Zhou Sumiang didn't look through it for long before she selected two items.
Guo Xier took a look and found that these two models were among the best-selling ones. Su Niang got the news from her best friend around this week.
Upon seeing this, He Xiaoyue immediately opened the relevant bills.
"Ms. Zhou, please go to the dressing room and get measured."
Zhou Sumiang got up and went to the dressing room. He Xiaoyue took a tape measure and a notebook and followed in. A maid who was with her also wanted to follow, but Zhou Sumiang gave her a sharp look and scolded:
"rude!"
Guo Xier quickly stopped the maid and explained that custom-made undergarments are different from other clothes. You have to take them off to an almost naked level before you can measure your body. If your aunt doesn't want you to serve her personally, it's better not to go in.
The maid who followed was not Zhou Sumiang's personal maid, but more for "monitoring and protection". After Guo Xier said this, she no longer insisted on going in to serve.
He Xiaoyue helped Zhou Sumiang take off her clothes, and then hung them up piece by piece until the flesh-hugging shirt was exposed, and then started to measure her bust with a tape measure. Just as she was leaning forward, she heard Zhou Sumiang lower her voice and ask: "Don't be so loud, I have something to ask you."
He Xiaoyue was startled and almost dropped the measuring tape. She calmed down and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"Is there a man here..."
The word "man" hit her ears and she immediately became alert. When members of a wealthy family go out, the most taboo thing for the head of the family is contact with foreign men. And the family members who are bored and bored at home all day long will often take advantage of this opportunity to secretly meet their lovers.
If you want to do business with a wealthy family, you must not commit this taboo. Therefore, Wanzi Pavilion specifically emphasizes in the education of its employees: they are not allowed to be matchmakers, and they are not allowed to have private meetings with men and women in the store; in addition, all employees who come into contact with female customers are women. Male designers, craftsmen, and technicians generally do not have contact with female customers. If they do, female colleagues must be present. To avoid being unclear about what happened.
But when Zhou Sumiang asked her so seriously, she couldn't answer.
"There are many male employees in our store, who are you talking about?" He Xiaoyue was vague. .
"The one who delivered your meal just now..."
"Wu Xinsheng?!" He Xiaoyue was startled and said the name involuntarily. She suddenly regretted: How could I answer her words?
"So his name is Wu Xinsheng..." Zhou Sumiang seemed a little disappointed and asked, "Is this his real name?"
"I don't know about this. I've only been here a few months." He Xiaoyue spoke more carefully.
"Is there a burn scar on his left elbow?"
"Well, I don't know..." He Xiaoyue shook her head, "His left arm is disabled. Besides, he always wears clothes."
"Then...how old is he this year?"
"About thirty." He Xiaoyue blurred the words as much as possible. She didn't know why she was so interested in Wu Xinsheng. But she knew one thing, she couldn't mess with this!
An excited expression suddenly appeared on Zhou Sumiang's face, and she murmured to herself: "Yes, the age matches..."
He Xiaoyue just wanted to end the measurement quickly, and her hands sped up: "Please raise your arm."
"Is he from Xiangshan County?"
He Xiaoyue hesitated and said: "Master Wu is indeed from Guangdong. I don't know if he is from Xiangshan County."
Zhou Sumiang's face showed a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare. Several times I hesitated to speak.
How could He Xiaoyue dare to talk to her again? With sweat on her forehead, she quickly measured the measurements and recorded them in her notebook.
About the time the body measurement was about to end, Zhou Sumiang had a conflicted look on her face. Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she took out a letter from her arms and thrust it into her hand. Said hurriedly:
"Girl, I know you are a good person. It is very inconvenient for me, and I cannot elaborate on some things. Please, girl, please forward this letter to that Master Wu!"
"This..." He Xiaoyue almost screamed and subconsciously pushed the letter out. The commotion was probably getting louder, so Guo Xier outside asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing," He Xiaoyue said quickly, "My tape measure fell off."
"Be careful..."
Zhou Sumiang became more and more anxious and whispered in He Xiaoyue's ear: "Girl. This matter has nothing to do with anything personal. I would like to ask the girl to do it for your convenience..." After saying that, He Xiaoyue felt something was stuffed into her hand.
Before she could react, Zhou Sumiang had already started to get dressed. He Xiaoyue quickly stuffed everything into her pockets and helped her put on her dress. Before leaving the house, Zhou Sumiang took another deep look at her and said in a low voice: "This matter is related to my life. Please do me a favor, and I will repay you with a ring made of grass..."
He Xiaoyue was so distraught that she finally sent Zhou Sumiang and her party out. When the two returned to the office, Guo Xier opened the lid of the rice noodles and muttered: "The rice noodles are all burnt..." and started eating. He Xiaoyue took a few random bites, then said that she had something else to do and hid in the reference room alone.
There are no dedicated staff in the data room, and the designers usually clean and organize it themselves. Usually no one comes, and only the designers have the keys. Very quiet.
