393 We Are Willing!
“Our brand is willing!”
Shen Ruojing turned her head abruptly and saw a Chinese brand that custom-made dresses stand out.
Their brand logo was a Yulan magnolia, and their brand name was Yafang. The dresses they brought included qipaos, modernized Han-style clothing, as well as classic-styled gowns.
After looking at Yafang, the pupils of Lada’s manager contracted. “Are you guys from Yafang crazy? You…”
Before she could finish her words, she was dragged out by the security guards!
Yafang’s manager was a 40-year-old lady. She walked up to Shen Ruojing and said with gentleness and grace, “Hello, Madam Shen. You’re a great standard for Eastern beauties, and your disposition also falls in with our brand’s ideologies. We would like to customize a gown for you. What do you think about it?”
Shen Ruojing nodded. “Sure.”
Yafang’s manager nodded.
At this moment, Bai Shanshan tossed the white gown she was holding to its brand representative. “I don’t want your gown anymore! I want to pick Yafang with my Sis-in-law! Does Yafang have dresses that are suitable for me?”
She was blaming the brand of the white gown for not speaking up for Shen Ruojing.
Yafang’s manager immediately said, “Yes, we do, Madam Bai. Can we discuss things with Madam Shen first before we move on to you?”
Yafang’s manager didn’t treat Shen Ruojing poorly because of Bai Shanshan’s identity.
Bai Shanshan nodded without hesitation. “That’s how it should be!”
Therefore, the other brands were sent off by the Chu Family.
Yafang’s manager only left the room respectfully after having discussed the plan for the gowns of Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan.
After leaving the room, she entered Chu Cichen’s study respectfully.
“CEO Chu.”
Yafang’s manager lowered her head and called out.
Yafang was Chu Cichen’s overseas business, and it didn’t belong to the Chu Family.
Back when Chu Cichen was overseas, he had participated in a fashion week, only to discover that there were too few brands from China. Therefore, he founded Yafang.
Hence, even if all the brands didn’t dare to sell gowns to Shen Ruojing, Yafang would still do it! This was because Shen Ruojing was their lady boss!
However, Yafang’s manager was feeling very uneasy at the moment.
Yafang had been founded for so long, and she rarely saw their boss. And now, she was called into his study. If the boss were to ask about things such as Yafang’s development, how would a mere manager know about these things?
Just as she was feeling at a loss, she suddenly heard Chu Cichen lowering his voice and asked, “Is Ruojing still angry?”
Yafang’s manager. “?”
She was stunned for a moment. “…I don’t think so. Lady Boss was very cooperative and even smiled at me.”
That meant that she was no longer angry.
Chu Cichen heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, asked, “Lady Boss?”
The heart of Yafang’s manager started beating very quickly again.
Did she say something wrong?
However, at the next moment, she heard her boss let out a soft chuckle and say, “This address isn’t bad.”
“…”
Yafang’s manager was then told to leave the room in perplexity. Even after she left the Chu Family, she still seemed to be a little out of it.
She quickly returned to Yafang’s shop in the capital.
However, she had just entered when the shop assistant ran over anxiously. “Manager, for some reason, seven to eight customers called in to say that they wanted to cancel their orders!”
Yafang’s manager was stunned for a moment but quickly understood something. She frowned and said, “Just go with what the contracts state. The gowns can be canceled, but we won’t return the deposit.”
“Yes.”
Almost at the same moment as she finished her sentence, the phone rang again. The shop assistant picked up the call. “Hello, this is Yafang Fashion…”
A voice rang out from the other side. “I want to cancel my order.”
The shop assistant was very polite. “May I ask for the reason?”
The woman on the line sneered. “Reason? Naturally, it’s because your brand isn’t fashionable enough!”
The shop assistant explained, “Yafang is a new up-and-coming fashion brand…”
“Don’t say anymore. Who asked you guys to customize a gown for a customer that’s rejected by Lada? This makes me feel that Yafang’s brand has been tainted, so I want to cancel my order!”
