In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong
Chapter 293: Envy? Then be envious
Although she was in a complicated mood, it did not stop Fu Ziyan from preparing a gift for Bai Ying.
Upon learning that Bai Ying's textile factory was in urgent need of the latest automatic winding machine from Switzerland, Fu Ziyan waved her hand and instructed her assistant to order one and donate it to the Capital Textile Factory in Bai Ying's name.
The reason is very simple: out of mutual admiration for outstanding women.
In addition to Bai Ying, a female technician from a Shanghai textile factory also shared her experience on stage. This technician, perhaps more technically savvy than articulate, was also part of the mainland exchange team. Fu Ziyan treated her equally well and donated a new machine in her name, which her factory needed.
When Xue Yi learned that Fu Ziyan decided to donate the new machine because of her appreciation for outstanding women, he was so happy that he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
It's a very outrageous reason, but when applied to Fu Ziyan, it inexplicably seems very reasonable.
This Miss Fu has always been patriotic and has always spent money according to her mood.
As the leader of this exchange group, Xue Yi naturally had to express his gratitude to Fu Ziyan after accepting the machine: "Thank you Miss Fu for your donation..."
Facing Xue Yi's lengthy thank you speech, Fu Ziyan waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's a small matter. It's my contribution to the rise of women's power."
Xue Yi as a man: ...This is the first time I feel that girls are more popular!
The exchange meeting lasted three days. Fu Ziyan only visited Bai Ying on the first day, promising to give her a new machine. She didn't appear again for the next two days. After all, the situation in mainland China was still tense, so caution was advised.
When news of the donated new machines reached mainland leaders, they saw nothing wrong with it. After all, the Fu family had made numerous donations to mainland China over the years, and their patriotism was well known to the upper echelons. Since the donation was made in the name of two female textile factory workers, mainland China would naturally reward them, perhaps with a note in their files, potentially leading to salary increases, promotions, and various benefits.
This is also Fu Ziyan's purpose.
It was difficult for her to give Bai Ying any gift in public, so she decided to help her career advancement.
*
As soon as I returned to Taipingshan from the exchange meeting, Ah Hong handed me several invitations: "Miss, these are selected according to your habits."
Isabella's birthday party, Huo Yiran's birthday party, Po Leung Kuk charity dinner...
Fu Ziyan rubbed her brows. She had so many banquets to attend in August.
For most banquets, even if she received an invitation, she could just send her assistant to deliver a gift, and it would be fine as long as the gift arrived without the person attending. However, she had to attend some banquets and parties of close friends or dinners organized by well-known organizations in Hong Kong.
Fu Ziyan handed the invitation back to Ah Hong and said calmly, "I understand. Tell Xue Qi and the others the specific date so they can prepare the dress and makeup in advance."
"Yes. This morning the brand delivered a batch of custom-made jewelry. Miss, would you like to take a look?"
It was processed and produced so quickly?
Fu Ziyan was looking forward to it: "Let's take a look."
This batch of jewels was the gems she had selected when she took Willda to inspect the mines under her name during a few days of free time at the beginning of the year. Some of them were presented by her subordinates, and some were dug by her and Willda themselves. She selected the gems with good appearance and sent them to well-known jewelry studios and brand manufacturers for customization.
There is even a pair of couple's rings and cufflinks that Wilda designed with her.
There were quite a lot of jewels in this batch, and Ah Hong took out two jewelry display trays before putting them down.
Rubies, green jadeites, pink diamonds, black beads... jewelry styles of various cuts are listed on the tray. Each gem emits a unique light, reflecting each other to create a dreamy atmosphere.
Among them, the pair of green jade cufflinks retains the warm luster of traditional jade while integrating classical elements, cleverly combining jade with precious metals. They are extremely exquisite and luxurious and were specially customized by Fu Ziyan for Wilda.
Couple rings are designs that are the result of the interweaving of two people's ideas.
Fu Ziyan picked them up one by one and examined them. The radiance of these beautiful stones brought her into a good mood. She smiled and instructed Ah Hong, "Put all of these in the jewelry cabinet. Put these two rings and cufflinks in a separate brocade box. I'll take them with me when I go to England."
Wilda will be very happy when she receives this gift.
Thinking of his pair of emerald eyes that suddenly brightened up, Fu Ziyan's lips curled up slightly.
Just at this moment, Fu Ziyi came in.
As soon as I arrived, I was struck by the jewel-like brilliance of these two display trays.
He exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, are you going to give me a physical attack? You blinded me as soon as I walked in."
