After dealing with the property, Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian went to visit old lady Cavendish and had not seen her for four years. During these four years, Chen Yiyan has been continuing to communicate with her. The old lady is now old and rarely teaches at Condon University. Most of the time she is cultivated at home, reading books, flowers, and basking in the sun.
Since Chen Yiyan sent her some exquisite Chinese embroidery to Pingcheng, the old lady has fallen in love with collecting Chinese embroidery pieces. Chen Yiyan often sent embroidery pieces to her during festivals and her birthdays as gifts. The old lady is very happy every time.
For old lady Cavendish, money is no longer a big problem. Not only did her husband leave a lot of property when he died, but the Cavendish family itself was a prominent family, so the old lady often gave Chen Yiyan gifts. Sometimes it was an antique jewelry from the Cavendish family, and sometimes it was a small decoration, which Chen Yiyan also liked quite a lot.
The visit of Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian made the old lady very happy. The old lady put on her reading glasses and looked at the two girls she hadn't seen for a long time, saying, "My girls, you have all become beautiful, I'm very happy to see you." The old lady combed her head neatly with silver wires, and her tone was still slow, with a hint of unique rhythm of aristocrats.
Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian gave the gifts they brought from China. Both of them brought embroidery pieces. Huang Weitian said: "I got this embroidery piece from two senior female officials who served the emperor and concubines in our country. They have been trained by the royal family since they were young and can embroider very exquisite embroidery pieces."
The old lady opened Huang Weitian's handkerchief and saw that it was two kittens playing the ball. The two kittens were cute and lifelike, which made the old lady fall in love with them instantly.
The old lady welcomed the two of them to have snacks and tea, and talked about the changes in everyone's lives over the years. The old lady said with special emotion: "It would be great if you could not leave. Seid is even more busy than his father now, and no one can chat with me, the old lady."
Chen Yi-chan said: "Then we often come to chat with you these days."
The old lady patted her hands and said, "Sometimes I think skin color, race, and class are all external things. I don't think these are important, but these things can only be understood until I've been old."
Chen Yiyu replied: "Maybe in the future, people will not care so much about race and class, and there is no big difference between nobles and civilians. Everyone is equal and can sit together and be friends."
The old lady said, "I hope there will be such a day."
In the next few days, Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian often came to see the old lady Cavendish. The old lady waited for her two oriental children with anticipation every day. Even the butler said that the wife had become much happier these days.
When Chen Yiyi went there that day, she met Minister Cavendish. They couldn't even meet Seid when they visited these days because they heard that Seid was very busy and often went home very late.
He has not seen the minister for several years, but he is still very elegant. If we count it according to Sed's age, the minister should be almost fifty years old, but he looks like he is in his early forties, with his golden hair very neatly combed. He is wearing a white shirt and a suit vest at home, and smiles when he sees Chen Yi-chan.
Chen Yi-chan even felt that if Seid gets old in the future, he might be like this. Even if he is older, he will be the most handsome middle-aged man among the Shaffer nobles.
The minister said: "Dear Miss Chen, I haven't seen you for a few years, so you are so beautiful that I can hardly bear it."
Chen Yiyan said: "Dear Minister, I'm afraid you have to call me Mrs. Wang, and I'm married."
The minister laughed: "Congratulations." Then he joined Chen Yiyan and the old lady's chat and heard Chen Yiyan talk about a lot of things in China, including the current situation of this country, etc.
Before leaving, the minister also gave her some gifts, saying that it was for her and her family, and that he also liked the snuff bottles she sent to Miss Bielson last time. Those snuff bottles were so exquisite that he couldn't let go, so he hoped to thank Chris who cared about him so much.
Seeing Chen Yiyan refuse, he also said: "I heard that in the etiquette of China, the gifts given by elders cannot be refused."
When Chen Yiyan heard what he said, she had to accept the gift.
Later, I heard Huang Weitian say that the most exciting news about Shaffer these days was that a noble girl in her early twenties was pursuing the minister's minister, which was known to everyone in the city. The minister was even forced to avoid her home. Huang Weitian also said: "If this is really successful, will Seid be called a girl's mother who is younger than him?" The two of them smiled unkindly when they thought of that scene.
The next day, Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian went to France and visited Ms. Klein specifically.
