Shen Jianrong raised her voice in annoyance, "Dad, why do you even ask them their intentions? Which woman's heart doesn't lean towards her in-laws and children?"
"Cut off ties with them directly, no, cut off ties with Big Brother and Second Brother directly. What kind of people are they?"
"If this continues, our family will collapse even faster than the Gao family. The families of Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law's mothers are no worse than Lou Caiyun's mother's family."
"The Gong, Tang, Cai, and Wu families, these four families are all a bunch of sycophantic snobs."
"In the past, they looked down on the Shen family, saying the Shen family was inferior to the Gao family and those families, yet they used the Shen family to get projects and do business outside. The projects weren't done well, and the goods they sold had many substandard products mixed in."
"If you continue to be so soft-hearted, our family will be ruined. Don't blame me if I cut off ties with Eldest Sister and you."
Old Master Shen was sprayed by his youngest daughter but wasn't angry:
"I'm just giving them a multiple-choice question, asking them if they want their in-laws or their maiden families."
"We have to ask for their thoughts, right?"
"I will handle it. If necessary, I will do it myself."
Shen Jianrong was relieved. "Then I'll call Tian Jing. Since we know who they are, I can't just bury my head in the sand."
When Tian Jing learned the identities of the two women, she was speechless. "You didn't invite them, did you?"
"No." Shen Jianrong had always looked down on the character of these four families, so how could she invite them?
"It's not impossible that they'll come uninvited. I'll warn those two nieces."
Tian Jing's eyes rolled as she asked, "Your four nieces are all married off, right?"
Shen Jianrong nodded. "Yes, the other two families are surnamed Cai and Wu. They are businessmen. My Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law only care about their money."
"Hehe," Tian Jing chuckled softly. "Tell your two nieces to tell their husbands' families not to attend the wedding."
"The reason, of course, is because these two families offended me, and I'm angry. So, I'm taking it out on the other two families as well."
"Is that okay?" Although it would cause dissatisfaction between the Cai and Wu families and the Tang and Gong families, using Tian Jing's name made Shen Jianrong feel a bit ungenerous.
"It's fine, just say that." Tian Jing didn't care. "With my background, they wouldn't look up to any of them. They just want to curry favor with me for profit. They won't care about my temperament. Perhaps they even think that this is the kind of outcome a country bumpkin like me, a foreigner, would want."
"Tian Jing," Shen Jianrong blushed, "I was too presumptuous. I thought a shop should emphasize harmony to create wealth..."
Tian Jing comforted her, "It's alright, it has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it. Since ancient times, people have respected wealth before appearance. It's just that we're dressed too plainly."
Shen Jianrong disagreed with Tian Jing. "No, that's completely wrong. If the clothes aren't suitable, if the clothes aren't high-end enough, why would they go to their formal wear shop?"
Tian Jing said indifferently, "But the salespeople and the manager don't think so. Alright, don't let these irrelevant people affect your mood. Let's continue trying on clothes. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Jing waved to the salesperson who had been soliciting her.
When the salesperson approached, Tian Jing asked, "Don't you think we look unfashionable and unsuitable for buying this kind of clothing?"
"That's not how it works," the salesperson shook her head. "You're carrying bags and bags, which means you're genuinely looking to buy clothes."
"Judging by your age, you should be a family. A family entering a formal wear shop together means you're looking for attire for an important occasion, most likely a wedding."
"If you're attending a wedding, whether you're guests from the groom's side or the bride's side, you have to look presentable."
"Each guest needs a full outfit, and if you add brooches, handbags, and shoes, ten guests mean ten outfits."
"Two to three days of revenue. If I don't try to attract you into the store, I'd be an idiot."
"Hehe," Tian Jing was amused by the salesperson's frankness. "Well said. Your mind and reactions are very sharp."
As she spoke, she asked her daughter to get a business card and handed it to the salesperson:
"If you want to change your life's direction, you can call the number on this card."
The salesperson respectfully took the card with both hands. Upon seeing that it was for Jingyuan Real Estate Company, she immediately pursed her lips and solemnly put the card into her pocket.
Tian Jing nodded secretly. "Alright, you go give them some suggestions. I'll look around myself."
The salesperson respectfully took two steps back before going to serve Li Min and the others.
Tian Jing sat beside her daughter. "I think she's more suitable to be a secretary or an assistant. If her education is low, she can be a personal assistant. She has excellent judgment."
Li Weili had also been observing this salesperson. She was also a bit curious about this clever salesperson.
She had heard the conversation between her mother and the salesperson, and when she heard her mother's arrangement, she agreed.
"If she comes, I'll have her start from the bottom."
Tian Jing nodded. "Yes, she needs to be tempered from the ground up to be suitable for important responsibilities. Remember to have Lu Shi check her background."
Han Lushi, who had been accompanying Li Weili, spoke up. "Mom, don't worry. I've already checked the three secretaries in the secretarial office."
Tian Jing nodded. "What about your formal wear? Have you prepared it?"
"It's ready." Han Lushi nodded with a smile. "We chose Chinese style formal wear with a raised waistline. It's currently being made."
Tian Jing pointed to the clothes in the shop. "Then let's pick a few Korean-style outfits here to change into when toasting."
"Okay." Han Lushi helped Li Weili get up to pick.
Tian Jing went to Ouyang Meihua's side to watch her mother-in-law try on clothes.
This time, her mother-in-law was also trying on a cheongsam dress.
The fabric was dark purple silk, with only small golden peony flowers embroidered on the collar and the slanted placket.
She wore a matching light-colored silk shawl over it.
Tian Jing praised, "This one is even better. It's noble and elegant, and it really suits Mom's complexion."
Mother Li was also very satisfied. "Let's go with this one."
Tian Jing nodded. "We'll wear this for Xiao Bo's wedding. Then, let's pick another plainer one for Lili's wedding."
"Hehe." Li Min chuckled. "So, we'll each have two outfits?"
"Whatever." Tian Jing was indifferent. "But you have to consider the atmosphere in that mountainous area of ours. Don't buy something and then wear your floral cotton clothes to the banquet."
Li Min shook her head. "That won't happen. I'll choose one that I can wear in my daily life, so I won't feel awkward."
With this selection, except for Ouyang Lei and his son, the other sixteen men, women, and children each received two sets of formal wear.
They also picked two sets of outfits for Li Weihao, Li Weiyan, and Li Weixin, one for a groomsman and one for a regular formal wear.
Forty sets of formal wear, forty pairs of men's and women's leather shoes, and quite a few brooches, cufflinks, and handbags were also matched.
The salespeople, as they packed, grinned. Such a large business had been sent to them by the neighboring store, and the neighboring store was such a good person.
Since Tian Jing and her group had already purchased many clothes before entering the store, they couldn't carry them all by hand.
The store manager, along with two salespeople, brought folding handcarts to help them transport the items to the parking lot.
The manager of the neighboring store was a bit stunned after Mrs. Tang's mother said they should apologize to those foreigners.
She asked the salesperson if she knew who those foreigners were.
The salesperson shook her head. If she had known their background, would the current situation have occurred?
However, "Manager, the bank card is a dark gold VIP card."
"What?" The manager screamed in frustration, then scolded the salesperson fiercely.
She blamed the salesperson for not having any foresight, and for not reminding her when she came.
The salesperson was speechless. What could she have reminded the manager of?
