A wild boar in my mountain
Standing at the intersection of Hongzhaobi, Qing Yun always felt that there was a sense of time and space intersecting before her eyes.
Dressed in a white T-shirt, he put his hands in the pockets of his jeans and looked around.
The newly opened shopping mall behind it is called Meimeilicheng.
Dozens of the world's top brands, including GUCCI, Hermès, Tiffany&Co, Chloé, BOTTEGA VENETA, Chaumet, and Versace, have successively settled in Meimeilicheng since this year, and a large part of them are first stores and flagship stores in the Xishu area.
It was once the top high-end store in Jincheng and the favorite shopping mall for wealthy people in Jincheng. It went bankrupt in 2020.
The land directly opposite him was the site of the Yanlord Land Plaza later.
Before the opening of Taikoo Li and IFS, Yanlord Land was the tallest and most prestigious place in Xishu, and it was a landmark of world famous brands.
At this time, the land is being fenced off and awaiting demolition.
The old dormitory on his left would, 20 years later, be the Tonino Lamborghini Center, a top luxury apartment.
Twenty years have brought about earth-shaking changes for Jincheng.
He was used to seeing the prosperity of Taikoo Li and SKP, but when he looked at the magnificent Meili Cheng, he felt a little earthy for some reason.
Even the girls on the street seemed boring to him. He looked at them twice and then looked away.
On an early summer weekend afternoon, there were not many people passing by Hongzhaobi in the city center.
He is waiting for Qin Manman.
The two of them agreed that once every two weeks, on Saturday afternoons, they would not read or do any questions, they would not think about anything, they just got tired of being together.
It's better to combine work and rest.
And today, I agreed to go shopping with her.
It had already been 10 minutes, but he was not impatient.
It is normal for girls to be late.
It's only 10 minutes.
Hongzhaobi is only 1 kilometer away from Jincheng No. 4 Middle School, and he didn't show any pretense about picking her up or dropping her off. It only took about 10 minutes to walk there.
When he withdrew his eyes and concentrated on recalling the past here, the girls, young ladies, young women, and mature women coming and going were looking at him.
The handsome and sunny boy is a sight to behold wherever he goes, not to mention that he also has eye-catching attributes at this moment.
Qing Yun's outfit is actually very simple, but her clothes carry a sense of nobility.
In clothing fabrics, there is a parameter called count.
The higher the count, the finer the yarn, the finer and smoother the woven fabric will be, and the better the gloss.
The same white T, cotton yarn count 21 and cotton yarn 200, there is not only a difference in price, but also a difference in craftsmanship.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is nobility.
This is not surprising, his whole body is now prepared by Qin Manman.
During lunch some time ago, several tailors came in the car, took his measurements and left.
Without a brand, he can't even keep accounts.
Qin Manman was very proud of this.
So I started to change one thing today and another one tomorrow.
If you don’t change, cry to him.
If you eat too much soft food, you will get used to it.
After seeing Qing Yun give up resistance, she simply changed all his clothes and shoes.
Just for shoes, 7 pairs were prepared for him, and the same pair would be different every day and week.
This made several hulu babies in the dormitory express their envy and hatred, and blackmailed him into eating cold pot fish.
Thus, Qing Yun’s first reimbursement payment came about.
When he used the invoice to collect the money from Qin Manman, he actually felt happy.
After all, I was reimbursed an extra 20 yuan.
In the days when fixed-rate invoices were shredded by hand, men were all men, and the bosses were always very generous.
In the era of electronic invoices, such happiness no longer exists.
Just when he sighed as if the times were torn apart, the girl with a beautiful smile in front of him brought him back to reality.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Qing Yun smiled and shook his head, "I just got here too."
Qin Manman did not expose such a white lie, but smiled and held his arm and walked towards the mall.
In fact, she arrived just as Qing Yun arrived.
But after seeing what Qing Yun was wearing, she temporarily changed into a set of clothes in the car.
She carefully prepared a lot of clothes and put them in the nanny's car.
The daughter of a wealthy dog owner is so willful,
On the first date, of course you have to dress up as a couple!
