Chapter 84 Buying a dress for my daughter costing 38888.
For the next hour, He Fengchun analyzed Jiang Silu's design ideas and shared his experience.
Lu Fan didn't disturb them too much, but left the office to give them some space to study.
After Lu Fan left, Jiang Silu cautiously asked He Fengchun, "Teacher He, how many years has my father been working with and supporting your team?"
"It's been about five years," He Fengchun explained. "There are many ancient gardens and buildings in our country. If we were to restore them one by one, it would cost a considerable amount of money. However, the government's support for such ancient buildings is limited. As a representative of Jiangnan garden design, I naturally cannot stand by and watch our excellent culture be buried."
She continued to praise him: "Although I don't have much contact with your father, and most of the time I liaise with the project managers, he is very concerned about the maintenance of our ancient buildings. There are many rich people in this world, but there are probably very few who can do what your father has done."
After listening to He Fengchun's words, Jiang Silu suddenly understood.
Indeed, as Professor He said.
There are many rich people in this world.
She also knew that her father was rich.
While their exact wealth is unknown, there are not many people who are enthusiastic about public welfare and promoting and preserving traditional culture.
For Jiang Silu, whose profession happens to be related to her father's achievements, it is truly remarkable that her father could go to such lengths.
Not long after.
The office door opened.
He Fengchun led Jiang Silu out and then said to Lu Fan, "Silu has excellent design talent; she'll definitely have a bright future!"
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Teacher He," Lu Fan said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, he and Jiang Silu said goodbye to He Fengchun and the company's employees one by one, and then left the building.
After leaving the building, Jiang Silu stopped.
Lu Fan asked curiously, "Silu, what's wrong?"
Jiang Silu bowed formally and then explained, "Thank you for your support and restoration of our garden and ancient buildings."
"With great power comes great responsibility," Lu Fan said with a smile. "If you want to pursue this career in garden and ancient building restoration after you graduate, just tell your dad. I'll definitely support you."
Jiang Silu smiled knowingly after hearing this.
Clearly, she agreed.
Lu Fan saw that it was still early.
He then suggested, "By the way, how about I take you to buy some clothes and shoes?"
Jiang Silu didn't want Lu Fan to spend money, so she quickly shook her head: "No need, I have clothes to wear."
"It's alright, since you're already here, you must want to browse the clothing stores in Suzhou, right?" Lu Fan said with a smile.
Once the phrase "Since we're already here" is uttered, any Chinese person will change their mind.
As expected, Jiang Silu hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Alright then."
Lu Fan then looked at Jiali and told her to immediately find the most upscale clothing store in the city.
Soon, Jiali had Chen He lead them to the Meiluo Shopping Mall.
Suzhou's only high-end luxury department store is located here, where the Hermès boutique and Louis Vuitton Guanqian store are the most expensive clothing stores, along with other top luxury brand stores.
At first, Jiang Silu didn't know that Lu Fan was going to take her there.
After she got out of the car, she followed Lu Fan into the store.
Before going in, Lu Fan told Jiang Silu in advance, "If you like it, just buy it. Don't worry about the price."
"Really, it's not necessary..."
Jiang Silu felt that this kind of luxury clothing store was not suitable for her just by looking at this store.
She still prefers clothes that cost 39.9 yuan on Taobao.
Two sales representatives were already standing at the entrance, smiling and giving a slight bow, saying, "Hello, welcome!"
Jiang Silu could only enter the store with Lu Fan and the others.
The moment I entered the store, I was instantly squinted by the bright indoor lighting.
Unlike the incandescent lights in ordinary commercial street clothing stores, the lights here are warm gold, cascading down from the huge crystal chandelier overhead, reflecting shimmering light onto the smooth, mirror-like marble floor.
The walls are a soft off-white, and the ready-to-wear clothes are carefully displayed on walnut wood shelves, each piece like a work of art in a shop window.
Looking at these specifications and layout, Jiang Silu became even more certain that the clothes sold in this store must be very expensive!
What should I do? Should I tell Dad and we should leave?
The clothes here must be very expensive! They must cost several thousand yuan a piece, right?
No, no, even though Mom said before that she would accept it generously if Dad made it up to her.
But this store must be very expensive! No way, no way!
