At Yongan Company, Bai Qianyu began her first shopping experience in the Republic of China.

When Bai Qianyu was led over to pick out clothes, Xiaohuan asked Fu Dong in shock, "How can they show up in public? How is this unbecoming!"

Fu Dong put his hands in his pockets, touched his nose and said, "It caused a lot of discussion when it first came out, but now it is like this in Shanghai. You will get used to it in the future."

At this time in Shanghai, it has become a trend to employ female employees in business firms, such as Xianshi, Yongan, and Xinxin. Needless to say, others include banks, secretaries and typists in various companies, especially women. Most of them were founded by Chinese.

On Nanshi buses, all conductors are women. At the Women's Commercial Bank on Nanjing Road, as the name suggests, of course women are the conductors.

"This... is so shameless..." the maid muttered in a low voice, and at the same time kept secretly glancing at the salesmen, probably because her world view was affected.

Fu Dong stopped talking to her. In fact, he originally thought that Miss Yu would be interested in this issue and would most likely show a certain degree of disgust. But what he didn't expect was that Miss Yu had a calm temperament.

It seems that everyone has the air of being a lady who is not surprised at everything. Not only is she not surprised at everything, she has already picked out three sets of clothes in a short time.

Bai Qianyu doesn't think so. She just chooses clothes and buys what she likes. The Fu family is not short of money, and she was also a trendsetter who was at the forefront of fashion in her previous life, although the "retro style" in her eyes is exactly this.

The "new women's clothing" is currently popular, but she still finds it very interesting. These clothes remind her of those classic black and white movies and Audrey Hepburn.

And it just so happens that no city in this era is more urgent than Shanghai in terms of catching up with fashion trends, and no city pays more attention to fashion than Shanghai. Anything trendy, whether it is Universal Department Store or Hollywood movies, is creating

In this "Paris of the East", you can find all the fashion you can imagine here.

The saleswoman was already prepared to accept the fussy questions from outsiders, and was also ready to explain to her the fashion trends in Shanghai... but it was useless. Bai Qianyu walked along the display racks, occasionally taking out one piece to look at.

After a few glances, he threw it to the saleswoman behind him. Sometimes he pointed at the model in the window and asked her: "Does this have my size? Yes? Then take one." After that, he continued shopping.

The saleswoman followed behind, holding the clothes until her hands were weak. But at this time, the saleswomen at other counters also caught wind of the situation and lined up with goods in hand. They were eager to prepare for this lavish and eye-catching person.

Old School Escort Service.

At first, some people thought that they had encountered someone who had never seen the world. They were afraid of being looked down upon for showing off their timidity, so they forced themselves to make random choices. But then they discovered that this young lady was very interested in those complicated and conservative cheongsams or dresses.

I'm not interested at all. On the contrary, I don't shy away from showing off my shoulders and legs. I choose the most modern and fashionable styles. My taste is surprisingly good.

Fu Dong looked a little dazed and wondered to himself, was this really the first time Miss Yu came back to Shanghai?

This demeanor can be explained by being well-bred, but when he saw that the clothes held in the hands of the salesgirls, several of them were pure black and pure white, which made him tremble with fear - she was really not taboo.

Later, Xiaohuan gradually relaxed and picked out a few conservative cheongsams for her. They were all long-sleeved and long-skirted with low slits. The colors were also low-key and elegant dark or plain colors. Although Bai Qianyu didn't think she would wear them.

, but also follow the good example

She nodded awkwardly, and the little maid immediately showed a smile, happily gesturing with the clothes on her body, but when Bai Qianyu proposed to choose one for her, she quickly shook her head to express her resistance.

Of course, as long as Bai Qianyu kept a straight face and deliberately showed a bit of displeasure, Xiaohuan would obediently let Bai Qianyu choose two dresses for her that were called "civilized new clothes" and wrap them up.

When it was time to pay, Fu Dong went over and said something, and the saleswoman's attitude became more respectful. Seeing that he came back soon, Bai Qianyu didn't even take out her wallet, so she couldn't help but curiously asked, "How did you pay?"

"Pay with discounts." Fu Dong explained, "Customers who get discounts only need to keep accounts for their usual shopping, and then pay in total... Usually they are only issued to consuls of Britain, the United States and other countries and some foreign expatriates. However,

The Fu family has some shares in Yongan, so they also use discounts."

Finally, when Bai Qianyu left, two rows of salesmen beside her held various paper bags and sent her off. This was just part of it. Some of them required tailor-made clothes, and there were many embroideries with complicated craftsmanship.

It has to be made by a master stitch by stitch, and it will be delivered to your door a month later.

When she was about to leave, Bai Qianyu stopped and implicitly expressed that she needed to go to the bathroom.

"Miss..." Xiaohuan next to her looked a little embarrassed. It was really embarrassing to say such a thing in front of a man. Why couldn't the lady bear it and went back right away...or to "change clothes"?

ah.

Fu Dong could understand the other party's embarrassment, "I'll take you there."

The maid was very ashamed and angry. After all, her young lady was a member of the family. If we were in Zhili, this kind of thing would be considered rude. However, Shanghai has always had no rules. It was not easy for her to get angry. She just took a step forward as if facing a formidable enemy.

, said, "No need to be rude, I will just accompany the lady."