She is quite satisfied with the combination of a white T-shirt and ripped jeans.
Whenever spring comes, many girls will put a lot of effort into their dressing style and wear a lot of fancy clothes, hoping to make their temperament better.
In fact, the simpler the clothing matching, the better it can show your personal temperament.
The matching of this outfit is very simple, but it can give people a variety of different temperaments at the same time. Not only does it look cute and cute, but the exposed knees also look very sexy. It is the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
Match.
Meimeilicheng and Qingyun have never been in. In fact, neither have most of the people in Jincheng.
This is a shopping mall specially opened for the rich. In the early days, it was not open to ordinary people at all.
After all, in 2003, when the annual per capita disposable income in Jincheng was less than 9,000 yuan, prices here were often priced in Dabulu, which was really jaw-dropping.
"Manman, long time no see!"
As soon as he entered the door, an urban beauty wearing a white suit greeted Qin Manman.
Qin Manman smiled slightly and said, "Sister Xiaoya, long time no see."
Turning around, she began to introduce gracefully, "This is Sister Xiaoya, my mother and I's exclusive shopping guide.
Sister Xiaoya, this is my boyfriend, Qing Yun."
Qing Yun smiled and nodded, saying that Miss Xiaoya was a mature woman of about 25 or 6 years old. She looked straight and straight, so she didn't shake hands.
The guy next to me is quite jealous sometimes.
Liu Ya was shocked. She could be taken by Qin Manman to visit the United States and Meili Cheng, and she could introduce her boyfriend's identity so solemnly. Is this the official announcement of the daughter of the Qin family?
But in her impression, there is no rich man with the surname "Qing" at all?
Seeing that Qing Yun didn't take the initiative to extend his hand, she didn't dare to offer a handshake, so she smiled and bowed slightly as a greeting.
"Manman, are you here for a casual stroll today, or are you?" Liu Ya greeted them with a smile as she took them in the elevator to the exclusive rest area on the top floor.
Shopping guide is nothing more than sales promotion.
But facing customers like Qin Manman, she wouldn't dare to sell anything casually. Asking clearly about her intentions and letting the customers make their own decisions is the best marketing plan for such customers.
"My mother said that the preliminary cutting of the dress has been completed. Let's try it on today." Qin Manman held Qing Yun's arm, feeling a little excited.
Liu Ya suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand! I didn't expect it to be your two dresses."
The dresses customized by the Qin family were for a man and a woman. She knew the woman's data very well and it belonged to Qin Manman.
There is nothing I can do. In Xishu, women with a height of 179cm are too rare.
The man's data was indeed unfamiliar. She thought it belonged to Qin Tianchuan.
After all, Qin Tianchuan has never customized a dress here.
Compared to brand customization, some people prefer the kind of private tailors in the alley.
This is the case for Qin Tianchuan.
Qing Yun was a little stunned when he heard this, but said nothing in front of Liu Ya.
"Mom gave you a coming-of-age gift. You will wear it on your coming-of-age ceremony."
After entering the lounge, Qin Manman quickly explained when Liu Ya went to pick up the dress.
Qing Yun nodded, with a smile on his face, "Thank you, mom."
Qin Manman was a little surprised, "Huh? It's a gift from my mother, why don't you refuse?"
"The elders gave it to me, so I don't dare to refuse."
He still understands this clearly.
When your girlfriend's parents give you something, it's recognition.
Qin Manman curled her lips. She thought it would take some effort to convince him.
"Hmph! As long as the gifts I give are branded, you have to keep accounts." She wrinkled her nose, "Let my mother give them to you from now on."
Qing Yun spread his hands, "You want us to go bankrupt, right? My mother always gives me things, and we are not allowed to return gifts?"
Qin Manman tugged at him angrily, saying that this guy meant to refuse to marry into his wife.
Only when the daughter comes home does the son-in-law need to return the gift.
It’s quite clear!
After a while, Liu Ya came in with several tailors carrying two sets of dresses.
Qin Manman's own dress is a white princess tutu, but the specific style cannot be seen.
Qing Yun's suit was a slim-fitting gray suit, but it was still made of pieces of fabric.
