Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 78
At night, the lights are on.

Ye Zijin was wearing a cheongsam that was remade from a national flag uniform, and hurried out after tidying up the pearl earrings and high-heeled shoes that she borrowed from Xinyu.

The moment he saw her walking out of the alley, Meng Haoxiang couldn't help being attracted.It was rare for him to see her wearing gorgeous clothes. This blue cheongsam was not only gorgeous, but also had a kind of royal dignity and nobility in it.Ye Zijin put on this cheongsam, which complemented her graceful figure and her skin like jade and snow.

Seeing Ye Zijin come out, Ah Cheng got out of the car immediately, and when she approached, he respectfully opened the rear door for her.

Seeing that Meng Haoxiang was also in the car, Ye Zijin leaned over to get on the car and deliberately moved to the side and sat further away.

Meng Haoxiang glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Did you make this dress yourself?"

Ye Zijin wondered, "Is there anything wrong?"

Meng Haoxiang propped his elbows on the edge of the car window, and said casually: "Of course." Then he took out a white box from his side, and said, "There is still a necklace missing."

Meng Haoxiang opened the box, and there was a pure white pearl necklace inlaid in the black velvet cloth. Each pearl was about the same size, round and plump, and shiny.Only then did Ye Zijin realize that this necklace coincided with the pearl earrings she was wearing tonight.

Meng Haoxiang took out the pearl necklace and moved closer to her, Ye Zijin couldn't help holding his breath.Seeing Meng Haoxiang raised his hand around her neck from the front, Ye Zijin felt that something slippery was hanging down to her chest.His face was so close to hers now that she could feel his warm breath.When Meng Haoxiang's hand touched her neck inadvertently, Ye Zijin's face felt a little hot, and his heart beat inexplicably.

Meng Haoxiang's body has a refreshing smell mixed with a faint smell of tobacco. He is still dressed in a neat black suit, outlining his solid physique and tough outline, but his lips are a little pale.

Helping Ye Zijin fasten the pearl necklace, Meng Haoxiang sat back in his seat and took a look, saying: "This is just right, don't pawn the necklace to pay off debts."

Ye Zijin heard Meng Haoxiang say that he was obsessed with money, and said a little displeased: "Boss Meng, don't worry, I will return it to you after the banquet."

Meng Haoxiang smiled and said, "You don't have to pay it back. This is your reward. The contract with the British foreign company has been signed. You are credited for it."

Ye Zijin touched the round pearls, just from the color and feel, she knew that this pearl necklace was worth a lot.Ye Zijin raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Haoxiang, and said, "Since it's my reward, why can't I decide whether to pawn it or sell it?"

Meng Haoxiang's tone suddenly became serious, "If you can't do it, you can't do it. From now on, you can pawn everything I give you to pay off your debts, and it won't count."

"Why?" Ye Zijin was puzzled for a moment.

Meng Haoxiang was unhappy, he went to pick out jewelry for her personally, but Ye Zijin didn't care at all. "There is no reason. If you insist on pawning it, then this stipulation will appear in the agreement, and as a punishment, I will increase the interest."

"You..." Ye Zijin was a little annoyed, Meng Haoxiang had already blocked the road and proposed these inexplicable new regulations before he said he would pawn the necklace.She felt more and more that Meng Haoxiang had a strange temper, like a hard and cold stone.

Ye Zijin knew that talking too much was useless, so she stopped talking and turned her face away to look out the window.Meng Haoxiang was secretly troubled, why he always couldn't let go of his airs in front of her, why the two of them always talked tit for tat and broke up... No wonder Qian Jiang often said that he didn't know how to make women happy.

Along the way, the car fell silent again, and the new driver concentrated on driving. Ah Cheng looked at the two who were angry with each other through the front-view mirror, and felt helpless and funny. His boss was really in trouble this time.

The car stopped in front of the Golden Gate Hotel, and the outside of the hotel was full of fragrant cars, and there was an endless stream of guests, men and women walked into the hotel in pairs.Ye Zijin walked in behind Meng Haoxiang, and the waiter in white uniform bowed respectfully and led the two of them.

Doors with carved patterns were opened, and the dazzling crystal chandeliers illuminated the room as bright as day, and the smooth floor could clearly illuminate the figure, and the gorgeous light was projected onto the floor, shining with dots of silver light, and every step was shining brightly. Hui, as if in an illusion.Ye Zijin came to this luxurious hotel for the first time, and thought that the furnishings in the imperial palace were already extremely luxurious, but this place is no less impressive.

Before entering the hall, Meng Haoxiang stopped suddenly, and Ye Zijin, who was absent-minded for a moment, almost bumped into him.Seeing him stop suddenly, he asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

Meng Haoxiang put one hand in his trouser pocket, and said with great interest: "You are both my interpreter and my female companion tonight. The etiquette for attending this kind of dinner party is that female companions should enter the venue with male companions on their arms."

Ye Zijin blushed, and peeped around and saw that the people who went in were also holding arms in pairs, but Ye Zijin always felt a little awkward if she had to hold Meng Haoxiang's arm.

Before she stretched out her hand, Meng Haoxiang put her hand on his arm impatiently, and said, "It won't do anything to you if you just put on a show, let's go."

Ye Zijin lowered her head, and let him lead her into the hall, and after a while, someone came up to say hello.

