Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 97: Zhuang Ji

There were more than a dozen upgraded work tables in the workroom.

Mu Chen explained, “This place is isolated. Customers in the exhibition hall will be able to see the employees working, but they won’t be able to enter to avoid disturbing the employees. Being able to see the employees work will allow the customers to immerse themselves in the experience…”

After that, Mu Chen led them to the second floor. As soon as they reached the second floor, they saw a spacious open lounge with a huge circular sofa. The place was quiet so it was suitable for those who wanted to sit and chat or for those who just needed a quiet moment. Behind the lounge was a private changing room, and on the left was the VIP reception hall. Finally, on the right was a spacious meeting hall.

Mu Chen continued to explain again, “Zhuang Ji will continue to operate in the way it operated in the past. We’ll only take high-end custom orders from customers, and give our customers an amazing experience. Apart from the necessary matters, most of our focus will be on the art of embroidery itself and not on the business side of things.”

Song Ning took a seat as she looked around. She was filled with praise as she said, “It’s really too beautiful. Moreover, it feels cozy as well. I really don’t feel like leaving at all…”

Mu Chen smiled and said, “You should focus on becoming a daughter. Managing Zhuang Ji isn’t a suitable job for you…”

Song Ning smiled sheepishly. Indeed, her business acumen was not extraordinary.

Jiang Jin patted her hand as she said, “It’s okay! You have Grandma! I promise to support you with everything I have!”

Mu Chen smiled. “Grandma, I have a mission for you.”

Jiang Jin said confidently, “It’s not a problem. Just tell me what you need me to do…”

After Mu Chen took a seat across from Song Ning and Jiang Jin, he said, “We’ll organize a three-day exhibition. There will be three groups of guests invited to each day of the exhibition respectively. Since this is our first exhibition, we want to make a strong impact. Grandma, for the first day of the exhibition, I’ll leave the guestlist to you. Just ten people will do…”

Jiang Jin’s eyes widened. “Ten people? You’re only letting me invite ten people? Isn’t that number too small? Impossible! I have a long list of people to invite!”

Mu Chen waved his hand. “Grandma, this time I can only give you ten invitations. Moreover, you can’t tell people Zhuang Ji is your granddaughter-in-law’s business. Just invite them here; there’s no need for you to do any marketing. I believe the ten people you invite will spread the news to 100 people when they leave. If we invite too many people, our products will no longer seem exclusive and would go down in value.”

Realization dawned on Jiang Jin after she listened to Mu Chen’s explanation. “I see. You have a point. Okay! I understand!”

Song Ning looked at Mu Chen in a daze. “You… This method is a little… a little…”

Jiang Jin said, “Is a little?”

Song Ning shook her head slightly. She could not think of a suitable word for it. She only felt Mu Chen was doing a lot for Zhuang Ji. It was beyond her expectations.

Jiang Jin patted her hand. “Silly child, this is why we should leave this to the professional. There’s no need for you to worry about anything. When the time comes, you just need to dress up beautifully and follow Grandma…”

Mu Chen smiled before he continued to say, “Cheng Che and I will be responsible for the guestlist on the second day. There won’t be many people as well. On the third day…” He paused and looked at Song Ning before he continued to say, “On the third day, we’ll invite a few famous actors, directors, and fashion designers. Song Ning, if you’re unwilling, you don’t have to make an appearance.”

Song Ning nodded. “Alright. Then, I won’t make an appearance.”

Mu Chen nodded and did not force her.

Jiang Jin turned to look at Song Ning. “My granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful and talented. It’s such a pity she’s not interested in acting.”

Song Ning smiled and leaned on Jiang Jin’s shoulder as she said, “Grandma, I was just lucky I met a good writer and good scriptwriter. In the end, I still prefer attending to patients…”

Jiang Jin patted her head. “Alright, alright. Then, we’ll leave this all to Mu Chen.”

Song Ning looked at Mu Chen with a red face.

Mu Chen smiled and said, “After this, Zhuang Ji will officially open. An Ran will be in charge of operations, and Cheng Che will temporarily oversee the business. After everything stabilizes, he’ll find a suitable candidate to take over before he withdraws…”

Song Ning straightened her back and said, “Cheng Che has been working so hard for Zhuang Ji. When he has free time, I’ll cook and treat him to a meal…” She could not help but recall the unpleasantness of their last meal due to Su Tong’s sudden appearance.

Upon seeing the change in Song Ning’s expression, Mu Chen said teasingly, “If you treat Cheng Che so well, I’ll get jealous!”

Song Ning regained her senses upon hearing these words and forced a smile on her face.

Jiang Jin patted her hand and tactfully changed the topic. “Cheng Che is a good child. Grandma is very happy that both of you treat him so well. Mu Chen isn’t very close to the younger generation in the Mu family, but he’s close to Cheng Che.”

Upon hearing this, Song Ning asked with a smile, “Grandma, do you know that Cheng Che likes Jiahui?”

Jiang Jin’s eyes widened; she was pleasantly surprised. “No wonder Cheng Che seems extra nice to Jiahui. As it turns out, he likes Jiahui. Jiahui is a good girl. I’m really happy today!”