While Jiang Silu was lost in thought and struggling with her decision, her gaze fell on the pink dress in front of her.
The fabric was smooth and slippery, and the skirt had sparkling patterns on it; it looked beautiful.
Perhaps it was because girls love beauty, but on a whim, she reached out and touched it.
The soft, squishy texture startled her.
This fabric is so soft!
Then, she subconsciously looked down at the price tag on her neckline.
First, I blinked, thinking I was seeing things, then I leaned closer to take a look.
38888? !
Jiang Silu hissed and gasped, pulling her hand back as if she had been burned.
My heart was pounding, and my face flushed bright red.
38888! !! !!
"Silu likes this, right?" Lu Fan's voice suddenly rang out from the side.
Jiang Silu shuddered in fright, quickly shaking her head, her voice trembling, "No...I don't like it!"
She even took two steps back, not daring to look at the dress anymore.
He gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his fingertips turning white from the effort.
This is way too expensive! Is the world of the rich really this scary?
Lu Fan glanced at the dress, then at Jiang Silu's reaction, and said to the shop assistant with a smile, "Try this one on."
"Okay, no problem, sir." The sales clerk glanced at Jiang Silu's figure and then promptly took out the appropriate size.
Then she walked up to Jiang Silu and said softly, "Little sister, why don't we go into the fitting room and try this on? This dress actually suits you very well. The fabric is very soft and gentle on the skin, especially suitable for your skin type. If you really don't like it after trying it on, we can exchange it."
Jiang Silu originally wanted to refuse, but because the sales clerk kept patiently persuading her, she could only blush and nod.
She was very careful when changing her clothes, afraid that she might accidentally ruin the dress.
She might not be able to pay back the money even if she works here for a year.
Why are there such expensive clothes in this world...?
Who exactly is buying this...?
I don't understand the mindset of wealthy people...
With these questions in mind, Jiang Silu finally changed into the dress.
A short while later, the fitting room door clicked open, and Jiang Silu walked out hesitantly, her head bowed low and her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her skirt.
But when she came out, everyone's eyes immediately froze.
The light pink silk dress hugged her slender figure perfectly, neither too loose nor too tight, outlining the unique slim waistline of a young girl without appearing contrived.
The skirt draped naturally, swaying gently with her steps. The delicate pearl-colored patterns on it shimmered softly under the warm light, as if tiny starlight had been sewn onto the hem of the skirt.
The few small rhinestones on her neckline were understated, yet they shimmered subtly when she turned her head, making her neck appear slender and white, like a freshly peeled bamboo shoot.
The sales clerk couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes filled with amazement: "Young lady, this dress suits you so perfectly! It's like it was tailor-made for you!"
Lu Fan looked at Jiang Silu's outfit and said, "It is indeed very beautiful." He found it to be very pretty and well-fitting.
Jiang Silu felt uncomfortable being stared at. She secretly glanced at the mirror and froze instantly.
The girl in the mirror had curved eyebrows and slightly flushed cheeks. Her pink dress made her look like a completely different person, like a carefully pampered little princess.
She seemed to understand why wealthy people were willing to buy such expensive clothes...
Once she came to her senses, Jiang Silu suddenly realized her flushed cheeks, so she quickly lowered her head and whispered, "This dress is too... too eye-catching... never mind."
As she spoke, she went back into the fitting room, changed out of the dress she was wearing, and intended to return it to the shop assistant.
But when Jiang Silu appeared, Lu Fan joked, "I think it looks pretty good, I'll take this one."
"No, it's too expensive." Jiang Silu shook her head again.
"Silu, it's okay. The fact that Dad can buy it for you proves that Dad has the financial means. You don't need to feel any pressure."
"But......"
By then, the shop assistant had already quickly packed the dress into the orange box.
When she handed over the gift bag, Jiang Silu hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out to take it.
The box felt incredibly light, yet she felt it was extremely heavy, like holding a hot potato, and dared not even touch it.
Lu Fan originally wanted to buy her more clothes, but seeing her scared and embarrassed look, he could only smile and say, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and look at shoes."
When Jiang Silu heard this, she shook her head again: "No need, I...I have shoes to wear."
She even sounded a little tearful when she said this.
Because all I can think about right now is the price of that 38888 dress.
She really didn't dare let Lu Fan buy any more.
