Chapter 1271: Chapter 680: Haute Couture (Part 3)

"Xiao Yun, did you come back this time to attend the Qingmu Award ceremony?"

Zhou Yun, wearing sunglasses, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes."

"Are you confident about winning the Best Actress award this time?"

Zhou Yun replied, "I don’t know either. Let’s see if the judges like it. It wouldn’t be surprising for any of the nominees to win Best Actress this time."

That was the standard response.

"Song Chi is also nominated for Best Actor this time. Do you have faith in him?"

"Whether or not he wins an award, he is the Best Actor in my heart."

These questions from the reporters were already anticipated by Zhou Lan’s team, and they had prepared standard responses for Zhou Yun.

After answering a few questions, Zhou Yun reached the car waiting for her.

"Sorry, everyone, I have to get in the car now. See you tomorrow." Zhou Yun waved goodbye with a smile.

"See you tomorrow."

Zhou Yun got into the car and took off her sunglasses.

Zheng Xiaojue felt a lingering sense of panic and said, "It’s been a while since I’ve seen their setup; it shocked me once again."

Zhou Yun said, "They work hard too, squatting at the airport in such cold weather."

"Sister Xiao Yun, Sister Lan is already waiting for us at the company." Zheng Xiaojue said, "We need to go try on the outfits first."

Zhou Yun nodded and agreed.

She took out her phone and sent Song Chi a message: I’m here. When are you coming to Shanghai?

After twenty minutes, Song Chi replied: I’ll arrive tonight.

Zhou Yun: Can we have dinner together?

Song Chi said: I might not get there until after eight; don’t wait for me.

Zhou Yun: Alright.

She thought for a while, guessing that people attending the Qingmu Award ceremony tomorrow night must be arriving in Shanghai tonight, so she could arrange a dinner with friends.

Zhou Yun started organizing the gathering.

She asked around one by one, and sure enough, everyone was here.

Zhou Yun sent Song Chi a message: I’ve invited Wen Xi, Gu Huaichun, Yin Zhou for dinner together. Are you coming over tonight?

Song Chi: Okay, I’ll come directly.

Zhou Yun sent an emoji of a small figure cheering "Yeah."

Song Chi sent back an emoji of a small figure patting another small figure’s head.

At the company, He Yong and Zhou Lan were both there.

"Let me see how your hand is." He Yong, moving faster than Zhou Lan, showed concern, "Is it healed?"

Zhou Yun couldn’t handle He Yong’s overwhelming concern, so she dodged to the side and said, "It’s almost healed, thank you for your concern, boss."

He Yong intentionally made a hurt expression and said, "Have you really started to dislike me?"

"President He, can’t we stop saying these things?" Zhou Yun replied with exasperation.

Zhou Lan laughed and teased He Yong, "President He, Xiao Yun just returned from abroad, so please stop teasing her. I remember I need to take Xiao Yun to try tomorrow’s gown."

He Yong: Fine, but since you’re back, I’ve booked the place for lunch. We must have lunch together at noon."

Zhou Yun wondered what was up with He Yong.

"Got it, we’ll follow your arrangements," Zhou Yun responded politely.

He Yong: Then it’s settled.

Zhou Yun went upstairs with Zhou Lan to try on dresses.

The gown for tomorrow’s Qingmu Award ceremony hadn’t been finalized yet.

Various major brands had proactively extended their invitations, hoping to partner with Zhou Yun for the red carpet gown this time.

Zhou Lan didn’t reject any of them, waiting for Zhou Yun to make her own decision after she returned.

Zhou Yun tried on dresses for two hours.

In the end, only dresses from V House, G House, and VX remained as options.

Zhou Lan said, "I personally lean towards this custom set from V House, it’s very elegant."

Zhou Yun nodded and said, "I agree, this black evening gown has a classic style and is very graceful."

Zhou Lan said, "V House told me this gown hasn’t been released yet. If you’re willing, you’ll be the first globally to wear it."

A globally first-worn haute couture dress is very precious for a top fashion brand.

V House’s willingness to offer it to Zhou Yun shows their intention to build a deeper relationship with her.

Zhou Yun’s collaboration with VX is enviable among all fashion brands.

And Zhou Yun is the ideal top celebrity every fashion brand desires to partner with.

As a young, beautiful actress with great personal style, charm, and robust professional skills, possessing international influence and recognition, Zhou Yun is an actress with virtually no shortcomings. Any brand that gets the chance to collaborate with her can greatly benefit.

Like before, whenever Zhou Yun wore a gown to an international red carpet, almost every outfit ended up trending online. Trending generated buzz; the key was that each dress she wore could spark interest, boost sales, and enhance the brand’s influence.
