Chapter 91 Moving away "160,000 per meter".
Cheng Zhao's answer didn't name names, but it was practically the same as naming names.
Jin Shiyue raised the corner of her eye slightly, "Some people do too many bad things, and even the heavens can't stand it anymore."
While speaking, he glanced at Ren Lang without any attempt to hide it.
Now, even Su Yi'ang could tell that Cheng Zhao and Jin Shiyue were being sarcastic towards Ren Lang.
The surrounding air froze instantly.
Is Cheng Zhao mocking Ren Lang? Holy crap, will I ever get to see them tear each other apart on a variety show?
Uh, it's probably not going to work out.
[If it's just talk, Cheng Zhao's mouth is like insecticide. If it's a fight, look at the muscles in Cheng Zhao's arms and then look at the muscles in Ren Lang's arms.]
[Ren Lang wasn't wrong, Ye Hantao is making the production team spend a fortune, isn't she? Cheng Zhao liking Ye Hantao shouldn't be something he blatantly lies about, right?]
[The program didn't specify a price, so it's normal for Ye Hantao to want to choose a fabric she's used to wearing.]
[Can you please stop showing so much favoritism towards Ren Lang? When Ye Hantao first came to the show, some people couldn't help but interpret every single word she said in eight hundred different ways. Doesn't anyone else think Ren Lang's words were a bit cheesy?]
【Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Someone else has the same thought as me!!! He's deliberately mocking Ye Hantao, trying to take advantage without saying it outright!】
Being in the center of attention, Yuan Kai wanted to sit further away from Ren Lang, but he was afraid of offending Ren Lang too obviously.
Ren Lang was furious and enraged when Cheng Zhao and Jin Shiyue mocked him in front of everyone.
But he had to pretend he didn't understand the meaning behind his words.
Even when the camera was filming him, he responded with a faint smile.
The atmosphere only came alive again when Su Jin returned with the fabric.
Su Jin brought over a stack of pearly white fabric.
Off-screen, Zhou Ti had already scratched several red marks on Ye Weizheng's wrist.
Ye Weizheng comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry. We're all here in Rongcheng. If Tao Tao really has something to do, we can get there in time."
What's the use of arriving in time?
Last time they were at the hospital, they could only watch helplessly as Tao Tao lay in bed.
Zhou Ti was filled with regret, "Why did I have to choose these fabrics!"
Initially, Tao Tao had delicate skin and was allergic to many fabrics, causing rashes. Therefore, they had to let their workshops weave and dye the fabrics themselves.
As Tao Tao grew up, she never questioned the fabric of the clothes she wore regularly. Zhou Ti, however, couldn't resist her love of dressing up and would bring back a batch of clothes every now and then.
Zhou Ti never expected that Tao Tao would one day appear on a variety show.
It's fair to say that she's the one who reveals the most secrets among everyone in the family.
They had a bad feeling as soon as Tao Tao mentioned going to the Shu embroidery workshop that afternoon, and immediately set off from home to fly to Fuzhou.
Ye Weizheng grasped Zhou Ti's icy hand.
"Can the fabrics you use be as good as your aunt's?" Ye Weizheng knew in his heart that there were some things Zhou Ti was not unaware of, but the guilt that welled up inside her made her too busy to think about them.
He could only rub his lover's hand, "If all else fails, we can still blame it on Ming Sheng. Although he hides his Maze identity from his family, he buys some nice clothes and pretends they're ordinary to fool us."
In the live stream, Su Jin was also introducing the fine fabric she had brought: "This is a specially treated lotus silk blended with 6A mulberry silk, which is also the rarest fabric in the workshop."
Ye Hantao stared intently at the fabric that Su Jin was carefully cradling in her arms.
Su Jin guessed that the production team was unlikely to reimburse the cost of the cheongsam made from this fabric, as it was extremely expensive.
However, considering the master craftsman, she still brought over her treasured fabrics.
"Lotus silk itself is not suitable for making cheongsams, but when it is mixed with mulberry silk, it can be made to feel light to the touch. Then pearl powder is added, and even the texture has a pearly luster."
As Su Jin explained, the audience could indeed see the clear, lustrous sheen flowing across the fabric.
It's the kind of fabric that you can imagine how comfortable it would be to wear just by looking at it.
