Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

the next day.

10:00 AM.

Cho Eun-kyung's studio.

Jiang Xingchen arrived at the agreed time.

When they met, Zhao Enjing gave him a good look.

Without him.

That was the first time we met here.

Although Park Jiyeon brought him along, Park Hyomin's tone suggested that he was somewhat unreliable.

The Newtro concept, which was introduced later, is a new retro style.

That's a story for another time.

As for Park Hyo-min wearing his design, it was unexpected that she would attract so much attention on the main day of Seoul Fashion Week.

As expected, it should be one of those things that gets some attention, but not a very high level.

In the following days... there was even more news.

"Designer Zhao, if you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to get embarrassed."

Jiang Xingchen, who stood there letting her look him over, saw that she seemed unable to stop for a while, so he smiled and said something.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Enjing was not embarrassed at all.

"There's nothing we can do, Hyomin and Jiyeon are just too popular these days."

"That's because their strength is undeniable; I just added some embellishments."

"They haven't arrived yet, Consultant Jiang, you're speaking too soon!"

"Hahaha..."

A simple joke made Jiang Xingchen burst into laughter, and then she followed Zhao Enjing into her studio.

There are only two arrangements for today's visit.

One reason is that he had previously asked Park Hyo-min to put in a good word for him – if Banana Culture Entertainment were to take on the costume design and production work for EXID's comeback, he wanted to collaborate with Cho Eun-kyung to handle it.

After all, he doesn't have many resources at hand right now.

This happened to be an acquaintance of Park Hyo-min.

Profit sharing is negotiable.

"Then I must thank Consultant Jiang."

I already knew about this, and the fact that Jiang Xingchen took the initiative to come to my door now means that the business deal has been finalized.

I just don't know how many sets of clothes I need to order.

"Five sets per person!"

Jiang Xingchen raised one hand, her five fingers spread open.

Five sets per person, so four people would have twenty sets.

Zhao Enjing raised an eyebrow.

She was no novice; once she understood that it was "five sets per person," she quickly calculated the cost of her return to the stage.

It's also understandable that Banana Culture Entertainment places great importance on the four EXID members for this comeback.

Not to mention Jiang Xingchen's designer concept planning fee.

The cost of customizing those twenty garments alone was already quite substantial.

"We need to make money as soon as possible, otherwise the company won't even have a decent place to operate."

Listening to her teasing, Jiang Xingchen thought of yesterday at the company in Wangyuandong, when Park Jiyeon wanted to find a mirror for Park Hyomin but couldn't find one.

If we don't find another place... it would really be a shame to let down Park Jiyeon, who provided a lot of funding.

"Is the current venue really that bad?"

It's not that it's bad.

"Then..."

"Ani, let me finish... it's actually terrible."

"That?"

"The lease is almost up, and the location isn't very good, so we haven't renovated it."

"Understood..."

A house that needs renovation is essentially a useless house.

Aside from spending money, they won't do anything else.

After understanding the meaning, Zhao Enjing stopped asking about the details and instead inquired about the design concept for this comeback.

"Based on the currently popular Girl Crush style, we further amplify it and complement it with the new trend of female independence and self-confidence promoted in today's society."

"Alpha Woman"

"You can take a look at this simple PowerPoint presentation first."

As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen took out his tablet from his bag, unlocked it, and handed it over.

Zhao Enjing accepted it with some skepticism.

The next second, he let out a soft gasp.

The striking red and blue color scheme of the background instantly catches the eye.

Regarding the fashion choices of Ahn Hee-yeon and others.

The oversized, wide-cut suit, paired with a sexy strapless top underneath, perfectly blends the two concepts.

"Daebak, what's Advisor Kang's idea..."

After carefully looking through it for a while, Zhao Enjing looked up at Jiang Xingchen, intending to offer another word of praise.

Just as he was halfway through his sentence...

Behind the two, Park Hyo-min's voice came from the studio door.

Turning around, I saw her leaning against the door frame, dressed in a stylish outfit.

The only slightly mismatched element was the several oversized bags she was carrying.

The bag contained a preliminary selection of clothes and pants that she thought would suit her, based on the sunglasses she wore yesterday and the simple styling Jiang Xingchen had done for her.

shoe...

I couldn't carry any more, so I didn't bring them.

Who takes photos of their feet?

right!

Just as she pushed the door open and came in, she overheard what Zhao Enjing was saying to Jiang Xingchen, and asked out of curiosity.

"Eun-kyung unnie, what's Advisor Kang's opinion?"

"It doesn't mean much, I just think he's really smart, he can come up with so many ideas," Zhao Enjing waved her hand and explained softly, then paused slightly and looked at Park Hyomin.

"It's only because you guys haven't made a comeback recently, otherwise, given the situation these past few days, you'd be dominating the trending topics!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Park Hyo-min walked into the house with a smile and casually put the bag aside.

Then I noticed the tablet in Zhao Enjing's hand, and immediately saw the highly saturated red and blue background on it.

"Is this the outfit designed for the EXID group?"

"Inside..."

"May I take a look?"

"You're being so well-behaved now, but back when we were filming at Eun-jung's place, you didn't seem to mind at all when I was drawing pictures."

"Really? I forgot..."

"whispering sound..."

Jiang Xingchen pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She got up to make room and walked towards the bar area in the studio cubicle. "Would you like something to drink?"

"I want coffee!"

"Water... I'll do it!"

Following Park Hyomin's tone, Zhao Eun-kyung paused as she told her what she wanted to drink, then stood up with a slight smile, "It feels weird to have Consultant Kang pour me water in my studio."

"That would be too much trouble. Just give me a glass of water."

"Of course."

"Hyomin, may I take a look at the clothes you brought?"

While Zhao Enjing went to get water, Jiang Xingchen walked towards the bags of clothes that Park Hyomin had brought. Just as she was about to open them, she suddenly turned around and asked a question.

"Do you think I would put any underwear in there?"

Park Hyo-min didn't even turn her head, speaking nonchalantly.

She had no intention of taking boudoir photos.

Therefore, there is absolutely no way there could be any inconvenient clothing inside.

So, feel free to browse.

It's best to wait until she's finished appreciating the design drafts before moving on to the next step.

A true time management expert!

With her words, Jiang Xingchen felt much more at ease.

I quickly opened the bag, ready to take out all the clothes inside and take a look.

But after opening it, I found that it seemed a little messy?

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I kept taking it off and putting it back on.

It's bound to get messed up eventually.

So he just grabbed it all at once.

I took out several items at once.

Just as I raised my hand, I vaguely felt that some of the clothes I was holding had slipped out of my grasp and fallen out.

I instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

"As expected of me..."

Feeling confident in his agility, he smiled and praised himself.

Then he raised his hand to see what kind of clothes they were.

The smile on his face froze instantly.

What a huge face mask.

Coincidentally.

The studio door was opened from the outside.

"Hey, Jiang Xingchen, what are you holding?"

......
