Chapter 1286 - 1285: Collecting Clothes
The clothes are finished, so of course, they need to be picked up.
Without paying any attention to those hikers still trudging their way out of Wuyi Mountain, the group rose into the clouds and flew straight to Beidu.
...
At Yang Qing’s studio in Beidu, the female designer Yang Qing hung up the phone, sat at her computer for a while, looked at some other designs, and was just about to go downstairs to eat when she received a call from the front desk, saying the people who came to pick up the clothes had arrived.
Yang Qing: ???
Yang Qing couldn’t help but glance at the ladies’ watch on her left wrist. "So fast?"
Meanwhile, Lu Zheng was explaining to the young lady at the front desk, "We were just shopping nearby, so when we got the call, we came right over."
The receptionist glanced at Si Lingxi and Shen Ying, then at Lin Wan, and looked at Lu Zheng with admiration in her eyes.
"I’ve notified President Yang; she’ll be here shortly," said the receptionist.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
Just as they were talking, Yang Qing walked quickly over and shook hands with Lu Zheng.
Then she caught sight of Si Lingxi at a glance.
Yang Qing’s eyes lit up involuntarily, and she couldn’t help but look at Lu Zheng with a puzzled expression.
The implication was clear: How could such a beautiful woman not have a set of clothes?
Lu Zheng shook his head, "Lingxi isn’t interested in fur coats."
Yang Qing regretfully shook her head, "This lady has such an excellent temperament. If there were snow leopard fur, making a coat would match her perfectly."
Si Lingxi smirked but said nothing.
Snow leopard?
If she had the inclination, the snow leopard demon under her command could deliver all the non-demonized snow leopards from his territory to Phoenix Mountain for her to choose from.
"This way, please!"
Yang Qing led them to a nearby room where the ready-made clothes were kept; the seven sets were finished yesterday and placed in the room.
Yang Qing looked at Shen Ying and Lin Wan; she had seen their photos and knew each one had a set.
So she asked, "Would you like to try on the clothes here?"
"Is there a fitting room?"
"Of course!" Yang Qing nodded repeatedly.
The beauty of Shen Ying and Lin Wan exceeded her expectations, and their beauty was unique enough that, as an industry insider, she could tell at a glance that it was natural.
This made Yang Qing very excited, eager to see the clothes she designed showcased on such beautiful women.
"Shall we try them on?" Lu Zheng looked at the two women, then at Yang Qing, not bothering with formalities. "If there’s anything inappropriate, it can be adjusted promptly."
Yang Qing nodded continuously, "Of course, but I believe there won’t be any problems with these clothes."
"Alright." Shen Ying and Lin Wan saw no reason to refuse.
The studio, of course, had fitting rooms, and there was more than one.
The two women took their respective clothes inside, and shortly after, the doors opened, and they walked out.
"Hiss——"
"Wow——"
The fitting room was in another room with other staff and guests, so when the two women came out, they received a chorus of admiration.
Shen Ying wore a leopard print dress, designed with separate top and bottom pieces. The top was form-fitting, and the leopard print skirt featured pleated designs, blending ancient and modern styles, with knee-high boots made mostly of buffalo leather accented by leopard print.
It was sexy with a hint of wildness.
Lin Wan wore a tiger fur coat with a stronger touch of traditional style; the coat was asymmetrical, and the right side had a bear fur capelet with sleeves gathered at the wrist and a long bear fur wristguard.
Yet, the overall design exuded a clearly modern trendy style, not at all out of place even if worn in the street.
"So beautiful..."
"Absolutely stunning..."
With a tiger and a leopard, the fitting room transformed into a zoo.
"Very beautiful and fits well." Shen Ying was indifferent to the strangers’ admiration, spinning once before the large mirror in the room and nodding to Yang Qing, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome; it’s an honor to make such a set of clothes for you," Yang Qing smiled.
Meanwhile, Lin Wan looked satisfied too; she planned to wear this ensemble for missions to places like Northern Goose or Maple Country in the future.
"Mr. Lu."
"Hmm?"
"Not all of the clothing was made entirely from fur, so there’s still some remaining fur."
Yang Qing offered Lu Zheng the choice, "Would you like to take these furs, or shall we make some matching bags, gloves, scarves, or even replacement shoes for you?"
"Is there a lot left? Can you make a lot of matching items?" Lu Zheng asked.
Yang Qing nodded, "There’s quite a lot left, enough to make two or three more sets of clothes. If made into matching bags and such, there could be even more, offering various designs for you to use or give as gifts."
Lu Zheng agreed naturally, "Taking them would be useless, so I’d appreciate it if you could make matching items. Feel free to decide on the designs yourself. Just give me a quote for the total cost at the end."
"Alright!"
Yang Qing smiled, pleased to have the opportunity to design freely with high-end materials and soon have income.
This customer was quite generous.
...
"Tiger fur? Leopard fur?"
"And more?"
In the room, other studio guests were trying on clothes—two women who appeared to be in their thirties or forties but were well-maintained, evidently affluent.
They also custom-ordered high-end garments at Yang Qing’s studio. As they tried them on, they looked stylish and distinctive.
However, compared to Shen Ying and Lin Wan, whether in terms of appearance or attire, they were clearly overshadowed.
Initially shocked that the studio provided animal fur, they later guessed it might be artificial fur. But after hearing Yang Qing, they realized the materials came from the customers themselves.
The key was...there was more?
Unable to resist, the two women approached Lu Zheng.
"Hello, do you have leftover animal fur?"
"Why not sell it to us?"
"Name a price, and we’ll pay."
One of them directly asked Yang Qing, "Ms. Yang, what sort of fur remains? Could you make a dress suitable for me?"
Yang Qing shook her head and looked at Lu Zheng as she had no authority over this matter.
Lu Zheng also shook his head, "Sorry, I’m planning to make the remaining fur into bags, gloves, and scarves to give to friends."
One woman frowned, "Anyway, you’ve finished your clothes, so why not sell the leftovers to us? We can be friends; my husband is..."
Lu Zheng raised his hand to cut her off, "Who your husband is doesn’t matter."
"You!"
The first woman was about to react, but the other woman stopped her, glancing briefly, "Never mind, if they won’t sell, then forget it."
However, as soon as she finished, she pointedly added, "Your tiger and leopard fur is real, isn’t it..."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and saw the woman pull the first woman away, grabbing their ordered clothes and leaving.
