Chapter 183: Them
Chapter 183: Them
Zhou Wang, accompanied by Chen Mei, returned to Eye of Spring auxiliary tower 7001. As expected, four people were already waiting in the outdoor garden.
Two Chinese people, two Waiguo people.
One of the Chinese people is Lin Dong, a Hermès sales representative whom Zhou Wang has met before. His English name is Lincoln. He is also the only male luxury sales representative Zhou Wang knows.
His position at Hermès is not just sales. In fact, Zhou Wang thinks it is more appropriate to call him a public relations manager. Moreover, his conversation and temperament are the best among salesmen Zhou Wang has ever seen.
Because Lin Dong was responsible for connecting the "work clothes" prepared by the system for Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian. Jiang Qingkui had already dealt with him. She told Zhou Wang the last time they chatted...
Lin Dong's sister is the assistant to the CEO of Hermès Greater China who is currently based in Shanghai.
With Hermès's uncomplicated direct management structure, although Lin Dong's sister was an assistant in name, her actual authority was already that of a senior executive. Zhou Wang understood this after hearing this.
In a sense, the Lin Dong in front of him can be regarded as the "second generation" who has been decentralized and experienced. It is estimated that he will rotate through all the grassroots positions, but the other party will inevitably move to a higher position in the future.
"Mr. Zhou, you are back!"
Seeing Zhou Wang, Lin Dong immediately came over enthusiastically and shook hands with Zhou Wang repeatedly.
Lin Dong originally only wanted to be friends with Zhou Wang because he valued his consumption potential. Until that day, his sister called him and mentioned Zhou Wang's name. I saw Zhou Wang's name on Hermès' internal list, so I called him...
In short, after all this, Zhou Wang's status in Lin Dong's heart has skyrocketed. Otherwise, Jiang Qingkui contacted him only the day before yesterday. In theory, he would not have been able to coordinate everything in two days.
Mr. Gabriel, a master of handmade suits from France, is a senior tailor with considerable status among Hermès.
Hermès has a total of more than 4,000 craftsmen, and he is definitely ranked among them.
As for Mr. Gabriel, he was still in Paris even the night before yesterday. He just took a flight of more than ten hours to arrive in Beidu yesterday, and then flew from Beidu to Mingcheng non-stop. He just landed at midnight yesterday...
"Mr.Gabriel, hello, hello..."
Zhou Wang originally thought that he might need a translator. After all, his spoken English was a bit poor. Unexpectedly, the master tailor spoke fluent Mandarin as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm very happy to see you, Scissors. You are such a talented person with a bland appearance!"
"Damn it, your Chinese is so bad?"
Zhou Wang was startled, "But I guess what you want to say is that you are handsome..."
"Mr. Gabri has been traveling frequently to China since more than ten years ago, and there are many clients he has served here. For this reason, Mr. Gabri specially learned Chinese."
Lin Dong explained with a smile.
"Yes, I like China very much. This is my second hometown."
Gabriel said with a smile. This sentence was very precise. It seems that he should say it often...
After the greetings, Lin Dong asked the assistant behind him to bring over two boxes.
"Mr. Zhou, based on the size information you left at Hermès and considering the occasion you need, I selected several sets of high-end ready-to-wear for you. You can rest assured that although they are ready-to-wear, they have only been used in one event. The spring fashion show has not yet been officially launched..."
"After the body measurer measures the data for you, Mr. Gabri will modify some details for you in the shortest possible time to ensure that they fit as well as possible..."
"With our Hermès pursuit of excellence, even a customized suit jacket requires at least 200 hours of hand sewing, so it is too late to completely customize it..."
"Do you think this plan is acceptable to you?"
After listening to Lin Dong's explanation, Zhou Wang was about to speak. At this time, as the elevator opened, another group of people came to the garden, accompanied by another property staff member.
There were four people in this group dressed in formal attire, but only one woman among them was Chinese, and the other three were also Waiguo people.
