Chapter 77 Buying a Dress
With the reassurance given by Yun Zijin, Wang Minli felt more confident when arranging the decorations.
First, put the expensive ones in the ladies' study room and the relatively cheap and non-fragile ones in the guest room or living room.
The Fu Lu Shou jadeite that Yun Zijin bought was selected as an ornament in Yun Zijin's study.
Just having decorations is not enough; Wang Minli also picked out two calligraphy and paintings for Yun Zijin to hang on the wall of the study.
Mr. Lu's birthday party is in two days, and Yun Zijin plans to shop for dresses or gifts.
Although suitable items were among the ones bought at yesterday's auction, Yun Zijin still wanted to prepare for both scenarios.
It just so happened that Su Mengyao was also worrying about dresses and gifts, so they made an appointment to go shopping together.
After experiencing the joy of having a driver drive, Yun Zijin no longer wanted to drive by herself.
Yesterday, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan was included in the system's luxury car gift package, and Yun Zijin immediately chose it.
She also saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom of the same model as Lu Yunque's, but Yun Zijin was afraid that people would misunderstand that Lu Yunque was giving the car to her, so she did not choose it.
Ling Er was driving, Ling Yi was sitting in the passenger seat, and Yun Zijin sat alone in the back seat.
Su Mengyao and Yun Zijin met at Jinsheng Shopping Mall.
Although Guangyuan Shopping Mall, where Su Mengyao lives, is also good, if you want to buy a dress, there are more choices in Jinsheng Shopping Mall.
Su Mengyao and Yun Zijin arrived almost at the same time. Seeing Yun Zijin change another car, Su Mengyao couldn't help but complain:
"As expected, the woman who could snatch the land from Mr. Lu must be rich."
It was a Phantom before, but a Cullinan replaced it in just a few days.
Although neither of these two cars is the most expensive Rolls-Royce model, the total cost is not cheap.
"You're talking like you don't have any money. Go away now."
Today is not the weekend, so there are fewer people in Jinsheng Shopping Mall.
Plus, when they arrived, they went straight to the dressing area, so the flow of people was even smaller.
Yun Zijin has recently become the most talked-about rich man in Jinsheng Shopping Mall. Su Mengyao is a frequent visitor to Jinsheng Shopping Mall; almost all the SAs here know her.
"Ms. Yun, Ms. Su! Welcome!"
"Pick out some dresses for us to attend our elders' birthday party."
Su Mengyao spoke with familiarity, obviously coming here often.
"Okay, please wait here for a moment."
sa invited the two to sit on the sofa nearby for guests to rest, then glanced at another, sat beside him, and left.
The SA, who was being looked at, soon came over with two cups of hot tea.
"You two, please have some tea."
"Thanks."
Su Mengyao just nodded coldly, and Yun Zijin thanked her.
Su Mengyao is not impolite, but she has been exposed to these things since childhood and habitually shows no emotion when facing these services.
Yun Zijin had only recently become rich and had not yet developed the habits of someone like Su Mengyao, who came from a wealthy family.
The SA, who had left, returned shortly afterward with a row of hangers containing several dresses.
"Ms. Yun, Ms. Su, this is the latest designer model in the store..."
sa introduced the design concept, materials, and dress cutting to Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao.
There was a lot of jargon in it, and Yun Zijin only half understood it, but this did not affect her aesthetic appreciation of the dress.
Although it was Mr. Lu's birthday party and she had to dress formally to show her importance, Yun Zijin didn't want to dress too exaggeratedly; otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her to walk.
The skirt is too big; it would be embarrassing if someone stepped on it.
The pieces SA brought had large skirts, and one person could occupy an area of two meters in diameter.
"Is there anything simpler? The skirt is too big, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for me to walk."
This isn't a red-carpet beauty contest in the entertainment industry; Yun Zijinzhi wants to make herself as comfortable as possible.
Su Mengyao liked it very much at first, but when she heard Yun Zijin say that, she imagined herself wearing a dress with a big skirt and walking in a crowded banquet hall and suddenly felt she was not worthy of it.
"Yes, yes! Let's look at some simple, elegant designs without big skirts."
Su Mengyao was glad she had made an appointment with Yun Zijin today; otherwise, if she had come alone, she would probably have had to choose one from the pile of big skirts.
A big skirt is beautiful, but it is also really inconvenient.
She also wanted to go to the dessert area to feast during the banquet, but in her big skirt, she couldn't even touch the desserts.
Faced with the two people's pickiness, SA showed no displeasure and agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll change it right away."
Sa left pushing the clothes rack and soon returned with a row of designed dresses.
Yun Zijin didn't want to attract attention, so she chose a one-shoulder white fishtail skirt.
However, to make the dress fit properly, SA measured Yun Zijin and asked the designer to change the size. Someone will deliver the dress to Xingyu Huafu tomorrow.
Su Mengyao became anxious when she saw Yun Zijin finished choosing so quickly.
"Zijin, please help me choose. I don't know which one is better.
Su Mengyao is a typical person with a choice phobia. She thinks this one looks good, but she also thinks that one has a better color...
Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons for hesitation.
"How about you imagine if there is any jewelry you would like to wear that day and match the dress according to the style of the jewelry?"
Yun Zijin couldn't make a direct decision for Su Mengyao. If her choice were unsuccessful, it would be difficult for her not to be blamed.
"Yes! My mom prepared a pink diamond necklace and earrings for me. Pink seems to go better with white.
No, you've already chosen white, and if our dresses are the same color, people will compare us."
Su Mengyao is self-aware. She can choose any color but cannot wear the same clothes or colors as Yun Zijin; otherwise, she will be the clown.
"What do you think of this one?"
Yun Zijin looked around and pointed at a pink strapless dress that was very light in color, almost white.
The skirt's hem is irregular, but it fits Su Mengyao's lively personality well.
Su Mengyao looked in the direction Yun Zijin pointed, and sure enough, she saw the pink and white tube-top dress with irregular hem on the mannequin in the corner, and her eyes lit up instantly!
"It's beautiful! Whose designer is this? Why didn't you recommend it to us?"
If you want to wear other clothes, you should at least know the dress's designer.
"This is the work of a new intern designer at our brand. This designer doesn't have many works; only three are in the store. Do you want me to show them all?"
Sa didn't expect Su Mengyao and Yun Zijin to be interested in the works of the brand's intern designers, but he didn't show any bad emotions.
Designers should be happy if customers like their work at first sight.
"Okay, bring them all here for me to see."
Su Mengyao felt like she had discovered a treasure designer. She could save a lot of money by buying clothes designed by this designer before she became famous!
Yun Zijin was also a little surprised. She didn't expect to be able to choose the work of a new designer just by pointing at it.
