The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 187 Holiland Girl's Style

At Rose Lane Wedding Photography Studio, Lu Xiaobei watched the coolest square dance video, "The Lone Warrior," with her sister, Lu Xiaoshan.

Lu Xiaobei looked smug after that.

"Sis, did I dance well?"

Lu Xiaoshan crossed his arms and glared at Lu Xiaobei.

Look how smug you are.

But I genuinely admire Yang Muye's execution ability.

The idea proposed on the 2nd was filmed on the 4th.

This wasn't just Lu Xiaoshan's idea; when he spoke with Wang Jingming on the phone earlier, Wang Jingming was also marveling at the efficiency of shooting the "Starry Sea" video.

Wang Jingming originally intended to release the video of Xin Huimei singing "The Rest of My Life" at the wedding today.

As a result, it clashed with the release of the most dazzling film, "The Lone Warrior".

It's not that Xin Huimei's influence is less than that of the Plastic Brothers, it's just that Wang Jingming is greedy and wants to monopolize the online buzz.

Therefore, the video release date has to be postponed again.

Wang Jingming's current plan is to postpone the announcement until the 7th, on the last day of the National Day holiday.

Surely they can't just release a new song to steal the spotlight, can they?

Just then, Lu Xiaobei's phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Lu Xiaobei immediately dropped her joking expression.

Just as Lu Xiaoshan was about to ask Lu Xiaobei who was calling, Lu Xiaobei answered the phone and gestured for Lu Xiaoshan to be quiet.

"Sister Ling, is there something you need?"

"We both watched the video you filmed, and Mr. Yang and I both thought it was well done."

"Thank you, Sister Ling. So, can we start filming the music video for 'The Lone Warrior' now?"

"I called you to tell you this: the music video for the coolest song, 'The Lone Warrior,' is not going to be filmed."

what?
Lu Xiaobei's eyes widened.

It was clearly agreed before that if the response to the most dazzling "Lone Warrior" video was good enough, the loser male actor would imitate the previous plastic brother's nonsense version of "Lone Warrior".

Make a knock-off of the original music video and shoot the coolest "Lone Warrior" music video ever.

This was his debut work as a loser guy.

Now they're suddenly saying they're not filming anymore, what does that mean?

"This is Mr. Yang's decision. He didn't expect the 'Lone Warrior' video to become so popular. It wouldn't make much sense for you to make another repeating MV. He plans to have the two of you sing the original version of this song, 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style'."

Lu Xiaobei, who was holding the phone, was completely stunned.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Even after putting down her phone, Lu Xiaobei still felt like she was dreaming.

To prove this wasn't a dream, Lu Xiaobei asked Lu Xiaoshan to pinch him.

"what!"

With a cry of pain, Lu Xiaobei rubbed her arm, which had been pinched red by Lu Xiaoshan, and complained that Lu Xiaoshan had hit her too hard.

Lu Xiaoshan, however, felt that he hadn't pinched hard enough and glared at Lu Xiaobei.

"Why are you so startled when you answer the phone? What happened?"

Lu Xiaobei, ignoring the pain in her arm, excitedly shouted at Lu Xiaoshan:

"Sis, I'm going to be famous!"

He relayed Hu Ling's exact words from the phone call to Lu Xiaoshan.

After listening, Lu Xiaoshan's expression became complicated.

On the one hand, I'm happy for my younger brother, but on the other hand, I'm amazed that Yang Muye has really mastered the art of riding the wave of popularity and gaining traffic.

First, they used the most dazzling video of "The Lone Warrior" to popularize the melody of the song, and then followed up with "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style".

Every time, they're just riding on their own coattails, but the key is that they always manage to come up with something new each time.

No one can argue with that.

This has made Lu Xiaoshan a little jealous of Lu Xiaobei.

I wish I had signed a contract with the Starry Sky and the Sea of ​​Dreams.

Lu Xiaobei knew what Lu Xiaoshan was thinking, and in her excitement, she immediately called Guan Zhenlei to tell him the good news.

Jiahao New Town.

Liu Qing had just changed her clothes and was standing in front of the mirror, holding a point-and-shoot camera, ready to take a selfie.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Liu Qing put down her camera, walked to the front door, and first looked out through the peephole.

Seeing that it was Liu Meili, he opened the door with peace of mind.

Upon meeting, Liu Meili was about to greet Liu Qing warmly, but she was stunned when she saw Liu Qing's outfit.

She wore a black short-sleeved dress with a white collar, a white lace-trimmed apron tied around her waist, and she wore sheer flesh-colored stockings and flat shoes.

Her hair was tied into a thick braid and draped elegantly and casually over her right shoulder.

Liu Meili hesitated before speaking:
"Liu Qing, what are you doing—"

"Aunt Liu, this is my work uniform. I found an internship in advance, working as a manager at a milk tea shop."

