Chapter 141 Sisters Meet at Restaurant
Mrs. Wang pulled Mrs. Zhou to sit down and asked with a smile, "Didn't you go abroad? Why are you back so soon?"
Mrs. Zhou's delicately made-up face showed a look of disdain. "Oh, don't mention it. Foreign food is not tasty at all. I have lost nearly 10 pounds in half a year."
"I came back as soon as I could because I couldn't stay any longer. I was planning to visit you in a couple of days, but I didn't expect to meet you today."
Mrs. Zhou poked her arm playfully and raised her eyebrows in the direction of Mr. Wang. "You have been doing well recently. I see that you have lost a lot of weight. You look radiant and look several years younger. Is it because of love?"
Mrs. Wang glared at her angrily, "You still talk like that, don't you feel ashamed? But I have slept well recently, and my complexion has improved a lot."
"Have you seen the clothes I'm wearing? I bought them newly, tailor-made for my measurements. I spent two hundred and eight thousand on them. You don't know how surprised I was when I first tried them on. It's true that they say clothes make the man. When I put on this dress, I looked a lot younger when I looked in the mirror." Mrs. Wang stood up to show off and asked Mrs. Zhou to take a closer look.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her eyes widened. She quickly took Mrs. Wang for a turn and looked at the dress carefully, exclaiming in amazement:
"I think this dress looks different. The cut, the material, and the details are so exquisite. Although it's a bit expensive, the effect of wearing it is definitely worth it."
Mrs. Zhou came closer, touched the fabric of the clothes, and continued with envy, "Where did you get this made? I'll go try it on later. I have quite a few clothes, but they're not as good as yours."
Mrs. Wang smiled complacently, sat down again, and said, "You have no chance. You should wait until the second half of the year. The designer reservations are all full and have been scheduled for the second half of the year."
Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth in astonishment. "When did such a great designer appear? Why is he so popular?"
Mrs. Wang: "It's only been in the past six months. Mr. Lin's studio seems to have started last month, but he is considered to be a member of the semi-circle, so we sisters have made reservations long ago."
When Mrs. Zhou heard the name, she turned around and thought about it, a little confused, "Who is this Mr. Lin?"
Mrs. Wang suddenly realized that she had been abroad and there were some things she didn't know. She came close to her and explained things to her in a low voice, which caused Mrs. Zhou to exclaim in amazement.
"I didn't expect that such a big thing happened in the circle during the time I was away. Do you mean that the Qin family and this Mr. Lin are a couple?"
Mrs. Wang nodded. "How could I lie to you? I'm not hiding anything. Just ask anyone and they'll know."
Mrs. Zhou was a little surprised. "Then Mr. Qin and the other elders didn't object?"
Mrs. Wang picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, then put the glass down and said slowly, "Not only did they not object, but they seemed to be very supportive. However, everyone knows about Mr. Qin's deeds, so they are not very surprised."
"People like them don't care about that."
Mrs. Zhou nodded as she listened, "That's true."
Mrs. Zhou wanted to chat for a while, but her husband came over and urged her to go back. "Honey, we should go back. I have to go to the company in the afternoon. Don't you have an appointment to get a beauty treatment? Don't waste time."
Mrs. Zhou then remembered that she still had things to do in the afternoon, and patted her forehead gently, "Look at my brain, I forget everything when I talk." She picked up her bag and stood up. I turned around and asked Mrs. Wang.
"Mrs. Wang, do you have anything to do this afternoon? Do you want to go with me for a beauty treatment?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do this afternoon."
Mrs. Zhou smiled happily, "That's great. We haven't done beauty treatments together for a long time. This is a good opportunity for us to catch up."
As she spoke, she took Mrs. Wang's arm, turned around and said to the two gentlemen, "Then we won't go with you. You two can go back and take care of your own business."
Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Mr. Wang said, "Okay, go ahead. Be careful on the road."
Mr. Zhou echoed the advice, and then the two couples separated at the restaurant door.
When Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhou got together with several other ladies, there was another round of sisterly showing off and gossiping.
…
Thanks to the publicity of these ladies, Lin Jianyan's fame has been completely spread, and Qin Wu has been invited to dinner several times by the husbands of these ladies.
Qin Wu would consider meeting with those who sincerely wanted to discuss cooperation, but he would reject those who came just for the clothing quota.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed. Today was the 70th birthday of the old man of the Qin family. Everyone in the Qin family had been preparing for this day for a long time. The banquet was held grandly in a luxurious restaurant in the city center.
Guests arrived one after another, and luxury cars stopped in front of the restaurant. People who got out of the cars were all well-known figures in the city, including business tycoons, political dignitaries, and ladies from many famous families.
They were dressed in all kinds of gorgeous dresses, vying with each other for beauty, and their skirts swayed as if they were competing to see who was more glamorous.
In the past two months, the socialite circles of these ladies and young ladies have taken the clothes designed by Lin Jinyan as the fashion benchmark.
Anyone who wears clothes designed by Lin Jianyan will become the focus of attention at any gathering, receiving countless envious and jealous looks and compliments.
However, there were so many of them, and only a few of them could wear the clothes designed by Lin Jianyan. So in order not to be outdone, they all took out the brightest and most luxurious dresses. They shuttled among the crowd, and when their eyes met, although they had decent smiles on their faces, they were secretly competing with each other.
The ladies and wives who were lucky enough to wear the clothes designed by Lin Jinyan held their heads high, walked into the banquet hall with their male companions, and walked with light and confident steps. Their faces were filled with unconcealed pride, as if they had a halo of their own, and wherever they went, the eyes of others were involuntarily attracted to them.
This made the others even more envious. Some of them pinched their husbands’ arms fiercely and said with gritted teeth, “Look! His eyeballs are about to fall out. What’s so good about that!”
"Hiss!" The man gasped in pain, rubbed his arm, and dared not look anymore. He just kept muttering, "Everyone loves beauty. I just want to see what's wrong. I don't have any other thoughts."
The lady glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? It's just a piece of clothing. I can wear it sooner or later! Next time, hurry up and make a reservation for me. If there are no vacancies, I will punish you!"
"Okay, okay, I understand." The man didn't dare to respond. He had to rely on his wife's natal family to help him, so he couldn't be tough in front of his wife.
