Chapter 53: My girlfriend opened the business, everyone please come and support us...
In this fast-paced era, Zhuang Fuyao's request for customers to wear ancient costumes was out of step with the prevailing trend, and she was initially quite worried that this would be met with resistance from customers.
Surprisingly, customers not only didn't find it cumbersome, but also looked forward to the ancient costume experience at Qingfeng Pavilion. During the trial operation period, Qingfeng Pavilion became a new popular spot for ancient style cosplay.
After this discovery, she paid more attention to the quality of makeup and styling, and hired many young and professional makeup and styling teams, giving them a high degree of freedom.
If a customer's reservation is for dinner, they can come in the morning to get ready, wear Qingfengguan's clothes to go out and have fun all day, and then return to Qingfengguan for dinner in the evening.
This model is currently receiving very positive feedback.
In the dressing room, she picked out a chivalrous outfit for Liang Huaixu and added a bamboo hat, so that he wouldn't need any special hairstyling.
The fitting rooms at Qingfeng Pavilion were separated for men and women, so for convenience, she simply took Liang Huaixu to her office.
Of course, there was also a personal motive.
For example, right now, she's drinking coconut juice while watching Liang Huaixu change clothes; this viewing experience is no less than watching a male model show.
...When he took off his suit trousers, her eyes lit up.
He even had a black strap on his leg, and the strong, smooth muscle lines were bound by the black strap, which looked really awkward.
She stared intently at his legs. "What's this?"
“Shirt clip.” Liang Huaixu noticed her gaze, and somewhat awkwardly loosened the strap and removed the clip.
"You look quite handsome dressed like this." She unconsciously bit her straw and asked him, "Do you know how to wear that ancient costume?"
He glanced at the layered garment and said, "I need to take a closer look."
"Stop researching, I'll help you."
"….Um."
Liang Huaixu had already changed his pants, and his white shirt was casually draped over his body. His well-proportioned and firm abdominal muscles rose and fell gently with his breathing, revealing a touch of sexiness.
Zhuang Fuyao took a deep breath, went over and hugged him tightly. The soft lotus trim on her high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) brushed against his chest. She looked up at him and said, "Why don't you look old at all? You look no different from someone in their early twenties."
He looks more than ten years younger whenever he takes off his mature business attire and suits.
A smile appeared at the corner of Liang Huaixu's eyes. "I should be asking you that. When you came to Jiangda before, my colleagues thought you were still a college student."
"I'll take this outfit home with me after today."
"Why bring it home?"
Zhuang Fuyao blinked. "I want to see you wear it at home."
These words sent a surge of heat through Liang Huaixu's chest. After a couple of seconds, his voice, slightly hoarse, asked, "Do you like me dressed like this?"
“I love it.” Zhuang Fuyao said with a smile. “When I saw it just now, I was suddenly inspired. Liang Huaixu, you are truly my muse.”
This was the first time she had been inspired to create since she transmigrated.
It turned out he was drawing. He awkwardly dismissed the absurd thought that had just crossed his mind. "It's getting late, we have to go out. Could you help me figure out how to mail these clothes?"
“Like this…” She hugged him and fastened the straps at the back. “Okay, turn around now.”
Liang Huaixu stood there with his arms outstretched, completely still, obediently letting her hug him from all sides.
After this makeover, the previously sophisticated man in a suit has transformed into a cool and aloof swordsman in white, a sight to behold.
Zhuang Fuyao pressed a kiss on his lips, "If you go out like this, you'll definitely attract a lot of attention. What should I do? I'm a little reluctant to let you go out."
In the occasions where Liang Huaixu usually appears in public, people focus more on his identity and position, and less on his outward appearance.
Even those who know who he is rarely bold enough to approach him and strike up a conversation.
Looking at his girlfriend in a light blue dress, who was both lively and ethereal, Liang Huaixu's gaze deepened. "I should be the one who's more worried."
Zhuang Fuyao snorted, "Anyway, if I find out you've added other beautiful women to your phone, you're dead."
"I don't know how." Liang Huaixu smiled helplessly. "You can check my phone anytime. The password is your birthday."
Liang Huaixu's character and sense of boundaries with the opposite sex are almost impeccable.
Zhuang Fuyao was just teasing him; she felt that phones were quite private and she wouldn't actually look at them.
Of course, she definitely wouldn't let Liang Huaixu look at her phone, otherwise she would be too embarrassed if he saw the dozen or so restricted study materials on it.
She changed the subject and said, "I'll pack up your old clothes and put them in the closet for you, and put the brooches in there too."
"good."
When she was getting the brooch for him, Zhuang Fuyao suddenly exclaimed, "Why does it look a bit like my necklace? Could it be a matching couple's item?"
She had only asked casually, but she noticed that Liang Huaixu was avoiding her gaze and his ear tips were slightly red.
This man is really...
It's a couple's item, so what's there to be shy about?
Zhuang Fuyao's eyes crinkled into a smile.
After they left, she booked him a private room with straw mats in a traditional martial arts restaurant. "I have to go now. If you need anything, talk to the waiter or send me a message."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Zhuang Fuyao left, he pulled down the straw curtain and quietly enjoyed his tea for a while. The environment here was indeed quite nice, giving people a refreshing feeling.
When he first came in, the waiter offered him various kinds of sachets to choose from. He chose the mint and cardamom sachet, which was very refreshing.
Liang Huaixu took a picture of the teacup and posted it on his WeChat Moments: [Tea Tasting].
