Yes, Lady Funina!

"No, no, I've just lived long enough to know a little bit about everything." Richard waved his hand and said modestly.

After a few jokes, the atmosphere in the store became more harmonious. Richard did not mention the couple's clothes for the four people again, as that would be a bit too much.

But Linnett knew that Richard often liked to put the truth in jokes, and he might really want to have it all.

If that's the case... Linnet reached out and touched the material, pursed her lips and decided not to think about it for the time being.

Becoming an ostrich...

"Linnit, come here and try the sample." Chizhi handed the clothes to Linnit and said.

"Okay." Linnet put down the tea, stood up and glanced at Richard, and found that he was looking at her expectantly, like a puppy waiting to be fed by its owner.

So Linnet decisively turned her gaze past Richard and looked at Clorinde next to Richard.

"Claulinde, can you come in and give me some reference?"

"Me? No problem." Clorinde nodded and agreed without thinking too much, then she saw Richard staring at her.

...Did I offend him again unintentionally?

Clorinde walked into the fitting room with gritted teeth. The fitting room in Qianzhi's store was very large. Since it was a high-end clothing store that provided customized services, it was not like an ordinary clothing store with a wide variety of clothes displayed outside and only a few small fitting rooms.

Qianzhi made a sample according to Linnette's request. However, because it was just a sample, it was not as exquisite as the finished garment, but the effect could still be seen.

Linnett had two sets of clothes custom-made, one was an evening gown for formal occasions, and the other was a casual dress for everyday wear.

The sample she is wearing now is the evening gown. Different from the common Western-style backless and low-cut evening gown, the one Linnette is wearing is more of a conservative style with oriental charm.

Although it is a conservative style and the skin is basically covered by the fabric, the actual visual effect is excellent. On the contrary, the flesh can be seen under the silk fabric, and the looming and elusive feeling makes people feel itchy.

Clorinde reached out and touched the material, and found that the fabric of the main garment was very sturdy, not as "delicate" as she had imagined. The pattern on the black lace sleeves in her hands was also very beautiful, faintly outlining a mysterious black cat.

The hem of the skirt wasn't very high, so even if you took your highest step, you could only see your calves. However, because the skirt was made of semi-transparent silk, you could vaguely see the outline of your thighs, but it wasn't very clear.

Clorinde touched the semi-transparent silk material on the hem of her skirt again and found that it was not as reliable as the upper body. She felt that it could be torn apart with a little force.

After a closer look, I found that the skirt is divided into two layers. Even if the outer silk skirt is accidentally torn, there is no need to worry about exposure.

But just when Clorinde wanted to try the material inside again, Linnet coughed lightly.

Clorinde realized that if she tried the material inside, she would inevitably have to put her hand under Linnet's skirt, which was too indecent and seemed like a pervert.

"Ms. Clorinde, do you value the reliability of fabrics?" Chizhi asked after noticing this.

"Yes, for some personal reasons..." Clorinde replied.

Linnet looked at Clorinde's really vulgar figure and the button on her chest, and nodded in understanding, "Indeed."

"It's work-related!" Clorinde emphasized in a low voice.

As the strongest duel agent, it is inevitable to encounter fighting scenes when handling business, and ordinary clothes will usually be inevitably damaged during the fighting process. Even if it is not because of fighting, it is easy to be worn out during daily training.

That's why Clorinde seldom wears casual clothes. She usually goes out in the duel agent's uniform, which is reliable, solid and wear-resistant, and is guaranteed by Fontaine Military Industry quality.

So where can you buy it?

You can’t buy it because it is distributed uniformly by Mo Mang Palace, and the uniforms provided to agents of different levels are also different.

Therefore, most agents would prepare their own uniforms, of all kinds. However, because Clorinde was the "strongest", the uniforms she provided were of the best quality, which could not be bought even with money, so she did not need to prepare them herself.

The free ones are the best.

"If that's the case, then the fabrics we originally thought of will need to be changed." Qianzhi pondered for a moment, and many solid and durable fabric styles flashed through his mind. He had already thought of the material that was most suitable for Clorinde.

"But it's hard to make a dress solid and durable. But I don't think anyone would wear a dress to fight, right?" Chizhi paused. "Because it's tailor-made, as long as you don't gain weight, it's unlikely to tear or break the dress."

As she spoke, Qianzhi made a "ball bursting" gesture with her hand on her chest, which made Clorinde blush.

"Ms. Chiori, please stop joking."

"No, I'm serious. You're probably the woman with the best figure I've ever seen. Even the young lady from the Thorn Rose Society might not be as... um... spectacular as you."

Clorinde was no longer able to argue about the figure. She noticed one thing: "Navia also had clothes made by you, Miss Qianzhi?"

"Just call me Chizhi. It seems that you know Navia? Well, she is an old customer of my shop. Did you notice the lady's clothes she is wearing? They are all made by me. Because the Thorn Rose Club helped me solve a lot of problems before, and a lady like Navia can also serve as an advertisement, so I gave her a friendly price."

"Lady Nafonina..."

"If Lady Funina can promise to wear the clothes I design for her in public, I can charge her for free. But I can also pay her..." Chizhi replied.

