Jin Luoluo didn’t bother with niceties and shoved her business card straight into his hand, brimming with confidence.
“Come or not, it’s up to you. But don’t speak too absolutely—because you will definitely come here to find me.”
Once he realized he’d been tricked, of course he would come to settle the score with her right away. That way, her real objective would be achieved.
“Jin Luoluo, you’re the one who shouldn’t speak too absolutely, because I will definitely not go,” Xiao Che said. He mounted his horse and galloped off without even sparing her a glance.
Jin Luoluo hurried straight to the front of her Xiangluo’er clothing shop.
Early in the morning, a stage had already been set up in the open space in front of the shop. On the stage stood a tent resembling a Mongolian yurt, and flowers were arranged all around it, creating a festive atmosphere.
Satisfied, Jin Luoluo walked into the shop and called over several managers to ask about the preparations. They each reported on their tasks and assured her that everything would be ready before the sale began.
“Okay, Lüya, have all the girls who will be performing in the new outfits gathered?” Jin Luoluo found her capable and trusted maid and began checking on the program arrangements.
“They’re already backstage doing their makeup. They’re using Qingluo-brand cosmetics and wearing the currently popular plum blossom makeup,” Lüya replied, bustling about. A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead, and her flushed little face looked especially cute.
“No, that won’t do. Plum blossom makeup has already become a huge trend in the capital. Just look around—there are women wearing it everywhere. It’s already overdone and losing its value. If we follow the crowd, it’ll be boring. In our line of work, the most important thing is to stay at the forefront of fashion. We lead trends—we don’t follow them.”
Jin Luoluo rested her chin in thought. “This time, the new women’s clothing line emphasizes lightness and elegance, giving off a fresh, pastoral spring vibe. So give them all light makeup, style their hair in a celestial maiden bun, add a crescent-shaped forehead ornament, and have them wear jade bead bracelets. In short, when they walk out, they should make people feel as refreshed as a spring breeze.”
“Got it, I’ll inform the makeup team,” Lüya said, jotting it down. Then she leaned in with a mischievous grin and asked, “Um… Miss, you stayed overnight at the prince’s residence yesterday. Did anything… special happen?”
She emphasized the word “special” with a sly smile.
