Chapter 475: Finding faults
When Ruan Yueyin heard the store manager say that there was still one custom-made item that had not been taken out, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face.
Has the store manager learned to keep secrets?
She turned her eyes to Chen Yingying and pretended to be apologetic, "Aunt, the manager of Sanhe has just shown me all the styles. I don't think the remaining one will be too amazing. Although the manager said there are custom-made ones, this is probably just her sales pitch. How about we change stores? I can't let Sister Xingmian choose the remaining clothes for me, right?"
Chen Yingying noticed that Ruan Yueyin's attitude towards Ruan Xingmian was a little subtle, so she didn't respond to her immediately. Instead, she looked at Ruan Xingmian and said respectfully, "Mianmian, do you want to wait for the store manager to pick up the custom-made model, or go to other stores to have a look?"
After all, Mianmian is their family's savior, and she really shouldn't let Mianmian choose what Yinyin has left over.
When Ruan Yueyin saw that she put Ruan Xingmian first, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
Ruan Xingmian didn't care. "Let's wait a moment. I remember that at Sanhe's previous new product launch, there was a traditional Chinese style dress inspired by Snow White. I want to see if the one the store manager brought out is that one."
After she reminded her, Ruan Yueyin realized that she had also watched Sanhe's new product launch conference on TV, but she was busy persuading her parents to bring her to Country M at that time and didn't finish watching it.
Plus, she thought the manager had just taken out the best custom-made items in the store, so she didn't take it seriously for the moment.
But she believed deep down that no custom-made model could be better than the one she chose.
Seeing that Ruan Xingmian wanted to wait and see the custom-made model, Chen Yingying nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll wait."
Soon, the store manager came back.
She was holding a long skirt with white and blue as the main color. Against the large white background, blue was used as the finishing touch at the waist and hem. In addition, the designer also covered the outside of the skirt with a layer of gauze, making the whole skirt as light and flowing as clouds, and as noble and elegant as a princess.
Ruan Yueyin couldn't take her eyes off it after seeing it. This long skirt perfectly matched her aesthetic.
"This skirt is really nice. It really suits Mianmian." Chen Yingying was amazed at the first sight and immediately recommended it to Ruan Xingmian, "Mianmian, try it on quickly."
"it is good."
Ruan Xingmian agreed, and the store manager helped her carry the skirt to the fitting room.
Ruan Yueyin felt a little unhappy.
Why did Chen Yingying let Ruan Xingmian try on such a beautiful skirt without even asking herself?
I've called her aunt so many times along the way!
It’s in vain!
After Ruan Xingmian entered the fitting room, she took the initiative to ask the store manager, "Manager, does this skirt have other sizes? I want to try it on, too."
The store manager was standing by the fitting room. Upon hearing her words, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Ruan, this skirt is the only one in the world. There are no other sizes or colors available."
The only one in the world!
When Ruan Yueyin heard this, she couldn't help but regret that she didn't ask a question before, and let Ruan Xingmian get such a big advantage!
Now she could only pray that Ruan Xingmian couldn't wear it, so that she would have a chance to try it on.
But God was obviously not on her side this time.
"Oh my god, Mianmian, you are so beautiful!"
Chen Yingying watched Ruan Xingmian walk out holding up her skirt and she danced with joy.
Ruan Yueyin looked over unwillingly, only to see Ruan Xingmian walking out in a white and blue long dress. The hem of her skirt fluttered lightly, like clouds floating in the sky, elegant and moving.
Every detail contains the craftsman's endless ingenuity and ultimate pursuit of beauty.
"Yes, this lady has fair skin and a very good body proportion. She looks so beautiful after putting it on! She looks even better than the spokesperson we invited before."
The store manager said, and took out his phone to ask Ruan Xingmian for his opinion, "Can I take two photos? I want to send them to our superiors and ask them to invite new models to shoot promotional ads for us."
"You can, but it can't be spread outside." Ruan Xingmian reminded.
"Of course, we will never use photos for commercial purposes without your consent," the store manager promised.
Only then did Ruan Xingmian agree to let her take the photo.
Although she hasn’t taken many photos, because the store manager is skilled in taking photos and her face is in full view from all angles, every photo has a level of exquisiteness that others envy.”
Ruan Yueyin had already regretted it, and now seeing Ruan Xingmian coming out so brilliantly, the anger and regret in her heart immediately turned into deeper reluctance and unwillingness.
She racked her brains for a long time before she found a suitable excuse.
"Aunt, don't you think that the skirt that Sister Xingmian is wearing is a little long? It's inconvenient for her to walk and she may fall easily. Why don't you change the style?"
As long as Ruan Xingmian agrees, she can get it.
By the way, you can also show off your more perfect figure!
But the store manager didn't think so. "I think this dress is very suitable for Miss Xingmian. Our designer specially extended the hem of the skirt so that it would look elegant when she walks. Miss Xingmian has delicate features and elegant temperament, which is very suitable for this style. What do you think, Ms. Chen?"
Chen Yingying also nodded with satisfaction, "It's really very good, Mianmian, or we can take it down."
Ruan Xingmian looked at herself in the mirror. In fact, she didn't have many opportunities to wear haute couture dresses. Most of the time when she was invited to attend banquets, she wore simple styles.
Even when Henry invited her to attend a royal banquet, she focused on comfort.
But she did feel that this skirt was different from the ones she had worn before. It was very light and free and did not restrict her.
Ruan Yueyin saw that Ruan Xingmian was somewhat moved and became very anxious.
In order not to miss out on this rare haute couture dress, she made up her mind and started to find fault with it.
"This dress is indeed stunning at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it's still not good enough. Aunt, although it has blue embellishments, the overall white is still too much, and it looks rather bland. Also, the design on the back is too ordinary, without any highlights. If it had a bow or an open back like G's autumn and spring dresses last year, it might be better."
The store manager was a very perceptive person. Seeing her slandering his own designs, he quickly explained: "Ms. Ruan, our brand designs are all drawn by our designers one by one. They are all their own inspirations. Our Sanhe style is very distinctive in the market. This is also the biggest reason why we can become neighbors with internationally renowned brands like lady.m."
When Ruan Yueyin saw that the store manager not only denied her but also used lady.m to pressure her, her gentle tone immediately sank.
"I didn't deny your design. I was just giving you suggestions for improvement. Can't you even accept this?"
"Of course not. We humbly accept all customers' opinions." The store manager noticed the displeasure in her tone and his voice became a little lighter. "What I wanted to express just now is that Sanhe is Sanhe. We are not a subsidiary of other brands, nor are we a substitute for other brands. We are unique and do not need to learn from any brand."
