Chapter Four Cheongsam (1)

Sylvia took the business card handed over by Old Liu: "I will look for you, Brother Liu, and I will ask you to take care of me when the time comes."

Unexpectedly, I received an order today and it turned out to be a big customer. Lao Liu couldn't believe how wonderful it was.

"Okay, Miss Wei, if you need anything, just come to me. I promise to be there when you call me! Miss Wei, please go slowly!" Watching Sylvia enter the hotel, Old Liu whistled and continued with his schedule today.

Speaking of Sylvia, now that it is confirmed that it is Qingquan Village, she does not hang around anymore. Now she is just waiting for the auction to start, and only after the money arrives can she proceed with her next plan.

The auction was held as scheduled, and Sylvia entered the auction house with the invitation letter and money. After watching an auction, Sylvia was eye-opening. There were various antiques and various jewelry.

"That sapphire necklace was sold for 20 million, is my jadeite more expensive?" Seeing that the next item was hers, Sylvia sat up straighter.

In order to keep a low profile, she sat on the chair at the edge of the last row. There were thirty or forty people sitting in the auction house, all of them well-dressed. After several auctions, Sylvia looked back.

No matter which world it is in, such scenes are almost the same. On this occasion, the rich still spend a lot of money, and the poor stay away. Now she is also poor, with only three hundred yuan left in her pocket.

The auction was already halfway through. After the sapphire necklace was removed, the auctioneer smiled and said: "The next lot is the three-color jadeite of Fortune, Lushou and Shou that everyone has been waiting for. Please take a look!"

"This piece of jadeite is in an irregular rectangular shape. The outside is high-ice type, and the inside is close to glass. We specially asked a professional jewelry designer to estimate that this piece of jadeite can produce about five pairs of bracelets.

Some hanging ornaments..."

After the piece of jadeite was delivered, the CEOs of several jewelry companies quietly sat up straight. There were also ladies who stared at the piece of jadeite with burning eyes. Even if it is not made into jewelry, it looks good just like this.

ah.

It's just that such a large jadeite material cannot be bought by one person alone. Now it depends on those jewelry companies. They have always been rich and powerful, and I think they will have a good show now.

Sylvia leaned back in her chair and looked at the CEOs of the jewelry companies with blushing faces. The more they fought, the more money she got. What a good thing?

Until the end, this piece of jadeite was bought by Xiangsheng Jewelry for 300 million. Sylvia blinked and deducted the auction house's commission. Now she is rich?

This can be sold for 300 million, not counting the other emeralds in her box. Sylvia was a little silent, but she didn't expect that the stone that no one cares about in the Continent of Light would be worth a fortune here.

After the auction ended, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner. Sylvia also stood up. It was okay when she was sitting, because the location was relatively remote, and she deliberately avoided people, so few people paid attention to her.

But once she stood up, it seemed as if all the lights in the hall were focused on her. Looking at the beauty with strong facial features, her whole temperament was completely different.

Seeing that someone was going in her direction, Sylvia quickened her pace a little. She was not interested in developing any romance. Now she had more important things to do.

Taking the bank card handed over by the auction house manager, Sylvia smiled: "Thank you, Manager Liu."

Manager Liu: "You're welcome, Risheng Auction House welcomes Ms. Wei to visit us."

Sylvia suddenly raised her eyebrows: "I remember that the person who took the photo of the jadeite was also named Liu."

Manager Liu: "Yes, that's my cousin."

Sylvia understood. This meant that the wealth should not go to outsiders. No matter who bought this jade, she would benefit in the end. Thinking of this, Sylvia smiled and said: "I won't stay here any longer. I have other things to do."

Just leave first."

After coming out of the auction house, Sylvia instantly felt that her waist was thicker. She understood that it was money that gave her the confidence. No matter when, it would be difficult to move forward without money.

Now that she has money, her affairs should be put on the agenda, so Lao Liu started to be busy again. At that time, Lao Liu was preparing to place an order, and it happened that Sylvia called.

"Hello...Miss Wei? Are you going to Qingquan Village? Okay, where are you? I'll be there right away?" Old Liu smiled like a big chrysanthemum. How could he be unhappy? This Miss Wei took action

Very generous.

