Chapter 222 Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan go shopping together 1
Shen Wancheng changed the plan for the first show, turning the fashion show into a banquet, and she needed to let Li Su know immediately.
When Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing returned home that evening, Shen Wancheng called Li Su to explain the situation.
Shen Wancheng wanted to make the banquet an annual event, and only send out twenty invitations each year. After the company went international, the number would only increase to forty. As time went on, the threshold for this banquet would become higher and higher, so that being able to attend this banquet would be a symbol of status, just like the Paris Debutante Ceremony.
Although only wealthy people in Hong Kong Island, who are the target customers of Oriental Elegance, know about it now, that's enough. In the future, when we enter the Internet age and use online media, Shen Wancheng is still confident that he can make this banquet recognized by countries around the world.
The banquet was of a higher standard, and since only dresses from Dongfang Yasong could be worn there, it also subtly elevated Dongfang Yasong's status.
This year, being the first time the event has been held, inviters were allowed to choose ready-made gowns. In the future, preparations can begin two or three months in advance. All invitees will have their gowns specially customized for Oriental Elegance's galas, ensuring that the banquet will be exceptional and prestigious.
Although Shen Wancheng only came up with this plan tonight, she had carefully considered many details on her way home, and she told Li Su about them one by one when she called him.
The call lasted for more than half an hour, and Shen Wancheng hung up at around 9 p.m.
Gu Jinxing only came over to talk to Shen Wancheng after she hung up the phone. He and Shen Wancheng had reached a consensus that they would not usually get involved in each other's work unless the other party asked for their help.
Shen Wancheng really liked this way of getting along; it was intimate, yet they still had their own private space.
Wen Nan gave Shen Wancheng the list of those who were confirmed to attend the banquet in just three days. Moreover, fearing that Shen Wancheng might not recognize these people, she also noted their backgrounds, hobbies, and habits after their names, so that Shen Wancheng would have a general idea and be able to avoid any unexpected situations when preparing for the banquet.
This detailed list fully demonstrates that Wen Nan was sincerely helping Shen Wancheng, without any perfunctory attitude.
This touched Shen Wancheng deeply, and she specially arranged a day to invite Wen Nan out for shopping and dinner.
If this had happened a month ago, Shen Wancheng would never have imagined that she would take the initiative to invite her mother-in-law out for shopping and a meal. After all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always difficult to manage. Shen Wancheng used to think that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and that living peacefully and reducing unnecessary contact was the best state.
But even though Wen Nan has done so much for her, she's still acting all high and mighty, which means there's something wrong with Shen Wancheng.
Wen Nan used to be a rich heiress, and now she's a wealthy socialite, living a life of luxury. What does she want from being nice to Shen Wancheng? She just wants family harmony and to be closer to her daughter-in-law.
Therefore, all Shen Wancheng could do to thank Wen Nan was to take the initiative to show her affection.

Because of the near-car accident, Gu Jinxing wanted to hire new bodyguards for Shen Wancheng, but Shen Wancheng didn't want several bodyguards in black to follow her when she went out shopping, so she asked Kela to find two more female mercenaries to be her bodyguards.
So now when Shen Wancheng goes out, she uses two cars: one with a driver, Ke La in the passenger seat, and Shen Wancheng in the back; and the other with two new bodyguards driving themselves.
Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan made an appointment for this day, and Shen Wancheng went to the Gu Mansion early in the morning to pick up Wen Nan.
Now that she had arrived at the Gu residence, she naturally had to greet Gu Mingqian and have a chat first.
It was already 10 a.m. when Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan went out.
They first went to a shopping mall in Central, the same mall that Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing had visited together before.
Shen Wancheng was thinking that since she was thanking Wen Nan and inviting her to go shopping and have dinner together, she should naturally pay the bill. But given Wen Nan's personality, she would definitely insist on paying. Since Shen Wancheng had a VIP membership card in a store she was familiar with, the clerk would naturally choose to take Shen Wancheng's money when they saw the two of them. But if Shen Wancheng didn't have a VIP membership while Wen Nan did, the clerk would favor Wen Nan.
These are all small details, but Shen Wancheng is used to taking them all into account.
When Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan went shopping, they naturally went straight to the luxury brand stores.
The GUCCI store was closest to the elevator, and Shen Wancheng, arm in arm with Wen Nan, was the first to enter the GUCCI store.
Shen Wancheng said casually, "The last time Jinxing and I went shopping, this was also the first place we came to."
Wen Nan was quite surprised.
"You went shopping with Jinxing?"
Shen Wancheng didn't understand what Wen Nan was surprised about, and calmly nodded, "Yes."
Wen Nan's tone was a little sour, "I don't even have any recollection of shopping with that guy."
"I guess this is what happens when kids grow up and start having their own ideas. I need to take this as a lesson and dress them up like Barbie dolls while they're still young."
When Shen Wancheng mentioned the baby in her belly, she naturally shifted the focus of Wen Nan's conversation.
"Now that you say that, I'm even more looking forward to the arrival of your baby. You and Jinxing are both so good-looking, your children will definitely be celestial beings."
Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "That's for sure. Dad and Mom, you're both so good-looking that you're 100% sure you gave birth to someone like Jinxing."
Wen Nan laughed, "You really are a smart person, your compliments always hit the nail on the head."
"Good afternoon, ladies. How can I help you?" the shop assistant interjected.
Shen Wancheng smiled faintly at Qi and said, "Let's see for ourselves."
The sales assistant walked away but immediately came back, carrying a khaki trench coat.
"Madam, I think this would suit you very well, would you like to try it on?"
The sales assistant said this to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan repeated Shen Wancheng's words in refusal, "Let's see for ourselves."
Shen Wancheng, who was picking out clothes, paused and looked around at the sales assistants in the store, but did not find Liu Leqi's sales assistant.
I don't know if she just resigned or went to Oriental Elegance.
Shen Wancheng only gave Liu Leqi and Li Su's contact information, but did not deliberately mention the girl to Li Su.
Even if she finds Li Su, Li Su will understand Shen Wancheng's meaning and won't make special arrangements for her; he will let her start from an ordinary position.
Of course, Li Su knew that she was introduced to the job by Shen Wancheng, so he would definitely pay special attention to her. If she had the ability, she would naturally be more easily noticed and thus get promoted faster.
At the time, Shen Wancheng just felt that this girl made her feel comfortable as a sales assistant. She wasn't in a hurry to sell, but she was always responsive.
With this sales assistant as a comparison, Shen Wancheng felt that Li Leqi was quite outstanding.
In the short few minutes that Shen Wancheng was choosing clothes, the sales assistant had already shown several items of clothing to Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan.
A hint of impatience appeared on Wen Nanping's usually calm face.
Shen Wancheng simply hung the clothes she had just taken off back up.
"Mom, let's go to another store."
