Chapter 650: Chapter 333: Our Hanfu Is a Self-Inflicted Humiliation

The way they were so close, they looked a bit like sisters.

"The company won’t be here for much longer," Xiaoju remarked.

"Mhm, the Boss wants to buy a whole building. I wonder how that’s going. I’m kind of looking forward to it," Li Xiaoyang replied with a bright smile.

The two arrived at Second-Life Star’s fashion design department and found that the Boss and Sister Hong were already there.

"Boss, Sister Hong!" the two girls greeted in unison. Li Xiaoyang then stepped forward and affectionately linked her arm with Chen Jincheng’s. "Boss, did you call us back to shoot a video for us?"

She was quite looking forward to the videos the Boss filmed.

After all, the two videos the Boss had filmed for her had both gone viral. The subsequent videos, planned by the company and shot by the photography department, had much worse stats.

Xiaoju was also eager to know the answer, but in front of so many people, she couldn’t be as forward with the Boss as Li Xiaoyang. ’I can’t have people thinking I’m competing with her for his favor.’

’If I’m going to be close to him, it has to be when I’m the only one around.’

"That’s right. I had you come try on some Hanfu so we can go shoot a video for Hanfu Travel Day," Chen Jincheng said with a smile, putting his arm around Xiaoju and leading both girls inside.

Since he had taken the initiative to put his arm around her, Xiaoju leaned into him intimately. ’He made the first move.’

Sister Hong watched this from behind. ’Seriously,’ she thought, ’I’ve never seen such a shameless boss. Can’t he restrain himself just a little at the office?’

Once inside, Wanxi and Jingshu saw the two girls and hurried over. "Xiaoju, Xiaoyang, you’re here! Quick, come with us to try on the clothes."

As the Hanfu designers, they were more excited than anyone to see the final result now that the pieces were finished. After all, their goal had always been to promote the beauty of Hanfu and introduce it to a wider audience.

Besides, thanks to the Boss’s guidance, their understanding of Hanfu had deepened, and they were eager to see the results.

Sister Hong was just as excited. After all, Hanfu was a top priority in the Boss’s plans and stood to bring significant profits to the company.

Wanxi and Jingshu led Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang further inside, where other Hanfu designers were already arranging two Warring States-style Hanfu.

That’s right. This time, Chen Jincheng wanted the two girls to wear Warring States-style Hanfu to film a video featuring a martial sword dance.

The Warring States period was, after all, famous for its martial heroes and Swordsmen.

It fit the theme of the video perfectly.

Plus, the Warring States-style Hanfu was both simple and beautiful.

As soon as the two girls walked in, they saw the two beautiful Warring States-style Hanfu, their faces filled with astonishment.

"These clothes are gorgeous."

"Are these for us to wear?"

The two girls looked on with renewed anticipation.

Wanxi nodded. "The Boss said you’re to wear this Hanfu and go with him to film a video. Go on, hurry up and change!"

The two girls didn’t hesitate for a second. After taking the two Hanfu, they immediately went to the dressing room to change.

When they came out again, the eyes of Wanxi, Jingshu, and the other Hanfu designers lit up.

The two women were stunning.

The sunny charm of Li Xiaoyang and the cool, aloof aura of Xiaoju made the already beautiful Hanfu look even more stunning.

Now they understood why the Boss had hand-picked these two to be the first to try on the Hanfu and why he wanted to feature them so prominently.

After all, Second-Life Star had no shortage of beautiful women.

The Boss’s eye for talent was incredibly sharp.

After showering the two girls with praise, Wanxi immediately led them out to show the Boss and Sister Hong. This was the fruit of their labor, and they were so proud they couldn’t wait for the Boss to see.

When Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang came out, both Chen Jincheng’s and Sister Hong’s eyes lit up instantly.

Sister Hong had heard her boss describe the beauty of Hanfu before, but it had only ever been an image in her mind. She’d had no concrete idea of just how beautiful the garments would be once they were actually made.

But seeing them now with her own eyes was a completely different experience.

They were truly beautiful.

It made her want to get a Hanfu set for herself to wear for a video and some photos.

This also made her realize that the Hanfu line the Boss was creating would definitely be a success. It was a matter of empathy; if she liked it and had this kind of reaction, then other girls who loved to look beautiful certainly would too.

They looked even better than the female leads in television dramas. Who wouldn’t want to dress like this, take a set of radiant photos and a video, and then post them on their social media feed or Tiao Yin?

As Chen Jincheng looked at the two girls in their Hanfu, a familiar scene seemed to surface in his memory.

In the year ’23 of his previous life, the Innate Widow Sacred Body and the Innate Sun Sacred Body had also worn Hanfu just like this. The video they filmed together attracted countless perverts and went incredibly viral.

As this thought crossed Chen Jincheng’s mind, he began instructing the two girls. "Li Xiaoyang, give a flirtatious look. Xiaoju, reach out and lift her chin. Just act as intimate as you possibly can."

’This kind of sapphic tension, that forbidden, restrained feeling... 23 years from now, tons of historical-style influencers will be using this gimmick. The key is that it’s extremely appealing to all the creeps online.’

The two girls had no idea what the Boss was getting at, and Sister Hong and the others were also a bit baffled.

But when the two girls did as he instructed, Chen Jincheng suddenly smiled. ’There it is, that’s the feeling.’

Sister Hong and the others stared, stunned. ’What the hell is this? It has such a strong, forbidden feeling... but it’s also incredibly alluring.’

’What on earth goes on in the Boss’s head all day? How can he just come up with these strange yet effective ideas on the spot?’