Milk tea shop?
Liu Meili looked shocked, as if to say, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."

What kind of milk tea shop requires people to dress like this?
But to be fair, Liu Qing looks really beautiful in this outfit.

It's just as good as her daughter Jung Yoo-eun's flight attendant uniform.

Even a middle-aged woman like Liu Meili couldn't help but take a second look, let alone the men.

Despite her emotions, Liu Meili did not forget her business.

"Liu Qing, are you free right now?"

Liu Qing nodded:
"Aunt Liu, what do you need me to do when you have time?"

"Youen's computer is password protected, and she's currently on a plane. I can't reach her. Could I borrow your computer to watch a video?"

"can."

Liu Qing stepped aside to let Liu Meili in.

As Liu Meili passed the dressing mirror by the door, she noticed the camera placed to the side.

There were two dresses, similar in style to the one Liu Qing was wearing, lying on the small sofa in the living room.

One set is blue, and the other is pink.

When Liu Qing invited Liu Meili to sit down, Liu Meili clicked her tongue in amazement and said:

"Liu Qing, your milk tea shop has three sets of clothes?"

"Aunt Liu, these two sets are the uniforms for the employees of the milk tea shop. The boss asked me to try them on and take a picture."

Liu Meili nodded after listening.

Liu Qing brought her laptop from the bedroom and asked Liu Meili what videos she wanted to watch.

"Just search for 'The Lone Warrior' on the website where you showed me the 'Little Apple' video last time."

This method was taught to Liu Meili by Yao Meijuan.

In reality, Liu Qing's operation was not that complicated.
The coolest video, "The Lone Warrior," has been featured on Youku's homepage; just click to play.

It had already garnered over a million views in just over an hour after its release.

It became incredibly popular.

Liu Meili watched the video on repeat three times before finally saying goodbye and leaving, completely satisfied.

After seeing Liu Meili off, Liu Qing closed the door, picked up her camera, and took a few photos in front of the mirror.

Then she changed into the pink outfit and the blue outfit, and took a few pictures of each.

Afterwards, I connected the camera's memory card to the computer and selected three of my favorite photos. I packaged them together and sent them to Yang Muyi and Gao Yunyue's email addresses respectively.

Gao Yunyue then informed the other party via text message.

Yang Muye then informed him via QQ.

After receiving the photo from Liu Qing, Yang Muye covered Liu Qing's face with a mosaic and then posted the photo to the "Happy Farm Mutual Aid Vegetable Stealing" group.

Also tagging @Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing.

"The work uniforms for the milk tea shop are ready. When do you two have time to come to the shop to pick them up?"

Members who used to only chatted about harvesting and stealing crops on the farm suddenly started popping up in chatter.

Qiao Jingjing: "Is this the staff uniform of the milk tea shop? It's so pretty!"

Xia Qing: "Looking forward to seeing how Hongdou and Nannan will look in them."

Bei Weiwei: "What kind of milk tea shop is this? Does it have a branch in Shanghai?"

Ruan Wan: "Is the salary high? If it is, I'd like to apply for a job as a shop assistant."

Chen Nanxing: "I don't know if the salary is high or not, but the application requirements are really high. Girls are required to be over 163 cm tall, and boys are required to be over 175 cm tall."

Xie Meilan: "I'm probably the only one in the group who didn't meet the standard, please give me a hug!"

Zhao Erxi: "Meilan, don't cry. My height is also 1 centimeter short."

Zhu Suosuo: "Everyone is talking about the clothes, am I the only one curious about who the model is?"

Jiang Nansun: "We're curious too!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all group members received a notification that the group owner had invited a new member to join the group.

Liu Qing: "Hello everyone!"

Yang Muye: "Senior Sister Liu is the manager of Bawangchaji Milk Tea Shop. You can ask her any questions you may have."

The article also included a photo of Liu Qing without covering her face.

Just as everyone was greeting Liu Qing, Yang Zixi suddenly posted an angry animated image in the group chat.

"Everyone hurry up and harvest your crops on your farms! A despicable guy has stolen all the crops we planted while we were chatting in the group chat."

Yang Muyi, sitting in front of his computer, saw the message sent by Yang Zixi and closed the webpage of "Happy Farm" with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, after discovering that Yang Muye had visited all of their farms, the people in the group began to condemn him in the group chat.

Yang Zixi, filled with righteous indignation, even suggested kicking Yang Muye out of the group.

Yang Muyi immediately granted Yang Zixi group administrator privileges, allowing her to kick people out as she pleased.

Anyway, I'm the group admin, so I'm not afraid at all.

This move doesn't cause much damage, but it's extremely insulting.

Enraged, Yang Zixi vowed to set an alarm to stake out and steal vegetables from Yang Muyi's farm, and she also wanted to encourage everyone to steal together.

