Because of her different identities, Caroline was somewhat restrained when chatting, but Ms. Green would always bring up some topics of interest to her when appropriate.

"Fred is our old friend. He and George have been cooperating in the past." Ms. Green drank tea and talked about the manager of Max Department Store.

"I always thought that Manager Adler was hired to manage Meisi," Caroline asked with some surprise.

"It's okay to say that, but he is also an investor with a unique vision. He stayed in Meisi more because of the friendship between the two companies in the past. When we were in the mall, we couldn't help but do business.

And his wife has been in poor health for the past two years, and he stayed in Chicago to take care of the family.” Ms. Green explained that since she decided to let this girl be her assistant, she didn’t mind revealing more information.

Afterwards, Ms. Green led Caroline to share some views on customer activities, especially the display tea party that was decided to be held next week.

The opening of the Partridge boutique will inevitably divert customers who come to shop on Deeborn Street in the short term, but Ms. Green is more interested in its impact on the long-term development of Max department store.

The first customer event she decided to hold was to invite twelve important female customers of Max Department Store to a special tea party.

At the tea party, Ms. Green decided to introduce and introduce the "membership system" proposed by Caroline to customers. She also planned to separate a semi-enclosed space from the rest area on the third floor of the shopping mall with a screen every Thursday for members only. Free special meals are provided to member customers for one day, and a special member event is held every month.

At the same time, she also intends to provide each member with a unique membership card with her own name on it.

"Are you only going to do this event for female customers?" Caroline asked Ms. Green. She also knows that women spend more in department stores, but she is more familiar with the membership system that does not distinguish between men and women, so it is inevitable to ask come out.

"I talked to Fred about this. You know, for the gentlemen, the 'club' at Max's may not be as glamorous as the bar. At least for the first time, we intend to only target these twelve ladies and Miss. Of course, they can also bring relatives and friends. When we can have a certain influence, we will naturally consider expanding the scope of activities." Ms. Green replied with a smile, then got up and took out a leather wallet, motioning for Caroline to follow she.

Caroline followed into a living room next to the study.

"Here are some information about the customers invited to this special tea party." Ms. Green put the leather bound book in her arms in front of Caroline,

"If you're okay later, just take a look here. You can't take this kind of information away. You can write down as much as you can. If you're hungry, ring the bell and ask them to bring you some food."

In the list of customers left by Ms. Green, there are rich businessmen who Caroline once met in the mall who often come to shop, and some who have heard Vivienne gossip about her and "have been proposed to marry by all the young talents in Chicago." "Miss Fawara, and of course there are several wives Caroline has never heard of.

The information is relatively simple, only the names of these dozen customers, their general family background and the types of goods they like to buy in Meisi.Caroline is good at "rote memorization", and after an hour or two, she has almost memorized this information.In order to prevent forgetting, she read it a few more times before asking Ms. Green to return the roster.

Ms. Green asked casually, and was satisfied that Caroline could answer freely.

"I always hope that there are more girls like you around me," Ms. Green sighed. "Unfortunately, there are always limited girls around me who are talented and willing to work hard. Sometimes when I meet them, they always have too many other considerations." I have been confused by this since I was a young girl, if we can work as hard as men, how much worse will we be than them?"

Caroline pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, but did not answer.She naturally agrees with this view, but after all, people like Ms. Green should be regarded as pioneers among women in this era. The self from later generations is far less knowledgeable, tolerant and courageous than her.

"Is there any question you want to ask me?" Ms. Green asked finally.

Caroline does have some doubts about her future job content. She is not sure whether Ms. Green's offer to let herself be her assistant will make her give up her current job at the hat counter.

"I definitely hope you can come to help with customer activities. The office may sometimes need your help to deal with some things. At other times, you can stay at the hat counter if you want." Ms. Green tapped the table with her fingers ,

"Or, do you have any other ideas?"

Caroline pondered for a while, and expressed her consideration.

"I feel that I don't know enough about other counters now. If possible, I hope to know more about the counters on each floor of Meisi."

"That's fine, I'll arrange it after the end of this week." Ms. Green thought for a while and replied,

"By the way, Fred has always been in charge of the staff's salary. I have to tell him specifically every time. From now on, your salary can just come from me."

