54. Friends of Women
A hint of disappointment flashed in Fang Hui's eyes, and he hurriedly responded: "Then you're annoying your family and husband?" ”
Lin Shuang shook her head: "I'm worried about a piece of clothing." ”
Fang Hui laughed when he heard this, as if Lin Shuang was not the kind of woman who would be entangled in a piece of clothing in his eyes: "Is it that every woman will always have one less piece of clothing in her closet?" ”
Lin Shuang shook his head again: "On the contrary, I have an extra piece of clothing." ”
"Tell me about it. I'm also a friend of women to us. Fang Hui smiled and looked at the girls in the coffee bar, and received a unanimous nod of affirmation from the girls.
"To be exact, I need a dress that can go to the dinner party."
Fang Hui smiled without saying a word, got up and closed his clothes: "Then you have found the right person again, I will help you get it." ”
Lin Shuang was stunned, and then saw that the girl in the bar kept signaling to her to believe it. She smiled and got up, thinking to herself that this 'Friend of Women' has such a wide range of knowledge?!
"How much budget do you have?"
"Less than 20,000 yuan."
“OK。 If you are satisfied, you will not be charged a service fee. ”
"Is that okay...... The cheaper, the better? ”
"Of course."
......
Fang Hui took her out of the art store, walked through two more red lights, and finally stopped at the door of a small hardware store.
Lin Shuang looked up at the signboard of the hardware store, and thought to herself, what kind of joke is this, the hardware store will sell evening dresses?
"Trust me." Fang Hui could see that she was hesitating, and without saying anything, he pulled her wrist to take it inside.
Lin Shuang looked at his elegant and warm smile, but his expression became serious: "If you sell me, you must first let me count how much I sold for myself." ”
Fang Hui smiled and shook his head: "If you want to sell it, you have to fatten it up and sell it again, let's go." ”
After entering, Fang Hui said hello to the guy at the hardware store and asked, "Where is the crazy old man?" Seeing that the guy pointed inside, Fang Hui led Lin Shuang through a small door and walked in.
It turns out that there is a hole in the back of this hardware store, a space of more than 30 square meters, full of various dresses. And an old man with curly hair and a hunched back was busy on the sewing machine in the middle.
"Hey, crazy old man." Fang called back.
The old man turned around, pushed his glasses to confirm who was coming, and then got up with a smile and hugged Fang Hui. When the crazy old man saw Lin Shuang, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you kid want to be so romantic, why did you change women again?" ”
I can't see it! Lin Shuang didn't think it was a joke, and the earth kept looking at Fang Hui with cold eyes.
"What did you say?" Fang Hui looked embarrassed, looking like he couldn't speak.
"And quibble! I had a girlfriend at a young age, and I got it when I grew up. The crazy old man waved his hand at him and said, "What kind of girlfriend do you have an 18-year-old boy." Read well. ”
Fang Hui sighed, signaled to Lin Shuang that the old man's nerves were not normal, and then followed him and said, "Okay, okay, listen to you." However, this is really my friend, who has come to you for help. As he spoke, he leaned close to his ear and told him the details.
Lin Shuang saw that they kept comparing their fingers, as if they were bargaining. But her heart suddenly had no bottom.
Look at the clothes in this room, and then look at the crazy old man's somewhat terrifying appearance, is this reliable?
"Deal. Start now, urgently. Pay before you're done! ”
Fang Hui made a final decision, and the crazy old man immediately walked in front of Lin Shuang and asked her to take off her coat and turn left and right, but she shook her head and sighed.
Lin Shuang kept looking at Fang Hui, but Fang Hui signaled that she would be safe when she came, and then patted her chest.
To be honest, Lin Shuang's heart was beating a drum, but now he could only resign himself to fate.
"High difficulty! No breasts and no ass, how to make this dress! The mad old man looked at it, scratched his head, and complained.
......, "Hey, does the old man have long eyes?" She Lin Shuang is indeed not a model figure, and she is indeed not as turbulent as Ding Ding. But she's also slim and well-proportioned, with a front and a back, okay!
