Can following the rules be called rebirth?

"one two three four"

"Follow the beat, yes~"

In the dance studio of Jieyou Media, a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror reflects several graceful figures.

The tall girl standing at the front teaching is Du Jianuo.

Sweat soaked the stray hairs on her forehead, and her tight-fitting rose-red training uniform, with its neckline adorned with specks of white, almost completely blocked the view.

It's so sexy it's suffocating.

Right now, she's in front of the mirror, patiently teaching the other female anchors in the company how to dance.

A simple jazz choreography with a touch of urban elements.

"You need to move your wrists!"

She stood in the center, jumping and pointing out everyone's movements.

Every fixed point, every wave, is brimming with a vibrant and dazzling vitality.

"Five, six, seven, eight~"

The music stopped abruptly.

Du Jianuo let out a long sigh, stopped moving, and breathed slightly out of breath. She picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from her head.

"I can't take it anymore, damn it."

The person closest to the dance teacher was Qi Baitao, who was asking to learn to dance for the first time.

When she first entered the dance studio, she hopped in like a little rabbit, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

Now, she was sprawled on the mat, panting heavily, her enormous 36E breasts swaying back and forth with her breathing.

"You dance so effortlessly, why do I feel so tired when I dance?"

Qu Yue next to her was no exception, leaning most of her body against the pole, holding her phone and scrolling through videos, letting the beads of sweat on her fair neck fall freely.

"You two are really... noobs."

Only Chen Ke, a physical education student, might be able to keep up with Du Jianuo's pace.

This national second-level athlete remained calm and composed, with only a healthy flush on his cheeks and a gentle smile on his lips.

"They insisted on dragging me to learn a popular dance, but I complained about how hard and tiring it was halfway through."

Who knew this dance would be so hard to learn?

Qi Baitao couldn't help but complain, her cherry lips pouting slightly.

"Holy crap! It seems like fan fiction is going viral again!"

While everyone was resting on the ground, Qu Yue suddenly sat up straight, her eyes wide with surprise, and frantically shook the phone screen in her hand.

"Bilibili actually featured Nono on their homepage?"

"I've never seen anything like this before! It's not the biting cat dancing to otaku music that's making it to the front page!"

"My goodness, it hasn't been that long, and the number of views is almost 300,000!"

"real or fake?"

Several girls gathered around.

"I rely on!"

"Isn't the 'Queen of Relief' really something?"

"Nono, look!!!"

"."

Du Jianuo had just taken a big gulp of water, smiled, and glanced at the phone.

On the screen was a recording of her dancing live last night.

[Next up is Jolin Tsai's latest song – "Play"!]

Next came the much-anticipated presentation segment.

Douyu's top dancer, dressed in a sequined crop top and hot pants, swayed to a highly rhythmic tune with clean, crisp movements and an unparalleled allure in her eyes and brows.

The barrage of comments was dense.

[Uno teacher is killing me!]

[Are those waist, legs, and proportions even real?]

[After a long day at work, I finally managed to recover my losses at 6610. I want to cry.]

The special effects for giving rewards were endless, with rockets and airplanes flashing so much that the screen lagged.

"Wow, it actually exploded?"

Compared to the other women in the small group, Du Jianuo handed the phone back to Qu Yue, her tone sounding much calmer.

There was joy, but more pressure.

Her current mindset and status are completely different from before.

With her solid dance skills and approachable interactive style, uno-chan rose from an unknown streamer to a top influencer in Douyu's dance section in less than six months.

As early as yesterday, when she was dancing to this song, she noticed a significantly higher proportion of gifts than usual and had a premonition.

It wasn't until the fan-made content from Jieyou Media was officially edited and uploaded to major video websites that it began to slowly gain traction.

"Play" is a new song that Jolin Tsai released on November 15th.

It became an instant hit as soon as it was released.

Unlike the well-structured rhythms produced on the assembly line of contemporary Chinese dance music, this song uses the irregular, loose beats of the snare drum to build the entire song, presenting a playful and avant-garde feel that blends Chinese and Western elements.

The most avant-garde music style, the most appropriate choreography, and the most dazzling dancers.

