"Ms. Zhong."

Zhong Qing walked closer to her, her cat-like light brown eyes were smiling, "I caught a glimpse of you when I passed by, and asked the driver to stop the car. When I walked over there, I was still thinking that it would be embarrassing if I recognized the wrong person. Fortunately, it was really you."

After hearing what Zhong Qing said, Shen Mingzhu noticed that there was a beige Bentley sedan parked on the roadside fifty meters ahead.

Tsk, this damn capitalism really makes people envious, jealous and hateful.

Zhong Qing looked at the crabapple tree in front of her, "Is there anything special about this crabapple tree? From the time I saw you and got out of the car and walked over to you, you looked at it for about five minutes."

Shen Mingzhu was not really looking at Haitang, but was thinking about whether to bribe or give gifts to the people from the Food Administration.

However, she couldn't tell Zhong Qing about this feeling.

"I was just thinking about something, and I was a little lost in thought."

After a pause, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to talk about the loan, "...Ms. Zhong, thank you very much for your help."

Zhong Qing smiled, "I'm getting engaged."

The topic change caught Shen Mingzhu off guard, "Ah, congratulations."

Zhong Qing smiled, "What I did for you was just a small thing, but if you really want to thank me, why not accompany me to look at engagement dresses? You have nothing better to do than stand in the sun and stare blankly anyway."

Shen Mingzhu wanted to say that she wasn't that free, but when she looked into the other person's smiling eyes, she somehow agreed: "...Okay."

Zhong Qing happily pulled her towards the Bentley, as if she was afraid that she would change her mind and run away.

After getting on the pirate ship, no, in the car, Zhong Qing said with a smile, "Do you remember what I said to you when we parted last time?"

Shen Mingzhu said proudly, "My last name is Shen, Shen Mingzhu."

Zhong Qing's light brown eyes sparkled, "Then I will call you Mingzhu from now on, is that okay?"

"If I said no, would you not shout?"

Zhong Qing shook her head and said with a smile, "You can call me Qingqing, don't call me Miss Zhong, I don't like it."

Shen Mingzhu was silent.

"What are you going to use the loan for?"

“I opened a food factory.”

Zhong Qing was a little surprised, "You are quite amazing."

Shen Mingzhu said modestly, "It's not really a factory, it's just the size of a workshop. The whole factory, including me as the boss, has less than ten people."

"That's amazing. It's amazing that you can come up with this idea."

The two of them chatted back and forth and got along quite well. There was no strangeness or awkwardness at all as if they had just met.

This is all thanks to Zhong Qing.

Although the other party is obviously a lady of noble family background, she does not have that condescending attitude. When talking to her, her brows are relaxed, there is a smile in her eyes, and her tone is gentle and unhurried. No matter what she says, she will listen carefully, making you feel a sense of respect and seriousness.

If I were to describe my time with Zhong Qing in four words, it would be like being bathed in a spring breeze.

The car soon stopped in front of a small courtyard that looked very old. On the wall next to the gate hung a signboard of unknown material, engraved with the Chinese characters "Jun Lin" in official script.

"This cheongsam shop has a history of nearly a hundred years. My family has loved making clothes in this shop since my grandmother's generation."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu's curiosity about the courtyard, Zhong Qing explained it to her considerately, reached out to push open the wooden door with copper rings, and led her into the courtyard.

The scenery in the courtyard is very ordinary, with some common flowers and plants, but they are well maintained and lushly green. Walking among them makes you feel relaxed and comfortable, as if you are at home.

The courtyard should be considered an ancient building, with doors, windows and beams all made of wood.

The three main rooms were connected and turned into an exhibition hall, where various finished cheongsams and some accessories that go with them are displayed.

"Ms. Zhong, you are here."

The staff wearing cheongsam enthusiastically led the two to the rest area, served them tea and snacks, then took out a picture album, knelt down beside Zhong Qing, and prepared to introduce it to Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing took a quick look, then raised her eyes and called to Shen Mingzhu, "Come over here and help me with my advice."

Afraid that she couldn't see it, Zhong Qing even moved the album closer to her.

"Let's look at them together. If you think the style is good-looking, please point it out to me."

"Um."

There are not many styles in the album, only seven or eight in total, and they should all be designed by the designer specially for Zhong Qing.

Shen Mingzhu chose a long style with a round neck and slanted lapel, while Zhong Qing herself chose a medium-length style with a high round neck and double lapel.

"Why don't we just make both models and then we can go choose the fabrics."

Zhong Qing closed the album with a smile and took Shen Mingzhu to the fabric room to choose fabric.

After selecting the fabric, the tailor took a tape measure to measure Zhong Qing's size.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu looking around boredly, Zhong Qing smiled and said, "Go out and take a look. You can see if there are any styles you like in the showroom."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

What woman doesn’t like beautiful clothes? Even if she can’t afford them, she will be happy to see them.

There was originally a staff member accompanying her, but Shen Mingzhu felt uncomfortable and sent the person away.

The courtyard is in the shape of a quadrangle. The three main rooms are exhibition halls, the left and right wing rooms are workshops, and the back room is the bathroom and dressing room.

In addition to various ready-made cheongsams, the exhibition hall in the main house also has jewelry that matches the cheongsam, such as pearl necklaces, ruby ​​earrings, jade bracelets, etc. Each piece is extraordinary.

Shen Mingzhu had just stopped in front of an icy green jade bracelet when she heard a familiar voice coming from the reception desk behind her.

"Is the cheongsam I ordered half a month ago ready?"

"It's ready, Miss Sun. Please wait a moment. I'll get it for you."

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to argue with the other party, so she just said to herself that enemies often meet on a narrow road, and didn't look back.

Sun Feifei didn't recognize Shen Mingzhu at first, she just wanted to take a casual look around. After all, every decoration in the exhibition hall was a rare treasure that could not be seen outside.

It was not until she walked to the jade bracelet that Shen Mingzhu was looking at that she widened her eyes in surprise.

"Shen Mingzhu!? Why are you here?"

Shen Mingzhu gave him a cold look, "Is this your home? No one else can come here?"

Sun Feifei was confused and asked, "Who brought you here?"

"Junlin" is famous in Fengcheng, but it is not open to the public and only receives regular customers. She took great pains to please a customer's wife before she had the opportunity to come in and customize a cheongsam.

Shen Mingzhu was an ordinary housewife, and she couldn't even get in without someone's introduction.

"It's none of your business." Shen Mingzhu said rudely.

Yan Yi’s warning was still fresh in her mind, and no matter how many doubts Sun Feifei had, she could only leave in disappointment.

Shen Mingzhu was slightly surprised by Sun Feifei's timely advice, but she didn't think much about it and continued to admire the bracelet attentively.

It is icy cool, clear and transparent, and the jade is warm and pure.

It’s so beautiful. When she has money, she will definitely buy it!

Although Sun Feifei was away from Shen Mingzhu, her eyes never left Shen Mingzhu, filled with viciousness and resentment like a poisonous snake.

"Ms. Sun, this is the dress you ordered. I'll take you to the dressing room to try it on."

"good."

After entering the locker room, Sun Feifei pretended to ask Shen Mingzhu casually.

When Sun Feifei learned that Shen Mingzhu was not brought in by Yan Yi, her fear was immediately alleviated a lot.

After trying on clothes, Sun Feifei returned to the exhibition hall and found that Shen Mingzhu was not there, but her handbag was placed on the sofa. A vicious thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
