Chapter 393: Spend Your Mind Picking Gifts

It's not a big deal to see the excitement, and she knows how many people in this design department are dissatisfied with her, and feel that she, as a sudden airborne soldier, has become the director of the design department that many people dream of.

But she didn't care about these cynicisms and cold eyes. I always feel that as long as she is strict with herself, lenient with others, and does what she wants to do, she will have a clear conscience.

The assistant went to pour coffee for An Wen, and when he came back, he saw that the water in front of An Wen's office was impassable, so he quickly squeezed in, and saw that the office was in a mess.

"Superintendent? Are you alright? You people, what to see, what to see! It's all gone! The assistant said to the crowd of onlookers.

"What's going on? What's the matter, I just went out and poured some coffee, and when I came back, how did it become like this? The assistant asked with concern while helping her pick up things.

This little assistant is not bad, although he is usually confused, but his heart is not bad. An Wen sometimes looks at her like she is looking at her own sister.

"It's okay, don't worry, No, you can send this document to the general manager and let him see it." Sign your name if it's okay. She handed her assistant a file.

The assistant nodded "oh" and took the document she gave and went out.

After tidying up her things steadily, she continued to sit in front of the computer and work as if nothing had happened just now, and the people outside saw her like this, and they all turned their heads and ears.

"Eh, you see, the new director has a big heart, and when this kind of thing happens, people act like a nobody."

"That's, you don't want to think about it, but she is the wife of the president of MJ, can she be an ordinary person?"

……

There are always so many gossips, and An Wen has long been used to it. She didn't want to argue with them about anything, it wasn't interesting.

She didn't plan to tell Lu Chen about this matter, with Lu Chen's temper, if she knew about this matter, she was afraid that she would come to Liu Hao to ask him to give an attitude.

Su Mingmei plucked up the courage to call Fu Xiuran's aunt, and unexpectedly Fu Xiuran's aunt's attitude towards her was not bad, and she was even very gentle.

This gave Su Mingmei courage, didn't they all say that if he got his family, he would have a better chance~

"Hey, Anwen, how much do you know about his aunt's hobbies? I want to prepare a gift for her, you can give me an idea. She called to say goodbye.

"Yo! Now they have changed their words and are directly called Xiuran? It seems that you can make this progress~" An said jokingly.

"you, get me ideas." She exclaimed.

"You, Xiu Ran's aunt is a jewelry designer, she has a very good taste, don't give her jewelry when you meet, she has been staying abroad, you'd better give her some tea or porcelain and other Chinese flavored things, oh, by the way, I seem to have heard Xiu Ran say that she has a soft spot for cheongsam." An Steady told her everything he knew.

"Okay, I got it." Su Mingmei had a score in her heart.

In the end, she decided to send a cheongsam!

When she was in Suzhou before, Su Mingmei worked as a model for a cheongsam master. The cheongsam made by that master is usually a gift given to the wives of foreign leaders as a gift when national leaders meet. He liked Su Mingmei very much, and Su Mingmei decided to ask him to make a set of cheongsams and give them to Fu Xiuran's aunt.

She asked An Wen for a photo of Fu Xiuran's aunt, and then took a train to Suzhou overnight and handed the photo to the master.

"Master, I want to order a cheongsam, this is what I want to give away, you look at her photo, feel it, just do it according to your ideas." She arrived at the master's cheongsam shop, and the master was about to close.

"Girl, it's been a long time since you've come to see me, a bad old man." When the master saw that it was Su Mingmei, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hee-hee, didn't I come to see your old man." Su Mingmei looked at him with a smile and said.

"Tell me, who is this lady to you? At first glance, he has an outstanding temperament, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person, right? The old master took the photo handed over by Su Mingmei, glanced at it and asked.

"Grandpa Zhang, I really can't hide anything from your old man's eyes. Let me tell you the truth, I fell in love with a boy, this is his aunt, and I'm trying to find a way to chase him now, so ......" Su Mingmei told him about her pursuit of Fu Xiuran.

"So you want to capture the hearts of his family first and then attack him?" The old master saw Su Mingmei's thoughts at a glance.

Su Mingmei stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Then grandpa, can you help me~"

"Su Yatou has spoken, can I, who is a grandfather, not agree!?" The old master smiled and took the photo handed to him by Su Mingmei and said.

"Let's go, girl, let's go back to dinner, your grandma Zhang has been talking about you recently and said that she thinks you've lost weight when I see you on TV." The old master pulled her.

