Baguettes and Macarons

=====================

Jean-Luc, like a knight in armor, raised his head and chest stiffly, not daring to move.Seeing him like this, Yu Chen couldn't help laughing: "Did we cut the clothes too tight? Can you still move?"

Jean-Luc woke up like a dream, waved his arms twice, and murmured: "It's not tight at all, it's very convenient."

Yu Chen smiled and said, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied." Jean-Luc tore up and down the new suit with a blushing face, and finally stammered his thanks, "Thank you, sir."

Yu Chen patted his head: "It should be. But I still have to receive Mrs. Ai Lei, can you please sit in the store for a while, and settle the payment after I finish the work at hand?"

Jean-Luc immediately replied: "Okay. Can I use the mirror in the fitting room?"

"Please." Yu Chen replaced him and sat on the beauties, took out a binder from under the coffee table, and stretched out his hand to Mrs. Ai Lei, "Did you bring Yuya's design draft? I want to see the two exchanges Condition."

Mrs. Alley took out a stack of documents from the exquisite handbag and gave him a stack. He praised, "Your handbag is very suitable for today's collocation", and then he lowered his head and opened the manuscripts brought by the female guest one by one.

Louis looked on coldly, and saw that there were dense written records and many manuscripts of different clothing.Yu Chen stacked several duplicate design drafts together without looking at them, picked up a drawing with a complete human figure, and asked casually: "According to Yuya's notes, are you going to participate in the annual meeting between working partners? ?”

Mrs. Alley replied: "There are customers and partners, and it is a luncheon with a working nature."

"The luncheon party needs decent everyday ready-to-wear, and you don't have to think about dresses. But since it's a party, we can work on the accessories." Yu Chen took off the pen from the binder, and tapped the pen in his hand. Design draft, "Looking at the sketch drawn by Yuya, he should have selected a pink and purple dress suit for Chanel's spring and summer ready-to-wear this year. Please wait a moment, I'll get the computer, please take a look at the exact shape of this suit Whether the appearance is to your liking, let's fix the clothes first."

"No need, Mr. Shiraishi has already shown it to me." Mrs. Alley raised a hand, "I am quite satisfied with this dress, but I think its appearance is too dignified, might it not suit you well?" The relaxed atmosphere of the buffet?"

Yu Chen asked without answering: "Do you think it would be better if you replaced Yuuya's matching watch with a bracelet?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Alley's answer, he took a blank piece of paper and quickly sketched it. After a while, he drew a similar one according to the original design. He drew a wide bracelet on his wrist and pointed it to Mrs. Alley. Look: "Look, we removed the overly solemn and mature pearl necklace and watch, and replaced it with this brand's classic diamond bracelet, doesn't it look much more relaxed and lively?"

Mrs. Alley looked at the design draft for a moment, and agreed: "But take off the pearl necklace, what jewelry should I wear?"

Yu Chen said with a smile: "The neckline design of this dress is very special. I think if you wear a complicated necklace, it will look too complicated. That's why Yu also matched it with a simple and versatile pearl choker, but as you said, white The pearl necklace has a certain seriousness, which is really difficult to match here."

Mrs. Alley asked, "Where's the silk scarf?"

Yu Chen shook his head; "If this suit is paired with a silk scarf, it will be too heavy. In my opinion, you might as well not wear any necklaces, and just wear a set of bracelets and earrings."

Mrs. Alley wondered: "Wouldn't it look empty without a necklace?"

"Not at all, you can show your collarbone." Yu Chen said with a smile, "Your collarbone line is beautiful, it's enough for decoration."

Before Mrs. Alley could respond to his appreciation, Louis, who had been silent for a long time, interjected, "Are you sexually harassing me?"

Mrs. Alley quickly smoothed things over and said: "It's okay, sir, I don't mind. It's a very polite compliment, and I'm very happy to hear such an evaluation from others."

"The two of them know each other, what's so great about complimenting each other. What do you care about?" Jean-Luc jumped to the side of the sofa and whispered to Louis.

Louis stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't talk too much, look in your mirror."

Jean-Luc grinned: "You don't have new clothes, and you don't even have the pleasure of looking in the mirror."

Louis slapped him again and remained silent.He vaguely caught a glimpse of Yu Chen watching him from the corner of his eye, but when he turned his head, the latter was concentrating on revising the drawing again.

Could it be that the feeling of being stared at by him just now was an illusion?

Before he could think of an answer, Yu Chen had already finished the design draft and asked, "Do you think this match is okay?"

Mrs. Alley replied: "It's really refreshing to see the collarbone exposed in the drawings. This outfit is very beautiful. But I still think it's better to wear a necklace."

