After coming out of Yu Qiao's shop, Feng Yi did not go back directly, but went to Lu Yue's company.
In fact, even if he didn't know about the Cultural Arts Festival, he would meet with Lu Yue before leaving Yongcheng.
They have been in contact all the time. Lu Yue mentioned it several times, asking Feng Yi to tell him when he comes to Yongcheng and not to leave without saying anything.
Feng Yi also told Lu Yue about his trip to Yongcheng this time.
Originally, Lu Yue wanted to invite Feng Yi to dinner at a private chef restaurant, but Lu Yue has been too busy recently and it is difficult to arrange the time, so he asked Feng Yi to come to the company to find him directly if he is free.
Feng Yi sent a message in advance. When he arrived at Lu Yue's company, Lu Yue had sent an assistant to wait downstairs and took the special elevator directly to the floor where his office was located.
Lu Yue had just finished a video conference and was holding a teacup, drinking tea to moisten his throat.
Seeing Feng Yi, Lu Yue hurriedly stood up and went to greet him.
"Junior, long time no see!"
Although they were all alumni, Lu Yue was not so enthusiastic towards every alumni. There were many alumni who had achieved success in their careers, but the number of alumni that he could show such an attitude towards could be counted on one hand.
As a businessman, Lu Yue has his own criteria.
To Lu Yue, Feng Yi is the kind of person worth making friends with.
Not to mention Feng Yi's current fame and social status, just based on the help Feng Yi had given him in the past and the pleasant cooperation between the two parties, his attitude towards Feng Yi was far superior to that of others.
"Brother Yue." Feng Yi walked in.
"Sit down!" Lu Yue personally poured a cup of tea for Feng Yi. "We just finished a meeting. Now it's time to take a break. Let's chat for a while."
Seeing that Lu Yue looked tired and his eyes were slightly dark, Feng Yi said:
"Busy?"
"It's just a period of time, we just need to get through it." Lu Yue said.
"What about the Dragon Boat Festival Cultural and Arts Festival?" Feng Yi asked.
Lu Yue was slightly surprised, but not that shocked.
The company had already publicized things related to the art festival. Even though Feng Yi had only come to Yongcheng in the past two days, there were many channels to learn about it.
"That's exactly the case! Where did you hear it?" Lu Yue asked.
"I heard about it from boss Yu Qiao. I just came from her place. I was a little interested in a certain type of ancient coins, and she collected some of them." Feng Yi explained.
Lu Yue nodded, and did not ask Feng Yi how much money he spent on what he bought. He just asked, "How many days will you stay in Yongcheng?"
"I originally planned to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but today I heard Boss Yu mention the Dragon Boat Festival Culture and Arts Festival, so I wanted to go and see it," Feng Yi said.
"Hey, that's perfect!" Lu Yue said excitedly, "We have an exhibition area over there, and we're going to hold some activities there. We're using this event to promote several summer clothing series, and we've invited two well-known models. You can go and have a look. There are some other activities in the inner area of the cultural and arts festival venue. If you don't have other plans, I'll take you there. Don't worry about the invitation letter you need to go to the inner area, I'll help you get it!"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "I heard from Boss Yu that she has helped to get an invitation letter."
Lu Yue complained in his heart that Yu Qiao’s hands were so quick!
It's rare to hear Feng Yi is interested in this, and he even plans to sell it to Feng Yi in a good way.
Hearing Feng Yi's interest in an ancient coin in the charity auction, Lu Yue frowned slightly. He really didn't know much about this.
He had heard from others about what items might be auctioned, but ancient coins were not within his area of interest and he did not have a deep understanding of them; he just had this impression.
The ancient coins could not provide much help, so Lu Yue introduced to Feng Yi the contents of this Dragon Boat Festival's Cultural and Arts Festival.
They have exhibition areas and know more about the cultural and art festival.
As he was talking excitedly, Lu Yue suddenly had an idea and said to Feng Yi: "Why don't you wear our brand of clothing? Our group's high-end line is also very good! You usually wear..."
Lu Yue originally wanted to see what brand of clothes Feng Yi wore and analyze it with Feng Yi from the perspective of commercial interests.
However, after looking around, I didn't find any obvious brand logo on Feng Yi's clothes, and the patterns were also unfamiliar.
Lu Yue, who studies the competitors of various big brands every day, rarely encounters difficulties.
"What are you wearing?" Lu Yue asked.
"Custom-made." Feng Yi said.
Most of Feng Yi's clothes are now made by his housekeeper, who said that they were made by his friends. There are no logos on the clothes, so no one knows who they asked.
The butler spoke vaguely and casually, and Feng Yi did not ask in detail at that time.