Fu Ziyan laughed: "This is a warning to everyone who comes to my house without bringing me a gift. Brother Yi, you understand~"
Fu Ziyi helplessly threw up his hands and admitted his mistake: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Next time I will definitely remember to bring a gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess. I just passed the Central Road intersection and saw a vendor selling some really good peaches, five yuan a pound. How about I bring these next time?"
Fu Ziyan exaggeratedly covered her mouth and started to sigh: "Oh my God, brother, you are so poor that you can only bring a five-dollar gift for your sister, oh my poor brother~"
Fu Ziyi didn't fight back, but followed Fu Ziyan's aria and played the victim: "Yeah, Yanyan, do you know how low the salary in the government department is? I can't even afford one of the trays of jewelry you just showed me with my monthly salary."
Fu Ziyi just graduated not long ago and is currently interning at the Department of Justice.
Miss Fu, the dramatic actress, did not finish her role-playing. As the aria continued, she said, "Oh my brother, you are so miserable. I am really worried about whether you can support yourself~"
Having been brothers and sisters for many years, Fu Ziyi was not one to give up easily. He sighed as if it were real: "That's right. When I got my salary last month, I was deeply worried about this! Sister, you don't know how high the prices in Hong Kong are now. For example, if I bought a pound of peaches, I wouldn't have anything to eat tonight."
Fu Ziyan covered her face and sighed.
The brother and sister sighed louder and louder. If they didn't know how wealthy the master's family was, and if they hadn't just seen Sister Hong carrying a tray full of jewelry, the servants who passed by and served tea would have thought that the Fu family was bankrupt.
Fu Qiyuan, who had just returned home from get off work, heard two dramatic children crying poor as soon as they entered the door. The sighs were deafening.
Fu Qiyuan was helpless for a moment, not knowing what Ti Ti was playing, so he just increased the volume of his footsteps to remind the little naughty girl inside.
Fu Ziyan's ears twitched, and she suddenly put down her hand that was covering her face and sighing, sat up straight, and resumed her usual tone: "Brother Yi, what did you come to see me for today?"
Fu Ziyi also quickly stopped sighing, as if the "poor relative comes to complain" scene they just played out had never happened, and talked about serious matters: "Sister should also attend the Po Leung Kuk charity dinner next week. I need a female companion, sister, can you accompany me?"
Fu Ziyi's future development path is to go into politics. From now on, he must actively participate in charity activities and establish a good image.
Fu Ziyan agreed immediately: "No problem, we will go together then!"
The main point was said in just two sentences. The brother and sister had just been lamenting and acting for more than ten minutes.
Fu Qiyuan looked at the two of them for a few seconds with a half-smile on his face as he entered the room. He made them feel guilty before he spoke, "How is Ah Yi doing at the Department of Justice?"
Fu Ziyi was still very serious when facing his second uncle: "I just joined the company, and I am currently dealing with relatively basic matters. However, because of the Fu family's background, the superiors and colleagues are all very friendly to me."
Fu Qiyuan nodded. It was he who suggested that his nephew Fu Ziyi go into politics.
Since the Fu family has taken root in Hong Kong, they must have their own people in the political arena. It was under the jurisdiction of the British Hong Kong government for the past few decades, but in another twenty years, Hong Kong will be returned to the motherland. He knows from the plot the future governance policy of Hong Kong and the selection method of the Chief Executive. It is just the right time for Fu Ziyi to start his political career.
With the Fu family around, as long as proper arrangements are made, we should be able to strive for the first term of Chief Executive, and even if that doesn't work out, we can still win the second term.
"Study hard and maintain good relationships with your colleagues and superiors. There is a saying in the mainland called 'lay a good mass foundation'. Ayi, you should pay attention to this." Fu Qiyuan didn't explain it in detail, but Fu Ziyi understood what his second uncle meant.
At present, the mainland and the UK have also had some discussions on the Hong Kong issue. Although the mainland's attitude last year was to "solve it slowly", from the attitude vaguely revealed by the second uncle, he knew that the second uncle was optimistic and believed that the mainland could solve the Hong Kong issue.
Fu Ziyi nodded: "I understand, uncle, don't worry."
After Fu Qiyuan finished talking to his nephew, he looked at his daughter who was sitting beside him obediently and asked, "Did Ti Ti go to the textile exchange meeting this morning?"
"Yeah," Fu Ziyan casually forked a piece of honeydew melon and handed it to her father. "I saw the mainland exchange group at Yuanxi Hotel yesterday. I knew there would be a lot of people coming to this exchange meeting, so I had nothing to do so I decided to join in the fun."
