Because of one sentence, "She's back," Jian Ruo Xi's three-year marriage came to an end.
Fortunately, with the help of her sister-in-law, she quickly made a comeback and becam...
Yu Qi suppressed his temper and said to Xu Tong, "Miss, since you are not satisfied no matter what, I can design one for you, but you will need to pay a deposit."
"How much is the deposit?" Xu Tong asked casually.
Yu Qi originally said this only to discourage Xu Tong. In his opinion, Xu Tong was just someone who had nothing better to do and came to the store to cause trouble. She might not actually buy anything. However, since she asked, he needed to raise the price a little.
"Eight hundred thousand," Yu Qi stated, revealing his desired price.
Xu Tong said "Okay" without even blinking.
This was beyond Yu Qi's expectations. He had thought that the price would deter Xu Tong, but he didn't expect her to agree.
"However, I have one condition," Xu Tong stated his request.
Yu Qi asked, "Of course."
“If I’m not satisfied, you have to change it according to my expectations. The deposit wasn’t paid for nothing.” Xu Tong said each word carefully, afraid that Yu Qi might miss something.
Both parties reached an agreement. Yu Qi added Xu Tong's contact information, made some changes to the dress, and submitted the first draft to her.
"No, your waist is too thin, and your whole torso is too long, making me look too short," Xu Tong complained.
Yu Qi had no choice but to continue making changes.
Two more versions were revised and handed to Xu Tong, and as expected, this auntie found fault with them.
Yu Qi was so angry that he threw the manuscript on the ground. "What a crazy woman! I've never been this difficult to please when I designed for top-tier celebrities abroad. I must have been blind to think she wouldn't buy it."
Jian Ruoxi picked up the manuscript from the ground: "This is already perfect. What does she want?"
When Yu Qi returned to the studio from the store, he complained to Jian Ruoxi about it. Jian Ruoxi even offered him advice and helped him revise the manuscript from a female perspective.
However, Xu Tong was never satisfied. Only when it came to the final draft did Xu Tong reluctantly nod and approve Yu Qi's design.
Only then did they hand the design over to the clothing store for cutting. After it was finished, Xu Tong started to make things difficult for Yu Qi again, saying, "I am a fan of Jian Ruoxi. It is because of her that I came to your store to order clothes. I need to see her in person before I pay the balance."
Yu Qi explained, "Jian Ruoxi is already pregnant. Isn't it a bit difficult for you to ask her to come over like this?"
"I've been his loyal fan for so many years, through highs and lows, always by his side with his millions of dollars worth of dresses. Can't I even see her once?" Xu Tong humbled herself.
However, she did this to put psychological pressure on Yu Qi. As a fan, it's not unreasonable for him to spend millions to meet a celebrity in person.
If he makes a big fuss about this and posts it online, it will have a negative impact on Jian Ruoxi herself, and their brand will be difficult to operate in the future.
Yu Qi had no choice but to say, "I'll ask for you."
"Thank you." Xu Tong's face showed a joyful expression, as if she really was Jian Ruoxi's fan for many years.
Jian Ruoxi was resting when she heard the news. Because of her pregnancy, she felt unwell all over, couldn't sleep well at night, and couldn't rest properly during the day.
However, in order to maintain the brand's image, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and endure the discomfort to come to the store.
As soon as she entered the store, Xu Tong walked up to Jian Ruoxi, took her hand and said, "Sister, I'm so happy to finally meet you!"
Jian Ruoxi awkwardly let her grab her, "I don't know if you're satisfied with this outfit. Yu Qi and I put a lot of effort into it."
While Jian Ruoxi was speaking, Xu Tong looked her up and down. Jian Ruoxi was indeed beautiful, but in Xu Tong's eyes she was just an actress.
So I secretly complained about her, saying that besides her face, what else could she compare to me?
However, on the surface, she maintained a friendly demeanor: "I definitely like the design you created, but could you let me try it on?"
Xu Tong's eyes were smiling, but the coldness in them was directed straight at Jian Ruoxi.
Jian Ruoxi explained to her, "Miss Xu's clothes today were designed based on your three-dimensional measurements, so I can't wear them. Besides, they were specially made for you, and no one else can try them on."
"But isn't 'customer first' your store's principle?" Xu Tong challenged her.
Even now, Jian Ruoxi patiently explained to her, "Ms. Xu, if you have trouble paying and don't want this dress, we'll keep the deposit, and you won't need to pay the balance."
Jian Ruoxi was mocking her for pretending to be a big shot when she couldn't afford the clothes and was nitpicking.
Xu Tong yelled at her, "What do you mean? Did I pay money to come to your store to suffer?"
From the beginning until now, Xu Tong has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Jian Ruoxi to lose her temper, so that she can seize the opportunity to shirk responsibility.
Jian Ruoxi asked her, "You're the one who wanted to order this dress, and now you're the one who doesn't want to try it on."
But Xu Tong wouldn't listen. She shouted loudly in the store, "Is this your service attitude? Is the service attitude of your haute couture brand really this bad?"
This drew the attention of others, and Yu Qi stepped in to mediate: "Hello, Ms. Xu, Ms. Jian has been feeling unwell during her pregnancy recently, so I hope you won't make things too difficult for her."
"Our fitting room is right behind here. Why don't you go with our staff and try it on first? If you really don't like it, we'll consider how to resolve the issue," Yu Qi kindly advised.
Only then did Xu Tong agree: "Okay."
While trying on clothes, Xu Tong was the only one in the fitting room. She said to the sales assistant, "Go out and get me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst."
When the waiter left, she secretly took the ring out of her pocket and quickly stuffed it into the dressing room.
When the waiter came in again, she criticized him, "So slow."
After taking two sips, he handed the cup to the other person and asked her to help him tie the straps at the back.
Standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself, Xu Tong was somewhat dissatisfied: "It doesn't look good, much worse than I expected."
Yu Qi showed her the previous drafts: "Ms. Xu, these are all proposals that you approved and rejected. The last one is the final draft."
"If you're still not satisfied..."
"Ah," before Yu Qi could finish speaking, Xu Tong uttered a shrill sound: "My ring is lost."
The people in the store were stunned.
"They just came out of the dressing room and disappeared," Xu Tong questioned them.
Jian Ruoxi comforted her, "Miss Xu, don't worry, we'll help you look for it."
“Help me? No need,” Xu Tong said, then picked up her phone and dialed the police: “Hello, I’m currently at a high-end boutique on Jian’an Street. I’ve lost my ring and need your help.”
Just minutes after hanging up the phone, the police rushed to the scene. Xu Tong did indeed have some connections, and the police took everyone back to the police station.
