The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 29

Shen Tangxi was genuinely curious about how Yu Xingyu and Jiang Zhi came up with such an idea.

Their thoughts were surprisingly similar, and equally unhealthy.

Now with Jiang Zhi’s addition, Yu Xingyu’s ideas were even more abundant. Together, they would probably come up with strange and unconventional suggestions.

Shen Tangxi needed to find a way to make the two of them abstain from lust, calm their minds, and stop having these unhealthy thoughts.

“You two need to be serious. How do you always come up with these weird suggestions? I really don’t know what color is in your brains.”

Yu Xingyu immediately shook her head and said: “Sister, how is this a strange suggestion? This is my sincere suggestion, a heartfelt suggestion! It’s because Sister’s beauty is too great that I can’t help but think this way. I am genuinely expressing my feelings. There’s probably no one more sincere than me! Sister, please agree.”

Jiang Zhi also agreed: “Sister, just agree to her request. I believe the fans will be extremely excited when they see it.”

“Fine, only once. Don’t let it happen again.”

Shen Tangxi finally agreed to kiss the photo with Yu Xingyu. However, after actually doing it, she realized how awkward the scene was. Separated by only the thin sheet of paper, she clearly felt each other’s breathing and scent.

Yu Xingyu’s eyes were very bright, seeming to hold a brilliant galaxy, filled with endless romance and deep affection.

Her gaze was gentle, clearly reflecting Shen Tangxi’s face, showing such affection and care.

It was a gaze that was completely focused on her. It was impossible not to be immersed in such a look.

Shen Tangxi felt her breathing quicken. The moment she leaned in, although she felt she was kissing the photo, the thin paper easily allowed her to feel the touch of the other’s lips, their warmth, and rapid breathing.

Every moment tugged at her heart. Her body suddenly went soft.

Yu Xingyu embraced her waist, wanting her Sister’s body to lean into her arms, bringing the two of them even closer.

Jiang Zhi was extremely excited and quickly took pictures of the scene with her camera.

She couldn’t stop smiling. This photo was too sweet.

How could they be so happy? I’m so happy!

“Cousin, one more kiss! I’ll change the style for the next shot. Be more intimate! Since we’re filming, we have to aim for the best. To satisfy the fans, the intimacy level needs to be even bigger.” ??

Was this not intimate enough?

Shen Tangxi realized Jiang Zhi’s demands were getting higher and higher, but what she said was correct. Since they agreed to film, they had to aim for the best.

She was inherently a very dedicated professional, only a bit shy and conservative in nature. But now that she was filming, she had to achieve perfection.

Thinking this, she used her slender, pale fingers to gently undo a few buttons on her shirt, revealing the delicate skin underneath. The glimpse of cleavage inside the seductive neckline was almost breathtaking.

The shirt slid down, exposing her pale skin. It was smooth and delicate, like pure white jade under the moonlight. Its translucent texture was like a peeled lychee, fragrant and inviting. At this moment, her stunning beauty was at its peak.

Yu Xingyu’s grip gradually tightened, her heartbeat quickened, and her gaze, fixed on Shen Tangxi, grew more fascinated and loving.

The little puppy’s eyes were moist, looking especially adorable and tempting. She obediently nestled against Shen Tangxi, trying to inhale her scent, and couldn’t help but kiss her Sister’s lips again with deep fondness.

Jiang Zhi felt like she was going insane witnessing this. She suppressed the urge to scream. Who could understand her feelings right now?

(Spinning, jumping, I closed my eyes… Aaaah, aaah, aaah!)

She genuinely, desperately wanted to rush over and move a bed for them. It was too big a waste without a bed.

No other fans would get this kind of treatment. She was so happy.

(Inhaling oxygen) (Pinching her philtrum)

(Ah, this is so stimulating!)

If she had known this job was so good, she would have come here much earlier.

Shen Tangxi felt the little puppy’s rain of kisses. Although the initial kisses were through the photo, the photo somehow fell to the floor, and Yu Xingyu directly kissed her lips.

Yu Xingyu, her cheeks slightly flushed from residual heat, touched her face and reluctantly pulled away from her Sister’s lips, apologizing.

“I’m sorry, Sister. I kissed you by accident.”

“…”

Was that really by accident?

Shen Tangxi didn’t doubt for a second that this was the puppy’s scheming.

But seeing her innocent eyes made her unable to scold her.

