Chapter 536: Chapter 525 Qiao Jing Wants to Cosplay as a Bunny Girl!

Qiao Jing was momentarily stupefied. She hadn’t expected Zhan Qipei to set his elevator passcode to her birthday.

She quickly regained her composure.

“Thank you.”

Just as the employee was about to take Miss Qiao over there, the reception desk phone started ringing.

A smile laced with apology spread across her face as she bowed to Miss Qiao.

“I’m sorry, Miss Qiao, the company is a bit busy today. Could you trouble yourself to go to the elevator?”

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows and nodded slightly.

“No need to escort me.”

To ride an elevator was a trivial matter; she wasn’t some pampered heiress that needed someone to accompany her for such a simple task.

The employee apologized several times in succession before hurriedly returning to the reception desk to answer the phone.

Qiao Jing took steps towards Zhan Qipei’s private elevator, brushing past several people in a hurry along the way.

The employees’ elevator was even more crowded; among them were several staff members dressed as anime characters.

Qiao Jing grew more puzzled and thought for a moment.

If she remembered correctly, this was called cosplay, role-playing, right?

But why would Zhan Corporation organize such an event?

Qiao Jing watched a few cosplay staff enter the elevator before withdrawing her gaze and stepping onto Zhan Qipei’s private elevator, ascending directly to the man’s office.

However, the office was empty at the time.

Qiao Jing placed the lunchbox and thermos she had brought on the table but didn’t call Zhan Qipei directly.

She could tell that Zhan Corporation was busy today, and Qipei was probably handling work or in a meeting at the moment.

After a silent two seconds, Qiao Jing opened the lunchbox, and by the time she finished her meal, Zhan Qipei still hadn’t returned to the office.

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows and glanced at the time.

It had been so long, yet Zhan Qipei still hadn’t returned, nor had he replied to her messages.

What exactly was keeping everyone at Zhan Corporation so occupied today?

Why were there employees playing cosplay?

Since when did Zhan Corporation get involved in these areas?

The whirl of perplexing thoughts in her mind left Qiao Jing utterly confounded. After tidying up the lunchbox, she stood up and left the office.

She decided to go downstairs to see if she could find Zhan Qipei so he could come back and eat, or else the soup would have cooled down completely, and, incidentally, witness firsthand what was keeping Zhan Corporation so busy.

Just as Qiao Jing stepped out of the elevator, a female staff member also dressed as an anime character approached her.

The staff member, in a rush, headed towards the employees’ elevator and was about to brush past Qiao Jing when she stopped in her tracks.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Qiao Jing, and she reached out to grab her wrist.

“You’re an employee here too, right? Our event today is one person short. Can you come and give us a hand? Just cosplay a character, that’s all.”

Qiao Jing’s brows furrowed, and just as she was about to refuse, she was met with the other’s pitiful expression.

The staff member clasped her hands together, praying.

“Please, please, which department are you from? Can I properly thank you later? I’ve not been with the company for long, and I’m in charge of this event. If I don’t do well, I’ll get fired. We are just missing the last person now…”

Qiao Jing hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to help.

“Alright.”

She actually didn’t want to get involved in any of this because she had never been exposed to anime before and didn’t know what character she was supposed to portray.

But she could tell that this female employee was very hardworking, and helping her meant helping Zhan Qipei’s Company, so she eventually agreed.

The employee showed a big smile, took Qiao Jing by the elevator, and headed to the tenth floor.

“Our company has recently expanded into a new field and wants to try anime production, so we are organizing some promotional photography. The production images have already been shot, but I’ve learned that having cosplay photos can attract the eyes of people who like the second dimension even more.”

Qiao Jing listened quietly to the employee’s introduction, understanding the general situation.

“So what character do I need to portray?”

“The character you’ll help us portray is… Sakura Mai Senior, and the cosplay is a bunny girl outfit…”

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, asking with a puzzled look:

“Bunny girl?”

Was this “bunny girl” the one she knew about?

It didn’t sound like a very normal outfit.

The employee nodded, took out a bag, and pulled out the costume that was needed.

“Yes, it’s this set, and don’t worry, this anime character is not what you’re thinking.”

She had specifically chosen Qiao Jing for this because her height was particularly suited to the anime character and could be authentic in portraying it.

After all, there were few girls in the company who were tall and slim, and more importantly, her face had an incredible beauty that would definitely help with the promotional photography.

However, she was a bit worried whether Qiao Jing’s figure could authentically represent the character because Qiao Jing was wearing a loose shirt and casual pants, making it impossible to discern her figure.

When Qiao Jing saw the black bunny ears headband, the sexy bodysuit, and the black stockings in the employee’s hands, her face instantly showed a trace of a frown.

“I have to wear this and take photos?”

The outfit was too exaggerated, and she was afraid she couldn’t accept it.

Moreover, she had never tried this style before; even when Zhan Nanqing had her dress as a man, she hadn’t found it this challenging.

Seeing Qiao Jing’s reluctance, the employee put her hands together again and looked at her with a pleading gaze.

“Just one shot, one is enough, I’m also in cosplay, rest assured that no one will look at you strangely for cosplaying an anime character, what we strive for is authenticity, don’t worry!”

Qiao Jing hesitated for a moment, her gaze landing on the cosplay outfit. She pursed her red lips, her eyebrows tightly knitted.

After a brief silence, she still decided to refuse.

“I’m sorry, please find someone else to help.”

The cosplay outfit was too sexy for her; she had never worn anything as sexy as this.

So she couldn’t accept it, especially since if Zhan Qipei came across her in this cosplay outfit, that man would surely get jealous.

Seeing Qiao Jing’s reaction, the employee immediately took off the white, slightly translucent jacket she was wearing.

“I’ll give you my jacket to wear. You can just take it off when you take the photo, just one picture is needed, please help out, there’s no one else in the company who fits the role as well as you do. If I don’t do this promotional event well, I’ll really get fired.”

Qiao Jing frowned deeply, her eyes shifting back and forth between the employee and the cosplay outfit.

Thinking that her decision could affect the employee’s job, she sighed and agreed.

“Alright, just one photo.”

After all, she had already promised to help, and the employee had taken off her jacket to give to her. She would feel a bit guilty if she didn’t agree.
