Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 199 - 171 What Did You Call Me

Chapter 199: Chapter 171 What Did You Call Me?

Chapter 199: Chapter 171 What Did You Call Me?

In the hotel suite, Cheng Zhu’s conversation with Liu Jiani made Ye Zi start to doubt what was going on.

She was a bit confused for a while, wondering if her boss really meant something else when he said he was eighteen.

After all, from a certain perspective, Ye Zi considered herself half a quality inspector.

She had checked the merchandise and knew the score.

She just lacked a bit of assertiveness.

What she hadn’t expected was that Liu Jiani, a Chinese-French mixed race, didn’t restrain herself at all despite Ye Zi’s hints, but instead continued to reveal her true nature.

This made Ye Zi suddenly feel that Liu Jiani’s current behavior was a bit like her own at the beginning.

Seeing how handsome Cheng Zhu was and how youthful his face looked, she wanted to tease him a little in the form of a bad big sister.

Liu Jiani probably thought it was fun to tease such a naive male college student.

However, when Cheng Zhu heard her reply, he didn’t let his gaze drift down her face but just smiled and said, “Such a big deal, why didn’t you mention it earlier?”

A simple reply made Liu Jiani laugh continuously.

“Little boss, I didn’t realize you were quite fun,” she said, laughing and making eye contact with Cheng Zhu.

“Mutual, mutual,” Cheng Zhu replied.

He didn’t like the nickname “little boss,” but he didn’t plan to make a fuss about it on the spot; perhaps there would be a chance to settle the score later?

It was strange, even though Cheng Zhu was also Chinese, playing word games with her felt more interesting just because she was mixed race and bore a face completely different from Chinese women.

But to be fair, everyone has their own personal aesthetic.

Cheng Zhu personally thought that someone like Ye Zi was quite good with her medium build, and Lin Lu was absolutely perfect, while someone like Liu Jiani was a bit too much.

But she was tall; definitely about 1.72 meters.

With her tall figure, she didn’t seem too bulky.

If she were under 1.6 meters tall, she might have had a lot of trouble with outfits.

Of course, when Cheng Zhu was introducing his age, he didn’t mean anything else.

“I am both shy and socially anxious, how could I possibly be so unrestrained,” he thought.

After chatting briefly, Marie, dressed as a nun, emerged from the bathroom.

And she looked absolutely perfect in that outfit!

“Wow!” Liu Jiani exclaimed, looking at her girlfriend.

Marie no longer possessed the provocative allure she had before; now she looked dignified and pure.

Seems like she’s really into this cosplay, right?

Cheng Zhu seriously suspected that if he and Ye Zi weren’t present, there might have been a spectacular scene unfolding.

“Let’s do a test shoot,” Cheng Zhu instructed Ye Zi.

“Okay, boss,” replied Ye Zi, now a skilled QQ photographer.

Cheng Zhu watched as Marie cooperated perfectly, thinking to himself, “Later on, I can update the seller’s show on the Taobao store and swap a few photos there. Indeed, some styles look completely different when worn by foreign models.”

Having nothing better to do, he stood by with Liu Jiani, watching the photoshoot and chatting.

“I heard from Ye Zi that you manage a brand and also double as a fashion designer?” Cheng Zhu initiated the conversation.

These days, the number of internet-famous clothing stores on various platforms was increasing, especially women’s fashion.

Many female internet celebrities were turning traffic into sales by selling clothes.

Interestingly, these people generally wouldn’t publicly declare themselves as Taobao store owners or as someone selling clothes.

Instead, they typically referred to themselves as — brand managers.

You might say they’re putting on airs, and indeed, to some extent, they are. But actually, modifying some specific terms can really help them attract more fans.

Many women naturally gravitate towards strength and influence, and many influencers make themselves appear upper class and highly sophisticated, even falsely boasting about their income to attract female fans.

Hearing Cheng Zhu’s words, Liu Jiani nodded slightly and said, “The clothes I design are quite sexy too, but they’re distinctly different from the simple QQ uniforms you guys have.”

From her tone and expression, Cheng Zhu could tell she looked down on the design of QQ lingerie.

In her eyes, these clothes were all pretty much the same.

Take the current nun outfit, for instance, it was essentially just… a simplified version?

That is, keeping the essence while cutting down on the fabric used.

Being an independent designer, it’s understandable that she had her pride.

Even if her clothes weren’t selling well and weren’t highly accepted in the market, it wouldn’t affect her pride.

After chatting briefly, Ye Zi had already taken some pictures and brought them over for Cheng Zhu to inspect.

He glanced at them and nodded, “Good, very photogenic.”

“Of course, she used to be a model in my store; I have high standards,” Liu Jiani stated matter-of-factly.

Cheng Zhu, observing her, felt that their experiences were quite similar, both as rulers having drawn their own models into their domains.

Fellow travelers indeed.

“That’s fine, then I’ve got some things to handle now, so I’ll leave first. Ye Zi, you talk with them and arrange the shooting schedule for the next few days,” Cheng Zhu said.

“Okay, boss.”

After bidding farewell to the three women, Cheng Zhu hurriedly left the hotel suite.