What surprised Zhou Wang was that the tailor from Hermès obviously knew one of the foreigners, and even said hello to him after being surprised.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Mina, the brand representative of Kiton. I am here today because the two sets of suits you ordered have been customized under our urgent work. It is just because some detailed data is missing, so I need to ask The body measurer will do it for you again..."
"Wait!"
Zhou Wang interrupted her doubtfully, "If my memory is correct, I don't seem to have ordered a suit from your house, right?"
"About this, maybe you will understand after reading this greeting card..."
Mina was not surprised, she just smiled and handed over a card with a butterfly tether.
Zhou Wang opened the card and saw a line of beautiful luminous handwriting:
"Happy Valentine's Day, my White Moonlight! (It's hard to control the time, it may be two days late)"
Ding Yi...
Even though there was no signature, Zhou Wang knew it clearly when he saw the three words "White Moonlight".
After the last showdown between Jiang Mo and Ding Yi, the contact between the two has become very rare, and they no longer communicate almost every day like they did during the previous period.
But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Zhou Wang is deliberately reducing his contact with Ding Yi.
After all, in his subconscious mind, he didn't think that Ding Yi would be willing to have any long-term development with him after knowing part of his "true identity"...
Not seeing Ding Yi's gift the day before yesterday, Zhou Wang thought the two had reached a tacit understanding and would be pure friends from now on.
It seems that I thought it was too simple.
"When did you place the order for these two sets of clothes?" Zhou Wang came back to his senses and asked.
"The order arrived in Italy sixteen days ago."
Mina answered quickly.
Half a month ago, it was almost the last time the two met, that is, at the Dianwang Club...
At that time, was Ding Yi already planning to give himself a Valentine's Day gift?
The key is that she really foresees what she needs and fully considers the upcoming Wuyou Night this month...
This kind of foresight cannot be matched by Zhou Wang at least...
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to choose Hermès semi-ready-made clothes at this moment, and he would have been invisibly swayed by the brand called Brioni.
"How much do these two outfits cost?"
Kiton's two sets of high-end suits were pushed directly up on movable hangers. Zhou Wang gently brushed his fingers over the two sets of formal suits that looked full of luxury and asked.
"The total price is 3.5 million yuan." Mina replied with an unchanged smile.
3.5 million...
Zhou Wang was slightly surprised again.
The average price per set is more than 1.7 million, which is quite outrageous even for haute couture.
Zhou Wang instantly realized that this brand, which he had never heard of, should be very impressive.
After talking to Mina again, Zhou Wang learned that the brand called Kiton was recognized by many as the "King of Men's Wear" in the customization circuit.
It is on the same level as Briony, who "refuses" to look around. They are both above the first line, but they are still ranked above Briony, or they are the leader with less controversy.
Wall Street financial tycoons, presidents of many countries, and the "second generation godfather" in the movie all wear this brand.
There are Kiton counters in some first- and second-tier cities in China, but because the ready-to-wear styles they sell are relatively old, their reputation is not well known.
From the complicated expression on Lin Dong's side, Zhou Wang knew that Mina was not bragging.
...
After an hour of tossing, Zhou Wang asked Chen Mei to send away the people from the two brands.
Measuring, communicating, confirming the details of the changes, and then choosing the style of buttons and ties, the process is pretty much the same.
Both of them are senior tailors who came from across the country and will work overnight after returning home. If nothing else happens, the finished garments can be delivered again the next day.
Zhou Wang didn't know how Ding Yi learned about his body data. It was probably all hidden in those seemingly daily exchanges. Mina said that the data they received was a 3D model, which shows that Ding Yi knew it. The level of care involved in this matter...
Because of this, Kiton's clothes fit surprisingly well, and there aren't many things that need to be changed.
Originally, with Kiton's haute couture dress, Zhou Wang no longer needed the semi-ready-made clothes provided by Hermès, but they had already called them to his door, so it seemed inappropriate to not want them all of a sudden...