Lin Shuang's eyes widened, and then he looked back. I don't want that thing to be covering my mouth and laughing, watching the excitement. Seeing that her volcano was about to erupt, Fang Hui put his hands together and asked her to bear with her, and then continued to snicker.
The crazy old man finally had an idea, yelled "start work" and began to dig around in his mountains and seas of clothes.
Lin Shuang was terrified when she looked at the ground from the side, and then she became a model prosthesis, and was compared by the old man, and all kinds of attempts were scared to death.
Fang Hui watched from the side, constantly comparing "NO", and collapsed to the fullest.
"Crazy old man, how did you become famous before? It's all luck, right? Fang Hui began to use the radical method.
This trick really worked for the crazy old man, and he immediately flew up the long ladder with his hands and feet, and rummaged through the top wall cabinet to find a box. Take out an aqua blue evening dress from it and shake it.
Although the style of this evening dress is very old, the fabric is still a treasure in the high-end.
The crazy old man compared the material to Lin Shuang, and then said, "That's it", spread the dress on the cutting table, picked up the scissors and began to think deeply. Fang Hui didn't say anything again this time, and secretly said "OK" to Lin Shuang.
"Frost, what kind of dinner are you attending?" Fang Hui naturally called out her name and asked.
Lin Shuang was stunned unprepared, and then replied: "Siyuan Group's charity dinner." Just tomorrow night. ”
"Old man, do you hear me, people will wear it tomorrow night." Fang Hui shouted at the crazy old man, "Don't mess around with the style, you must be dignified, you must be ......"
"If you are less wordy, you will play tricks, and you have the ability to cut the scissors. You can all get out of here, don't interfere with me. Write down the address, and I'll have someone send it to you. Plus 20 yuan for delivery. ”
Coming out of it, Lin Shuang still didn't come back to his senses, and looked at Fang Hui with little confidence: "He won't make me look weird, right?" ”
Fang Hui nodded very seriously: "Very likely." You see, he's crazy. ”
"It's over, he doesn't even measure my measurements, what should I do?" Lin Shuang's whole face collapsed with worry, thinking that Ji Luohan would not kill her.
"Tease you." In the next second, Fang Hui laughed heartily, "You just believe me, if something goes wrong, I will be responsible for you." ”
Big brother, you have to be really responsible! Lin Shuang shook her head and walked with laughter and tears, but she didn't know what to say about it. People are enthusiastic, but they are afraid that he will do bad things with good intentions.
"Let's go. You'll have to pick a good pair of shoes. Fang Hui chased after her and patted her on the shoulder, then stopped at the door of a shoe store, looked at it for a long time and pointed to the shelf, "That pair is good." Go inside and have a look. ”
......
The two came out of the shoe store and walked side by side on the street.
"How did you end up at that dinner?" Fang Hui asked intentionally and unintentionally.
Lin Shuang looked at him strangely, what's wrong with this?
Fang Hui explained: "As far as I know, the charity dinner of Siyuan Group must be attended by related people. Either you are a rich gentry and a celebrity, or you are highly respected. Because...... The invitees are going to donate this. As he spoke, he gestured to a bill.
"Didn't I tell you that I was a foreign princess?"
"Exotic princess?"
Lin Shuang couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Fang Hui actually showed some belief, and suddenly realized that the number of jokes she had made today seemed to be too much.
"I was just invited to accompany someone." She relieved his doubts, "Because it's an important customer, I can't refuse." And I'm also a little selfish. ”
"Aren't you a designer?" Fang Hui was blunt.
Lin Shuang smiled when she heard this, but she smiled bitterly: "Yes." Doing the work of a designer, having the heart of selling white powder, suffering the sin of breaking boulders in his chest, and earning money that makes people vomit blood. Anyway, earning his Ji Luohan's money, it is simply better to live than to die. ”
"Ji Luohan?" Fang Hui was a little surprised, "Are you talking about the president of Siyuan Group, Ji Luohan?" ”
Lin Shuang nodded. "You know?"
