Chapter 369 Choosing a Wedding Dress
Shi Hang and Sun Jin were both taken aback.
Fang Li: "However, if Li Yun needs your participation in any projects, you cannot refuse; you must cooperate with Li Yun."
"......"
Seeing that the two were still hesitant, Wen Yang chuckled and said, "Have you thought this through? Such a good opportunity won't come again if you miss it."
Sun Jin looked at Shi Hang beside him.
Shi Hang stared at the numbers on the document, his fingers trembling slightly.
It must be said that the price Fang Li offered far exceeded the market valuation.
If a merger occurs, given the conditions offered by Liyun, the benefits to Xingyu will definitely outweigh the restrictions.
but........
The two remained silent and hesitated for a long time before Shi Hang slowly closed the document.
"Ms. Xu, although the conditions you've offered are very tempting, Xingyu is the culmination of our hard work and dedication; it can't be measured in money. We still don't want to..."
"understand."
Fang Li wasn't surprised, and smiled and nodded: "You two can take your time to consider it. The filming schedule for *The Path of the Divine Emperor* will be the deadline. I'll give you the opportunity to back out at any time before filming wraps up. However..."
Fang Li slowly stood up, supporting herself on the table. The smile on her lips faded slightly. She said, "At that time, it won't be a merger and acquisition contract, but an acquisition contract."
"......"
---
Why are you scaring them?
On my way back to Liyun after leaving Xingyu Media.
Yu Tian was driving, and Fang Li and Wen Yang were sitting in the back seat. Wen Yang asked, puzzled.
Fang Li flipped through the documents in her hand without looking up and said, "What's so scary about this? It's just to let them know that opportunities won't always wait for them, and once they miss them, they'll have to pay the price for their regrets."
Wen Yang chuckled and shook her head: "But didn't you say you admired these two young people and didn't intend to make things difficult for them?"
"How can this be called a dilemma?"
Fang Li put away the documents, turned to look at Wen Yang and said, "I'm helping them."
"help?"
Fang Li raised an eyebrow: "Help them see just how treacherous this society is under the control of profit-seeking capital, and let them see just how fragile their stubbornness and persistence really are."
"......"
-
The three returned to Liyun, after lunchtime.
Yu Tian went to park the car, and as soon as the two entered the lobby, Fang Li sensed that something was wrong.
As she expected, things went exactly as she predicted.
A voice soon came from the nearby rest area.
"Daughter-in-law!"
Fang Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Ruyan and her assistant An Qi.
"......mom?"
Fang Li was surprised and quickly went to greet her: "What brings you here?"
"I came to see you."
As soon as they passed by, Shen Ruyan naturally took Fang Li's hand and said, "By the way, let me tell you about the specifics of your wedding with Xiu Jin."
Fang Li was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat apologetically, "Since you're here, why didn't you call me or come up?"
"It's not that I was afraid of bothering you. I saw that it was almost time for you to have lunch, so I thought I'd wait here and maybe I'd run into you coming downstairs."
Shen Ruyan smiled with a hint of playfulness: "Look, here we are, running into you."
Fang Li smiled helplessly, then, as if remembering something, she quickly turned around and pointed to Wen Yang, saying, "By the way, let me introduce you, this is my friend, Wen Yang."
Shen Ruyan looked at Wen Yang, her eyes brightening slightly, "You're Yangyang?!"
Wen Yang was somewhat flattered, "Auntie, you... know me?"
"of course."
Shen Ruyan said familiarly, "I often hear Lili mention you, and I saw you helping Lili punish those bad women at the trade center last time!"
"what?"
Wen Yang looked at Fang Li somewhat embarrassedly, "Were you there at the time?"
Shen Ruyan nodded seriously, "Of course I was there, otherwise how would I know that Lili was being bullied like this while I was away!"
"..." This was the first time Wen Yang had met Shen Ruyan.
She never expected that the legendary jewelry design master, the founder of Han's Jewelry, and the biological mother of the dignified President Han, would have such a... frank personality.
She laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, indeed...you're right."
"Um, Fang Li, I still have work to do, so I'll go upstairs first. You stay here with your aunt."
Fang Li nodded.
Shen Ruyan smiled and waved at her: "Go ahead, go ahead, Lili, I'm here for you, don't worry."
"..." Wen Yang really wanted to say that she was indeed quite relieved.
Having a mother-in-law like that is a blessing that many daughters-in-law could only dream of.
-
"Let's go."
As soon as Wen Yang left, Shen Ruyan pulled Fang Li outside.
Fang Li asked in confusion, "Go? Where to?"
"I found a bridal shop and made an appointment for this afternoon to go and choose a wedding dress."
"Choose? Choose a wedding dress?"
Are you in such a hurry?
The date hasn't been set yet, has it?
Without giving Fang Li a chance to react or refuse, Shen Ruyan, in a daze, shoved her into the car.
By the time she realized what was happening, the car had already started moving and heading towards the wedding dress shop.
The wedding dress shop that Shen Ruyan found was hidden in a quaint old house in the suburbs.
This family, surnamed Wang, is said to have been tailors for generations. They started their business during the Republic of China era and have been doing so for over a hundred years.
The family owns several clothing brands, mainly focusing on wedding dresses, cheongsams, and men's custom-made suits.
Many celebrities from Beijing, the whole country, and even the world have commissioned them to make clothes.
Unfortunately, this store mainly only makes custom-made clothing for familiar or close customers.
Even the wealthiest people can only afford to buy ready-made clothes from brand stores.
This only refers to ordinary cheongsams and suits; if it's a wedding dress, even regular customers will find it difficult to book one.
When Fang Li and Shen Ruyan arrived, the entire massive old house was unusually quiet.
As soon as the two arrived at the door, three people were already standing there waiting.
"Miss Ruyan."
Fang Li was surprised; this was the first time she had ever heard someone call Han Xi's mother "Miss Ruyan."
Logically, shouldn't we call her Mrs. Han or Ms. Shen?
Just as she was wondering, one of the men, dressed in a well-tailored suit, smiled respectfully and said, "Grandma has been waiting for you. Knowing that you were bringing your daughter-in-law today, she specially skipped her afternoon nap."
"How can we keep the old lady waiting! Quickly, take us inside."
Shen Ruyan's attitude puzzled Fang Li even more.
However, as they entered the old house and saw the old lady sitting in the main seat of the hall, Fang Li gradually understood why Shen Ruyan was so nervous.
There sat an elderly woman with snow-white hair who looked to be over ninety years old. Because of her advanced age, her body had become very thin.
Despite this, she still wore a deep purple carved cheongsam, with a tassel shawl draped over her shoulders. Her white hair was neatly combed back, and her well-maintained face was lightly powdered, making her look energetic and showing no signs of aging.
In an instant, Fang Li suddenly understood what it meant to age gracefully.
