Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 145 Memoirs of a Deceased Husband (6k Subscription Request)

Lu Yao has been working in Hangzhou recently. For the affairs in Hangzhou, Lu Yao has begun to appear in person to pave the way for Miss Hu from Hangzhou.

In Lu Yao's live broadcast, the interaction between Lu Yao and Hu Xiaoyu really has a CP feeling.

Even Sister Wang felt that they were indeed a match made in heaven.

Lu Yaoying is handsome, suave and unrestrained. Although he is a bit cynical, he is generally calm and generous.

Where is Hu Xiaoyu?

Not only is she beautiful and graceful, but her temperament is also just like Xi Shi, who can be happy or angry, ethereal and elegant.

These two people look like a perfect couple just standing together.

Hu Xiaoyu is older than Lu Yao, but only three or four years older. In terms of family background, although Hu Xiaoyu's ancestors were very wealthy, they are now basically only involved in the art and cultural circles. He is noble but not out of reach.

It seems that Hu Xiaoyu is indeed a good destination for Lu Yao.

Whenever she sees the online updates of Lu Yao and Hu Xiaoyu, Sister Wang always feels sorry for herself in the mirror. She can't bear to give them up but can't get them, she can't hold on to them but can't let them go. This state of mind makes Sister Wang extremely conflicted.

It turns out that life in this world can really be so bitter.

After Jian Xiaojie teased Sister Wang for several days, she no longer received messages from Sister Wang, which made Jian Xiaojie a little panicked: "Woman! Why don't you pay attention to me?"

"Oh dear sister, I was wrong~ Just treat it as my fart~"

"Sister Shu, please reply to my message. Don't make me kneel down and beg you!"

Sister Wang never responded to Jian Xiaojie's message. She was even thinking, if Lu Yao was really with Hu Xiaoyu, how would she exit gracefully?

Then Jian Xiaojie rushed to the apartment where Sister Wang and Lu Yao lived in a hurry. As soon as she arrived there, Jian Xiaojie knocked on the door.

Sister Wang had no choice but to go and open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Jian Xiaojie hugged Sister Wang, and her plump body was pressed against Sister Wang.

Jian Xiaojie complained: "Woman, why don't you reply to me?"

Damn!

Sister Wang was really helpless: "Where is the door!"

Jian Xiaojie closed the door with her foot, and then said in a soft voice: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Then Jian Xiaojie took Sister Wang's hand and hit herself in the face: "You slap me~~"

Sister Wang pulled her hand back: "Don't make trouble, I'm annoyed."

She broke away from Jian Xiaojie's arms and sat back on the sofa in the living room, sighing, "Actually, you're right. Lu Yao's career is on the rise now. If he can really be a couple with Miss Hu, it would be a good thing."

Jian Xiaojie rolled her eyes and said, "Do you take this seriously?"

"It is absolutely impossible for them to be together. Lu Yao has no worries about money when he is with Nian Qing, and no shortage of snacks when he is with you. What does he have to do with Miss Hu?"

Sister Wang’s eyes flickered.

Jian Xiaojie took off her coat, revealing the slim-fitting long skirt underneath: "Do you really think Lu Yao is a gigolo? That guy has a very righteous idea, and you're planning for him."

"What?" Jian Xiaojie pressed herself against Sister Wang and hugged her, her hands also becoming dishonest: "Do you want to be his stepmother?"

Sister Wang: “???”

She immediately glared at Jian Xiaojie: "What are you talking about? Don't be so clumsy."

Jian Xiaojie smiled evilly: "You asked me to make this trip, you can't let me run for nothing, right?"

Although the Chinese New Year has passed, the weather in Shangnan is still cold, but spring has first appeared in Sister Wang and Lu Yao's residence.

Compared to Sister Wang's anxiety about gains and losses, among the several women who also have relationships with Lu Yao, Cheng Xinyu doesn't care at all. To some extent, she and Lu Yao are mutually beneficial. In fact, in Cheng Xinyu's cognition, the person who is dominated is the one who takes the initiative.

Although Zhou Bella saw the interaction between Lu Yao and Hu Xiaoyu, she was so virtuous that she did not worry about gains and losses.