“The materials and production process of this fabric are very complicated, and only a small amount can be produced in a year. Even Huayun only has a quota of ten meters,” Su Jin said. “The cheongsams made by Huayun for last year’s private order event used this fabric.”
With the introduction to Su brocade, the fabric in front of us has been elevated in style.
Ren Lang had calmed down from his rage and asked gently, "Would we have the honor of admiring that cheongsam?"
Su Jin said helplessly, "That cheongsam was auctioned off to a guest who attended the private cheongsam order event that very day."
What is a private meeting?
[While Chanel fashion shows are commonly seen online, they represent the domain of international luxury brands, whereas private qipao (cheongsam) tasting events are the domain of Chinese luxury brands.]
【?!】
That's just the aesthetics passed down from our ancestors!
Yes, I've seen wealthy women post pictures; the clothes on stage cost anywhere from tens of thousands to millions of yuan.
Ye Hantao paid no attention to the private order event; her eyes were only fixed on the pearly white fabric in front of her.
The previous batch of Xiangyun yarn felt very similar to the fabric of the dress she was wearing, while this batch of lotus silk feels very similar to the fabric of her mother's pajamas.
What's the price?
"160,000 per meter."
"???" Ye Hantao quickly withdrew her hand that was about to touch the fabric.
That was close; I almost got scammed.
【???????】
How much is one meter?!
【I checked online and it wasn't that expensive!】
[If you're saying it's not that expensive, then please post the price! Because pure lotus silk isn't cheap either!]
[This Huayun one is almost indistinguishable from ordinary lotus silk.]
[People say it's blended with mulberry silk and has pearl powder added, otherwise how could it sell for 160,000?]
Damn, my house doesn't even cost 160,000 yuan per square meter.
Before this, I thought kesi (silk tapestry) was already ridiculously expensive (laughs).
The price of 160,000 yuan per meter drew Su Yi'ang and Gu Fanghao closer to watch.
They wanted to touch it but didn't dare.
It costs 160,000 yuan per meter! If you accidentally scratch the thread with your clumsy fingers, it would be such a waste of such a good thing.
In the end, Ye Hantao chose the same apricot-colored fabric as before, and still didn't touch the lotus silk.
Too expensive.
I can't touch it.
Zhou Ti breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into her chair.
"Luckily, Tao Tao didn't suspect anything."
"I think Tao Tao is a little suspicious."
Ye Weizheng recalled, "Tao Tao glanced at the lotus silk several times."
Zhou Ti opened the notebook she had brought.
What are you doing?
"Photoshopped image".
Zhou Ti opened Photoshop, "I need to Photoshop a few pajama orders. That lotus silk pajama set is made of polyester fiber and costs around a hundred yuan."
Ye Weizheng unlocked his phone. "I'll buy two sets. You check the order details."
After Ye Hantao and the others finished selecting the fabrics, they then finalized the style of the frog buttons and the embroidery patterns.
While Ye Hantao and the others were discussing with Su Jin, Cheng Zhao sent the photos he had just taken on his phone to Guan Sen.
One is the first batch of apricot-colored fabric, and the other is the lotus silk fabric that was just made.
He wasn't familiar with the texture of these fabrics, but he noticed that Ye Hantao lingered on them for a relatively long time.
[Guan Sen: Understood, I'll arrange for someone to purchase it immediately.]
Cheng Zhao thought for a moment, then raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Su, how much fabric is needed to make a cheongsam?"
Everyone was already familiarizing themselves with the process of customizing cheongsams, so his question seemed perfectly normal to Su Jin.
Without hesitation, Su Jin replied, "We use wide fabrics in our shop. It takes about 1.5 to 2.5 meters to make one cheongsam."
Then, Guan Sen received another message from his boss, in front of him were three large pieces of raw stone that had just been delivered at noon.
[Boss: For custom orders, bring in ten meters first, and we'll order two more later.]
As everyone left Huayun Workshop, night was just beginning to fall.
The streetlights illuminated the ancient ginkgo tree, making it shimmer with golden light.
After Ye Hantao boarded the bus, she took out her phone from her bag to check if any of her friends had sent her messages.
Unexpectedly, a shadow fell beside him.
Ye Hantao looked up and saw who it was, a look of surprise flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.
Ren Lang stood in the aisle of the bus, his refined but thin face bearing just the right amount of guilt.
He took a gold-embossed invitation from his bag and handed it over.