Especially Mr. Gabri, who took nearly twenty hours of flying to get here...
So even though he was already very poor, Zhou Wang still swiped his card with tears in his eyes and bought two sets of high-end ready-to-wear.
Fortunately, it is customized based on ready-made clothes, so the combined price of the two sets of ready-made clothes is only 860,000, which is much cheaper than Kiton.
Zhou Wang, who returned to the living room, picked up his phone and scrolled down for a while before finding the chat box with Ding Yi.
The last time the two chatted was when news came out that Zhou Wang had won the honor of "Top Ten Outstanding Youths in Jingcheng". Ding Yi sent him a message of congratulations. Later, Zhou Wang replied with "Thank you", and Ding Yi sent him another message. Meme, and the conversation ends there.
The last time Ding Yi sent "Happy Valentine's Day", Zhou Wang forgot to reply because he was pestered by his senior sister...
Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment before typing:
"A gift I can't refuse, it's worthy of you..."
"Woman, you successfully caught my attention.jpg"
"I'm sorry I didn't prepare a gift for you. I'll make it up to you later."
...
"There's no need to send it off to me. The holidays are over, let's talk about it later... Hehe, on the day of your company's celebration, remember to amaze everyone!"
"A beautiful woman's affirmation.gif"
In Room 702, Building 2, Cuihu Yipin, after Ding Yi replied to Zhou Wang's message, he immediately put down his cell phone and smiled at Jiang Mo, who was still busy cutting fruit in the kitchen and shouted:
"Senior Sister Jiang, there's really no need to bother, I'll sit down for a while and then leave..."
Jiang Mo didn't reply. After a while, he came back with a plate of slightly messy fruit salad.
"I don't often do this...Junior sister Ding, just make do with it."
Jiang Mo said softly, a little embarrassed.
"No, I still look very appetizing~"
Ding Yi smiled, forked a piece of strawberry and put it into his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
When Jiang Mo saw this, a rare smile appeared on his cold and cold face.
"Senior sister, your apartment is pretty good. It's in such a good location and has a suitable size... Did Zhou Wang give it to you?"
Ding Yi stood up and looked around, then suddenly turned back and asked with a smile.
"Um."
Jiang Mo pursed his lips, "I didn't know when he bought it..."
"He's so kind to you."
Ding Yi turned her head again. Jiang Mo couldn't see her expression, but could only hear that her tone became a little erratic.
"Well, that's good."
Jiang Mo, who didn't know what to say, just nodded.
"Can I look around?"
Ding Yi said as he walked along the corridor.
Jiang Mo was about to nod subconsciously, but she didn't know what she thought of, but she was suddenly startled. She stood up in a panic and caught up with Ding Yi before she walked to the master bedroom.
"The lighting is pretty good, and senior sister, your decoration taste is also very good..."
Ding Yi didn't seem to notice Jiang Mo's nervousness. He just looked around and didn't open the door of the master bedroom. He quickly turned around and walked back to the living room. Only when Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, Ding Yi casually glanced at the closed door of the master bedroom, his eyes a little complicated.
Two women with the same top-notch looks but completely opposite temperaments sat down on the sofa again. Ding Yi looked at Jiang Mo with concern:
"Senior sister, the reason why I stopped by to see you is because I heard from Professor Wang that you don't want to continue your graduate studies?"
"Um..."
"Then what are you going to do in the future?"
"I...I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."
Jiang Mo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I just don't want to study law anymore. I'm too stupid and I can't speak..."
"It will be embarrassing if you are not good at communicating with people. Unless you are pursuing purely academic research, as long as you are a legal-related profession, you will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people..."
Ding Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Senior sister, I remember you told me before that your dream a long time ago was to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, right?"
"Well, it's not really a dream... At that time, I just thought it would be good to learn music. It would help me speak for me."
Jiang Mo nodded slightly.
"Then why not go now?"
