"Zheyuan, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The cousin greeted them with a smile, then interrupted Shao Wanwan's worries.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know my name yet, do you? My name is Hu Qiuguo. I was born in autumn. My mother said that when I was born, the fruit in our yard was ripe, so I was named Qiuguo (Autumn Fruit). Sister-in-law, seeing is believing. You are even more beautiful than the models I hired. You are really too beautiful." Hu Qiuguo extended her hand and introduced herself earnestly.

Hu Qiuguo and Shao Wanwan had completely different ideas.

She is not very tall.

Slightly overweight.

He wore black-rimmed glasses, a gray turtleneck sweater, white corduroy trousers, and simple Birkenstocks.

She has the image of a very homebody.

She used to dress like this when she got off work and stayed at home.

It has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, but it's incredibly comfortable and relaxing.

Currently, the country's economy is in a period of rapid growth, and people have more money, so they yearn for Western-style weddings. Therefore, when Hu Qiuguo received the news of reform and opening up and the promotion of the market economy, she returned from Paris and opened this studio, which can be considered as going with the tide.

Shao Wanwan has always admired people with a good business sense, so she smiled and said to Hu Qiuguo, "The name is very nice, and the studio is decorated in a very fashionable way."

"Zheyuan, you've struck gold! Your wife is beautiful and has a sweet tongue," Hu Qiuguo said with a smile.

Jiang Zheyuan smiled slightly.

"Sister-in-law, your engagement banquet with Zheyuan is scheduled for the tenth day of the first lunar month. The time is a bit tight, so please come over to have your measurements taken first, and then choose the style and fabric. If I personally draw the pattern and supervise the work, we can finish it in time." Hu Qiuguo was very professional. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she got straight to the point.

Jiang Zheyuan nodded at Shao Wanwan.

Shao Wanwan followed Hu Qiuguo into the testing room. The measuring tape moved over her body, and Hu Qiuguo exclaimed with admiration after each measurement. When the final data came out, Hu Qiuguo said directly, "Sister-in-law, your measurements are better than many models. You are simply a natural beauty. It's such a pity that you're wearing such a loose sweater, hiding such a great figure. Sister-in-law, if... you're interested, I'd like to invite you to be my special guest model for my first solo wedding dress show in Shanghai, the closing model."

Shao Wanwan knew she had a great figure, so she kept it a secret.

The main reason is that her personality is different from the original owner's, so she really doesn't like those clothes that accentuate the figure but are too tight and suffocating, and she also doesn't like the gazes fixed on her.

So after she had some spare money, she put away all of the original owner's more eye-catching clothes and bought some clothes that she liked to wear.

Autumn is all about a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and white sneakers.

In winter, wear a down jacket or coat over a hooded sweatshirt.

Sometimes I'll find the original owner's winter dress and wear it, but only when there's something to do.

Therefore, Shao Wanwan subconsciously rejected the suggestion.

"Forget it! I don't really like people staring at me," Shao Wanwan said with some regret.

“Sister-in-law, the haute couture industry in Paris has developed to a certain level, while it’s just starting out in China. There are still many untapped areas. Once we start, we’ll definitely be pioneers. You just need to be the closing act. I need the gimmick of a beautiful woman, and then we’ll release a series of your styles to open up the market. Sister-in-law, if you’re willing, I’ll pay you a salary for each show and give you a share of the profits.” The moment Hu Qiuguo saw Shao Wanwan, the words “Venus of Inspiration” immediately popped into his head, because seeing her gave him a lot of inspiration.

Shao Wanwan has a beautiful figure but isn't skinny; she's curvaceous yet not overly seductive. She imagined how beautiful she would look in many high-quality and well-designed clothes.

That's why she came up with the idea of ​​inviting Shao Wanwan to join her.

Because it was so sudden, Hu Qiuguo wasn't sure if she would agree, but she still decided to give it a try. If she didn't agree now, she was prepared for a long battle.

Shao Wanwan is indeed a money-grubber.

But modeling was an industry she had never considered or even considered before.

She's got a science and engineering mindset; her greatest achievement from childhood to adulthood has been taking exams, which requires sitting on a bench. She has absolutely no talent for walking the runway.

Although it hurt a little, I still refused.

Seeing that Shao Wanwan firmly refused, Hu Qiuguo said persistently, "Sister-in-law, I will find someone to draw up a contract so you can see my sincerity. Then you can see how much money you can get for each event, and how much you can get for the high-end custom items related to you. Then you can decide whether to participate or not, okay?"

Since Hu Qiuguo has already put it this way, it would be a bit excessive for me to disagree.

So she nodded, which was taken as agreement to the proposal.

"Calling me 'sister-in-law' is too formal. Just call me Wanwan! My name is Shao Wanwan." Shao Wanwan felt a little embarrassed by being called "sister-in-law" so she couldn't help but speak up.

"It's not too late for the sun, a good name," Hu Qiuguo praised earnestly.

Then she continued, "Wanwan, your measurements are done. Now move over to our display shelf to choose fabrics and patterns!" Although Hu Qiuguo was very nervous, she had already taken up too much of Shao Wanwan's time, so she quickly caught up on the next steps.

Shao Wanwan ultimately chose a champagne-colored dress.

"I'll also cover the matching jewelry. I've reached preliminary cooperation agreements with high-end jewelry brands and can borrow jewelry that suits you." Hu Qiuguo originally hoped that she would choose a dress with a bolder color, but she did sense that Shao Wanwan's personality was relatively conservative, so she didn't say anything, only that she could borrow jewelry for her.

Shao Wanwan nodded.

Remembering something, she said, "Cousin, I need a ready-made dress, the kind for a banquet. Do you... do you have a ready-made dress in my size?"

She and Jiang Zheyuan wandered around the mall several times, but the dresses were either too flamboyant or too old-fashioned, and the sizes were not all available. The sales associate said that if they needed to order more stock, it would take at least ten days.

After trying for a long time, I didn't buy anything.

Upon hearing this, Hu Qiuguo immediately pulled Shao Wanwan to the clothing display area. "Several of these are your size. You can choose one. Two of them are my graduation projects. I haven't found a suitable person to wear them yet. It would be great if you could wear them."

Shao Wanwan had heard Jiang Zheyuan say that his cousin had gone abroad to study fashion design a long time ago, but they had barely spoken and were not familiar with each other.

Looking at Hu Qiuguo alone, Shao Wanwan really couldn't tell that she was related to Jiang Zheyuan by blood.

The Jiang family members, including Jiang Ranxin, are all tall and slender, and Jiang Zheyuan is especially good at not gaining weight, so she assumed that Hu Qiuguo would also be tall and slender, reserved, and aloof.

However, Hu Qiuguo's personality is completely different from Jiang Zheyuan's, who is introverted. Hu Qiuguo is cheerful, generous, and direct.

She speaks without an accent and doesn't like to add words to her conversations, but she's incredibly bright and always looks people in the eye, never looking away.

They stated their demands directly, without any internal conflict.