She had already decided in her heart that she would give herself to Lu Yao. Even when she closed the door and blocked Lu Yao, she asked "Do you want it?" instead of anything else, so she had no other thoughts.

She would appear when Lu Yao needed her, and he would not bother her when she didn't need him.

The most free and easy person is probably Boss Chen Xing, because Boss Chen Xing doesn’t pay attention to Lu Yao’s online updates at all. She is busy in the factory every day and is even thinking about the future direction.

at the same time.

Rong Nianqing handed over the specific implementation of the public opinion attack against Xinbai Plaza to Gan Xiaoxi. She asked Gan Xiaoxi to contact people and be responsible for the subsequent implementation of the plan.

Lu Yao suggested that they could hold a show directly in Xinbai Plaza, then challenge the entire network through live webcast, and set up a high reward to recruit warriors. However, after legal research, it was found that it was inappropriate to hold the event directly in Xinbai Plaza, and it would be better if the main body initiating the event was not Huasheng Life.

Anyway, it's just a matter of causing trouble, so it's the same if you just create a few puppets.

This approach was approved after a brief discussion between Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao, and then it was handed over to Gan Xiaoxi, with Zhu Junyan providing assistance.

Soon, a piece of news about counterfeit second-hand luxury goods broke out on the Internet. The news quickly became popular at an inexplicable speed, spreading from its starting point, Modu, to all parts of the country.

In the video, a girl dressed in a petty bourgeois style screams at the top of her lungs in a second-hand luxury goods store, angrily accusing the store of selling her fake goods. She even posts the process of discovering the super-A fake goods online.

She was obviously a very respectable lady, but she was acting like a mad shrew in Yingtian Road, the most prosperous street in Shanghai. This contrasting scene itself has strong spreadability.

Many netizens who were present at the time posted this video on Weibo, WeChat Moments and even forums, where it quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens.

"What's going on? It's not a fake bag, is it?"

"Xiang Wuning."

"It's not a fake bag? It looks like a limited edition luxury bag. A used one would cost less than 100,000 yuan."

Many male netizens expressed their confusion: "Why? How can a second-hand bag like that be so expensive?"

Many local netizens in Shanghai jumped out to say something sarcastic: "This guy is obviously from out of town, trying to buy luxury bags just to show off."

"Shouldn't this be the problem of that second-hand luxury goods store? Can't they tell the difference between real and fake bags?"

Then a netizen came out to show off: "You don't understand this. Replica luxury bags are a big business. Many luxury bags reproduced by experts can be said to be indistinguishable from the originals. All the details can be made exactly the same for you. Of course, these replica bags are generally not cheap."

Then some fans of luxury brands jumped out to criticize these netizens: "Fake is fake, in the end it's just that the store is not good."

Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, especially on the masked Internet, where everyone is very willing to reveal their dark side and show their aggressiveness without exposing their true identity.

Netizens will always tirelessly confront those who refute them.

Before the first year of the Internet, netizens’ favorite thing to do was to build buildings online in the comment sections and forum posts. Some popular posts could even have tens of thousands of floors.

Netizens from all over the world expressed their opinions in it, and the atmosphere was filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Not to mention that there is also a marketing account belonging to Lu Yao, and the water army is fanning the flames and expanding the battle line.

After being spread by these marketing accounts and water armies, the popularity of genuine and fake luxury goods began to rise, so many big Vs who like to take advantage of the popularity started to tag and post, especially those who already make a living in the luxury industry.

For a time, various teaching videos on how to identify authentic and fake luxury goods emerged one after another, followed by various face-slapping videos.

The war of words on the Internet has become a mess.

Tao Sixing and others at Xinbai Plaza have also noticed the changes in public opinion on the Internet.

Tao Sixing was not surprised by the trend of public opinion online, as this was within their expectations.

Tang Jingjing looked at the public opinion on the Internet and laughed: "They really used this trick. When they are at their most lively, we will release the new products in the auction using the latest anti-counterfeiting technology, hoping to restore some reputation."

Tao Sixing said: "At the same time, let our public relations and marketing focus on promoting the history and culture of each high-end luxury brand. Culture is the core of a brand's style."

