I earn really hard money

Chapter 256 Big Sister's Service
After lunch, everyone went about their own activities.

The interior layout of the manor house is like a huge maze.

I don't know the identity of the first-generation manor owner. There are more than 60 bedrooms of various levels, which is enough for [-] to [-] people to live, and this does not include the living area for servants!
He Xia didn't let Lawyer Zhang and others go to the hotel, just arrange a room at random. They are all accompanying people, so it is inconvenient to live far away.

"What are your plans for the afternoon?"

He Xia asked Zhou Shiyu.

The Mediterranean Sea in the afternoon was a little calm. The two stood on the private beach and looked out at the sea. Seabirds flew by in the distant sky, yachts floated on the sea, and parasols and tourists could be faintly seen on the beach farther away.

"Huh? I don't have any plans. I came here in a hurry. I didn't bring my notebook. I'm considering whether to go back to England early."

Zhou Shiyu found that she walked out of the laboratory by herself. If she hadn't listened to the auntie nanny and found a bodyguard to follow, she might have lost herself, and she felt so boring away from those experimental equipment and laptops...

The most important thing is that it is difficult to find a suitable topic with someone, and she doesn't know how to chat without the topics she is familiar with.

He Xia shook her head with a smile, her younger sister is extremely shrewd in all aspects, and her older sister walked out of the laboratory like a fool...

"Professor Smith is busy with things in the laboratory, so don't rush back. I'm going to a reception tomorrow night, and I haven't brought any decent clothes. I plan to go shopping in the afternoon. Are you interested?"

Zhou Shiyu looked at He Xia and said, "Is it a very formal reception?"

He Xia thought for a while, then nodded, "That's right."

"The kind that men wear suits and women wear evening gowns?" Zhou Shiyu continued to ask, her eyes brighter than before.

"Well, probably, I do plan to buy two formal suits, at least it won't look weird."

He Xia has never attended a formal reception, but that's what it looks like on TV.

Zhou Shiyu said earnestly: "You need to use it tomorrow night, so it's definitely too late to make a custom-made suit. Now you can only buy ordinary suits, which definitely won't fit you well, and it's too hasty!"

He Xia was surprised. Apart from talking about the experiment, Zhou Shiyu, who usually seemed like a gourd, suddenly started talking too much, and what she said made sense.

"Looks like you have a better idea?"

Zhou Shiyu smiled lightly and said: "It's not a solution, it's just a suggestion, that, actually, I want to say, if you choose the clothes yourself, there may be cases where the matching is not in place."

"A friend of mine opened a clothing consultant studio, and she has a very stable grasp of clothing products. Do you need her help? Of course, I am just making a small suggestion. If you have your own clothing consultant, take it for granted. .”

"Dress consultant? Is it just to teach people how to dress?"

He Xia asked curiously, he was a bit unfamiliar with this kind of occupation.

Zhou Shiyu nodded: "Yes, she is my high school classmate and a good friend. She studied fashion design in Milan before, but she didn't have much talent, ho ho (smiling), and later changed her career to become a fashion consultant, but the business is good."

Because I like clothing, I devoted myself to the fashion design profession. Unfortunately, I have no creative talent, but I have a unique vision and are very good at giving advice to others.

"Well, are there many people who need this kind of service?"

He Xia didn't quite understand.

"I usually see her tweets, and the business is pretty good. The main service targets are celebrities and rich people, and she also helps the rich to contact tailor shops for handmade customization. This is her business scope."

"For example, some rich people or politicians will hire a special dress consultant. Of course, they can also serve several companies at the same time. It is similar to the relationship of affiliation. My dad hired one. Before attending important occasions, he will ask the consultant to help Design and wear."

He Xia thought in his heart that the only people who have high requirements for dressing are the celebrities and the rich. He joked: "It's good to make friends with you, and I always want to help friends get business."

Zhou Shiyu lowered her head slightly when she heard He Xia's words, adjusted her hat, and said, "No, if you don't need it, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

She just wanted to find something to talk about, and she had no intention of helping her friend solicit business at all.

He Xia was slightly taken aback, wondering if this young lady is too boring, she couldn't understand a joke, and said: "Yes, your proposal has solved my big trouble, why don't I need it!"

"really?"

Zhou Shiyu asked innocently.

He Xia prefers mature women, even if they are like Zhou Shiliu who can be easily pissed off. Zhou Shiyu is not young, and a woman who is too naive in interpersonal communication makes him feel a little confused...

