Vivian then spoke about her encounter with the CCTV film crew in front of the camera. However, it was evident that this segment had been edited, as it needed to align with the propaganda that the CCTV reporter had been deceived, not that she herself was fabricating the story.
After editing, it appeared similar to the plot in the promotional video, with added emphasis on the explanations of the four masters to inform the public that these four masters were indeed genuine. The high-heeled shoes on her feet were, in fact, meticulously crafted by one of these KJ masters.
The interview was nearing its end.
“Miss Vivian, are you happy with this adventure?” the reporter asked.
“Of course, I’m happy, because not only did I encounter interesting things and find this beautiful Hanfu, but most importantly, I met a man who moved my heart!” Princess Vivian said with a shy smile.
“Oh!” The viewers in front of the TV all perked up. You’re talking about this, and I’m not sleepy anymore.
“Then, which young talent has captured the Princess’s affection? Would you be willing to reveal it to us?” the reporter asked curiously.
“Actually, I don’t know who he is either!” The princess said with a wry smile. “I met him briefly, spent a day together, and was quickly discovered by my family and separated from him. I didn’t even get to say goodbye.”
“But I know he’s Chinese, an employee of Jiangnan Group, responsible for liaising with the four masters! Later, when I sent people to look for him, I heard he had been transferred back to China.” xxs one
“Wow!!” All the Chinese watching this program exclaimed in unison. Damn, a European princess falling for a Chinese laborer, this plot is too melodramatic, could it be fake!
But upon closer thought, it didn’t seem likely to be fake. After all, she was a princess of a country, and she wouldn’t speak without thinking, especially not about love.
Furthermore, saying such things in front of a nation’s media seemed even less likely to be false.
“This…” The reporter also hadn’t expected to uncover such explosive news and didn’t know what to say for a moment. Instead, Princess Vivian spoke to the camera, “Please, you absolutely cannot cut this next part.”
“Okay!” The reporter instinctively nodded.
“My dearest, I know you must be watching this program. Don’t worry, I will definitely come to find you. I’ll be able to go to university next year, and I’ll enroll in a Chinese school. You must wait for me, wait for me to find you, and don’t fall in love with any other woman!” Vivian said loudly to the camera.
“Clap clap clap clap!” Enthusiastic applause erupted from many viewers in front of their televisions. Chinese people found it difficult to do something like confessing to a television camera, so when they saw a foreigner being so bold in their affections, they gave enthusiastic applause. It was applause for what they themselves dared not do.
Especially a foreign princess falling for a Chinese laborer, this was something every Chinese person would boast about. They had to applaud and praise this young Chinese man for bringing glory to the nation.
“Brother-in-law, you must know who this person is!” Even Leng Zhiwen watched with teary eyes. “Brother-in-law, why don’t you just send him to work in Italy again? Don’t let such a beautiful love go to waste!”
“…” Huang He opened his mouth. At that time, there was only one Chinese man in the village, and that was Huang He. There were no other Chinese men. Where could he send someone to work in Italy?
“Ahem, alright, I’ll send a few employees over in a few days!” Huang He said without hesitation. After all, Jiangnan Group was about to establish a long-term business cooperation with Capon Village, so sending a representative was a natural thing to do. It was part of the plan.
However, Huang He added, “But this Princess Vivian isn’t Italian, she’s from Liechtenstein. We don’t have any business there, so it’s impossible to send anyone. So it doesn’t make sense for you to ask me to send that person to Italy!”
“Then you must know who this person is!” Leng Zhiwen asked curiously. “Is he handsome?”
“I’m not sure. That guy isn’t actually our employee. I temporarily hired a local international student. You don’t know, we don’t have any business there, and I was just acting temporarily. So I hired a few local international students to cooperate with our act!” Huang He explained logically, firmly stating that the person was not at Jiangnan Group and he didn’t know the person, thus deceiving Leng Zhiwen.
However, at this moment, Huang He couldn’t help but reminisce about the pleasant feeling and touch of holding the leg of the dignified Princess of Liechtenstein, and then his hands involuntarily placed themselves on Leng Zhiwen’s thigh.
“Brother-in-law, I want it!” Leng Zhiwen was moved. How could Huang He refuse? He immediately pounced, transforming into a wolf.

“What, the KJ master-designed leather shoes have now risen to at least 30,000 yuan a pair on Jiangnan Mall!” When Boss Huang started work the next day, he received a report from Hu Jing.
