Chapter 232 -221 Fashion Show (2)

On Sunday, after having breakfast, Lu Jiaxin was preparing to go to the show but unexpectedly received a phone call from Guh Haifan. Through tears, Guh Haifan said, “Cousin, Aunt has fainted, we’re now at the hospital.”

Lu Jiaxin grabbed her bag and rushed to the hospital. By the time she arrived, Guh Xiuxiu had already regained consciousness and was eating porridge when Jiaxin walked into the room.

“Aunt, how are you feeling now?”

Guh Xiuxiu asked with a puzzled face, “Who are you?”

Lu Jiaxin’s heart skipped a beat. She had just fainted, so why didn’t she recognize people now: “Aunt, it’s Jiaxin. What’s wrong with you?”

Aunt Mei said with a smile, “Old Madam, this is your granddaughter, Lu Jiaxin. You visited her last year in the Forty-nine City and have been full of praise for her ever since, then you had her come here to study.”

Guh Xiuxiu still didn’t say anything.

Aunt Mei explained to Lu Jiaxin, “The Old Madam just woke up and is a bit confused, she’ll be better after a while. Miss Cousin, you go outside and accompany Young Master Cousin; he has been terribly frightened.”

Only then did Lu Jiaxin realize that Guh Haifan wasn’t in the ward. When she found him outside, his eyes were red and swollen; he must have just been crying.

With a crying tone, Guh Haifan asked, “Cousin, Aunt will always be alright, won’t she?”

Clearly, the child had been scared. Lu Jiaxin, stroking his head, said, “Don’t worry, the doctors here are highly skilled; Aunt won’t have any problems.”

Guh Haifan wiped away his tears, “Cousin, I believe you.”

Lu Jiaxin was puzzled by this implication that he wouldn’t believe others. What made Haifan say such things? But she didn’t have time to think it over at this moment and asked, “How did Aunt faint?”

Guh Haifan knew the reason, “Aunt was walking in the garden and suddenly just fainted. Luckily, Aunt Hong was with her and quickly caught her as she fell. It was so sudden that Aunt Hong sprained her waist, and she was still lying on the sofa when we left.”

Since she couldn’t get an answer here, Lu Jiaxin went to ask the doctor.

The doctor said that Guh Xiuxiu had fainted suddenly because of a coughing fit.

Not understanding, Lu Jiaxin asked, “How can coughing cause someone to faint?”

The doctor explained, “Continuous, severe coughing can rapidly increase chest pressure, reducing venous return and cardiac output, ultimately causing a sudden drop in blood perfusion, leading to fainting.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t understand any of these technical terms and asked, “Can this kind of fainting leave any sequelae?”

The doctor said, “It can cause a transient loss of consciousness and may be accompanied by incontinence, but medication can control it.”

“My aunt didn’t recognize me just now.”

The doctor indicated that the patient had not fully recovered and should be better after a while, “If you’re worried, you can have a comprehensive and detailed examination done for her.”

When Lu Jiaxin went back to the ward and told Guh Xiuxiu about having a comprehensive and detailed examination, she didn’t expect to be refused. Guh Xiuxiu said that there wasn’t much wrong with her health; it was just the recent change in weather that had caused a cough. She thought some medicine would do, but that morning her coughing was so severe that she fainted.

Guh Xiuxiu said, “Jiaxin, the cough is just because of a cold due to the recent weather changes. I just need to be careful in the future, there’s no need for further examination.”

Seeing that she recognized her now, Lu Jiaxin believed the doctor’s words and felt relieved.

Aunt Mei also said on the side, “Miss Cousin, the Old Madam had a full body check-up last month, and there wasn’t a major problem. It’s only been a month; there’s no need for another full body check-up.”

“Then we’ll stay in the hospital until your cough gets better before going back,” Lu Jiaxin said. A cough causing someone to faint was quite alarming when one thought about it.