With the company's support, it quickly swept across several major video platforms.

"It's more than just videos!"

Qu Yue followed behind Du Jianuo, chattering away and gossiping.

"I heard that several brands have approached Nono to discuss cooperation!"

"The company has already rejected them many times."

Qi Baitao blinked.

"This time is different!"

Qu Yue raised her voice: "This isn't a small-scale sample trial; it's real money-driven sales!"

"Alright. It's all still up in the air. Are you guys still going to learn or not?"

Du Jianuo stood up with a smile, just about to continue practicing, when the sound of high heels at the door caught her attention.

"Nono~"

The side door of the practice room was pushed open, and a familiar face peeked out, waving at Du Jianuo.

It was He Min, dressed in a formal suit.

Did I disturb your dance practice?

"No, no. We're all resting."

Du Jianuo shook his head.

"Okay, wipe your sweat and come upstairs for a meeting. Let's talk about business."

He Min smiled and pointed in the direction of Zhou Mingyuan's office.

As soon as she finished speaking, the other women from Jieyou Media immediately realized what was going on and exchanged glances.

They all saw envy in each other's eyes.

This is far from being a matter of not even beginning.
It's clearly a done deal!
"That's the situation."

“Aside from those peripheral esports manufacturers that you vetoed, we haven’t taken on any gaming projects either. Now, finally, a business partner with a similar vibe has come knocking on our door.”

"Hard work pays off, thanks to Nono's recent hard work in live streaming!"

He Min smiled and made a cheering gesture.

"One is a sports setting spray called Moya; another sells low-calorie collagen jelly energy pellets; and the third is a Taobao store that makes yoga pants."

In the boss's office on the top floor, He Min had printed out the materials early and handed them to Zhou Mingyuan and Du Jianuo respectively.

"The information of the three brands that have expressed their intention to cooperate has been compiled. This is a preliminary assessment."

"Why don't you share your thoughts?"

Zhou Mingyuan, dressed in a well-tailored dark gray shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, sat behind a large desk. The office was full of his own people, and the small meetings were conducted in a very casual manner.

The man tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he looked at He Min.

"Well, I've done some research on the main products of these companies."

He Min pushed up her glasses and got straight to the point.

"From a risk-reward perspective, I prefer setting spray."

"The unit price of the product is relatively low, only 89 yuan."

"The live stream demonstration is simple; all you need to do is touch up your makeup with a couple of sprays."

"."

Zhou Mingyuan remained silent.

He picked up the information on the setting spray and quickly flipped through it, then picked up Du Jianuo's live stream data report next to him.

"What about the next one?"

"."

He Min frowned slightly, cleared her throat, and continued to look at the materials in front of her.

Since the boss spoke in this tone, he must not be very satisfied with the setting spray.

"Collagen jelly, a low-calorie snack, focuses on health and beauty, which matches Nono's energetic and healthy image very well."

"The commission is 20%, and exclusive coupons are also offered. You can eat while dancing in the live stream, which fits the scene perfectly."

"This product category won't work."

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head and simply interrupted He Min's speech, vetoing it.

"Health foods, especially oral beauty products, have strict qualification reviews and a high risk of complaints."

"Selling beef cubes instead of pork—aren't there many similar cases of product failures?"

“If something goes wrong, Nono will be the first to be affected, and her hard-earned popularity will also be damaged.”

"The risk is too great."

"I think we should choose yoga pants."

Finally, the man smiled and turned to the last few pages of the document.

This is a newly established domestic brand called MAIA ACTIVE.

"Fans' demand for clothing products is explicit."

Zhou Mingyuan put down the documents, leaned forward slightly, and crossed his arms.

"Although yoga pants may seem like a niche item, they are the most natural extension of exercise."

"Nuonuo puts it on, dances in the live stream, does a high knee, a squat, a split, and doesn't need to say anything else."

"The product's elasticity, support, and comfort are immediately apparent to the audience."

"This is the most persuasive advertisement to begin with."

"."

He Min sat on the edge of the sofa, holding a folder, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"But."

The girl's big eyes were full of confusion: "MAIA ACTIVE is a new brand, and yoga pants currently have relatively low market awareness."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand, a smile curving his lips, his tone extremely confident.

