Shu Tao was summoned back to the house by her sister, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her sister sitting alone on the sofa, and Shu Tao asked, "You are alone, where did your mother go?"

"Mom and aunt have made faces!" Shulei said listlessly, "I was overexcited just now, so I feel very tired now, this woman is prone to drowsiness once she is pregnant!"

"What the hell is going on, you want your sister and me to run away by myself?"

"We'll find out later, let's go!"

Shulei glanced at Ma Jun in front of her and smiled politely at him.

Ma Jun said: "But today my car can only seat two people." ”

When Shulei heard this, she said: "Sister, you didn't drive your own car, it's really happy to have a coachman to pick you up! ”

After speaking, Shulei called her family's personal driver, Lao Zhang, and the three of them sat in the car, and they arrived at the place where Shulei wanted to take them in fifteen minutes.

They followed Shulei into the Shanghai Tower, and Shutao asked suspiciously, "Did you ask us to come and see the house?"

"No, the matter of opening a wedding company is suspended, I will bring you to help me see the wedding dress!"

When Shutao heard it, he was instantly full of interest. She likes to help people choose clothes on weekdays, which is a bad habit she has developed since she was a child, and she can't change it now.

Located in the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone of Pudong New Area, the Shanghai Tower spirals upward, with openings on the surface of the building rotating from the bottom to the top into the city skyline.

Shu Tao heard Uncle Hou tell them in the induction training that this shape design can reduce the lateral force by 24%, which is crucial for Shanghai buildings, which are often tested by typhoons.

Shutao wondered why this bridal shop was chosen in such a building?

Because the building can withstand the test of typhoons, it means that marriage can also withstand the destruction of time?

After a while, their elevator arrived at the bridal designer store, the whole store covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters, the decoration is chic, as soon as you enter the store, there is an area where countless white orchids and golden vines are placed, all the window sills are decorated with endless white tulips, the store is fragrant, although the overall design effect is inferior to the overall installation design effect of the haute couture boutique in Paris, but the overall style is still more comfortable.

As soon as you look at the style of this store, it is clear that the wedding dress here, even a thin veil, can cost tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention these exquisitely made ready-to-wear dresses and men's suits with top-quality fabrics.

Shu Tao thought that this store was also very special to open in an office building, and it was also extra expensive! She looked around and said, "It's the first time I've seen the idea of opening a bridal shop in an office building." ”

Shulei smiled: "This kind of operation is very common now, which can reflect the high-end and noble of private customization more than entering shopping malls or shopping malls." And all the products of this store belong to private customization, you can take the design draft for them to complete the style you want, at the same time, they will also through your ideas, draw a manuscript for you, and then modify the plan according to your requirements, and finally make a ready-to-wear garment for customers to try on, if customers are not satisfied, you can also modify it again until you are satisfied. I think that when I open a wedding company in the future, I will definitely cooperate with such a young designer brand store to create a one-stop personalized service for customers. ”

Shu Tao thought that his sister was about to marry Fu Yuanshan, and he would have his own children in less than seven or eight months, so how could he have time to open a wedding company, it was a fool's dream. She pretended to encourage her sister and said, "I hope your wedding company will open as soon as possible." ”

As they were talking, a young man about thirty years old walked up to them, and when he saw Shulei coming, he said with a smile: "Miss Qu, your eighteen sets of wedding dresses have been prepared for you, your wedding date is too rushed, I regret and apologize for not being able to tailor it for you, but the designed ready-to-wear will still not disappoint you, please come with me." ”

Shulei said to Shutao: "He is the boss and chief designer here, Mao Fei." You can call him George. ”

Shu Tao was not interested in such a little-known third-rate designer, and if she were to get married, the wedding dress would have to come from Vera Wong or Gianni Versace. This is also one of the bad habits she can't break: falling in love with big-name designers is the eternal theme of life.

They followed the designer into a circular dome surrounded by several large mirrors that connect directly from the ceiling to the floor, and the reflection effect of the mirrors makes the whole space endless. Shu Tao felt a little dizzy in such a space, as if she had fallen down the rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland", which was more amazing than staring at Ma Jun's paintings.

This designer, named Mao Fei, asked two assistants to launch their first dress. This dress feels particularly dazzling on the stage, the chest to the abdomen are all decorated with pearls of different sizes, Mao Fei introduced: "These pearls are all Tahitian cultured pearls, not synthetic pearls, its skirt part, embellished with 30,000 Swarovski crystals, and each crystal weight is around one carat, and all of them are native to Austria." ”

Shu Tao listened to his nonsense, and he didn't think that this dress was so great. It's just 30,000 one-carat man-made crystals, not 30,000 South African natural diamonds!

The skirt of the dress was embellished with Swarovski crystals, as if covered by a thin layer of ice crystals, and the skirt dragged up to three meters on the ground.

Shutao said: "Such a big skirt will pull the whole height very short, I personally don't like it too much." ”

Mao Fei frowned, and asked the assistant to launch a second outfit. The second outfit is worn by a plastic mannequin with her hands open so that the hem can be seen in full view. There is no superfluous and cumbersome stitching of the whole outfit, and it is all made in one go by exquisite tailoring. It resembles a hanfu with huge sleeves, but the material is all translucent tulle, and although the whole dress is light and thin, the intricate bead embroidery on it is jaw-dropping.

"I like this!" "Shumo immediately affirmed when he saw it.

Shulei sighed: "It's really amazing, but didn't you find that the whole dress is too transparent? Sister, have you forgotten that I'm pregnant? This dress is too demanding for the figure, I can't accept it!"

Ma Jun sat aside, not at all interested in this, he wondered in his heart that this woman could be so fascinated in order to pick a piece of clothing, he held a pestle on his cheeks, and watched the two sisters express their opinions tirelessly.

