Wen Yan took Lin Wanqing to the most prosperous pedestrian street in the city, where there was a lot of people and the golden glow was shining. first came to a clothing custom store, Wen Yan walked straight in, and Lin Wanqing followed him as if she was deliberately hiding behind him.
Seeing Wen Yan enter, the manager immediately stepped forward to greet him, polite like a gentleman, and said, "Sir, may I ask if there is anything I can do to help you?" ”
"Don't let me peck you! Pack your English butler's suit in front of me. Wen Yan looked around, and said without looking at the manager.
"It's for the sake of eating. What is this wind that is blowing you here? How do you have time to come? The manager immediately laughed.
"What about the Blue Tailor? Why don't you see people? I've asked her to come to the store. Wen Yan looked at the manager and asked.
"It's the designer, the blue designer. As soon as you shouted, our grades fell from the sky to the earth. The manager said happily.
"You love to call you, I only know the Blue Tailor. No more nonsense, I'm leaving. Wen Yan said scoldly.
"Don't, don't, don't, brother! I'll go upstairs and call you, but you can't go. Turn around and let my sister know that I you off and won't eat me. The manager pulled Wen Yan and begged for mercy.
"Stinky boy, you're getting poorer and poorer, so why don't you hurry." Wen Yan said with a smile.
"Who is this beauty?" The manager turned sideways and looked at Wen Yan's back, and Lin Wanqing asked with a smile.
"Is there an end?" Wen Yan urged, and the manager trotted away. Wen Yan led Lin Wanqing to the sofa in the reception area to sit down and rest, he was half-lying on a single sofa, and the waiter brought tea. Lin Wanqing's nervousness contrasted with Wen Yan's relaxation, Wen Yan didn't try to relieve her nervousness, he knew that this was just a process, a process to be experienced, and it could not be changed by words. But that will change soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe today.
At this time, a lady wearing black Lefu low-heeled casual leather shoes, green knee-length straight group, white lace half-sleeved shirt, short hair, melon seed face, medium stature, beautiful and elegant, but also lively and smart, from the heart, overflowing from the inside to the outside with a cheerful smile, quickly came to Wen Yan, and said in a crisp voice: "Distinguished guests are coming, and they are not welcomed." Lin Wanqing stood up and looked at the lady in front of her, who was also very young, thinking that the blue tailor Wen Yan called was an old man.
"It's really a woman's eighteen changes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and our blue tailor is getting more and more beautiful." Wen Yan said with a half-smile half-heartedly.
"Don't make fun of me, I'm about to become a half-aged." The lady said with a smile while holding on to Wen Yan's half-lying sofa.
"That's still the charm. Besides, you are still in your youth. Wen Yan looked at the lady and said.
"I don't even know how to answer your words." The lady smiled sheepishly.
"Brother! Don't praise her, whatever you say, she will take it seriously, and then she can't sleep at night. The manager chimed in.
"Go aside, where are so many tongues." The lady glanced at the manager and said. The manager immediately covered his mouth.
"Won't I be allowed to tell the truth? Do you have to say that others are ugly with a clear conscience? Wen Yan said with a smile.
"You! Let people say what is good. The lady was overjoyed, so she noticed Lin Wanqing and asked Wen Yan, "Who is this?" ”
"Don't all stand still, I don't know how majestic it is. Just sit down casually and let's talk slowly. Wen Yan teasingly waved his hand and beckoned.
"You didn't see the outside, you came first to rebel and the guest, it really seems to be on your turf." The lady sneered and sat down on the single sofa opposite Wen Yan, while the manager sat on the other end of the couch made by Lin Wanqing.
"Lin Wanqing, a colleague who newly joined 'Aishe'." Wen Yan pointed at Lin Wanqing and said, Lin Wanqing smiled at the lady and the manager, and they laughed back. Wen Yan pointed to the lady and introduced to Lin Wanqing: "Lan Lan." In front is Lantian's blue, and in the back is Ji Xiaolan's Lan. I'm used to calling her the Blue Tailor. The owner of the store and the designer of haute couture. ”
"Hello!" Lan Lan smiled politely at Lin Wanqing.
"Hello!" Lin Wanqing also responded.
"And me, me." The manager pointed at himself and said to Wen Yan.
"I almost forgot about you. The kid posing as an English butler was the younger brother of the Blue Tailor, and his name was Blue Bridge. That's right, the Blue Bridge you can think of. Wen Yan introduced to Lin Wanqing.
"Hello!" Lan Qiao got up and came to Lin Wanqing, stretched out his hand and said, wanting to shake hands with Lin Wanqing. Before Lin Wanqing could stretch out her hand, Wen Yan immediately interrupted and said to Lanqiao: "Go back and sit honestly, don't scare others." Blue Bridge immediately sat back with a grin.