Ms. Klein entertained them in her new studio. Chen Yi-chan first thanked Ms. Klein for the wedding dress she gave her at her wedding. She said: "This wedding dress is very beautiful and I like it very much. It gave me an unforgettable wedding. Thank you."
Ms. Klein has not seen Chen Yiyan for four years. Although she has been in contact with her, because the products of her perfume production line are very stable and have good sales, so when she contacts Chen Yiyan, they usually talk about dividends and money transfers to her. Chen Yiyan is a troublesome investor, which makes Ms. Klein likes very much.
The three of them ate some French dim sum in Ms. Klein's studio, and Huang Weitian only used it politely. She was really scared to try the lady's wedding cake a few days ago, so she drank a lot of black tea.
Ms. Klein took them to visit her expanded perfume production line and newly prepared leather bag workshop. As soon as Chen Yi-chan and the others entered this leather bag workshop, they were infected by the strong work atmosphere. I saw Ms. Klein's design drawings and packaging layouts on the blackboard in front of the workshop. Each bagmaker had a good plate card in his hand. A master wearing glasses was carefully cutting his black lambskin with a knife.
After Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian visited the workflow of the bag makers, Chen Yiyan asked Ms. Klein about the production and cost of the bags. After hearing Ms. Klein's reply, Chen Yiyan said that the output was a bit low.
Ms. Klein said: "I designed a bag with good sales, but because of the sales, the bag making masters of that bag are still too busy. They can only withdraw a small number of masters from the new leather bag, and then plan to recruit some new people to join. Now they are suffering from insufficient funds and cannot expand production..."
When Chen Yiyan heard this, she smiled professionally and said, "Vivian and I are very interested in listening to you continue to talk about expanding production."
Ms. Klein also showed a reserved smile and began to tell how good the sales of the first bag she designed was, how popular it was with French women, etc. When she left the studio at night, Chen Yi-chan spent a lot of money to invest in Ms. Klein's leather bag production line. This time, because she invested a lot more than perfume, she talked about profit dividends for a long time.
After coming out, Huang Weitian said to Chen Yiyan: "Jiahe, are you planning to buy this company gradually?"
Chen Yi-chan thought about the future development, thought about the chaos in Europe during World War II and the interruption of this brand during World War II, she told Huang Weitian: "If the time is right, it is still possible to consider being the largest equity holder of the company in the future."
They stayed in France for one night. The next day, Huang Weitian took Chen Yiyan to visit the magazine "Vogue" where she interned. Huang Weitian had been internship here for a long time. She was cheerful and generous. The ladies in the magazine had a good impression of her, especially in recent years, Huang Weitian has focused on consolidating her friendship with Louisa, the editor-in-chief of the magazine. Every year on Christmas and Louisa's birthday, she would send the editor-in-chief a gorgeous gift from ancient China. In recent years, Huang Weitian and Louisa's friendship has also been good.
Editor-in-chief Louisa knew that Huang Weitian was coming, so she specially invited them to sit in the office and said to Huang Weitian: "I have read the Chinese magazines Linglong and "Bool" and these two magazines often publish photos of you two ladies. I plan to make an album of the "feminist era" in the next issue of "vogue", record the outfits and thoughts of some powerful women and show them to our readers. I wonder if the two ladies are interested in accepting interviews with our magazine?"
Huang Weitian and Chen Yiyan naturally agreed. How many fashionable women’s dream is to be on the magazine "vogue"? Huang Weitian was selected as the best dressed woman in China by "vogue" a few years ago. At that time, this incident caused a lot of shock in Pingcheng's wife circle, and Huang Weitian also held a party for it.
After taking a few flat photos of Huang Weitian and Chen Yiyan, they took a few more photos together. In front of the camera, Huang Weitian was wearing a gorgeous silk embroidered cheongsam, Chen Yiyan was wearing a professional woman's trousers, under her light gray sheep tweed high-waisted pants, a pair of lambskin high-heeled shoes, a silk high-necked lace lantern-sleeved shirt, a silk high-necked lace piled lantern-sleeved shirt, a layered pearl necklace on her neck, and a c.c sheepskin bag on her hand.
Huang Weitian sat on a large chair with black cowhide maple curves. Chen Yiyan stood beside her, put one hand on her shoulder, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the camera with a sideways glanced at her.
