Chapter 79

The waiter pushed a five-tiered snack rack and served traditional British afternoon tea to the guests.

Exquisite snacks, orange-red Earl Gray tea, accompanied by melodious music and pendant sunshine, there is a lazy and beautiful atmosphere flowing in the air.

"It's indeed a bit surprising."

Mrs. Eaton said with a smile: "So is it that Xiangjiang is too mild, or is the environment in Taipei too harsh?"

The waiter in a black tuxedo took the newspaper and bowed away, leaving space for the two guests. .

Freeman put down the teaspoon, "Based on what I know about her, she won't give up." He looked at Mrs. Eaton opposite, "Maybe this was part of her plan from the beginning. You can't judge her with common sense. Behavior, so far, at least from what I’ve seen, she hasn’t really suffered any big losses.”

After dealing with her several times, Freeman had a certain understanding of Lin Wei.

It just seems that Lin Wei did have a bad fall this time. It's purely like she misjudged the situation in Taipei and acted according to Xiangjiang's experience. After all, 30% of the equity was sold at such a low price. If she wants to get it back, just A bit fanciful.

"You are very afraid of her." Mrs. Eaton picked up the tea cup and brought it to Yan Hong's lips. "She also suffered a loss from us. How do you think she will retaliate?"

Freeman paused and shook his head: "I don't I know. "

She is not a predictable woman. She always does something unexpected and unpredictable. You don't know how she will act.

He was able to win this time because they had been planning for a long time. After several battles, he was sure that Lin Wei was the beheading sword they had been waiting for. For so long, no one has given Ron such a headache. Fu Sheng's size means that they can treat any group or individual in Xiangjiang with a condescending attitude, except for the government and HSBC.

But this knife is too sharp and you will hurt yourself if you use it incorrectly.

"Then we have to be more proactive." Facing Freeman's confused gaze, Mrs. Eaton smiled and picked up the knife and fork. "As a friend, we should take the initiative to express condolences to the frustrated friend."

"You want to anger her?"

" How could it be? I feel really sorry for her." Mrs. Eaton put the snack into her mouth and waited for the food to slide into her esophagus before speaking again, "Have you noticed that the snacks in their milk tea shop are delicious and people here like them? People also like it. I saw that the employees in the company would buy milk tea and hamburgers for lunch. "

Freeman shook his head: "I haven't eaten it."

"You should try it when you have time to learn more about your opponent," Mrs. Eaton said. He took a sip of tea, then put down the cup, "It will be very interesting to be friends with such a person."

Freeman frowned, somewhat disapproving: "Are you serious?"

Mrs. Eaton smiled and said, "I hope she can " You like me as a friend."

"You are devaluing yourself."

Mrs. Eaton sighed: "Freeman, I thought you were different from others. You have no prejudice against women, but you still can't break away from the constraints of class. We shouldn't. Distinguish between people, gender, age, skin color, national boundaries, men, women, the elderly, children... these are not important. What really matters is what the other person can bring to you, not his background identity. A true Capitalists can even have no country."

Freeman was silent for a long time, and then said: "Emily--I just want you to be happy."

Mrs. Eaton was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Only you can. You called me that..."

I really envy the people here -

in the UK, except for the Queen, women no longer have their own names after they get married.

Thinking of Miss Lin, Mrs. Eaton felt a little better.

Mrs. Eaton put down the tableware: "Tea time is over. Don't keep the directors waiting too long. They already think women are troublesome."

...

As soon as Lin Wei went upstairs, she saw Hu Xiwen kneeling on the ground, nailing rhinestones on the dress. A blue-purple backless dress, with a tassel of diamonds pouring down from the back of the neck. It is very bright and dazzling. It is made of soft and expensive mulberry silk fabric, and the gradient tail flows out very long. It is three parts noble and seven parts bright. Only a very noble person can control it.

Ordinary people dare not try it easily.

Hu Xiwen saw Lin Wei handing her a rhinestone and stood up in surprise: "Why did you just go back to work today? Where did you go yesterday?"

"Can't you just let me have a day off?" Lin Wei looked at the blue-purple dress in front of her. , "You don't have to work so hard, everyone hasn't started work yet?" Lin Wei glanced at the clock opposite, it was just 7 o'clock, and she didn't know whether Hu Xiwen stayed up all night or came too early.