"Is there anything important about coming today?" Lan Lan asked Wen Yandao.
"It's nothing, bring her over and make a few outfits." Wen Yan replied casually.
"It's really rare for you to bring a female colleague to make clothes, except for bringing Su Yumo once a long time ago to make two sets of overalls." Lan Lan looked at Lin Wanqing and said with a smile at Wen Yan.
"It's not the same anymore. At the beginning, it was to be diligent and thrifty, so everything must be done personally. Now that the company is under the management of Su Yumo, there is a special department for all kinds of things, and I don't need to ask about it. However, the workwear of the men and women of our 'Aishe' has always been custom-made by you, and I have never been to a second one. Wen Yan said lightly and happily.
"Then why did you come here in person today?" Lan Lan asked.
"She's my personal assistant and I'm in a direct relationship. The entry was in a hurry, and the special things were done, so I simply came by myself. Wen Yan explained clearly.
"I'll take her to measure it first." Lan Lan got up and walked in front of Lin Wanqing and said, Lin Wanqing also stood up, and Wen Yan followed from getting up from the sofa. Lan Lan saw Wen Yan get up, and said with a smile: "What are you worried about, do you still want to follow and see?" ”
"No, I wanted to tell you the request in advance. Too much over budget and I can't afford to pay. Wen Yan joked.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to buy my store and cry poor in front of me." Lan Lannu said with a sneer.
"What do I do when I buy your store, if I want to buy it, I will buy you. I'm not going to do that stupid thing of buying and returning the pearls. Wen Yan teased.
"Oops! Am I that valuable? Lan Lan looked at Wen Yan tenderly and said with a smile.
"Independence is something that can be met but not sought." Wen Yan praised.
"Why don't I believe it?" Lan Lan smiled suspiciously.
"The moon represents my heart." Wen Yan said.
"Give me a glass of water." Blue Bridge said with a choke around his neck.
"What's wrong, are you stuck in your throat?" Lan Lan hurriedly brought a glass of water from the table to Lan Qiao's mouth, Lan Qiao took the water cup, took a sip as if nothing happened, and said with a smile: "Alas, I was sweetened by the sweet words of the two of you just now. ”
"You're scared me to death, I think you're itchy again." Lan Lan patted Lan Qiao on the back and said angrily.
"It's good to have a sister, some people feel distressed." Wen Yan said with a smile.
"How do you know the pain of being a sister." Lan Lan sighed, and Lin Wanqing showed a gentle and envious smile when she saw Lan Lan's sister and brother in the twilight.
"Well, who made me feel no pain." Wen Yan sat down again and said helplessly.
"Brother, you just have fun, you haven't experienced this kind of pain, it really hurts." Lan Qiao said to Wen Yan seriously, making everyone happy.
"Without a conscience, when did I really beat you? You cry out before men. Lan Lan smiled and said to Lan Qiao.
"It's almost noon, are you going to take care of the food?" Wen Yan looked at the time.
"It's not an honor to be able to invite you to a meal." Lan Lan said happily.
"Don't laugh, let's get down to business." Wen Yan was sitting on the sofa and said.
"What do you ask, you say, I remember." Lan Lan also responded seriously.
"Two sets of workwear in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and one set of casual clothes in all seasons." Wen Yan said.
"What's the material?" Lan Lan asked.
"It's better than the materials used by Su Yumo." Wen Yan thought for a while and said.
"Let me remind you that Mr. Su is now using high-end ones, which are worth a lot of money. Of course, he doesn't do so much at once. Lan Lan explained to Wen Yan.
"That's it! I didn't pay much attention to it, but I felt that the clothes on Mr. Su's body were more textured and more restrained, which covered up a lot of her resolute and decisive character. Wen Yan said leisurely.
"What do you want her to use for?" Lan Lan then asked.
"Represent me at the meeting, at the event." Wen Yan said.
"And what do you do in casual clothes?" Lan Lan was puzzled.
"It's a special treat. She is the spokesperson for 'Aishe' and me, and I need her to maintain a certain image, not only at work, but also after work. Wen Yan explained in detail.
"I suggest that it is good to choose high-end fabrics, which are in line with her own temperament, and she can also control them, without being light and gentle. does not feel disobedient, and reveals youth. It won't make Su Yumo feel that you are deliberately comparing people to her. Lan Lan thought and said to Wen Yan.
"Whoever knows me, so does the blue tailor. Just as you want, just as you say. Wen Yan clapped his hands and said quickly.
"You're a big deal!" Lan Lan looked at Wen Yan and said with a meaningful smile.
"It's all about the company's image. How much is the deposit, you quote the number, and I will transfer it to you. Wen Yan pretended to be helpless.
"Are you going to pay out of pocket?" Lan Lan said strangely.
"I'll pay in advance and then go back to the company for reimbursement." Wen Yan said with a smile.