“The joint high-end jewelry exhibition by Aurelia and Velvion will be held next week, and as one of the organizers of this event, I would like to cordially invite you to attend.”
As he spoke, Ren Lang's gaze seemingly casually swept over the pendant on Ye Hantao's bag chain.
This pendant is from the same series as the one Cheng Zhao is wearing on his wrist.
He looks familiar.
Velvion launched a commemorative zodiac pendant at their 120th anniversary show last month.
But the one in front of him, including Cheng Zhao's, were all pirated.
It was completely different from the original design that Vic's customers received, and even the decorations were made of cheap amber.
Ren Lang knew that Ye Hantao had a brother like Maze, so she was probably not short of money, but it wasn't enough for her to buy luxury goods without any scruples.
What to do if you're vain but have no money? Buy counterfeit goods.
He had seen many people like this in the fashion industry, who looked glamorous in front of the camera but wore high-quality counterfeits.
Ren Lang intends to exploit Ye Hantao's vanity to drive a wedge between her and Gu Fanghao.
Ye Hantao turned her head to look at Gu Fanghao next to her, and their eyes met. Gu Fanghao was also listening to their conversation.
Ye Hantao asked Ren Lang curiously, "Why didn't you give it to Fang Hao?"
Isn't Fang Hao the person this person is targeting?
[Disease progression: 22%]
Ye Hantao's eyes were blank.
Where does the feedback on the character's persona come from?
[Ye Hantao did this on purpose, didn't she!]
【Huh? What do you mean by intentionally?】
[Before asking, he deliberately glanced at Gu Fanghao before asking Ren Lang why he wouldn't give it to Gu Fanghao. Wasn't he just trying to see Gu Fanghao upset?]
Everyone thought Ren Lang was taking good care of Gu Fang, but he gave her the invitation instead, just showing off his superiority.
I'm truly speechless with you haters. Did you even manage to decipher 10,000 words in reading comprehension back in school?
[Don't think Ye Hantao is the only one who's curious; I'm curious too why he didn't give Gu Fanghao a chance.]
Ren Langfei quickly glanced at Gu Fanghao's expression, puzzled as to why Gu Fanghao's gratitude points hadn't been taken away.
Doesn't Gu Fanghao get angry that he gave the invitation to Ye Hantao?
He apologized to Ye Hantao, saying, "I said something inappropriate in the store. I hope you won't take it to heart. This is my apology."
Gao Zhuzhan only invites high-quality customers within the system. Not to mention that Ye Hantao is just Maze's sister, even Maze herself is not on the invitation list.
Having received Gao Zhuzhan's invitation, Ye Hantao would never give it to Gu Fanghao.
After saying that, Ren Lang didn't wait for Ye Hantao to give a definite answer before turning around and returning to his seat in front.
Gu Fanghao grabbed Ye Hantao's arm and whispered, "It's good that he knows what he said was inappropriate."
Among this group of people, besides Tao Tao, Ren Lang was the one who gave her the most answers.
She felt grateful to Ren Lang and was quite happy to see that he could recognize his mistake.
Ye Han thought to herself, "It would be even better if he could correct the inappropriate things he's done."
Cheng Zhao stopped. "You want to go?"
Ye Hantao didn't hesitate, "Go!"
It might also be an opportunity to get feedback on the character design.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhao secretly made a mental note of Gao Zhuzhan.
His family doesn't hold shares in either of these brands, but they've collaborated on them quite a few times.
He glanced down at the pendant on his wrist and decided he should go with Tao Tao to help her family patch up the wound.
The next experience stipulated by the program team was a paper-cutting lesson taught by a local intangible cultural heritage master.
When they returned to the guesthouse, it was already 10 p.m., and the live stream had just ended.
The sound of water in the bathroom grew louder.
Ye Hantao sat on the bed waiting for Sister Shiyue to come out after taking a shower.
When she finally had a moment to herself, she took out her phone and discovered that her friend had already replied to her message that afternoon.
[SuiSui: I saw a stone in my grandma's yard, and I want to call out the top one! (Image.jpg)]
Then, less than five minutes later, another one appeared.
[SuiSui: TaoTao, did Grandma and Grandpa find out about our plan? (terrified.jpg)!!!]
[SuiSui: I was just about to leave when a convoy of cars suddenly arrived, and in less than ten minutes they had emptied the yard of all the stones (image.jpg)]