Lu Yue said absentmindedly: "Oh. Custom-made. I thought... Wait!"
Lu Yue stood up from his chair, and moved closer, staring at Feng Yi's clothes, as if he saw something magical, "Can I see the material of your clothes?"
Although he didn't know why Lu Yue was so excited all of a sudden, Feng Yi still said, "Okay."
Lu Yue pinched the cloth at Feng Yi's cuffs and looked at it carefully.
After looking for a while, he glanced at Feng Yi, and that look contained too many complex emotions: some surprise, some emotion, and also the excitement of discovering some secret. He wanted to look through the surface of Feng Yi to study the other hidden side.
Feng Yi knew that the other party had discovered something from the material of the clothes. He secretly became alert in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
He distinguished the emotional information from Lu Yue and did not see any negative information in it.
Feng Yi smiled with some doubt and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Yue made two "tsk tsk" sounds and looked Feng Yi up and down with an expression that said, "You little brat, I've discovered your secret."
"You kid, you hid it too well!" Lu Yue said.
"Why do you say that?" Feng Yi moved the fingers hanging at his side.
Lu Yue's tone was excited, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at Feng Yi: "The fabric of your clothes is a newly developed material. Only two or three top international brands are using it now. I can't find a way to buy it. The one you're wearing has been specially processed. It feels so good! Where did it come from?"
"An elder asked his friend to make it for him." Feng Yi said.
"This friend of your elder is not an ordinary friend." Lu Yue said meaningfully.
I was thinking in my heart: Feng Yi, you, this elder, are not just an ordinary elder!
Either he knows the top executives of the material research and development company, or he has a deep relationship with the people in power of those top fashion brands!
Lu Yue originally wanted to ask Feng Yi if he could help him make a connection, but he swallowed the words back before he could say them.
Although he has been in contact with Feng Yi, Lu Yue is very clear that his relationship with Feng Yi is only average.
I don't think Feng Yi, the elder, is an ordinary person.
The other party does not want the benefits he can give, and he cannot afford what the other party wants.
Let’s take a look at what Feng Yi is wearing.
This cut fits Feng Yi's figure perfectly.
It doesn't look noticeable at first glance, but with Lu Yue's keen eyesight, he can tell the sophistication of the garment.
How close must the elder be to spend so much time and effort on Feng Yi
When Lu Yue usually gets together with classmates, friends and partners, he often hears them bragging about things like "how much money it cost to invite XXX master from XXX to design it".
I felt very indigestion when I suddenly saw someone like Feng Yi.
There is a lot of information, but no definite answer.
At this moment, Lu Yue's evaluation of Feng Yi rose again.
When he looked at Feng Yi again, he felt that Feng Yi was glowing with the light of money!
From clothes to shoes, I wish I could take them all off and study them carefully!
Which elder wrote these
Lu Yue made various guesses.
After Lu Yue pointed out the specialness of the clothes, Feng Yi also wanted to know where the butler had them customized.
He doesn't have high requirements for everyday clothes.
Judging from Lu Yue’s reaction, the fabric of the suit he is wearing is not only scarce but also very expensive.
This... He couldn't even roll on the grass in the yard!
Next time I roll on the grass, I will first check whether the clothes I am wearing are provided by the housekeeper. If so, I will change them.
Even if you have money now, you can't spend it like this!
He's not the type to wear an item of clothing only once!
Lu Yue's break was quite short. Before he had even finished his cup of tea, someone else came to see him.
As the cultural and arts festival approaches, he is very busy.
Feng Yi didn't stay long and said goodbye.
Lu Yue didn't bother to be polite, "Okay, see you at the Cultural Arts Festival!"
Feng Yi returned home, put away the two zodiac coins he had bought, and told Xiao Jia about his plans for the next few days, postponing his return to Yangcheng.
For this purpose, Xiaojia specially collected information related to this cultural and arts festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival elements, in addition to certain commemorative and blessing meanings, also focus on expelling poisonous insects and snakes.
What about realgar wine!
Realgar wine!
Xiaojia expressed his concerns when he was video chatting with his friends in Yangcheng.
He asked Xiao Wu: "Boss, when you attend that kind of event, are there any things you need to pay attention to, such as certain taboos?"
Xiao Wu: “What do you mean?”
Xiaojia: "For example, some drugs to repel insects and snakes, such as realgar wine..."
Xiao Wu: "Don't let the housekeeper know about these questions of yours. If the old man gets excited, he might persuade Feng Yi to fire you!"
The housekeeper has emphasized to them privately many times that the boss is a high-level evolved creature!
It's not some goblin monster!
Not even a lowly reptile!
Xiaojia: “… I was wrong!”
Reflection is to reflect.
Worry is also inevitable.
The Dragon Boat Festival.
