Chapter 378: 378 Stunning the Whole Audience [2 Updates]

Indeed, accidents during fashion shows are no longer a rare occurrence.

Yet, this is the first time Pulling the Sky Company graced the runway, and the incident of a model falling down had to affect its international value.

The reason why luxury brands are considered luxurious isn’t that their raw materials are exceptionally expensive, but because high value is ascribed to them.

Catika, Freya Yinnide, and Seres, these three top world luxury brands, could sell a mere transparent bag for tens of thousands at astronomical prices, and yet countless people would flock to them.

It’s the effect of the brand, not the value of the item itself.

Only by establishing brand value could Pulling the Sky Company become a globally recognized luxury company.

Obviously, other well-established brands wouldn’t give Pulling the Sky Company such an opportunity.

Because the products under Pulling the Sky’s brand inherently possess extremely high value, if they were to really develop a brand effect, they would quickly dominate the market and squeeze the living environment of the original frontline brands.

Watching the model about to fall, Ye Wanlan suddenly opened her eyes. She lifted her hand and flicked her fingers.

The model only felt a sudden force that supported her, allowing her to stabilize.

After regaining her balance, she quickly composed herself and continued walking forward.

Although she wasn’t an internationally famous model, she had undergone rigorous training before stepping onto the runway and wasn’t stage fright.

Downstairs, some people let out exclamations, and the eyes of a few guests in the VIP seats suddenly widened, showing a degree of disbelief.

From their angle, the model dressed in Kesi Silk would surely not avoid a fall, yet she miraculously steadied herself!

Before the live broadcast cameras, the netizens were also greatly shocked.

[Good heavens, how did she stand up straight? What kind of skill is that?]

[Wait?! Did that model just defy Newton’s Second Law?]

[What does the matter of the People of Shenzhou have to do with my Newton? Leave him out of it.]

[Shenzhou kung fu, this must be Shenzhou kung fu!]

This twist not only failed to end Pulling the Sky Company’s runway show but instead invigorated the drowsy guests, who now watched the subsequent catwalk with concentrated interest.

As the investor in the fashion show, Christine was naturally in the VIP seats.

Naturally, she didn’t miss the shadowy angle of the camera where someone quietly poured out a bottle of transparent liquid.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she pressed on her earpiece.

"Miss Kristin, I’m here," the young deacon’s voice came through the earpiece, "Do you have any orders?"

"Find out which company is responsible for the sabotage on the runway," Christine said indifferently, "From now on, I will not place any orders for any of the brands under that company."

She was lazy by nature, and her daily necessities were delivered directly to her estate by various brands, from which she would then make her selections.

"Understood." The young deacon replied, "I’ll take care of it right away."

On this end, Fang Qingli patted her chest, her heart still thumping, "Sister Lan, you were right, every step is fraught with danger."

"Mm," Ye Wanlan replied blandly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "A clumsy little trick, but indeed effective."

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Fang Qingli lowered her voice, "Sister Lan, did you see? Those guests’ eyes lit up, someone tried to harm us, but instead they drew even more attention to us."

"It’s a good thing," Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Let’s see what new tricks they have up their sleeves next."

The second model appeared, also dressed in Kesi Silk, but the style was completely different from the first, offering a breath of fresh air.

[Who exactly is the designer for Pulling the Sky Company? So talented!]

[The second piece is also very beautiful. Who still remembers the Cloud Brocade from a few months ago? It was also a rare piece of art.]

The third model was a male, showcasing menswear.

With three models on stage, the background music also reached its climax.

"Applause—"

There was thunderous applause from below the stage, along with cheers.

At this point, the atmosphere inside the show reached its peak.

"Chairman!" The secretary rushed over, unable to hide the excitement, "The tech department says that just now, our ratings skyrocketed!"

"What?" The chairman was also taken aback, "They went up?"

"Yes," the secretary nodded, "Local TV ratings in the Global Center and the number of people in the live streaming room both went up, and other countries and regions are still tallying."

