"It's not about money." Shi Mengwan smiled appropriately. "This is the work I won in the competition in France. I didn't intend to sell it. "
"The work that won the prize? In other words, this is the only one? "
When Chen Feifei heard this, she was even more determined to win. "Then I'll take this one."
"Miss Chen."
"Alright, aren't you guys doing business when you open the door?" Chen Feifei looked confused. "How can you not do business when you open the door? If you don't want to pay double the price, then I'll pay triple. Is that okay? "
Shi Mengwan didn't respond. Chen Feifei was a little dissatisfied. "What's wrong with you? Aren't I advertising for you by wearing your clothes? When the time comes, more people in your studio will know about it, won't they? Do you know how to do business? "
Shi Mengwan couldn't argue with Chen Feifei, so she could only take off the clothes and ask someone to wrap them up.
Chen Feifei swiped the card and glanced at Shi Mengwan. "Miss Shi, the clothes you designed are actually quite good, but I don't think you guys know how to advertise. Next time, just advertise it. "
Shi Mengwan didn't respond. The studio's popularity was actually quite high now. After winning the award, there were still many online orders. She was wondering if she should hire a few more people.
"By the way, if you have a new model next time, you can call me." As Chen Feifei spoke, she took out a business card.
"Okay." Shi Mengwan took the business card from Chen Feifei. On it was written the manager of the Chen Corporation's customer service department.
After sending Chen Feifei away, Shi Mengwan looked at the empty model and wasn't in the mood to think too much. She asked Xiao Ji to bring a set of clothes for the model to wear.
A thought flashed through her mind. If Chen Feifei went to the reception, would Zhan Haoze go? If he did, would he see that dress and think of her?
Shi Mengwan, who realized what she was thinking, quickly stopped that thought.
You guys have already broken up. She told herself that since that was the case, then it had nothing to do with that person.
Not long after she returned to the office, someone came to look for her. To Shi Mengwan's surprise, the person who came was Wan Xianyang.
"Why are you here?"
In fact, after returning from France, Wan Xianyang specially came to Lin City to look for her twice. Other than coming to her house to look for her, the messages and calls never stopped.
Last time, he said that he had something to do in Lin City. She thought he was just joking. She didn't expect that he would really come.
"Can't I come?" Wan Xianyang handed the bouquet of roses to Shi Mengwan. This time, it was a bouquet of pink roses.
Every time he came to look for her, he would send her flowers.
Shi Mengwan looked at the bouquet of flowers and didn't take it for a long time. "Wan Xianyang, I told you, I –"
"I know that you don't like me, so it's impossible for you to be with me, right?" Wan Xianyang spoke first, leaving Shi Mengwan speechless. "I'm just giving you a bouquet of flowers. You don't have to be so nervous, right? "
Shi Mengwan watched as he forcefully placed the bouquet of flowers in her hand. She had no choice but to take it.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Wan Xianyang smiled. "You don't have to thank me. If you really want to thank me, why don't you accompany me for a meal? "
"Wan Xianyang —"
"No matter what, I flew all the way from Rong City to look for you. Shouldn't you show your hospitality as a host?"
Shi Mengwan couldn't refuse him at all. In addition, the other party was Huo Jinyao's childhood friend. In the end, she nodded.
"Okay. Then, wait for me. I'll go change. "
"It's okay. Beautiful women have to make people wait."
Wan Xianyang's words made Shi Mengwan feel uncomfortable again. She changed her clothes and came out, but the way Wan Xianyang looked at her was a little strange.
His gaze swept across her body, making Shi Mengwan think that there was something wrong with her. She followed his gaze and looked at herself.
"Very beautiful."
His praise made Shi Mengwan feel uncomfortable. "Let's go."
"Let's go. What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine." Shi Mengwan wasn't picky about food. Wan Xianyang sighed. "It's very difficult for me if you're like this. I'm treating people to a meal, and I'm most afraid of hearing anything like that. "
Just as Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed, Wan Xianyang approached her and added, "However, beautiful women have special privileges."
Shi Mengwan couldn't help but laugh. This Wan Xianyang was a very interesting person most of the time.
Wan Xianyang brought Shi Mengwan to ChaoWen Courtyard. Shi Mengwan had been here a few times, but she didn't expect Wan Xianyang to be so familiar with this place.
Shi Mengwan thought that it would be awkward for a man and a woman to eat alone, but in fact, it wasn't at all. Wan Xianyang was a very humorous person.
