In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Chapter 142 Dinner at Governor's House

The slight sadness of seeing her boyfriend off was quickly relieved by the warm gestures of her father and friends. Fu Ziyan quickly immersed herself in a happy girlhood.

I attend classes, attend various parties, participate in some small competitions, and occasionally deal with my investment matters...

Busy and happy, if Lu Yan hadn't called every Saturday night, Fu Ziyan would have almost forgotten about her boyfriend on the other side of the ocean.

"Miss, the dress for tomorrow night is ready." When Ah Hong came in to ask for instructions, Fu Ziyan was studying the stock market trends with Xi Qingqing.

Hearing this, he looked up and said, "Put it in the cloakroom first. I'll go try it on later. Are the matching jewelry ready?"

"Everything is ready, don't worry, Miss."

Fu Ziyan hummed and was about to continue studying the stock market when Xi Qingqing interrupted her, "Yanyan's dress? Try it on now. I'm super curious. I've been looking at this data for so long that my eyes are blurry. It's a good opportunity to refresh my eyes by looking at our most beautiful lady in Hong Kong."

Fu Ziyan was amused by her, "You praised me so much, how can I not satisfy you!"

The dinner she was going to attend was the first dinner after the new Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, took office. It was one of the more important social occasions that Fu Ziyan had attended in the past two years.

Both Fu Ziyan and the housekeeper took this matter very seriously. From the clothing and accessories to the perfume she would use that day, every detail was meticulously crafted. She had to be both elegant and graceful, reflecting the Fu family's status as a daughter, while also not overshadowing the main event. Of course, these were all arranged by the housekeeper.

Fu Ziyan's emphasis is mainly reflected in the fact that she has to remember the important people at the dinner and their family backgrounds in advance to avoid being rude.

So, it is not easy to be a socialite. To be able to thrive in social situations, one must have done their homework in advance.

However, not all wealthy and famous families can attend this banquet. Most families are not eligible, and among those who can attend, they will basically only bring the most outstanding child.

Xi Qingqing also left.

It is still uncertain whether she can be considered Xi Sen's best child. After all, the Xi family has many children, and Xi Qingqing's half-brothers are not necessarily fools at first glance. Although they are reluctant to admit it, the prevailing trend in Hong Kong at that time was that males inherited the family business.

However, as the youngest girl, Xi Qingqing was indeed somewhat favored by Xi Sen. Coupled with her close friendship with Fu Ziyan, she did not have to fight much to get a spot at the banquet.

Although it was a dinner at the Governor's House, and showing up in front of the Governor was one thing, for the family members attending the dinner, the significance of this dinner was to expand and consolidate personal connections and pave the way for company cooperation and development.

Anyone can be brought along. Since Xi Qingqing and Fu Ziyan have a good relationship, it is a foregone conclusion that Xi Qingqing will attend the banquet.

With this best friend relationship, Xi Qingqing can be said to have one trick up her sleeve.

Fu Ziyan didn't mind at all. She even wished she had good friends to accompany her. These hypocritical dinner parties were not difficult to deal with, but having good friends around always made people happier.

A thought flashed through Fu Ziyan's mind, and she took Xi Qingqing to the room.

As soon as Xi Qingqing entered the cloakroom, she exclaimed in admiration, "Oh my God, Yanyan, you have such a wide selection of new styles here. It seems like this little black dress hasn't been stocked in any of the brand stores here in Hong Kong yet."

Fu Ziyan smiled sweetly, "Dad brought it back to me from Europe some time ago."

Xi Qingqing turned off the microphone, and the daddy’s girl is not to be messed with.

However, her attention had already shifted to the dress Fu Ziyan was about to try on.

This is a one-shoulder knee-length skirt. The upper part is pearly white, and the hem gradually changes to pink and purple. It is densely decorated with dazzling small diamonds.

When Fu Ziyan put it on, it combined the charming girlish charm with the aura of a young lady, which fit in harmoniously.

"Qingqing, what do you think?"

Xi Qingqing's eyes lit up, and all her praises finally condensed into one sentence: "So beautiful!" After a pause, she said, "Yan Yan, who is the designer of your dress?"

She also wants to order a dress from such a creative designer.

Fu Ziyan smiled. "That's a treasure I just unearthed! Clara is a new designer who just graduated from Central Saint Martins in London and currently works in the Dior design department. When I saw her last summer fashion show, I found her work very inspiring, so I specially appointed her to design."

"That's a real treasure! I want to order a dress from her too!" Xi Qingqing giggled. "I have a pair of custom-made high heels that are super beautiful and fit my feet, but I don't think any of the dresses in my closet can match them."

At this point, Xi Qingqing was curious, "Is Yanyan wearing high heels this time, or flat shoes like before?"

Miss Fu thinks wearing high heels makes her feet tired, so she always wears flat shoes to banquets, but no one ever dares to gossip about her.

But this dinner is more important. Fu Ziyan chuckled, "I'll wear high heels this time."

As soon as Fu Ziyan finished speaking, Ah Hong had already taken out the shoes and placed them at Fu Ziyan's feet.

They were a pair of silver high-heeled shoes in the style of ballet shoes, with diamond-studded stilettos. They sparkled under the light in the cloakroom and were extremely eye-catching.

Although Fu Ziyan has been spoiled since she was a child, she has never had the habit of asking Ahong to help her put on shoes. She always feels it is weird.

The lambskin sole is soft and fits the foot perfectly. It is indeed a shoe customized according to the foot shape. Fu Ziyan is very satisfied.

Xi Qingqing also sighed, "It's a perfect match! It seems our young lady will be the most beautiful girl in the whole audience again."

"Yeah, standing next to Qingqing, of course I'm eye-catching."

Xi Qingqing laughed, cleared her throat, and spoke in a standard English accent, "Oh, Miss Fu is indeed an angel who has fallen into the world. She is sweet and lively, elegant and noble~"

Then he lowered his voice and switched to Cantonese, "Wow, this is Mr. Fu's daughter, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong!"

Fu Ziyan smiled and pinched the soft flesh on her face, "Let's go out for dinner tonight?"

"No problem! I'm too lazy to go home for dinner. My eldest sister brought her son home to stay these past two days. Kids are really noisy. Their voices are so loud that they can blow the roof off my house."

Xi Qingqing frowned slightly and complained, "You don't know how much that child cries. There was a big plate of fruit on the coffee table, and I ate an orange, and he actually cried to the sky. It's understandable, after all, children are protective of their food. But, Su Tunan and I went out on a date and bought a bag of dolls. As soon as we got home, he looked at the dolls in my hands and started crying as soon as I left. He wouldn't let me leave the dolls behind, and I had to hold the dolls in front of him."

Seeing Xi Qingqing complaining and laughing at the same time, Fu Ziyan guessed that this child was not annoyed by her yet.

Sure enough, she complained for a while and then laughed, "Although he cries a bit, he's still pretty cute and soft to hold."

Fu Ziyan couldn't help but be curious, "You can actually hold a child?"

Xi Qingqing doesn't look like someone who would be patient enough to coax or hold a baby.

"That kid tried to climb onto my lap while I was eating. If I didn't hold him, he would have fallen."

Fu Ziyan teased her, "Our Qingqing is now considered the best aunt in the world~"