Hit by such a huge surprise, the chairman was a bit stunned.

He had to admit, he indeed did not have high hopes for the so-called weaving techniques of Shenzhou.

Beautiful as they were, they were hard to promote, didn’t align with the general public’s aesthetics, and it was even harder to establish brand value.

Yet, to his surprise, Pulling the Sky had instead brought a wave of popularity to the fashion show.

"Indeed, Miss Kristin has a good eye and can precisely capture every investment opportunity," the chairman let out a breath and chuckled bitterly, "I really have been a frog at the bottom of a well, not seeing the sky."

The secretary bowed his head, his face also stinging with embarrassment.

Today’s fashion show was indeed hotter than the past two years, and headlines were already dominated by "Kesi Silk" and "The Magic of Shenzhou"

[Honestly, apart from a few outfits from the Fu Yin Family today, the other two top luxury brands were quite ordinary.]

[Pulling the Sky’s three Kesi Silk pieces were particularly outstanding! Today was a success!]

[Looking forward to tomorrow and the day after, I hope Pulling the Sky Company will bring more excitement.]

[Where are the keyboard warriors who said Pulling the Sky would be embarrassed? Why are they not showing themselves now?]

"It’s finally over." Fang Qingli stepped out of the show venue, taking in several deep breaths of fresh air, "My heart can finally settle down."

"Don’t rush, there are still two days," Ye Wanlan checked the time, her voice low, "Only if we pass the next two days safely, will the name ’Pulling the Sky’ be able to step onto the stage of the international market."

And because of the great start on the first day, the subsequent two days would see the top frontline brands certainly going all out against Pulling the Sky Company.

This will truly be a tough battle.

Fang Qingli nodded with a serious expression.

The two of them, along with Jiang Xulin and Zhou Yixiang, headed towards the lodging arranged by the organizers. Upon arriving at the hotel, they received a warm welcome from the staff, who informed them that the organizers had specially switched them to a new suite, the same level as the three top luxury brands.

Ye Wanlan took the room card and passed it to Fang Qingli.

"Hmph, snobs," Jiang Xulin crossed her arms, "Yesterday they were all high and mighty, and today they’re fawning over us."

"That’s society," Ye Wanlan said with a light smile, "Let’s go; it’s been a tiring day. Time to get some proper rest."

At that moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Miss Fang, please wait."

Fang Qingli turned around to see a woman with golden hair, Western features, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge.

"Hello, Miss Fang, I am the director of Jiatika Company," the woman extended her hand politely, "I watched your company’s performance at today’s fashion show, and I was very impressed."

"Hello," Fang Qingli shook her hand but kept a vigilant and distant attitude, "Thank you for your appreciation."

"Miss Fang is from Shenzhou; people from Shenzhou always skirt around, but we at the Global Center are different," the woman smiled faintly, "we say what we have on our minds."

Hearing this, Fang Qingli’s demeanor cooled, "Go ahead."

"Jiatika Company understands that your company has made significant efforts to break into the global market," the woman continued to smile, "but now, you don’t need to try so hard anymore. We can help you."

Fang Qingli remained silent.

"Jiatika Company has decided to offer 15 billion to acquire your company," the woman got straight to the point, "After the acquisition, Jiatika will not only not interfere with any of your company’s operations but also help your company further occupy the international market."

"But this way, won’t we become a subsidiary of Jiatika?" Fang Qingli scoffed, "Your scheme is really well thought out."

The woman maintained her smile, "Miss Fang, you are mistaken, this is clearly a mutually beneficial arrangement. If you reject this opportunity, I can’t guarantee that you will be able to leave the Global Center smoothly. You’ve seen what happened these past two days."

Fang Qingli’s fury was unabated, "You—"

Ye Wanlan placed her hand on Fang Qingli’s shoulder and looked straight into the woman’s eyes, "If there’s nothing else, you can leave now."

"Leave?" The woman’s smile faded, "Are you sure? Who are you to speak for Pulling the Sky Company? Do you have a say in this?"
