1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After discussing the arms business, Mr. Hong was very satisfied. He smiled and said to Lu Chen:

"We have finished discussing our affairs. Now, Brother Lu, please tell us about your affairs."

Lu Chen was also very happy to have concluded a big deal. He said:

"My problem is actually a small matter. In fact, I don't need the help of the brothers from the Red Gate. I can do it myself."

Mr. Hong waved his hand and said:

"Brother Lu, just say it. Don't be polite with us."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "It's like this. My company is planning to hold a fashion show, and I want to find some women with good figures and good looks to be models for our company."

"Model" and "fashion show" gave the two elders a headache when they heard these two words. They had never heard of these things. Fortunately, Lu Chen said later that he wanted to find a woman with good looks and a good figure. This made them understand Lu Chen's purpose.

Elder Hong said:

"Brother Lu, you are looking for a woman. That's easy. I will immediately have someone send one to you, Brother Lu."

Lu Chen's face was filled with black lines. What kind of lewd words did this old man say? What did he mean by "I want to find a woman"? It sounded like a concert. Lu Chen quickly explained:

"Elder Hong, I'm talking about models, people who wear nice clothes and perform on stage, and I've found a lot of them."

Elder Hong said:

"Oh, so Brother Lu wants to find a prostitute. That's easy to do. I don't know how many you want to find, Brother Lu. I'll immediately ask someone to go to the brothel and get someone for you."

Lu Chen was a little speechless. He felt that there was a language barrier between him and Elder Hong. But he thought about it again. It was not impossible to let the prostitutes be models. Those prostitutes were trained in brothels since childhood. Their performance ability should be very good.

What he didn't expect was that there was actually a brothel in Chinatown. He said to Mr. Hong:

"I need a lot of people. I need at least 20 people."

Mr. Hong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lu Chen to need so many people. He thought for a moment and said:

"Although 20 people are a bit too many, we at Hongmen can still find them all. Brother Lu, please give us ten days. After ten days, I will send them to the factory for you."

Lu Chen quickly said: "Thank you so much, brothers from Hongmen."

After talking with the people from Red Gate, Lu Chen left Chinatown.

A few days after Lu Chen left Chinatown, Dior informed Lu Chen that Ms. Edith would be coming to New York soon and asked Lu Chen to prepare to pick her up at the dock.

On May 1931, 5, Lu Chen and Ike arrived at the dock early. Under the scorching sun, a cruise ship sailed into the New York Harbor.

Seeing the cruise ship coming into the port, Lu Chen immediately said to Ike:

"Take out the board."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Ike immediately picked up the board with "Edith" written on it from under his feet and raised it above his head.

Soon Lu Chen saw a tall woman with short hair, wearing a suit and sunglasses walking towards them.

The woman came over and looked at Lu Chen and the other person, then said to Lu Chen:

"You are Mr. Lu Chen."

Lu Chen nodded, then asked, "You are Ms. Edith."

Edith also nodded, then took off her sunglasses and said to Lu Chen:

"Then let's go."

Lu Chen took Edith to his car. Lu Chen asked:

"Miss Edith, should we go to your place first or to my company first?"

Edith said, "Let's go to the company first and take a look at the fabric that Mr. Dior mentioned, and then go back to our residence."

After hearing Edith's words, Ike immediately drove towards the company without Lu Chen's instructions.

As soon as they arrived at the company, Edith wanted to see the nylon fabric. Lu Chen had no choice but to ask someone to bring the nylon fabric produced by the textile factory.

Edith took the cloth, touched it with her hands, and then pulled it. Then she said happily:

"This fabric is really nice. Is this the kind of fabric stockings are made of?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Stockings are made directly from nylon threads. They are not made from this kind of cloth."

"I see." Edith said, holding the nylon cloth and began to think.

Seeing Edith holding the cloth without saying anything, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask:

"Miss Edith, are you confident in designing clothes with this fabric?"

Edith smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can design beautiful clothes no matter what kind of fabric I use."

After Edith finished speaking, she asked Lu Chen to give her a piece of cloth of various colors. Then Edith asked Lu Chen:

"Where is the accommodation you arranged for me?"

Lu Chen said, "In the city of New York, Miss Edith, are you going there now?"

Edith waved her hand and said, "The city center is too far away. Please find me a place nearby. It will be convenient for me to work."

Lu Chen quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

On the third day after Edith came to the company, she found Lu Chen with some design drawings.

"Mr. Lu, this is the dress I gave you. You have a tailor named Ba Er here, please ask him to make the dress and see how it turns out."

Lu Chen took a look at the design and found that they were all skirts for women, and some dresses. Lu Chen asked:

"Miss Edith, did you only design gowns and skirts?"

Edith nodded and said, "What's the problem?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Miss Edith, can you design some more casual and work wear clothes? After all, we are a clothing factory, and we mainly serve the middle and lower classes. These dresses and skirts have too few customers."

Edith thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about this. Well, I'll go back and design a few more."

After that, Edith left Lu Chen's office. Lu Chen thought about it and felt that it was not safe to rely on Edith alone, so he found a worker with artistic skills and described the jeans and denim jackets of the future to the worker, and asked him to draw pictures.

Then Lu Chen found a tailor and asked him to make jeans and denim jackets according to Edith's design.

When Edith came to Lu Chen again with the design drawings, Wu Xuance happened to come to Lu Chen's factory with more than 20 beautiful sisters.

Seeing Edith come in, Lu Chen quickly said to Edith:

"These are the models I found. Look at them wearing the clothes you designed."

After seeing these beauties, Edith was somewhat dissatisfied, and he asked directly:

"Mr. Lu, did you just find these people to be models? Didn't you invite some celebrities?"

Lu Chen said helplessly: "I'm so sorry, I don't know those stars."

Edith said quickly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I know some celebrities. I'll help you get in touch with them. You just need to prepare the money."

Lu Chen was very happy to hear that Edith could find a celebrity, but he looked at the beauties behind Wu Xuance. Since they were here, he couldn't just let them go back. Wouldn't that be disrespectful to Hongmen?

He asked Edith, "What about these people?"

Edith said coldly: "Forget about them. I don't have time to design clothes for them anymore."

With that, Edith left the room.

Lu Chen was a little dissatisfied with Edith's attitude. What do you mean by "no time"? You have designed so many things in the past few days. Don't you have time to make some clothes for these people?

Lu Chen thought, if you don't design, I will design it myself. So Lu Chen copied out Hanfu, cheongsam, Tang suits and other clothes. He planned to let these young ladies sent by Hongmen wear these clothes to open the eyes of these arrogant people. Let them see the beauty of oriental women.