Fang Hui was silent for a while, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, confident but not conceited: "To do our business, in addition to having artistic accomplishment and discernment, we must also be familiar with every big and small person in this upper circle. And this circle has its ever-changing places, and there are also its eternal places. So, we have to remember every potential customer. ”
Hearing him say this, Lin Shuang became interested, because he was really attractive.
"I often say to people in our business, we are connoisseurs, appraisers, but also sellers. The upper reaches will always be our main customer base. Recommend treasures and potential artworks to them, meet their spiritual needs, and also satisfy the purse of the art industry. ”
"Then can you give me some advice as well, such as how to get along with these so-called upper-class people?"
"At this moment, all I can say is, you've hit the jackpot. Ji Luohan is a person, I admit that he is really difficult. So, with the utmost patience and perseverance, you can definitely get it done. ”
Lin Shuang rolled her eyes, and said that she didn't say anything.
Seeing her like this, Fang Hui smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "I know one of Ji Luohan's weaknesses, you can try it." ”
"What?"
"He is most afraid of women crying. Although all men in the world are afraid of this, this is really the only weakness I have seen with my own eyes. Isn't crying your woman's specialty? Many times, it can be used as a weapon. ”
Heh, Lin Shuang thought to herself that this was really the worst weakness she had ever heard. She chuckled dryly, "That's a real cup." With a sigh, he continued on his way.
……
At noon the next day, the dress was delivered to the studio. Lin Shuang was busy drawing, and before he could open the box and take it out to try it on, Ding Ding made the first move and became more interested in the cards on the gift box.
She sat on the edge of Lin Shuang's desk, snatched the card and said in a weird voice: "May you enjoy a beautiful night." Your friend, Fang Hui. ”
"If you don't ask, you're a thief." Lin Shuang didn't stop the movement in his hand, "If you don't want to chop your hand, hurry up and put it back." ”
Ding Ding didn't eat this, squinted his eyes and approached her, and his face was full of gossip: "This Fang Hui is the black knight who helped you a lot yesterday?" ”
"People have really helped a lot." Lin Shuang thought she was asking so strangely, "He helped him get the clothes and shoes." ”
"You believe him so much? Isn't this kind of work supposed to be done by me? ”
"Judging from the taste of his work, it is quite believable." After Lin Shuang finished speaking, she raised her head and glared at her, "When I needed you, where were you?" I haven't settled accounts with you yet. ”
"It's snowing in May." Ding Ding was not happy, and slapped his palm on the table again, "You dead woman, do you still have a conscience!" How can you say that about me. ”
Lin Shuang pouted: "It used to be, but now it's completely lost in money." ”
"Where do I have?" Ding Ding didn't admit it, "I'm risking the world's greatness, risking being misunderstood by you and being hacked to death by you, to prevent you from doing willful actions, and to avoid you regretting it in the future, okay?" I'm so ...... So ......" she was short of words for a while.
"Bear the burden of humiliation." Lin Shuang helped her teleprompt and shook her head.
"Yes, bear the burden. Why don't you get it? ”
Lin Shuang really couldn't stand it: "Okay, okay, I know." You should continue to gossip about me, just don't snot and tears. ”
"Roger." Ding Ding immediately changed the channel, "This party is back...... Are you single? Do you have a car, do you have a house? ”
"How do I know? I'm not going on a blind date. Lin Shuang rolled her eyes regretfully, "I'm really sick." You should continue to play Qin Xianglian. ”
Ding Ding jumped off the desk in a fit of joy: "It's late." I see, this person named Fang Hui must have a plot against you. Come and talk to my sister, did your third spring start with him? ”
"I don't know if he's single or not. But I've made it clear to him that I'm married. So? ”
"Dead woman, are you all right?" Ding Ding listened to the fire, "What kind of marriage are you and Miao Xin?" Isn't it over with a stamp? ”
"Say no more. Help me ask your beautician, what time do I go over to put on makeup? ”
"You, you, die." Ding Ding glared at her, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat, "People said, let you go in two hours, she has time." ”
Lin Shuang nodded and glanced at Ding Ding: "Why don't you go out yet?" ”
Ding Ding let out a long sigh and snuggled up to the edge of her table with one hand: "People are lonely, empty, and cold." You can go to such a fancy dinner, but I can't. It's not fair at all. ”
"Then you go, I can't ask for it."
