Chapter 118
If he had not asked Rong Yang to bring things home, Qin Shu would have to get out of the car immediately with Rong Yang's mouth.
Qin Shu was so angry that he ignored him all the way.
Fortunately, Rong Yang is not a person who talks a lot. He has nothing to say all the way, and he is also quiet and leisurely. When he arrives at the ball door, Rong Yang gets off the car with a gentleman. The elegant gentleman opens the car door for Qin Shu. Qin Shu doesn't move, so Rong Yang has to bow slightly and stretch out a long and white hand into the car.
Well, Qin Shu's airs were not that big. Seeing Rong Yang's tactfulness, Qin Shu secretly pursed his lips and reached out his hand slowly, but when he was about to fall into Rong Yang's palm, it suddenly turned on Rong Yang's hand and got off the car by himself. As a result, the hand that hit the man was sank on Rong Yang's wrist and turned over, and naturally grabbed Qin Shu's soft and plain horns. Qin Shu failed to succeed, and snorted lightly, had to roll his eyes and get off with Rong Yang.
Rong Yang whispered to remind her, "The face of the celebrity world."
So, Qin Shu gave him a big eye for free. Rong Yang laughed softly. The man in the suit with a swallowtail standing on the steps was already smiling and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Rong."
Rong Yang shook hands with the visitor, "Why is Secretary-General Tian outside?"
"Mayor Han asked me to come and welcome Mr. Yingrong." Qin Shu was a little surprised that Secretary-General Tian was so attentive and polite. After all, the person who could be Secretary-General must be the mayor's confidant. No matter how rich Rong Yang is, he is also a businessman. Even if he has close ties with the Nanjing government, the mayor of Peking is a bit unusual. Qin Shu didn't understand the reason here, so he heard Secretary-General Tian's Miyu praise her, "This beautiful lady is really the glory of our dance."
Qin Shu's face was a look of reserve and proud, "You are so polite."
Secretary-General Tian personally led Rong Yang in, and Qin Shu discovered that this dance was not just from the government, but also from the military. Of course, they did not come here in military uniforms, but Qin Shu knew at a glance that the unique temperament of the soldiers was. Rong Yang could become the focus of the dance regardless of his identity. As soon as he entered the hall, he didn't know how many people were attracted. Rong Yang went directly to say hello to Mayor Han, and there was also a commander Miao who sat with Mayor Han.
Everyone had female companions around them. Qin Shu had elopement with scumbags when he first came to Peking. She knew Director Zheng, who was with her father in the political circle of Peking. Qin Shu didn’t know people like Mayor Han and Commander Lei. She remembered that the former Mayor of Peking was not named Han, and this one should have taken office later. However, Qin Shu knew the lady beside Commander Miao, who was Ms. Chen. Commander Miao also said in particular, “Aying is also from Shanghai, but she can talk to Mr. Rong.”
Rong Yang said with great slightness, "Ms. Chen and I are old acquaintances."
The waiter brought the coffee. Rong Yang saw that it was all black coffee, and added milk and sugar to Qin Shu. After he was well prepared, he handed it to Qin Shu. Then, he introduced Qin Shu to others, "This is the daughter of Director Qin's family in Shanghai."
So, everyone who had been basically neglecting Qin Shu gave her a look. Mrs. Han asked in particular, "When will Miss Qin arrive in Peiping?"
Qin Shu smiled politely, "I have been to Peking for some time and I am teaching in middle school now."
Mrs. Han smiled, "This is great. We should be so close to each other in the future. This is my Siwen, who is about the same age as Miss Qin." Introducing her daughter to Qin Shu. Qin Shu's eyes when she saw Miss Han would always stay on Rong Yang, thinking that in addition to having something to get close to Rong Yang, Mayor Han probably would not refuse the marriage with Rong Yang. However, Ms. Chen was particularly quiet tonight. She always liked to talk to Rong Yang and rarely talked.
However, Miss Han couldn't help but say, "Shanghai is more prosperous than Peking. How did Miss Qin come to Peking to teach?"
Qin Shu laughed, "To talk about Shanghai's prosperity is to talk about Shanghai's economy. But when it comes to cultural environment, Beijing is the leader in the whole country. Foreigners all call Peking a "Oriental Boston", and I also like it here."
When the dance party officially began, officials, rich kids and young ladies walked into the dance floor one after another.
Rong Yang didn't stay for too long. After dancing three dances, he took Qin Shu away. The demons who coveted Tang Monk's flesh could not even touch Rong Yang's hair. Qin Shu gloated on the way, "Mr. Rong is too reserved. At today's dance, at least half of the unmarried ladies came for you. You really don't understand the charm. At least sit for a while to feast your eyes."
Rong Yang did not quarrel with her, and said to Qin Shu, "What do you have? I will send it to my residence in Dongjiaomin Lane tomorrow. I will return to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."
Qin Shu nodded and asked him, "Did you see my parents in Shanghai? Are they in good health?"
"I thought you forgot this."
“I call home every month.”
"Director Qin is still the same. Your mother will always ask you when she sees me."
Qin Shu was full of confidence, "When you go back and see my mother, I will tell her that I will start a career soon. When my career is successful, I will return home in glory."
Rong Yang looked at Qin Shu for a long time, wondering if she had become hysterical when she went home too late. However, Qin Shu was full of energy and began to remove the jewelry, earrings, necklaces, rings, corsages, bracelets, and bracelets. They were all taken down and put in the jewelry box, and put them back in the fake one. Rong Yang said, "Save it for use."