Aunt Mei stated she didn’t need to be hospitalized, as the doctor mentioned earlier that after the IV drip was done and the medicine was collected, she could go home.

Lu Jiaxin went to see the doctor again, and indeed as Aunt Mei had said, she could simply take the medicine at home. According to the doctor, it was better for the patient to maintain a cheerful mood at home.

After the IV drip, everyone headed back. When boarding the car, Gu Xiuxiu leaned against the window, letting Gu Haifan sit next to her while Lu Jiaxin sat on the right.

Lu Jiaxin didn’t mind and said, “Aunt, make sure you seek medical attention promptly if you feel unwell in the future.”

Guh Xiuxiu nodded to indicate she understood, then closed her eyes to rest. Seeing her like this, Jiaxin didn’t say anything more. When they got back to the villa, she went to her room and lay down to sleep.

Aunt Mei stayed by her side, while Lu Jiaxin and Gu Haifan weren’t needed and went downstairs to eat. Seeing that the table had both meat and vegetables, half of which suited her taste, she was quite pleased. It had to be said that Aunt Mei was thorough in her arrangements, even remembering to call home from the hospital to prepare her favorite dishes.

Lu Jiaxin checked her watch on the first floor and saw it was already half-past twelve. By that time, the fashion show had long ended. She tried calling Su Heyuan’s office but got no answer, so she left a message on his pager.

After lunch, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Su Heyuan, “Are you still at the Guh Residence? I’ll send the driver to pick you up.”

Hearing that he was at the office, Jiaxin prepared to make a trip there, “No need to pick me up, I’ll have Brother Feng and Sister Feng drive me over.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Upon arriving at Qirui, Lu Jiaxin noticed smiles on the employees’ faces. From their expressions, it was evident that the fashion show had been a success, though she didn’t know how many orders had been placed.

When she entered Su Heming’s office, he was on the phone, motioning for Lu Jiaxin to sit down before saying into the phone, “Boss Xu, rest assured, once the contract is signed, we will prioritize your supply.”

Contract negotiations meant a secured spot; without a contract, there was no deal. During Su Heming’s time in Hong Kong for over a year, he acutely understood that business was only certain with signed contracts as verbal agreements could change at any moment.

After hanging up, Su Heming spoke with joy on his face, “Today’s show was praised by everyone, and several people placed orders on the spot.”

“How many orders did we receive?”

Su Heming, with a smile in his eyes, replied, “So far, we have received eight orders, totaling 4.6 million. There will be more after tomorrow’s magazines and newspapers come out.”

At Su’s Garment Company, the orders he had secured in over half a year barely reached eight million. A successful fashion show alone could topple Su’s Garment Company.

Lu Jiaxin inquired, “Have we found all the Mainland subcontracting factories? If not, we must finalize them quickly; otherwise, if people become jealous, they will try to sabotage us.”

Su Heming reassured her with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve already found the Mainland garment subcontracting factories, and I had Heming sign the contracts with five of them yesterday afternoon. I will arrange for someone to take samples over there later so they can start work.”

“Who will oversee it?”

“Heming will initially keep an eye on things.”

Lu Jiaxin disagreed, stating, “Heming isn’t an employee of our company and we’re not paying him; it’s not appropriate for him to do this. Moreover, with the increase in orders, we must have someone there to oversee. If something goes wrong, we’ll have to pay.”

Su Heyuan naturally understood the importance of this matter, “I’m planning to take care of things here and then head over.”

“Have you spoken with Susan? If she agrees to come to our company, arrange for her to go to Yangcheng City. With her capabilities, she’s more than qualified.”

“She has agreed. But since this is so important, I’m thinking of overseeing it myself.”

“Big Brother Su, trust those you hire; don’t hire those you mistrust. If you’re so unsure, why spend a lot of money to hire her in the first place, just to waste money?”

Su Heyuan agreed, “Okay, I’ll arrange for her to head over to Hong Kong later.”