He talked about some interesting things that happened when he went to Hong Kong to auction antiques. Shi Mengwan wasn't bored listening.
He had a good sense of propriety and never said anything too excessive or made any requests. Although he occasionally made a joke or two, it didn't make people feel embarrassed.
Shi Mengwan looked at Wan Xianyang and had to admit that he was a very good man. Unfortunately, she didn't have any feelings for him.
After dinner, when Wan Xianyang and Shi Mengwan were about to leave, they met an acquaintance.
"I'll go say hello. Wait for me. "
Shi Mengwan wasn't surprised that Wan Xianyang had acquaintances in Lin City. However, that person looked a little familiar. Later, she remembered that he seemed to be in an antique business in Lin City. His daughter had once come to her studio to order a dress.
Thinking of Wan Xianyang's business, it wasn't strange that he knew him.
After exchanging pleasantries with him, Wan Xianyang came back with an apologetic look on his face. "Sorry to have made you wait for a long time, right?"
"It's okay."
"Let's go."
After sending Shi Mengwan to the apartment building, Wan Xianyang watched her get out of the car and called out to her. "Aren't you going to invite me up for a seat?"
Shi Mengwan became nervous because of his words. "I'm afraid it's not convenient."
"I'm joking." Wan Xianyang got out of the car and stood in front of her. "It's the middle of the night. Even if you let me go up, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
Shi Mengwan felt a little embarrassed again. "Wan Xianyang, I really …"
"Stop, stop. Today's night is very beautiful to me. You don't have to say those disappointing words anymore. "
"Okay. I won't say it. "
"That's right." Wan Xianyang turned around and picked up a small box from the back seat of the car. "This is for you."
"This isn't appropriate, right?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Just treat it as a thank you for accompanying me to dinner."
"There's no such logic. You're treating me to dinner, but I still have to accept your gift."
Shi Mengwan refused to accept it, but Wan Xianyang stubbornly placed the small box in her hand. "Don't worry, it's not a ring. You don't have to be so nervous."
"Wan Xianyang." Shi Mengwan pushed the box back. "You really don't have to do this. I'll be embarrassed if you do this."
"If you really feel embarrassed, how about you accompany me to a banquet tomorrow?"
"A banquet?" Shi Mengwan was stunned. "What banquet?"
"Don't be so nervous." Wan Xianyang smiled. "It's the Mr. Dong I met today. Tomorrow is his father's 70th birthday. My grandfather has some friendship with him. When he saw me, he invited me to attend. Logically speaking, I should go, so can I trouble you to be my female companion? "
"This isn't appropriate, right?"
"How could that be? I don't think it's inappropriate. Or are you not willing to help me? "
Wan Xianyang's attitude was too open and aboveboard. Shi Mengwan met the sincerity in his eyes and finally nodded. "Okay. I promise you. "
… …
Since Shi Mengwan had promised Wan Xianyang, she would naturally prepare well the next day.
Before she got off work, she picked out one of the dresses from the series that she had passed the semi-finals. The aqua blue gown had a calm color. It was very suitable for her to attend the birthday banquet.
Xiao Ji knew that Shi Mengwan was going to attend the banquet, so she was even more excited than herself. She followed the other two assistants of the company and tormented Shi Mengwan.
Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head, leaving two strands hanging by her ears. Coupled with a pair of high heels of the same color. She looked elegant and imposing.
It wasn't time to get off work yet, but Wan Xianyang came to pick her up. When he saw Shi Mengwan like this, Wan Xianyang's gaze fell on her and didn't move away.
"I regret it." Wan Xianyang stood there with a conflicted expression. "I don't want to bring such a beautiful female companion out. I want to hide you. "
His words made Shi Mengwan's nervousness disappear without a trace.
"Thank you. You're also very handsome today." Wan Xianyang was wearing a white suit today. The bow tie on his chest was dark blue. There was also a faint blue in the pocket on his chest.
From this, it looked like the two of them were wearing a couple's outfit. Shi Mengwan felt that it was a little strange, but Wan Xianyang was glad that he had chosen this set of clothes today.
He was afraid that Shi Mengwan would lose face, so he didn't tease her about it.
"Let's go."
Shi Mengwan was about to walk out, but Wan Xianyang stopped in his tracks. He took out the small box from yesterday from his pocket. Opening it, there was a pair of blue diamond earrings inside.
