The female manager pushed aside the shopping guide and led Lin Xian into the inner room.
This room is at the very back of the store, very hidden, and there is no sign on the door.
"Mr. Lin, please come in."
After the female manager opened the code lock, she bowed and motioned for Lin Xian to go forward.
After entering the room, Lin Xian found that the light inside was very bright, and European-style wooden furniture was placed around the house, giving it a sense of age.
In the middle of the house, there are three glass cabinets, each with a set of straight suits hanging inside.
"Mr. Lin, this is the top-quality handmade suit in our store. Each piece is hand-sewn by more than 80 workers and goes through more than 200 processes."
"You are an expert, so I won't tell you more about the craftsmanship. Which of these three suits do you like? I'll take it out for you to try on."
"I heard Mr. Zhao say... that you will attend a dinner party with her tonight. If it is a dinner party... I actually recommend the set on the left. Its style is less formal and the matching is more colorful."
Listening to the female manager's introduction, Lin Xian turned to look at the glass cabinet on the left.
It was a blue-black suit. Even if Lin Xian didn't understand that much, he could tell at a glance... This suit was of a higher grade than the ones outside in every aspect.
"Then let's try this one."
Lin Xian has worn a suit once in his life, and he trusts professional vision more than choosing one by himself.
After trying it on, Lin Xian looked in the mirror.
It's true that people really rely on clothes... The effect of wearing this top-notch suit is indeed different. Lin Xian has the illusion of entering the upper class and half-stepping into the aristocracy.
"That's it, wrap it up for me."
"Okay Mr. Lin! Do you want me to recommend a tie to you?"
"Well, you can match it."
…
After a long time, Lin Xian walked out of the store carrying a suitcase.
For the first time, he knew that this kind of top-quality suit was usually packed in a box.
The female manager told him that when he got home, he should take the suit out of the box and hang it upright to prevent it from getting wrinkled. The purpose of this box is to protect the suit during transportation.
"It's really delicate..."
Lin Xian carried this suit box, feeling like he was carrying a box of gold.
He was quite curious about how much this so-called top-quality suit was worth... But there was no price written on the three glass cabinets, and the female manager directly recorded it in Zhao Yingjun's account. In the end, Lin Xian didn't know how much it was.
Since the "basic model" outside can sell for 96,000, the "advanced model" inside should cost at least double that, right?
7pm.
Lin Xian took a taxi to the venue where the dinner was held.
This is the most luxurious mansion in Donghai City. After the car stopped, a special greeter opened the door and blocked the door frame with his palm.
"Sir, please be careful when getting out of the car."
Lin Xian walked towards the hall of the guild hall. Several oncoming guests nodded and smiled at Lin Xian, and Lin Xian also smiled and nodded.
The entire hall is decorated in European style, and the bricks and tiles reveal elegance and solemnity.
When we walked into the hall, the dinner party hadn't officially started yet.
The guests were holding wine glasses and chatting around, while melodious violin and piano were played on the second floor. This atmosphere... reminded Lin Xian of the scene in "Titanic".
Lin Xian quickly found Zhao Yingjun.
She wore a dark red evening dress today, her hair was tied up in a very formal style.
Lin Xian noticed that her earrings had also been changed from silver to crystal red, which matched the evening dress very well.
Different from Zhao Yingjun who usually wears formal clothes, today's Zhao Yingjun... looks more feminine and has the beauty of a tall rose.
"Lin Xian, you're here."
Zhao Yingjun noticed Lin Xian, looked up and down, and nodded:
"You have good taste. This outfit suits you very well."
She came over, pinched the knot of Lin Xian's tie, and tightened it:
"Lin Xian, a suit is a man's armor, and his tie is the sword in his hand. Remember to tie it tight next time."
"Oh well……"
Lin Xian opened his mouth and responded.
Patting Lin Xian's collar, Zhao Yingjun picked up the wine glass again and led Lin Xian inside:
"Today's science fundraising dinner is organized by the president of the [East China Sea Chamber of Commerce]... [Chu Shanhe]."
She pointed at the burly man under the long staircase in the hall, chatting and laughing with a group of big shots:
"That is Chu Shanhe, the most famous big shot in Donghai City."
"heard about it."
Lin Xian nodded.
The name Chushanhe is known to everyone in Donghai City. This is the person who should not be messed with in the entire Donghai City, and the person no one dares to mess with.
As an international metropolis, Donghai City is complicated both overtly and covertly. How can the position of President of the Chamber of Commerce, which has great say and hard power, be secure for ordinary people?
"When I was in college, I often heard the legend of Chu Shanhe, but I don't know if it is true or not. There are also rumors that... he is a daughter slave?"
Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly:
"That's true."
"Does he dote on his daughter?"
"That's not an ordinary pet... I hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and I hold it in my mouth for fear of melting."
Zhao Yingjun looked around and shook his head:
"Chu Shanhe used to bring his daughter to every banquet, but I didn't see her today. She is a very beautiful little girl."
"oh."
Lin Xian responded casually.
He doesn't care about these gossips, they are all in a world that has nothing to do with him.
"Lin Xian, look over there."
Zhao Yingjun pulled Lin Xian and pointed to the other side.
It was a man standing alone in the corner of the hall. His painting style was incompatible with the entire dinner.
He was wearing a very casual shirt, an unshaven beard on his face, and thick square glasses that were still foggy...
"That is Professor Xu and Professor Xu Yun from Tunghai University. Did you know him when you were in school?"
"I don't know." Lin Xian told the truth.
Tunghai University is so big, has so many colleges, and so many teachers... Lin Xian can't even recognize all the teachers in this college, let alone other colleges. .
"Professor Xu Yun is the only scientist in China who studies the subject of [hibernation cabin]. There has been little progress in research. He has not even grasped the most basic theory, let alone made any substantial progress."
"Is there anyone in China studying this? It's too science fiction."
Zhao Yingjun lowered his head and smiled:
"He's the only one."
"Just because he studied such outrageous things, no research institute wanted him. His former teachers and students also left him. Everyone thought he was crazy."
"For so many years, he has only managed to get the title of associate professor without any scientific research results. He can only stay in the university, teaching and conducting research in the laboratory."
"but."
Zhao Yingjun stared at the red wine shaking in the glass and continued:
"Perhaps this is the fate of people. When it declines to the extreme, it will rebound."
"Some time ago, he failed again when studying the hibernation cabin filling fluid, but accidentally obtained a new chemical substance."
"After this substance combines with water molecules, it will form a monomolecular film that is breathable but completely isolates water molecules and is harmless to the skin."
Zhao Yingjun put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and then took a new glass of red wine from the waiter next to him:
"This chemical substance is undoubtedly a failure for Professor Xu's hibernation research. But Lin Xian..."
"Do you know what this substance means in our skin care field?"