Ding Yi chuckled.
"Now?"
Jiang Mo was obviously a little stunned, "But..."
"It's not too late now. You are only 24 years old, so you have enough time. Besides, you still have such a good foundation. If everything goes well, you can complete all the courses in one or two years..."
Ding Yi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the formalities, I can help you handle it."
Jiang Mo was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, "Forget it."
"Why?"
Ding Yi could tell that Jiang Mo had something on his mind, but for some reason she restrained herself.
"Too far..."
Jiang Mo just said softly.
The living room fell silent, and Ding Yi and Jiang Mo didn't speak again for a while.
I don't know how long it took, but Ding Yixi smiled and said: "Then you can also choose a school in China. The Huaxia Conservatory of Music is pretty good. I remember that the latest world ranking is very close to the top 50. I happen to know someone I know... ..."
"Would it be too much trouble?"
Jiang Mo showed obvious excitement this time.
"No, I'll ask you now."
Ding Yi blinked at Jiang Mo: "There may be a simple test. If it doesn't work, let Zhou Wang help you sponsor it. Anyway, he has a lot of money, so let's kill him hard..."
...
"Well, Yu Duo, I finally have a meager income, so you're going to kill me like this, right?"
Located on the edge of the Second Ring Road of Mingcheng, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Yue Center Apartment 3308, two young and beautiful girls were having fun.
Shen Yutong glanced at the takeout settlement interface that Yu Duo handed over. The amount of more than 300 made her eyelids jump, and she couldn't help but pinch Yu Duo's smooth waist exposed under the small suspender belt.
"Oh, Sister Tongtong, you have earned a huge sum of 6,000 yuan. What's wrong with this luxury? Don't you want to eat delicious spicy crab?"
Yu Duo lay on Shen Yutong's shoulders, her little hands couldn't help but want to grab Shen Yutong's big bear. After all, that perfect shape was not only greedy for boys...
Especially for Yu Duo, who has been average since she was a child, she is envious every time she sees it.
"I think... ok, ok, anyway, I live in your house for nothing, so I'll treat you to a nice meal!"
Shen Yutong swatted away Yu Duo's mischievous hand and endured the pain while paying, "But it's only this time."
"Stingy guy, I don't care anyway, I'm bankrupt now, you have to be responsible for my seven meals a day!"
Yu Duo chuckled and said, "Besides, you said you didn't have six thousand in the first place. The more you have is the money you picked up, so of course you have to spend it ruthlessly!"
"That's the truth, but I always feel that the money is a bit hot to get. After all, I only went there once, and it should only be one or two thousand..."
Shen Yutong said a little uneasily: "I even want to return this money."
Six thousand yuan is the part-time salary settled by Dianwang Club to Shen Yutong, but the fact is that she did dance once, so Shen Yutong's heart is not at ease...
"You idiot, how could you have such an idea?"
Yu Duo pulled her fingers and helped Shen Yutong analyze:
"Didn't you say that the boss of Dianwang Club is actually Zhou Wang? He is not a fool. Why should he pay you more salary? It must be because Zhou Wang specifically told him... You treat this as Zhou Wang's payment to you? Wouldn't it be nice to have a big red envelope?"
"But we are not relatives, so there is no need for him to send me red envelopes..."
"Are they really not relatives or friends?"
Yu Duo narrowed his eyes and approached her pretending to be serious, "Then why did you call Zhou Wang's name in your dream last night and ask, how far have you progressed? Have you ever kissed?"
"Ah, I probably didn't dream about him last night..."
Shen Yutong immediately blushed.
Yu Duo, who was just joking at first, suddenly became suspicious because Shen Yutong only answered her first question...
Yu Duo, who knew the other party extremely well, suddenly asked in shock: "You...you really kissed Zhou Wang?!"
Unable to hide away, Shen Yutong lowered his head shyly, and then nodded lightly.
"You... how could you do this? Zhou Wang is... Su Yajing's boyfriend!"
