Chapter 522: Chapter 0523: Because I Am a Genius in This Respect

The world’s four major fashion capitals include Paris, France, New York, United States, London, England, and Milan, Italy. Among them, Paris and Milan are particularly famous, with their rankings almost interchangeable.

After graduating from high school, Liu Xueying went to study in Italy and then entered the renowned Marangoni Fashion Design Institute in Milan.

After obtaining his master’s degree, he interned and worked at several fashion design companies in Milan. Once he had gained ample experience and established a certain reputation in the world of fashion design, he flew back to work in East Sea City for three years before being headhunted by Xingyue Group with a high salary to become the director of the first design department.

Unexpectedly, the young man standing before him, dressed in shabby clothes hardly distinguishable from a rag picker, had the audacity to call his work trash. Liu Xueying was the first to take umbrage.

Looking at Liu Xueying’s effeminate mannerisms and expressions, even the tone of his speech, Ye Qiu felt disgusted.

However, he didn’t care about these details; what he wanted to say was that the lingerie design drawings in front of Liu Xueying were, likewise, trash.

"Which fashion design drawing is his?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"My name, Simon, is on it!"

Liu Xueying replied, still with his fingers delicately poised, as he looked towards Ye Qiu.

Each fashion design drawing had its own specialized name or logo, and Liu Xueying used an Italian name, Simon, not Chinese.

Shen Yueru and Liu Xueying thought Ye Qiu wouldn’t understand the Italian text, but to their surprise, Ye Qiu quickly located it among the stack of works.

Looking at the two lingerie design sketches, Ye Qiu could tell they were suitable for middle-aged women around forty.

"Director Liu, you designed these, right?"

"Yes, I did,"

said Liu Xueying, in a feminine tone.

"Judging from the concepts of these two lingerie designs, they are targeted at middle-aged women around forty, presumably aimed at those women who still possess charm.

No sooner had Ye Qiu spoken than the meeting room fell into a quiet hush.

Except for Li Yingjun, who continued combing his hair, the other department heads looked at Ye Qiu in amazement.

Particularly Shen Yueru and Liu Xueying, who never expected Ye Qiu to actually discern correctly.

Within Xingyue Group, the high-end brand names were created for women of various ages.

For twelve-year-old girls just starting junior high or sixth grade, beginning to wear bras and undergarments, the lingerie brand named by Xingyue Group was called Golden Hairpin Series.

The Golden Hairpin Series was further divided into different seasonal brands for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

For the young girls around thirteen or fourteen, the lingerie brand named by Xingyue Group was Cardamom, precisely for that age group’s different styles of lingerie.

Moving on to girls aged sixteen to twenty, the group named their lingerie brand Jade, the Jade Lingerie Series.

For women above the age of twenty-four or those who had reached the age of young wives, Xingyue Group named the brand for this type of lingerie Floral Series.

For middle-aged women around forty, the lingerie brand named by Xingyue Group was Charm, the Charm Series.

Additionally, there was a separate lingerie brand that transcended age, known as the Luofu Series.

Since Luofu was the name of an ancient beauty, using this term as a brand name had become quite popular with many cultured, knowledgeable, and wealthy women.

However, before getting to know Xingyue Group, Ye Qiu was unaware of the names of the various lingerie brands under the group’s umbrella.

Moreover, he hadn’t looked into them at all upon his arrival.

Therefore, Shen Yueru was very surprised; she had thought Ye Qiu had previously researched Xingyue Group’s lingerie series, but his demeanor suggested otherwise.

"Did you previously understand the company’s intimates and clothing designs?"

Shen Yueru asked.

"Why would I care about that? I didn’t have the time."

"Then how did you know?"

Shen Yueru asked.

"Because I am a genius in this area!"

Ye Qiu said.

However, when he made his claim, not only Shen Yueru but also Li Yingjun looked toward the shameless young man with a sneer.

He actually said he was a genius in this area?

More like a fool!

Continuing with the lingerie design by Liu Xueying in hand, Ye Qiu said, "This design by Director Liu suggests the wearer is definitely over the age of forty, just by looking at the cup size and the extent to which it lifts and supports."

That was what Ye Qiu had deduced at first glance.

However, times had changed. Now there were many wealthy people, consuming milk and papaya daily, which led to women being much fuller than before. This might be quite different from the past, with young women now appearing to exceed a C cup size.

But what surprised Ye Qiu the most was that, in fact, Liu Xueying might have studied abroad, probably in Milan, Italy. That’s why his current design leaned more towards foreign women.

In this regard, white, black, and Asian women have different cup sizes and shapes.

And the most significant difference is that the world’s four major fashion capitals all have different design factions.

This was like when Ye Qiu was at the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, where there were the Imperial Physician Faction, the Academic Faction, and the Master-Apprenticeship Faction.

The four fashion capitals also had their own design factions: Milan Faction, London Faction, Paris Faction, and New York Faction. Different countries and cities developed differing cultures and aesthetic views through the process.

Within these four major factions, like the Milan Faction, there were various sub-factions.

So, when Ye Qiu saw Liu Xueying’s designs, he guessed it belonged to a conservative sub-faction of the Milan Faction with an influence of Renaissance and Ancient Rome.

Of course, Liu Xueying believed that women over forty in China should dress conservatively while still being fashionable.

Liu Xueying didn’t know what to say, as he realized Ye Qiu had indeed pinpointed the essence of his designs.

"One look and I can tell you studied fashion design related to the conservative and renaissance schools in Milan."

"How, how did you know?"

Liu Xueying, astounded, stood up and asked incredulously.

"Never mind your style. I know all about the different fashion design schools in Milan. I studied there too."

Ye Qiu said coolly.

"You studied there? When did you go?"

Shen Yueru asked in surprise.

Looking at Ye Qiu, he certainly didn’t seem like someone who had been to Italy. Moreover, at his age, how could Ye Qiu possibly have studied there?

Not just Shen Yueru, but Liu Xueying and everyone else could hardly believe it either.

Ye Qiu himself, including the original Ye Qiu, had indeed never been there. But among the Soul Consciousness he had absorbed, there were a few who had spent a significant time in Milan before returning to Jinling to live, and then died, leaving behind their Soul Consciousness, which Ye Qiu absorbed while being treated at Jinling Hospital.
