Early the next morning, Qin Xun knocked on Su Qingyun's door. For convenience, he stayed here last night.
"Uncle." Su Qingyun opened the door sleepily, "Are you going so early?" Are those foreigners so enthusiastic?
Qin Xun smiled and said, "Uncle will take you to buy some clothes first."
"Buy clothes?" Su Qingyun was confused. "What clothes? Uncle, I have plenty of clothes."
Every time her father went out to buy goods, he would bring back a lot of clothes for her, so she never lacked clothes.
"Since you're going to be a translator, you should act like one," Qin Xun said. "Your clothes don't fit."
Su Qingyun's clothes have always been simple and elegant, and there is nothing wrong with them, but for such a serious occasion, she still has to dress more formally.
"Okay, I'll clean it up right away." Su Qingyun nodded.
Qin Xun went downstairs and waited for her while eating breakfast. Soon, Su Qingyun came downstairs and said, "Uncle."
"Come, have breakfast before you leave."
"good."
Su Qingyun ate a bun in just a few bites and was already half full. He drank a glass of milk and that was almost enough.
"Let's go." Qin Xun invited Su Qingyun to go out.
Qin Xun's car was parked outside Oak Alley. As Su Qingyun approached, Chen Musheng rolled down the window, leaned out from the driver's seat, waved, and greeted with a smile, "Miss Su, long time no see."
"You're here this time too?" Su Qingyun was a little surprised.
Ever since her uncle started running between Hong Kong and Beijing, he couldn't take care of many things in Hong Kong, so he handed them over to Chen Musheng to handle. Chen Musheng was actually called to Beijing for this project, which must be very important.
"I'm here to drive for the Third Master." Chen Musheng said with a smile in his eyes.
"Let's go." Qin Xun got in the car and ordered, "Let's go to the Friendship Store."
Friendship Store? Su Qingyun was surprised for a second. Not everyone could go to the Friendship Store.
The full name of the Friendship Store is Beijing Friendship Store. It was founded in the 1960s and has a history of nearly 20 years. Its geographical location is also very special. It is located along the land-scarce Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, outside the Gate of the People's Republic, adjacent to the embassy district. It is the only foreign-related store in Beijing.
This is a "holy place" in the hearts of Beijingers, a window for ordinary citizens to peek into the world of goods. Jewelry, diamonds, gold and silver ornaments, classical furniture, silk products, fine wines and teas, and tens of thousands of other categories are available. You can find everything here, only things you can't imagine. The Friendship Store even has a slogan: "We want the best of what's available on the market, we must have the best of what's lacking on the market, and we must have the latest foreign fashions!"
The top-notch goods, high prices, and the rule of only accepting foreign guests and requiring passports and overseas Chinese certificates to enter made ordinary people feel helpless, not to mention the foreign exchange coupons that were extremely difficult to obtain.
So now, the people who come in and out of the Friendship Store are basically special people, foreign experts, diplomats, overseas Chinese and other important figures. It was not until several years later that the Friendship Store began to gradually open to the public through "night market tickets" and invitations.
Su Aimin kept saying at home that if he could have the goods from the Friendship Store, he would have expanded his business all over the country long ago.
Thinking of this, Su Qingyun became interested for a rare time. She did have foreign exchange coupons, but she had never been to the Friendship Store. She also wanted to see how grand the Friendship Store was in the 1980s.
Soon, the car drove to the outside of the Friendship Store, and Su Qingyun and Qin Xun got out.
"Third Master, Miss Su, please go in. I'll be waiting for you outside." Chen Musheng said. He had no interest in shopping in these shops.
"good."
Su Qingyun looked at the four-story Friendship Store in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is indeed the best store, the business area here is more than 9,000 square meters, the shopping environment is spacious and bright, comfortable and elegant, and the supporting facilities are complete. As expected, the customers coming in and out are basically blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners. Before even walking in, you can feel the extremely rich cultural atmosphere.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, please come in." As soon as I entered the door, a receptionist came forward with a smile on his face and the waiter's attitude was very good.
Su Qingyun was surprised. Everyone here knew her uncle?
As if he could see the confusion in her heart, Qin Xun explained calmly, "I came here once last time with the leaders above."
"Oh." Su Qingyun nodded.
The receptionist was very enthusiastic. "Mr. Qin, do you need to buy anything today?" The superiors had already told us that Mr. Qin was a very important Hong Kong businessman, and if he came to their Friendship Store, he must be received well.
"Pick a dress for this lady, something formal, for attending meetings." Qin Xun indicated to her that the protagonist was Su Qingyun.
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his smile and said, "Okay."
"If it's clothes, we recommend custom-made. Our Friendship Store has experienced craftsmen with decades of experience, and they can make any style you want."
Qin Xun shook his head. "I want it now. There's no time left to make it."
"Okay." The receptionist nodded readily. "Then let's go to the women's clothing section. There are many styles, many of which are foreign brands."
"good."
Qin Xun and Su Qingyun followed her to the women's clothing area, and the receptionist recommended several sets of clothes based on Su Qingyun's appearance and figure.
"Miss, do you have any styles here that you like?" the receptionist asked Su Qingyun. "If you like any, we have a fitting room here where you can try it on to see if it fits you."
"Thank you, I'll take another look." Su Qingyun declined with a smile.
Let's not talk about the quality of the goods in this Friendship Store. Just the service attitude alone is miles ahead of others. The sales clerks in other department stores have a stable job that everyone envies in this day and age. They are one of the eight major members and are very arrogant. If you expect them to serve customers with this kind of attitude, it is basically impossible.
Su Qingyun found it somewhat novel that he could enjoy the treatment of the service industry in the future in this era.
"Qingyun, go and take a look yourself. Which one do you like?" Qin Xun sat on the chair.
"I'll go take a look."
Su Qingyun's eyes wandered back and forth throughout the garment area, and soon she set her eyes on a simple yet elegant suit: a silk white shirt with a scarf-like collar that looked elegant and beautiful when tied into a knot; and a black mid-length skirt that was fashionable yet dignified, making it very suitable for attending meetings.
"Can I try that set?" Su Qingyun walked over and asked, pointing at the clothes.
"Of course," the receptionist said with a smile, "You have excellent taste. We imported that suit from Country F. It's the only one in the entire Friendship Store. You have a well-proportioned figure, so it should fit you well."
As she said that, she was going to get her clothes.
"Only one set?" A female voice suddenly said, "Then I'll take it. Please pack it for me."
Suddenly, someone appeared and snatched her love away. Su Qingyun frowned and looked back.
