At this moment, Wang Xiaoxiao seemed unable to hold back any longer and spoke with guilt.
Zhou Wang seemed to understand now.
Whether or not Wang Xiaoxiao originally had a dress, he wasn’t sure, but Hua Suisui definitely did...
Why?
Of course, because he had specifically mentioned it to Lin Xiaoxiao, asking her to find one for Hua Suisui.
Hua Suisui stood at 166 centimeters tall, which was quite exceptional for a girl. Finding a dress in her size wasn’t hard, so Zhou Wang made a point of arranging it...
Since he had taken advantage that night, Zhou Wang was a man of principles who never took anything for free. No matter what happened in the future, he felt he should compensate her somehow, hence his arrangements afterward.
However, Zhou Wang hadn’t expected that Hua Suisui’s dress would be intercepted by someone else.
"Hold on a moment."
Zhou Wang stepped aside and made a call to Lin Xiaoxiao to ask what happened.
It was noisy on the other end; Lin Xiaoxiao was actually at the Olympic Sports Center, busy in the Hermes exhibition area.
When a prestigious luxury brand suddenly made its appearance at the annual gala of a top influencer company, the contrasting effect sparked the imagination of everyone involved.
Although their booth was a last-minute addition and not centrally located, Hermes immediately became the standout at the "Wuyou Market" upon its debut.
That small exhibition area remained remarkably busy from 3 p.m. onwards as word spread among the countless attendees, and the hundreds of prepared gifts had been given out long ago. Even with no more gifts, the crowd showed no signs of dwindling...
If Zhou Wang had been paying attention, he’d have noticed—
Hermes and Wuyou’s collaboration had already made the hot search lists on several major platforms, with rankings continuing to rise.
"Hermes is really rising up, let’s hope it can leverage the buzz from Wuyou Media."
"When’s Hermes going to livestream? I never bought it because it felt too elitist. If they really have Wuyou influencers selling Hermes, then... forget I said anything."
"Has influencer marketing developed to such an extent that even Hermes is collaborating? It’s hard to determine whether to say this drops Hermes’ prestige or to say—wow, times really have changed."
These were the top-liked comments across various sections.
There was skepticism, there was mockery, there was awe, but one had to admit it sparked a huge buzz...
Lin Xiaoxiao found herself both amused and exasperated. Having rotated through various entry-level roles, including sales, she didn’t expect that one day she’d be explaining the history of the Hermes brand to a large group of customers clearly not part of the target audience.
Some attendees even questioned if they were a counterfeit brand, squatting in front of the "Hermès" logo, trying to find similarities to faux brands like Adidas and Adiwan...
Despite everything, Lin Xiaoxiao was quite enthusiastic, not just because she liked Zhou Wang, but because she also sensed Zhou Wang’s special status at Hermes.
For these reasons, she put her heart into her work and was extremely busy. If it weren’t for Zhou Wang’s call, she might not have answered.
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, you mean those dresses? When they arrived at seven, I handed them over to Mr. Zheng, the head of your event. I even labeled the one you mentioned with a name... is there a problem?"
Hearing Zhou Wang ask about the dresses, Lin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
"No worries, I get it. You’ve worked hard today, I’ll take you to dinner sometime."
Zhou Wang didn’t say much to Lin Xiaoxiao. He couldn’t fault her for this; handing over the dresses to Mr. Zheng for distribution made sense, given that she wasn’t familiar with the Wuyou influencers either.
After hanging up, Zhou Wang returned to Hua Suisui’s side and asked directly, "Do you know who your dress was given to?"
"It was the Qianyu Qianxun sisters. The company said that the colors of the dresses matched better, and they fit them more appropriately..."
Hua Suisui replied truthfully, not knowing Zhou Wang’s purpose for asking.
Qianyu Qianxun?
Zhou Wang found the name a bit disorienting at first, recalling the sisters from the karaoke bar, but this "Qianyu Qianxun" was definitely different from that "Qianyu Qianxun."
The latter was a genuine major influencer at Wuyou, still on the rise. It seemed the sisters from the vocational school had borrowed their "stage name."
"Have they walked the red carpet yet?" Zhou Wang asked again.
"Not yet..."
"Mr. Zheng arranged for them to appear just before the celebrities, so it won’t be for a while."
Hua Suisui shook her head, and Wang Xiaoxiao added, unable to conceal her envy in her tone.
"Then let me see if I can get your dress back..."
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
"Oh, it can be retrieved?" Hua Suisui was momentarily bewildered.
"If they haven’t changed into it yet, maybe... Wang Xiaoxiao, do you need me to help retrieve your dress too?"
Zhou Wang didn’t make any promises, turning to ask Wang Xiaoxiao casually.
"I... uh, Mr. Zhou, are you contacting Mr. Zheng?"
Wang Xiaoxiao hesitated and asked.
Zhou Wang looked at her in surprise, seeing she had changed her way of addressing him, as if she’d grown a little smarter...
"No, I don’t know him, I’ll ask someone else."
Zhou Wang shook his head.
"Oh... then, let’s not bother. Even if we retrieve the dress, it’s probably too late by now."
