Zhou Wang returned to 7001 Spring Eye Subtower accompanied by Chen Mei, and indeed found four people waiting in the outdoor garden.
Two Huaxia people, two foreigners.
One of the Huaxia people was Lin Dong, an Hermes sales representative Zhou Wang had met before, known by the English name Lincoln, and the only male luxury goods sales representative Zhou Wang knew.
His role at Hermes was not simply about sales; in fact, Zhou Wang felt it was more appropriate to call him a public relations manager, and among the salespeople Zhou Wang had encountered, his conversation and demeanor were the best.
Because the "workwear" prepared by the system for Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian was handled by Lin Dong, Jiang Qingkui had already dealt with him, and during a casual chat last time, she told Zhou Wang...
This Lin Dong’s elder sister was currently the assistant to the CEO of Hermes Greater China, stationed in Magic City.
Given Hermes’s straightforward direct management structure, Lin Dong’s sister, although nominally an assistant, practically had executive powers, which Zhou Wang realized after hearing this.
In a sense, the Lin Dong in front of him was also an "heir" honing his skills at the grassroots level; presumably, he would rotate through every basic position, but afterward, he would inevitably rise to a higher position.
"Mr. Zhou, you’ve returned!"
Seeing Zhou Wang, Lin Dong enthusiastically walked over and kept shaking hands with him.
Lin Dong initially befriended Zhou Wang because he valued Zhou Wang’s consumer potential, but until that day, his sister called and unexpectedly mentioned Zhou Wang’s name, which she had seen on an internal Hermes list, prompting the call...
All in all, this series of events considerably elevated Zhou Wang’s status in Lin Dong’s mind, otherwise Jiang Qingkui contacting him just two days ago theoretically couldn’t have allowed him to coordinate everything so quickly.
This prestigious tailor, Mr. Gabriel from France, held a significant position within Hermes.
Among the over 4,000 artisans at Hermes, he was certainly noteworthy.
Mr. Gabriel was even still in Paris the evening before; he had taken a long flight to Beidou yesterday and then rushed from Beidou to Ming City, landing just around midnight...
"Mr. Gabriel, hello, hello..."
Zhou Wang initially thought he might need a translator, given his own clumsy English, but unexpectedly, this master tailor spoke fluent Mandarin from the start.
"Mr. Zhou, very pleased ’scissors’ you, you’re truly impressive, elegantly handsome!"
"Holy crap, your Chinese is so fluent?"
Zhou Wang exclaimed, "But I guess you meant to say handsome, right..."
"Mr. Gabriel has frequently traveled to Huaxia over the past several years, serving numerous clients, leading him to learn Chinese specifically."
Lin Dong explained with a smile.
"Yes, I really like Huaxia, it’s my second homeland."
Gabriel remarked with a smile, and this sentence was very precise, indicating he said it regularly...
After the courteous exchange, Lin Dong had his assistant bring over two suitcases.
"Mr. Zhou, I selected several pieces of advanced ready-to-wear for you based on your measurements left with us at Hermes and the events you plan to attend. Rest assured, although they are ready-to-wear, they only appeared in one spring fashion show and haven’t officially launched yet..."
"Once the tailor measures your numbers, Mr. Gabriel will make some adjustments to ensure they fit as closely as possible..."
"With our Hermes’s commitment to excellence, even a custom suit jacket requires at least 200 hours of hand sewing, so a complete custom piece is not feasible in time..."
"Would you find this proposal acceptable?"
Just as Zhou Wang was about to respond after listening to Lin Dong’s explanation, the elevator opened, and another group of people, accompanied by another property staff member, entered the garden.
This group also dressed in appropriate formal attire consisted of four people, but only one woman was Huaxia, and the other three were foreigners as well.
To Zhou Wang’s surprise, the tailor from Hermes clearly recognized one of the foreigners and, after a moment of surprise, exchanged greetings with him.
"Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Mina, the brand representative from Kiton. We are here because the two suits you ordered have been expedited and completed, but since some detailed data is missing, we need to have the tailor measure you again..."
"Hold on!"
Zhou Wang interrupted her in confusion, "If I remember correctly, I don’t think I ordered suits from you guys?"
"Perhaps you will understand after seeing this greeting card..."
Mina wasn’t surprised and simply handed over a card tied with a bow.
Zhou Wang opened the card and saw a line of graceful illuminated handwriting:
"Happy Valentine’s Day, my white ’moonlight’! (Timing is challenging, might be a couple of days late.)"
Ding Yi...
Even without a signature, seeing the words "white moonlight" made Zhou Wang understand.
After using Jiang Mo’s incident as an opportunity to lay everything on the table with Ding Yi last time, their contact had diminished significantly, no longer maintaining daily communication as before.
However, thinking back now, it seemed it was mostly Zhou Wang himself consciously reducing contact with Ding Yi.
After all, in his subconscious, he didn’t believe Ding Yi would be willing to have any long-term development with him after learning part of his "true self"...
