Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 188 Returning South for Spring Festival (Chapter 11)

The coat was exquisite, with a pink base and a magnificent gold pattern, perfectly matching the aesthetic of a young girl like Xiaomeng. It's clear the designer put a lot of thought into it. Xiaomeng was very satisfied.

After admiring the clothes, Xiaomeng was about to drape them over the back of her work chair.

Manager Teng directed two security guards to carry an antique-style wooden clothes rack, also known as a dragon gate frame, into her office. "Wait, Xiaomeng, I'll get you a clothes rack. Hang your clothes on it carefully so you don't wrinkle them."

As they spoke, Manager Teng took the clothes from Xiaomeng's hands and, together with Xiaoping, carefully unfolded the clothes and hung them on the rack.

Xiao Tang wanted to lend a hand, but Manager Deng Teng stopped him, saying, "No need, no need, we can do it ourselves. Young Master, please don't do it."

After it was finished, Manager Teng stood to the side, arms crossed, admiring it.

"Oh my, this outfit is really nice, it's all made of real gold and silver. You're wearing this for Chinese New Year? That's truly auspicious and prosperous."

"Could I borrow your place at the museum for a month after the New Year? Haha, just kidding, just kidding."

"Sure, we can talk about it after the New Year." Xiaomeng agreed as she continued taking things out of the box.

"Really? Then I'll wait and see." Manager Teng rubbed his hands together.

It's rare to find someone willing to show off their valuables. Some people quietly buy custom-made silk high-end products and keep them hidden away, preventing many of their finest items from being displayed to the public.

Next, Xiaomeng took out a Suzhou embroidery auspicious cloud shoulder piece from the box. Each petal-shaped embroidered piece on the cloud shoulder piece was decorated with an auspicious pattern, such as lotus flowers, koi fish, bats, gourds, etc., with the main theme being good fortune and prosperity.

In addition to Suzhou embroidery, the cloud-shaped shoulder piece is also decorated with a circle of tiny millet beads along the edge, and the stamens of the flowers are also adorned with pearls the size of rice grains.

Xiaomeng spread the cloud-shaped shoulder piece flat on the table to admire it, just like admiring a blooming flower.

After admiring the cloud-shaped shoulder piece, she continued rummaging through the large box, pulling out two long jewelry boxes in one go.

The box contains a necklace with a cloud-shaped back and tassel made of tourmaline beads. The tourmaline beads used in the necklace are very clear and have a rich color, looking like colorful candies at first glance. The back is made of white crystal and jade beads, with a long red silk tassel trailing at the bottom. This is a decorative chain worn around the neck.

The other box contained a gold-engraved persimmon lion and auspicious ruyi leather belt, which was probably a belt worn around the waist.

Next was a small gold crown in a brocade box. It looked a bit plain. Xiaomeng looked at the instruction manual inside and realized that jewelry or velvet flowers were to be inserted on the small gold crown.

Goodness, it turns out this is just a base; you'll put things on it. If you're rich, you can put in more gold and silver hairpins; if you're poor, you can put in more flowers.

The last box contained a pair of cloud-patterned shoes with upturned toes. The entire shoe was embroidered with three-dimensional flowers, making it feel like standing in a flower garden when worn. To make the shoes even more lively, the opening was adorned with rice-grain-sized pearl tassels, and small pearls were also hung on the toes.

Xiaomeng sat down and tried them on; the shoes were exactly her size.

The designer, Xiong Da, really put in a lot of effort; he deserves to earn that money.

Manager Teng reminded her, "Teacher Xiong said the material list for this outfit has been sent to your email, with details and prices for each item. You can open it to see the details. You can go see him again after you return to Beijing after the holiday."

"Many of the embroidered pieces on the clothes we ordered this summer have been completed, and the finished products have already been sent to Teacher Xiong's studio. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll have them ready for the spring after one more fitting."

Xiaoping, being just a makeshift employee in the office, was also given a close look at the dress, but she didn't dare touch it at all. "Good heavens, how much work must have taken to make this? Is this fabric Yun brocade or Song brocade? Wow, the sleeves and hem are all Suzhou embroidery, and the flowers..."

When she saw the cloud-shaped shoulder ornament, she was speechless. Such an extremely exquisite and intricate work could not be imagined by those who had not seen the real thing.

Xiaoping glanced at Xiaomeng with a complicated expression. Having seen many fine things in museums, she fully understood the value of such craftsmanship and materials. Just the fabric and embroidery alone would cost over a million, not to mention the numerous pearls and gemstones inlaid on it.

Although there are many cultured pearls now, the price will inevitably be high for such a large quantity, considering the manual work involved in setting the beads and the weight of the pearls.