After the photo shoot.

Shen Tangxi’s clothing was slightly disheveled. Yu Xingyu helped her tidy up and gently supported her to stand up.

Jiang Zhi was now completely satisfied. She said to Yu Xingyu: “Cousin Xingyu, when the first batch of navel rings is finished, you must save one for me first. I must be the first one to get it.”

Yu Xingyu nodded. The design work was mostly finished and required some time for production. However, her brand insisted on pure handmade customization, so the production cycle was slow. This batch of navel rings had a smaller shape, making them easier to produce than other jewelry, so it wouldn’t take too long.

Seventy artisan jewelers made 1,000 navel rings a week later.

However, these were all for sale.

Yu Xingyu personally made a few extra pieces for gifting: one each for Shen Tangxi, Jiang Zhi, Zhou Sisi, and one for herself.

Although this product was originally inspired by the navel ring, it was actually designed as an earring or could be worn as a decorative stud in any location. It wouldn’t be overly niche and would be very popular as everyday jewelry.

But when Jiang Zhi saw that Yu Xingyu’s studio only produced one thousand pieces, she was stunned.

“Cousin, do you know how many fans you have? This isn’t enough to meet demand! They’ll sell out in minutes! Why can’t you mass-produce tens of thousands of pieces for sale? That would be more reasonable.”

In fact, even if tens of thousands were sold, many people still wouldn’t be able to buy them. It’s impossible to spend money on them! She couldn’t imagine the chaos. Fans would surely cause a huge fuss, and the situation would be unmanageable.

Yu Xingyu patiently explained: “The Starry Sky brand is not about mass production. It’s about pure handmade custom jewelry. Even if we hurry, we can’t match machine production volume, so we can’t mass-produce. This is already considered very fast. I’ve been hiring as many people as possible.”

“Cousin Xingyu, why are you so stubborn? You should take advantage of your high popularity to make more money! And only if sales go up will you gain recognition. Then you can open dedicated counters and sell in major shopping malls. That’s how you ensure a promising future.”

“We can set up counters, but customers still have to pre-order to get the products. High-end luxury brands are ‘high-end’ precisely because they aren’t easy to buy. While mass production can bring in a lot of money, the brand won’t develop. Once time passes, consumers will only remember the brand owner made quick money, and they won’t remember any unique features or advantages of the brand.”

Jiang Zhi understood her point.

But she was filled with surprise and respect. She herself wouldn’t be able to think like Yu Xingyu; if she were in her position, she would probably find a way to make quick money.

Yu Xingyu’s approach was indeed better for the brand’s development. Only by having a limited supply, making it hard to buy, would the style leave a lasting impression.

Over time, it would become a memorable brand, growing into a classic in the eyes of the public.

Yu Xingyu’s mindset was truly rare.

“Alright. From today onwards, we will hold a pre-sale event online. We won’t sell the navel ring directly but will sell VIP Cards. Only by purchasing a VIP Card can customers book and buy the jewelry. Actually, I think we can implement a tiered consumption model: customers must spend over one million yuan to buy the next stage of high-end jewelry.”

“Jiang Zhi is a business genius! Her suggestion is very useful, Xingyu. You should seriously consider it.”

Shen Tangxi genuinely agreed with the idea.

If her aunt found out her daughter was this clever, she would be delighted.

Yu Xingyu nodded. She needed to design a high-end jewelry line using precious gems and materials. She hadn’t considered it before because it was too expensive, but now she had money and was attracting high-end consumers, so that worry was gone.

That evening, Jiang Zhi posted the new product’s teaser video—the intimate footage they had recorded earlier—and it immediately caused a sensation online.

The operation of bundling the couple’s waist-hugging video with the lip-print signed photos was happening simultaneously.

Shen Tangxi’s stunning waist was adorned with the navel ring, a scene previously unimaginable.

The conservative, aloof movie queen changing so drastically drove fans completely crazy. They would skip dinner to rush to the shopping app and grab the VIP brand shopping card.

Although the Starry Sky brand required customers to buy a card first and then the product, making it much more cumbersome than buying other jewelry.

Everyone seemed to have a deep-seated feeling: the harder it was to buy, the fewer people would own it, and the consumers who managed to get the product would always feel superior.

So, despite the tedious process, a large number of people frantically pre-ordered. Many even used advanced technology to secure a place in the queue.

