Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 44

She also agreed with Lin Qiaoqiao's idea that Qingfengyi was indeed not suitable for on-site setup.

In the past, many jewelry and exhibition design companies and designers on Earth outsourced production and setup, only providing design drafts themselves.

"If you find a suitable space to set up a studio or company later, you can try contacting them; it might be useful later."

She wants to put on several shows like the Paris Fashion Week...

After some thought, I imagined a gentle breeze echoing through the cosmos, with models walking back and forth on the runway in clothes she designed and made...

So exciting, my mouth is watering!

Lin Qiaoqiao: "Okay, this time I'll find several studios to cooperate with. After that, I'll collect customer feedback and project results, and choose one that's suitable."

"Ah."

After Lin Qiaoqiao left, Lin Shuying continued to study the original owner's professional courses, planning to learn about game store systems and guild design.

Or should it be done according to her own ideas?

It's not impossible...

I jotted down my thoughts in my notebook.

At noon, the guests were taken to the third floor of the exhibition hall, where they simply played a game of all-in on a vial of nutrient solution before the auction began.

The guests were a little surprised that Qingfengyi would actually make these distinguished guests drink nutritional supplements?

For the nouveau riche, Qingfengyi's event was no different from their ostentatious banquets. Not even a glass of red wine or a few cookies were provided, which was rather stingy.

Lin Qiaoqiao was seriously trying to save time and money. A bottle of the lowest grade of red wine costs over 8,000 yuan; how many bottles would be needed for 1,200 people, one glass per person?

Even cookies aren't cheap...

Even though the games designed by the boss are very profitable, we can't be ripped off.

Lin Shuying, however, was surprised that the interstellar people attending the exhibition would prepare lunch for them, as she was still familiar with things from her previous life.

Upon hearing this question, Lin Qiaoqiao quickly made a decision to give everyone nutritional supplements.

The selected nutrients are of a relatively high grade.

Instead of a large bottle costing four Star Coins, they switched to a tube of high-end nutritional supplements costing ten dollars, available in various flavors.

He's bleeding heavily!

After drinking the nutritional supplement, sit down according to your assigned number.

This seating arrangement was suggested by Xiao Anlan. Here's a little work tip: if you're unsure about the seating arrangement at a banquet, ask the assistant or subordinate of the highest-ranking person for advice. Then, combine this with your own understanding to draft a plan, and finally have your supervisor or boss review it. It's highly likely you won't make a mistake. Of course, if your supervisor or boss is also unsure, it will involve a lot of revisions...

Being a subordinate at work is not easy.

After getting ready, Lin Qiaoqiao sent a message to Lin Shuying, and the auction would officially begin once she arrived!

Lin Qiaoqiao served as the host of the auction, with Xia Chunqi and Wang Congjun as her assistants.

The first one for sale is Huang Shigong. Among the six types of chrysanthemums, Huang Shigong's colors are not as rich as the other five. However, its colors are rich and its flower shape is round. The design is a comb with large chrysanthemums next to small chrysanthemums, which is the most suitable for a diagonal arrangement.

The most outstanding designs for Huang Shigong's chrysanthemum hair combs are the gemstone petals and the heat-shrinked flowers; the other three designs are relatively less impressive.

The large screen displaying Huang Shigong's chrysanthemum hair comb still amazed many guests who had been looking at the exhibits for a long time.

After welcoming the guests, Lin Qiaoqiao shared some words written by Lin Shuying: "Although most of the jewelry and clothing made by Qingfengyi are limited editions or out of print due to issues such as manpower and production, Qingfengyi's designs are geared towards the public. We will strive to find excellent partners to promote Qingfengyi's outstanding designs. We want beauty to be something everyone can enjoy, rather than something kept on a high shelf or an antique that can only be viewed through a museum window. Qingfengyi's philosophy is: beauty is an eternal pursuit. Today, we'll move on to the next point: beauty is a happiness that everyone can enjoy. Beauty deserves to exist around us, becoming a common need. This might make the word sound cheap and lowly, but the nobility of beauty is not something kept on a high shelf, nor is it expensive or unattainable. It is brought out from our surroundings, refined and perfected in higher realms, and ultimately returns to us. Therefore, our works have value, but what is priceless is the appreciation and admiration for beautiful art. This sale is in the form of an auction, but its essence is a sale. Let's begin our sale."

This passage was originally written in a more arbitrary, absolute, and naive manner, even somewhat like a child's unintentional joke. It was only after Lin Qiaoqiao's repeated suggestions that it became what it is today.

Lin Qiaoqiao felt that her boss's idea was dangerous, even a little scary.

Whether in thought or action, naive people have always been easily crushed.

If one is resilient, heaven will grant them the opportunity to create miracles, and myths will be born.

If one is weak and not strong enough, one will face endless darkness...

These words caused the guests below to chatter incessantly.

"What is Qingfengyi planning to do? Devalue their things?"

"No, it sounds really high-class."

"That can't be right. It's probably just to elevate the theme of the auction. But doesn't that sound like a way of advising guests to hold back their money when bidding?"

"It's so touching, but it's a bit naive, even a little silly. But I like it, and I'll take pictures of everything later."

"Okay, boss."

The auction began, with rounds of bidding, and the prices were quite good.

Lin Shuying watched silently, very happy.

No one dislikes having their creations recognized by the public; just like getting first place in the grade in junior or senior high school exams, it makes you jump for joy.

