Chapter 178 Shock
Isabella couldn't hide the disbelief and shock in her eyes.
She really couldn't believe that the translator Lin in front of her was actually the founder and designer of the clothing brand [Hua Qiao]!
Originally, Isabella didn't know this brand, but yesterday at Bruce (Director of the US Liaison Office in China)'s private dinner, she met the wives of ambassadors from various countries.
When women get together, apart from talking about men, the only things they can talk about are jewelry, clothes, and bags.
During the conversation, Isabella accidentally discovered that the clothes worn by several ladies were of very special styles, which she had never seen before.
The most important thing is that these clothes are cleverly designed. While they fit their curves and temperament, they also highlight their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
Mrs. Bruce saw that she seemed very interested and talked to her about it.
"This is a new brand from China that specializes in private customization."
"It's very popular in the circle now, and it's hard to find clothes."
Isabella was very surprised after hearing this, she had always thought that these clothes might be new models from some old brands in the country.
I didn’t expect it to be a Chinese brand.
God knows, she was in Beijing these days and was almost crying because of the ugly clothes people wore on the street!
“Don’t you think it’s incredible?”
Mrs. Bruce smiled. In fact, she had been in China with her husband for some time.
She could handle the food by herself, but she really couldn't stand the clothes.
"I've been in China for such a long time, but this is the first time I buy Chinese clothes."
"To be honest, I never thought that Chinese people could design such lively and vibrant clothes and have such taste."
Mrs. Bruce's words were unanimously agreed by all the ladies.
Isabella nodded thoughtfully after listening to this. The clothes were indeed nice, but she didn't believe that they were hard to come by.
Would you be a fool if you don’t make money?
"It's just a piece of clothing, is it that exaggerated? They won't sell it even if I pay them?"
"That's not the case."
Mrs. Bruce was not very clear about the specific circumstances. She just went to the Friendship Store out of boredom when she was on a business trip to Shanghai with her husband.
Seeing how many people were queuing up, Mrs. Bruce followed suit and ordered one.
I didn't expect that the clothes would work so well when I wore them. No matter whether I was attending a dinner or a party, I always received envious looks from others.
Even her husband's eyes looked at her more eagerly.
When Mrs. Bruce wanted to order a few more pieces, they were no longer accepting orders.
"Oh, if I had known that, I would have ordered a few more..."
Before Mrs. Bruce finished her words, the other ambassador's wife covered her mouth and laughed.
"Mrs. Bruce, it's not too late for you to order now."
"What's the meaning?"
When the ladies heard this, they all put down their glasses.
"Don't you know? The brand [Hua Qiao] has already come to Beijing City."
"Really?"
"Of course. When I went to the Friendship Store a few days ago, I saw them decorating the counter there."
"I also specifically asked the person in charge of the costume department, and he said this himself."
"That's great. We don't have to worry about not being able to buy suitable clothes in the future."
The ladies secretly thought that they should go and see more often if they had nothing else to do recently, so that they could reserve the spot anyway.
Seeing their excited and expectant expressions, Isabella couldn't help but feel curious.
So when she returned to the hotel that night, she took the initiative to tell her husband that she wanted to go shopping at the Friendship Store early the next morning.
Mr. Johnson naturally had no objection to this, and so the following events happened.
Just now, everyone was concentrating on looking at antiques on the third floor.
Isabella quietly took her bodyguards to the garment department on the second floor.
As a result, after walking around for a long time, I didn't see even the shadow of Hua Qiao except for a pile of extremely ugly clothes.
"Ma'am, what would you like to see?"
Seeing that she was still looking around, the staff member took the initiative to step forward and ask her.
"You came at the right time. I heard that you have a new clothing brand here."
"Where is it? I've been looking for it for a long time but can't find it."
Recently, many foreign guests have come to ask about clothing, and the staff have become accustomed to this.
"Madam, are you talking about [Hua Qiao]?"
"right."
"Excuse me ma'am, this counter won't open until next month. How about you look at something else first?"
"What are you looking at? These ugly, tacky clothes?"
Before the staff member could finish his words, he was interrupted harshly by Ms. Isabella.
Deputy Director Zhang was about to go upstairs when he happened to hear this.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the leader coming, the staff quickly told him the situation.
"Director, this lady wanted to come and see Hua Qiao's clothes. I told her, but..."
"Okay, I got it."
Deputy Director Zhang knew what was going on when he heard this. "Go do something else. Leave this to me."
After saying this he glanced at Ms. Isabella.
Deputy Director Zhang has a good command of English, so there are no major problems in daily communication.
"Madam, you want to customize a few sets of Hua Qiao's clothes, right?"
Isabella looked like she was asking a question even though she knew the answer, but there was no point saying anything now.
The person just said it very clearly, this business will not open until next month.
And she will leave China on a flight early tomorrow morning.
In fact, Isabella is not only interested in clothes, she is more interested in the person behind the clothes.
What a pity.
Deputy Director Zhang didn't understand when he saw her look of regret.
"Madam, if you really want to customize it, you might as well ask the translator Lin. I think she should have time."
Isabella was visibly stunned when she heard this.
"Ask her what?"
"Well, don't you know?"
“The brand [Hua Qiao] was founded by the translator Lin, and the “Qiao” in it is her name.”
Isabella was obviously shocked by the news.
"You mean, those costumes were designed by Translator Lin himself?"
Deputy Director Zhang didn't know why she was so shocked, but it was the fact.
"Yes, she does all the clothes."
“…”
Time went back to the present. Lin Siqiao felt a little uneasy when he saw Ms. Isabella staring at him without saying anything.
Could it be that she blamed me for recommending several jade necklaces to Mr. Johnson?
I swear to God, it was Mr. Johnson who asked the question himself. Lin Siqiao did not force any sale on him!
At this time, Mr. Johnson also noticed that something was wrong with his wife, so he took the initiative to step forward and put his arm around her waist.
"Where have you been, darling?"
"Look, I picked out several jade necklaces for you, take a look and see if you like them."
Isabella came back to her senses and looked down.
"You have a good eye. You picked out everything I like."
Hearing this, Lin Siqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Isabella suddenly looked over.
"Lin, I remember you Chinese have a saying that jewelry goes well with fancy clothes."
"I don't know if I have the honor to ask you to design a few outfits for me."