Xiaojia drove Fengyi to the venue of the cultural and arts festival with a subtle mentality.
The car was parked in a parking lot not far from the venue.
Feng Yi put on his hat and glasses and was about to get off the car.
Xiaojia wanted to speak but stopped, and wanted to speak again.
Feng Yi: "What?"
Xiaojia opened his mouth and said, "Uh... Boss, you... have fun."
"That's it?"
"If there is any emergency, please contact me at any time. I'm here, always on standby!"
"You don't have to stay here, you can go in and take a look, this kind of activity is very lively, and there are all kinds of delicious food."
Feng Yi got out of the car and looked around.
It was a holiday and many people came here to play.
Feng Yi arrived relatively early, but there were only a few empty spaces in the parking lot.
Today he was dressed more modestly.
More sociable.
Walking into the crowd, I felt like a college student visiting for fun.
The outdoor venue of the cultural and arts festival is an open-air area.
At the entrance, there are many stalls selling umbrellas.
The oil-paper umbrellas, painted with various patterns and in various styles and colors, are loved by tourists of all ages.
The weather is very good today, the sun is strong, and there are quite a lot of people buying oil-paper umbrellas.
Under the festive atmosphere, some people who originally came in with parasols couldn't help but buy one when they saw these and put away their original cloth umbrellas.
There were men, women, young and old dressed in ancient costumes, taking photos with oil-paper umbrellas.
There is also an entire cultural wall with information related to festivals and local customs and habits.
Feng Yi saw quite a few stickers and pendants of the five poisonous elements at some stalls selling small accessories.
The so-called five poisons are: poisonous snakes, toads, scorpions, centipedes and geckos.
Looking back now, it seems like the last one was just dragged in to make up the number.
No matter what the ancients thought, the Five Poisons are these five.
In the small commodity area, there are bracelets woven with five-colored ropes, as well as various sachets. According to the stall owner, some of them can repel mosquitoes, refresh the mind, relieve depression and so on.
"sneeze!"
Feng Yi sneezed due to the stimulation of various smells.
Carefully feel the smell brought by the wind.
The amount of smell information is too great, and there are many that Feng Yi doesn't like very much, which can be a bit irritating for people with a keen sense of smell.
Nothing else, just sneezing easily.
Fortunately, I am prepared today.
Feng Yi put on a mask.
It is not for preventing odors. Odors cannot be prevented by such a small mask.
He wears a mask to prevent his sneezes from affecting other people.
The glasses he wore today were a pair of framed plain glasses, but since he was wearing a mask, Feng Yi took them off.
Look around, there are people selling talismans.
Quite a few people bought it!
Of course, not all buyers really believe in those things. Some people buy them purely as decorations or to have a sense of ritual during the holidays.
A few steps away from Feng Yi, there were a few young people, probably students from a university in Yongcheng.
"Yellow wine, realgar wine... Yellow wine is divided into male and female? So there is also realgar wine?"
“Something different!”
"Realgar, arsenic sulfide! Isn't this stuff poisonous? Is there really anyone who dares to drink it?"
"There are many! It says on the promotional sign that it is brewed by a famous chef using ancient methods. Oh, this wine says 'non-edible', so it's not drinkable?"
"It's for decoration or blessing, the bottle mouth is sealed. Just take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments, I will never touch this kind of thing... Hey, look over there!"
Feng Yi listened to their conversation and looked over.
In an area diagonally ahead, there are several young ladies wearing traditional Chinese clothing.
Feng Yi glanced at the cultural sign standing over there.
Oh, it’s the painting.
It is to use realgar wine to draw the word "王" on the child's forehead. The "王" that looks like a tiger's forehead pattern.
One uses realgar to drive out poison;
Second, borrow the fierce tiger to suppress evil.
Those ladies dressed in traditional Chinese style clothes are responsible for painting the forehead.
No money required, all paintings are free.
There were many parents queuing there with their children.
The young man who had just been talking about the toxicity of realgar wine and said he "would never touch it" quickly walked over.
"Excuse me, can adults also draw?"
A parent in the queue replied: "Adults don't draw the word '王' on their foreheads. They can just smear it between their eyebrows and ears. Of course, you can draw the word '王' if you want."
Another parent saw Feng Yi looking at this side, and thought that Feng Yi also had the same problem, so he said: "Since you are here, why not draw something! Draw insects and snakes to drive away poison and suppress evil!"
Feng Yi smiled back: "No."
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the smell is too bad.
A little kid who had just painted the word “王” on his forehead came running over excitedly, jumping up and down.
Seeing Feng Yi looking at him, the child raised his hands and threatened like a tiger:
"Rua—"
Feng Yi: “… sneeze!”
