"Ladies, please be patient. Our products are absolutely guaranteed. If you do not believe us, you are welcome to view the custom-made items first before making payment." Nan Wusi raised his voice.
"Ladies, please take a look at the dress I'm wearing. I made it myself. The materials and stitching are of the highest quality." As he spoke, Nan Wusi walked among the ladies and young women to show it off. At first, the ladies just looked, but later more and more of them started to touch it.
"I'm sure you all have a basic understanding of the quality of the garments in my store." Nan Wusi finally couldn't bear it any longer and retreated back to the mannequin stand.
"Today, to celebrate the opening of Dream Garment Shop, I will be launching a special custom order. The right to order this time will be awarded to the highest bidder, with an initial price of one thousand taels of silver." Nan Wusi raised his voice again: "Honorable ladies, this special custom order is absolutely worth more than its price. This is a one-time opportunity, so be sure to seize it."
After Nan Wusi finished speaking, there was an eerie silence. Many people looked at her as if she were a fool, as if they thought no one would actually bid.
"Miss Nan, how does this custom-made set compare to the one your father wore last time?" asked a young lady who had attended the birthday banquet last time.
"Special customization is valuable because of the word 'special'. Although the final clothes may be different from my mother's in terms of style or materials, I can guarantee that they will be stunning when worn."
“In that case, I’ll offer a starting point: I’ll bid one thousand taels.” The young lady made her offer.
But no one immediately followed suit. Nan Wusi wasn't embarrassed. Although it was different from what she had expected, she was happy as long as she could surprise everyone in the end.
“I’ll offer 1,500 taels.” Ouyang Xinxi’s voice came from outside the shop at that moment.
Nan Wusi smiled at Ouyang Xinxi; she knew she would come.
Ouyang Jiangli, who was standing to the side, glanced at Ouyang Xinxi in surprise. She hadn't expected that Ouyang Xinxi would spend so much money on Nan Wusi.
"I'll offer two thousand taels." The young lady had raised her bid again.
This time, Ouyang Xinxi glanced apologetically at Nan Wusi, as she didn't have any more silver in her hand. Nan Wusi smiled reassuringly at her, indicating that it was alright.
“If no one else bids, this special custom order will go to this young lady,” Nan Wusi said.
"Wait, I'll offer three thousand taels." At this moment, a panting voice came from outside the door, and a very fat young woman appeared in front of everyone.
This woman was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Because she was overweight from a young age, she was often teased, which led to her developing a deep sense of inferiority. Since she was a little older, she rarely went out because she didn't want to be subjected to the strange looks from others. This time, she only went out because her maidservant happened to hear that a new clothing store had opened and she could buy the clothes she wanted, since there were very few clothes that fit her.
Although she wasn't quite clear on the situation, she immediately followed the bid when she heard someone make an offer. After all, her family was exceptionally wealthy, and she didn't care about this amount of money at all.
"Anyone else bidding?" Nan Wusi asked again, but no one else responded. She knew that everyone was still taking a wait-and-see approach, but unfortunately, such opportunities were rare, and some people were likely to regret it.
"Since no one has made a bid, the special customization opportunity will ultimately be awarded to this young lady." Nan Wusi looked at the figure outside the door and asked, "May I ask how this young lady is addressed?"
“My surname is Tang,” the plump woman said.
"Miss Tang, please follow me to the back." Nan Wusi gestured for Tang Tang to follow.
It was quite difficult for Tang Tang, with her plump figure, to squeeze in, which angered the ladies and young misses.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Tang Tang kept apologizing, and you could tell she was really insecure. She walked with a hunch, and with her fat body, she really looked like a ball slowly rolling forward.
After inviting Tangtang into the inner room, Nan Wusi pretended to take her measurements and then asked her to sit and wait for him for a moment.
She then went to another small room and took out the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) from the system.
One advantage of clothing redeemed from the system store is that when you take it out, you can set the clothing to any size you need, so the clothing will definitely fit you perfectly.
Nan Wusi gave the finished garment to Tang Tang and told her personal maid how to wear the dress. Then she went out to wait.
Because Tangtang was overweight, she usually had difficulty dressing herself. However, the advantage of this ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) was that it was very easy to put on and take off, so her maidservant did not spend much time helping Tangtang put it on this time.
The moment she finished dressing, Tangtang suddenly felt a surge of courage welling up from the depths of her heart, which made her lift her head again and straighten her back.
There was a huge, full-length bronze mirror in the fitting room. Seeing herself in the mirror, Tang Tang was a little excited, and at that moment she couldn't help but shed tears. She finally dared to look directly at herself in the mirror.
But Tangtang's crying terrified her maid, who had never seen Tangtang cry in all these years.
"Miss, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Tangtang's maid was shocked and didn't understand why her mistress, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, had suddenly started crying.
"I'm just so happy, it's nothing." Tang Tang said, wiping away her tears. Although her father always scolded her and wanted her to stand up and speak properly, she had never actually done so. She knew she was letting her father down, but she didn't have the courage. Today, however, she felt a surge of strength and confidence.