Huang Weitian said with a glee: "Fortunately, I haven't had a good meal these days and I lost those pounds of meat. Otherwise, I would be so fat after I was on the camera, and I wouldn't be able to stand my ugly side."
After taking the photo, the two of them wanted to stay in France for two more days to wait for the photos to come out to see the effect. As a result, they saw the Chinese newspaper a few days ago at the Chinese ambassador to France. The front page of the newspaper read "Northeast warlord Xu Weihe was assassinated, can Major General Xu Kaijiang successfully take over the power?"
The latest newspaper headline is: "Song Dinghai disarmament, Zheng Yuanshan left the seat angrily halfway through, where will the disarmament order go?"
Although the two ladies are not very concerned about political and military affairs, they have been abroad for many days. Chen Yiyu is concerned about Wang Shouyun, and Huang Weitian also misses her son Xiao Fubao, so they decided to return to China as soon as possible.
He boarded the ship and left again, and the people who saw him off were Seed and Albert. Albert also pulled Huang Weitian aside and said, "You are a person who used to be quite eye-catching, why are you so unsightly now?"
Huang Weitian snorted and muttered to him: "You want to care?"
Albert laughed at himself and said, "Yes, I can't even control it." Huang Weitian suddenly lost her voice.
Albert whispered to her again: "Vivian, I won't wait for you anymore, no more."
Huang Weitian glanced at him. From childhood to adulthood, Albert was always by her side. They met even longer than she and Li Shaoyong had known each other. They were very familiar with each other. They were very happy when they were together, and they were taking care of and accommodated each other... But these alone were not enough.
Huang Weitian said: "Well, I know."
Albert reached out and rubbed Huang Weitian's head. Huang Weitian shouted unhappily: "Where is my new hair!"
Not far away, Seid and Chen Yi-chan stood in front of the port. Seid said, "Will you leave now?" The sea breeze was a little cool today. Seid also wore a camel-colored cashmere scarf. The sea breeze blew his hair. He put his fingers back, but it did not damage his handsome face.
Chen Yi-chan said: "Well, there are too many things in China, I have to go back."
"When will we come again?" said Seid.
Chen Yi-chan said: "Maybe it will come soon next year or in a few months."
Seid laughed and said, "You can also use the words you lied to Susanna to tell me."
Chen Yi-chan said: "Believe me, I also hope to stay in Shaffer with my family and friends, but you know, this is impossible."
Seid was silent for a moment and sighed, "Yes, we all know that this is impossible." He looked at Chen Yiyan, opened his arms, and said, "My friend, separation always requires a warm hug." He hugged Chen Yiyan.
Seid's broad shoulders covered the cold sea breeze. He lowered his head slightly, printed his lips on Chen Yiyan's forehead, and then let her go, he said, "A good journey."
Chen Yi-chan smiled and said, "Okay."
Seid took off the scarf tied around his neck and wrapped it around Chen Yiyu's neck. He said: "The sea breeze is a bit loud today."
Chen Yi-chan felt the warmth brought by Seid's scarf, and she said to him: "Thank you."
Seid said again: "I think we will meet soon." He smiled. He was so handsome that when he smiled, some ladies not far away would make exclamations.
Chen Yi-chan said: "Goodbye, Seid."
Seid said: "Go up quickly, you're going to drive the boat, goodbye."
Huang Weitian and Chen Yiyan stood on the deck of the ship that made a roaring whistle and looked at the group of relatives and friends who were waving to them on the shore. They were far away, but Chen Yiyan could still see Seid standing on the shore waving to them. He was wearing a light gray coat and his upright figure made him look taller, and he could still see his handsome face.
Huang Weitian said: "Sed is really handsome. Although Wen Lan is also handsome, I have to comment objectively. Wen Lan is still less of aristocratic temperament than Sed. Sed also has a sense of knowledge and literacy accumulated from the history of the Cavendish family, which makes him look like a woman's heart pounding."
Chen Yiyan glanced at her and said, "Then why didn't you show your love to Seid back then?"
Huang Weitian said: "I just want to talk about it from a purely appreciation point of view. As the successor of the Cavendish family and the only son of the Secretary of Finance, how brave should I, a yellow-skinned Chinese, dare to challenge me?"
She glanced at Chen Yiqiu and said, "Jiahe, have you never thought about it back then?"
Chen Yiyan said quietly: "Yes, have you never thought about it..."