Tang Jingjing smiled and said, "Okay."

But the subsequent developments on the Internet surprised Tao Sixing and Tang Jingjing a little.

After seeing this wave of popularity of genuine and fake luxury goods, a blogger with a rich second-generation persona directly invested in organizing an authenticity and fake luxury goods identification competition online. The winner can choose to take the prize money in the prize pool, or choose to add the prize money to the next round to get double the prize money.

They also put up a very exciting title: The fateful duel between the replicator and the appraiser! Who will win the million-dollar prize?

This duel will be broadcast live offline to the entire network, and netizens can participate in it and vote for both the replica and the authentication parties.

The eye-catching title and event immediately sparked the interest of netizens, who were originally arguing fiercely online and immediately began to add fuel to the fire:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Someone is hosting an offline competition now. Why don't you just go compete and find out if you're not yelling so loudly?"

"That's right! Damn, this sounds a bit passionate."

"I am a replicator, and I have thought of nine ways to trick the appraiser! Nine!!"

Offline reality is always something that netizens like to see. Even Mr. Lei and Mr. Zhou made plans to fight each other on the Internet, let alone ordinary people?
After the internet celebrity’s event was announced, his personal account started to gain followers like crazy. At the same time, the event was held in a studio in Shangnan. This netizen updated the on-site layout and registration status in real time every day.

With the support of various parties, the high prize money and the netizens' desire to watch for fun, the popularity of this online talent show was surprisingly high.

This made Lu Yao think of the YY singing talent show held by a certain internet celebrity. It can only be said that netizens' love of joining in the fun gives them an innate advantage in causing trouble.

But this alone cannot bring down the style of luxury brands.

After three days of recuperation, Lu Yao's allergic reaction improved a lot, so he personally managed the marketing account and water army, and began to deny the culture and tonal characteristics of major luxury brands based on their history of success.

Slice off these so-called luxury goods and foreign celebrities’ comments on their attitudes towards luxury goods and spread them online.

"So-called luxury goods are nothing more than a sickle to harvest small wealthy families and a consumption trap set by the rich."

“Real rich people would not value these so-called luxury goods, but they are willing to use these worthless things to create the illusion that you can get close to them.”

“The real assets are real estate in core areas, gold, silver and even land.”

"The only effect of this kind of stuff that you can buy with just a little bit of grit is to tear your wallet apart." Similar remarks began to spread widely taking advantage of the public opinion boom. This kind of information coming from a higher level naturally contains a higher density, is more logical, and is rare and novel, so it was quickly learned by Internet buddies.

By trampling on the luxury brands that were originally high-end, netizens who cannot afford these luxury brands can get a sense of comfort from "trampling".

For a time, there was an endless stream of ridicule against luxury brands online.

It seems like carrying a luxury brand bag makes you look like a sucker.

This made many people who like to buy these things and those working in the luxury goods industry very unhappy, and counterattacks from public opinion followed.

"I'm sorry, I just think these brands have a sense of design and look good, so I bought them. As for the price? I never buy things without looking at the price."

"Only poor people keep looking at the cost-effectiveness of the effect. Money can't buy my happiness. Do you understand?"

"What you consider luxury goods are just little gadgets I bought when I was happy while shopping [laughing to death][laughing to death] and you're still excited about it."

These remarks made by rich men and women are very likely to arouse hatred, so another wave of online attacks began.

……

After four days of recuperation, Lu Yao's symptoms finally improved a lot. His face was no longer swollen, and his body was no longer itchy. Only the place where the raw lacquer was first applied still had some signs of redness and swelling.

It was the allergies of the past few days that made Lu Yao lose a lot of weight.

Now Lu Yao's figure and face look a bit "emaciated", but this figure combined with Lu Yao's handsome face instead highlights a kind of cold, weak and morbid handsomeness.

Lu Yao returned to the outside of the Chinese Painting Museum and turned on the live broadcast equipment again.

Fans who had been waiting for several days rushed into the live broadcast room, and the first thing they saw when they saw Lu Yao was: "What? Why does it feel like this guy is handsome again? And he is handsome in a different way than before?"

