Ji Wanmei, naturally beautiful and graceful, was the factory director's daughter. At eighteen, she was admitted to the provincial university. With her braids and floral skirt, her waist swaying...
Chapter 427
After attending Paris Fashion Week in France, Ji Wanmei returned to China with her husband and daughter.
This overseas study trip also gave her an idea.
Foreign countries have their own design brands and hold fashion exhibitions every year. China also has so many ethnic and traditional clothing styles, so why can't we also hold our own fashion exhibitions?
Perhaps the Chinese people are not yet aware of this, or perhaps there is no one to take the lead in organizing the event.
Oriental Charm is now a well-known clothing brand and enterprise in China.
Whether it's fashion, casual wear, sportswear, or its high-end handcrafted and bridal collections, it has achieved considerable recognition.
As the founder, Ji Wanmei has every right to have the influence to organize a fashion week.
Currently, Oriental Charm has branches in Shanghai and Beijing. Ji Wanmei thought for a moment and decided that Shanghai, as an international fashion capital, could be the venue for the fashion week.
Create a design exhibition and fashion show for their exclusive brand, showcasing the charm of the East.
At that time, we will invite more tall and well-built young women to serve as models for the brand's designs.
To take a recent example, many of the sales staff at Ji Wanmei's company were required to have a good image and temperament when they applied for the job.
Among them are many tall, good-looking, and stylish clothing store employees who are also great at showcasing the style of the clothes.
Since we're going to hold a fashion week, besides inviting professional models, we can also keep the profits within the family and use our own people.
Ji Wanmei planned to use this as a showcase opportunity to have each city's stores select a salesperson with a good image and temperament to come to the Shanghai branch for catwalk training, and then perform on stage with professional models.
This plan and idea came to Ji Wanmei on the plane back to China from France.
Over the years, she has maintained the habit of carrying a notebook with her at all times.
When I have some inspiration or ideas, I take out my notebook from my bag and jot them down.
Little Pearl sat in her father's lap, her little face rosy from sleeping.
Seeing that Ji Wanmei was still busy working on the plane, Lei Tingjun said, "Wife, you've been busy these past few days, take a break."
Ji Wanmei was very excited and didn't feel tired at all. She shared her idea with Lei Tingjun.
"What do you think about me hosting a fashion show when I get back? Our company has many high-level members and customers. We can invite them to the fashion show, and we can also invite some celebrities and dignitaries. This way, we can not only expand our brand awareness, but also open up more avenues for our market sales."
Lei Tingjun grasped Ji Wanmei's hand: "Of course, my wife's idea is good. We can go back and have a meeting with the company team to discuss the details. We're on the plane now, so let's rest first."
They said they were taking their daughter on a vacation abroad, but Ji Wanmei was so busy with Fashion Week that she only managed to spend a day or two with him and their daughter.
This made Little Pearl very unhappy, and she complained to her father about her mother several times.
Ji Wanmei knew that she hadn't been able to play with her daughter during this trip. She looked down at her daughter's cute little face, kissed her forehead, and rested her head on Lei Tingjun's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, honey. You've been taking care of our daughter these past few days. I haven't been able to spend much time with you."
Lei Tingjun extended his large hand and interlocked his fingers with Ji Wanmei's: "Between husband and wife, there's no need for apologies. When you're busy, I take care of the family and children; when I'm busy, aren't you the one taking care of the family and children?"
"I just feel sorry for you. You've been working non-stop these past few days without much rest. You were even working on the plane."
Ji Wanmei leaned against Lei Tingjun's shoulder, reached out and embraced her daughter, feeling a sense of fulfillment, satisfaction and peace of mind.
No matter when or where, no matter how busy she is, as long as he and her daughter are by her side, she will not feel flustered.
It feels so good to have a home and a loved one.
Ji Wanmei was indeed a little sleepy, and leaning against Lei Tingjun, she fell asleep on the plane not long after.
Lei Tingjun noticed the slightly tired bluish tinge under his wife's eyes and pulled up a thin blanket to cover her.
He held his daughter's soft body in his arms, with his beloved wife on one shoulder. Surrounded by all the people he loved in his life, Lei Tingjun looked at the mother and daughter who looked so alike, and his heart softened completely.
Back in China, it won't be long before Little Pearl starts kindergarten again.
Perhaps because she hadn't seen her grandfather for many days after going abroad, Little Pearl became particularly attached to him as soon as she got home, and enthusiastically told him about what they had seen and heard abroad.
It was a rare treat that Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun had some sweet time together as a couple.
After her daughter started school, Ji Wanmei went to the East China headquarters to plan the brand's fashion show exhibition with the company's team members.
Halfway through the meeting, Ji Wanmei felt a little unwell, wondering if it was because the night was chilly and her stomach was upset.
She took a sip of water to suppress the uncomfortable feeling.
After the meeting ended, Ji Wanmei went to the restroom. When she came out to wash her hands, she suddenly paused.
She looked up at herself in the bathroom mirror.
Then she slapped her forehead and realized, "Wow, I've been so busy lately that I've lost my mind!"
Her period should have started during those few days while she was abroad, but she was busy visiting and inspecting various places and completely forgot about it.
