Chapter 312
After dinner, Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun went to Baihua Street to meet the wholesaler at the agreed location.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a slightly overweight man dressed in a very "street" style walked out of the crowded street.
The man was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, a short round top, and bell-bottoms, which he pulled up high with a designer leather belt, fastening it to his beer belly.
On her feet were a pair of pointed leather shoes with rather high heels.
It's those foreign rock bands, the ones who play bass or guitar, and these days they love wearing these pointed leather shoes, standing on huge speakers, nodding and swaying their heads.
The man wore a thick gold necklace around his neck, about the thickness of an index finger, and a wristwatch with a movement on his wrist, which didn't look cheap.
He also had a genuine leather wallet with English letters printed on it tucked under his arm, which was bulging with cash, and he was holding a mobile phone with an antenna that was about the length of a brick.
However, because his legs are too short, his height is estimated to be less than 1.7 meters, and his beer belly is too prominent, he walks like a waddling penguin.
This nouveau riche outfit was, in the eyes of Ji Wanmei, a fashion designer, almost unbearable to look at.
The man walked straight up to Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun, looked up, and scanned them up and down, making no attempt to hide his surprise and amazement.
"Were you the two who called me before to schedule a pickup?"
When he opened his mouth, Ji Wanmei almost couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard his broken Mandarin accent from Guangzhou.
Lei Tingjun was tall and had a straight back. Standing next to this "nouveau riche" boss, the difference in their physical stature was enormous.
One of them craned its neck to look, its face contorted in surprise, its small eyes wide open, its eyebrows twitching – it was quite comical.
Lei Tingjun, on the other hand, remained indifferent, his eyes lowered, his face completely devoid of any emotion, and he responded with a curt "Yes, it's us."
Ji Wanmei raised her hand, clenched her fist, and held it to her lips to suppress her laughter.
Anyone with eyes could see that the imposing man in front of him and the beautiful woman beside him were a couple.
This chubby nouveau riche has been doing business all over the country for years and has met countless people. Naturally, he could tell at a glance the intimate relationship between the man and woman.
Even so, he was still somewhat shocked, never expecting that the clients who had invited him over to discuss business today would be such an 'eye-catching' pair of customers.
Especially that lady, although she was only wearing a simple and casual outfit, with her hair down over her shoulders and clipped behind her ears with two hairpins, and carrying a handbag, she stood there smiling sweetly without saying a word, and she was a beautiful sight to behold.
The chubby boy had never seen such a beautiful woman before; he had only ever seen them on television, in the case of those stunning Hong Kong movie stars.
When Lei Tingjun noticed that the chubby boy's eyes kept lingering on Ji Wanmei, his brows furrowed and he said coldly, "Where is your wholesale store? Take me there."
But the chubby boy was only momentarily stunned by Ji Wanmei's stunningly beautiful appearance; he didn't have any lewd thoughts.
He turned to Lei Tingjun with a smile and said, "Brother, you're really lucky! Your girlfriend is gorgeous!"
“We’re not far from Hong Kong, and we love Hong Kong movie stars. If your boyfriend were to become a movie star, he would definitely be the most popular one.”
This wasn't the first time Ji Wanmei had heard someone say something like that.
Even though she was so low-key after entering East China University, her reputation as the campus beauty spread like wildfire.
Going back further—
She still remembers that when she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, when her beauty was just beginning to show, she went to the city to take the unified college entrance examination in her senior year of high school. While waiting outside the school where she was taking the exam, she met a person who spoke Cantonese-accented Mandarin.
The moment that person saw her, he was awestruck. He came over, handed her a business card, and talked for a long time, gesturing wildly.
The gist of it is that he thinks Ji Wanmei is very beautiful, and if she doesn't do well on her exams, she can consider going to Hong Kong with him to study in some kind of star training program, and then she can sign with a company and act in movies in Hong Kong.
Ji Wanmei was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time. She had been well protected by her father since childhood and always kept her distance from strangers who behaved strangely.
Moreover, the homeroom teacher who took them to the exam was also present. When he saw someone harassing his students, he sternly chased the person away.
The business card that Ji Wanmei had slipped into her hand was taken away and thrown away by her homeroom teacher, who earnestly told her, "Studying hard is the right thing to do. She has good grades and talent, so don't go down those crooked paths. Especially don't associate with people of dubious origin, or you might get scammed one day."
At that time, Ji Wanmei was innocent and naive, and she listened to her teacher's words very much.
Moreover, she herself never had that idea of becoming a movie star.
She knew perfectly well that she wasn't cut out for that. She also didn't have that interest.
If you had to ask her what she wanted to do, Ji Wanmei would say she wanted to be a designer.
She had this hobby since she was a child, but her father had already planned her future path, making her study management and arranging for her to marry someone he thought he knew well.
In her past life, Ji Wanmei was a good girl her whole life, but she did not get the happy life that her father had arranged for her.
In this lifetime, she kept it a secret from her father and vowed never to be a good girl again.
Her life, destiny, and happiness are in her own hands and her own hands.