"My male god is letting you go, not me! There are times when male gods are blind, and I can make a big scene than you, okay. The more Tintin spoke, the more sour it became, and he confessed his envy and jealousy.
Lin Shuang laughed when she heard this: "I'm going to socialize, you and I really want to be hilarious." ”
"That's right. Don't forget to send out more business cards when you go. If we do a few more rich people's businesses, we will be able to thrive from then on. When Tintin talked about this, he came back to his senses.
Lin Shuang nodded perfunctorily, she didn't have such a plan in her heart. Such inappropriate behavior, she didn't even do it.
"Besides, you have to promise me one thing."
"What?"
Tintin prostrate in front of her, blinking his eyes very attentively.
"Speak."
"You promise me first."
"If you don't say it, forget it."
"Since you're not interested in other people, introduce me to this person." Tintin said, reaching over and pulling her cuffs to sprinkle coquettishly.
"Who introduced you to?"
"Fang Hui."
---------------------
As night falls, the heart of the city also hosts a charity event.
Celebrities from all walks of life have gathered at the 8-star hotel under Siyuan Group to participate in the event. And upper-class celebrities, rich wives, and beauties in the art world are even more proud to receive invitations on the red carpet.
In the media area, reporters are talking about the Siyuan real estate scandal that broke out only a few days ago. Although Siyuan Group has handled it in a timely and proper manner, the stock market still fell sharply on the same day. Unexpectedly, Ji Luohan did not avoid the limelight, but held this charity dinner as scheduled, which is really kind.
The reporters were gearing up, vowing to ask him speechless.
As a result, the flashing lights in the hands of the media kept flashing, grabbing the best position, and they were all looking forward to the unique protagonist - President of Siyuan Group, Ji Luohan. Of course, there is also Ji Luohan's mysterious wife who has never been exposed to the outside world. There was speculation about whether she would suddenly appear at this dinner.
No, he didn't wait for Ji Luohan, but only waited for his assistant to make a brief speech, saying that Mr. Ji would hold a media reception after the dinner. Hearing this, the media was a little disappointed. But I thought that there would still be a media meeting later, so I was a little more relaxed.
Peter left the red carpet and went straight inside the hotel. He went all the way to the VIP lounge of the banquet hall and reported to Ji Luohan, who was standing by the window, "Boss, Uncle Qin said that Miss Lin is already on the way. ”
The figure by the window reached out and tightened the cufflinks, and the whole person was calm and thoughtful.
......
The car slowly stopped in front of the red carpet, and Uncle Qin turned his head kindly and said, "Miss Lin, it's here." Wait a while, you'll cross the red carpet and enter the hotel lobby to meet Assistant Peter. ”
The man in the back seat sighed softly and looked out the window at the crowded battle, but he didn't move.
Uncle Qin smiled: "Miss Lin is very beautiful today. ”
"Thank you."
The next second, Uncle Tai got out of the car and went around the front of the car to open the door for her.
Lin Shuang got out of the car sideways and stepped on the red carpet generously, which amazed the attention of all the media for a while.
Her hair is naturally draped, slightly permed and curly, casual and elegant. The makeup on the face is very clean, it seems to be intentional and unintentional, and there is no trace of beauty.
She wore an aqua blue bandeau dress tonight, with a perfectly comfortable cut, above the bandeau to fully show off her perfect shoulder line, and her collarbone looked even sexier. The back waist was schemingly added with a layer of tulle of the same color, which swayed naturally with her moving pace, obviously a neutral handsome style, but added a lot of charm and moving.
In this way, Lin Shuang suddenly jumped out of the crowd of female guests, looking extremely different.