"But I called your residence yesterday at noon. You hadn't come back yet, and you asked Ah Yue and the others to come back first, so where did you go to play?" Hu Xiwen was more concerned about Lin Wei's schedule.

Lin Wei glanced at her helplessly: "You are following my whereabouts. Have you ever heard of a graduation trip? After finally getting out, I spent an extra day playing outside with Song Ye."

"Why is it only one day? ?" Hu Xiwen raised his eyebrows.

"What else?" Lin Wei took a rhinestone and put it in her hand, shining it into the light, "There are still so many things to do, just relax and it's over."

Hu Xiwen sighed: "I doubt you two will get married in the future, right? You have to work so hard, you have to go back after just one day of honeymoon, and you don’t know who to sympathize with."

Lin Wei paused and looked at her in disbelief: "Did you misunderstand something?"

She admitted that sometimes she did. She may have some impure thoughts, but they are all caused by hormones and cannot be controlled by reason. They are some of the bad instincts of human beings that remain in animals. When she becomes immune to Song Ye's beauty, they will become relatives, and they will be with Wu Ming. Just the same, there are no more charming thoughts.

Hu Xiwen shrugged, "Okay, I misunderstood," she didn't insist on the topic, "Did the trip go well?"

"Pretty well." Lin Wei started picking gems from the box.

Hu Xiwen shook his head, then took the red gem she picked and continued his work: "I found that no matter where you are, you are the center of the topic. I originally went out and thought it would be okay, but it turned out that the newspapers were all about you. "

Hu Xiwen meant there's no need to lie to her. She's read the newspaper. You've made a big mistake this time, so there's no need to force a smile.

Lin Wei said "Ah" noncommittally, and then said: "Get ready, Hezi is about to officially open for business."

Huh?

Hu Xiwen was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Mr. Lin, Sister Wen, good morning -"

People in the studio started working one after another, and the room gradually became lively.

Half an hour later, Lin Wei summoned Hezi's management for a meeting.

Hu Xiwen was a little out of state. Although he was prepared, he still felt unreal.

This was her first job. For more than half a year, design drafts were piled up in the office, and the decoration design drawings were revised over and over again. She watched Hezi's various frames being improved little by little. Compared with other efforts, she could reap the results. The process of work for her was too long. She sometimes thought that Lin Wei was not planning to open a business and was just looking for a studio for them to play in.

Although her reason told her that it was impossible, the investment in the store was astonishingly large, including rent and decoration, various expensive accessories, various high-end fabrics, leather goods and other raw materials, a lot of money was spent.

Before, she asked Lin Wei more than once when she would open her business, and her family also kept asking her what she was busy with.

But now, she suddenly felt a little nervous, and she subconsciously checked her work.

She was a little scared, afraid that her long-term expectations would be dashed.

She has given too much and expected too much. In the past, whenever she invested too much and expected too much, she would be disappointed in the end, whether it was relationships or studies.

...

HERZHI's store is located on the main road in Central, next to Fu Sheng's properties. It is considered the busiest road in Hong Kong. It has a business area of ​​500 square meters and a total of three floors. The first floor is mainly for high-quality women's clothing and shoes. , there is a luggage wall and various accessories on the second floor, and the third floor is specially designed for VIP members. Most of the clothes are advanced customization, and there is also a VIP room.

Herzi had not advertised once in the media until it opened.

Opened very suddenly.

Someone went in curiously and took a look, and was immediately surprised by the luxurious decoration inside, with gorgeous crystal lamps, plain white carpets, various sofas, and swing-style seating seats.

But what really catches the eye are some of the subtle designs, with small lights embedded in each niche, giving the items a more atmospheric and high-end feel.

From the spiral staircase, you can see a whole wall of luggage on the second floor, a circular glass booth, a four-story design, and beautiful accessories that are high-end and fashionable.

Clothes, accessories, bags, shoes, everything that catches your eye is beautiful, each one is unique, you have not seen it anywhere else, and each one also looks very expensive.

People who entered the store had made some mental preparations, but when they randomly asked about a piece of clothing, it turned out to cost 3,000 yuan, which instantly scared them away.

This is almost equal to the annual income of an ordinary person.

In the first three days of business, only one men's belt worth 1,200 yuan was sold.

In Central, where land is at a premium, one day's rent is already prohibitive. Add in water, electricity and manpower, and it's a huge expense every day.