"You are sure of the reimbursement, Su Yumo's clothes are all made at his own expense, saying that your company's finance does not report high-end or above customized clothes." Lan Lan approached Wen Yan and whispered.
"How much can you report, you can't really report it, right?" Wen Yan smiled.
"I was crying poor before, so it's a lot of money." Lan Lan said with a complaining smile.
"You don't know my bottom line, I'm really poor! My monthly salary is less than one-tenth of Su Yumo's, and you are afraid that a small list will be higher than my monthly salary. Can I not cry in front of you? Wen Yan pretended to be pitiful.
"Who are you fooling, Brother Wen! You have such a big company in your hand, and the money is not flowing into the account. Blue Bridge didn't believe it.
"You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, the company is small and large-scale, but people eat horses and feed, left and right, which is as simple as you think, I will wait for the money to flow into my pocket, you are a money printing machine when I am the company. This is what you think of a gentleman, thinking that money is so easy to make, and you ask your sister how embarrassed we were when we first started. Looking back now, it's a bittersweet memory, but at that time, I almost didn't worry about three thousand feet of gray hair. Wen Yan said eloquently.
"What's the plot? Speak up and listen to it. Lan Qiao was curious about how Wen Yan met his sister and how he got to where he is today, and his sister never mentioned those experiences.
"Don't ask." Lan Lan blamed Lan Qiaodao, turned around and smiled at Wen Yan again.
"I still have a lot of mortgages to pay." Wen Yan said unabashedly.
"That's the truth, you're honest. You also don't want to think about how many houses you've bought. Lan Lan glanced at Wen Yan and said with a smile.
"Are you the legendary Brother Fang who has dozens of suites?" Lan Qiao leaned over to Wen Yan's sofa and bent down beside him, making a gesture of admiration and said.
"you, I'm still the uncle. You see those who have a lot of property, and who is like me who is in debt. Wen Yan said happily, as if he was laughing at himself.
"So what are you buying those houses for? Isn't it a burden? It's not like your style. Blue Bridge said confusedly.
"He, unlike others who buy some commercial real estate for investment, is not a treasure land waiting for demolition, he buys green bricks and green tiles that cannot be moved in various places, and there are old old houses with white walls, which are easy to buy when they are bought, but difficult to sell when they are sold. I don't know if he was impulsive or what he thought. Lan Lan smiled and said to Lin Wanqing and Lan Qiao.
"I didn't intend to sell it when I bought it, so I kept it for myself." Wen Yan argued.
"Can you stay here? Are you home? Lan Lan asked rhetorically.
"You're really right, this is called the four seas home. Wherever you are happy, you can live for a period of time and be at ease. Wen Yan said stubbornly.
"We don't understand the world of local tyrants, and the word "moat" composed of extravagant and extravagant next to the word "soil" describes you as worthy of the name, and there is no such image and appropriate words." Lan Lan quipped.
"'People laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.'" Wen Yan leaned back and said strangely.
Lin Wanqing secretly looked at Wen Yan and smiled slightly.
"Let's go, let's go measure the size, disobedient here crazy talk." Lan Lan pulled Lin Wanqing away.
Lanqiao diligently brought the tea and sent it to Wen Yan, showing an intimate smile.
"Nothing to be courteous, something to say. Sit well, don't be so obscene with me. Wen Yan pointed to the sofa, and Lan Qiao sat down obediently.
"How did you run back? Is school closed? Wen Yan asked.
"I'm almost graduating, and it's my internship. Anyway, I decided to return to China, so I might as well intern with my sister and learn some experience from her. Blue Bridge explained.
"Oh, that's it! Good thing, good to come back. Wen Yan nodded.
"While my sister is away, Brother Wen, tell me the story of you and my sister before." Lan Qiao looked around and smiled at Wen Yan in a low voice.
"What's wrong with me and your sister? If you ask such a sneaky question, those who don't know think we have something unsavvy. Wen Yan said strangely.
"I didn't mean that. My sister has never talked about the past, and I haven't been here since I was a child, and I haven't dared to ask until now. Blue Bridge argued.
"There's nothing to hide from you, maybe your sister doesn't want you to know how much she suffered." Wen Yan said lightly.
"The more you talk, the more curious I become. Tell me about it. Blue Bridge begged.
"That's a long story." Wen Yan took a deep breath and said.
"It's okay, you take your time. If the tea is not enough, I will make it for you. Blue Bridge said attentively.
"Boy, do you really want to hear it?" Wen Yan asked with a smile.
"Don't sell it, Brother Wen! My sister should be back in a moment. Blue Bridge said anxiously.
"I want to know the past, and listen to the next breakdown." Wen Yan smiled and said in his throat. Blue Bridge lay helplessly on the sofa and sighed.