Two hours later, Sylvia sat in the Qingquan Village Committee Office and signed her name on the land contract. From the moment she signed, 0425 suddenly changed slightly.

Sylvia took a quick look and saw that there was another virtual screen next to the farmland in the system. The land on the screen was the land she had contracted, and it was now overgrown with weeds.

Sylvia didn't look much further. She had the land, but where would she live?

Lao Lu: "There is a house in the village that happens to be empty. No one has come back to live in it for several years. It is the house you saw last time at the end of the village, not far from the river."

"They want to rent this house out, but our place is so remote, how can anyone rent it?"

As he spoke, Lao Lu glanced at Sylvia's face. According to his understanding, since Miss Wei has contracted the land here, he will most likely live in the village, so having a house is very necessary.

.

Sylvia happened to be dozing off and brought up the pillow: "Okay, I'll take a look at the facilities inside. If I'm satisfied..."

She didn't say much about the rest, but everyone should know everything. Lao Lu and the secretary took Sylvia around that house. The overall structure of the house was good, not very old, and the furniture was all the same.

Everything is available.

When she saw that there was a garden outside, Sylvia pondered for a moment. "Captain, please help me make an appointment with the landlord. Let's talk face to face."

She cannot think about the homestead now, and she does not have a household registration in Qingquan Village. Even if she wants to settle down in Qingquan Village, she must work in agriculture for more than one year.

It still needs to be approved by the collective organization of Qingquan Village, so now she can only live temporarily. After living in Qingquan Village for a year, she will find a way to settle in Qingquan Village, and then see if any villagers in Qingquan Village are willing to transfer their homestead.

of.

Captain Lao Lu knew that Sylvia was happy, so he didn't hesitate: "Cunming lives in the town. I'll call him. He will definitely be able to come over tomorrow for the weekend."

Sylvia: "I'll leave it to the captain, I'll go back first. If anything happens, we'll contact you again?"

As soon as Sylvia left, Qingquan Village became completely lively. Mainly because it was really rare for a girl as young as her to come here to farm, so there shouldn't be too much discussion at the moment.

Old Liu smiled and said: "Miss Wei, what are your plans next? Will I take you back to the hotel?"

Sylvia: "Go back to the hotel first, Brother Liu. Will you pick me up at the hotel at eight o'clock tomorrow morning? I have been to Qingquan Village a lot in the past few days, and I plan to take the driver's license test. What procedures do I need to go through?

I don’t have that much time to go to a driving school, so I need Brother Liu to take care of me.”

Lao Liu: "You can go to the driving school to sign up, and I will do the rest? As for driving practice, we can practice in Qingquan Village."

He knows that Sylvia is not short of money, and he wants to make money, and now the two hit it off. What Sylvia needs is to be able to get a driver's license in the shortest time. As long as Sylvia is not a dead tree, Lao Liu can do it.

Guarantee that Sylvia will get what she wants within a month.

Now that she has money on hand, Sylvia doesn't feel wronged anymore. When she only had two thousand in her pocket, she could only drool at the dishes of Green Wild Food. This time she can go and feast.

But before she can feast her eyes on them, she needs to buy some outfits first. The dresses she collected before are not beautiful, but they are just different from this world.

While passing by a shopping mall, Sylvia smiled and said: "I'll get off the car here. Brother Liu, will you pick me up at the hotel tomorrow?"

Old Liu smiled and said: "Okay, see you Miss Wei."

Seeing Lao Liu's car drive away, Sylvia stroked her skirt and entered the commercial street behind her. She always knew how to treat herself better, and in such a carefree world, she had to take better care of herself.

Himself, otherwise who else would care about her?

Sylvia has heard people talk about this commercial street. She heard that there are many luxury brands here, but those are not her goals. She has never thought about luxury goods, as long as the clothes match her aesthetics.

It has only been a week since she got the mobile phone, and Sylvia has already followed many bloggers. From food and beauty bloggers to fashion bloggers, to singing and dancing bloggers, etc.

Looking at it this way, she has a general understanding of the current aesthetics of clothing, and also knows how to wear it without making mistakes. As for the clothes she wore before, it's not that they don't look good, but they are not suitable for this world after all.

Carrying that conspicuous "gem" bag while walking around the commercial street, Sylvia had a few more shopping bags in her hands. The main thing was that people could tell by looking at her bag that she was not short of money.

