The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife
Chapter 272: Embroidery Completed
Chapter 272
Qiao Wanzhou and Zhou Jing's affair was the talk of the town on the internet for quite some time before being suppressed by other news.
Rong Dai had been blissfully quiet these past few days, busying herself at home with embroidery and studies, her daily schedule well-planned.
In the evenings she would exchange messages with Huo Shao Ting on time. Even without getting a timely response from him, Rong Dai felt at ease in her heart.
On March 5th, all of her works were completed. The PPT made by Lu Nianzhi and her design drafts were also delivered to the TK side.
Now all that was left was to await notice and see who TK would choose for their debut show.
"If I hadn't seen with my own eyes you being 'closed off' at home every day, I really wouldn't have believed all this was made by you alone."
Lu Nianzhi had received Rong Dai's message early in the morning. She didn't even eat breakfast before rushing over.
The embroidery room Huo Shao Ting had prepared for Rong Dai was very large. The six outfits were neatly dressed on plastic models.
Seeing these exquisitely made clothes, even Lu Nianzhi couldn't believe her eyes.
She thought it would be very difficult for Rong Dai to complete these works in such a short period of time. But she didn't expect Rong Dai to finish them so quickly and so outstandingly.
The six competition outfits were extremely refined. And the embroidery techniques were more than one kind.
There were lucky cranes and clouds, the Four Gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and wealthy peonies.
The colors were vibrant yet not gaudy. And the embroidery skills were extremely superb, with no visible stitches.
"If there had been more time, it would have been even better to produce ten sets."
Rong Dai was very confident about her work.
"This is already great. If TK doesn't intend to continue cooperating with the Brocade Embroidery Workshop, I'm sure they'll choose you this time."
Lu Nianzhi had also been quite worried. After all, Rong Dai was only twenty-two years old. It was said that Shi Yue, the master of the Brocade Embroidery Workshop, only started to show some promise in her embroideries when she was nearly forty.
Although she had talked pleasantly with Ha Wei at the winery that day, she knew that the business flattery was just superficial etiquette that shouldn't be taken seriously.
Moreover, TK attached great importance to this debut show. So even though the Huo Group had given them such tremendous support, for the sake of TK's long-term interests, they wouldn't choose Rong Dai if her works weren't outstanding enough.
At best, they would give some kind of compensation afterwards, such as giving Rong Dai the opportunity to study at their headquarters.
That kind of compensation would still be very honorable. So TK wouldn't refuse this favor casually.
Besides, the Huo Group was involved in numerous industries, with fashion and jewelry just the tip of the iceberg.
Of course Huo Shao Ting understood that the opportunity for Rong Dai to study at TK's headquarters was precious. But Lu Nianzhi believed it was because Huo Shao Ting was very confident that Rong Dai could get first place.
Although after hearing what Ha Wei said that day, she had wondered where Huo Shao Ting got his confidence from. But now, seeing these finished products, she understood.
Such exquisite embroidery would impress even a layman like her, let alone TK's people?
As long as they weren't blind, they would know these were outstanding works.
Moreover, Rong Dai's designs were very creative, with outerwear, dresses, pants and more, covering it all.
It incorporated modern elements while showcasing the elegance and connotations of traditional Chinese clothing.
Such works would easily catch one's eye at first glance.
"I hope TK chooses me because of my work, not because I'm Mrs. Huo!"
Rong Dai said with a faint smile and some apprehension.
Because if the other party chose her work solely due to her status, it would be disrespectful to her and a denial of her skills.
Lu Nianzhi took off her gloves and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, TK won't be so foolish."
"They came to China's debut show to develop the market and win reputation."
"The audience has sharp eyes. If TK is so short-sighted, then not cooperating with such a brand would also be a sensible choice."
Rong Dai understood what she meant and nodded in agreement. Then she turned to take a cheongsam and give it to Lu Nianzhi.
"I see many people like wearing cheongsams, so I made one for you too. I don't know if it fits."
Lu Nianzhi was pleasantly surprised and looked at the cheongsam in astonishment. The workmanship was just as exquisite.
"You've worked hard these days too. And I didn't know what you'd like, so I could only make what I'm best at."
"Is this really for me?"
Lu Nianzhi was overjoyed.
Rong Dai nodded with a faint smile.
"This is your expertise. I trust your skills, so I'll accept it!" Lu Nianzhi said with a laugh as she took the cheongsam.
"It's rare you've finished work now. Let me take you out to relax. You haven't eaten well these days either."
"Since coming back to Shengjing, I haven't eaten well either. I really miss the old flavors here. How about going to eat copper hot pot?"
Lu Nianzhi asked her.
Rong Dai nodded. She had indeed been busy to death these days.
Going out to eat something delicious didn't sound bad. Lu Nianzhi was born and raised in Shengjing. She knew more places than Rong Dai did.
Moreover, Rong Dai hadn't gone to many places in Shengjing and hadn't toured around properly.
She then changed her clothes and went out with Lu Nianzhi.
When women go shopping, apart from eating, it's buying, buying, buying.
The two of them were no exception.
What's more, Lu Nianzhi had unique taste and knew many good places. Rong Dai loved these classical jewelry pieces, and the two kept shopping until noon.
They found a place to have lunch, then Lu Nianzhi took Rong Dai to a painting exhibition in the afternoon. Rong Dai couldn't help but buy some Chinese paintings. f๐e๐๐ฐ๐b๐o๐๐l.c๐ผm
"I haven't shopped so happily for a long time! I really didn't expect you to be just like me when shopping, buying whatever catches your eye.
"Not like the others who have to compare three shops, and still end up liking the first one in the end. In so many years you're the first person I've found who shares my shopping temperament!"
The two sat down in an old alley restaurant. Lu Nianzhi's face revealed a satisfied smile, extremely delighted to say this.
Rong Dai smiled faintly. Although she liked spicy food, the chili peppers in this restaurant were too authentic. With one bite her eyes were streaming from the spiciness!
"Whatever is loved at first sight must be what you like. Looking at the latter ones will inevitably lead to comparison.
"Even if there are good ones, subconsciously you'll still deny them. Might as well just buy it.
"Even if you encounter better ones later, just buy those too right? Why agonize over it?"
Lu Nianzhi gave her a big thumbs up, strongly agreeing with her shopping attitude.
"The flavor here is authentic..."
Recently Rong Dai had been busy with the embroidery works, so her meals were basically prepared by the nutritionist and delivered by Lu Nianzhi.
She would eat whatever the nutritionist made.
However, the nutritionist's meals emphasized balanced nutrition and the flavors were relatively light.
Meanwhile, Rong Dai liked heavy flavors. She loved the copper hot pot here. Once she started eating she couldn't stop.