Fu Dong was speechless by her fussing and compromised, "Okay then... just follow the signs. If you can't find them again, ask the teller. I'll wait at the door."

Then he lit a cigarette and smoked while waiting.

This wait lasts ten minutes.

At first, Fu Dong thought he was just asking for directions or was having trouble at his daughter's house. He didn't think much about it - where else could he think of going? Until fifteen minutes passed, Fu Dong suddenly put out his second cigarette, regardless of the other guests.

She screamed and rushed into the women's restroom.

There was naturally no sign of Bai Qianyu inside.

He grabbed the cleaning lady beside him and said, "There was a female guest before, with a maid in a coat and skirt... did you see where she went?"

"Ah, that lady, she's gone..." The cleaning lady pointed to the door. Fu Dong looked in the direction of her finger, but there was only a bustling crowd.

…

There is a long and wide road in the French Concession called Xiafei Road.

Xiafei Road is located in the middle of the French Concession. It has convenient transportation, lush streets, and beautiful scenery. Therefore, it has become a famous wealthy area in Shanghai. But in fact, before World War I, this road did not have such a beautiful name. Later, the French

It was changed by the overseas Chinese in memory of General Joffre. In another hundred years, it will be renamed. The same is true in the world. Few things can be passed down forever.

The weather was fine until noon, but it was overcast again in Shanghai. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already as dark as the evening, and more dark clouds were brewing in the sky. People who hung clothes to dry in the houses facing the street put away clothes poles, and wore long clothes on the street.

Pedestrians in coats walked quickly with briefcases on their heads, and huge posters for new movies were dim and unclear.

"We're here, miss." A rickshaw stopped, and the driver pointed to the garden house in front, "Here, it's in front, No. 17, Xiafei Road."

"Thank you." Bai Qianyu got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of her. Mr. Fu was really generous. The first thing he did was a garden house. Although it was not as grand as the mansion's fountain lawn and grand manor, it was hidden among the sycamore trees.

The building is exquisite yet quiet, and the people living around it are obviously either rich or noble. It can be called a golden house hiding the beauties.

The coachman had received a much richer reward than usual, so he seemed very enthusiastic. "You're welcome, Miss, hurry in. The rain will start to fall soon, and I have to find a place to take shelter." He wiped his face with a sweat towel.

, pulled the car and left.

"Miss, miss, do we really want to go..." Xiao Huan, who was following the side, was a little nervous, and looked back from time to time, "My uncle will be angry if he finds out..."

Twenty minutes ago, Bai Qianyu had already told the maid succinctly where she wanted to go on her way to the women's restroom. After all, she was the only trustworthy person in this era, although she might not be able to help.

But if she doesn't explain it clearly, it may hold her back.

Of course, after she expressed her intention, she was strongly discouraged by the maid - it was not that she felt that the matter was inappropriate, but that she felt that it was too hasty and the time had not come yet, so she would wait until the family was established and she was favored before tearing up the mistress.

Only then did the name change become more logical.

"Miss, if you come to the house like this, my uncle will definitely think that you are jealous." Xiaohuan pulled her sleeves and begged, "That Miss Yin, she is so favored by my uncle, then the dispute will really break down, and then

What good can we get? Miss, let's go back, it's not too late to settle the accounts later..."

"Okay, stop chanting." Bai Qianyu ignored her, "Go and ring the doorbell."

"Yes..." Seeing that her resistance was fruitless, the maid had no choice but to respond in a muffled voice, stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

Ding dong, the doorbell rang. After a while, a woman in an apron came over while wiping her hands, and answered through the courtyard door: "Who is it?"

Xiaohuan looked at Bai Qianyu. Bai Qianyu didn't say anything. She had no choice but to risk her life. Her face became cold and she took on the posture of asking for help, "My lady's surname is Yu, and I came here to pay a visit to Miss Yin."

Bai Qian Yuxin said that she was indeed a maid who had gone through a lot of experience in the mansion. She was usually like a second-rate maid, but her brain was really not stupid, and she was very useful at certain times.

The woman didn't react for a moment, "Are you Miss Yin's friend? I've never seen her before... her surname is Yu... Miss Yu... ah!" She suddenly reacted, and when she looked at Bai Qianyu and Bai Qianyu, her eyes changed instantly.

I had to be alert, "What are you doing here?"

"Do you care what my young lady wants to do?" Xiaohuan snorted coldly and threw her thick braid behind her back. Her expression was completely different from the previous one. "Why don't you go and call your master?"

come out!"

"This, this..." The woman seemed to be just an ordinary nanny. When she met Xiaohuan, a little expert in ruthless house fighting who had been tempered for a long time, she was immediately suffocated, sweating on her forehead,

As he walked inside, he hurriedly grabbed other servants and said, "Quick, call the security and notify Mr. Fu... that Miss Yu is coming to make trouble..."

The villa was in chaos, and when the little maid saw that there was no one in front of her, she changed her expression to a sad one, "Miss, let me tell you, what will happen when my uncle comes later..."

"You've come here, is it possible to go back? You performed well just now. Keep it up. You have to have that kind of momentum. I'll see how you perform, Miss." Bai Qianyu encouraged her, and Xiaohuan tried her best to puff up her chest with a stern face.

.

After a while, the woman ran back again, opened the door and said with a worried look, "Miss Yin invites you in for a cup of tea..."