He Xiaoyue hid in the data room and took out everything in the notebook.
One is a letter, unsealed. There is no payment mark on the envelope. He Xiaoyue didn't dare to pull away and look at another thing, but it was a tightly wrapped handkerchief bag. It was heavy, but when she opened it, it revealed five silver dollars.
Five dollars was indeed not a small amount. It was just used to send a message. Of course He Xiaoyue didn't believe it.
She thought about it and decided that she could only discuss this matter with Guo Xier. Although she is a big talker, she is his supporter. If he doesn't tell her, he is out of touch. She will never protect herself if something happens. Guo Xi'er's sister is the elder's life secretary. As long as she is willing to help, everything can be done.
She immediately brought Guo Xi'er to the reference room, told her everything in detail, and showed her something.
"What can we do?" He Xiaoyue asked anxiously.
Guo Xier was dumbfounded now. This was the first time she had encountered this.
"What should I do?" She held two things and looked over them.
"I think that handing it over is not just for a solution, but if it is leaked and removed, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster for Zhou Sumiang..."
"What's the big trouble?" Guo Xi'er came from a small family. He was young when he came to Gao and had no idea of the dangers here.
"If anyone in the Qu family finds out about this, she will be punished and forced to live in seclusion; at worst, she will be tortured in every possible way until she is forced to commit suicide."
"It's so scary...just a letter..." Guo Xi'er didn't believe it.
"Just a letter! Humph," He Xiaoyue thought, how could you know the danger in this! "In a wealthy family, the most important thing is to guard the boudoir. It is a heinous crime for wives and concubines to communicate with foreign men in private! Even if this letter has no important content, the fact that she intends to send it to Wu Xinsheng is enough to give her a slap in the face! If the master is suspected of being seriously ill or... If the aunt wants to harm her, she will torture her in every possible way. When the time comes, she will really have no choice but to live or die..."
Guo Xier's beauty turned pale, and she hesitated: "In that case, we can't let others know about this. Otherwise, it will harm her!"
"Well," He Xiaoyue nodded, "This letter cannot be given to Wu Xinsheng..."
"Why don't we take a look." Guo Xi'er's curiosity arose again, "You don't even know what the letter is? Maybe it's nothing serious."
"It's better not to read it..."
"Let's see what happens." Guo Xi'er disagreed, "Maybe it's nothing serious."
He Xiaoyue wanted to persuade her, but seeing that she was very interested, he couldn't disobey her, so he acquiesced.
Open the envelope and pull out a blank piece of paper. When I unfolded it, there were only three words on it: "The Japanese fell down".
Guo Xier wondered: "What does this mean?"
He Xiaoyue knew, however, that this was the line "The Japanese fell and combed their buns low" in a poem by Wen Tingyun, "Nan Gezi: The Japanese dropped their buns low."
This poem is about a woman's spring lovesickness and is one of Wen Tingyun's masterpieces. He Xiaoyue secretly slandered: "This matter has nothing to do with personal matters"! This Zhou Su Niang is not an ordinary person.
Seeing that Guo Xi'er was puzzled, she interpreted the poem in detail.
"But there are only three words on it."
"There are only three words, and you can guess that this is it." He Xiaoyue said, "It means that a woman loves and misses lovesickness."
"Then, doesn't it mean that she has a crush on Master Wu?"
"It goes without saying!" He Xiaoyue said, "She also knows that Master Wu has a scar under his left elbow. He is from Xiangshan County. In all likelihood, he is an old acquaintance and good friend!"
"So romantic..." Guo Xier's eyes turned into stars.
"What's romantic?" He Xiaoyue couldn't laugh or cry, "It would be serious to cause trouble."
"Then what should we do?" Guo Xi'er also realized the seriousness of it. She thought about it and said, "Then I know I can only report it. But according to the system, I have to blacklist her..."
"You can't do it, you can't do it." He Xiaoyue knew that this system was the best protective measure to ensure the store's reputation and prevent store employees from falling into scandals. However, as soon as the measure came out, people in the Qu family would inevitably become suspicious, "This week Su Niang will not survive. !”
"What should we do?" Guo Xi'er asked.
"I think this can only be done at the bottom of the pot. Naturally, I can't help her deliver the letter. Or Master Wu, how can I find a way to prevent Zhou Sumiang from seeing him here? Naturally, I have no idea."
Guo Xier nodded and said: "Xiaoyue, you are right, this is the most comprehensive way. Speaking of which, my sister recently told me that there are going to be many projects in Guangdong soon and they need manpower. Ask me if there is anyone I want to recommend. Send him there. They all work as cadres. I don’t have anyone to recommend, so I might as well recommend him. Master Wu is a very nice person. Besides, he is only missing half an arm, so he can walk and write without any hindrance. He is here to be a janitor. The handyman is too aggrieved. Why not just send him away from afar, everyone will benefit."
