Xu Qingqing pointed her slender finger at Song Qiqi. Song Qiqi, who had thought she wouldn't get a chance to shine, was surprised that Xu Qingqing had voluntarily chosen her.
A flash of excitement flickered in Song Qiqi's eyes. She nodded and replied, "Okay."
Hearing this, Liu Meiling got anxious and stepped in front of Song Qiqi to block her. "This won't do!"
"She's just a new employee. She doesn't know how to recommend styles to customers. Let me show you around instead."
"My wife has already spoken. Do you want her to say it a second time?"
Lu Chuanbai looked at Liu Meiling impatiently, his gaze extremely sharp. The frost in his eyes seemed to freeze Liu Meiling.
Liu Meiling felt a chill run down her back under Lu Chuanbai's gaze. She didn't dare to say another word and could only watch helplessly as Song Qiqi briskly led Xu Qingqing and the others upstairs.
"It's just a case of mistaken identity. Who hasn't made a mistake?"
Liu Meiling didn't think it was her fault at all. She just thought Song Qiqi was lucky.
"If I'd known, I would have pretended to be a good - hearted person too!"
Liu Meiling said resentfully.
Song Qiqi led Xu Qingqing, Lu Chuanbai, and their child up to the second floor.
Beautiful and gorgeous wedding dresses were displayed on the racks. Under the dazzling incandescent lights, the rhinestones on them sparkled.
Song Qiqi found the wedding dress catalog and placed it in front of Xu Qingqing.
"Ms. Xu, you can take a look at the types of wedding dresses you like before the designer arrives."
Xu Qingqing readily agreed and flipped through the pictures of the magnificent wedding dresses.
After flipping through a few pages, all she saw were extremely puffy ball gowns. Xu Qingqing wanted something more innovative. She looked up at Song Qiqi.
"Can you recommend some that aren't ball gowns?"
Song Qiqi nodded and carefully sized up Xu Qingqing's figure.
Xu Qingqing had a perfect figure, with curves in all the right places. Since becoming a mother, there was always a unique charm between her eyebrows, both charming and amorous.
"Ms. Xu has a perfect body proportion. You can choose a mermaid - style dress that best outlines your figure. The top can be made into a strapless style to show off your swan - like neck."
Xu Qingqing flipped through the mermaid - style wedding dresses and thought the styles were much better than the ball gowns.
Lu Chuanbai, sitting beside Xu Qingqing and looking through the catalog with her, thought that every wedding dress would suit Xu Qingqing.
He wanted Xu Qingqing to choose several different types of wedding dresses and take wedding photos to capture her most beautiful moments.
"Get one of each type. We can take wedding photos in different styles."
Xu Qingqing gave Lu Chuanbai a sidelong glance and disagreed. "Are we going to let all those extra dresses gather dust? One is enough."
Anyway, their family would always be together in the future. Taking family photos would be more meaningful.
"I think Dad is right!"
Xu An'an hurriedly raised her hand to speak. She flipped the wedding dress catalog to the ball - gown section and chose her favorite sea - blue wedding dress.
"Mom, I want to wear a dress like yours. I want to be the flower girl and walk in front of you at the wedding to scatter petals."
Of course, Xu Qingqing wanted to fulfill her daughter's wish. She nodded and said, "Then Mom will choose this one too."
In the end, Xu Qingqing decided on two wedding dresses, a sea - blue ball gown and a champagne - colored mermaid - style dress.
After receiving the reservation to design a new wedding dress for Xu Qingqing, the designer Amanda flew in overnight, dragging her suitcase in a hurry.
Amanda hadn't washed her face or put on makeup. She wore a pair of large square - framed glasses on her face.
Liu Meiling, who was still sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, saw a disheveled woman dragging a suitcase come in. She immediately walked over and blocked the woman.
Liu Meiling pinched her nose and sized Amanda up and down as if she could smell an unpleasant odor on Amanda.
"You've gone to the wrong place. This isn't a hotel. Get out quickly!"
Saying this, Liu Meiling placed her phone playing short videos on the front - desk table and tried to push Amanda out.
"No! I'm here to design wedding dresses. I'm Amanda!"
Amanda stood her suitcase beside her and explained her identity.
Even though she returned to China only a few times a year, the old employees shouldn't fail to recognize her, right?
Hearing this, Liu Meiling sized Amanda up and down, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"Don't talk nonsense. You don't look like Amanda at all!"
Liu Meiling had met Amanda a few times. Every time, Amanda had been wearing heavy Western - style makeup.
She simply couldn't recognize Amanda in her natural state.
Hearing this, Amanda couldn't help rolling her eyes and looked at Liu Meiling unhappily.
What did she mean? Was she saying that she looked ugly without makeup?
Who could stand such ridicule!
"I really am Amanda. I need to go and design clothes for the customers now. Please let me in quickly."
Amanda suppressed her anger. She didn't want to waste time arguing with Liu Meiling.
But Liu Meiling was unyielding. She looked at Amanda indignantly, as if Amanda was a liar.
"Stop lying! You don't look like our store manager at all. Stop pretending. If you don't leave, I'll call the police."
Hearing this, Amanda couldn't bear it any longer. She swore and took out her ID card from her wallet and slapped it in front of Liu Meiling.
"This is my ID. Look carefully! I'm Amanda!"
Liu Meiling saw the picture of Amanda with her nose in the air on the ID card. The name on it was Tian Yuanyuan.
Liu Meiling found a new excuse. "Your name is Tian Yuanyuan, not Amanda!"
Amanda was almost driven crazy by this stupid woman, Liu Meiling. She said coldly,
"Amanda is my English name, and Tian Yuanyuan is my Chinese name. Can you let me in now?"
Saying this, Amanda picked up her suitcase and pushed past Liu Meiling forcefully.
Only then did Liu Meiling realize that she had mistaken someone. She quickly caught up with Amanda to apologize.
"Sorry, store manager. I just haven't seen you for so long that I forgot what you look like!"
"Please forgive me. Forgive me for being blind and speaking thoughtlessly just now."
Amanda saw the ingratiating smile on Liu Meiling's face after she recognized her. She just thought Liu Meiling's condescending attitude earlier was even more ironic.
Amanda wasn't buying it at all. "Just because you didn't recognize me, you could point fingers at me and drive me out?"
"Your attitude makes me wonder if you usually treat customers like this!"
"No, I always respect customers. It's just an accident today..."
Because of nervousness, Liu Meiling's slightly trembling hands turned ice - cold. She still wanted to defend herself.
Amanda grabbed the phone that was still playing short videos. There was undisguised anger between her eyebrows.
"Playing with your phone during work hours and slacking off openly! Since you want to play so much, just go home and play!"
After saying that, Amanda angrily pulled her suitcase and walked past Liu Meiling.
Hearing that Amanda wanted her to go home, Liu Meiling immediately panicked. She quickly caught up with Amanda and wanted to defend herself again.
"Store manager, I really didn't! Song Qiqi took my job, so I was just playing with my phone downstairs to kill time."
