At this point, not only those who were quietly pushing forward got caught on the spot and became honest and obedient, but even others restrained their excitement and enthusiasm, striving to be a good baby in front of Xixi.
Even the mall staff borrowed over for security were quietly relieved.
As a highly renowned mall in the Imperial City, they have hosted many similar brand events and celebrity meet-and-greets, so they are no strangers to the enthusiasm of fans and have witnessed many cases of fan frenzy in front of their favorite stars.
They have even experienced events being canceled on the spot because fans were too excited and the star couldn’t control the crowd.
Originally, seeing that today’s star was a young girl and the event was so large, with so many people attending, they were sure they wouldn’t be able to relax during the event and would need to promptly stop any instability.
But who knew that as soon as the person took the stage, the first thing she did was exude an aura that stabilized the audience, her crowd control was superb.
With such a good start, it’s foreseeable that the next hour of activities will be much easier for them.
Someone standing beside the fans overheard these young girls whispering to their friends.
"It was worth coming here this time; Xixi has changed so much compared to before. She was pretty then too, but seemed a bit restless. Now her temperament is simply outstanding."
"I felt like Xixi looked this way just now."
"I felt it too; I even forgot to breathe for a moment."
"In person, she’s even more beautiful than in photos and videos; it’s like she’s shining."
"The way Xixi stands on stage makes me feel like she’s the center of the world."
Working nearby and unable to resist overhearing these young girls’ conversations, the staff member: "..."
Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?
While maintaining order, he couldn’t help but glance up at the stage.
It wasn’t until a colleague patted him on the shoulder that he snapped back to reality, a blush creeping onto his youthful face.
Turns out it wasn’t an exaggeration!
Gathering another crowd, the big screen displayed a question drawn from the audience.
The audience member was dressed entirely in Shanyue Zhiheng attire, carrying an expensive bag, clearly a wealthy fan.
And the question she asked was also related to the clothing.
"I really like the outfit Xixi is wearing, but I haven’t seen it in Shanyue Zhiheng’s main line this season. Is it a special collector’s edition?"
"It’s actually a piece I selected from a debuting designer at Shanyue Zhiheng, not part of the main line this season. I thought you had seen the main line enough in previous promotional photos and posters, and wearing them again might cause aesthetic fatigue. Now, doesn’t it feel refreshing?"
"I think it stands up to those main line pieces, just a bit selective. However, seeing how good it looks on Xixi, I think it’s worth buying just to collect."
"Thank you for supporting me and Shanyue Zhiheng."
Backstage, Shen Chuyue, who was following the progress of the program, called over the brand manager to inquire about the emerging designer Jiang Lingxi had mentioned.
This morning, she sent clothes to her cousin-in-law that had gone through preliminary selections before reaching the main star. At the time, when her cousin-in-law chose the outfit from the photos, she specifically asked if there was a mistake.
When she took all the clothes over, this outfit was the first to be picked up and tried on.
Initially, she felt that although the design and cut of the clothes were excellent, the color scheme and embroidery seemed a bit dull, and the models couldn’t wear it out effectively, which is why it wasn’t selected as a main line item this season.
But when she saw her cousin-in-law coming out of the dressing room in the outfit, the first thought in her mind was: Indeed, clothes are also selective about people.
This discerning fan just arrived, even though she knows that wearing the outfit on herself wouldn’t look as effective, but seeing someone wear it so stunningly, she still wants to purchase it to collect.
"Isn’t that designer named Guo Qiqi transferred to Group Three to assist? Bring them back to continue independent design work."
Sometimes it’s not that people can’t design beautiful clothes, but the clothes designed have high demands on the wearer, and this is an example.
When Guo Qiqi received the transfer order, she was busy helping move sample materials and didn’t immediately respond.
With her colleague’s reminder, she realized that the main store was holding a brand event today, and their brand spokesperson was wearing her design that hadn’t been selected as a main line piece.
During break time, she opened the live broadcast of the brand event and, upon seeing that tall and upright figure showcasing all the advantages of her work, she bit her fingers to suppress the urge to scream.
As she continued watching and seeing that person’s every move capturing all attention, inspiration flooded her mind!
Xu Ling’an walked into the mall hand in hand with two dorm mates.
"The mall is so crowded today!"
"I just walked past a few young girls who seemed to be discussing that there might be a celebrity in the mall today."
"No wonder. But since we aren’t really into celebrities, we shouldn’t join the chaos."
Xu Ling’an was about to nod, as she wasn’t a fan of crowded places and fully agreed with this suggestion.
But just as she took off her hat and looked up, she met the huge display screen in the atrium ahead.
She slightly parted her mouth, her eyes widening.
"An’an, why aren’t you moving? Let’s go to the basement to get some milk tea first."
"I, I want to check out the event site," Xu Ling’an said as she pointed at the display screen.
The other two paused, following Xu Ling’an’s pointed direction.
"Is that Jiang Lingxi?"
"I remember An’an watching her live stream in the dorm last time."
"Why don’t we all go and see?"
"Okay, since the three of us came together, we should stay together."
However, by the time they arrived, the event was already halfway through, and they could only stand at the back of the bustling fan crowd.
Also, since excited fans occasionally raised their hands high to wave banners and placards, the three of them, standing at the back, couldn’t see anything and could only listen to the sounds from the on-site speakers.
This was even less clear than when they watched the big screen earlier.
Before the word ’retreat’ could be uttered, the two saw Xu Ling’an, who usually wasn’t interested in entertainment news, still trying to tiptoe persistently, her little face determined, swallowing their words back.
It’s rare to see this girl so captivated by the star named Jiang Lingxi, so they decided to accompany her this time.
"Now we’re at the final segment of this event, and three lucky fans will be invited on stage to play an interactive game with Lingxi."
Xu Ling’an looked at the hands swooshing up in front, pursed her lips, and raised her hand high.
The two friends beside her instantly widened their eyes in shock.
Is this still the socially anxious youngest member of their dorm?
The power of fandom is truly immense!
In the dim tea room, the giant LCD TV screen also played the live broadcast of the Shanyue Zhiheng brand event. Looking at the figure on the screen, a woman whose beauty and grace effortlessly surpassed all the women he had ever known, Bai Shengyu’s eyes contained no lust or admiration, only gritted teeth, "Jiang Lingxi!"