After all, with Funina's identity and her popularity in Fontaine, there are countless designers who would be willing to design clothes for her, let alone charging her. Even if they pay, there are still many people willing to do so.

"Come to think of it, Lady Funina is definitely coming today, right? But why haven't we seen her yet?" Chizhi asked.

"Lady Fernina doesn't want to miss any trial, so she will arrive a little later. It should be about time..." Just as Clorinde finished her words, she heard Fernina's voice coming from outside the fitting room.

"Richard? Why are you alone? Where are Clorinde and the others?"

"Inside the fitting room..."

"Wow, why do you look like that? It's like someone else ate the dessert you were looking forward to for a long time."

The three women in the fitting room couldn't help but look at each other, and finally Clorinde couldn't help but said, "Why don't we let Richard in?"

After all, the samples that Linnette was wearing were not shameful clothes, and although this room was called a fitting room, it was actually a small discussion room used by designers to discuss designs with customers. If one really wanted to change clothes, there was still a small partition.

Matryoshka dolls belong to yes.

"Yeah..." Linnette nodded and was about to open the door to let someone in, but she found that Richard was already standing at the door with his hand raised, ready to knock.

"I'm here to ask on behalf of Funina."

"In that case, please let Lady Funina in."

"Don't mention..."

Finally, Richard got to the fitting room as he wished, but unlike what he imagined, he did not see any erotic scenes. Linnet then went into the small compartment and changed into several sets of samples.

Li Cha felt that the product did not match the description and wanted to lodge a solemn protest, but unsurprisingly his protest was rejected and he was almost expelled from the court.

"What kind of clothes does Lady Funina want to design? Like the traditional evening gowns commonly seen in Fontaine, or the exotic formal dresses..." Qianzhi gave Funina several examples.

But Finnina looked at Richard with an inquiring look. Qianzhi was a little surprised when she saw this scene, as if she had not expected that Finnina would actually ask Richard for his opinion.

When a girl starts asking for advice on dressing from a member of the opposite sex and takes the initiative to approach him, it is very telling.

Linnet now has an opponent... and the opponent is actually the god of Fontaine.

Of course, it is possible that it is not what Qianzhi imagined, but the possibility is too low. After all, even the dullest guy can feel that the way Funina looks at Richard is completely different from the way she looks at others.

"As for dresses, Furninna should have no shortage of them, right?" Richard thought for a moment and said, but since it was not a work setting, he did not use any honorifics.

"Indeed." Finina thought of the dresses in her closet that she had worn once and never touched again. If she hadn't cleaned out several times over the past few hundred years, her closet would have burst long ago, right?

"But considering how often Lady Furninna wears formal dresses, it's not an exaggeration to call them casual clothes, right?" Clorinde said.

If Clorinde basically wears a uniform all year round, then Funina should wear a dress all year round, right?

However, there are many kinds of dresses. For example, the dresses worn by Funina tend to be neutral. Compared with evening gowns that can only be worn in limited environments, Funina's dresses are more practical and can be used as daily wear.

At most, it would attract some attention, but Finina was born to be the kind of woman who attracts the spotlight wherever she goes. In addition, because of her status as a god, no one would think it was wrong even if she dressed grandly and extravagantly.

After all, she is Funina!

"Then help Lady Funina design a set of real daily clothes. Although haute couture dresses can best reflect the designer's skills, everyday clothes can show the designer's ingenuity. I believe that with Miss Qianzhi's level, she will definitely be able to design a work that will make people's eyes shine." Richard said.

"Even if you compliment me, I won't give in." Qianzhi crossed her arms with a faint smile on her face.

Hearing this, Funina suddenly thought of a question. She pulled Richard's clothes, then pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the consumption level here is not low. Is your salary enough? If not, I do have a lot of savings, but I don't usually use them. I can lend you some."

Other girls will only care about whether the clothes you buy for them are expensive, but girls like Funina will care about whether you have enough money.

"Why, why are you looking at me like that? We agreed beforehand that I am lending, not giving. I have to pay it back. After all, it was you who said you would buy me clothes..." Fu Nina reminded him. She seemed to think that this was a bit heartless, so she added in a low voice: "But if you don't have the money, I didn't say when you would pay it back..."

There is no requirement for when to pay it back, and there is no interest, so it is basically no different from giving it as a gift. The only difference may be that it sounds better in terms of words, probably because Funina took someone's self-esteem into consideration.

She really made me cry to death.

"Don't worry, Lady Funina, money is not a problem. Even if I have to eat dirt for the next month, I will do what I promised!"

When Furninna heard this, she immediately imagined Richard digging in the ground in the wild looking for food, so she said hastily, "In fact, clothes don't have to be too expensive. How about I pay for half of Clorinde's share? After all, she is also my secretary..."

Just then Qianzhi came over with the quotation, "Excuse me, Mr. Richard, here is the quotation, and you need to pay a part of the deposit. If there is no problem, just sign here."

"Okay, no problem." Richard took a quick glance at the numbers on it and signed his name immediately. He then wrote a string of numbers on the checkbook, tore it off after signing and handed it to Chizhi.

