Chapter 689: Meet at 273, out of the mountain _4
Of course, she had no idea—
that the name “Bai Jian” had caused such an earthquake in the music world over the past year.

The winters in Jiangjing were quick to get cold.
It was simple for Ji Heng to make summer dresses for Bai Lian, but winter clothes were not done as quickly as before. One piece of clothing could take half a month or even longer to finish.
Bai Lian’s wardrobe had some additional clothes sent over by Ming Dongheng.
...
After Gao Yan learned of this from Ming Dongheng, she asked Bai Lian to meet at Qingxin Building on a Sunday afternoon so that the tailor could measure her size.
Upon hearing this, Gao Shu also brought out several pieces of rare fabric.
Looking at the fabrics she brought, which were fine and shimmered on the surface.
These were jobs that only Gao Yan and Gao Shu could undertake, apart from those Jiang Fulai hurriedly worked on.
Bai Lian stood on the carpet, her arms casually extended, her brows and eyes lazily drooping, letting others take her measurements.
The female tailor noted down the figures on paper.
Gao Shu and Gao Yan stood to one side, looking on at this scene from an angle, which was quite harmonious.
After the measurements, the female tailor took the data and left. Gao Yan gestured for Bai Lian to come and try the new pastries at Qingxin Building to see if they suited her taste.
It was at this moment.
Secretary Xue came in from outside, appearing somewhat flustered; she was slightly impolite, knocking and barging in, “Madam Xu, Miss Bai.”
She stood in the hall, greeted Gao Yan and Bai Lian, then looked towards Gao Shu, “Mr. Shuo has categorically declined your invitation. Today, he accepted Vice President Jiu’s invitation and is watching a rehearsal at the theater.”
These were all insiders here.
Gao Yan and Gao Shu had decades of friendship, and as for Bai Lian, she was someone that Jiang Fulai and a few others had high hopes for.
Secretary Xue had no intention of avoiding the topic.
So as not to make Bai Lian feel uncomfortable, she did not treat Bai Lian as an outsider.
“He made it clear he’s siding with Jiu Yinghui?” Gao Shu put down her teacup and stood up. She was the first to find Shuo Qingyu, thinking she had a fair chance of success.