The live broadcast room was filled with comments:
"It's not that your allergy is that serious, why do you look so gloomy and weak after the symptoms disappear?"

"Lv Yao. Sick Limited Edition."

Seeing the cordial greetings from netizens in the live broadcast room, Lv Yao smiled and said, "I have just recovered and I thought about starting a live broadcast for my brothers. Let's go! Let's go find Director Hu."

Lu Yao brought the live broadcast equipment to the room where Hu Xiaoyu often worked. When he pushed the door open, Hu Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "Why are you working when you haven't recovered yet? Go back and lie down!"

Hu Xiaoyu put down the work at hand and pushed Lu Yao back to rest.

But Lu Yao turned the camera to the side and whispered, "We don't have much time. I didn't expect the allergy to be so severe."

Looking at Lu Yao's persistent eyes, Hu Xiaoyu's heart was shaken, and finally he pursed his lips and compromised.

Lu Yao turned the camera back and said with a smile: "Director Hu, what good things are you going to show us today?"

Hu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Yao with a helpless and distressed look in his eyes: "Today I will show you a carving technique - hollow carving."

Hollow carving is not a special technique, but the hollow carving inherited in China is more complex and sophisticated in craftsmanship. Among them, the representative work is the ghost ball, a pure work of showmanship.

When the live broadcast work of the day was over, Rong Nianqing gathered several designers and finally finalized the first work they designed with all their efforts.

Rong Nianqing took the finalized drawings to find Hu Xiaoyu and Lu Yao from the Chinese Painting Museum. Lu Yao didn't know much about design, so it was mainly Rong Nianqing and Hu Xiaoyu who were communicating, while Lu Yaochun just watched the fun from the side.

Hu Xiaoyu looked at the design draft given by Rong Nianqing and nodded repeatedly.

Rong Nianqing designed a women's handbag. The front of the bag looks like an isosceles trapezoid. The overall shape is simple and modern. The buckle is a vertical oval lacquerware with a comfortable shape and proportion.

The entire bag is lined with woven ox horn, covered with brocade silk, with lacquerware as the buckle and a carved jade chain as the bag chain.

Although they are all Chinese style elements, the overall design of the bag is very modern, full of the beauty of simplicity, simplicity and proportion.

After Hu Xiaoyu carefully examined it many times, he asked, "Is the pattern on the white kesi a redesigned and spliced ​​Ruyi pattern?"

Rong Nianqing nodded and said, "Yes, the patterns on the white kesi can be made with light gold thread, which makes it more restrained."

After reading it, Hu Xiaoyu exclaimed: "Ms. Rong, the bag you designed has given traditional Chinese products a new look and vitality."

In the past, kesi silk was mostly gaudy. The more complex the patterns, the more expensive it was. The patterns were mostly designs such as dragons, phoenixes, peonies, and auspicious clouds. Although rich and luxurious, these patterns are no longer in line with modern aesthetics.

Even lacquerware is stuck in the rut of tradition and cannot escape it.

But now, Rong Nianqing has redesigned all these elements and integrated them into a modern product, which can be regarded as an exploration of the future direction of Chinese style intangible cultural heritage products.

Hu Xiaoyu put down the design draft and said, "But I feel that this plan is a bit too simple, a bit plain and a bit empty."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "In traditional Chinese painting, this kind of design idea should be called leaving blank space. A good design must have more room for imagination, so the positioning of this bag is a prototype and a blank canvas."

"We've put so much effort into creating this product that we're definitely not selling."

Whether it is the ox horn lining or the kesi mounting on the outside, they are too time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the later stage, we can launch Shu brocade, Song brocade and Yun brocade models based on this prototype.

Lv Yao, who was fiddling with a CCD camera, suddenly looked up and asked, "Ah? Then what will we auction at the brand launch?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Concept."

Lu Yao: “…”

It is said that Rong Nianqing is really good at business warfare.

On the day of the auction, no matter what price your item is sold for, it is actually not a big deal. But if a mere concept can be sold for a sky-high price, that would be very interesting.