Girls' dormitory 302.

After complaining in the group chat, Yang Zixi continued to criticize Yang Muye offline.

Xia Qing turned away from the computer and told Yang Zixi two solutions.

Either create a new group and exclude Yang Muyi.

Either you have to swallow your anger and keep quiet.

"Of course, there is a third way."

As Xia Qing spoke, she glanced at Xu Hongdou, who was sitting in front of the computer next door.

"Find someone who can threaten Yang Muye and help you get justice."

Everyone in dormitory 302 knows that Xu Hongdou calls Yang Muye's mother, Gao Yunyue, at least once a week.

If there's anyone in the group that Yang Muyi would be wary of, it's undoubtedly Xu Hongdou.

Yang Zixi was also puzzled.

Xu Hongdou was clearly on QQ and had seen the messages in the group, but she didn't post anything in the group.

It's been so long, who has Xu Hongdou been chatting with?
Chen Nanxing secretly glanced at Xu Hongdou's computer screen.

I didn't see the specific chat content, I only saw who Xu Hongdou was chatting with.

Upon seeing this, he secretly mouthed the words to Yang Zixi and Xia Qing.

Xu Hongmi!
"Drip drip!"

In the QQ chat window, Xu Hongmi sent a new message.

"This skirt is neither short nor revealing. Most female office workers wear skirts of this length to work, so I think it's quite normal."

Xu Hongdou immediately typed a rebuttal:

"This is clearly just a publicity stunt, and it has the suspicion of being a cheap trick."

Xu Hongmi replied instantly:

"But you can't deny that this method does help boost sales. There's a study abroad that showed that for every 1% increase in the attractiveness of a salesperson, customers' willingness to buy increases by 2%."

"At the same time, social psychology research has also proven that men have a higher willingness to buy when facing salespeople of the opposite sex. By improving the appearance of sales staff, the spending threshold of male customers can be increased, resulting in higher average transaction value and repurchase rate. This is why all the sales staff in those jewelry stores are young and beautiful women."

"Moreover, good-looking shop assistants can bring a 'halo effect,' and people tend to assume that good-looking people will also excel in other aspects. Although this is often not the case in reality, there are exceptions, such as Yang Muye."

"When customers are faced with a team of good-looking staff, they will unconsciously think of the meticulous process of making milk tea and the quality of the ingredients, which coincides with the product selling point of 'fresh milk and fresh tea' that you mentioned earlier."

Seeing that Xu Hongmi was taking the opportunity to lecture her again, Xu Hongdou replied helplessly:

"That's why I said he's essentially a shrewd businessman."

Upon seeing this message, Xu Hongmi, on the other end of the computer, really wanted to say something.

She would rather Yang Muye be a shrewd businessman who simply wanted to use Xu Hongdou's good looks as a selling point to attract customers.

The real concern is that Yang Muye's motives may not be pure.

Not only do they want to eat the vegetables, but they also want to take the pot they used to cook them.

Xu Hongmi finally replied, "Knowing he's a shrewd businessman, you're still willing to work for him?"

Xu Hongdou immediately emphasized, "How could I do this willingly? I was forced, okay!"

Xu Hongmi, sitting in front of her computer, couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, people who are truly love-struck are unaware of their own love-struck tendencies.

On the other side, Xu Hongdou was about to explain further to Xu Hongmi.

"Drip drip!"

Another QQ friend's avatar started flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The dialog box that popped up after clicking the mouse surprised Xu Hongdou.

It was actually a message from Gao Yunyue.

The two had only recently become QQ friends and hadn't spoken to each other.

She never expected Gao Yunyue to start chatting with her at this time.

"Red Bean, are you there?"

"Aunt Gao, is something the matter?"

"Auntie wants to ask you something. Did you know that Ono is going to open a chain of milk tea shops?"

"know."

Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment, but in the end she forwarded the photos of the employee uniforms that Yang Muye had sent to the group to Gao Yuanyue.

"Red Bean, what do you think about this? I mean, Ono is planning to hire a group of pretty girls as shop assistants."

Xu Hongdou really wanted to tell Gao Yunyue that she was one of the pretty girls Gao Yunyue had mentioned.

After carefully considering it for a few seconds, Xu Hongdou changed the "brilliant opinions" that Xu Hongmi had just expressed, and sent them to Gao Yunyue in her own words.

Gao Yunyue quickly replied:
"So you actually support Ono doing this."

"Aunt Gao, what I just said was just theoretical and didn't really constitute any support or opposition."

"It's alright. It's already quite impressive that you have such insight at your age. Auntie is planning to be an angel investor in the Xiao Ye chain milk tea shop. Since even you have faith in Xiao Ye, Auntie is even more at ease."
