Chapter 95 Getting Rich
Just as they were trying to make up their minds, they heard a gentle voice from the side, "What are you guys talking about? Why do you look so confused?"
Mrs. Li walked over and stood beside Aunt Qin and Mrs. Chen, looking at them puzzledly.
Several people saw a gleam in Mrs. Li's eyes. Because of the distance just now, they didn't see Mrs. Li's outfit carefully. Now that they see her up close, it is really eye-catching. She is completely different from her previous outfit.
Mrs. Li was wearing a moon-white cheongsam. The material of the cheongsam seemed to be glowing with a faint luster. Every detail of the cut was just right, outlining her graceful figure to the fullest. The furry fur at the neckline and cuffs made her look playful and youthful.
A few strands of hair fell on her fair neck, giving her a kind of messy beauty. Her face was lightly powdered, her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, and the light lipstick on her lips made her look extremely healthy and gentle.
They remembered that Mrs. Li used to prefer wearing dark-colored clothes, but today she changed her outfit to something unique and eye-catching.
A young lady couldn't help but complimented, "Mrs. Li, you look so good in this outfit today. It suits you so well. I remember you used to like dark green cheongsams. Although they make you look calm and elegant, I still think your outfit today looks better. You look a dozen years younger."
Another lady was amazed. She was also a cheongsam lover and could feel the unique design of this cheongsam better than others. "Mrs. Li, have you lost weight? I remember that when I saw you last time, your waist was not that thin."
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled sweetly. She was overjoyed by the compliment. She gently raised her hand to tidy up the hair by her ears and said with a smile, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm just in a good mood today and I want to dress myself up. I'm not thin, it's just that the clothes make me look thinner."
Mrs. Chen nudged her with her shoulder and teased, "You are too modest. You don't know that I just saw Mr. Li staring at you like a staring eye. He had to look in your direction when talking to others, as if he was afraid that you would run away with someone else."
Mrs. Li patted her on the shoulder in a reproachful manner and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Although she said so, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
Today was her happiest day in all these years. She changed her outfit and it seemed as if no one recognized her anymore. Even her husband looked at her with more love in his eyes than usual, as if they were back to the time when they were in love.
She and her husband got married when they were young, and although it was a marriage of arrangement, they were very satisfied with each other and were passionately in love for a few years at the beginning. However, as time went by and their children grew up, their emotions became more reserved, and now they treat each other with more respect.
In their circle, there is no such thing as true love. It is normal for men to have a life of debauchery and have affairs with many women. Her husband was able to resist temptation and did not have any mistresses, which is very rare in the circle. I don't know how many wives are jealous of him.
Today, he followed her closely, reminiscing about their youth with her, and never let go of her hand, as if someone had snatched her away.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li's smile deepened, and she looked sweet. But she remembered her question and asked again, "Don't talk about me. I just saw you guys gathered here so lively, what are you doing?"
A lady said, "We wanted to ask Mr. Lin to make a set of clothes for us, but he said the store is not open yet, so we are a little hesitant."
Mrs. Li said angrily, "Why hesitate? This outfit of mine was designed by Ah Yan. I was planning to ask him to design another one for me. Although it takes a long time, the clothes he makes are really beautiful!"
"Look at the design, the details, how beautiful it is, and it's tailor-made. Those designers don't have as good an eye for beauty as Yan. If you hesitate now, you might not even get a spot when the time comes."
Everyone was surprised and said, "You have this one too!?"
The lady who liked cheongsams rolled her eyes. While everyone was waiting to see what was happening, she took out a card from her bag and stuffed it into Lin Jinyan's hand. "I want to make a reservation! There's 50,000 in this card. I'll pay the deposit first! When the time comes, please be the first one to make it for me."
Everyone came back to their senses after being startled by her action, and looked at her with gritted teeth, as they had not expected that this person would take the first place so unexpectedly. The remaining four people were afraid of being relegated to the back of the queue, so they quickly took out their cards from their bags, and those who did not have cards took out checks.
"My, Mr. Lin!"
"And mine!"
Finally, several crazy women stuffed several cards and a check into Lin Jianyan's hand. The lady who stuffed the check in the end was a little unwilling, because she didn't bring any cards, so she had to line up at the end.
Lin Jianyan: "...why don't you guys think about it again?"
Several people shook their heads and said firmly: "Don't think about it, we believe you!"
Mainly because I was scared by Mrs. Li's words that I would not be able to get a seat in the future. So I quickly made a reservation while there are few people around so that I can show off in the future when no one else has one.
Seeing that they had made up their mind, Lin Jianyan asked the waiter for a pen and paper and wrote down their names and numbers. "I will call you after the store opens. You can go to the store to measure your sizes. I will design clothes specifically for you based on your preferences and taboos."
"I would like to remind you again that the deposit has been paid and it will not be refunded if you fail to show up midway. If you do not come that month, you will not be allowed to insert a spot in the next month."
Several people responded, "Yes, I know."
"Don't worry, we won't break our promise!"
"Then you guys chat, we'll leave first."
Not long after they left, several ladies and young ladies came to inquire about the hotel and finally added their numbers and paid the deposit.
Lin Jianyan looked at the card in his hand and smiled with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted. With the celebrity effect and seeing is believing, there would be no shortage of people.
After Qin Wu finished his business and came out of the room, he saw Lin Jianyan smiling like a cat that had stolen some fish. He greeted Qin Xiaogu and the two wives, stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders, and asked with a smile, "Why are you smiling so happily? Did money fall from the sky and hit you?"
Qin Xiaogu and the other two looked at each other, smiled and left, leaving space for the two young men to talk.
Lin Jinyan opened his hand and showed him the Feng Gong Wei Ye in his hand. He smiled and said, "Yes, the minimum amount in these cards is 50,000. With so much, you must be rich."
Qin Wu curled his lips, "How much is this? You are so happy with such a small amount of money. It's not even as much as I transferred to you at the beginning."
