Li Mengying said urgently, "Listen up, everyone! Nobody is allowed to talk about this or discuss it, understand?"
"Yes, yes, we know, Manager Li." Everyone nodded vigorously.
"What are you talking about? Is there some big news?"
As Xu Linwei walked toward the office, she asked with a smile.
"Nothing, just gossiping," the employees said with forced smiles.
Li Mengying went to greet her.
"Mr. Xu, did you... see the news just now?"
"What news? Not yet."
Xu Linwei said, reaching out to open the office door.
Li Mengying breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, Zhao Ling'er's fan meeting in Yun Chuan next month, did you know that?"
She quickly made an excuse to change the subject.
Mr. Xu is unaware of this yet. Great, that matter has already been suppressed online.
She prayed in her heart that the man was not Mr. Chen.
"I know about this. What? You're her fans? Can you contact her and ask her to be our spokesperson?"
Xu Linwei said with a smile.
"Hehe, we don't have that capability. Mr. Xu, you're busy, I'm going to work now."
Li Mengying chuckled twice, then turned and left.
Xu Linwei led the girl with the high ponytail into the office, and they each took their seats.
"Ms. Shen, I've taken a look at your proposal, and it's quite meaningful. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xu Linwei said.
Shen Youyi, with a bright, sunny smile, said:
"Mr. Xu, we hope you can invest some funds in us to promote Hanfu."
Xu Linwei smiled slightly.
"I have seen Ms. Shen's videos. She is very beautiful, elegant and cultured."
But if I may be frank, Hanfu can only remain within a small cultural circle and is not suitable for ordinary people to live in. Its aesthetic does not conform to the trends of the times.
It doesn't have much commercial significance.
"Mr. Xu is absolutely right, that's certainly the case at present, but we have our own ideas."
Shen Youyi showed no sign of frustration despite being rejected; her eyes were full of confidence.
Xu Linwei looked at Shen Youyi.
"I'd like to hear Miss Shen's opinion."
Shen Youyi said, "So-called aesthetic trends do not exist naturally, but are created by humans."
Current aesthetic trends are standards created by a series of cultural, film, and entertainment activities. These standards do not represent correctness, nor do they necessarily indicate the direction of the future.
She paused for a moment and continued, "Now that China is becoming increasingly powerful, it is only a matter of time before Chinese culture goes global."
Therefore, our culture needs a highly representative symbol, and clothing and cultural relics are undoubtedly the best symbol.
What we need to do is uphold the spirit and essence of traditional Chinese clothing, and then make improvements to suit people's work and lives today. Therefore, it is not without commercial value.
Here are some costumes designed by our team for various scenes. Please take a look, Mr. Xu.
After she finished speaking, she handed over a tablet, opened the pictures and videos on it, and pointed them out to Xu Linwei.
Xu Linwei swiped the screen, looking at the exquisitely designed clothes, and the smile on her face grew wider and wider.
Actually, she doesn't know much about traditional Chinese culture, but she feels a natural sense of pleasure just by looking at these clothes.
I don't know why.
"Miss Shen, what do you think are the differences between the aesthetics of traditional Chinese clothing and modern mainstream aesthetics?"
Well...
Shen Youyi's eyes sparkled as she said,
"Chinese clothing and attire have both educational and edifying functions. Their beauty is understated and subtle, revealing the elegance of the culture."
Modern popular aesthetics emphasize individuality, freedom, and self-expression. Frankly, in my opinion, it primarily highlights primal appeal and lacks humanistic depth.
"Oh?"
Xu Linwei looked up at Shen Youyi, becoming increasingly interested in the little girl.
She understood that what Shen Youyi meant by "primitive" was that many modern clothing aesthetics emphasize "sexual" attraction.
It goes against the very direction of traditional Chinese clothing and customs.
Her line of thinking makes a lot of sense.
As China grows stronger, it is inevitable that its culture will spread abroad, and there will inevitably be a cultural symbol.
Chinese clothing and aesthetics may indeed be a future trend.
She looked at Shen Youyi and said with a smile:
"You're absolutely right, societal aesthetics are indeed cultivated."
However, to reverse the aesthetics of an era and reshape an aesthetic era is incredibly difficult.
"I know it's difficult, but this path is meaningful!"
Shen Youyi looked at Xu Linwei with unwavering determination in her eyes.
Xu Linwei pondered for a moment, then said:
"My husband is more knowledgeable than I am about traditional culture."
Okay, he'll be going back to Jiangning tomorrow. You can come over then and tell him your thoughts, so he can decide whether or not to sponsor you.
Shen Youyi was overjoyed: "President Xu, thank you so much. I will definitely make your husband happy."
"Okay, you can go back now," Xu Linwei said.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, goodbye."
Shen Youyi put away her tablet and turned to leave.
"Miss Shen!"
Xu Linwei suddenly called out to her.
Shen Youyi turned around: "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Linwei twirled a fountain pen in her hand, rhythmically tapping it on the table.
"My husband and I are getting married soon, and we'd like to emulate the style of a Ming Dynasty princess. You have expertise in traditional clothing, so how about you designing my wedding attire?"
Ah!
Shen Youyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Xu. My team and I are willing to do our best to ensure Mr. Xu's satisfaction."
"Okay, you guys go and do it. Bring the design over for my husband and me to take a look. I'll transfer some funds to you later."
Xu Linwei said.
Shen Youyi bowed repeatedly, overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. We'll finish the design as soon as possible and send it over immediately."
Xu Linwei watched Shen Youyi walk out of the office with a faint smile on her face.
If Ms. Shen's project succeeds, it will truly be a groundbreaking undertaking.
However, this was too difficult, and she wasn't sure what to do. She decided to wait for her husband to come back and ask for his opinion.
……
That evening, Chen Yi took Xu Xiao to the state guesthouse.
At this moment, outside the state guesthouse, cars streamed like a tide and people thronged.
Tonight's celebration banquet has been attended not only by the Special Investigation Bureau, but also by many prominent figures in Beijing.
A black sedan stopped, and a young man and a young woman got out.
The girl exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, this is my first time attending a state banquet! There must be lots of delicious food!"
The young man glanced at his sister, speechless.
"All you care about is food. Is eating even that important for this occasion?"
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Ye?"
Just then, a defiant voice rang out.
Ye Cheng turned around, his brows furrowing slightly...