They looked at one dress after another, and Mao Fei's introduction became more and more boring the more they listened, which already made Shutao feel tired. Shu Tao drank her champagne and felt very bored as she looked at the lackluster sets of dresses displayed in front of her. Yes, the dresses are beautiful, but after looking at the twelfth dress, the more they look, the more similar they become. It's called aesthetic fatigue? She can buy all the collections while she's dozing off and forget that she once owned them. She wants more than that, although it is her sister who chooses the wedding dress, but she is responsible for her sister and gives her best advice! She is now like Ma Jun, she has suddenly lost interest in clothes, she needs to get out of here, maybe go to LV to buy some everyday clothes, it is more interesting than this.

Shutao said to Shulei: "Why can the wedding dress only be white? It's simply boring! Just to imply the holiness of marriage? What about the white hanging all over the house when holding funerals in China? What does that mean?"

Shulei gave Shu Tao a roll of the eyes and said, "We still have six sets left to finish, and they will all be displayed later, you can help me pick three of them, by the way, you also have to pick your own bridesmaid dress." ”

"You're going to kill me now, okay?"

Mao Fei realized that Shu Tao's face was the same as the expression on the faces of the other top guests—these women had a constant, never-ending desire for everything. They include heiresses, public figures, and even "royal relatives", all of whom have this face. He knew he needed to think in a different direction and change the aura of the room to re-energize this high-spending clientele.

"Ladies, let me show you a masterpiece that I have spent months creating, and which is the treasure of our town. Please follow me!"

After Mao Fei finished speaking, he pushed open one of the decorated walls of the Paucelliro, revealing one of the private rooms hidden. In the center of this private room's pure and spacious space, only one gown is worn on a plastic model.

Mao Fei explains: "This dress is inspired by Gustav Klimt's (1) most famous work of the Golden Age, Portrait of Etel No. 1. Did you know this painting? It was purchased by Ronald Lauder (2) for 135 million dollars and is now hanging at the New Art Gallery in New York (3). ”

When Ma Jun heard him say this, he was suddenly in awe of this dress, and stood up and walked into the room.

Shu Tao and Shu Lei stared in disbelief at this beautiful and skillful off-the-shoulder dress. Its lightweight tulle shimmers from ivory at the waist to gold, and its stream-like elongated skirt is embellished with glittering gold patches, lapis lazuli and hundreds of precious stones, which are thoughtfully scattered into a mosaic pattern like the stars in the sky. It really felt like it had just come out of a Klimt painting.

"Oh my God! that's amazing!" Shumo exclaimed, stroking her slender fingers over the gem-encrusted girdle.

"What a genius work!" Shulei on the side also sighed with admiration.

Mao Fei smiled with a proud expression: "We haven't set a price for it yet. It took three full months for our four full-time embroidery craftsmen here to complete. And it's going to take a few more weeks before it's fully completed. I have to say that this dress has countless rose gold ornaments and precious stones, and the price is at least 8 million yuan after completion. ”

Shu Tao stared at the dress, her heart had never beaten so violently, and before Shulei could speak, she said eagerly, "I want !!"

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, looked at Shu Tao and said, "Don't be kidding, this is your sister's choice of wedding dress, what are you fooling up here?"

Mao Fei smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Qu, I'm really sorry, but this dress has already been booked!"

"It doesn't matter, make me another one, I'm not married anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Shutao smiled.

"I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. Mao Fei said.

Shu Tao looked at him and wondered, "I'm sure you can make another one!"

"Miss Qu, I hope you understand...... I'm honored to make another dress for you with the same inspiration, but I can't replicate this set again. This dress was made to order for one of our important clients, who had already paid a deposit of two million in advance. ”

"I'll pay a deposit of three million!" Shu Tao said angrily.

Shu Lei watched her sister go crazy and was silent, and Ma Jun on the side just shook his head, feeling that Shu Tao seemed to have been tricked by someone at this time.

Ma Jun asked curiously, "Who is that special guest?"

Mao Fei smiled and said: "Her fiancé just took a fancy painting last month, I don't remember her full name, I only remember her surname Zhao." ”

Shu Tao and Shu Lei suddenly quieted down, and they didn't know which girl's surname was Zhao in the rich circle they knew. Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about Zhao Youyou?"

"I'm not sure if that's her full name, let me help you check the client list. He asked his assistant to bring a roster and look through it, "Yes, it's her, Zhao Youyou." Do you know this gentleman?"

Ma Jun was taken aback, is Mao Fei this man joking? He thinks where did Zhao Youyou get so much money to buy such a dress to get married? Could it be that she used ......

Shu Tao turned to Ma Jun and asked, "Who is this woman?"

"Actually, you should know who she is," Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "She is Chen Hao's ex-wife." ”

When Shu Tao heard this, she was incredulous, and she then asked, "How did you know her?"

Ma Jun didn't know how to answer for a while, so he changed the topic and said, "Let's help Shulei look at the wedding dress first, and I'll tell you about this later." ”

Before Shu Tao and Shu Lei walked out of this room, Shu Tao looked back at the dress again, and while Mao Fei was not paying attention, he tore off a piece of metal and pulled it tightly in his hand!

Shu Tao thought that paper could not contain the fire! One day things would come to the surface. Ma Jun must have hidden something from her.

But during this time, they are trying to hide something.

Shu Tao has been hiding her love for Ma Jun is terminally ill, she began to gradually get used to his life, and at first she often thought of him at night, but now, she warned herself to face this relationship in a mature way.

At that moment just now, her love for that dress was almost the same as her love for Ma Jun, how she hoped that the man who was following her at this time would buy this dress for her and enter the marriage hall with her.
