Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Republic of China Gentlewoman Divorced Wife VS Amorous Actor (Part 13)

Madam Shen found the voice strangely familiar.

Looking up, indeed it was an acquaintance.

"You are?" Madam Shen could hardly believe it.

Gu Shengyin smiled faintly and nodded, "Hello, Madam Shen, I am Lin Jianke."

Mr. Shen also stood up and shook hands with Gu Shengyin, astonishment in his eyes.

He sized up the woman before him: Her long hair was loosely braided and tied with a ribbon at the end, with a few wisps of hair naturally falling on her cheeks.

Yan Ruohua had the classic beauty of an ancient belle: willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and an oval face.

As a man, Shen Yuanhang couldn’t comprehend her unfaithful husband mentioned by her.

What kind of woman could make him abandon such beauty?

However, it was a sensitive issue touching upon someone’s pain, so Mr. Shen didn’t inquire further.

"May I know, Lin Jianke sir, what should I call you in daily life?" Nowadays, talented women are also addressed with honorifics.

"My surname is Yan."

Mr. Shen nodded, "Nice to meet you, Miss Yan. I have already introduced myself in my calling card, I am Shen Yuanhang, the owner of White Cloud Cloth Store."

At this time, Madam Shen spoke up; she was more interested in the dress on Gu Shengyin, "Miss Yan, the dress you are wearing, I’ve never seen such a style before, did you design it yourself?"

Gu Shengyin chuckled to herself; she had worn this dress today precisely to pique the other party’s curiosity.

She nodded, "It’s a pattern I drew in my spare time."

The dress she wore that day was a white ankle-length gown with a shirt-style collar and classical lantern sleeves at the neckline, with ribbons tied on both sides and a strand of beaded chain cinching the waist, both fresh and elegant.

Seeing the long dress on Gu Shengyin, Mr. Shen did not hesitate any longer and immediately decided the partnership details with Gu Shengyin.

Shen Yuanhang suggested a minor modification.

"To give me a twenty percent share of White Cloud Cloth Store." Gu Shengyin was somewhat surprised.

Ownership of a business was particularly important to people of the time, and she had not expected Shen Yuanhang to make such an offer.

Shen Yuanhang’s attitude was very sincere, "Miss Yan, I am a businessman, and I think partnering with Miss Yan is a delightful matter. I am willing to give twenty percent of the cloth store’s shares to Miss Yan, so we can jointly witness the rise of White Cloud Cloth Store."

He had a vested interest, though giving Gu Shengyin twenty percent of the shares seemed like a short-term loss, but only in this way would Miss Yan wholeheartedly wish for White Cloud Cloth Store to do well. With Miss Yan’s talents, the future benefits she could bring to White Cloud Cloth Store would probably be much more than what he was giving up now.

Gu Shengyin pondered for a long time before finally agreeing to the request.

"Then, Miss Yan, I wish us a pleasant partnership."

Shen Yuanhang later wrote in his memoirs, "The most correct decision Shen made in his life was to establish a partnership with Mrs. Yan before she fully revealed her talents to the world."

He was described by subsequent historians as "the most successful investor."

Of course, all of this would come later; the Shen Yuanhang of now was merely the owner of a modestly prosperous cloth store in Cloud City, while Gu Shengyin was just a designer with slight notoriety in Cloud City.

Half a month later, Lin Jianke released a new clothing design in the Cloud City Daily.

Then there was a statement, the gist of which was that from then on, she would no longer publish any clothing designs, as she had signed a contract with White Cloud Cloth Store and would regularly release new products, and those interested could follow for updates.

It was around this time that some businessmen who were still watching realized what they might have missed.
