The Silent Bombardment - Bonus Chapter for "Blow Off Underpants Is Yasuo," Alliance Leader, 22
The models wore very special outfits, and everyone was very professional and excited because they knew they would be the highlight of this Fashion Week.
If nothing unexpected happens and they're lucky enough, they'll constantly appear in the color pages of various fashion magazines, all because of the clothes they wear.
It is normal that people will continue to hunt animals and wear their beautiful furs, both in the past, present, and future.
But today is different. Various fabrics with animal fur patterns, along with accessories and feathers worn by the models to complement the theme, give each model a unique wildness from head to toe.
True wildness, that untamed and unruly wildness!
Her unique charisma immediately captured people's attention, and the spotlights began to flash wildly, turning the stage into a silvery white expanse.
People screamed for designs that were bolder than bold, more trendy than trendy, and wilder than wild! The adrenaline rush quickly brought the atmosphere of the show to a climax, and a brand new style was born! A model dressed as a spotted leopard walked past the two people. She was also decorated with body paint. Leopard print combined with body paint, some brightly colored feathers, and that fluffy tail, she firmly attracted people's attention from the moment she appeared.
Naturally, Sai Weiruila's attention was also on her.
"Lin Qi, those tails... are they sewn onto the clothes?" Sai Weiruila asked curiously, looking at the newly introduced animal-shaped models. "They seem to be fixed in a special way. They don't move around randomly as the models walk, but they have a very rhythmic quality, just like they're really growing on people's bodies!"
People have had similar designs before—tutu skirts—but they discovered that if they wanted tutu skirts to be as beautiful as people imagined, they had to add a new frame to fully expand them.
However, people then discovered an awkward problem: the tutu with a frame would constantly spin back and forth as the wearer moved.
Although the rotation is not large, it will fall down, it will slide down little by little, causing the entire dress and the tutu to deform over time as it is worn, which is really unsightly.
To avoid this problem, the tutu must be given more frame and support, which makes wearing it more than just suffering.
But when the girl looked at the tail that didn't move around with the short skirt, yet rhythmically moved with the model's steps, her curiosity was piqued.
The tail didn't seem to have encountered these problems. Based on her understanding of clothing—she had her own brand, although it wasn't very famous—she still knew that if the tail were sewn onto the skirt, its movement wouldn't be as pleasing to the eye, and it would also deform the skirt.
She is very interested in the design elements, and perhaps she can apply them to her own brand of clothing. It is foreseeable that this may become a trend in the second half of the year and even next year, and she wants to seize this trend!
"You'd better not know..." Lin Qi glanced at her, smiling as if he were fooling a child, "There's nothing special about it."
Some people are like that; the more you try to keep something from them, the more they feel the need to know.
After emphasizing twice that he had the right to know, Lin Qi whispered some of the secrets in her ear.
Whether it was the breath he exhaled as he spoke softly that made the girl's ears feel hot, or the content he was saying was really not very vulgar, the girl's ears turned red, and the blush was spreading to her cheeks.
She glared at Lin Qi and muttered "vulgar" under her breath.
Lin Qi turned to the other invitee sitting next to him and asked, "Am I vulgar?"
The person he was questioning was a lady, a very well-dressed lady. She looked Lin Qi up and down, her gaze lingering on his handsome face for a moment, before she smiled and shook her head, saying, "Of course not, Mr. Lin Qi."
"Thank you!" Lin Qi smiled and nodded, then looked at the girl. "See, you were wrong!"
The minor "playful fight" did not affect the presentation of the design style and concept; in fact, it can be said to have been a great success. Moreover, some stunning designs will be showcased at the upcoming autumn/winter launch event.
But for now, that's enough.
The next day, almost every newspaper, magazine, and program related to fashion reported on this unique stage show. People in this era are easily amazed, which is also their greatest happiness, because they live in surprises every day.
The unique style ignited the fashion world. In an interview with the chief designer the following day, the chief designer talked about the source of inspiration for these designs— Mr. Lin Qi.