In fact, it wasn’t just the KJ master-designed leather shoes; all the leather shoes with the special imprints of the eight masters had increased in price. The cheapest pair had risen to over 10,000 yuan.
The most expensive were the works of the KJ master, especially the white high-heeled shoes, which had tripled in price in one day and now reached 180,000 yuan a pair. Who knows how this price increase happened.
It wasn’t just the leather shoes that were increasing in price. The Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness clothing gift boxes that were released earlier had all seen significant price increases on Jiangnan Merchant Ships. After all, there were only 100 sets nationwide, and countless wealthy individuals saw Princess Vivian wearing the Hanfu and their eyes lit up, determined to get one for themselves.
Especially since this Hanfu was released in January, and there were no finished products at the time of release, only a custom order letter.
After all, clothing is not like other products that can be generalized. Clothing needs to be custom-made according to the wearer’s body shape.
Therefore, users who drew the Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness Hanfu could not get the finished product immediately. Instead, they had to write their body information and clothing gender requirements on the custom order letter.
They could mail it directly to Liushang Qu Shui Cai Wei Shi or fill it out online. The production would be completed within three months, and then it would be shipped.
This meant that most of the Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness Hanfu had not yet been shipped and were all being intensively produced in the factory of Liushang Qu Shui Cai Wei Shi.
This implied that these Hanfu were brand-new items, not pre-worn second-hand goods.
One should not underestimate this point, because wealthy people absolutely disdained second-hand clothes and only bought new clothes.
This further increased the price of these Hanfu. The Hanfu, originally priced at over 40,000 yuan on Jiangnan Mall, had now soared to 120,000 yuan per set. Especially those with a few unwritten custom order letters, their prices had risen astronomically, as it meant the possibility of purchasing clothing tailor-made for oneself, which was naturally the best choice.
Therefore, the price of such a blank custom order letter had directly reached 200,000 yuan each.
And the price was still continuously rising, with more and more noblewomen starting to snatch them up. After all, for those with a net worth of tens of millions, spending over a hundred thousand yuan on a piece of clothing was not a big deal.
Huang He was surprised to find that, without realizing it, the products from Liushang Qu Shui Cai Wei Shi and the Italian Master Customization blind boxes were beginning to show signs of becoming luxury goods. This gave Huang He many new ideas.
Could he find a way to create a luxury goods group? After all, in the future, the big boss of the luxury goods industry also served as the world’s richest man for a considerable period. If he could truly make the luxury goods industry flourish, the profits and business scale would undoubtedly be terrifying.
Most importantly, in China in 2021, there were almost no large-scale commercialized luxury brands.
One could say that China had some specialized custom traditional shops, where a custom piece of clothing could cost hundreds of thousands of RMB. One could not deny that these shops were luxury brands.
But these luxury brands were not commercialized and were still stuck in the workshop stage. Although the profits of such shops were astonishing, the market was very small; they were ultimately just small workshops.
Only brands like Lv, Dior, and Chanel, despite producing hundreds of thousands of pieces, whose products were not only not beautiful but also of very poor quality and had no reuse value, were still bought by a large number of so-called sophisticated women, even if they had to take out payday loans or eat instant noodles for half a year to buy a piece of such luxury goods.
Logically speaking, Huang He firmly believed that anything produced in quantities exceeding 100 pieces had nothing to do with luxury goods, because such items possessed uniqueness. If everyone on the street had the same item, how could it be used to show off!
But these brands had become so-called luxury brands, with annual sales of millions, even tens of millions.
Clearly, these were mass-produced items, yet they were forcefully transformed into so-called unique luxury goods, forming a terrifying luxury group with a market value exceeding trillions. This was simply outrageous.
Of course, later these luxury brands also felt that something was not quite right, so they hard-created a term called "light luxury" to differentiate themselves from those expensive luxury goods.
In this way, noble people continued to use noble luxury goods, while those poor, sophisticated “piggy girls” carried items claimed to be light luxury but were actually mass-produced goods, believing they were already ladies and had become members of the social elite. This was simply comical.
However, if that was the case, then it shouldn’t be foreigners who benefited from this. This door to light luxury would be opened by our Boss Huang!
After all, if he didn’t earn the money from those sophisticated piggy girls, it was better than letting foreigners earn it!
