Chapter 157 Not Enough Stores
No, his face should have been red by now, what has he been doing all these years?
"No, I need to find you a professional celebrity makeup artist."
That afternoon, Wen Yao invited Jin Yuan, a makeup artist she knew well, to the company.
They offered her a high price to sign her to Sapphire Entertainment.
"Jin Yuan, you can design whatever you like for him. However, in a few days, you need to have him wear the newly released gold-inlaid jade pendant for photoshoots and promotions."
Jin Yuan nodded, then stared intently at his face.
Everyone at Wenyao Group has been quite busy lately.
After her annual leave ended, Wen Yao threw herself into her work, and the atmosphere in the company was excellent.
"Young Miss, it's done."
Tang Zhen showed Wen Yao five different styles of gold-inlaid jade.
"The designer created a total of five styles, of which this style is a special offer, and these four are our main styles. Do you think we should use all four styles, or just pick one?"
Although these four have different styles, they all share the same element: a snake-shaped gold inlay with jade.
They were all so lifelike that Wen Yao couldn't choose a single one.
"Let's use them all, since we're all using different kinds of jade anyway."
Tang Zhen nodded.
These four are the main styles.
Soon, Tang Zhen sent the blueprints to the factory, and the factory began work.
Four samples were completed that very evening.
Wen Yao chose her favorite design—a golden snake with a glass-type jade safety buckle threaded through its body.
"This one looks good, so it's mine."
Wen Yao wore it around her neck, took a picture, and then uploaded it to her account.
The feedback in the comments section was also very positive.
Everyone with sharp eyes spotted the pendant.
"Hey rich girl, where can I buy this style of necklace?"
"Rich girls must buy all designer brands; how could ordinary people like us possibly afford them?"
"Have you all forgotten? Sister Fu is the owner of Ming Cui Fang, this must be a Ming Cui Fang style."
“Isn’t Mingcuifang a place that sells jadeite? I haven’t seen any gold-inlaid jade.”
"I think it's most likely Ming Cui Fang. I just found their official website today, and they said they'd have a New Year collection coming up soon!"
Wen Yao only made a slight move, but she already whetted everyone's appetite.
"Hmm! I'm very satisfied with this comments section!"
However, most of the buyers at Ming Cui Fang are women, so they still need to choose a female spokesperson.
Moreover, one must have an excellent appearance and temperament.
The first person Wen Yao thought of was Zhou Nianwan, who was one of her only two connections in the entertainment industry.
While thinking about it, Wen Yao sent a WeChat message to Zhou Nianwan.
Zhou Nianwan replied almost instantly.
"Sister Wen Yao, thank you for thinking so highly of me. Of course I'm willing to be the spokesperson for Ming Cui Fang. It's also a way for me to ride on their popularity."
Zhou Nianwan is young but has a sweet tongue.
Immediately, Wen Yao had the people from Mingcuifang prepare a contract.
Three days later, "Uncontrollable Tenderness" was about to be released.
Zhou Nianwan took some time to take a few photos of Jin Xiangyu.
"Sister Wenyao, is this the necklace you posted in the photos online? I saw it back then and was wondering where you bought it?"
The necklace was already on Zhou Nianwan's neck.
She was quite young, so the staff specially picked out a piece of purple jade for her to wear.
"If you like it, you can take it home right after the shoot."
This piece is worth quite a bit of money.
Zhou Nianwan and Xu Si'an both finished filming that day.
Zhou Nianwan's photo was directly placed on the official website cover.
With Zhou Nianwan's good looks holding up the photo, it went viral on various platforms.
The same plastic version has even appeared on Taobao.
The official team has been releasing more and more photos of Xu Si'an during the shoot.
Jin Yuan specially changed Xu Si'an's image.
"Is this little puppy a model from Mingcui Fang? He's so handsome!"
"Sister, this is actor Xu Si'an. You can follow him on Weibo if you're interested."
"..."
There's no other way; Xu Si'an isn't popular enough, so we can only let him ride on her coattails.
"I see that everyone's response is quite good, so we can post our event online now."
The staff at Ming Cui Fang sent the prepared copy online.
This event was quite large-scale, and the Golden Jade Serpent design was exquisite, so it generated considerable discussion online.
Wen Yao was extremely satisfied with the data.
"Alright, everyone can go home now."
After saying that, Wen Yao took her bag, went downstairs, and drove home.
She's been quite busy with work these past few days, staying up late and getting up early every day, just waiting to see how the gold-inlaid jade sells tomorrow.
The next morning, Wen Yao drove to work with Tang Zhen, and she deliberately took a detour to check on the situation at the Mingcuifang store.
Mingcuifang mainly sells jadeite. The Taobao store only offers discounted items at the same price. To buy other items online, you have to go to their live stream.
"Young Miss, look, this street is completely blocked."
Tang Zhen pointed to the long line of people standing by the roadside.
"Wow, are these people lining up to get into Mingcui Fang?"
Wen Yao and Tang Zhen exchanged a glance. Both of them were a little expectant, but they were also afraid that their expectations would be dashed.
The car slowly moved forward.
Finally, we can see the Mingcuifang store.
At this moment, staff members were at the entrance using a small megaphone to continuously direct order.
"Please line up slowly and don't crowd. We are limiting the number of people allowed in. Those who just arrived don't need to line up anymore. Please come earlier tomorrow."
The sales staff didn't expect that when they came to work early in the morning, the buyers would arrive before them. However, the factory only had a limited stock, so they could only make one number of number tags. Once the number tags were distributed, it meant they were out of stock.
While we can't guarantee that everyone will buy, we can't let people wait in vain.
"It really is Mingcui Fang?!"
Wen Yao said softly
"Tang Zhen, do you think we have too few stores at Mingcuifang?"
Tang Zhen nodded.
"It is a bit low. Which business owner can afford to hire a top-tier celebrity to endorse their store? Miss, you are one of a kind."
Wen Yao pursed her lips.
She was initially worried that no one would buy it.
"But don't worry, the other two stores will be open next week."
At this moment, Wen Yao turned on her phone.
The public opinion in the comments section has changed.
"No, rich lady, you only have one store? I was thinking of getting up early this morning to go buy some." (IP: Rongcheng)
"Yes, I was actually looking forward to it. I searched for famous shops in Mingcuifang on the map, but they're over a thousand kilometers away!"
"People are queuing." (Photo of people queuing)
Wen Yao felt a little apologetic and commented in the comments section.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect everyone to be so excited about this product. Thank you for your support. Don't worry, this product will not be taken off the shelves within a year. I will try my best to open a Mingcui Fang store in major first-tier cities within a year."