Seeing that Qing Yun was a little confused, Qin Manman took the initiative to explain, "Customized dresses may be tried on 1-2 times, and the first try on will be done before the whole suit is sewn.
Then the tailor will make changes based on the fitting situation. After the sewing is completed, the fitting will be tried again, and some final details will be trimmed, all in order to achieve the best fit and perfection."
"I see!"
Qing Yun suddenly realized that no wonder the suits of celebrities all looked so pressed and fit. When ordinary people buy a complete set, they will always be bigger here and smaller there.
Liu Ya, who was standing aside with a professional smile all the time, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, then quickly calmed it down.
Big news!
Qin Manman, the only daughter of the chairman of Houpu Group, a Fortune 500 company, found a poor boy who was a free-for-all!
It seems that he is still the master of soft food and hard food!
Liu Ya could clearly sense Qin Manman's petty behavior in front of Qing Yun.
It's very simple. In her past impression, Qin Manman has always been a princess, and that kind of pride is engraved in her bones.
Some people say thank you not because of their upbringing, but because of their pride.
But now, facing her bumpkin-like boyfriend, she is as gentle as water.
Liu Ya felt a little panicked.
Who should I gossip to?
The plastic sisters in the company?
After working in the workplace for so many years, if you still don’t understand the principle of “no friendship in the workplace”, then it’s all in vain.
I'm so confused, I can never tell this kind of thing.
If you tell your best friends, God knows if it will spread from the Penguin Group or the Tianya Forum.
Didn’t Cai Yilin on the other side become Linglin because of this?
After all the fabric was draped over the upper body and pinned, the tailor asked him to walk, sit, and squat in a cycle, while an apprentice was taking photos and videos.
The three or two female assistants around me had their eyes shining brightly.
This figure is amazing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of putting on the pins, they quietly touched Qing Yun's bronze skin under her white shirt.
It feels so good!
The daughter of the Qin family plays with something different!
It's such a pity that I couldn't leave a phone number.
"Hand out your hand, okay!"
"Take two steps and turn around, perfect!"
"No, no, the waist needs to be tightened by another two centimeters..."
"Hold your right hand and look in the direction of the camera. Hmm... tighten your left shoulder by one centimeter. His shoulders are wide enough."
…
This is too troublesome!
Qing Yun felt like he was being played like a monkey.
"The significance of their observation of customers' walking habits is to understand the specific conditions of each part of the customer in the most detailed way, including the different states of standing, sitting, squatting, and walking, and make special modifications when cutting."
Qin Manman next to him was familiar with the process. Although it was a complicated women's clothing, he was much faster than Qing Yun. He had already finished trying it on and stood beside him to patiently explain it to him.
Qing Yun was already numb and was being pulled like a puppet.
As for the way the people around you look at the idiots, what should you care about?
He is just a poor boy with only 300 yuan in his pocket.
Emm...300 yuan + 20 yuan private money.
If Qin Manman hadn't led him, he wouldn't even be able to get in through this door.
It's all for his own good, what else is there to say.
After finally trying on the dress, an hour had passed.
When Liu Ya sent them out, she watched them disappear from sight before turning around.
This is the rule.
But she was also staring at the bumpkin's back in a daze.
What a good life!
Why don't you have this life?
But that guy is really handsome and has a good figure.
The princess of the Qin family is really good at choosing men.
I just don’t know how much this guy can make this time.
Liu Ya's legs rubbed unconsciously under her skirt.
As for the word 'boyfriend' that Qin Manman said, she automatically filtered it.
What a joke!
It's just a temporary novelty.
The young man must be quite talented.
After coming out of Meili Cheng, Qing Yun was very puzzled, "Honey, didn't I say I would buy clothes with you today? Why didn't you go shopping?"
In Jincheng at this time, under the beautiful city is Wangfujing Department Store.
Although the price is not close to the people, compared with the former, it is definitely more than one grade different.
Qin Manman glanced at him deeply, then pouted, "If you don't go shopping anymore, you won't be happy."
Qing Yun blinked, feeling a little wronged, "How can I not be happy?"