After the auction ended, Lin Shuying quietly left and went to the dressing room, looking at herself in the mirror. Her face looked somewhat like her original self, and increasingly so.

My hair has grown longer...

Come to think of it, I've been here for over a year.

She took out a white jade hairpin and applied a powdered face to her face to create a simple, natural look, with dark red lipstick.

Just by looking at their hands, you should see they have some kind of manicure or something.

Or armor; ancient armor was beautiful, exquisite, and expensive.

Lin Qiaoqiao came over and was amazed by Lin Shuying's makeup and styling. "So beautiful, boss."

"Thank you, you've worked hard today. Good results."

"Hehe, it was going to be even better, but the boss's words caused a slight slump at the start. Today's online auction was a huge success, the guests at the venue were all horrified when they saw the online bids, hahaha."

As expected, there are many big shots online. Many rich people from first-class planets hired people from planet Aimer to bid on their behalf, and their bids were all incredibly high.

The guests at the scene were caught off guard by the added statement and their bidding became somewhat restrained.

When the event ended, the Planet Master's wife pulled Lin Qiaoqiao aside and asked when the next chrysanthemum hair comb would be available. Lin Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "It's already sold out in real life. If the boss is happy about Qingfengyi's anniversary or something, it will probably be brought back. But it's not available right now. If you didn't get it in the game, you can go and buy a few now. I'm sure many players have collected them."

The planet's mistress stared wide-eyed in disbelief and asked, "A hair comb that costs nearly two hundred thousand each, and you're only making this one?"

Lin Qiaoqiao shrugged. What can you do if you have a capricious boss? You just have to spoil him.

The guests who didn't get a photo were disappointed and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to bring beauty closer to us? Shouldn't you do more for your own ideals?"

Taking the opportunity, Lin Qiaoqiao took out a large bunch of business cards from her business partners, specifically for the physical business cards she had made today.

From this perspective, these words seem to have a significant effect; at least the patent fees collected from outside are far more than the profits earned from the few works made!

As expected of the boss, he's very farsighted.

"Qingfengyi's philosophy is being implemented very well. We have already partnered with twenty clothing design studios, one hundred and twenty art customization companies, and fifty large-scale antique reproduction studios across the planet Aimer, which is enough to meet any of your needs. As long as it is a Qingfengyi product, you can buy the same style in these studios and companies."

The guest tugged at his butler's suit. "This is what I'm wearing. Can it compare to something made by Qingfengyi? If it could, why would I be here?"

What you're buying is the unique customization and exquisite craftsmanship!

Lin Qiaoqiao offered various reassurances and a smile, saying, "There's nothing we can do. We only have the manpower and resources. We've already tried our best to expand and outsource."

.......

After seeing the guests off, Lin Qiaoqiao excitedly reported the day's results, "The profit this time was 3700 million! Isn't that exciting? After deducting costs, we made more than 3300 million. That's incredibly profitable! I love it!"

Lin Shuying was also very happy; who wouldn't be happy to have money?

"We're giving out bonuses and giving everyone a three-day holiday!"

"Yay! Boss, it's on the company's dime to treat everyone to something delicious!"

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "When is it ever that good food isn't paid for by the company?"

"Hehe, can I have the newly recreated crayfish this time?"

crayfish!!!

"Okay, buy more."

Unexpectedly, a genius in interstellar science has recreated the crayfish!

High technology is amazing, truly incredible.

That evening, expensive crayfish were delivered—eight plates in total, thirty crayfish per plate, each about the size of two fingers, all meaty. Enough for fourteen people.

The crayfish was different from what Lin Shuying had imagined; it was a soft-skinned crayfish.

The skin is made of interstellar technology, supposedly a cell culture capsule, like a membrane. The flesh inside is soft and limp, lacking strength and elasticity, which looks a bit scary.

The cleaning lady used small scissors to cut them out one by one; they were smooth and slippery.

Lin Shuying thought of the artificial beef from her previous life. That seemed to be cultured in a high-tech sterile laboratory culture medium, while this one was directly encapsulated in plastic.

.......

The soup base made by Lu Yunzhi is fresh and fragrant.

Interstellar people have been drinking nutritional supplements for nearly three thousand years and are largely unable to tolerate spicy food.

To eat crayfish, use chopsticks to pick up the limp crayfish and put them into the soup pot. Once the crayfish meat has orange-red veins, it's ready to eat.

Lin Shuying closed her eyes and thought, "It's all meat, and it's artificially cultivated, pollution-free, and very clean meat!"

Then I put the lobster in my mouth. Although the lobster flavor was much weaker and the meat was less springy, it was still edible.

When it comes to food, once you start, you'll start again, and eventually you'll adapt to local customs.

Eight plates of lobster meat, all eaten up.

Everyone lay sprawled on the sofas with large cushions, bellies full. "This is so delicious! People in ancient times were so lucky. Long live our scientist dad!"

Wang Congjun: "I heard they've started replicating snowflake beef. Boss, if snowflake beef comes out at the next celebration banquet, can we have some?"

Lin Qiaoqiao nudged him, "You haven't even found the direction for success yet, and you're already thinking about a celebration banquet?"

"Hehe, waiting for instructions from Sister Qiao and the boss!"

Lin Shuying opened the StarNet and ordered a serving of crayfish for the original owner's parents.

My mom called and told me not to order anything for them or send them any money. She said I should keep it for myself. She said they can't help with her daughter's business, and running it costs a lot of money, but they have enough for themselves.

Also, I feel sorry for my daughter being scolded by players.