Fu Ziyan smiled with her eyebrows curved. "I just happened to meet two outstanding female workers from the mainland. I promised to send two new machines to the mainland textile factories."
Fu Qiyuan didn't care about these things: "Just have fun."
"I'm bored", "Just want to join in the fun"... Fu Ziyi, who was sitting on the side, was deeply jealous.
He works diligently every day and only has Sunday off, while his cousin... has nothing better to do than wander around and have fun!
The stark contrast made Fu Ziyi unable to hold back: "Hasn't Yan Yan been busy these past two months?"
I’m already a junior in the second half of my college life, and I’ll be graduating in two years. At 19, it’s the perfect time to make a breakthrough. How can I sit around doing nothing at this age?!
Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and glanced at her cousin. Don't think she doesn't know, that's the air of envy and jealousy~
"My birthday just passed, and this is the only time of year I have some free time. Brother Yi, don't be too envious. Wait until your birthday," Fu Ziyan paused, with a sweet and obedient smile on her lips, "You still don't get any free time!"
Her fair face was full of pride, and she looked like, "Are you envious? Then be envious."
Fu Ziyi covered his forehead with his hands. He knew that this bad sister was very bad!
Seeing her cousin looking defeated, Fu Ziyan felt relieved and her smile became even brighter.
As an elder, Fu Ziyi was also a visiting guest, so he didn't stop Ti Ti from joking and bickering with others. But after she won the bickering, Fu Qiyuan was sitting next to them, so he didn't want to let his daughter retaliate.
He smiled and interrupted his daughter's pursuit: "Titi, what are your thoughts after attending the exchange meeting?"
Fu Ziyan looked at her father, her eyes raised: "I do have some ideas, but it's not appropriate now."
From the exchange meeting, she saw that the mainland's textile industry was developing well, making it a good fit for sourcing raw materials such as cotton from the mainland, or for adopting the "Hong Kong Design + Mainland Manufacturing" approach. However, there was no rush yet; she had to wait until after the reform and opening-up policy was implemented.
When she read period novels in the past, she couldn't help but complain why the heroines always started out in the clothing industry. Now she understands that after the reform and opening up, investing in and operating the clothing industry is indeed a good choice of time, place and people - labor is cheap and easy to use, there is policy support, and the market is vast.
Fu Qiyuan nodded: "As long as Ti Ti has an idea, it won't be a wasted trip." As for his daughter's specific ideas, he didn't care.
Fu Ziyan cleared her throat and emphasized with a happy face: "I met a beautiful and outstanding girl, so this trip is not in vain."
Fu Qiyuan chuckled and agreed with his daughter: "Titi is right."
Fu Ziyi sat quietly sipping tea, accustomed to the way his second uncle and his cousin interacted. When Yanyan was little, back in the Shek O mansion, he'd even seen his second uncle coaxing his cousin into taking medicine. Who could have imagined that the dignified and reserved Fu Sheng, the head of the Fu family, would indulge his daughter to such an extreme?
Fu Qiyuan chatted with Titti for a while, and the topic returned to social, legal and current affairs.
"The Department of Justice has just drafted a bill regarding XX..."
"Because of the unclear issues in Hong Kong, the land auctions in the past two years..."
"..."
After chatting with his second uncle and cousin for a while, Fu Ziyi stood up and said goodbye.
He is now just an ordinary clerk in the Department of Justice, and he does not have the power like his cousin to decide when to go to work based on his mood.
He has to sign in at work at 8:30 a.m. every day, six days a week. Because of this, even if he attends a friend's party at night, he dare not stay out past 11 p.m., for fear of affecting his sleep and delaying work the next day.
Unlike the pitiful "office worker" Fu Ziyi, Fu Ziyan's nightlife is not restricted.
After having dinner with her father, she went back to her room to dress up again.
Put on the tulip pink diamond teardrop clavicle necklace that just arrived today!
Tassel hollow pink and white gradient skirt, starry sky watch, white shoes...
Finally, she put on her pink diamond-buckle handbag, and Fu Ziyan happily made a heart sign to herself in the floor-length mirror in the dressing room, then walked out of the room and down the stairs.
Fu Qiyuan, who was still reading the evening paper in the living room, knew that Ti Ti, dressed so elegantly, was going out to play tonight. He reminded his daughter, repeating the old saying, "Ti Ti, bring your bodyguards and be home before midnight."
Fu Ziyan walked briskly, her voice full of smiles: "I know, Dad! Bye~"
Fu Qiyuan shook his head helplessly, watching his daughter's back disappear from his sight, then he retracted his gaze and continued to read the newspaper.
