"If I don't come back this time, the schedule will be half a month later..."
"Anyway, the Qu family has a lot of money, and Mr. Qu dotes on her. He is happy to let us earn more storage fees."
"Forget it, let's take a look at the afternoon customers first." He Xiaoyue picked up the enamel tea cup and took a few sips, then looked through the registration book. Suddenly he sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"The old lady from the Gao family is coming this afternoon."
"Dear mother," Guo Xi'er flattened her mouth and said a patois involuntarily.
This old lady from the Gao family is none other than the "quasi-mother-in-law" of Wang Luobin, the current chairman of the Senate. The reason why it is said to be "accurate" is because Chairman Wang has not yet registered his marriage with Colgate, but he has not gotten involved with the second or third life secretaries either. So Colgate is actually "Mrs. Wang" without a formal title.
In addition to Wang Luobin's status, Colgate was also the life secretary of the first senator. Both status and seniority are available. Even Colgate's mother also became majestic. It has a very bad reputation among life secretaries.
Mrs. Gao is one of the customers that the employees of Wanzi Pavilion least want to see. She is known for her many demands and a bad look on her face, and she always mentions: "My Robin". Guo Xi'er complained in front of He Xiaoyue more than once: "Wang The chairman has not even married your daughter!" However, He Xiaoyue always smiled at such words and did not dare to answer them.
"What did she order?" He Xiaoyue asked.
"Haha," Guo Xi'er laughed a few times, "see for yourself. She is simply the first-class wife of the Ming Dynasty..."
He Xiaoyue took the account book. It turned out that she had ordered a set of formal clothes worn by women from a wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty: a coat skirt and a round-neck blouse. There is nothing special about the style of the clothes, other than the use of three-dimensional tailoring, but the materials used are extremely luxurious and sophisticated.
"Is this what she wants to wear?" She couldn't believe it, because this type of formal Hanfu clothing was rarely ordered by naturalized citizens, let alone the "people around" the elders.
"This... this is too exaggerated." He Xiaoyue exclaimed.
"You don't know, but last month she also ordered a set for Sister Gao, a bright red velvet embroidered gold horse-faced dress! Tsk, tsk, I haven't even worshiped in this class yet, and I want to wear a red dress!"
He Xiaoyue did not dare to answer, but kept making exclamations of surprise.
"She has changed these clothes seven or eight times and she is still not satisfied. Alas," Guo Xi'er sighed, "she is now one of the most difficult customers in our store. Thinking about it gives me a headache."
As they were talking, the door was knocked again. He Xiaoyue thought it was Zhou Su Niang coming, but just as she breathed a sigh of relief, it was Wu Xinsheng who opened the door and came in. Came in carrying a tin bucket and cleaning tools.
Seeing that He Xiaoyue and Guo Xi'er were still there, he was stunned: "Ah? It's not over yet?"
"Alas, there is another guest who didn't come."
"If she didn't come, she didn't come. The loss is hers."
"That's what I said. But it's not good anyway." He Xiaoyue sighed.
"Then I'll clean up later." Wu Xinsheng said.
"Since you're here, clean up first. It's not convenient for you to bring tools. I don't think she will come..."
"Let's take turns to eat first." He Xiaoyue had breakfast early and had been hungry for a while. The employees of Wanzi Pavilion had their lunch at nearby restaurants.
"No, no, I'm treating you." Guo Xier was very generous. Regardless of He Xiaoyue's attitude, she took out her wallet from her pocket, took out a banknote, and said to Wu Xinsheng: "Master Wu, please go to the "Old Friend Noodle Shop" on the corner and buy us two bowls of rice noodles. "
"Okay, it's still the same as usual: medium, add egg, no spicy, no coriander."
"You remember it so clearly, there's no need to look for the rest."
Wu Xinsheng took the money, packed up the cleaning tools and walked out. Not long after I left, the female clerk knocked on the door and said: Zhou Sumiang is here.
"We'll come right away." He and Guo both cheered up. Today's most important guest finally arrived.
For big customers, they all have to go out to greet them. This is a rule set by General Manager Wanzige since the 82nd.
They walked out of the big customer reception room and just arrived in the corridor. I saw the clerk leading Zhou Sumiang over with a smile on his face. As usual, there were three or four maidservants behind him.
Zhou Sumiang frowned slightly, looking worried. There was almost no response to the two's "warm welcome".
Both of them were a little surprised. Although Zhou Xiaoniang looked depressed on weekdays, her polite response in the scene was flawless. She had never looked so distracted.
A full set of elegant seating and tea sets were specially arranged in the waiting room for important customers. As soon as Zhou Sumiang sat down, the female clerk brought hot towels to her.
"Ms. Zhou..." He Xiaoyue started. In order to take care of various customer groups, Wanzi Pavilion always uses the word "Ms." for married female customers. This is not only to express respect, but also to avoid mentioning the difference between ordinary and ordinary people in wealthy families, so as not to affect their mood. Certain scene rules must be followed in specific applications. After He Xiaoyue studied it, she realized that the Australians were no worse than the Ming Dynasty in doing this, and they even felt like they were better than their masters.
