Chapter 281 The Joy of Shopping
Before this was said, Hua Chunqiu would only smile and shake her head after hearing this, and said stubbornly that she was fine.
It’s just that negative emotions have been accumulating for too long recently, and Hua Chunqiu is in urgent need of an outlet.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be driving around aimlessly in Beijing in broad daylight.
Hearing Lin Siqiao's question, Hua Chunqiu actually felt relieved.
After being stunned for a moment, she spoke.
The matter was not complicated and could be explained in a few words, but after Hua Chunqiu finished speaking, he gave a wry smile and looked at Lin Siqiao.
"I understand my family's concerns, but there is one thing I can't understand."
"Don't women have any other pursuits in their lives besides getting married and having children?"
Lin Siqiao fell into deep thought after hearing this. It turned out that urging marriage and childbirth were two topics that could not be avoided in any era.
Even someone as outstanding as Senior Sister Hua will still be talked about behind her back by friends and family.
But Lin Siqiao couldn't give a good suggestion on this issue.
The key point still lies with Senior Sister Hua herself.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Siqiao asked, "Senior Sister Hua, have you not met the right person, or do you just not want to find one in this life?"
There is an essential difference between the two.
Hua Chunqiu was silent for a moment. She had spent all her time in recent years improving herself.
Except for that blind date that ended in failure, she never gave any man the chance to contact her.
Now that Lin Siqiao asked her this, she was confused.
Lin Siqiao didn't think about persuading Senior Sister Hua to do anything. To be honest, no one else could persuade her whether to get married or not.
She just thinks that there is no essential conflict between career and marriage, so they can coexist.
For example, before meeting Lu Jianchuan, Lin Siqiao really had never thought about it.
She would choose to marry early at this age.
But think about it, the reason why she was able to make this decision was that Lu Jianchuan gave her a lot of confidence.
From the time they fell in love until now, Lu Jianchuan has never interfered with her choices. All he has is heartache and understanding.
He also had no intention of treating his wife as his appendage.
So after getting married, Lin Siqiao can still devote herself wholeheartedly to the career she loves.
This is also one of the reasons why she was willing to let go.
"You, you're getting married?"
Hua Chunqiu was so surprised that she was speechless after hearing this. She had heard before that Lin Siqiao had a boyfriend.
To be exact, Hua Chunqiu also saw the news in the newspaper.
She doesn't know much about Lin Siqiao's partner.
Judging from the photos alone, Hua Chunqiu felt that they were indeed a good match.
"Yes, I'm getting married." Lin Siqiao nodded and said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Siqiao."
Hua Chunqiu congratulated him and said, "Let me know when we get married."
Lin Siqiao nodded and didn't continue the previous topic.
Senior Sister Hua is a smart person. Some things are better left to the point. If you say too much, you are crossing the line.
And when she looked at Senior Sister Hua's face, she saw that she was obviously much relieved.
Sure enough, as soon as they finished their meal, Hua Chunqiu asked her with a smile.
"Si Qiao, do you have any plans for the afternoon?"
Lin Siqiao shook her head. She had just received a sudden notice from her senior brother today, so she put the rest of the things off.
But she has to go back early at night.
Some time ago, she heard from Lu Jianchuan that he would attend a commendation meeting of the military district on the 20th.
Lin Siqiao has been busy during this period and the two have not seen each other for nearly ten days.
Based on her understanding of Lu Jianchuan, Lu Jianchuan should come over in the evening.
"If you don't have any plans, how about we go out for a walk?"
"Okay, I want to buy something."
This time I will be abroad for at least a month, and there are a lot of things to prepare.
Before leaving today, Minister Wu specifically told Lin Siqiao to customize two formal suits.
The organization will reimburse this expense. After all, there are many formal social occasions when you go out, and it would not be appropriate to dress too casually.
Lin Siqiao originally thought that Senior Sister Hua was going to the department store in Wangfujing, but as soon as she started the car, she heard Senior Sister Hua say.
"Si Qiao, let's go to the Friendship Store. A new store called Hua Qiao opened there last year."
“The styles are no worse than those abroad.”
"I heard they released some new bras this month that are super comfortable."
"It's just that it's selling out so fast. It's always out of stock. I don't know if we can buy it today."
Lin Siqiao never mentioned that she worked at the Friendship Store, and Hua Chunqiu seldom went out shopping on weekdays, but she had heard people in the compound mention the existence of such a store.
She naturally didn't know that the person in front of her was the boss of Huaqiao.
That’s right, Lin Siqiao couldn’t do anything about the underwear being out of stock.
Due to limited production capacity, the manager of her brand doesn’t even have one set yet.
Thinking that she would be going to her own territory later, it seemed inappropriate not to say anything, so on the way there Lin Siqiao briefly talked about her being a designer at Huaqiao.
Hua Chunqiu was really surprised this time.
Hua Qiao, Hua Qiao, so the Qiao here refers to Lin Siqiao.
No wonder...
When we arrived at the Friendship Store, the security staff conducted a routine inspection.
When he saw it was Lin Siqiao, and then looked at the car she was driving, it took him a long time to react.
"Sorry, Manager Lin." He quickly opened the iron fence in front.
"It doesn't matter."
After Lin Siqiao parked the car, the two of them walked up the stairs together.
"Manager Lin?" Hua Chunqiu asked jokingly.
The meaning is obvious, is there anything else I don't know?
Lin Siqiao had no choice but to say that she was currently in charge of the restaurant in the embassy area.
Maybe because he was surprised too many times today, Hua Chunqiu just bowed.
"I am really convinced now."
This was the first opponent that convinced her.
“Same here.”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the door of Huayi's shop. Fortunately, there were not many customers in the shop at this time.
Normally, Lin Siqiao seldom comes here, so this sudden visit made the sales clerks more nervous than each other.
"Manager Lin, is there anything we can do for you?"
"No, let's see for ourselves."
Lin Siqiao waved his hand and told them to do what they were supposed to do.
No one knows the clothes she designs better than her. As for Senior Sister Hua, she has her own unique style of dressing and doesn't need any recommendations from others.
Soon, a tailor was invited over, and after measuring the size, Lin Siqiao chose two simple formal suits.
One set is a simple and elegant light gray pants suit, and the other is a light purple two-piece dress.
In April and May, the weather in Europe has warmed up, and it would be just right to wear a pair of thicker stockings.
I chose a shirt to wear underneath and also bought two knitted vests.
In addition to these, Lin Siqiao also picked out a few printed scarves, and a pair of round-toed and pointed-toed leather shoes.
After thinking about it, I picked out two velvet dresses in pretty colors for myself.
You can’t wear this or that in China, so you have to indulge yourself when you go abroad.
As for underwear, it is still out of stock.
Lin Siqiao could only leave her size first, and when it arrived, they would send someone to deliver it to the restaurant in the embassy area.
Lin Siqiao thought she had bought enough, but when she turned around, she saw Senior Sister Hua.
She was currently holding four or five sets of clothes and gesturing back and forth.
"Si Qiao, which one do you think looks good? I'm overwhelmed by the choices."
With such an excited look on his face, there is no sign of depression at all.
Sure enough, when you are in a bad mood, nothing you say will be of any use.
Only shopping can make people happy!
"I think any of them would look good on you."
This is the truth, and what follows is what Lin Siqiao wants to say to her.
"If you like it, buy it. There's nothing wrong with women being nice to themselves."
After hearing this, Hua Chunqiu paused noticeably.
Then, as if he had figured something out, he said, "Yes, you are right. Be nice to yourself. There is nothing wrong with that!"