When she walked to a cheongsam shop, Sylvia suddenly stopped in her tracks. She liked bright and conspicuous colors, but the cheongsam hanging in the window caught her eye.

It was obviously a black-bottomed magnolia dress, and it wasn't really eye-catching, but Sylvia couldn't take her eyes away from this cheongsam. Slightly pursed her lips, Sylvia entered this cheongsam called

Hua Xiangrong’s cheongsam shop.

The cheongsam shop was very elegantly decorated. Compared with the several shops she had entered before, this one was undoubtedly more elegant, with a smell that had been accumulated over time. Incense was burning in the shop, and the smell was very quiet, as if time had stood still here.

Come down.

Sylvia didn't mince words: "Can I try on that cheongsam in the window?"

An aunt in her sixties behind the counter looked at Sylvia with a look that was almost critical. After looking at her like this, she smiled and said, "Of course, she has a very good temperament and is suitable for wearing a cheongsam."

The young man on the side wanted to say something, but she held him down. She walked out of the counter and Sylvia saw clearly that she was wearing a long cheongsam. The workmanship of the cheongsam was very exquisite.

, it also has exquisite embroidery on it.

The aunt's face cannot be said to be exquisite and beautiful, but her temperament is particularly gentle and soft. Sylvia cannot describe it, but this does not prevent her from appreciating the charm of this aunt.

Qin Yun carefully took down the black magnolia flower cheongsam from the display window, "It was just cleaned and ironed this afternoon. Where is the changing room?"

Sylvia curled her lips, put the shopping bags aside, and carried her small bag and the cheongsam into the dressing room. Sylvia entered the dressing room, and there were some whispers outside.

"Aunt Yun, that is your proud work. Didn't you say it is not for sale?"

Qin Yun chuckled; "If this cheongsam really finds its owner, it will be nothing if it is not for sale. That girl has a really good figure, and it suits the clothes in our store just right."

An old man who was working on a sewing machine also smiled: "Indeed, she is thick and slim, tall enough, and has a perfect face. Such beauty is rare in the world."

Qin Yun smiled: "The most important thing is that she looked at Yulan very fondly. I saw her standing outside the window for several minutes before coming in."

Store manager: "Who doesn't like magnolia? From the day the magnolia was hung up, people come and ask almost every day, Aunt Yun, you never let go..."

Listening to the slight discussion outside, Sylvia slowly changed into the magnolia cheongsam. After seeing herself in the mirror, she slightly raised her lips.

At that time, she was the only customer in the cheongsam shop. When Sylvia came out of the dressing room, everyone's eyes were focused on her. She hardly applied any makeup, her lips were red, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains.

Ruo Qiubo is like a beauty coming out of a classical painting.

This is a sleeveless cheongsam. The length is only a little below Sylvia’s knees. It has no complicated decorations. It is covered with large magnolia flowers, but it fits Sylvia perfectly.

All the advantages are displayed.

Qin Yun nodded: "Magnolia is really suitable for you. I'll give you a bun. This hairstyle doesn't match this dress."

Sylvia didn't refuse. Her eyes glanced at Liu Yun's hairpin, "Thank you then. Your hair style is very beautiful. Can I use this hairpin?"

Qin Yun smiled and took the wooden hairpin handed over by Sylvia: "The young girl has the look of a little girl, and she is guaranteed to be prettier than me. This hairpin is very beautiful, and there are gold stars on it."

Sylvia was proud that this hairpin was not ordinary, but did she take it from the tree in the center of the misty forest well? This tree can be said to be invulnerable, and it would take a lot of effort to take off even a few branches to make a hairpin.

It gave her so much strength.

After forcing Sylvia to sit down in front of the dressing table in the store, Liu Yun didn't know what she did. Within ten minutes, a classical beauty appeared in front of everyone.

The original store manager, Xiao Qin, quickly brought out a pair of round-top high heels: "When you wear a cheongsam, you must wear high heels. The pair you are wearing will chafe your feet. The high heels in our store will never chafe your feet."

Sylvia put on her shoes and took two steps. They were indeed more comfortable than the pair of shoes she had just worn. Thinking back to Qin Yun's walking posture just now, Sylvia walked around tentatively.