"I don't need you to give it to me. When I have money, I can buy better ones and use my own money to buy them."
Rong Yang looked at her ungrateful look, and said, "No, I earn money to buy flowers and wear them myself, and I have good ambitions." Then he opened his eyes and sent Qin Shu to the gate of Wangfucang Hutong. He waited until Qin Shu asked to open his mouth and entered. Rong Yang did not even look at Qin Shu's fake jewelry all over, and then ordered the driver to drive home.
Chen Xuan and Wei Nian and his wife would read books very late. Qin Shu saw that the lights were on in the window, went over and knocked them, and said, "Second Sister-in-law, I'm back."
Chen Xuan replied in the room, "I understand, go to bed early."
Qin Shu went back to the house to rest.
Although Qin Shu lived in the south room, she was able to use water for her convenience. She had a special water tank in her room. When she got inside, the kang was already hot and the four thermosses were full.
Qin Shu couldn't help but feel warm.
When Wei Nian heard Qin Shu come back, he thought of something, "We should also give Mr. Rong some romance gifts on August Day."
Chen Xuan raised her head from the book, "I and A Yin are ready."
"Why don't I know what I have prepared?" Wei Yin asked.
Chen Xuan also kept it a secret, "I just got it to the store yesterday, so we ordered a box. Brother A Nian, you can take it to Mr. Rong tomorrow."
“What the hell is it?”
Unable to resist Wei Nian's constant questioning, Chen Xuan said, "It was the newly developed American finger oil in our factory. I discussed it with A Yin, and I also put it in a custom box to give Mr. Rong a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. This set of American finger oil can be launched."
Wei Nian said, "I have few people going to the factory, and they are making a very fast progress."
Chen Xuan said, "There is one more thing, how should we prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony for Mr. Wen, Professor Wu, Professor Chu, and Mr. Jiao?"
Wei Nian thought about it, "They are all literati. In this way, I bought some pastries from Daoxiangcun. A few days ago, I collected some old paper, but the amount was not large. I gave it to Mr. Wen, Professor Wu, and Professor Chu. Mr. Jiao, the shop of the old shop next to Wangfujing shop was no longer open, and even the shop brought the inventory to our house. I saw that the warehouse was clear a few days ago, and there were some good brocades inside. This thing is not enough to make clothes, but it is common to frame calligraphy and paintings. I took some brocade and put a few pastries. This one was considered Mr. Jiao."
The couple went to the couple together for the gifts.
The one who went first was Rong Yang. When Rong Yang saw that the cosmetics factory had improved the US Finger Oil, he smiled and said, "It's done well."
Chen Xuan said, "The sales of lipsticks have slowly opened up. US index oil can be sold with colors."
Rong Yang asked, "What do you want to do next?"
Chen Xuan said happily, "The US index oil is the final formula that was determined the day before yesterday, and it has not been confirmed yet. I discussed with A Yin that it is a kind of face washing thing, or soap or tooth powder. For tooth powder, most of the medicine shops control the sales and formula. Nowadays, many people use tooth powder to wash their faces, and the effect is very good."
Rong Yang asked Wei Nian, "A Nian, what do you mean?"
"There was soap in the Qing Dynasty. There are many people making it now, and the formula is not a secret. This is easy to make. The same is true for tooth powder, but tooth powder is not as common as soap. If we do it, it is best to make a brand new thing that others have never seen before, and is specially used for washing your face." Wei Nian thought for a while, "It's better to make a special thing for washing your face, called washing flour."
"This name doesn't sound good, it can be called a cleansing cream or a cleansing cream." Rong Yang said casually, "However, we should make some soap first. There are too few types of cosmetics in our brand. Soap is simple, so make some to sell first, and there is one more type."
Wei Nian expressed his understanding.
After a few words, Rong Yang received the call and wanted to go out, and the couple also said goodbye and left.
In the evening, Qin Shu delivered the Mid-Autumn Festival gift he prepared for his family to Rong Yang's house in Dongjiaomin Lane. Rong Yang was not at home, so Qin Shu put down his things and went back.
Then, this time when I gave Professor Chu's Mid-Autumn Festival gift, Chen Xuan had a new inspiration. Mrs. Chu had always been able to talk to Chen Xuan and Wei Yin. When Chen Xuan came over, she asked Wei Yin why there was no one to come. Chen Xuan said that Wei Yin was busy in the store, and saw Mrs. Chu even used a cotton swab to dip sesame oil to apply lips to the little Chu girl. Chen Xuan couldn't help but say, "The weather in Beijing is too dry."
"Yes, now that autumn is approaching, I will neither snow nor rain. My face is covered with skin. If I hadn't used the lard ointment from your store, I wouldn't know what would happen." Mrs. Chu applied her lips to her daughter, then asked her son to come in and apply it again, and said, "Just apply sesame oil, I will finish it in a while, and I will still have to apply it."
Chen Xuan went back to the store to talk about this with Wei Yin. Chen Xuan said, "Last time, the Cheng couple came over. Didn't Mrs. Cheng even say that Brother Cheng's mouth will get skinny when it comes to autumn and winter? I met Mrs. Chu's children, and the same is true. A Yin, we have seen it when we made some lipsticks. Let's ask Master Wu and Zhang to see if you can get some colorless lipsticks. That lipstick is oily and is always more convenient to use than toner of sesame oil."
Wei Yin thought about it and said that this is the case.
What the sister-in-law and sister-in-law did not expect was that what really made "Siqing" lipstick gain a foothold in the cosmetics industry in Beijing was the colorless lipstick they made accidentally.