"Look, don't we have a tacit understanding? The gown you chose is the same color as the gown I chose? "
As he spoke, he even looked at himself. It wasn't just the color of the earrings that matched, but the clothes also matched. In short, everything matched.
Shi Mengwan couldn't answer him. Wan Xianyang went forward and was about to put it on for her.
"There's no need, right?"
"Don't reject me." Wan Xianyang went forward and took out the pair of earrings. "It really suits you. Just treat it as a thank you gift for accompanying me to the banquet."
This person could always find so many reasons. Before Shi Mengwan could refuse, Wan Xianyang had already put the earrings on for her.
Shi Mengwan couldn't see her own appearance. Wan Xianyang took a step back with obvious admiration in his eyes.
"So beautiful. I really don't want to bring you along anymore. What should I do? "
Although he said that, Wan Xianyang still brought Shi Mengwan to the hotel where the banquet was held.
When Shi Mengwan and Wan Xianyang entered the banquet hall, there were already a lot of people there. When the two of them came in, they tried their best to keep a low profile, but they still attracted a lot of attention.
The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, but they were unfamiliar faces. They didn't seem to be from Lin City's circle.
Wan Xianyang's antique shop was in Rong City. But he had been flying all over the world to buy antiques all these years. More importantly, his family had a long history.
Although he was young in the antique appraisal industry, he was already very experienced.
The host of today's banquet, Old Master Dong, had dealt with Wan Xianyang's family a lot, so he naturally knew him.
When Old Master Dong's son, Dong Yi, saw Wan Xianyang coming over, he immediately came over. He met him yesterday, and he was also the one who invited Wan Xianyang to today's banquet.
"Xianyang is here? My dad is talking about you. "
Dong Yi was from the same generation as Wan Xianyang's father, so it was natural for him to call Wan Xianyang by his name.
"Old Master Cheng is thinking about me."
Wan Xianyang noticed that Dong Yi's gaze swept over Shi Mengwan. He smiled. "Uncle Dong, this is my female companion, Shi Mengwan."
"Hello, Uncle Dong."
After greeting him, Wan Xianyang followed behind Dong Yi to congratulate Old Master Dong on his birthday. Although he came in a hurry, he had prepared a very sincere birthday gift.
"Old Master. Congratulations. " After giving the gift, Wan Xianyang had a faint smile on his face. "I wish Old Master good luck and longevity."
"You're too polite. Kid from the Wan family, I didn't expect Ah Yi to not lie to me. You're really in Lin City. "
"Yes, I have something to do. I heard that it's Old Master's birthday, so I shamelessly came over to ask for a drink. Old Master, please don't blame me. "
"Hahahaha, Ah Yi, look at this kid's mouth. It's exactly the same as his father back then."
"That's right."
"Old Master, don't tease me. When I came, my grandfather asked me to say hello to you. "
"Okay, okay, also say hello to your grandfather for me. Tell him to come to Lin City to play when he has time. I don't dare to say anything else here, but the air here is pretty good. "
"Okay, I'll definitely tell him. If there's a chance, let Grandfather come to Lin City."
After Wan Xianyang congratulated him, he introduced Shi Mengwan.
"Old Master, this is Shi Mengwan, my friend."
"Hello, Old Master." Shi Mengwan was quite generous. "I wish Old Master good health. May you live a long life. "
"Okay, okay." Old Master Dong smiled. He looked into the distance. "My girl is about the same age as your friend. Kid from the Wan family, take your friend to play. You don't have to accompany an old man like me here."
Wan Xianyang said a few polite words and was about to bring Shi Mengwan to the dining table at the side. There was a commotion at the door.
Shi Mengwan was taken a step back by Wan Xianyang. With this step back, she faced the entrance of the banquet hall. Naturally, she saw who the people who came in at the entrance were.
Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei.
Chen Feifei happened to be wearing that gown. It had to be said that she looked very good in this gown.
Chen Feifei's appearance was originally weak and pitiful. The light green made her look even more pure.
Zhan Haoze, who was beside her, was dressed in a black suit. He was mysterious and elegant. When the two of them walked in, many people's gazes turned towards them.
The two of them were quite famous in Lin City. Moreover, the news of Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze's engagement had spread.
Dong Yi went up to welcome them as usual. Before Shi Mengwan and Wan Xianyang could leave, Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze had already walked over.
Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze's gazes unexpectedly met in midair.