Yu Duo's mouth dropped, and her eyes became a little red.
"Well, although, there is no need for you to feel so wronged for Ran Ran, right?"
Shen Yutong was a little confused, because Yu Duo seemed to be really about to cry...
Yu Duo was about to reply when her phone rang "ding dong ding dong". She didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but because it kept ringing, she picked it up and took a look.
Immediately, Yu Duo was stunned.
"Duoduo, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Yu Duo was suddenly stunned, Shen Yutong poked her suspiciously.
Yu Duo turned her head blankly, her eyes seemed to be looking at Shen Yutong, but she seemed to have lost focus.
"My brother just transferred me five million..."
"Ah, then... isn't that a good thing?"
Shen Yutong was dizzy at first because of the number five million, and then asked in confusion: "Don't you happen to have no money, but why don't you seem very happy?"
"If it were fifty thousand, or even half a million, I would be very happy, but this is five million..."
Yu Duo murmured: "Although my brother is generous, it is impossible for him to give me so much money at once."
"Well, didn't you say that your family hasn't given you pocket money for a long time? What if this is just to make up for the previous one?"
Shen Yutong, who did not understand Yu Duo's thinking, could only guess this way.
"But my brother also hinted that I could go out more and have fun, and even go abroad... This clearly means that I won't go home recently."
As Yu Duo spoke, her eyes suddenly regained focus. She stood up suddenly and hurriedly got dressed.
"No, Tongtong, I have to go home. I...I'm a little panicked."
"Ah, you don't eat crabs anymore?"
"Don't eat..."
Yu Duo, who was putting on her shoes, suddenly stopped and turned her head with a strange expression.
"Tongtong..."
"Um?"
"I feel so sad all of a sudden... It's like, it's like being broken up in love..."
As Yu Duo spoke, tears fell down in a thin stream, crying extremely aggrieved.
Before Shen Yutong could react, Yu Duo had already opened the door and ran away without looking back. Shen Yutong stood up at a loss, but his face was also confused...
...
"Inexplicable..."
On the terrace on the 71st floor of Spring Eye, Zhou Wang, who had just finished lunch in the warm sunshine, glanced at his phone, feeling a little puzzled.
Little Yuduo: "Bad guy, big bad guy!"
This was the message Yu Duo sent half an hour ago. After Zhou Wang sent a few question marks, Yu Duo never replied to him again.
Is Xiao Yuduo's aunt here?
Based on these five words without beginning or end, Zhou Wang could only guess this.
Putting down his cell phone, Zhou Wang waved to Xu Wenqian and Miao Ying, who had been waiting aside.
"Mr. Zhou, I have driven the Mercedes-Benz AMG back and parked it in the garage. Here are the keys, license plate and car purchase contract."
Miao Ying first put a document bag on the table and reported to Zhou Wanghui.
"OK."
Zhou Wang put the document bag aside and planned to go back and deliver it to his senior sister in the car.
Then Xu Wenqian also stepped forward to confirm with Zhou Wang: "Boss, the air tickets have been booked. We will leave at noon the day after tomorrow. We are expected to arrive in Hangzhou at 4:30 pm. Sister Qingkui will pick us up."
"OK."
After Zhou Wang nodded, he waved to the two women, "Sit down."
Xu Wenqian and Miao Ying sat down as instructed, and Xu Wenqian took out two standard labor contracts.
There was a hint of excitement and nervousness on Miao Ying's face. Xu Wenqian had told her in advance that Zhou Wang had planned to make her a regular employee.
Although the treatment has been agreed before, it will be known now whether it can meet her expectations.
As for Zhou Wang... he was actually looking forward to it more than Miao Ying.
After all, he was too "poor", so Zhou Wang placed all his hopes for recovery on "Miao Ying's wish".
I just hope that she will be bolder and Zhou Wang will not ask for too much, just don't ask for less than Xu Wenqian's 10 million...
