Anthony was also very happy after hearing this. Every country has its own degree of oppression on women in terms of appearance, but not many people are awakening to the consciousness of resistance. "We should encourage it. What does the little girl want? I will discuss it with the dean."
Huang Wanzhen was surprised by the excitement of the two. It was just a foot bath, wasn't it? Was it that serious? However, she certainly wouldn't refuse such a benefit that was delivered to her door.
"Well, you're too polite. Just give me an honorary certificate. I don't need anything."
Anthony saw that she didn't ask for too much, and his impression of her improved. "Okay, okay, leave it to me."
Delicious Western restaurant in Xinjieli.
Shen Junyan diligently placed the cut steak in front of Huang Wanzhen. Chu Yanzhi wanted to cover his eyes when he saw it, and bared his teeth uncomfortably, "Junyan, what are you doing? That's enough."
"What do you know? Huang Wanzhen has made significant contributions to the liberation of Chinese women, yet she refuses to take credit for it. Such a fearless spirit deserves the highest etiquette." Shen Junyan squinted at Chu Yanzhi and said, "Put away that jealous look on your face and stop scaring people."
Huang Wanzhen couldn't stand Shen Junyan like this, and she rubbed her arms subconsciously.
"Are you cold? The weather has been getting colder recently. It's time to put on more clothes. I'll take you to buy two pieces of clothes later." Shen Junyan said seriously.
Huang Wanzhen quickly raised her hand to stop him, "No, no, I opened my own Furongju, which not only sells cheongsams but also Western-style dresses. You don't need to go anywhere else to buy them."
Shen Junyan hurriedly took out a notebook and pen, "Really? Then I should come more often. Where is it? Tell me."
As soon as Huang Wanzhen gave the address, she heard Chu Yanzhi's sneer from the opposite side, "Furongju, just hearing the name, you know it sells women's things. You, a grown man, going to a place like that? Isn't it shameful?"
Shen Junyan rolled her eyes and said, "I have many sisters at home, and I can't use them myself, so it's good to buy some for them."
Huang Wanzhen always felt that Chu Yanzhi's words were unpleasant and a bit sarcastic. "There are men too. Here, look at the men's suits I designed."
Huang Wanzhen opened her handbag and took out the suit pattern she had designed for Zheng Yusang while working overtime that night.
Shen Junyan stretched out his hand, but before he could touch the blueprint, Chu Yanzhi snatched it away and said, "Let me take a look at it for you."
"Did you draw this? Are you kidding me?"
Shen Junyan leaned over to take a look. "The painting is quite three-dimensional. Have you studied Western painting?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded and said, "I've learned sketching."
"Haha, not bad, I like this one very much. Make one for me." Shen Junyan took the blueprint from Chu Yanzhi with a smile, "Do you mind if I mark the dimensions on it?"
The customer is God. How could Huang Wanzhen refuse God's request? She nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, but we have to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is too much work before the festival, and we are short of manpower and can't rush it out."
Chu Yanzhi curled his lips, "Silly boy, if I were you, even if I didn't sleep, I would still have to rush out the suit for Mr. Shen San. His family takes the Mid-Autumn Festival very seriously, with all kinds of visits to relatives and friends, large and small banquets, it's a good opportunity for your 'Furongju' to become famous."
He paused, took a sip of coffee, and continued, "Your design is good, but the shop's name is too feminine, and it immediately limits the customer base to women."
As mentioned before, Huang Wanzhen is a person who listens to advice. Although Chu Yanzhi's attitude is not very good, this suggestion is really "pertinent".
"Thank you, Dr. Chu, for reminding me. I will change it when I get home."
Thinking that everyone loves to hear auspicious words, Huang Wanzhen's eyes lit up, "How about calling it Jixiangju?"
Chu Yanzhi swallowed the steak in his mouth and suggested, "'Ju' is a bit stingy. Why not change it to 'Tang'? Also, you can keep 'Furong Ju'. You can open two doors. The big door has a plaque that says 'Jixiang Tang' and both men and women are welcome. The small door has a plaque that says 'Furong Ju' and men are not allowed in. Only women are welcome. How great is that?"
Huang Wanzhen felt a little insecure when she thought of her small shop which was barely 30 square meters.
"Haha, thank you."
After dinner, Huang Wanzhen took a rickshaw to Furongju in Dengshikou. She looked up at the door plaque and thought that she was too busy before the festival and had no time to change it. She decided to put it back in place after the festival.
"Miss, you're here? Come and take a look! Xiuqing has already handed out a Western dress and three cheongsams this morning. How could we possibly finish all of this work just with the three of us? I tried to stop Xiuqing, but she wasn't happy. Those customers are all adorned with gold and silver, but they're not easy to offend. If we can't hand in the clothes on time, they can teach us a lesson with just a flick of their fingers."
As soon as Huang Wanzhen entered the shop, she was caught by Xiulan and started to complain.
Huang Wanzhen was just worrying about rushing to finish the work for Shen Junyan in the evening, but she didn't expect to receive another order.
"Okay, okay, hide the booklet and don't put it on display. We'll take it out after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After saying that, he paced around the shop anxiously, "I went out today and also took an order for men's suits. What should I do now?"
Suits are the most time-consuming to make. The pattern-making process cannot be skipped, and cutting also takes a lot of effort.
"What? It seems like we have to find help." Xiulan looked regretful.
Xiuqing seemed to realize that her behavior was inappropriate and hurriedly suggested, "Miss Xiuzhu, who works with the madam, is the best at needlework. Why don't you ask her to help?"
Xiulan pointed at her angrily, "Madam is good at sewing and works quickly! Why don't you ask Madam to help you with the work?"
Xiuqing lowered her head and muttered softly, "How dare I..."
Xiulan happened to have sharp ears and heard it all. "You still don't dare? You even dare to target the people around my wife. Doesn't that mean my wife has to work all by herself? Now that Xiuzhu is here, who will cook for my wife? Who will do the laundry for her?"
Huang Wanzhen quickly interrupted the two of them, "Don't argue, don't argue, I'll think of another way."
At this time, Huang Wanzhen also wanted to hire two more people to help, but it was very difficult to find a good tailor during this festival. If she hired two people first, it would be difficult to fire them after the festival.
After thinking about it, Huang Wanzhen really came up with a good idea.
"Sewing machine? What is that?" Xiulan was skeptical about Huang Wanzhen's proposal.
"Sewing machines are much faster than hand sewing. One machine can do the work of dozens of people. The stitches are not only straight and dense, but also very fast. You can finish sewing in one stroke in the blink of an eye." Huang Wanzhen counted on her fingers and explained to Xiulan and Xiuqing the power of the sewing machine.
Xiulan and Xiuqing looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes.
After Huang Wanzhen left excitedly, Xiulan shook her head in disappointment, "The young lady is so smart, I thought she could solve the problem by coming back."