His casual post caused a huge stir in his WeChat Moments, garnering hundreds of likes, though most people only dared to like it silently.
Those who usually reply in the comments section are either of similar status to Liang Huaixu or have a good personal relationship with him.
Among them were several CEOs who often played golf with him, who asked in the comments section where this was.
Liang Huaixu replied in the group chat: "Qingfeng Pavilion is run by my girlfriend, please come and support her [smile]."
【Holy crap???】
When did this happen? No wonder you haven't had time to come out with us lately, turns out you've been dating.
Congratulations!!
In their circle, everyone has a few female companions; it's nothing unusual. Normally, they might even joke about it, saying, "When are you going to bring her out to meet us?"
But this was Liang Huaixu, his publicly acknowledged girlfriend, who would later become his designated wife. They dared not joke about it.
I just spammed the screen with a lot of congratulatory messages.
...
When Liang Chaolu saw this post on WeChat Moments, he was so surprised that he almost dropped his cup. His colleagues laughed at him, asking, "What gossip did you see?"
He shook his head mysteriously. "You don't understand."
He recognized the background as Qingfeng Pavilion; this was already the second WeChat Moments post from Lao Liang related to Ms. Zhuang.
Others might not understand, but he knew it was a subtle way of showing affection.
After regaining his senses, Liang Chaoluo gave a thumbs-up in support and commented: 【999[heart]】

After a busy day, the two students changed back into casual clothes, took the small cakes that Boss Zhuang had prepared for the employees, and prepared to go home to rest.
"Wait a minute," someone said, stopping at the flower baskets. "Let's see if any were sent by Professor Liang."
The flower baskets and banners for Qingfeng Pavilion stretched for a long time. The group searched together and quickly found one that read, "Here, wishing Qingfeng Pavilion a grand opening. Signed Liang Huaixu."
"This is too official; you can't tell anything from it at all."
"Exactly, I thought we could find some details."
"Hey, let's go..." the man suddenly raised his voice, "Wait a minute!"
He stood by a flower basket and read, "Wishing my dearest mother a prosperous business opening, signed by Liang Chaoluo."
"Mother???"
"And his surname is Liang..."
A bold guess popped into their minds, and they exclaimed in unison, "Are President Zhuang and Professor Liang husband and wife?"
"No, no, no," said the one who loved gossip the most. "It should be his ex-wife."
"How so?"
Do you know something?
"...Ahhh, tell me quickly!"
"Don't be in such a hurry." He touched the bridge of his nose and said mysteriously, "It is said that Professor Liang was married before. I heard that his ex-wife was his high school classmate and his first love. Although the two divorced, Professor Liang has not found a new partner all these years. Some people guess that Professor Liang still misses his ex-wife."
"You're so knowledgeable! How do you know so much about the architecture department?"
"Ha." He chuckled. "My girlfriend works in the architecture department, which means I'm practically part of the architecture department myself."
He asked mysteriously, "Professor Liang's course is particularly unpopular, difficult and boring to learn, but it has the highest enrollment and attendance rates. What do you think is the reason?"
"...It can't be that bad, can it? Isn't the architecture department mostly male?"
"No, that's not it. What I mean is that Professor Liang has a very strong personal charisma. If it weren't for the university, ordinary people would never have the chance to get close to such a big shot. Everyone would want to be as close as possible to him, even if it's just to learn a little bit."
"But I also saw a rumor about Professor Liang having an affair with a teacher from the architecture department. He has an ex-wife on one hand and a female teacher on the other. Isn't that a bit complicated?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The students in the architecture department, including my girlfriend, all have a very high opinion of Professor Liang. As far as I know, they are just senior and junior students."
"Okay." The man shrugged and told his roommate about what he had seen and heard that day on his way home.
……
After get off work, Shu Run and Song Qing also came to support them.
Song Qing had been on a business trip for a while, crying and laughing, and only returned to Jiang City at noon today. She looked like she had been drained of all her energy. Now that she saw Shu Run, her eyes lit up a little. "Waaah Bagel, come here and let me hug you for a while."
"What's wrong?" Shu Run patted her back with a smile.
"I'm so tired, I'm really busy as a dog. I was supposed to go back yesterday, but our band had a conflict with the organizers and argued for a long time, which delayed us. Luckily it's not too late. If I had missed the opening of Qingfeng Pavilion, I would have hated those people."
"Me too, I've been bothered by some troubles at work and at home..." Shu Run paused, "Never mind that, today is a good day, we should be happy!"
"I have to be happy!" Song Qing couldn't wait to pull Shu Run towards the dressing room. "I saw Qingfeng Pavilion's beautiful clothes online a long time ago. I'm going to dress up nicely today."
"Uh-huh!"
The makeup and styling took a total of forty minutes. While relaxing, Shurun suddenly remembered something.
Today is the opening day, will Uncle Liang come?
Her understanding of Uncle Liang mostly came from the internet and from Liang Chaoluo's words. Although she had never met him in person, she was quite intimidated by him.
One New Year's Eve, she was video chatting with Tony Leung when she heard Uncle Leung ask, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
A single sentence conveys an imposing and authoritative aura.
She was afraid of people who had too much of a leadership presence, especially since the other person was Liang Chaoluo's father.
Just as she was thinking this, Song Qing said, "Speaking of which, I wonder if my sister's ex-husband will be here."
"I think so," Shu Run replied absentmindedly.