After he left, Liu Jiani plonked herself on the sofa in a particularly graceless pose.

“Ye Zi, your little boss is quite handsome, just my type, he looks a bit naughty,” Liu Jiani said to her.

“Don’t call him little boss,” Ye Zi frowned, expressing her displeasure directly as they were quite familiar with each other, and added, “He definitely doesn’t like it either.”

“Yo, yo, yo!” Liu Jiani let out a meaningful sound.

Ye Zi ignored her and crouched down to open her luggage.

Inside the luggage were a bunch of QQ products that hadn’t been taken out before.

Since it was just a test shoot earlier, she had only casually taken out two items, a nun outfit, and a cow outfit.

Now, Liu Jiani, looking at a whole suitcase of QQ products, suddenly became a bit interested.

“Let’s discuss this now, fix the shoot times for each piece and try to finish within five days,” Ye Zi threw them all onto the bed.

The Chinese-French mixed-race picked up a few pieces and took a look, feeling they were just so-so. She picked up one, looked at it for two seconds, and casually put it down, her eyes carrying a scrutinizing glance.

Ye Zi, watching this unfold, knew that Liu Jiani’s arrogant professional habit was kicking in again.

That is until she picked up a gray high-neck backless sweater!

She flipped it over and examined it with a trace of astonishment in her eyes.

Liu Jiani might not have been a top-tier designer, but she was definitely a designer with sharp eyes.

She could see that although this product seemed ordinary, many details were incredibly amazing!

Where it needed to be tighter, where it needed to be looser, everything had been thoughtfully designed.

Of course, such clothes needed to be worn to see more of their potential.

She started communicating with Marie in French, asking her to try it on.

Ye Zi stood by without intending to continue discussing the shooting schedule.

She didn’t feel like they were wasting time at all and was actually quite looking forward to Liu Jiani’s reaction!

The products of “Persistent Visit” were very popular online, but Liu Jiani had not seen the pictures.

The term “information cocoon” would become popular a few years later. In an era driven by big data for information delivery, many people were unknowingly trapped in an information cocoon.

What you see is pushed to you by big data.

But from another perspective, this is also a kind of bondage.

Just like Liu Jiani, her focus was on the fashion circle.

Well, the circle “Persistent Visit” mixed in, well, let’s say… the benefits circle?

The situation of the “information cocoon” in 2014 wasn’t as severe as it would be later.

Some individuals noticed that, in the same comment area, the content male users saw was different from what female users saw!

But in 2014, the “information cocoon” definitely existed.

Or rather, due to human nature, people tend to create their information cocoons.

At this moment, since Cheng Zhu wasn’t there, Marie didn’t even go to the bathroom but started playing “Miracle Nuan Nuan” right there.

During her change, Liu Jiani knelt on the bed, continued to go through the “Persistent Visit” QQ products.

From the side, her posture was quite a sight to behold.

And you should know, the degree of skin firmness varies among different races.

Westerners are hardly ever described as soft; their flesh is firmer.

Being mixed race, even though Liu Jiani was lying on the bed optically spectacular, she did not exhibit too much droopiness but still maintained a rounded silhouette.

Soon, she grabbed the black Spiderman bodysuit with her two fingers and lifted it slightly.

“Spiderman too?” She was confused.

The outfit looked extremely tight when unworn, creating the illusion that it was impossible to slip into.

She raised her hands to stretch and look inside, gazing at the inverted triangle patterns and the slight differences in the shades of black and gray on certain parts, her astonishment deepening.

She was eager to see how this outfit looked when worn.

“Artful! Full of cleverness in its design language!”

She circled around Marie, who had switched to the gray sweater, clicking her tongue in wonder.

This sweater’s design at the back wasn’t like the typical backless outfits.

While the front of the sweater was tight-fitting, the back was ridiculously loose.

Yet, it managed to achieve an ideally revealing yet concealing effect.

“Also, this sweater has to be high-necked, otherwise the sense of casual comfort would drastically reduce. The knit patterns are just right too, the lines in the middle don’t feel superfluous but rather add a finishing touch.”

Then, when Marie put on the black Spiderman bodysuit, Liu Jiani went straight to touching the curves at her waist and hips, feeling the contours.

“These patterns, the color differences, and the unique sheen of the material are all very impressive, all very detailed.”

“Without these patterns and meticulous color variations, the visual impact wouldn’t be so strong, nor would it highlight the beauty of a woman’s figure to such an extent.”

Liu Jiani couldn’t help but start clicking her tongue in admiration.

“Are these two designs original to your store?” she asked.

“Otherwise?” Ye Zi replied.

“Ye Zi, your store’s designer is very impressive! I even think he’s a genius!” Liu Jiani’s eyes glinted, feeling like she found a kindred spirit.

This was someone she could sit down and share insights with, perhaps even someone she should earnestly seek advice from!

“Ye Zi, could you introduce me?” Liu Jiani usually didn’t act formally around her, but now she showed a rare serious expression.

Ye Zi looked at her and felt pleased.

She smiled and said, “Didn’t you just meet him?”
