but……
How could she be so poisoned? !
How could such a fragile woman be so deeply poisoned?
And judging from the way she calmly withdrew her wrist just now, she probably knew she was poisoned and didn't want him to know.
Smelling the faint medicinal fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, he realized that he was getting closer now. He glanced at the large stack of oil-paper bags carried by the maid beside her and caught a glimpse of the seal printed on one corner - Baicaotang.
Did she come out specifically to buy medicine to detoxify?
"I met the young master twice, and he always made mistakes. It seems that the young master is really popular in the capital." Xia Luotong, who had calmed down, couldn't help but joked, "It seems that I have to be more careful when talking to the young master in the future. Otherwise, these ladies might be able to eat me with just their eyes."
"Miss Atong..."
Zuo Xiyan had a look of helplessness on his face. He looked at the girl's crooked eyebrows and sparkling eyes, and her already moving facial features were even more moving because of this smile. He couldn't help but chuckle along with her.
"I won't disturb the young master from doing business. These snacks are for the young master to eat and play with. I will discuss the drawings with shopkeeper Zhao first." Xia Luotong couldn't help but take a small pack of snacks from Zhu Xuan and handed it to him.
Zuo Xiyan looked at the oil paper bag in front of him, then looked at the girl's shimmering eyes, and finally reached out to take it.
Watching the girl follow Shopkeeper Zhao to the private room to talk, he suddenly became a little curious about her.
Who is she?
What kind of person is he?
Why did he still smile so calmly and warmly when he knew that he was seriously poisoned and his life was in danger?
Xia Luotong didn't know what Zuo Xiyan was thinking. At this time, she was more concerned about selling the drawings. This was a major matter related to her detoxification and life-saving money!
After they sat down respectively, she took out two drawings without talking nonsense and asked Zhuxuan to hand them to shopkeeper Zhao.
Shopkeeper Zhao took it smoothly and didn't show too much importance.
He had heard the conversation between his master and this girl just now. It seemed that he was not an acquaintance. His master wanted to help out of kindness. He could see that as a subordinate, he naturally wanted to To get things done for the master.
However, looking at the girl's clothes, it was clear that her family was not well-off. The dress was so plain that there was no decent embroidery, and even the accessories were just one or two simple silver ornaments, so he didn't think that the pattern the other party came up with would be outstanding. Where to go, at least it is not worthy of the words "produced by Yusheng Pavilion".
Just treat it as a favor for the master and offer a similar price later to help this girl.
Shopkeeper Zhao was thinking this, but when his eyes drifted to the drawing, he was shocked. His face changed violently. He was no longer as careless as before. He was so excited that he held the drawing with both hands and came closer to examine it carefully!
"Okay, okay! I didn't expect the girl to be such a talented person! Please don't blame me for the neglect just now!" Shopkeeper Zhao stood up and apologized without hesitation after reading the two drawings in his hand.
Seeing this, Xia Luotong felt a little more favorable to him. It was much easier to get in touch with such a cheerful person.
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Zhao." She smiled and gave him a hand, gesturing for him to sit down and talk in detail.
"The two drawings drawn by the girl, one for men's clothing and one for women's clothing, are really unique and unique, but quite different from the common styles nowadays. From the perspective of the following, who has been in this industry for many years, these two styles The clothes will definitely set off a new wave of fashion in Beijing!" Shopkeeper Zhao said excitedly.
Although Yusheng Pavilion is quite famous in Beijing, there are still several shops that are comparable in strength to them. In the past six months, because they have not launched any special styles, there is a faint tendency to be suppressed by several other peers. This makes How could he not be in a hurry!
The two drawings that the girl in front of them took out can be said to have solved their urgent need!
"Shopkeeper Zhao has given me the award." Xia Luotong is still somewhat confident about her design, so she is more concerned about the price.
"What do you call a girl?"
"Shopkeeper Zhao just calls me A Tong." Although not many people in the capital knew her, but she was careful not to reveal her full name outside.
"I wonder if Miss Atong has come out with detailed drawings this time?" The two drawings Shopkeeper Zhao just looked at were just renderings of the entire garment, and there were no specific details. I guessed that this part of the drawings was the most important. It should be ready to wait until the price is agreed upon before taking it out.
"Of course I brought it with me. I wonder what price Shopkeeper Zhao can offer to get this drawing?" Xia Luotong said bluntly.
In fact, she didn't quite know what price the two drawings could be sold for, and Zhuxuan didn't know much about this either.
She had visited a few ready-made clothing stores and had a rough idea of the prices of finished products, but the drawings were not very clear, so she had to explore their background first.
"I wonder if the girl only plans to do this one-time transaction, or does she have the idea of providing design drawings to our Yusheng Pavilion for a long time in the future?" Shopkeeper Zhao pondered for a moment and said with a little anticipation.
If these two design drawings were really made by the girl in front of him, then he would definitely win this partnership! Otherwise, it will definitely become a help to competitors!
In the past six months, several of their Yusheng Pavilion designers have been poached, and for some unknown reason, the remaining few can never come up with satisfactory works.
And now, he sees the girl's great value from these two design drawings. If he can provide a few such drawings from time to time in the future, then Yusheng Pavilion's new products will not have to worry! There is no need to worry about being outdone by competitors and losing their status in the capital!
Out of all these considerations, he felt it was necessary to pay a high price to keep the person!
"If Shopkeeper Zhao is sincere and the cooperation between us is happy, I will be happy to provide Yusheng Pavilion with design drawings on a long-term basis." Xia Luotong's eyes flashed slightly, and the smile on his face widened by two points.
This is her real goal. A single transaction may earn a lot of money at one time, but in the long run, it is not cost-effective. Therefore, in order to maximize profits, her goal is to find a store that can cooperate with her for a long time. .
Of course, as a precarious "weak woman", her first choice of target store must be reliable. Judging from the observations just now, if this Yusheng Pavilion is really Zuo Xiyan's shop, it has such a weak connection. It is much safer than other stores.
Shopkeeper Zhao, who has been in shopping malls for a long time, naturally heard the hint in Xia Luotong's words. While he was a little surprised, he also thought highly of her.
Although the girl in front of her looks young, she looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has an outstanding appearance but is a bit frail, but her aura is something that should not be underestimated, especially when she sat down at this table and started talking. At the time of the incident, it seemed that he had become the leader of everything, making it impossible to ignore.
No matter she is facing a veteran in the shopping mall like him, or even facing a popular figure like her own master, the girl in front of her is always calm and composed. This demeanor makes people look at her, but it is inconsistent with her dress.
Who is this girl?
