This Cheongsam Is a Unique Item Tonight's activity was sponsored by Mrs. Barron. After the opening ceremony, Mrs. Barron, who was wearing a black evening dress that was gorgeous and elegant, stood in the middle of the crowd talking to guests surrounding her. Mrs. Barron was in her fifties and was in very good shape. Her face looked young and energetic, and she was obviously a very sociable person. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking to her.
Although she was honored as Mrs. Barron, she was actually an outstanding businesswoman.
At that moment, Desmond was pulled aside by one of his acquaintances to have a big chat.
Susan gently tugged at Tina's sleeve and introduced. "Mrs. Barron owns the largest apparel enterprise in our country, which engages in both export and import business. All the brands and studios are vying to become the business partners of her company!"
Tina nodded.
She already learned about some personal information of Mrs. Barron, who was a very powerful and influential figure in the clothing industry.
Susan added, "Tina, Mrs. Barron's company is now soliciting new business partners. A great many people are watching this opportunity. Out studio also wants to get this annual cooperation contract, and therefore our goal tonight would be trying to leave a good impression on her!"
Susan's studio had been developing quite smoothly. After successful attendance of the Fashion Week last time, it had gained considerable fame in the clothing industry, yet it was far from enough.
Tina nodded. "I see!"
Susan glanced out of the corners of her eyes and snorted. She wasn't jealous of, but more like disdainful of Abby "The brand that Abby is in charge of has relatively good cooperation with Mrs. Barron's company. I definitely don't want to lose to her this time!"
Tina looked up slightly. When she was about to look over at Abby, she suddenly caught sight of a figure walking towards her. It was Maya Cherry.
Maya was lifting the hem of her skirt which originally swept the ground slightly. She said with a smile, "Miss Hall, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Maya Cherry!"
Tina felt surprised and became alert at the same time.
She did not notice any air of kindness or friendliness in Maya's eyes. She nodded calmly. "Nice to meet you too, Miss Cherry"
Maya raised her hand to flip her hair back in a charming manner. "I met you and President Chin that day in the hospital. Do you still remember? The two of you left in such a hurry that
I didn't even have time to say hello to you!"
There was a hint of deliberate provocation in Maya's tone.
Tina replied with a smile. "Well... We were in a hurry to watch a movie!"
Maya's words had an implication, indirectly suggesting that there was something fishy between Tina and Wilson. It was because of this reason that the two of them needed to leave in a hurry. Tina's words also had an implication. She wanted to indirectly point out that she and Wilson did not take Maya seriously at all.
Maya's face was darkened for a moment, but her smile soon continued. She said, "It seems that you are an apparel designer. If there is a chance, I hope I could wear a dress designed by you!"
Tina replied her with similarly hypocritical smile.
Maya had no intention of leaving right away. She kept on standing nearby, as if she was very warmhearted and friendly towards Tina.
Tina frowned.
The activity had already gone halfway through. In order to make the atmosphere more exciting, Mrs. Barron specially selected a lot of her personal collections of apparel. She ordered her assistants to display these apparels at all parts of the site for everyone to watch.
Each piece of these apparels was almost a work of art.
Everyone came forward to have a look at them, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more lively and bustling.
Tina and Susan were also attracted by these apparels, while Maya, who had been standing nearby, followed them up.
On a nearby hanger, there was a light- red cheongsam with low- grade slit. It was made of ordinary cloth, yet the embroidery style was ingenious. There was a golden peacock in his pride embroidered on the left side of the hem.
The feathers of the peacock were woven with golden threads as thin as hair. The tail of the peacock was cleverly made into a hollow shape. Under the lamplight, this cheongsam looked exquisite and pretty.
Many people were amazed by the embroidery craft. Some of them even reached out their hands and carefully touched it.
Tina could tell at a glance that this cheongsam had been made through some traditional methods.
