"Leselfes was founded by the French master craftsman Zoé, who redefined the fountain pen with a concept of lightness and elegance. His partner, banker Alfred Nehemias, believed that writing was a noble pursuit, so he introduced the concept of aristocratic fountain pens and high-quality inks. He hired dozens of pen makers to jointly develop and improve ink pen technology, striving to make each pen as light and graceful as a Leselfes dancing in the forest. The translation of Leselfes is 'elf,' and thus the first Leselfes fountain pen was born, named Roidesesprits, thus opening up the market for aristocratic fountain pens. In the same year, the fountain pens produced alongside Roidesesprits were all called the Royal Series, which are classics among fountain pens..."
Throughout the entire session, Cheng Yi maintained an elegant smile and spoke eloquently about the history of Leselfes.
Even the sales clerk who had just inwardly despised her for losing her aristocratic manners couldn't help but reveal a hint of amazement, realizing that her contempt for her was a prejudice.
Zoé, the founder of Leselfes, once said that every pen has its soulmate, someone who understands its beauty and cherishes it from the bottom of their heart. So when buyers have disputes, this method is used to help the pen choose the most suitable owner.
No pen from the Leselfes brand is cheap, regardless of its price.
Cheng Yi spoke for a full five minutes, her gaze never leaving Yan Hanxi's face. Yan Hanxi's expression remained indifferent, as if listening to a foreign language, unmoved and unfazed.
This made her a little anxious. Did Yan Hanxi not know about the Leselfes brand, so he didn't know how impressive it was that she could talk about such obscure knowledge?
It wasn't until He Jing asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Cheng Yi had no choice but to turn her gaze away from Yan Hanxi, suppressing her disappointment, and smiled at He Jing: "Does He Jing have anything to add?"
“Of course,” He Jing said. “All that you’ve said is about the history of the Leselfes brand, which has nothing to do with the pen you want to buy. What I’m going to tell you is the story of this pen.”
Cheng Yi's pretty face stiffened. She looked at the half-finished fountain pen lying in the gift box and said, "What kind of story could this fountain pen have? You're not going to make it up on the spot, are you?"
He Jing laughed: "You think I'm like you?"
He knows absolutely nothing about physics, yet he can still lie through his teeth and boast that he's number one in physics.
Hearing He Jing say this, the clerk was also surprised: "Miss, do you know the story behind this pen?"
Those who work as sales clerks know the stories about expensive pens by heart, but are completely ignorant about pens priced at ten thousand.
He Jing said, "This fountain pen is called Lecocon. It is designed specifically for women. That's right, it is a fountain pen for women only, and it is also the only special edition from Leselfes."
"Adam, the third-generation heir of Zoé, the founder of Leselfes, fell in love with a poor woman named Monroe. Monroe was unable to afford school or a fountain pen. Her life was tragic. She washed dishes in a restaurant for many years, and her hands developed calluses. Calluses are the Chinese name of this fountain pen."
"Adam suffered a terrible ordeal due to family rivalry and went through a very dark period. It was Monroe who found her by chance, took care of her, and gave her the courage to live. So Adam fell in love with Monroe. But Adam and Monroe were both women, and Adam had a prince fiancé, so she couldn't express her feelings until she missed Monroe and lost all contact with him."
"She always deeply missed Monroe and never gave up searching for him. She called this love, which could not be made public, the most passionate friendship in the world. It wasn't until her later years that she had the opportunity to tell him. Her son was grateful for Monroe's kindness and shed tears for their love, so he created the Lecocon fountain pen to commemorate his mother's story with Monroe. This is the origin of the Lecocon."
He Jing said, "Lecocon represents the most ardent friendship in the world. Its price is not high because Adam's son hopes that everyone in the world can have it and not miss out on their beloved like his mother did."