"Of course it's true... By the way, where is your friend, who provides online services?"

Zhou Shiyu took out her mobile phone and said, "Her studio is in Andorra, which is very close to here. I'll give her a call!"

"Andorra..."

He Xia looked at Zhou Shiyu who was walking aside to make a phone call, and silently chanted the place name, which felt very familiar, but couldn't remember it.

After chanting a few more words, he finally remembered that because of the initials, many of his WeChat friends are in Andorra...

"Is Andor around here? Si, ​​uh..."

He Xia turned around subconsciously, and wanted to ask about Lu Qian's situation in Andor, only to realize that Lu Qian was not with her, so she took out her mobile phone to check.

In the past, he always saw his friends in Andorra on WeChat, and never cared about it. Now someone mentioned it, which aroused his curiosity.

"Hey, what a small country."

He Xia saw an introduction on the Internet that the Principality of Andorra is a landlocked country at the junction of France and Spain, with a total area of ​​only 460 square kilometers, which is almost as large as the Chaoyang District of the capital city of China...

It's really not far from Barcelona. The straight-line distance is only about [-] kilometers. If the traffic conditions are good, it's just a little over an hour's drive.

The country of Andorra was a buffer state established by the Charlemagne Empire on the Spanish border to prevent Moorish harassment in the ninth century. Today, the country's total population is only 7.

Although the place is small and the population is small, it is a highly developed country with a well-developed tourism industry and a per capita GDP of up to [-] euros!
At the same time, there is almost no income tax in Andorra, which is also known as a tax haven.

Seeing this, He Xia thought, maybe this is the reason why Zhou Shiyu's friend chose to register a studio in Andorra...

He Xia had learned about the general situation in Andorra, and Zhou Shiyu also got in touch.

"My friend is driving over, very quickly."

"Coming to Barcelona from Andorra can be regarded as going abroad, so you just come here?"

He Xia asked.

Zhou Shiyu looked at He Xia suspiciously, and said, "France and Spain are responsible for the national defense of Andorra, and the leaders are also the dignitaries of the two countries. It is a very special situation."

"In addition, my friend has already been naturalized, so it is very convenient to enter and exit many European countries, and there are almost no procedures."

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a blue Porsche Panamera convertible parked beside the bronze lion fountain.

The car door opened, a pair of high-heeled shoes were placed on the ground, and then a pair of slender, white legs stretched out of the car door. After putting on the shoes, someone got out of the car and looked at the person who came out of the villa.

"Wenwen!"

Zhou Shiyu waved to Qiao Wenwen.

He Xia looked at Qiao Wenwen who got out of the car from a distance. She was 1.7 meters tall and wore a blue-gray short skirt that reached her knees. Her upper body was lined with a white shirt and she was wearing an open-collar suit.

The place that should be thin is very thin, and the place that should have meat has meat. It can be seen that it is very majestic from more than ten meters away, which is not much worse than my own little housekeeper!

"Shi Yu, I miss you so much. I'm going to Savile Row at the end of the month. I plan to go to Cambridge to find you. I didn't expect you to come to Barcelona..."

The girlfriends got bored with the sweetness for a while, Zhou Shiyu smiled and said: "This is the He Xia I introduced to you, the owner of the Valencner Manor, um...we are partners."

Originally, Zhou Shiyu wanted to introduce in a little more detail, but after receiving it, he found that he didn't know He Xia well, as if he didn't even know if he was from the capital, so he didn't say much.

In the process of getting closer, He Xia observed Qiao Wenwen.

From the car, watch and bag, it can be seen that the family is well-off. The earrings, glasses and clothes match well. The lipstick color is also very particular. The gestures are very elegant. They should be professionally trained, natural and not rigid.

From the first impression, such a delicate woman as a dress consultant gives people inexplicable confidence!
With an inexplicable smile on the corner of Qiao Wenwen's mouth, she was also looking at He Xia.

In terms of appearance, He Xia is naturally not bad. In terms of temperament, a few months ago, he looked a little like Dios. Now the aura of wealth and nobility is gushing out from the sky, and the aura of wealth and youth is self-evident, but in the eye contact, there is a kind of Qiao Wenwen felt strange.

Ruthless?

This is too inconsistent...

He Xia doesn't know what the other party is thinking. If he knows, he will be very surprised, because in the real world, he will hide the kind of disposition that he only has in other worlds. will not be revealed.

It's a pity that Qiao Wenwen's ability to detect words and emotions is too strong.