"Huh?" Zhou Sumiang responded absently.
"This is this spring's Mingqian tea, shipped from Hangzhou by speedboat." He Xiaoyue personally put the tea cup sent by the clerk to the coffee table next to her, "It is brewed with spring water. You can try it."
Zhou Sumiang is very particular about tea tasting, and sometimes she would chat with them about tea if she was in a good mood, but today she didn't even touch the cup, she just said: "I'm sorry." His eyes glanced at the door from time to time.
He Xiaoyue glanced at the two maids who came with her at the door - nothing strange. What was she looking at?
Guo Xier also looked puzzled, but since the people were here, the goods still had to be delivered. Now I walked to the display stand, pulled up the bamboo curtain that was specially put down to create an effect, and started to explain. I glanced at Zhou Sumiang from time to time, but I saw that she was just looking at the clothes infatuatedly, as if she didn't listen carefully to what she said.
What's going on here? Guo Xier was surprised. Ever since the renderings of this dress came out, it has caught the attention of Zhou Xiaoniang. Now that the ready-made clothes have come out, the effect is even better than the renderings. Why doesn't she have any energy at all?
In addition to being disappointed, Guo Xier was a little dejected. Suddenly a voice came from the door: "Miss Guo, Miss He, the rice noodles are here..."
As he said that, Wu Xinsheng was smiling and carrying a rattan food box to come in. As soon as he showed up at the door, he realized that guests were being received inside. He quickly said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm rude. I'll send it to you later." After that, he left.
At this moment, He Xiaoyue saw Zhou Sumiang's eyes suddenly light up. She was startled and quickly blinked and looked again, but it was the same as before.
Could it be that I'm dazzled? He Xiaoyue was full of suspicion.
"Ms. Zhou, please try on the clothes." Guo Xier finished the explanation hastily and entered the try-on session.
According to the high-end customization process, this is not the first time she has tried it on. After each try-on, the garment pieces must be disassembled according to the situation and modified again based on the results. This is the sixth time today. I am very satisfied with it after trying it on for the fifth time. This time was the final fitting, and it was delivered without any surprises.
"Okay." Zhou Sumiang stood up and said. Her expression suddenly changed, she was no longer as absent-minded as before, and her eyes became brighter.
Zhou Sumiang walked into the dressing room, and the two maids followed her. He Xiaoyue quickly put down the bamboo curtain - although they were both women, the female relatives of a wealthy family were strictly guarded. The maids and maids had to help when changing clothes. Not to mention helping, they were not even allowed to look.
They are only allowed to have close contact with the female family members' bodies when they are being measured. I saw them wearing obscene clothes. This is already considered the biggest concession for a large business owner to make clothes in Wanzi Pavilion.
Guo Xier and He Xiaoyue just waited outside. After a while, they saw Zhou Suniang coming out after changing her clothes. A beauty paired with a gorgeous blouse is truly extraordinary. The two looked at her and praised her repeatedly, then invited her to stand in front of the full-length mirror.
"This dress is so matching!" He Xiaoyue said sincerely, "It's so beautiful."
Zhou Sumiang looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes mixed with joy, admiration, and a little regret. He nodded silently: "These clothes are good. Bring me the order."
It said that taking the order means that the acceptance has been passed. With Wanzi Pavilion alone, you can settle the payment with the Qu family's accounting office.
He Xiaoyue was overjoyed: she got the commission for this order again! Quickly sell again:
"Supporting shoes and small items..."
"That's all on the list. I've bought hundreds of clothes, do you still care about the money?" Zhou Sumiang said lightly.
Guo Xier was a little confused now. Wasn't Zhou Xiaoniang such a spendthrift person in the past? She went over to make clothes. In fact, it was more of a sign of favor from the master, and she was not too interested. Therefore, I never ask for any special requirements or purchase additional accessories. It can be said that I am a very frugal person.
If you don’t understand, you don’t understand. Selling more goods is always a good thing. Immediately he thanked her and said a few compliments.
Zhou Sumiang changed her clothes and suddenly said: "I also want to order two sets of obscene clothes. I wonder what styles you have here?"
He Xiaoyue was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I will bring the drawings right away." But she was extremely surprised in her heart, what happened today? The sun comes out from the west
The underwear sold by Wanzi Pavilion is quite famous in Lingao. Compared with various Hanfu, Han elements, Lolita or other similar fashions, these private styles have no scruples, are avant-garde and bold. But because the materials used are picky, cutting is difficult and the price is very high. However, the acceptance in the high-end market where the company focuses is very high. This was also the strangest thing that He Xiaoyue found after coming to Wanzi Pavilion. The wealthy old men were always picky about the hemlines and sleeve lengths of their wives and concubines. The more revealing clothes are selling like hot cakes.
Guo Xier immediately left the dressing room, went to the side and took out two thick albums and asked Zhou Sumiang to choose.