Lu Yao said with high emotional intelligence: "As expected of President Rong, this is a very clever move."

"I'm looking forward to the expressions on people's faces at Xinbai Plaza."

Rong Nianqing sighed: "But the final effect will depend on Miss Hu's skills and your publicity."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "We will work hard."

Hu Xiaoyi: "."

She glanced at Lu Yao and said "we".

After getting Rong Nianqing's final draft, Lu Yao and Hu Xiaoyu started to work on their first product. For the next month, Lu Yao and Hu Xiaoyu were busy together.

The process of turning the design into reality is actually very cumbersome. In order to ensure success, Hu Xiaoyu first makes lacquerware every day, then makes kesi silk, and stays up late at night to make the ox horn weaving body.

The most difficult part of weaving the carcass with ox horn is actually the horn softening process, which took many years for a man named "Mr. Cheng" to reproduce.

In the end, Hu Xiaoyu was unable to make the chain for the bag, so he asked a master engraver from the National Gallery of Chinese Painting to do it.

Lu Yao’s daily job is to follow the filming crew and monitor the filming effects on site.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, and as day and night alternate, a hazy green gradually emerges on the branches inside the Chinese Painting Gallery, and the air gradually becomes as warm as the south of the Yangtze River.

Winter is over and spring is coming.

After more than a month of rush work, the first product designed jointly by Rong Nianqing and Hu Xiaoyu came out.

The material of this product is no longer limited to traditional leather. It is made of traditional Chinese elements such as kesi silk, lacquerware, and carved jade chains, and is presented to them in a design that conforms to modern simple aesthetics.

The combination of ancient craftsmanship and modern design brings out a new and bright aesthetic vitality.

This handmade product is now quietly placed on a lacquerware plate. A soft light falls on the bag, the warm jade chain reflects a soft reflection, and the kesi bag surface is radiant under the light... This is not an description.

It is a real and visible phenomenon, and the overflowing brilliance comes from the real silk and the light gold thread on it.

Although Lu Yao doesn't understand design, this bag exudes a luxurious temperament just by being placed here.

This temperament
Just like an ancient princess who, after being sealed for a hundred years, finally came out of the seal wearing modern clothes, the nobility of the ancient royal family and modern aesthetics are blended together, just like the last empress who took off her Qing Palace Manchu dress and put on modern clothes and makeup.

Lu Yao praised: "My intuition tells me that it will be a big hit."

Hu Xiaoyu also took a deep breath and said, "It was not until the finished product came out that I realized how attractive it was. It is already a work of art."

Rong Nianqing, the designer of this product, felt even more deeply. Endless emotions and words surged in her mind, but these surging things could not form a sentence.

Rong Nianqing stared at it for a long time before she said in the simplest words: "I won't sell it. One day we will have our own museum, and it will be kept there forever."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, make way. It's my work time now."

The filming crew came in and took all-round close-up shots of the product, making sure to show the luxury and artistry it contained.

After the filming was completed, Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing were ready to leave Hangzhou.

Lv Yao fiddled with the CCD camera while taking a video and said, "Let's take a group photo as a souvenir."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Okay."

They stood together and took a photo.

After taking the photos, Lu Yao handed the camera to Hu Xiaoyu: "This is for you. We won't have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Hu Xiaoyi: "."

She took the CCD camera and sent Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao away from the National Museum of Painting in a daze. After Rong Nianqing and their car drove away, Hu Xiaoyu returned to her workplace and exported the videos from the CCD camera.

In addition to the group photo that Lu Yao just took, this camera also contains many scattered videos that Lu Yao took in the past.

When a CCD camera is used for a long time, the CMOS will generate heat due to the variable current, causing noise and forming a picture with more noise.

It stands to reason that professional photographers should avoid such operations, but Lu Yao did not do so, which resulted in the video he shot having a lot of noise and the picture quality appeared old, as if the video was shot many years ago.

Plus Lu Yao's casual shots, shaking images, and occasional interludes of their chats
When these scenes came upon her in the quiet room, a feeling of "Memoirs of a Dead Husband" came over her like a tidal wave, causing Hu Xiaoyu's emotions to begin to spread uncontrollably...