"Don't lie to me, you're unhappy, I can feel it." Qin Manman pulled his collar with both hands and said softly.
In fact, she felt a little aggrieved at this moment.
She knows that most men don't like shopping.
But his doting on her made her think that he should be an exception.
Qing Yun helplessly held her in his arms. Qin Manman did not pretend to struggle and leaned on his shoulder.
"Brother, if you are unhappy, you have to tell me. You taught me that we want a straight-ball love."
Qing Yun buried his head in her shoulder and said helplessly, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little depressed and out of place in there.
And...Manman, I don't think it's time for me to wear such...such high-end clothes."
Children living at the bottom of the class are actually very good at observing words and emotions.
Therefore, the people around him had a somewhat contemptuous look in their eyes. Although it was very subtle, he could still clearly feel it.
Actually, none of this matters.
The important thing is that he did feel uncomfortable.
It's not that I feel inferior. Maybe I felt inferior in my previous life when I was going through all this, but not now.
He felt like a wild boar whose territory had been violated by a hunter. He had no choice but to retreat and retreat again, constantly shrinking his territory.
Qin Manman understood, and then she hugged his neck and laughed, "Brother, image is very important.
Just like that day under the ginkgo tree, if you hadn't gone to get a haircut or take a shower or change clothes, do you think I would have let the sloppy you from before hold me?"
Qing Yun snorted and scratched her delicate jade neck, "That's not up to you. I can hug her if I want."
Qin Manman rolled her eyes at him charmingly, "You have the toughest mouth in the whole body!"
If he really didn't care about his image, would he go get a haircut, take a shower and change clothes?
Qing Yun blinked and blew gently into her earlobe.
hehe!
"It's not like you haven't touched the hardest part before."
Qin Manman suddenly felt bad. He blushed and punched him, "Be serious! Otherwise I won't..."
She couldn't say what happened next.
Seeing that the stinky man was a little more honest, she continued, "'A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.' Business psychology research tells us that the influence and trust generated by communication between people come from language.
Three aspects: tone and image.
Their importance proportions are: language accounts for 7%; tone accounts for 38%; vision or image accounts for 55%, which shows the importance of image.
Clothing, as the first appearance in image creation, will become the focus of everyone's attention."
"What exactly is image? I just don't think it's too much trouble. Just dress neatly and cleanly."
Qing Yun was a little confused.
When he was a professor in his previous life, he really didn't care about his image.
Don't worry about it either.
Anyway, as a teacher, he has done his duty by giving lectures, correcting papers, and answering questions for his disciples.
As for whether students listen or not, it’s none of their business!
We are all adults and must be responsible for ourselves.
Do we need to dress up more handsomely so that female students can pay more attention to class?
I'm afraid, I will be even less attentive.
During the four years under Qin Tianchuan, he could not be said to be ignorant and wore sportswear every day.
Qin Manman bought the complete set of suits, and no one said he looked bad if he wore suits and leather shoes for a day.
He just felt that everything now was a bit too much.
Qin Manman sighed, with seriousness written all over his face, "Image is the combination of appearance and interior, leaving an impression in the flow.
It includes your clothing, words and deeds, behavior, cultivation, lifestyle, knowledge level, family background, where you live, what car you drive, who you make friends with, etc.
They are clearly defining you, telling your story silently and accurately, who you are, your social status, how you live, whether you have a future...
Therefore, image is an important rule of the game for career success. A successful appearance can contribute to the success of your career, but it can also destroy or hinder the smooth development of your career.
A successful image shows people confidence, dignity, strength, and ability. It is not only reflected in the visual effect on others, but it is also an external auxiliary tool.
Through your dress, smile, eye contact, handshake, and every move, you will exude the charm of a successful person! Let you get twice the result with half the effort in your career!"
Seeing that Qing Yun was already drawing circles with her eyes, Qin Manman snorted proudly.
I always feel like there is something missing.
Um!
Yes, shortcomings applause.
Seeing that she still had some unfinished thoughts, Qing Yun quickly interrupted her, "Come on, tell me, what did my dad wear when he started his business?"
There is one more chapter. I will add more when it comes to the big picture and plot.
Chapter completed!
