Chapter 5: New Style Release

  Lin Zhen's call came in at this moment like a timely rain. Jian Yan walked to the side and answered the phone. Before she could say anything, Lin Zhen said impatiently, "I suddenly remembered that I went to see you yesterday to tell you about the collaborative styles launched by Bunny and you. They're going on sale today!"

  "… Hmm, I've already seen them here on the spot."

  "…" Lin Zhen laughed awkwardly twice. "I had so much fun chatting with you yesterday that I forgot about this. Hehe."

  "I think you had too much fun listening to the singing event," Jian Yan retorted, and then said, "Regarding the promotional activities that I need to cooperate with…"

  "Don't worry! I've already posted the promotions on both your Weibo and the Weibo of your studio!"

  "Okay, that's good." Because Jian Yan had been too busy drawing, she didn't have much time to manage her Weibo, and it was almost always Lin Zhen who took care of it.

  Lin Zhen asked, "How are the actual clothes you saw?"

  "They're almost the same as the sample clothes shown to us before. I haven't taken a close look yet."

  "Oh… But come to think of it, as a salesperson at Xingguang Department Store, you'll get a sales commission for selling a piece of the collaborative clothing. And as the cartoonist Tangzhi, you'll also get a commission from Bunny. You'll earn money twice for the same piece of clothing??"

  The corners of Jian Yan's mouth curled up. "Yeah. Don't you think I'm awesome?"

  "… The schemes in the city are too deep. I truly think this is the real reason why you became a salesperson at Xingguang Department Store."

  "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm about to have a morning meeting here," Jian Yan said and then hung up the phone. Just then, the team leader also came over and asked everyone to gather.

  "Everyone has seen that the collaborative styles launched by Bunny and Tangzhi are on sale today. Today happens to be the weekend, and there will definitely be a lot of customers coming to inquire and purchase. You need to be prepared. Also, a few more pieces of clothing were delivered this morning. Later, change the clothes for the mannequins over there. And for this large poster, stick it on this display board and place it in the most prominent position," the team leader quickly gave instructions to everyone. "There are still more than twenty minutes before the mall opens for business. Hurry up and get everything ready before the door opens."

  After the team leader finished giving the instructions, everyone started to take action. Jian Yan matched the clothes for the mannequins and then went to look at the large promotional poster. She had specially drawn this for this collaboration for Bunny. The model was the female protagonist in her works, Shang Ke.

  There was a row of exquisitely designed fonts on the poster, which were also particularly eye-catching—Tangzhi yfy, officially launched today!

  Yfy is a sub-brand launched by Bunny to fill the gap in the mid-range market. In recent years, due to the rise of the Internet, clothing brands have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and major brands have had to start adjusting their business strategies. Some brands launched entry-level products with lower prices, such as silk scarves and mini handbags, while others launched affordable sub-brands.

  However, sub-brands have a hard time getting rid of the shadow of the main brand. Most of them just make slight improvements to the clothes of the main brand and then mass-produce them using fabrics with slightly lower costs.

  The clothes of yfy have always had this problem, and some consumers even accused it of being the official copying itself.

  This collaboration between Bunnyfy and Tangzhi is a brand-new attempt. They can not only borrow the extremely high popularity of the comic to attract consumers but also inject fresh blood into the clothing.

  For Jian Yan, this collaboration has fulfilled her life as a designer, and Bunny is also a Party B who is quite generous.

  As soon as the mall opened, many customers came to inquire about the collaborative styles, and Jian Yan was kept busy receiving customers and hardly had any rest.

  "This one, this one. I really liked it when I read the comic. I didn't expect it to be so cute when it's made!"

  "The price is also quite cute, 3,888 yuan."

  "… Compared to the main brand whose prices often exceed ten thousand yuan, this price is indeed very nice!"

  Two girls who looked like high school students were chattering around a coat. Jian Yan walked over and smiled at them. "If you like it, you can try it on."

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  The girl with short hair looked at her, appearing hesitant. "Forget it. Anyway, I can't afford it…"

  Jian Yan smiled and picked up a white fluffy beret for her. "Actually, you don't have to buy the clothes. These accessories are also very nice. For example, this beret was also worn by Shang Ke in the comic."

  "Yes, yes, I remember! The little rabbit on it is so cute!" The girl took the beret from her hand and tried it on her head. "You've also read Tangzhi's comic?"

  Jian Yan said, "Yeah, I like her very much!"

  "Me too. The clothes drawn by Ms. Tangzhi are all so beautiful!"

  "Yes. I think she must be a very beautiful person in real life," Jian Yan said sincerely.

  The girl nodded in agreement. "I'll buy this beret."

  "Okay, please come over here to check out. Thank you for your patronage."

  After Jian Yan led the two little girls to check out, she heard a colleague whispering, "Manager He is here!"

  Although her voice was kept very low, it couldn't hide the excitement in her words. Jian Yan looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw He Xiu walking over.