Hu Xiwen was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night. She even wanted her mother to bring customers to support her, but Lin Wei said no and asked her to wait.

Sheng Meiyun comforted her: "The compensation is not your money. She is not in a hurry, and you don't have to be in a hurry."

But Hu Xiwen couldn't control his anxiety.

Looking at the tellers who were doing nothing, holding rags and looking for something to do, she felt that her expectations had once again been disappointed.

After two days, the situation got a little better. Occasionally, two people would come, but there were never as many customers as there were tellers.

She began to doubt herself, would anyone really buy such an expensive thing?

How many rich people are there in Hong Kong City? Can something that even she thinks is expensive really be sold?

Is there really a market for what she designs?

It wasn't until a week later that Hezi finally welcomed a special guest.

Earlier, Lin Wei gave Hu Xiwen a set of data and asked her to make a very luxurious dress. She took the designer with her and it took a month to complete it. Later, she made some corrections based on Lin Wei's opinions.

After the opening, this piece of clothing was placed on the third floor, temporarily serving as a store treasure.

The owner of this dress has arrived today.

Mrs. Eaton was welcomed into the store with cheers and cheers. As the spokesperson of the First Foreign Company, her trip must have attracted much attention. There were more than a dozen bodyguards and accompanying executives.

This group of people, the men were tall in suits and leather shoes, and the women were dressed in noble clothes with ladylike temperament. This group of people with outstanding temperament walked into the store.

It has to be said that tall foreigners do show off their temperament. British men like Freeman, who are 1.9 meters tall, will attract the attention of many people wherever they go.

After this group of people entered the store, they were immediately fused with the elegant and luxurious atmosphere of the store.

It seems that Hezi serves people like them.

When Mrs. Eaton put on that blue-purple dress, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

Sexy and elegant, bright and noble, she really should be the owner of this dress.

Mrs. Eaton has an excellent temperament. This dress is charming and close-fitting. It is sexy and elegant on her body. The exquisite gems are decorated on the chest. The high-quality fabrics are set against the rhinestones, making people unable to take their eyes away. .

Hu Xiwen felt a sense of pride inexplicably. Is this really the dress she designed? Simply a work of art.

"My dear, this dress is so beautiful." It can be seen that Mrs. Eaton really likes it. She looked at herself in the mirror, turned sideways, and looked at the dazzling tassels attached to her back. She said happily, "My dear, promise me that I will buy this skirt."

"This is not cheap," Lin Wei said with her chin on her lips, "The gems, pearls, diamonds, and gold threads on it are all carefully selected. "Our designers took 30 embroiderers and took three months to complete it. We used the most advanced embroidery technology, which you will never see anywhere else in the world."

Everyone exclaimed.

Freeman glanced at Lin Wei and didn't understand what she was trying to do, but this dress really suited Emily. She was so beautiful today that people couldn't take their eyes away. Money was not an issue.

Hu Xiwen was also stunned. Although she had heard that their boss Lin was exaggerated, this was her first time seeing him.

Mrs. Eaton was stunned, then smiled and said: "No matter how expensive it is, I will buy it because it is worth it."

"It's a pity that you don't have this opportunity. This dress is worth 100,000 pounds," Lin Wei said in the astonished eyes of everyone , smiled and said, "The reason why I have so many interactions with Fu Sheng is because of the 100,000 pound promissory note. I hope that "misunderstanding" can be completely ended because of this 100,000 pound skirt. This dress—"

Lin Wei paused, her eyes moved, and she smiled beautifully and softly: "For Ms. Emily."

I don’t know who took the lead, but everyone applauded.

Mrs. Eaton was startled. Facing the gazes from everyone, she smiled: "That said, I should buy it all the more, Lin - thank you, thank you for giving me such an opportunity. I am very happy that Fu Sheng can be with me." You have completely reached a reconciliation and kept all those terrible things away from us."

Mrs. Eaton stepped forward and gave Lin Wei a hug.

Under the bright light, the image freezes again.

In the end, Mrs. Eaton "begged" to buy the dress for 100,000 pounds. Although Lin Wei declined several times, she did not dispel the other party's determination to pay.

Hu Xiwen was speechless, as if in a dream.

She felt like she was watching a movie. The characters were fake and what was happening was unreal. Every frame seemed designed.

But in the end, all she knew was one thing.

Her dress sold - £100,000.

1.6 million Hong Kong dollars...