The shop assistant asked, “You’ve paid a 70% deposit. Do you not want the money either?”
“Of course… I don’t want to wear clothes from the same brand as country bumpkins and unfashionable people!”
After saying that, the person hung up the call.
Yafang’s manager pursed her lips.
At this moment, a commotion rang out from the door.
They turned their heads and saw Lada’s manager, who had gone to the Chu Manor today, entering their shop. Lada’s manager said very arrogantly, “Since Yafang is giving Lada no regard when you have just entered the fashion circle, we won’t give you any face either. I’ve told people that Shen Ruojing has been rejected by the fashion circle. Since you guys are trying to curry up to the Chu Family, then you’ll have to be ready to pay the price! From today on, your brand will have its name removed from the fashion circle! You don’t have to go to the autumn fashion display either! It’s because they’ll definitely not send you any invitation letter.”
Yafang’s manager said angrily, “You guys have gone too far!”
“You guys don’t look at the quality of customers and will customize gowns for anyone regardless of their background if they give you some money. That Shen Ruojing is a bumpkin! Her father is an unpopular celebrity, and her family is considered a mid-tier family. They are a far cry from being a wealthy family! Since you’ve chosen her, then you’ll have to receive our wrath!”
Yafang’s manager took a deep breath.
Before she could say anything, Lada’s manager smiled. “Of course, it’s not as if you guys can’t do anything to salvage the situation.”
Yafang’s manager was stunned. “What?”
Lada’s manager said, “Naturally, it is to pick a person in the capital with the most distinguished status to have them customize their clothes from you. With that, there might still be hope for you. Let me think about it. Who has the most distinguished status? Of course, it’s the number one family, the Shen Family. Then who is the most distinguished in the Shen Family? Old Master Shen doesn’t have any biological children, so it should be Miss Shen Jiayi, right? It’s such a pity. She seems to have just canceled her order with you!”
Yafang’s manager clenched her fists furiously.
Lada’s manager smiled. “I told you a solution. But of course, it’s up to you whether you can do it!”
After saying that, she left proudly.
After she left, all the shop assistants gathered next to the manager.
“Manager, what should we do now?”
One of them had their eyes turn red. “We’ve just entered the fashion circle and haven’t stabilized our standing yet. Why did we come into something like this? Manager, the efforts you put in the past few years have gone to waste!”
Yafang’s manager was someone with a goal.
She didn’t lack money and just wanted to let a brand from China enter the international market. She wanted to let qipaos and other ancient-style Chinese clothes establish a foothold in the fashion circle.
She had a great passion for this industry and thus had led Yafang to where it was today.
But now, everything was back to square one.
Yafang’s manager let out a heavy sigh.
There was no helping it. Shen Ruojing was their lady boss, so how could she not help her?
Looking at the few shop assistants, Yafang’s manager took a deep breath. “Regardless, let’s get the two gowns ready for the Chu Family. I believe that as long as we put in the effort, we’ll be able to take a leading stand in the fashion industry!”
Even if they were to lose, they could just start afresh!
However, one of the shop assistants couldn’t help but complain, “Why does this lady boss only know how to cause trouble for our boss? If she doesn’t come from a good background, then she shouldn’t be so meddlesome… Does she think that just anyone can get into the circle of the wealthy and distinguished ladies?”
Yafang’s manager quickly reproached, “Little Fang, mind what you say!”
Little Fang’s eyes turned red. “I just feel heartache for you…”
“That’s enough. The company belongs to the boss. Even if he wants to spam money and go bankrupt for lady boss, we’ll have to do it! Go on, everyone can go back to work!”
After the shop assistants left, the manager also let out a heavy sigh.
She walked up to the shop entrance and wiped their logo.
After they completed the two gowns, if there were still no turning points, Yafang would probably really have to go bankrupt…
She was already quite old and no longer had the time to start everything from scratch.
At this moment, the manager didn’t expect that the two sets of gowns they customized and her decision to stick up for their lady boss would bring an unexpected opportunity for Yafang.

A few days later, the Chu Family’s banquet started officially!