"Boss Meng, long time no see. When did you have such a beautiful female companion? You have added a lot to the Jinhua Hall by coming in." The man smiled while holding a wine glass. The woman beside him was dressed in black In her dance clothes, a shiny tulip-shaped diamond brooch was pinned to her chest, revealing a white shoulder, and she was looking at Ye Zijin with a smile.

"Young Master Huang was joking. Ms. Wen and you are a perfect match. I heard that Ms. Wen's new album is a hit again. Congratulations." Meng Haoxiang responded politely.

Ye Zijin was still wondering who this Miss Wen was just now. When Meng Haoxiang talked about the new album, she remembered the scandal reported by the lace news some time ago about the affair between Wenying, the queen of Paramount singer, and Huang Jiajun, one of the four sons of Shanghai Bund.It seems that these gossips are really not groundless, and the couple in front of them are really generous together.

Wen Yingdan slightly parted her lips, covered her mouth with a graceful smile, and gave Huang Jiajun an affectionate look, and said, "Boss Meng is too much, I'm just a little songstress from Paramount, how can I compare with that?" Ms. Feng has really found a good place to be on your neon dress stage, I heard that Young Master Feng has paid for her to make a movie."

Meng Haoxiang smiled lightly, and said: "Master Feng has always been in charge of the big stage. I don't often ask. If Ms. Wen wants to make a movie, I'm afraid it won't be our Baohui foreign company's sponsorship. Master Huang has already taken care of it for you." Body is ready."

Meng Haoxiang took a glass of red wine from the waiter's silver tray, and Ye Zijin also took the opportunity to grab a glass of champagne.Meng Haoxiang and Huang Jiajun toasted each other, and Ye Zijin also clinked glasses politely with Wenying in front of him.

Wenying looked at Ye Zijin, tsk-tsk praised: "This lady's cheongsam is so beautiful, I'm afraid that even Jinhong Tower can't make such exquisite and gorgeous clothes, what kind of clothes really match what kind of people, after seeing this The young lady knows what Boss Meng looks like."

Ye Zijin listened to what she said, and knew that the woman in front of her had not only a beautiful face, but also a delicate heart and a sweet mouth, which must have been practiced in places like singing and dancing halls.Ye Zijin knew that Wenying, Feng Qixia, and Wang Luqiu were called the Three Sisters of Paramount at first, and after Wang Luqiu was killed, there was news that Wenying was at odds with Feng Qixia.Now that Feng Qixia has been poached by the big stage of neon clothes, Wenying is left in Paramount with unlimited scenery.But just now Ye Zijin seemed aggrieved by what she said, and her words were somewhat aimed at Feng Qixia.

"If Ms. Wen likes cheongsams, I am more than happy to help. I am Ye Zijin from Shen Ji Tailor Shop. I made this cheongsam myself. Miss Wen is tall and graceful, so she is very suitable for wearing cheongsams." Ye Zijin smiled Er praised Wenying, but she didn't know where she got the courage to do small publicity in front of Meng Haoxiang.But she knew that the woman standing in front of her was a popular singer, her influence was extraordinary, she could do something for Shen Ji.

Wenying smiled, her peach blossom eyes were curved, she was very charming and charming, after hearing what Ye Zijin said, she also took advantage of the opportunity to show off Meng Haoxiang's face, and said: "Okay, I am worried that I can't find a good cheongsam master, Miss Ye It's really ingenious and ingenious, I will definitely visit the house some other day." Then he clinked glasses with Ye Zijin and took a sip of the red wine.

Huang Jiajun shook his head and said with a smile: "You women, you are excited when it comes to beautiful clothes, so let's make a toast to the two beautiful ladies together."

Huang Jiajun suggested that the four of them drank together again. After talking and laughing, Meng Haoxiang took Ye Zijin to another place.

The hall is full of fragrant clothes and temples, and the ethereal and long tunes of the Vatican and bells are like clouds floating in the air, or like the moonlight flowing over the willow branches.The guests chatted and laughed happily, drinking wine and raising wine, creating a scene of singing and dancing.Just looking at the guests attending the birthday banquet, one can know that Qiao Zhiqing has a wide network of contacts and strong financial resources, and has a certain prestige in the business and even political circles.

Ye Zijin held Meng Haoxiang's arm as he shuttled through the crowd, keeping a smile on his face.Although she found that many women looked at her differently, some were jealous, some were contemptuous and disdainful, but Ye Zijin pretended not to see her, and she had to behave appropriately.

"You're actually promoting Shen Ji here, don't overdo it, or you'll lose face." Meng Haoxiang smiled and nodded to the visitor, while whispering to Ye Zijin.

Ye Zijin smiled gently, and walked unhurriedly beside Meng Haoxiang, and said in a low voice, "I learned this from you, Boss Meng."

"You learn very quickly." Meng Haoxiang said, taking Ye Zijin to a corner of the hall, and said to Ye Zijin: "Later, you have to follow me to see Boss Qiao, the foreigner next to him is Dong Bai, the director of the French Concession. The other is Mr. Pierre, Consul General of France in Shanghai."

After Meng Haoxiang explained briefly, he brought Ye Zijin over. Ye Zijin saw the two foreigners talking happily with Qiao Zhiqing, and suddenly remembered that he was here tonight as an interpreter, but judging by the way they talked, there was no need for an interpreter at all, and the French She doesn't speak English either... Ye Zijin suddenly felt cheated.
