Chapter 328 New Orders

There are two days left until Madam Ling's birthday.

Yu Yu and Luo Shu were busy in the studio, while Yu Zhan's extended Lincoln was already parked outside.

Wearing white gloves, Yuan Xi and Yuan Nan carefully carried the gift boxes one by one to the car.

Yu Yuzheng was standing by the car, taking inventory. She hadn't taken off her apron yet. The hot summer breeze blew by, and the yellow-green leaves of the ginkgo tree in front of the door swayed above her head.

His neat short hair was already damp with sweat.

A neck fan was hanging around my neck, the wind blowing upwards from my neck, ruffling my hair, but it didn't cool me down at all.

The wind blowing is hot.

"No, I'll have to grow this hair out sooner or later, it's just too hot!" She fanned herself with her hand because of the heat.

Unbeknownst to her, a tall figure was standing near a large tree not far from the studio, staring intently at her.

It was almost noon by the time the inventory was finished.

Back in the courtyard, Luo Shu brought each of them a bowl of chilled mung bean soup.

“Some men came over here last night to cook this. After it was cooked, I let it cool down before putting it in the refrigerator to chill.” Luo Shu nudged Yu Yu’s arm.

"Otherwise, none of us would have the privilege of drinking it."

“Oh—” Yuan Xi and Yuan Nan looked at her with smiles.

Yu chuckled and leaned back in his chair to rest. No wonder it took him so long to get home last night; he'd been causing trouble here all this time.

"You should drink less, mung beans are cold," Yu Yu reminded Luo Shu.

Luo Shu brought out another bowl from the kitchen. "Your husband is so thoughtful. I'm drinking the red one."

Shen Yan also cooked red bean soup, but not much.

Yu Yu: "Central air conditioning."

Luo Shu: "Nuan, you're still not happy."

"Shu'er, there's a guest outside. We need to make the handover." Zhang Xin walked in from outside.

She originally wanted to call her Yu Yu, but seeing that she was covered in sweat, she called her Luo Shu instead.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Luo Shu put down the bowl in her hand.

Yu Yu hurriedly finished her mung bean soup and went upstairs to take a shower.

Luo Shu held the tablet handed to her by Zhang Xin. When she arrived, a woman in her forties was sitting elegantly on the sofa, looking at past issues of fashion magazines.

"Hello, Ms. Qiu." Luo Shu.

Ms. Qiu looked up slightly, smiled gently, and said, "Hello!"

Luo Shu was taken aback. Ms. Qiu's skin was well-maintained, comparable to Zhou Zhiyi and Luo Qiu, and there were no signs of youth on her face.

That smile was enough to leave a deep impression.

Ms. Qiu looked behind her and saw that she was the only one who came out, so she looked away.

Zhang Xin has already taken her measurements, and the information has been registered on the tablet.

Ms. Qiu's figure, like her temperament, is visibly beautiful, the kind of model figure that many designers dream of.

They sat on the sofa and discussed their requirements for the style of the clothes, and quickly made a decision.

The process took less than half an hour.

Luo Shu sighed, saying she would be willing to work with another stack of customers like that.

After talking with Ms. Qiu, I found that she was a gentle person with an extremely soft voice, and her demeanor and speech were very admirable.

Yu Yu was coming out of the backyard when he saw her off.

"Should we deliver it together? Or should you stay home?" Yu asked.

"Let's go together. Wait for me while I change my clothes."

She probably wouldn't have come out if it were an ordinary guest, but Madam Ling is their biggest patron.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Yu sat on the sofa.

Ms. Qiu, who had just been seen out, came back in.

"Hello," Yu Yu greeted him.

Ms. Qiu lingered on Yu Yu for several seconds, then forced a gentle smile. "Hello, are you also the person in charge of this studio?"

"Yes, you can come to me if you have any questions."

Ms. Qiu nodded and said, "I'd like to order another set. I heard from Boss Luo that she's on vacation and might not have time to design, so you'll be handling all my clothing, right?"

"right."

"Let's add each other on WeChat. I haven't decided what style I want yet, and I don't want to make an extra trip. Is that convenient for you?"

Yu smiled. She rarely saw a wealthy woman with such a comforting attitude, at least not arrogant.

“Of course.” She took out her phone, and the two added each other on WeChat.

Ms. Qiu left.

Luo Shu came out.

Yu watched her departing figure, amazed that someone could walk so gracefully.

"Oh, look, I'm so envious. If I still had this figure when I was in my forties or fifties, so many young men would be chasing after me."

Luo Shu raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Is Shen Yan treating you badly? Or have you just grown tired of his looks?"

"I hope Shen Yan takes good care of himself and doesn't end up like those fat, big-eared CEOs when he's in his forties or fifties. He should be magnanimous."

The two of them laughed out loud.

I got into the stretch Lincoln, and the car was almost overflowing with gift boxes.

Gan Chang'an drove in front, and Yuan Xi followed them out.

Madam Ling was once a wealthy heiress, and her dowry was enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

So when Mayor Ling took office, she did not abandon her old habits. Even though many people thought that the Ling family was rich for certain reasons, she still chose to be herself openly and honestly.

"Qiao Mu's sets are at the very back. Take them out separately and put them in different places when you get them later," Luo Shu instructed.

Yuanxi nodded.

"I heard that Yu Zhan sent Ling Chen on a business trip abroad, which happens to be in the same city as Xu Qiaomu. Do you think they might run into each other?"

Yu Yu started gossiping, "He took a picture of the logistics information at dawn when the last shipment was sent, so he probably already knows Xu Qiaomu's location. I wonder if he went to look for her."

“They’re ten years apart in age. It’s like an old cow eating young grass in the early morning – they don’t seem like a good match at all.” Luo Shu said.

Yu Yu looked at her and said, "Hey, not necessarily! Look at me and Shen Yan, I'm even older than Shen Yan, and we still got together."

“You’re just well-maintained,” Luo Shu said. “Ling Chen looks too mature, while Xu Qiaomu is so young. Standing together, they look like uncle and nephew.”

Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat similar.

The two smiled.

The group chatted idly in the car and soon arrived at the Ling family's residence.

Madam Ling had already arranged for Xu Can to go and wait with several servants.

Yu Yu and Luo Shu got out of the car. Yuan Xi and Xu Can exchanged some instructions, and then the servants carried the gift boxes inside one by one.

"Please come inside and have a seat. Madam has prepared afternoon tea for you." A maid led Luo Shu and Yu Yu inside.

Xu Can glanced at Luo Shu's retreating figure, then looked away and continued working.

Yuan Xi and Xu Can took the clothes inside and conducted a final inspection, taking each item out for verification after unpacking.

Madam Ling trusted them, so after looking at a few of the outfits, she left the dressing room, leaving the rest to Xu Can to inspect.

"How is your mother? I can't seem to get in touch with her lately," Madam Ling asked Luo Shu.

After Luo Zhen passed away, Luo Qiu rarely went out. Since she didn't go out, Zhou Zhiyi didn't want to go out either.

Madam Ling and Zhou Zhiyi became lovers, and later, with Luo Qiu joining them, the three of them gradually became closer.

In addition, Madam Ling was very satisfied with Luo Shu's design, and they gradually began to have more in common.
