Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lady Number Three picked up a handbag and said,”Aiya, it’s rare to see Mrs. Gu, so I specially prepared a small gift.”
With that, she handed the handbag to Hai Tang. Hai Tang subconsciously glanced at it. There seemed to be a bag inside.
“I asked my relative to buy this bag overseas two years ago. It’s a special crocodile skin. Thank you, President Gu, for your support and care for my Old He.”Lady Number Three looked at Hai Tang sincerely.
When the other two ladies saw Lady Number Three actually take out a crocodile skin bag as a gift, their expressions changed.
When Hai Tang heard this, she understood that the rarity crocodile skin bag in the handbag was worth no less than a million. She hurriedly shook her head.”No need, no need. I can’t accept your gift.”
Lady Number Three was a little stunned and quickly said, “Mrs. Gu, do you not like bags? I even have a pair of high heels handmade by the designer of the C family at home…”
Seeing this, Lady Number One simply took off the necklace around her neck and handed it to Hai Tang.’”‘l’m sorry, Mrs. Gu. I was in a hurry and forgot to bring your greeting gift. This necklace is an antique necklace that my grandmother passed down to me…”
Lady Number Two did not want to be outdone. She took off the jade bracelet on her hand and gave it to Hai Tang.” This bracelet is also for you as an opening gift. Look at this bracelet. It’s first-class and exquisite. It’s more suitable for you, Mrs. Gu..
Hai Tang felt a headache coming on. Compared to the middle-aged man who had tried to bribe her, the gifts of these noblewomen were even harder to refuse, and the interactions between them were even more complicated. Moreover, their husbands were Gu Yun’s right-hand men, so she could not offend them too much.
Hai Tang had spent a lot of effort not to accept the gifts from the noblewomen. However, before she left, the three noblewomen pulled Hai Tang and took a selfie.
They even added Hai Tang’s contact information and sent the photo to her.
In the photo, the three middle-aged ladies were smiling so hard that the wrinkles on their faces were squeezed into a flower. They were tightly pressed against Hai Tang, like close sisters.
In the middle of the photo, Hai Tang looked helpless and embarrassed, as if she was being treated as a mascot.
After sending off the noblewomen, Hai Tang realized that more than ten flower baskets had appeared at the entrance of the shop. They were so crowded that they almost filled the entrance of the shoo. and even Diled on the road.
There were even some people who secretly sent gifts under the flower baskets. Hai Tang glanced at them. There were jade carvings, authentic paintings of a certain master, antique vases, and so on.
Fortunately, these gifts came with the sender’s message and signature, saving Hai Tang the trouble of looking for people to return the gifts one by one.
With a headache, she took a photo of the grand occasion at the entrance of the shop and sent it to Gu Yun.[Gu Yun, what’s going on?]
When she clicked into Gu Yun’s Moments, Hai Tang realized that before Gu Yun left, he had posted a photo of her shop on his Moments.
In the comments below, Gu Yun even mentioned the location of her shop. No wonder people who wanted to curry favor with Gu Yun came to her shop.
Gu Yun was currently looking at documents. When he saw the photo and message Hai Tang sent, he was also stunned. He replied, “[I just casually posted it on my WeChat Moments.]
His original intention was to help his wife celebrate.
However, it seemed to have brought great trouble to Hai Tang.
He quickly entered his Moments and deleted the post.
He quickly replied to Hai Tang,[My question has been deleted from my Moments.]]
Hai Tang sent a string of ellipses, then said, “[I’ll tell you later. There’s another customer.]
An hour later.
Hai Tang’s shop was already full of people. These people had all heard that President Madam Gu’s shop had just opened and rushed over to support and see Hai Tang.
Even though Gu Yun had deleted his post, the news still spread like wildfire.
In the beginning, people who came to give gifts and wanted to please her were all forcefully rejected by Hai Tang. Seeing that the method of giving gifts did not work, those people simply pointed to a painting in the shop and said, ‘” I bought this painting for 500,000! Mrs. Gu, don’t lower the price for me. The most important thing about art is its spiritual value.”
Hai Tang had no choice but to say that she would not sell any of the paintings in the shop..
