"I think your idea is very good. Shanghai itself is a city that attaches great importance to economy and finance, and we have just been approved for an open-door policy. You are definitely stepping on the right track in doing foreign trade." Ji Wanqing said truthfully.

Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though she was born again, this was a road she had never walked before, so she was inevitably a little scared.

Now with Sister Wanqing's affirmation, she finally felt a little relieved.

Shanghai.

You can't see much change from the train station, but when you walk out onto the street, the most obvious change is people's mental outlook.

The country has hope, the people have faith, and everyone feels that the future is bright. If we strive to move forward, won’t we be inspired?

The group arrived at the guesthouse and stayed there.

Ji Wanqing only reserved a week for the trip, and excluding the round-trip journey, he only had four and a half days to stay in Shanghai.

During this period, not only did he have to sign a contract with Yu Jia for the foreign trade company, but he also had to sign a sales agency contract on behalf of Guanghua Home Appliances Factory, look at land and houses, and sell the research institute's technology to electronics factories in Shanghai.

On the last day, I was invited by Director Cen to give a lecture at a university because I won the Outstanding Teacher Improvement Award from the Education Bureau last semester.

Due to the busy schedule, Chen Fangfang arrived in Shanghai ahead of everyone else and had already made appointments for the court, house viewing, and dinner with the leaders of the electronics factory.

She usually attends classes at school and can only help with discipline on weekends and during winter and summer vacations. However, she receives a salary every month and is self-sufficient in both living expenses and tuition fees, without spending a penny from her family.

Chen Fangfang felt guilty about taking the money, but Ji said she should just treat it as an investment, and since he really hadn't been very busy in the past two years, he would just reward her double in the future.

There was no other way, so Chen Fangfang had to work harder.

Ji Wanqing got the itinerary and found that the time arrangement was very reasonable.

"Only free tonight?" she asked.

Chen Fangfang nodded. "Well, I thought you needed a rest after all the traveling, so I specially made it available for you."

Ji Wanqing glanced at the sky and said, "It's still early. I'll go to Huamao Mall."

Last time I paid a deposit of 800 yuan, and he said there was no rush and to take our time. The old man at Yunzhen Pavilion really was in no rush.

Two years have passed and there is no news at all.

It would be nice if you could send one in advance.

Wang Yu and Chen Fangfang accompanied Ji Wanqing. This place has not changed much in the past two years, so it was easy to find the Yunzhen Pavilion store.

"It closed down half a year ago? Do you know where his house is?"

The home furnishings store next door glanced at Ji Wanqing and asked, "Did you order your clothes from Shen Tailor?"

"Yeah, did he tell you that?"

"He said that if a beautiful and stylish girl came to see him, he would ask you to go to the Shude Lane on Huaihai Road to look for him. There is an old sewing machine at the door of his house, so it is easy to find him."

"Thank you." Ji Wanqing asked, "Do you know why he stopped running the store?"

"Oh, the rent is too high. Now everyone likes to buy ready-made clothes, such as shawl cloth and braid. Who would ask him to make clothes?"

so it is.

The group then turned and went to Shude Lane.

Tailor Shen's shop is indeed easy to find. Not only is there a sewing machine at the door, but there are also ready-made clothes and cloth hanging on the shelves, as well as a large Yunzhen Pavilion sign.

There was a middle-aged woman sorting her clothes at the door. She turned around and saw the people coming. "Are you... here to look for my dad?"

"Yes, let's go find Tailor Shen, Mr. Shen." Ji Wanqing said.

Shen Xijun smiled: "Come in and sit down."

Tailor Shen's ancestors must have been wealthy, otherwise they would not have been able to go abroad decades ago.

Passing through the alleyway that integrates the gatehouse and the house gate, you will see a large courtyard. To the left and right in front are two-story villas connected to each other, and there is an open-air staircase in the upper corner.

Shen Xijun led the guests to the living room and served them tea. "Please sit down first. I'll go push my dad over."

Ji Wanqing asked hurriedly, "What is this, Mr. Shen?"

"Hey, I fell down half a year ago. My bones are too fragile and I can't walk since then."

As he said this, he walked out of the living room, went to the first floor next to the building, and pushed Mr. Shen over.

"It's you." The old man recognized Ji Wanqing at first sight.

A girl with such beauty is hard to forget once you meet her.

"Master, please don't be too tight, okay?" Ji Wanqing quietly added some spiritual spring water into the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.

"It's okay. I can still walk. It just hurts when I walk too fast. It's not as comfortable as sitting."

He took the teacup and said, "Mr. Xiao, go and move the four boxes from my room."

Shen Xijun hurried away.

"We have finished making the cheongsam and the horse-faced skirt, but we only made two sets of formal dresses."

"It's okay. Art is all about inspiration."

After the clothes were made, they were washed, ironed and dust-proofed, and separated piece by piece with white silk cloth in the cowhide suitcase. Ji Wanqing took a black-bottomed Begonia cheongsam, and the cool and silky feel of it made her love it.

Talking about his own works, Mr. Shen is in much better spirits. "I made one Beijing style, one Suzhou style, one Hong Kong style cheongsam, two Shanghai style cheongsams; two embroidered horse-faced skirts, two silver woven skirts, and one gold woven skirt. What do you think?"

Shen Xijun displayed them one by one, and Ji Wanqing was overwhelmed and couldn't keep up.

Such an exquisite and gorgeous dress was enough to make even a tough woman like Wang Yu stare in amazement.

Hey man, you haven't made clothes for a long time. Why are you showing off your skills here with her?

"My father's eyesight became bad after he embroidered a few pieces of this embroidery. He couldn't do it well, so he asked a fellow apprentice to help him embroider it. She is the 19th generation inheritor of Su embroidery."

Wow.

Master, buy one, get one free.

Ji Wanqing gently stroked the smooth and flat embroidery surface. The embroidery was vivid and three-dimensional. He thought it was indeed a high-end luxury product that was in short supply.

After looking at the uniforms, Shen Xijun opened two more leather suitcases.

The first dress is a sleeveless tube top with a large skirt, a moon-white background and light green tulle.

The hem of the dress has no support, but is made of layers of gauze with clever tailoring. The satin on the chest shines in the sun. It is not embellished with any gemstones, but it makes people feel romantic and gorgeous.

The other dress is a black ribbon fishtail dress, the fishtail part is made of layers of thin satin and soft gauze, which really shows the lightness and agility of the fishtail. The ingenuity of its design makes people forget the worldliness when they see it.

Wang Yu and Chen Fangfang were both stunned.

I couldn't help but want to order a skirt custom-made by the old man.

But after Ji Wanqing readily paid the balance of 1,800 yuan, the protests died down instantly.

Even a prodigal wouldn't dare to spend money like this!

But in Ji Wanqing's opinion, she made a fortune.

Even if the price were to increase a hundred times in the future, it would still be hard to buy five custom-made cheongsams, a custom-made horse-faced skirt, and two custom-made dresses.

What's more, the fine silk, gauze satin, gold and silver woven fabrics are all genuine without any discounts, and they are personally embroidered by the inheritor of Su embroidery.

It is truly a treasure among fine products.

While everyone is keen on buying braided shaking cloth, it's time to get some free time from the old artists.

The first dress was still being made, and Ji Wanqing didn't even look at it in order to preserve the stunning feeling of the first encounter.

"It is true that slow work pays off. The two-year wait was well worth it!"

The guests liked it, and Mr. Shen smiled, "I'm just sitting around at home with nothing to do, so I put more thought into it."