To be honest, when Lin Shuang opened the box at the beautician, she was also amazed. She loved the dress from the bottom of her heart, and it completely conquered her heart, and her confident steps at this moment came from this.
No one knew which daughter she was or an executive of which institution, and they whispered to each other for advice.
Before the media could calm down, she had already disappeared at the door of the hotel with a smile on her face and walked inside.
When she finally got inside, she let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest thinking that she was lucky not to wrestle. She immediately looked down at the high heels on her feet, thinking that she was still quite entangled when she bought it. As Fang Hui said, although the heel of these shoes is very thin, it is comfortable to walk on, and at the same time it is balanced and stable.
Unexpectedly, this 'Friend of Women' was not in vain. Thinking of this, Lin Shuang couldn't help but smile.
Lin Shuang walked a few more steps, stood under the bright giant crystal lamp in the hotel lobby, and finally found Peter, of course...... Ji Luohan, and he had already looked over to him.
Lin Shuang's hand holding the handbag couldn't help but tighten, reached out and stroked the hair around her ears, then straightened her waist and walked towards them calmly.
In sight, Ji Luohan was dressed in a black tuxedo, a shirt as white as snow, a dark red bow tie, and dazzling leather shoes. It's obviously a traditional outfit, but it's meticulous and meticulous from head to toe.
He always seemed to hold his head high, his eyes always full of superiority and confidence, as if he knew everything and was under his control.
It wasn't until he stood in front of his proud eyes and faced his jade-like face that Lin Shuang unexpectedly gained a very brief moment of distraction.
Peter, who was on the side, secretly gave her a thumbs up and praised her for her beauty.
Lin Shuang's face had two more touches of crimson, and when he looked at Ji Luohan again, he had already recovered and looked at himself expressionlessly.
It can't be because she's not wearing a skirt, but a pair of pants, right? This person's mind shouldn't be so feudal, right?
She cleared her throat, and her tone was much softer than usual: "Mr. Ji." ”
Ji Luohan smiled lightly and didn't say a word, just bent his arms gentlemanly. Lin Shuang was stunned at that time, although she had never participated in this kind of banquet, but what did he mean by bringing herself in? This is misleading......
Lin Shuang looked at Luo Han's slightly domineering eyes in the previous season, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he reached over and grabbed it. Feeling his breath up close again, Lin Shuang's heart beat faster without arguing.
The door to the banquet hall is opened by the waiter, and the melodious string music floats from the inside to the ears.
Lin Shuang tried not to make a fuss, but the lights in this banquet hall were very brilliant, and the magnificence was really embarrassing. The waiters carrying the drinks shuttled among the guests, and even the air was filled with the rich aroma of fine wine.
The guests were all dressed in grand clothes, dazzling jewelry, and chatted happily in groups, and the atmosphere was very lively. It turned out that this was a dinner party for the upper class, and the word "luxury" immediately appeared in Lin Shuang's mind.
Seeing Ji Luohan come in, the guests turned their eyes over, and the strings paused at the right time.
Ji Luohan had a businesslike smile on his face and nodded generously. Then go straight to the individual guest before shaking hands and talking.
Lin Shuang watched from the side, thinking to himself that these people were the same as his Ji Luohan status, right? It turns out that in their circle, there is also differential treatment. It's not that just because you walk through this door qualifies you for his personal courtesy.
So, according to this theory, what is she, a little designer? can stand by his side, accepting so many doubtful and envious eyes. It's kind of weird.
Lin Shuang knew that they must all be guessing where her face came from. The young girls, in particular, were looking at each other strangely and searching for them on their phones.
It seems that she has attracted more attention than Ji Luohan at the moment, and she is mostly hostile, and she understands what everyone means in an instant.
As Ji Luohan's personal greeting became farther and farther away, Lin Shuang's pace slowed down.
"Keep up." Peter came over and whispered a reminder.
It's really haunting. Lin Shuang cursed with a smile on her face, and whispered back: "People are greeting, I don't know each other, what are you going to do!" ”
