Chapter 1837
After Abby finished her words, almost everyone on the scene nodded in agreement. They thought
that what she said was reasonable.
Since the cheongsam was a work of art, it could not be measured by money.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Desmond also found it very difficult to argue with Abby''s words.
Although he really wanted to argue with Abby, he couldn''t say anything in the face of Abby''s
objective smile.
Susan looked around and said quickly, "You''re right, Mr. Chin. It''s just an ident. Tina didn''t mean
to damage Mrs. Barron''s cheongsam. If she could, she would try her best to repair it. But I''m afraid
that it will take a long time for her to repair it. Or is it possible for her to leave with the cheongsam at
the end of this activity? In this way, she would have enough time to repair it..."
Susan had noticed that Tina''s lips were tightly pursed, and therefore she realized how serious the
problem was.
Yet this was not something that could be easily solved, and therefore Susan tried to use a strategy
of postponing time. She presumed that after the end of this activity, Tina would have more time and
space to make up for this ident. If Mrs. Barron agreed with her suggestion, at least they would
be able to solve the current trouble.
However, before Susan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Maya rudely. "How can Mrs.
Barron do that? What if you don''t admit it after you get out of here? If you can''t repair it, then we''ll
call the police!"
Susan was extremely annoyed.
As she knew that Maya was deliberately making trouble to Tina, Susan was so angry that she
wanted to rush forward and argue with Maya, but she was halted by Tina.
Apart from Susan and Desmond, the other observers did not have any intention of helping Tina.
They could roughly see that Maya was purposefully making trouble to Tina, yet most of them did not
want to cause any trouble to themselves.
The atmosphere thus became strained.
At that moment, Mrs. Barron, who had been frowning and silent, opened her mouth. "Miss Hall, if
you can repair the cheongsam, do it!"
Susan looked flustered. "Mrs. Barron, Tina..."
Mrs. Barron looked straight at Tina with a smile. She then said in an unyielding tone, "This isn''t a
convenient ce to repair the cheongsam. I''ll get someone to provide you with a room. I hope that
after this activity ends, I will see this cheongsam being properly repaired!"
As Mrs. Barron had already dered her arrangement, others naturally couldn''t disagree with it.
"This time, Miss Hall will be in trouble!"
"How dare she be so careless? She''s in big trouble now!"
The crowd began to discuss it again. Most of the participants in this activity were designers from the
apparel industry. Most of them shook their heads secretly.
It was because they thought that this was something impossible toplete.
Maya smiled very happily, and she even enthusiastically stuffed the cheongsam into Tina''s hands.
Desmond lowered his voice and asked with concern, "Tina, are you sure you can repair it?"
Susan''s expression was also grave.
Tina looked at the cheongsam in her hands and replied with a serious look, "I can only do my best!"
The activity went on.
Although it was almost ended, the guests were still very excited. Everyone was waiting for the result
of Tina''s reparation work, and they were not in a hurry to leave at all.
However, there was no doubt about the result.
Almost everyone thought that it was impossible for Tina toplete the task. If so, she would
offend Mrs. Barron. At that time, Maya would inevitably use Tina of damaging the precious
cheongsam, and even call the police. No one wanted to miss such a wonderful show.
Desmond and Susan both looked worried.
After some time, a staff member walked up to Mrs. Barron and reported, "Mrs. Barron, Miss Hall is
back!"
After hearing the news, everyone on the scene looked over at the same time.
Tina walked into the hall slowly from the entrance. Her eyes were calm, and her expression was
rxed. Behind her, there was a clothes rack with trolleys, which was pushed forward by a staff
member. The unique cheongsam was hanging on the rack.
"Have my eyes be dazzled?"
"The cheongsam has really been repaired in such a short time!"
"It''s exactly the same as before. I can''t see any damage or difference. Miss Hall really did it!"
? ? ?
Everyone was amazed when they saw Tina and the cheongsam.
Many guests even reached out their hands and touched it. The golden peacock was still embedded
on the cheongsam. The hollow part of its tail was now intact, and the golden silk threads, which
made the peacock and were as thin as hair, was giving off golden beams of light under the
lamplight.
Maya also squeezed out of the crowd to have a look. She caressed the cheongsam repeatedly to
confirm that it had been repaired properly.
She could not believe it, and felt disappointed at the same time.
She had not expected that Tina would be able to solve a problem like this. She thought that Tina
could go to the police station tonight.
Abby was standing beside Maya, and her smile stiffened as she looked at Tina.
Susan''s eyes were wide open, and she was very pleasantly surprised. She was so excited that she
almost hugged her friend. "Tina, you''re amazing! How did you do it?"
Tina smiled faintly.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly. Just as Tina was about to speak, she noticed that Mrs.
Barron wasn''t far away. Then, Tina said to Susan, "Wait for me for a moment!"
Tina walked over to Mrs. Barron.
Her hands were crossed slightly, and she said gratefully, "Mrs. Barron, thank you so much today!"
The craftmanship of the cheongsam was indeed very exquisite. Tina once had an opportunity to see
and learn embroidery craft of this kind.
Soon after the ident urred, she thought about how to repair the cheongsam in her mind. On
the basis of her experience, it would not be difficult to repair the cheongsam, as the damage was
not a serious one. But a problem did exist: There were no golden threads.
Mrs. Barron gave Tina a handter on.
After Tina was brought to the room to repair the cheongsam, Mrs. Barron ordered her men to give
her a small bundle of golden threads.
It was true that the golden threads couldn''t be bought on the market now. That was the reason why
the cheongsam was called a unique item. However, what other people did not know was that after
the cheongsam was made, the remaining golden threads were collected and kept by Mrs. Barron.
Only then did Tina realize that she had not offended Mrs. Barron at all. Instead, Mrs. Barron had
been secretly helping her.
Mrs. Barron smiled to Tina. "You''re wee!"
Tina was very grateful to Mrs. Barron.
Although the cheongsam had indeed been repaired by Tina, the most important thing was that Mrs.
Barron helped by providing her with the golden threads. Otherwise, Tina would not be able to do it.
The smile on Mrs. Barron''s face deepened, and there was a hint of kindness in her eyes. "Meadow
and I have known each other for many years. In private, we have a WhatsApp group on
cheongsams. All the group members are interested in cheongsams, and we often chatted together!
Meadow had specially informed me that her future daughter- in-w is a very excellent apparel
designer. She instructed me to take good care of you!"
Tina was amazed.
Meadow Yamada, Wilson''s mother...
Tina suddenly felt warm in her heart after she learned that Meadow cared so much about her.
She had not expected that it was Meadow who entrusted her friend to take good care of her.
Mrs. Barron was a sessful businesswoman and very experienced in dealing with people. It was
quite easy for her to see through the little tricks of Abby and Maya.
That was why Mrs. Barron suggested that Tina would be allowed to repair the cheongsam in a
room. Maya had deliberately attempted to frame Tina, but this trick would not cheat Mrs. Barron
easily.
Of course, there was another reason why Mrs. Barron did not me Maya on the scene and
pointed out her trick directly.
Mrs. Barron continued with a smile, "Miss Hall, I''ve read the business proposal of your STS Studio. I
think your studio''s potential for future development is quite good. I also have learned a little about
your abilities in making apparel. I''m willing to give this year''s contract to your studio!" "Really?
Thank you very much!" Tina was amused.
Mrs. Barron reached out to her. "Hope we will have a cordial working rtionship in the future!"
Tina quickly reached out and to shake hands with Mrs. Barron. The corners of her lips were curved
into a smile, and her clear eyes were as bright as stars.
