"This is made of Celestial Silkworm Silk, isn't it?"
Just as Chen Xiaozhu was about to introduce it, Er Zhu remarked upon seeing the fabric.
"How did you know?"
A flicker of shock crossed Chen Xiaozhu's eyes, her large pupils fixed on Er Zhu.
Most satin fabrics are made from mulberry silkworm silk, but this fabric was made from celestial silkworm silk. Furthermore, the difference between mulberry silkworm silk and celestial silkworm silk is not significant, making it difficult for even professionals, let alone ordinary people, to distinguish.
And that, in such a short time!
"Embroider a plum blossom on the fabric."
Er Zhu didn't answer, instead posing his next request. A plum blossom with an antique charm would better suit Sister Mei's temperament on the snow-white satin.
"Yes, we have pre-embroidered fabrics. See if you are satisfied. These are all hand-embroidered."
Seeing Er Zhu's reluctance to elaborate, Chen Xiaozhu nodded slightly and retrieved another piece of fabric from the counter.
"Yes, I hope you can finish it as soon as possible. I need to take it tonight."
Er Zhu glanced at the fabric, nodded slightly, and then said slowly.
"No problem!"
Chen Xiaozhu's smile remained, and she confidently took the fabric.
"Shopkeeper, the tea is here."
As Chen Xiaozhu was about to say something more, Feng Xiaobao's voice suddenly came from the doorway. He was holding a teacup with extreme caution, his eyes filled with panic.
"Feng Xiaobao, you don't think this matter is over, do you!"
As soon as Feng Xiaobao placed the tea on the table, Chen Xiaozhu's smile vanished, and she asked sternly.
The reason she hadn't dealt with this matter earlier was to avoid delaying the customer's time. But now that everything had been settled, there were some things she had to address!
As one of the few high-end custom tailoring establishments in town, such an incident was a complete disgrace!
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry. It was my fault for being blind. Everything is my fault!"
As soon as Chen Xiaozhu finished speaking, Feng Xiaobao knelt on the ground in a panic, trembling and begging.
"You know to apologize now? What were you doing before? Er Zhu already said he has the Supreme Card, and only a fool like you didn't believe it!"
As Feng Xiaobao was about to say more, Wang Xiaomei, who had finished looking at the qipaos, glared at him with satisfaction and cursed.
Even a fool could see this. If he didn't have the Supreme Card, why would she have brought Er Zhu in, knowing the rules?
A fool is a fool, with no brains!
Wang Xiaomei cursed Feng Xiaobao a thousand times in her heart, while Feng Xiaobao was filled with regret.
Er Zhu, on the other hand, remained unfazed, calmly sipping his tea.
In fact, he was accustomed to Feng Xiaobao's actions and hadn't even paid attention to the taunts.
He also knew that Chen Xiaozhu's decision to punish Feng Xiaobao was not because of him, but because of that Supreme Card!
"Enough talk. You're fired!"
Chen Xiaozhu glared at Feng Xiaobao with a hint of disappointment, her gaze cold.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaobao stood frozen, a look of panic on his face.
Fired?
Was this the consequence of being blind?
No!
He had finally found such a good job, he couldn't be fired!
Feng Xiaobao's eyes darted, and a sudden flash of inspiration gave him a good idea!
"Sir, I was foolish. I abused my power and judged you by your appearance. Everything is my fault. Please be magnanimous. As long as you don't fire me, I'll accept any punishment!"
Feng Xiaobao's eyes shifted, and he quickly turned towards Er Zhu, kowtowing as he apologized.
The sound of his kowtows echoed in the room, yet the room was surprisingly quiet. Er Zhu didn't look at Feng Xiaobao once.
"Xiaomei, let's go."
Just as Feng Xiaobao was kowtowing until he felt dizzy, Er Zhu slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
In fact, he felt the punishment was a bit too harsh, but since it was the shop owner's decision, he couldn't say anything.
Moreover, he didn't have time to plead for a servant who acted like a dog relying on its master's influence!
Wang Xiaomei nodded slightly and pulled Er Zhu downstairs, as if afraid he would plead for Feng Xiaobao.
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Feng Xiaobao collapsed onto the floor in disappointment, recalling everything that had just happened.
He never expected that a few taunting words would cost him his job!
If he had known this earlier, he would have opened the door for them immediately!
A hint of regret flashed in his disappointed eyes, but it seemed too late now...
Leaving Xiaozhu's Tailoring Shop, it was already dark, but Wang Xiaomei knew Er Zhu wouldn't go back!
Er Zhu checked his watch and sent Li Mei a message saying he would be back late. As soon as he sent the message, he saw Wang Xiaomei staring at him with her large eyes wide and full of adoration.
"Er Zhu, I'm hungry. Let's go for dinner."
Seeing Er Zhu look up, Wang Xiaomei said in a coquettish tone.
"Mm."
Er Zhu was taken aback. The warmth that had just spread through his abdomen was instantly suppressed. He calmed himself and slowly nodded.
He had encountered three women who seemed interested in him today. If another one appeared, he really wouldn't be able to handle it!
"Let's go, I know a super delicious restaurant nearby!"
Wang Xiaomei linked her arm through Er Zhu's, causing a blush to spread across his face.
"Xiaomei, I don't need this. Just take me there."
Feeling the temperature around him rising, Er Zhu said, pulling his hand away with force.
Wang Xiaomei originally didn't intend to let go of Er Zhu, but his strength was too great, so she had no choice but to give up.
A hint of sadness flashed in Wang Xiaomei's eyes, and the air around them instantly dropped below freezing, becoming somewhat awkward. Looking at Wang Xiaomei's pitiful expression, Er Zhu suddenly felt that he might have been a bit too much.
After all, Wang Xiaomei had helped him so much today...
Er Zhu opened his mouth to comfort her, but Li Mei's image unsuitably appeared in his mind, and he immediately closed his mouth.
Never mind, perhaps drawing a clear line early on was for the best!
"Let's go, I'm hungry too."
After a long silence, Er Zhu's words broke the quiet. Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Wang Xiaomei gave a self-deprecating smile.
She should have known this would be the outcome. What was she expecting?
She and Er Zhu were destined to be impossible!
Without further conversation, they soon arrived at the restaurant Wang Xiaomei had recommended. Sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling window, watching the people passing by outside, Wang Xiaomei felt a sense of enlightenment.
What if it was impossible? As long as she could stay by Er Zhu's side, that would be enough.
Besides, life was full of infinite possibilities. Until the very end, who knew what the outcome would be?
