Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Refusing the Gift_1 Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Refusing the Gift_1 Tang Lan gave her elder sister a comforting look and politely said with a smile to the Xin Yuan representative, “I’m sorry! I can’t accept this gift. Please take it back!”
“But this was personally designed by Designer J, specially tailored.”
“Designer J never accepts custom orders. Jiang Nanfei must have paid a lofty price to secure his services.” This was the first time their headquarters had sent such a gift along with their salary, leaving everyone astounded!
It was unthinkable. A famous actress previously requested a custom gown from Designer J for an international film festival, only to be turned away.
“Designer J personally designed this?” Tang Qian incredulously asked, “Really?”
“Yes, if it were not personally designed by Designer J, our company wouldn’t have bothered to personally drop it off.”
Tang Qian’s thoughts turned to Dongxin, who was still heartbroken. Dongxin adored Designer J’s work. If she could present her with a custom-made gift, it would undoubtedly bring her immense joy.
But, thinking that this gift was personally delivered by Huo Beijiang, made her feel uncomfortable.
Tang Lan, aware of her elder sister’s thoughts, directly said, “I’m sorry! I apologize but although we’d really like to accept this valuable gift, I simply cannot!”
Xin Yuan’s representative was surprised that someone could refuse Designer J’s work. On second thought, they weren’t rejecting Designer J but rather the man behind him, Jiang Nanfei. It all fell into place then.
“Listen, we cannot accept this gift, but we could request Designer J to custom design a dress.”
“I’m sorry! Our Designer J does not accept custom orders,” Xin Yuan’s representative apologized.
“What are you implying?” Tang Qian instantly lost her temper. However, because of decorum and status, she had to endure. “You accept Jiang Nanfei’s orders and reject ours. Are you looking down on us?”
“Of course not.” Although Yanlan Qijin’s resident wasn’t the richest, he was definitely the most noble.
They couldn’t disrespect him, could they?
“Ah! Really? Because it seems that’s exactly what you’re insinuating,” Tang Qian snapped.
Xin Yuan’s representative could only shrug apologetically, running out of ways to defend themselves, eventually throwing all blame back to the headquarters.
In the end, Jin Lifu and Wei Fangyi had to step in and mediate.
“Let it go! Are you guys really going to squabble over a few pieces of clothing? Is it worth it?”
“You both are not getting any younger, yet still have such fiery tempers.”
Finally, Tang Lan said, “Please take the gift back! We truly cannot accept it.”
Holding the gift box, Xin Yuan’s representative had no choice but to leave.
Right now, Nan Fei and Jiang Yang were already on the train to Imperial City.
During the nineties, there were no high-speed railways or bullet trains. The train ride from the provincial city to the Imperial City took two days and two nights. Thankfully, they had sleeper tickets and brought plenty of food, including various snacks freshly made from their food factory.
Many of these snacks were Nan Fei’s creations, which would become popular decades later.
Sweet potato chips, gusher candies, rainbow candy, dried fruits, and various candied fruits, beef jerky, pork jerky, potato chips, etc. Snacks were indeed for people with a bit of spare change. Their products were all high-quality, and every package was beautifully made.
Whether it was the original Snack Kingdom logo or the current packaging designs, they were all personally designed by Nan Fei. Different products had different designs, most of which were childish and cute, the color combinations gave a lively feeling.
It was the kind of design that made people believe the product would taste amazing at first glance.
