Chapter 431: For Sale, Not For Rent
"So what time is it scheduled for tomorrow?"
Shen Lu agreed. After all, it was her family's good intention, and it would be pointless for her to refuse again and again.
"At nine in the morning, I will not only try on the dress, but also the makeup."
Fine.
After Shen Lu agreed, he hurried to bed.
When I woke up the next day, it was already eight o'clock.
Fortunately, there was still an hour left, so she picked out some easy-to-put-on-and-off clothes from her closet and went out.
Her aunt invited her to have breakfast in the restaurant.
The Sheng family’s breakfast was not as rich as those of wealthy families. Only a few dishes were prepared according to the host’s preferences, but each one was exquisite and delicious.
"Good morning, aunt."
Shen Lu greeted Fang Yun.
Fang Yun pushed a glass of milk over to him: "Try it, it's newly delivered from the ranch, and it tastes better than before."
Shen Lu knew that top wealthy families like the Sheng family had their own private ranches.
When it comes to imported food, the Sheng family always gives priority to food from their own farm.
If not, then find a way to produce it first.
Only when we cannot produce immediately will we look for channels to purchase them.
The Sheng family not only has farms in China, but also abroad.
Rich people never skimp on themselves.
Shen Lu is now a damn rich person, so of course she won't refuse to enjoy herself.
Shen Lu tasted the fresh milk and gave Fang Yun a thumbs up when she saw her gentle and loving gaze. "This tastes amazing, sweet and smooth."
"Drink more if you like." Fang Yun smiled comfortably.
"Qingyan told you, right? After breakfast, let's go out and choose dresses."
Shen Lu nodded: "I don't think it's necessary to be so grand, but my brother said that it's the first time to show up, so we should take it seriously."
Fang Yun nodded and handed her a peeled boiled egg. "How can it not be grand? Your grandfather has wanted to announce your existence to the public for a long time."
Mingzhu’s disappearance was a pain for her family, and Lulu’s return has healed much of this pain.
Thinking that his granddaughter was going to study in a top university, Mr. Sheng was afraid that she, an outsider, would be bullied, and he couldn't wait to support her.
The Sheng family understood the old man's idea and worked together to host this banquet.
After breakfast, Shen Lu followed Fang Yun to pick out a dress.
The dress looked okay, but Fang Yun was not satisfied no matter how she looked at it.
The store where she chose dresses was one she often worked with, but the girl was too pretty and none of the dresses looked as good on her.
Fang Yun hesitated for a moment and selected three sets.
One set is white, looking pure and flawless, one set is blue, dreamy and gorgeous, and the other set is purple, mysterious and noble.
All three sets of clothes suit Shen Lu very well, but they are just suitable and not particularly stunning.
"Lisa, keep these three sets for one day."
Fang Yun is friends with the owner of the studio and has ordered countless things here, so she will naturally be given preferential treatment here.
"I want the white one with pearls. I called you before and you said you still had it."
As soon as Shen Lu and Fang Yun went downstairs, they saw someone questioning them dissatisfiedly at the front desk.
It's white with pearls, and each pearl is put on by hand. Could it be the one she tried on?
"Sorry, Miss Hu, that dress is already being tried on by a customer."
The front desk explained patiently.
“Why didn’t anyone try it before, but now it’s available?”
Miss Hu was obviously not satisfied.
She fell in love with the dress at first sight because she was going to attend a dinner party with a big shot the day after tomorrow.
This dinner will give Ms. Hu the opportunity to meet some of the wealthiest people in high society, and she doesn’t want to miss it.
"Yes, the customer came before you. If they are sure they don't want that dress, they can bring it to you to try."
The attitude of the front desk was neither humble nor overbearing.
She had received countless noble ladies and celebrities, and this little star in the entertainment industry couldn't handle her at all.
"Has she finished trying on the dress? Has she decided on the dress? If not, go and ask her. I'm in a hurry!" Ms. Hu has work in the afternoon and can't be delayed.
The receptionist smiled and said, "The guests are still upstairs, we can't disturb them."
"If you are in a hurry, Ms. Hu, you can look at other dresses first, or you can wait patiently."
Hu Jingjing was extremely angry.
She dared to say that if a big star was here today, the front desk would definitely help to urge him.
That is why people like her, who are not famous and don't seem to have any background, will be ignored.
She just asked the front desk to urge them, but they were unwilling to do so.
This made Hu Jingjing even more unhappy.
Just wait and see, once she climbs up, these people’s faces will start to look better.
“That’s the one I like.”
In fact, her sponsor likes white.
The sponsor has a special liking for the color white. If Hu Jingjing wants to win his favor, she has to cater to his preferences.
"Then wait a minute."
The receptionist still has a stereotyped smile.
Hu Jingjing was furious.
Until Lisa sent Shen Lu and Fang Yun downstairs.
"Sister Lisa!" Hu Jingjing hurried over.
She knew Lisa because she was the image designer here.
She had spent money here twice before and thought she and Lisa got along well.
But Lisa couldn't recognize who she was.
But Lisa does everything perfectly.
She looked at Hu Jingjing with a smile: "Honey, wait a moment."
Lisa wanted to see off the distinguished guest, so Hu Jingjing was not so tactless.
"Okay, you get busy first."
Shen Lu had sharp ears and realized that this woman was the one who had said before that she wanted a white pearl dress.
The pearl dress is very beautiful and the beauty in front of me is also pleasing to the eye.
The white pearl dress really adds points to her.
However, my aunt has asked us to keep it for a day, so I'm afraid this young lady will be disappointed.
Sure enough, after Shen Lu and the others left, the front desk clerk told Lisa about Hu Jingjing's intentions.
From the receptionist, Lisa finally remembered who Hu Jingjing was.
A small star with many scandals, now between third and second tier.
She has works, but none of them are big hits, and the outside world is optimistic about her.
She said she just lacked an opportunity to be the heroine.
But in Lisa's opinion, this person is a little too eager for quick success.
People who are eager for quick success and instant benefits will not last long in the entertainment industry.
She receives too many noble ladies and celebrities, and people in the entertainment industry change so quickly, so please forgive her for not being able to remember them all sometimes.
"Ms. Hu, Xiao Wu said you want to try on that white pearl dress?"
"Yes, I liked this dress when I saw it in the studio before I came here, and I called to confirm it."
Hu Jingjing's tone was somewhat resentful.
She called and asked before coming here.
It turned out to be a step too late.
"I know, but in our studio, some special dresses are not available for reservation. For example, the one you like can only be sold, not rented."
"Dresses like this are usually first come first served, and only our super VIP customers can apply to reserve them."
Lisa explained it very clearly.
Hu Jingjing choked and her face turned a little red.
It was clear that she didn't know enough about the studio.
I didn’t even know that some dresses can only be sold.
"Then can I buy it?"
"Is the dress still there?" she said, trying to argue.
