394 Stunning the Entire Scene
This was the Chu family’s first time hosting a banquet in the capital. Matriarch Chu had very high regard for this because this banquet would determine whether or not the Chu Family could enter the wealthy circle of the capital!
It was one thing for the Chu Family to have established a foothold, but whether they would be admitted and respected by others, was a different thing altogether.
If no one respected them, they would find it hard to make any moves in the capital.
For example, Shen Ruojing simply wanted to pick an article of clothing, but there was already so much trouble. Wasn’t this simply because they felt that the Chu Family was a new family that had yet to be accepted by the others in the circle?
The men in the four great families wouldn’t only marry women from the four great families. Some got married to wives with weaker backgrounds. But why did no brands dare to offend those wives?
It was simply because the Chu Family wasn’t strong enough!
Matriarch Chu felt extremely sullen the moment she thought that a daughter-in-law of the Chu Family had been scolded by a mere brand manager. She immediately spurred those in the kitchen on and was determined to make everyone look at the Chu Family in a new light at the banquet.
Everything from the food on the plates to the furnishing at home was exquisite.
In fact, Matriarch Chu even took out many things from her own collection.
The famous painting on the walls and the arrangement of furniture in each room were all carefully placed. The garden was pruned and artificial lakes were added. All these made it so the Chu Manor didn’t look inferior to the manors of the four great families!
The crucial point was that the Chu Family had only shifted here for two months. Hence, they had to hire many people to work at the same time before they could finish such a project within this short period.
One could feel the might of the Chu Family from whichever detail they looked at!
At this moment, Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan were applying makeup in a room.
The brand manager of Yafang personally came today and was responsible for all details of their makeup. They managed to rush out the qipaos on time. For some parts where embroidery was needed, they directly used finished products before making simple modifications.
After the two qipaos were worn, the manager made a request. “Madam Shen and Madam Bai, if it is possible, I can stay here tonight until the banquet ends. So, if any problems occur with the clothes during the banquet, I will be able to mend them for you in a timely manner.”
Actually, upon receiving the qipaos, the onus of maintaining the qipaos was on the individuals.
Shen Ruojing hadn’t expected that the manager would be so professional. She nodded. “Naturally, you can.”
After saying that, she spoke to a servant beside her, “Get the butler to prepare a seat for Manager Liu.”
There were extra seats in the banquet.
After all, no one could guarantee that everyone invited would surely turn up.
Hearing this, the brand manager immediately felt overwhelmed by the favor from a superior. “How am I worthy to join the banquet?”
This was the Chu Family’s banquet!
Bai Shanshan immediately spoke, “Since sis-in-law said you are worthy, it means you are! In addition, there are originally no distinctions between humans. Your brand ‘Yafang’ has to endure such great pressure due to us…So, how can you not be worthy?”
Shen Ruojing had also heard the news that Yafang was suppressed.
She looked at Manager Liu and suddenly asked, “Do you regret it?”
Manager Liu started slightly.
If she said she didn’t regret it, it would be a lie.
After all, CEO Chu didn’t force her back then. It was her own decision to do this.
But since things had come to this, Manager Liu felt relaxed now. “There is no medicine for regret in the world. However, the thing I feel gratified about is that both your figures and demeanors are simply too excellent! This can be considered the best effect that our brand can present before I retire from the fashion circle!”
Actually, Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan didn’t have figures belonging to those top celebrities.
Shen Ruojing was trained in martial arts and had muscles to support her figure. When she wore the purple qipao, her fair skin and icy demeanor instantly made the manager feel as though she just saw a beautiful killer.
As for Bai Shanshan, she used to be very fat and had given birth before. So, although she had slimmed down, she still had a huge rack and this matched the concept of her qipao very well. The white qipao made her exude the airs of a scholar and she was akin to a beautiful piece of jade!
The two women…one was cold and one was gentle, yet they both had transcendent auras, and their appearances could suppress the entire crowd. This was especially so for Shen Ruojing. Her appearance actually caused Manager Liu to sigh in admiration.
Everyone had thought that formal dresses would be more impactful in comparison. However, this point was proven false when Shen Ruojing wore this.
After wearing the qipao, she resembled a fairy from a painting just by standing there. She completely destroyed the impression qipaos would originally bring to everyone! Shen Ruojing was simply like a spokesperson for their brand, Yafang!
Manager Liu felt that even if this was her last banquet, it was worth it!
Even if Yafang went out of business, those who had seen Shen Ruojing before would definitely sigh in their hearts and know that ‘Yafang’ had existed before!
Bai Shanshan started after she heard this. “Retire from the fashion circle? Why?”
Manager Liu lowered her eyelids and smiled. “Nothing.”
All the sales orders of their company had been retracted, and some of their old customers were seen throwing the clothes or burning them.
So, their company wasn’t far from bankruptcy.
This banquet was probably the last chance Yafang could shine in radiance.
Shen Ruojing glanced at her and seemed to have understood something. She suddenly said, “Yafang will not go bankrupt.”
Hearing this, Manager Liu started slightly, but she didn’t think much about the sentence. “Hmm, madams, if you two don’t have any other requests, I’ll head downstairs first.”
“Sure.”
After Manager Liu left, Shen Ruojing headed down.
After all, she had yet to be married to Chu Cichen, so there was no need for her to go and welcome the guests at such a banquet. It was enough for Chu Cimo to bring Bai Shanshan to welcome people at the entrance.
As for Chu Cichen, he was only responsible for receiving important guests.
Once Shen Ruojing went down, her purple qipao and icy demeanor instantly made her the focal point of the entire crowd!
The guests who had arrived were all discussing it in private.
“That’s a qipao from Yafang? It’s pretty nice…”
“It is indeed nice, and I initially wanted to buy my clothes from them too. Sadly, they are affected by Shen Ruojing’s status. Right now, the brand image of Yafang is rotten in the capital. No matter how good a brand is, once it is deemed to be lowly, it will be very hard to remove the stigma people have of it…”
“What’s so sad about it? She is merely lucky. No matter how beautiful she looks, she cannot change her background.”
“That’s true. In any case, my mind keeps shouting the words ‘country bumpkin’ when I look at her…”
“The ‘Lada’ Brand is too unpleasant. She is actually quite beautiful and her demeanor is pretty good.”
“Who told her to offend Lada? Did she think she was someone from the four great families? Or is it because she is married into the Chu Family and feels that the fashion circle has to accept her? She basically doesn’t know that even if an empress wore sackcloth, people would still praise her for being beautiful. But if a wild goose wore a phoenix robe, the goose wouldn’t be able to transform into a phoenix no matter what.”
The person who said this cast another glance at Shen Ruojing and involuntarily added, “It’s a pity for Yafang!”
Although the group was discussing in low voices, their voices still circulated into the kitchen.
Bai Shanshan looked at them and an angry look appeared on her face. “How can someone so nice like sister-in-law be criticized by them?”
Chu Cimo also frowned.
At this moment, the butler’s voice rang out from the entrance. “The Shen Family is here!”