"Risks and opportunities coexist."

In fact, if it were anyone else, they really wouldn't dare to bet on an unfamiliar product like Zhou Mingyuan did with Du Jianuo's first business promotion.

Yoga pants?
What are yoga pants?
At present, apart from a group of trend-conscious girls, there are probably quite a few people who know nothing about this term.

Will this product actually sell if it's promoted in the 6610 live stream room?
Not only was He Min indecisive, placing MAIA ACTIVE on the last page, but even the business partners she was negotiating with lacked confidence in their pricing.

Perhaps only Zhou Mingyuan has such vision and confidence.

Because he's essentially cheating, having lived two lives, he knows everything about the most popular products for the next ten or even twenty years.

This is Zhou Mingyuan's greatest asset in his business dealings.

In later generations, yoga pants have become more than just a popular everyday garment; they have even been cleverly used by many bloggers as a literary reference to a certain type of woman.

Even more outrageous, some review sections have created a special daily competition column just for yoga pants.

It's just as sexy as stockings!

This in itself demonstrates the enormous influence of yoga pants in the minds of the people.

Take Lululemon, for example, which later became popular throughout China and is known as one of the three essential items for the middle class.

Starting a few months later in 2015, Lululemon began its rapid expansion worldwide.

From a simple pair of yoga pants, it has evolved into a series of products encompassing a wide range of categories, including sports bras, vests, skirts, dresses, shorts, and wide-leg pants. It has profoundly influenced Chinese women's attitudes toward clothing, exercise, health, and self-awareness, and is quietly rewriting their lifestyles.

Industry insiders believe that yoga pants have accurately caught the wave of the domestic health and fitness trend.

At the same time, starting with the product fabric, the design solved the pain points of traditional products, and the brand positioning and community marketing drove the growth of performance, which in turn influenced many women and broke the boundaries between traditional sportswear and everyday wear.

As more and more bloggers and KOLs speak out, girls are starting to confidently wear yoga pants out of sports venues and into various settings such as streets, cafes, and offices.

Wearing yoga pants as outerwear has gradually evolved from a niche experiment into a widely accepted fashion trend.

"But to be honest, I personally think that yoga pants are really effective for exercise."

"Especially from the perspective of dancing and promotion in the live broadcast room, it should be great."

Du Jianuo remained silent throughout the discussion about business options between the two.

Seeing the office fall silent, the senior student also shared her opinion.

"Also, wearing this sportswear is very comfortable. From my own experience, I would prefer to wear it."

"By combining comfort and aesthetics, who says this product isn't awesome or has low market recognition?"

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead and chat, chat freely and boldly, maybe we can create another hit product in the clothing category."

"how could it be possible."

He Min whispered, "This store hasn't been open for long."

"What if?"

Why are yoga pants so popular?
Being pretty is, of course, the most important thing for girls.

There was once a trending topic that remained high on the list for a long time.

—Can yoga pants be worn as outerwear?

It trended on social media and sparked a massive discussion that garnered a staggering 5.2 million views.

Wearing yoga pants on the street has gradually become a fashion symbol for women to express themselves and show their individuality.

Aesthetics are secondary; comfort is the next most important factor.

Yoga pants, through the ultimate optimization of fabric and tailoring, have achieved a qualitative leap from restriction to freedom.

Many consumers believe that yoga pants offer women a new way to express themselves, freeing them from the constraints of traditional tight clothing and allowing them to more freely showcase their body lines and movement.

You won't know how comfortable it is until you try it on!

This is the thought process of most girls after trying it.

"All right."

He Min bit her lip and, after some thought, quickly accepted Zhou Mingyuan and Du Jianuo's suggestion.

Judging from the current live stream traffic of Douyu's top dancer, it's highly likely that she'll just need to switch to the samples provided by the store, perform a few dances, mention a few keywords, and finally add a link.

Reaching the sales target shouldn't be too difficult, right?
"Then I'll contact them and find a time to come to the company to talk?"

He Min stood up and put away the thick stack of materials one by one.

"Okay, you can arrange the time, and this task will be assigned to you."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded in agreement.