Tens of thousands of people pre-ordered before the official sale even began.

Jiang Zhi was shocked by the pre-order numbers and nervously rubbed her face. If the fans knew there were only 1,000 pieces, they would surely cause an uproar.

But there was nothing she could do. Whoever got it got it. Those who missed out would have to wait for the next 1,000 pieces the following week.

She didn’t know how long it would take to sell out, given the demand from tens of thousands of people.

However, once these fans bought the VIP card, they became potential customers of the Starry Sky brand and could buy other products later without needing to pre-order again, simply placing an order directly.

When the scheduled sales time arrived.

As expected, the 30,000 VIP Gold Cards sold out in less than a minute.

The next step in the VIP purchase process required entering an encrypted verification code to book the jewelry. When the fans realized there were only 1,000 diamond navel rings, they instantly broke down.

A one in ten thousand chance of buying! The majority were cursing and angry online.

【Fuck! Only a thousand pieces? Are you kidding me?】

【My pants are burning from the friction! You’re telling me it’s sold out?!】

【Are you serious? If you can’t handle the demand, don’t play this game! Who are you trying to fool by selling a thousand pieces?】

【Who bought my navel ring?! I want the same one XiXi has! Wuwuwu, contact me for a high-priced resale!】

The scarcity immediately caused an uncontrolled frenzy online.

Jiang Zhi, as the head of the fan community, could not let this happen. Fans needed to be managed. They were just calmed down by the last waist-exposing video, and now they were angry again. That was a serious PR crisis.

Every fan who left meant one less supporter in the future.

Among the tens of thousands of fans, there might be talented individuals and people with influential backgrounds.

So, fans could not be offended. The situation had to be controlled.

Jiang Zhi wiped the sweat from her brow, thinking that her two cousins were too arrogant, and she was the one who had to clean up the mess.

They definitely had to compensate her well for managing this situation. A special treat was definitely needed.

She was absolutely going to ask them for a perk.

But the immediate priority was to appease the fans.

Jiang Zhi created several Weibo groups of 2,000 members each, gathering the fans who had purchased the VIP Cards but missed out on the 1,000 navel rings.

The VIP Cards were expensive, costing about 10,000 yuan each. These people spent the money but couldn’t buy the jewelry, making them furious.

At this point, Jiang Zhi stepped in to offer them exclusive benefits that others didn’t have.

【Does the Group Admin really have benefits? What benefits?】

【Is the Admin a staff member of the team? Your identity is questionable.】

Jiang Zhi: “I am just a fan of Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu who knows the team staff. I truly apologize for this incident. From what I understand internally, it’s because Starry Sky Jewelry is purely handmade, making the production cycle slow. They didn’t anticipate so many people would buy it and are already speeding up production. Actually, your main goal is still to see the two of them interact, right? After all, purchasing a certain amount unlocks videos and autographs. But Starry Sky Jewelry has a limited number of autographs. Even if they sold more, it wouldn’t satisfy all the fans. If they secure more endorsements, everyone will have more chances to see their interactions.”

Jiang Zhi knew the fans’ minds perfectly. The goal of the fan rush was to get the lip-print autographs and unlock the interactive videos, wasn’t it? Although the jewelry designs were good, the fans primarily wanted the signed photos at first.

They weren’t short on money; they just wanted to support their idols and contribute to their career.

So, if they secured more endorsements, this issue would naturally subside.

A fan in the group quickly said:

【How can we get them more endorsements? The orange juice commercial and the sunscreen commercial were so engaging! I really want to see more. Please, let’s crowdfund to film commercials for them! I love watching them.】

【It should be a commercial where they have physical contact and intimate chemistry, wuwuwu. The more stimulating, the better! I wish there was a sugar daddy brand to make this happen for us.】

Jiang Zhi took advantage of the chaos and said in the chat group: “If someone could hire them to film a fitness commercial—for fitness products, or fitness equipment—anything! I really want to see Yu Xingyu do push-ups over Shen Tangxi (covers mouth)! That would be so stimulating.”

AAAh, I’m drooling! I want to see it so bad.

Maybe I should ask my mom to open a fitness product company and hire the two of them. It’s better to keep the money in the family!

This comment made other fans imagine the scene.!!!

【AAAh, the Admin is right! We need a fitness commercial! We want to see dual push-ups!】

【AAAh, they could also film them doing sit-ups where their bodies lift up and they kiss!】