"I want to thank Mr. Lin Qi for his help. Actually, I refused at first because Mr. Lin Qi had not shown any extraordinary talent in this area, nor had he achieved anything."
"I need to apologize to Mr. Lin Qi first. I even thought he was arrogant because of his youth, but the facts have proven me wrong."
"Some people are born with talents that others don't have. Mr. Lin Qi is such a person. He is full of wisdom and charm. When I discussed things with him, I felt as ignorant as a student!"
The designer kept praising Lin Qi, to the point that some reporters prompted him to address the issue.
The lead designer then came to his senses and continued to boast, "While we were still struggling with the theme for the commemorative Fashion Week, Mr. Lin Qi came to me and asked me a question, 'Hey, what do you think of my adventure?'"
"I said 'Great, it's new and exciting,' and those were my honest thoughts."
"Then Mr. Lin Qi asked me, 'Why not combine fashion with adventure and nature?'"
"And so, all that you see comes to be..."
"Wild animals, nature, the most primal beauty, the beauty of nature itself—that is true beauty, the work of God!"
"The beauty that is unadorned is the highest form of beauty. We cannot achieve it, but we can learn from it and imitate it..."
There are reasons for acquiring a stake in this brand and providing them with design inspiration, and so far the results have been very good, with some low-end brands even starting to follow suit.
Developing Nagaril is not a simple task, nor can it be accomplished by one or two people or one or two companies; it requires the enthusiasm of the entire society.
The more people are willing to go to Nagaril, the higher the status and importance of the Federal People in Nagaril society will be, and only then can Nagaril society be gradually changed.
The Nagaril People started by speaking Common Language with a distinctive Federal accent. Then they used Federal Sol as currency for purchasing goods in their daily lives. They began to make limited friends with Federal people and gradually accepted Federal culture.
It might not work in the short term, but in three to five years, or seven or eight years, when the younger generation of Nagaril People grows up, they will overlook many things and become "one of us".
They say it has Common Language with a Federal accent, many Federal friends, books from the Federal, songs from the Federal, and movies from the Federal.
Apart from their bloodline, they were practically a Federal citizen.
By then, it won't matter who is who; what matters is that everyone is on our side.
But this requires someone to do it and get it done. The best way is to influence the Federal people from all aspects and inspire their enthusiasm.
Fashion is a great choice. Young people love to pursue fashionable things. They not only pursue them, but also delve into their understanding, studying fashion and the things behind it with more seriousness than they do with their studies.
If we were to reduce all of this to a single sentence, or even a single word, it would be influence.
Lin Qi is creating influence, spreading influence, and influencing more people.
After the Last Day Fashion Week, Lin Qi and Sai Weiruila parted ways and took the train back to Bu Peien. The reason for their separation was that the butler believed that if Sai Weiruila continued to stay with Lin Qi, she might lose her most precious possession.
Although for many people that thing is not as valuable as people imagine, and some girls are even ashamed to own it after they grow up.
However, at Wo Delike's insistence, Sai Weiruila still had to leave by train overnight in a rather disheveled state.
When Lin Qi returned to Bu Peien by train the next day after a long journey, the third round of negotiations with the Nagaril delegation had just ended.
"They agreed to two of your requests, but not the third!"
Upon returning to Bu Peien, Lin Qi immediately immersed himself in his busy work. He had previously presented Drag with three conditions. The first two did not infringe upon the core interests of Drag or others, and they all agreed to them. However, the third condition—that Federal Sol become the circulating currency of the Nagaril United Kingdom —was rejected by them.
"They didn't give many reasons, but they kept sticking to this point and wouldn't budge..."
Lin Qi flipped through some meeting minutes while listening to Mr. Truman's narration, and he gradually came to understand some of the delegation's ideas.
After he finished reviewing the minutes, he closed them and looked at Truman. "We'll take a step back and make them take a step back too. We can drop the demand that the Federal Sol be the official legal tender, but the authorities must acknowledge its legitimate nature as the circulating currency."
This sounds like a tongue twister, but it's definitely not that simple. Every word in this level of negotiation is extremely important.