Of course Caroline would not object to this, she thanked solemnly before leaving Ms. Green's house.

Before Wednesday, Caroline was still working at the hat counter as usual, and then she would follow Ms. Green to prepare for customer events.During the period, she hinted at Vivienne and the other girls that she might leave the hat counter to be Ms. Green's assistant, and got a joke from everyone.

"I've known for a long time that Ms. Green treats you differently, and you will be lucky sooner or later." Seeing Caroline's disbelieving expression, Vivienne shook Caroline's shoulders, "I'm a little I'm jealous of you, but I seem to be more happy for you."

Caroline actually realized that she was a little nervous when she said it. She cared more about the reactions of her friends than expected. After all, this was the first batch of friends she made here.

She is determined to fight for her future, but she is also faintly worried that if one day she leaves the women's clothing area on the first floor, this small circle will quickly exclude herself.

But several girls expressed support for her.

Before the event, Caroline followed Ms. Green to check the process of the event repeatedly, confirming the specific number of guests present and various decorations on the scene.She herself was somewhat nervous, but seeing Ms. Green's confident appearance, she still calmed down.

On the day of the event, Caroline put on the work clothes newly made by Ms. Green for the employees involved in the event. Although it is also a suit with a shirt and a dark long skirt, the design is obviously more complicated and exquisite.

In the afternoon, all the twelve "members" who were invited came to the scene. Although there were only twelve female guests, because they could bring relatives and friends, there were about 20 people present, including two or three men.

The event was presided over by Ms. Green herself. She first announced the upcoming "membership" and "special membership activities" at Meisi, and then grandly introduced the special products offered at the first membership event today.

Rather than saying that this is a tea party, Caroline feels more like an "auction" for tea and snacks, because many of the invited customers come for this special product:

Two painted folding fans with ivory fan bones that once belonged to the French court.

Caroline has been standing at the front side of the event area, next to her is a chic small table with a folding fan prepared for this event.Her job today is to cooperate with Ms. Green to display products at the event, and she needs to observe the reactions of the invited guests to the event at other times.

Almost everyone in the upper class owns a folding fan, and this kind of painted ivory folding fan, which is popular among the nobles, is often in a priceless state. It is no wonder that when Caroline assisted Ms. Green to display two products, many The eyes of the lady can no longer be separated from the two boxes.

All invited members can participate in the bidding, and the highest bidder can become the owner of the product.

Soon, the two fans had found their owners.

A fan was photographed by Miss Fawohua's fiancé and given to his beloved fiancée.The other was snapped by the steel tycoon's wife, Mrs. Wayne.

Caroline carefully carried the box containing the fan across the sofas and tea tables of the guests.

"Eve Meis is really...it's good for someone to say something. When she came to invite me before, if she hadn't mentioned that she had something good, I wouldn't have come." A lady said to her friend.

"She has already changed back to her maiden surname, Eve Green." Her friend echoed.The two seemed to be whispering, but even Caroline, who was several meters away, heard it clearly.

"I think you will tell people's truths behind their backs." Mrs. Wayne, who was sitting not far away, glanced contemptuously at the two whispering, "Eve Green has at least one department store, and it's still in South America. If you have your own manor, what do you have? It would be nice if you can keep your dowry."

The two ladies glared at Mrs. Wayne, but they didn't dare to say anything more. They opened the fan in their hands to cover half of their faces and fanned it slightly, not knowing what to say.

Caroline put the painted parchment-covered ivory fracture fan in the satin gift box in her hand and sent it to the table in front of Mrs. Wayne. She bowed her head and saluted her before returning to her previous position.

This event later occupied the pages of many newspapers, and the people who came to participate also had conversations in Chicago's high society.

Not only because of the special event of Max's Department Store this time, and the "goods" it provides are of great background, but also because Ms. Fawohua and Mrs. Wayne have always been the souls of upper-class gossip and various gossip tabloids.

Overnight, Max's "Special Membership Event" has become an event that everyone in the upper class wants to participate in. Many people are wondering when the next event will be and what special products will be available at the event.
