"Huahua." After finally serving the guests with Hua Jin, Tan Yuan was exhausted. She sat down next to Hua Jin, leaning on her shoulder and said weakly, "That old lady just now scolded us for being so heartless and rotten-hearted. We sold a few pieces of cloth with a few threads on them for such a high price, and you were able to reason with her with a smile. I'm really impressed..."

"There are all kinds of people in life. If we quarrel with her, we will lose." Hua Jin looked at the photos on the phone screen and sighed, "If the matter gets out of hand, people who don't know the situation may think that we are self-righteous and use the sentiment of traditional craftsmanship to deceive people. The more famous our studio is, the more people will associate our words and deeds with the traditional embroidery industry. So for the sake of the vast traditional handmade embroidery industry, we should endure it if we can."

"Besides..." Hua Jin laughed secretly, "Didn't a customer just take a picture of that guest being rude and mean? As a person, you should always look at the long term. Sometimes, you should never speak without thinking."

Tan Yuan turned his face away: "Last time someone came to you for trouble and gave you money to cheat Mr. Pei, you didn't behave like this."

"How can it be the same? Last time, I was the only one who lost face. This time, we cannot let our embroidery industry lose face. Keeping public and private affairs separate and bearing humiliation is my good character." Hua Jin stood up and poured a glass of water for Tan Yuan. "Don't praise me too much. I'm shy."

"I never thought you would be so shameless." Tan Yuan was amazed. "You just can't bear to see others harm your handsome man, but you find so many high-sounding excuses. It's really...tsk tsk tsk."

Hua Jin held her face in her hands and chuckled, then patted Tan Yuan with the pillow on the sofa.

"Hey, hey, hey, you started fighting over a disagreement. Before yesterday, we were good sisters who would stick together through life and death. Now that Mr. Pei has intervened, I have been reduced to being silenced." Tan Yuan put her hand on the pillow, "My heart aches so much."

"You're such a naughty boy. I was planning to treat you to a nice dinner when it's not too busy, but it seems like you don't need it anymore."

"No, no, no, Huahua, you are a peerless beauty, and you and Mr. Pei are a perfect match. For ordinary people like me, a good meal is still very important." Tan Yuan hugged Hua Jin's arm, "I love you, muah."

"Don't love me anymore. I've changed my mind." Hua Jin turned her head away in disgust. "Who told me to forget my friends for the sake of beauty?"

"Who is talking nonsense? Our Huahua is obviously beautiful and kind-hearted, and she treats her friends the best." Tan Yuan smiled, "As your best sister, I can testify to this."

The two of them laughed together. Tan Yuan held the cup with a satisfied smile: "Huahua, seeing you and Mr. Pei are so happy together, I am actually very happy for you."

Pursing her lips, Hua Jin lowered her head and said with a smile: "I thought you would remind me that Pei Yan is a rich man and not to be fooled by him."

"Although... I do have this worry, whether a man is good or bad cannot be measured entirely by money. I don't know Mr. Pei, nor do I know your relationship. Talking about whether it's a lie or not, whether it's suitable or not, is all disrespectful to your feelings." Tan Yuan gently held Hua Jin's hand, "As long as you can be happy in this relationship, it's fine. No matter what the future holds, I will always be your little sister, and my home is your home too."

Hua Jin looked at Tan Yuan and smiled: "Yeah."

"Of course, if you and Mr. Pei succeed, I will also have successfully embraced the thigh of a wealthy lady." Tan Yuan said with a smile, "In order for me to embrace the thigh of a wealthy family, I also wish you and Mr. Pei a happy marriage and a happy life."

Huahua doesn't know that when she was with Mr. Pei, she was like a carefree girl. The more I know about Huahua's past, the more I hope she can live a happy life.

"It's okay. Even if I can't marry into a wealthy family in the future, I will work hard to become one so that you can embrace me." Hua Jin patted Tan Yuan's shoulder, smiling so much that her cheeks turned pink.

"Okay." Tan Yuan stood up and put a ball of embroidery thread into Hua Jin's hand. "Come on, let's work hard for our future."

"We share happiness and difficulties." Hua Jin dragged Tan Yuan to sit next to another embroidery frame, "If you don't practice embroidery skills, I'm afraid you won't even be able to hold a needle in the future."

"You know that I really have no talent in embroidery. Lacquerware is more interesting." Tan Yuan sat next to the embroidery frame and only dared to do the most basic embroidery work on some patterns. Other tasks that tested needlework could only be left to Hua Jin.

"I'm quite surprised that you and Mr. Pei are a couple. It feels like there was no sign..."

Hua Jin tilted her head to look at her, with a complicated smile, and whispered: "Maybe, it's a gift from fate."

"What?" Tan Yuan didn't hear clearly.

"Maybe it's my beauty that makes him unable to extricate himself." Hua Jin pulled out a strand of colored thread, passed the thread through the eye of the needle, and her eyes moved like the changing stars, so beautiful that Tan Yuan was stunned for a moment.

