Chapter 22: Investing in Shares
Liu Wangxue changed into her regular clothes again, carefully put away the evening dress and high heels, and then took out the Tibetan clothes and handed them to Wenxi.
In recent years, in addition to studying and designing Hanfu, Wenxi has also collected a lot of costumes from other ethnic groups, constantly learning to gain inspiration.
This Tibetan costume is a peacock green satin long-sleeved high-necked shirt with silver edges, paired with a pure black outer robe made of fine cotton. The lapels, cuffs and hem of the outer robe are all rolled with wide silver edges, and are embroidered with complex Tibetan patterns with green silk threads.
The overall design of the clothes has been improved. Unlike the traditional Tibetan robes which are loose, they are tightened in various places to make the lines better highlight the female body curves.
Liu Wangxue also matched the outfit with a set of jewelry, including a necklace, ring, earrings and a headdress, all made mainly of beeswax and turquoise, and set on a handmade silver base.
Wenxi's great-grandmother came from a small country in West Asia. Her genes were inherited from the previous generation and are prominent in Wenxi. Not to mention the advantage of height, her facial features, in particular, have both oriental charm and western three-dimensional depth.
Once they put on this set of Tibetan clothing and jewelry, not only Liu Wangxue, but even Wen Xi himself was stunned when he looked at himself in the mirror.
Liu Wangxue thought she would look good in it, but she didn't expect it to look this good. Her whole temperament changed, with a mysterious and exotic coldness. She also used the "killing eyes" she had honed in the workplace over the years, looking sharp and charming.
Liu Wangxue covered her chest and said, "This is what 'Sister kills me' means, okay!" She took out her cell phone and took pictures frantically.
All I can say is that they are truly good friends. They are aware of every strength of each other and know how to appreciate and praise each other.
After trying on the clothes, Wenxi took Liu Wangxue back to the living room to continue opening other gifts.
Suddenly, Wenxi asked, "Where are my uncle and aunt? I have been here for a while, why haven't I seen them? These gifts are for them."
Liu Wangxue told the story about her uncle's car accident.
"It's good that you woke up." Wenxi put the boxes under the coffee table and said, "It's really unpredictable."
"Who said it wasn't?" Liu Wangxue took out a furry cell phone pendant, which immediately attracted Pengpeng's attention. He raised his front paws to grab it and play with it.
Liu Wangxue liked this and didn't want to let it spoil it, so he picked up the ball at his feet, waved it in front of it, and threw it out. Pengpeng instinctively chased after it, then brought it back, letting Liu Wangxue continue to play with it.
Liu Wangxue said as he threw the ball: "So, we should enjoy and cherish every moment before any accidents happen."
Wenxi took a banana and peeled it and ate it: "So you ran to this corner to live out your retirement?"
Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "Oh, it's just a different way of living! If you can't roll up anymore, just lie down."
"Ah, I don't want to curl it anymore," Wenxi threw the banana peel away, feeling distressed, "but there are so many people in the studio to support, I have to curl it!"
Liu Wangxue unpacked the unnecessary packaging boxes one by one so that they could be easily thrown away. Hearing this, he asked her, "Are you short of money?"
Wenxi looked at the ceiling and said, "It's not just the lack of money! After signing the contract with Porcelain, we are not only short of money, but also short of people! Short of people! Models, designers, operations, everything."
Wenxi started to mutter as she spoke: "Before, when I wanted to attract investment, no one paid any attention to me. After the exhibition was held, those investors smelled the scent and came here. One by one, they all wanted to get a piece of the pie. I don't want my beautiful clothes to be stained by their money. Disgusting!"
"Wait a moment." Liu Wangxue went to the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Wenxi's eyes followed her.
After a while, Liu Wangxue came out and handed Wenxi a bank card: "The breakup fee from Mu Jingsheng, five million."
Wenxi was shocked: "He's so stingy? He only gave this little? Doesn't he know that the breakup fee of the overbearing CEOs in romance novels starts at tens of millions?"
Liu Wangxue stuffed the card into her hand, smiled helplessly and said, "What are you thinking about? Take it quickly, just use it as an emergency."
Although the money was not much, it could indeed solve her urgent need. Wenxi held the card and said, "Okay, I won't be polite. When you invest in the shares, don't worry, the loss will be mine."
As he said that, he took out his cell phone and called the legal department, asking them to prepare the contract and bring it over tomorrow.
Liu Wangxue stopped him and said, "Anyway, I haven't decided what to do with the money. You can use it first. Just treat it as a loan. You don't have to invest."
This money was unexpected gain, and Liu Wangxue didn't care about it, but it was her who oversaw Wenxi's studio and managed it bit by bit with her hard work.
She didn't have the ability to help financially at the beginning, and now that the studio is on the verge of taking off, she doesn't want to "take advantage of the situation."
Wenxi didn't care: "You must think this is unexpected money and it doesn't matter, but we are sisters, so we can't count it this way. I tell you the truth, no matter how this show with Porcelain goes, my studio's reputation has already been spread - of course I will definitely not mess around, what I mean is, if you want to use this money for me, you must count it as an investment, let a sister help you achieve a class leap!"
Wenxi's expression showed full confidence in the future. Seeing that Liu Wangxue was still hesitating, she handed the card back to her: "Otherwise, take it back. I don't want it."
Liu Wangxue didn't take it. She knew Wenxi's temper, so she compromised and handed the peeled orange to Wenxi: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"
Wenxi was satisfied. He took the orange with a smile, put the card away, and immediately called the legal department.
Liu Wangxue told her not to worry: "Hai City is so far away from here, your studio should be very busy recently, there is no need to make a trip alone."
"Hey," Wenxi raised her eyebrows, "Speaking of this, there is one more good news that I forgot to tell you."
"What?"
"Wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Wenxi said, "Didn't you sell the copyright to the story about the Hanfu designer you wrote for me last year? We just started filming it recently, and it was shot at the city's largest flower and bird market. They originally didn't plan to use the costumes from our studio, but later they heard about Porcelain's collaboration with me and came to ask for cooperation."
Wenxi rolled her eyes and continued, "I asked Xiao Zhao to come over first to discuss the contract with them."
Liu Wangxue comforted him, "This circle is like this, it's normal to flatter the powerful and bully the weak."
Wenxi nodded: "I know, so, if you don't make money, you are a fool."
"Hahahaha." They both laughed together.
Then Xiao Zhao's message came: [Sister Xi, the contract has been negotiated, they hope to sign it tomorrow, do you want to come over first? ]
Wenxi suddenly had an idea and asked Liu Wangxue, "Xuxu, do you want to take this opportunity to visit the crew? We can also sign our contract while we're at it."
