Chapter 16: Bringing a Boyfriend
"Lemon, Lu Chengjing has seen your design and has agreed to give you a chance to bid, and the bidding time will be three days later."
After Wen Ning received Qiao Mixia's call, she immediately rushed to the garment factory and discussed with Li Xinhou about the board.
"Lu's Group wants to make a co-branded product, with Lu's blessing, there is no need to worry about sales and promotion. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Manrou. ”
Li Xinhou couldn't hide his excitement: "Really? That's great. Little Miss, you are awesome, I knew you were back, and the company would definitely get back on track. ”
Wen Ning took out her own design draft, "Three days after the bidding meeting, we have to make a set of physical samples first." ”
Li Xinhou asked: "For the sake of confidentiality and the continued use of follow-up design, the general bidding will be a quotation, do we want to directly push out the sample?" ”
Wen Ning said: "Our conditions are not as good as other large companies, and we can't beat others in a price war, so we can only use design and quality to convince Lu's." ”
Li Xinhou nodded in agreement, glanced at the design again, and frowned, "Little Miss, these are wool and silk, and the cost is very high." If we really take the order, Lu will pay a deposit of 30% at most, which is not enough for us to purchase fabrics. In addition to raw materials, machines, and manpower all have to be updated and increased, which ......"
Li Xinhou did not conceal it, "The company is now purely receiving orders that others can't do, helping people process meager profits, the capital chain is already very tight, and it can operate all rely on the trust of several old suppliers to barely maintain operations, and now there is no money on the books." ”
Wen Ning said: "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will find a way to deal with the funds." You start by having someone make a sample. ”
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Xie's family.
Xie Wanwan was dressed in a grand evening dress, with a pearlescent diamond necklace around her neck and thumb-sized pearl earrings on her ears, as if she wanted to wear all the jewels in the family on herself.
"Dad, you promised me, today you will make a clear statement with the Gu family and let me marry into the Gu family." Xie Wanwan said coquettishly.
Xie Beiping agreed, "Don't worry, good daughter, this matter will be done today." ”
"Then what if Wen Ning repents and doesn't go to the Gu family today?" Xie Wanwan said worriedly.
Xie Beiping's eyes lit up, "She didn't dare not go." Even if she doesn't go, the Gu family won't want her. The Gu family has developed rapidly over the years, Gu Bei resigned from going abroad for further study and came back, and after several surgeries, he became famous all over the world, and the Gu family must find a daughter-in-law who is the right person. ”
With this guarantee, Xie Wanwan felt like she had taken a reassuring pill, and she couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of marrying Gu Beici in her mind.
"What about her? Go get her down. Xie Beiping looked at the time and asked impatiently.
At this time, Wen Ning's figure came down the stairs. She was wearing a pink and white sleeveless cheongsam, her hair was casually coiled behind her head, and she only wore a little lip gloss, and her whole body was very plain.
Xie Wanwan sneered disdainfully, "People hold engagement banquets for the Gu family, and you dress like a funeral." ”
Xie Beiping didn't like it either, but he didn't want to delay any longer, so he ordered someone to get in the car.
Wen Ning and Xie Wanwan sat side by side in the back seat, and Wen Ning looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.
Xie Wanwan hated her quiet appearance the most, and her teeth itched when she looked at it, but thinking that tonight's business was not suitable for conflict with Wen Ning, so she had to endure it.
She turned on her phone and found her friend's WeChat, [Haven't you found it for so long?] What exactly is the drug? 】
The other party replied: [I have already sent your medicine to a doctor friend of mine for analysis, and I will reply to you immediately if there is news. 】
……
Gujia Mansion.
Today is the engagement banquet of Gu Nancheng, the son of the Gu family, and Tang Shishi, the daughter of the Tang family, Gu Beici, who is tall and handsome as jade, stands at the door in a black tuxedo to help entertain the guests.
As soon as the car drove into the gate, Xie Wanwan saw Gu Beici from afar, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, the car slowed down at the door and just stopped, Xie Wanwan got out of the car first, and Gu Beici greeted her, with a bright expression.
Xie Wanwan was proud, Gu Beici took a detour to the side of the car and helped Wen Ning open the car door.
"Xiao Ning, are you here too? I'm still talking to my mom about you today, get in. ”
Gu Beici's right hand was intimately placed on Wen Ning's shoulder and brought her inside, Xie Wanwan chased after him from behind and grabbed his left hand.
Hugging left and right, this peculiar combination attracted the attention of the surroundings, Gu Beici hurriedly withdrew his hand and took a step forward, leading the two of them to Gu Mu together.
"Aunt Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become beautiful again." When Xie Wanwan saw Gu's mother, she immediately stepped forward to hug her, as if she was so close.
Gu Mu quietly pushed the person away and looked at Wen Ning with a smile.
"Aunt Gu is good." Wen Ning stepped forward to say hello.
Gu's mother was stunned and looked Wen Ning up and down.
"It's your mother's dress, and I have one too. I thought I saw your mother. ”
Gu's mother pulled Wen Ning to sit down, "Xiao Ning, I haven't seen her for many years, and she has become beautiful." Your dad said you studied abroad, when did you come back? ”
Before Wen Ning could answer, Gu Beici preemptively said, "She also just came back a few days ago." ”
Xie Wanwan saw that the focus had been on Wen Ning, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Auntie, when is Brother Nancheng going to have a wedding?" Are the groomsmen and bridesmaids all set? ”
Speaking of her son's happy event, Gu's mother was in good spirits, "The wedding is next month, and the best man is your friend of Brother Nancheng except for Bei Ci, but there is still a lack of bridesmaids." ”
Gu's mother didn't even think about it, and turned her head to ask Wen Ning, "Xiao Ning, you can be a bridesmaid." ”
Wen Ning felt that she was not suitable, Xie Wanwan saw that she was excluded, and said hurriedly: "Auntie, my sister is not suitable." Her sister has a boyfriend and is about to get married. ”
Gu's mother and Gu Beici were both stunned, Xie Wanwan turned her head and asked Wen Ning, "Is it sister?" Didn't you say that you were going to bring him with you today to get to know everyone? ”
Xie Beiping wanted to maintain the marriage contract, but the marriage partner was changed to Xie Wanwan. The best way is for Wen Ning to take the initiative to bring a 'boyfriend' so that everyone in the Gu family knows that she doesn't like Gu Beici.
Gu's mother asked embarrassedly, "Xiao Ning, do you have a boyfriend?" ”
Wen Ning nodded, she looked at the door, got up and walked out, "He's already at the door." ”
As soon as Shen Sihan arrived at the gate of the Gu family, he saw a familiar shadow in the crowd walking towards him.
She was wearing an ankle-length pink and white slit cheongsam, and her skirt was light and swaying as her footsteps moved, revealing a slender and white calf, and her thin waist was like a spring breeze blowing willows, which was indescribably enchanting.
Shen Sihan had never seen a woman like this, he raised his chin slightly, and his gaze fell on her face.
Wen Ning's eyebrows rippled with indissoluble tenderness, and the corners of her mouth gently hooked up a smile, like an intriguing painting. This expression is very familiar to Shen Sihan.
In the past two years, every time he came home from work, no matter how late it was, he could see Wen Ning greet him with this expression.
Finally figured it out to come back? The corners of Shen Sihan's lips were slightly hooked.