"Then grandpa, cheongsam......" Su Mingmei looked at him.

"You girl, you are just anxious, since the cheongsam grandpa promised to do it for you, you can rest assured, it's done, grandpa will mail it to you." The master said.

"Okay~ Thank you grandpa, let's go, let's eat." She happily held the master's hand and walked on the bluestone road in Suzhou, and the warm yellow street lamps reflected their shadows, so warm.

The next day, Su Mingmei still had a job, so she took the train and came back, and the master looked at the photos Su Mingmei left for him, thinking carefully, what style of cheongsam should be made for this lady?

Although Fu Xiuran's aunt has been staying abroad, she has always had a very indifferent and calm temperament, and her appearance is the temperament of a classical Chinese beauty, although she is nearly fifty years old, but because of proper maintenance, coupled with her love for health and yoga, she looks thirty outstanding, no worse than the skin of a twenty-year-old girl now.

The master has made countless cheongsams, and he rarely makes cheongsams according to the requirements of guests, and the people who order cheongsams for him are either official or expensive.

Usually he knows what style to design for her, what fabrics and patterns to choose for her, just by looking at people.

The cheongsam he made, worn on the body, highlights his personal temperament to the fullest, not to mention, the most important thing is that all the shortcomings of the body are cleverly hidden, and the advantages are even more prominent, which is also the most important reason why he can become the country's royal cheongsam master.

In Suzhou, there is a saying that everyone says that Master Zhang's craftsmanship is already a national intangible cultural heritage.

Indeed, he has an ingenious craftsmanship that cannot be simulated by modern mechanical equipment, and there are some things that machines can never surpass the beauty of handiwork. But Master Zhang has no children under his knees, and he has no one to teach his craft.

There are countless people who come to learn from him, and everyone wants to learn Master Zhang's cheongsam making skills. But Master Zhang turned down everyone who came to ask for a craft.

The reason is simple. Master Zhang's craftsmanship comes from his master, who was a very famous cheongsam master in China in the last century, and he opened the cheongsam shop now run by Master Zhang.

Master Zhang's master made cheongsam just because of his hobby at first, and then slowly studied the way, he began to make his own cheongsam, but he did not sell it to all people, he made cheongsam to see the person, he once told Master Zhang that "our Chinese cheongsam is not worse than the Japanese kimono, you don't look at the Japanese kimono now looks complicated, gorgeous and exquisite." A good cheongsam is more than a kimono, and every cheongsam you make in your hand has a soul, and you have to give it to someone with a soul, not to whoever has money you sell it to. You have to remember that we are craftsmen, not businessmen, and craftsmen must have the inheritance of craftsmen, and craftsmen must have the ethics of craftsmen. ”

Master Zhang is 70 years old this year, but he always remembers what he told him. Now he is also making cheongsam, as long as in his opinion, it does not meet the temperament required by the cheongsam, he will never do it for her, and no matter how much money he gives, he can't do it.

Let's talk about Fu Xiuran's aunt. Fu Xiuran's aunt is in the eyes of Master Zhang, she has the temperament that meets the needs of wearing a cheongsam, and he is also willing to design a unique cheongsam for her.

Looking at all the cheongsam fabrics hanging on the wall, Master Zhang shook his head and felt that it was not good. He pondered for a moment, then went into the back room and opened a wooden box.

Out of it came a piece of silk. This silk was left to him by his master, and he used part of it for Grandma Zhang, that is, his wife, and when he married him, he made a cheongsam for her.

Now, in his opinion, the temperament of the woman in the photo that Su Mingmei gave him couldn't be better.

He carefully took out the silk that he treasured. This good material, worn on the right person, will naturally play a better effect. So Master Zhang is not stingy.

The blue satin was placed on the cheongsam platform by Master Zhang, and he turned on his work lamp, and under the illumination of the light, the blue silk came alive as if it had life, sparkling, as if it was moving.

Master Zhang started his artistic creation on his workbench, first drawing a simple outline drawing, and then adding his own design to it little by little.

He chose white camellia as the base color to complement the other designs.

After drawing the drawings, Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction and began to do the next step, cutting the fabric and preparing to sew.

All the design patterns were sewn by him, and even the edging was sewn by him.

To make this cheongsam, it took him a week from opening the shop in the morning to closing at night.

The finished cheongsam is worn on the mold body, the blue silk, the camellia blooming around the waist and a few budding flower bones at the ankle make this cheongsam look fairy and gentle.