She has been around dignitaries and celebrities for a long time, and her emotional intelligence and ability to hide emotions are a hundred times stronger than Zhou Shiyu's, and she doesn't show what she thinks on her face at all.

"Good afternoon, Mr. He, you make me unexpectedly young and handsome!"

He Xia and Qiao Wenwen hugged gently.

Zhou Shiyu shrugged and said, "Wenwen, we are all friends, you don't need to be so formal, it's weird..."

The Qiao Wenwen she knew was not the same person as the Qiao Wenwen she met with clients.

He Xia also said: "Yes, you don't have to be so outspoken, just call me He Xia, we are all acquaintances."

Qiao Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned her arms slightly on her chest, like a steamed bun about to come out of the cage, she nodded and said, "You are the boss, listen to you."

"Come on, let's talk inside."

He Xia raised her hand to signal everyone to enter the villa.

The guests and hosts were seated in the small living room, Qiao Wenwen said: "He Xia, Shi Yu said that you are going to a reception tomorrow night and you need a suit that fits you, right?"

Without unnecessary greetings, Qiao Wenwen went straight to the topic, because the time was relatively tight.

He Xia liked this kind of communication efficiency, and nodded her head to show that she was right.

Qiao Wenwen took out the tablet and electronic pen from her bag, and said: "Can you tell me the general situation of the reception, such as the theme, participants, and venue, the more detailed the better, of course, if it involves secrets, don't tell me."

He Xia shook his head slightly and said that there was no secret, and said: "In Marina Porterville Yacht Harbor, the sponsor of the yacht reception is the contemporary heir of the Farolio Group. As for the participants, I don't know the specific list, they should be all business people."

"What a coincidence." Qiao Wenwen showed a smile, raised her hand to adjust her glasses, and said, "I know about this reception. Yesterday, a client also asked me for advice on dressing for this reception."

He Xia suddenly felt that the world was a bit small, and asked casually, "Who is it?"

After asking, I felt that it seemed inappropriate, so I waved my hand and said, "You must keep information for customers, right?"

Qiao Wenwen made a vivid expression, shook her head and said, "The object of keeping information will not be friends and customers. After all, when I promote, I will say that I serve so and so. One of the young owners of the French Lactalis company."

He Xia was slightly taken aback, and if he asked, he didn't ask, because he didn't know what Lactalis was at all.

Qiao Wenwen saw He Xia's situation at a glance, and continued: "Lactalis is a pharmaceutical company in France. The owner of the company, Emmanuel Besnier, has assets of 140 billion euros and is the ninth richest man in France."

"Rich man..."

He Xia said with emotion, and by the way silently calculated his assets in his heart, and finally came to the conclusion that it seemed to be slightly higher than Emmanuelle Besnier, with 200 billion US dollars, which means he could rank in the French rich list into the top ten.

"OK, He Xia, considering the type of reception, the participants, and the venue, I will give you several plans, and you can decide for yourself. Usually, there is only one plan. After all, you are Shi Yu's friend, acquaintance, here You have three plans."

Qiao Wenwen said generously.

He Xia felt that this sister was interesting and funny, and said with a smile, "Tell me the service fee first, and if I don't know if you charge me three times the price, wouldn't it be a big loss!"

"You... this kind of questioning makes me so sad, I have clearly marked the price of my sisters, Shi Yu, please speak up for me!"

Qiao Wenwen's elegance depends entirely on acquired training. If she deals with people on those occasions that pay attention to etiquette, she will become very ladylike and elegant. After getting acquainted with the conversation, even the Beijing accent came out!
Zhou Shiyu sat on the side holding a coffee cup and watched the two talking with a smile, without interrupting at all, just shaking her head, as if to say, I don't know, I just watch the excitement...

"Okay, okay, just kidding, don't take it seriously, come up with a plan for me, it's the first time I enjoy this kind of service, don't let me down."

He Xia laughed and joked, thinking that Qiao Wenwen was very funny.

"It's the first time?" Qiao Wenwen said with a pun, looked at He Xia with very serious eyes, and couldn't help nodding.

He Xia seldom felt uncomfortable in front of women. Even when she was so poor in the past, she was just too lazy to make fun of herself. She had never been embarrassed by women, but Qiao Wenwen's eyes made her feel embarrassed strange.

Qiao Wenwen took out a very delicate measuring tape from her bag, walked up to He Xia,
"Come on, stand up and let me measure!"

　Here we go again, 120 hours, hahaha!