She nodded blankly. A woman with such a pair of charming eyes would be liked not only by men but also by her.

Pei Yan did not check Hua Jin's circle of friends until the end of the meeting. After the meeting, he checked the time and saw that it was time for lunch, so he dialed Hua Jin's number without hesitation.

When the call was connected, he ignored the consultant team following behind him and asked directly: "Have you had lunch?"

"Did you beautify the photo you took this morning? Send it to me after you've fixed it."

"Photos?" Hua Jin took the fast food box from the delivery boy. "I was busy serving customers in the store this morning and forgot to fix it."

"Oh." Pei Yan was a little depressed. "Then you should eat early. I'm hanging up now."

Putting the food on the table, Hua Jin saw that the call was not over yet: "Didn't you say you were hanging up?"

"You hang up first." Pei Yan got into the car. The driver saw him talking on the phone and had to look at the assistant. Where is Mr. Pei going?

"Let's go to the restaurant first, and then to the charity center. Mr. Pei wants to personally see how the money he donated is used this afternoon." The assistant whispered, "Don't drive too fast."

The driver nodded. Mr. Pei didn't need him as a driver at ordinary times. He could only show his ability when he went out to discuss work. He received a high salary every month, and he was always worried that one day Mr. Pei would suddenly tell him that he didn't need a driver anymore.

"Why do I have to hang up first?" Hua Jin couldn't open the fast food box with one hand, so Tan Yuan, who was sitting next to her, diligently opened the lid for her and put the chopsticks in her hand.

"Ladies first." Pei Yan would never admit the fact that he was reluctant to hang up the phone.

"Okay, then I'll hang up and go eat." Hua Jin chuckled and hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Pei Yan stared at the phone for two seconds: "Huh."

"I've been eating takeout a lot lately, and everything tastes the same to me." Tan Yuan saw Hua Jin still playing with her phone, "Stop playing, it's not good for your eyes to play with your phone while eating."

"I'll post a message to my friends." Hua Jin put away her phone. Although Pei Yan was being awkward and said nothing, she had already guessed his intention.

Isn't it just that he wants her to show off her boyfriend in the circle of friends and satisfy him?

"What did you post that made you smile so rudely?" Tan Yuan's curiosity was piqued, and he opened his phone to check his Moments.

"Wow, Huahua, your display of affection is so annoying."

Fanhua: He said he didn't send me flowers yesterday, but today he sent so many. The store can't hold them all. It's really frustrating. [Photo]

"I think your wording is too much like that of a female supporting role." Tan Yuan, who was full of dog food, threw his phone aside. "The female lead wouldn't do such a thing."

"Well, I want to be the overbearing president's white moonlight and the heroine's heart thorn." Hua Jin raised the corner of her mouth and said, "It's also good to let such a man remember me for a lifetime."

"If you have the ability to spend your whole life with a man like this, that's the highest level of Bai Yueguang." Tan Yuan was stunned for a moment, then joked, "Our sister Hua is so talented and beautiful, it's not a big deal for Mr. Pei to be obsessed with you for a lifetime, right?"

Hua Jin smiled at her and said, "If you have the energy to gossip about these things, why don't you learn to embroider double-sided different-color embroidery with me this afternoon?"

Tan Yuan: “…”

Haha, woman.

After finishing her meal, Hua Jin put away her lunch box and threw it into the trash can to prevent the whole store from being filled with the smell of food.

Just after throwing away the garbage, a gray-haired old man walked towards her and said, "Little girl, I heard there is an embroidery shop nearby. Which direction should I go?"

Seeing the old man's face clearly, Hua Jin's smile became more sincere: "Uncle, are you talking about Fanhua Studio?"

A few months ago, she went to a former colleague's wedding. After coming out, she was allergic to catkins, and her eyes were red and her nose was blocked. She looked very embarrassed. When passing by the artificial lake, she not only met Pei Yan, but also an elderly couple who thought she was going to jump into the lake to commit suicide. The couple was worried that she would jump into the fox after they left, so they personally sent her to the taxi.

The old man in front of her was the elder of the couple. She didn't expect to meet him again after such a long time. Although the old man didn't remember her, Hua Jin was still happy.

"Yes, that seems to be the name." The old man nodded, "Girl, do you know the place?"

"I am one of the owners of this shop. Please follow me. The shop is not far ahead." Hua Jin walked up the steps, turned around, helped the old man, pushed open the door and said, "Uncle, please sit down first. I will bring you the album and you can take your time to pick out what you like."

"No, I want to buy something." The old man took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket, "I want to order a pair of embroidered shoes, the soles need to be softer, can they be made here?"

"Of course." Hua Jin said, "Do you have any requirements for the embroidery pattern? And what is the shoe size?"