  He was wearing a perfectly ironed black coat, paired with a white shirt and a black tie inside. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he smiled at the crowd and said, "Today, the collaborative styles of Bunny and Tangzhi are on sale. I specially came to take a look. You just go about your business and don't mind me."

  Hearing that sexy voice again, Jian Yan's heart skipped a couple of beats. She couldn't help frowning. What was wrong with her recently?

  There were a lot of customers in the sales area. He Xiu originally wanted to ask Jian Yan if she was getting used to the work. However, several customers asked him to help them look at the clothes, and he couldn't spare the time.

  Jian Yan glanced in his direction, and her gaze casually swept over a girl outside the sales area. She was tall and thin, with a ponytail on her head, and the clothes she was wearing… Jian Yan pursed her lips and chose a milder word, plain.

  It seemed that the girl herself also realized that she didn't fit in with the fashionable sales area, so she had been standing outside and didn't come in.

  After thinking for a while, Jian Yan walked towards her. "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?"

  The girl looked up at her, and timidly adjusted the glasses on her nose. "No…"

  Jian Yan's eyes flickered, and she said, "Today, the collaborative clothing of Ms. Tangzhi and Bunny is on sale. Would you like to come in and take a look?" As she spoke, she also pointed at the large poster placed outside the sales area. "What do you think? It looks great, right?"

  The girl nodded and said, "Yeah, it looks great."

  Jian Yan looked at her and didn't say anything more. After a while, the girl finally said, "I, I want to buy a set of clothes, but I rarely go shopping in the mall…"

  Jian Yan said, "It doesn't matter. I can recommend some for you."

  The girl said, "But my budget is only 8,000 yuan."

  Jian Yan smiled. "You can buy really nice clothes with 8,000 yuan. The set I'm wearing doesn't cost more than 8,000 yuan either."

  The girl looked at her. A khaki leather jacket, high-waisted printed wide-leg pants, a white knitted sweater, and a pair of black leather shoes. "You look really nice in them."

  "You can look nice too." As she spoke, Jian Yan led her into the sales area and started recommending clothes to her. "Pink is a very popular color this year. This coat has a classic style, and with the trendy pink color, it adds a touch of cuteness to the classic look."

  The girl touched the fluffy coat and said, "Shang Ke has worn this coat."

  "Yes. You can match it with this dress as an inner layer. The lace pattern is cute and sexy, and the length is just right." As she spoke, Jian Yan picked up a pair of brown high-heeled shoes for her. "Do you usually wear high-heeled shoes?"

  The girl shook her head. Jian Yan said, "It doesn't matter. The heels of these shoes aren't high. You can give them a try."

  The girl held the things she had selected and followed her to the fitting room. Jian Yan waited outside for five or six minutes before the girl came out. She took a look and nodded in satisfaction. "It looks pretty good. Take a look for yourself."

  She pushed the mirror over. The girl stared at the mirror for a moment and then lowered her head. "The clothes are beautiful, but I really don't suit such fashionable clothes."

  Jian Yan said, "You feel there's a sense of disharmony because your hairstyle and makeup aren't right. If you change your hairstyle and put on a light makeup, it will be completely different. Let me style your hair a little."

  As she spoke, she gently untied the girl's ponytail. The girl looked at her in the mirror for a while and then said, "Actually, I'm a bit afraid to talk to the salesperson, especially the salesperson in the Dream Wardrobe…"

  Jian Yan laughed. "What's there to be afraid of? The customer is always right."

  The girl pursed her lips and said, "My parents said that if a girl loves beauty, she won't have the heart to study. So they've always bought me very old-fashioned clothes since I was a child. It was okay when everyone wore school uniforms in middle school. But after I went to university, all my other classmates dressed beautifully, while I… I know everyone often talked about me being old-fashioned behind my back."

  Jian Yan's hand paused for a moment and then continued to style her hair. "I was the same. My family was very poor when I was a child, and we even had problems with eating, let alone buying clothes. At that time, our school didn't require us to wear school uniforms. I was mocked by my classmates for being old-fashioned since middle school."

  The girl looked at her in surprise, seemingly very surprised. Jian Yan smiled at her. "Can't you tell? Because now I can earn my own money and buy nice clothes."

  "Ah, the money I have is the scholarship from the school and the living expenses I've saved up usually. I heard that the new styles of Bunny and Ms. Tangzhi are on sale today, so I came here specially."

  Jian Yan roughly styled her hair and then asked her to look up at the mirror. "How do you feel now? If you're not allergic to contact lenses, it would be better to change to contact lenses. Or you can choose a pair of glasses with a more design sense, and it will look good on you too."

  "Okay, okay. It really looks much better now!" The girl looked at the mirror curiously, as if she had just rediscovered herself today.

  Jian Yan said to her, "There's no conflict between studying and wearing beautiful clothes. Rich knowledge can give you confidence and strength, and so can beautiful clothes."

  He Xiu looked in their direction, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