Mrs. Alley's stubbornness made Louis feel a headache, but Yu Chen didn't care, and closed the folder: "Of course your opinion is the most important. Why don't we follow the usual habits and go to the store to try out this design draft together?" Wear it and feel the actual effect. If you are not satisfied with the actual effect, I will revise the design draft and accompany you to choose the most suitable necklace, okay?"

Mrs. Alley finally compromised: "Then when shall we go shopping?"

"If you are free—" Yu Chen took out his agenda book from his all-encompassing briefcase, flipped through a few pages, and asked, "I don't have any appointments from Monday to Wednesday next week, do you think it's possible?"

"Then I will meet you at the Spring Department Store in the old town from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] on Monday." Mrs. Alley said with a chuckle, "I haven't made an appointment for three days. You are really free now. We old customers have no appointments. I gave it to Mr. Shiraishi who stayed in the studio in the city center, but you went to the suburbs for vacation?"

Yu Chen pushed his glasses: "I was overtired and unwell in the past few months, which affected my work. I was worried about affecting the quality of service, so I came to the suburbs to relax." He summarized the documents and stood up, "According to the usual practice, Monday Please prepare 5.00% of the final clothing cost as my commission, and the remuneration for accompanying shopping will be settled according to the specific time spent, is that okay? Then we will see you on Monday, and I wish you a happy day."

Mrs. Alley picked up her handbag and hat, and he opened the door first, waiting for the female guest to walk out slowly, and saw off with a smile.It was not until Mrs. Alley got into the car and drove out of the street that he closed the door and returned to the store.

As soon as the female guest left, Louis resumed the posture of spreading his limbs and occupying the sofa, and asked him lazily, "Your job is to please the ladies?"

"My job is to make people happy, is there anything unreasonable?" Yu Chen asked with a smile, "In a sense, my job is very similar to yours, isn't it? We do things that make people happy .”

Louis snorted: "Can luxury make people happy?"

Yu Chen explained in a good voice: "Mrs. Ai Lei's monthly income is [-] Euros. For her, the money to buy a Chanel ready-to-wear is not much different from the food and beverage expenses. It is not a luxury. I think that for the high-income class For me, there is no need to live a simple life and cut down on food and clothing, and it is very normal to buy clothes that are within your consumption capacity to make your image more beautiful."

"Ten thousand euros?" Jean-Luc took a breath, "Then how much does she have to pay you every time she comes to see you?"

Yu Chenfeng said calmly: "According to today's collocation, she will probably pay me [-] Euro commission. There will be an additional charge for accompanying the shopping, but it is already a small amount compared to this set of design fees."

Jean-Luc supported the sofa and swallowed: "Four, four hundred euros..."

Louis sneered: "Draw a picture, chat for a while, it's [-] Euros. It's really easy for you to come to the money. Rich people have too much money to spend, are they all used for charity?"

"Although my collocation seems to be just drawn casually, I have also put in the corresponding effort and thinking, and it is worth paying for. This collocation still needs a lot of follow-up services, not just what I did today." Yu Chen was tepid Said, "For Mrs. Alley, decent clothing is the first step to open up social circles, increase self-confidence, and expand her business. Of course, she is worth a few hundred euros."

Louis didn't make a sound anymore, only Jean-Luc was still immersed in the last topic, and asked tremblingly: "Then my suit, is it also worth four hundred euros?"

Yu Chen couldn't help laughing: "Your design fee is a gift from the opening ceremony, so it's not considered money. If you only count the fabric, it's cheap ordinary high-count cotton, and the accessories are also ordinary products. The cost is less than [-] Euros. After the discount, it’s [-] Euro, and I won’t ask you for more.”

Jean-Luc finally settled down: "I thought my clothes were so expensive..."

"When designing the image, we will also consider the customer's income and preferences, so in the end I chose the most suitable solution, not the most expensive one, so don't be afraid." Yu Chen spread his hands, "Sorry, today is Ai High-income people like Mrs. Lei scare you. But my clients are not all rich."

Jean-Luc took a breath: "Then, let's pay now. All the buttons I ground are in the workshop."

Yu Chen immediately went to the workshop to get the buttons, inspected them one by one, and carefully picked out one of them: "This one is unqualified, deduct five cents, and I will pay you four cents and ninety-five cents. "

Jean-Luc made a bitter face: "Please, can you make up a whole number?"

Yu Chen raised the corners of his lips: "No, in front of the rules, you can't be flexible."

"Then tell me, why is this button unqualified?!" Jean-Luc shouted in disbelief.

Yu Chen rubbed the side of the button: "The side is still a little rough, not completely smooth."

"Such a small problem, people who sell clothes will definitely not find out."

Before Yu Chen could speak this time, Louis retorted first: "No, the things sold must be perfect."
