Chapter 47 The First Business
"The style looks pretty nice. Is it a cheongsam?" Zhang Xi asked, his eyes constantly looking at the clothes they were wearing.
Both of them have good figures, and this dress makes them look more graceful and elegant.
"It looks different from ordinary cheongsams. Has it been altered?"
"Yes, you have a good eye." Liu Miao said with a smile, "This is a modified cheongsam. My family is the only one in the country that has it."
Zhang Xi nodded, feeling comfortable with her compliment. "Very good. Where is your store? Take me to have a look."
Li Baijie was a little overwhelmed, "We don't have a store yet..."
There is no store yet. Zhang Xi was stunned and a little unhappy. "What business do you have without a store? Are you kidding me?"
She was about to leave angrily, but was stopped by a sudden female voice, "Although we don't have a store, we can provide door-to-door service."
The voice was clear and convincing, and Zhang Xi couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the sound.
A beautiful woman in a light magnolia cheongsam stood in front of her. The well-cut cheongsam outlined her slender and graceful figure. She smiled at her, like a decent and generous lady from a noble family.
"Who are you.."
"Oh, I designed these cheongsams. My name is Zhou Nuan."
Zhang Xi's expression softened. "Did you design these cheongsams?"
Zhou Nuan nodded, not ashamed at all. After all, she had already traveled to this world, and no one was asking her for copyright infringement, so she just regarded it as a small reward for being thrown into this book for no reason.
"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful at such a young age."
"Thank you." Zhou Nuan accepted her praise graciously, "Sister, do you want to buy one?"
Zhang Xi hesitated. She really liked these novel cheongsams. The most important thing was that her mother-in-law's birthday was in a few days. Her mother-in-law was old-fashioned and couldn't stand the afro and bell-bottom pants worn by young people today. She thought they were weird clothes.
But most of the clothes on the market now are fashionable Western-style clothes, and it is really hard to find many that suit her taste.
These modified cheongsams are very suitable, but they don’t even have a store, so she is really worried.
Zhou Nuan saw her hesitation and explained with a smile, "Although we don't have a store, we have hired experienced craftsmen to tailor the clothes. You can rest assured about this, and we can provide door-to-door service, which will definitely satisfy you."
It sounded good, and Zhang Xi was shaken. "Okay, then you guys can come over tomorrow. I live on the 5th floor of Building 3 in Fulu Community. You can just knock on my door when the time comes."
Building 3, fifth floor? I didn’t expect that she was Gu Xiyue’s neighbor.
Zhou Nuan quickly agreed, said goodbye to her and watched her leave.
As soon as Zhang Xi disappeared from sight, Liu Miao said happily, "Xiao Nuan, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise we might not be able to convince her."
Li Baijie spoke with a worried look on her face, "Mrs. Zhang's lover is not simple. He seems to be from the Public Security Bureau. Are we really going to her house tomorrow?"
When Liu Miao heard this, he shrank back.
She had been arrested before and had an instinctive fear of people of this status.
Zhou Nuan said, "Go, why not? We are doing business seriously, what are we afraid of?"
He looked at the two people who were staring at each other in silence and said, "If you are worried, I will go by myself tomorrow."
Liu Miao mustered up his courage and said, "I'll go. I'm not in that line of work anymore. Xiao Nuan is right. We are doing business seriously. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll go tomorrow."
Seeing this, Li Baijie also expressed her opinion.
Zhou Nuan discussed with them and finally decided to take Liu Miao with her, not noticing the cold gaze of Sun Meixiang behind her.
After Zhou Nuan and the others left, Sun Meixiang returned to her residence and said to her mother as soon as she entered the door, "Guess who I met downstairs?"
"Who is it?"
"The female liar who came here a few days ago and pretended to be Brother Gu's wife."
Grandma Sun exclaimed, "Ah!" "Aren't they leaving yet?"
"How could she leave if she didn't get any money?" Sun Meixiang said disdainfully, "I see she's hanging out with those people behind her now. She's dressed so old-fashioned and coquettishly. She must still be thinking of cheating people."
Sun's mother looked hesitant, "Ah Xiang, could she really be Gu Sheng's lover?"
"How is that possible!" Sun Meixiang said with certainty, "If she is Brother Gu's lover, I will write my name Sun backwards!"
"But..." Why did she always feel like something was wrong?
"No buts, auntie, just listen to me." Sun Meixiang paused and asked, "Auntie, do you know who lives upstairs?"
Sun's mother didn't expect her to ask this, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking."
"The person living upstairs is Mrs. Zhang. I heard that her husband works at the Public Security Bureau. Her mother's side of the story also has a very high status. You'd better not mess with her." Mother Sun warned.
Sun Meixiang’s eyes rolled.
It turned out to be the family members of the police. That female swindler was in big trouble as she dared to offend others. Although I don’t know what they said, it must be nothing good. I’ll just let her watch the show.
The next day, after Zhou Nuan finished packing, she and Liu Miao took a few cheongsams and went to Fulu Community.
When she passed 401, she paused slightly, but soon continued walking up and reached the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is slightly different from the fourth floor. There are two households on the fourth floor, but only one on the fifth floor. The door is closed, and sounds can be heard coming from inside.
Liu Miao glanced at her, and Zhou Nuan nodded, "Knock on the door."
Liu Miao quickly stepped forward and knocked twice gently, "Dong Dong."
There was a pause in the voices inside, and soon someone came to open the door, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
The door opened from the inside. Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Xi who came to open the door himself. Seeing that it was them, Zhang Xi nodded and said, "Are you here? Please come in."
Zhou Nuan smiled at her neither humbly nor arrogantly, walked in calmly first, and Liu Miao hurriedly followed.
The interior decoration of the house was not luxurious, but it had everything you need, such as a TV, refrigerator, and telephone. Zhang Xi was the only one in the living room, and no one knew who she was talking to just now.
"Have you brought everything?" Zhang Xi asked her.
Zhou Nuan asked Liu Miao to take out the cheongsams they brought one by one. "These are the styles we have now. You can take a look. If you are not satisfied, I also brought a brochure with other styles for you to choose from. However, it will take some time for them to be made."
Zhang Xi looked at the cheongsam in front of her with a satisfied expression on her face. She has always been very picky, otherwise she wouldn't have searched for so long without finding one that suits her. The cheongsam in front of her is simply her dream dress.
"Very good, I like them very much, I'll take these two, how much?"