"I brought her shoe prints here." The old man handed the paper to Hua Jin. "The old woman in my family has very big feet. When she was young, she couldn't wear even slightly fancy women's shoes. Now she is in her seventies or eighties, and she still envies the beautiful shoes of the heroines in TV dramas."

The old man's mouth was full of disdain, but his eyes were smiling: "She loves to be coquettish even when she's old, and I can't do anything about it. The shoes she ordered from the shoemaker are not good-looking, so I came here to ask if you can make me a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes, so that I can take them back to shut her up and stop her from nagging every day at home."

"Okay." Hua Jin nodded with a smile and unfolded the paper with the shoe prints drawn on it. The shoe prints were drawn very clearly and were indeed wide enough to look like a man's foot.

"When we were young, I was pulling boats outside to raise our children, and she worked hard in the village to earn work points. She was so tired that her feet became deformed. When you make shoes, you must follow the shoe pattern I drew, otherwise her feet will be uncomfortable wearing them." The old man took the paper and pointed to a few places, "Don't make it too small or too short here. She has been with me all her life, and I don't want her to wrongly accuse me of making things difficult for her when she is old."

"Okay." Hua Jin nodded repeatedly, "Please rest assured, I will make the embroidered shoes comfortable and beautiful."

"Okay, thank you, young lady." The old man smiled with satisfaction and looked up at the embroidery in the shop. "These things are so beautifully embroidered. The young girl is really amazing at such a young age."

"Thank you for the compliment." Hua Jin made some tea for the old man and handed it to him: "Uncle, you live quite far from here, right? Sit down and rest for a while, and I'll call a car to take you back."

"It's quite far. I found your store when I was watching TV. In order to give the old woman a surprise, I specially chose to come when she was traveling with her old friends." The old man waved his hand and said, "I can call a taxi myself. How can I trouble you?"

"No problem, I'll call on my cell phone, it's very convenient." Hua Jin picked out a few pairs of ready-made embroidered shoes with patterns that meant longevity and health from the album, and showed them to the old man, "Take a look, which ones do you like?"

"They are all beautiful. My wife will definitely like them." The old man looked at them carefully several times and pointed to a pair of phoenixes wearing peonies. "This one is bright red and green. She likes these things now. I can't stop her."

"This pattern is good, it means wealth and peace." Hua Jin noted the pattern, stood up and took out a small box containing a blessing bag from the cabinet, "Uncle, this is a gift from me to you and Auntie. I wish you two good health and longevity."

"That won't do. I'm here to buy things, why should I take your things first?" The old man waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I'm old, I can't take advantage of you young people."

"These are just little gadgets I made in my spare time. They are not worth much." Hua Jin smiled. "You forgot that a few months ago, I was allergic to catkins and it was you and Auntie who sent me to the taxi."

"You..." The old man stared at Hua Jin for a long time before he said uncertainly, "Are you the little girl with red eyes by the lake a few months ago?" No wonder she knew that she lived far away from here.

"Yes, it's me." Hua Jin knew that the two elders had misunderstood that she wanted to commit suicide, but it had been so long since the incident, so she didn't need to explain it again. However, she remembered the kindness of the two elders. She put the box in the old man's hand and said, "It's a rare fate, so please accept it."

The old man looked at the shop, then at Hua Jin, and remembered that the TV program had praised the shop owner for his kindness. He nodded happily and said, "Good, good, good, as long as the young people are willing to live a good life."

He opened the lid of the box, and inside were two lucky bags, with the words "blessing" and "longevity" embroidered on the front and back, and a flying crane embroidered on the front.

Cranes symbolize longevity, and it can be seen that this little girl put a lot of thought into it.

"Thank you." This time he didn't refuse and put the box away.

"You're welcome." Hua Jin said with a smile, "Wait until I finish the embroidered shoes that Auntie likes, then you can thank me later."

The old man said yes repeatedly and praised Hua Jin again. After Hua Jin called a car and sent the old man to the car, she opened her phone and found that her circle of friends was boiling. Countless people liked her latest circle of friends and there were also many comments.

Friend A: Wow, my dear sister Hua, you really got that handsome golden thigh?

Friend B: We agreed to be single together, but you secretly have a boyfriend. I don’t want a friend like you.

Friend C: What I see is not a room full of flowers, but a room full of money. How much does it cost to have so many different kinds of precious flowers? ! Don't forget your friends when you become rich.

Friend Ding: Wow, the flowers are so beautiful. Congratulations to Huamei for escaping the ranks of single people.

Pei: Humph.

Seeing Pei Yan's "humph", Hua Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fanhua replied to Pei: Muah, I give you a heart.

"Bang." Pei Yan, who was eating, threw his cell phone onto the table.

"Mr. Pei, what's wrong?" The assistant looked at him worriedly.

"It's okay, my hand slipped." Pei Yan picked up the phone.

This woman is so indecent.

The author has something to say: Pei Yan: Please tell me, how can I get my girlfriend to show off our love on WeChat Moments more often? Waiting online, urgent!