When Furninna noticed the checkbook Richard was using, she immediately realized that it was impossible for Richard, who used such a checkbook, to eat dirt over a few pieces of clothing.

It's obvious that this guy is making fun of himself!

Thinking of this, Funina couldn't help but pout and looked at Richard with an unfriendly look.

"Lady Funina can tell Miss Qianzhi any requests you have. The deposit has already been paid." Richard had a smile on his face.

"Then give me the most expensive one. I feel so sorry for you, you bad thing!"

Volume 106: Chapter Clorinde's 'Throb'

After communicating the design requirements, Qianzhi informed everyone that because there were too many clothing samples that needed to be made, they could not be completed in one afternoon, and the conception also took time, so they could go back first, and after the samples were made, the staff of Qianzhi House would come to inform them.

After all, Clorinde alone customized several sets of clothes, and most of them were haute couture clothing. Adding the ones from the other three people, it directly occupied Qianzhiwu's production capacity for the next month.

Of course, there is more than one fashion designer in Chiori-ya, but Richard has money to pave the way and wants all the clothes to be designed by Chiori herself.

The reason I ask is that I like Qianzhi’s designs. I have money, so I want the best.

But in reality...

No matter how capable Qianzhi is, it is impossible for her to come up with so many works at once. When it comes to trying out the samples, in order not to waste everyone's time, it is likely that Clorinde and others will take the time to try them one by one, and then make adjustments based on the results of the trial and personal opinions.

In this way, the original four-person group was split into individual actions, and as the investor of this clothing design, it would be very reasonable for Richard to be present when trying on the samples to see the effects, right?

In that case, the single-person action that was separated out separately becomes a two-person action, and you can even enjoy the rare beautiful scenery for the first time. After all, the reason why the sample is a sample is that compared with the finished clothes, there are still many imperfections, and the reasons for the imperfections are various, such as the size not fitting causing it to be too tight, the unreasonable design causing it to be too exposed...

In short, it is certain that there is a lot to watch, and Richard has begun to look forward to it. After all, he made the dumplings just for this dish of vinegar!

"You seem very happy." After Linnette discussed the design requirements with Chizhi, she suddenly saw the smile of "plan worked" on Richard's face and said.

"After all, having new clothes to wear is always a happy thing." Richard replied with a smile.

"I don't know why you're so happy, but it's definitely not because of the clothes, at least not entirely." Linnet said firmly.

After Qianzhi confirmed with Clorinde the time of her next visit to the store, she said to Richard, "Regarding your clothing samples..."

"Don't worry about mine, ladies first." Richard said generously.

"I understand. Then..." Qianzhi looked at Linnett. "Linnett has almost finished trying on the samples. We can basically move on to the next stage. Next time when Linnett comes to try on the finished clothes, how about you come with her to try on the samples?"

"No problem. By the way, how long will it take for Clorinde and Funina to make their samples?" Richard agreed readily and then asked the question that concerned him most.

"Because I heard from Clorinde that she will be attending an important event soon and doesn't have any suitable dress, so I will give priority to Ms. Clorinde, so the dress may be completed faster than Linnet's."

"As for Ms. Funina's clothes, I need to spend more time on the design. It may take a long time, but it will definitely be completed within a month." Qianzhi said in an orderly manner.

"The specific schedule should be like this..." Qianzhi filled out a flow chart and handed it to Richard.

The general process is written above. The production order of samples and finished products is roughly as follows: Clorinde > Linnet > Funina > Richard.

The specific time had been notified, so Richard and the others did not stay any longer. After all, it was getting late. The four of them found a restaurant, had a simple meal, and then planned to go back.

But before parting, Richard deliberately left Clorinde to tell her: "When you go to try on the samples, tell me and I'll go with you. If the results are good, I can pay the balance on the spot."

Clorinde agreed without any doubt, but hesitated after agreeing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't you let me pay the remaining balance? After all, it's my clothes..."

Clorinde looked at the bill. The long list of numbers on it made her feel embarrassed to accept Richard's kindness. Although she knew that he was rich, she didn't know what his money had to do with her. Clorinde didn't think it was natural to let others spend money for her.

What's more important is that if she really helped Richard, it would be fine, but the problem is that this time, not only did she not help Richard, she also plotted against him. Even though he was the first to act and it was his own fault, Clorinde had a heart of gold.

To be honest, I feel guilty. I can't be like Richard who calculates people like eating bread.

"What? What are you talking about? Do you want me to be a person who does not keep my word? I must do what I promised. I don't like what you said just now. Take it back." Richard said this with such righteousness. It should be the most righteous episode this month.

"Ah...oh..." Clorinde didn't expect Richard to have such a big reaction, as if she had taken away some opportunity from Richard by paying the balance.

It’s just an opportunity, a chance to feast your eyes.

After seeing that Clorinde was frightened by him, Richard nodded with satisfaction and said, "When you are ready to go, just call me."

"Yeah." Clorinde responded dully.

——————

It was another weekend, and Clorinde also received a message from Chizhi, saying that the clothing samples had been made and asked her when she could come to the store to try them on. Chizhi also said that door-to-door service was also available.

But in that case...it'll cost extra.
