Chapter 78 Shen Wancheng Takes Stock of Her Abilities
Shen Wancheng's eyes lit up when she heard Shen Yao's words.
However, she didn't rush to ask.
Shen Wancheng waved to Shen Yao first, "You get out of the car first, we'll talk when we get back."
Shen Yao quickly got out of the car, took Shen Wancheng's arm, and walked into the building.
Cora followed behind them, carrying her own suitcase.
As soon as they got home, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao were still changing their shoes when Shen Yao couldn't wait to say something.
"Sister, if I help Ms. Lan improve her embroidery skills, then Li Gang won't have inherited all of Ms. Lan's skills, right? This way, Ms. Lan will be more confident in defeating Li Gang in the competition, and she certainly won't miss the opportunity to ruin Li Gang's reputation."
“After Li Gang lost in public, he will definitely be disliked by the Japanese who hired him. Didn’t Gu Jinxing say that dealing with him would be easy? We can let Gu Jinxing take action then.”
Shen Wancheng nodded, "Theoretically it's feasible, but are you so confident that you can take Ms. Lan's embroidery skills to the next level?"
If it comes to martial arts, Shen Yao can help, Shen Wancheng believes her completely.
But when it comes to embroidery, even knowing that Shen Yao came from ancient times, Shen Wancheng was still very skeptical that Shen Yao knew how to do it.
"hey-hey."
Shen Yao knew why Shen Wancheng didn't quite believe her, and she laughed sheepishly.
Because there was a Filipino maid and Cora at home, Shen Yao leaned close to Shen Wancheng and spoke in a low voice.
“My mother’s embroidery is top-notch in the entire Tianqi Dynasty. I am a girl after all, and when I was little, they must have wanted me to learn embroidery properly in the backyard. But my heart was not in that. I only begged to learn martial arts when I got a little older.”
"So, although I can't embroider a decent piece myself, I'm still very familiar with the techniques."
Shen Wancheng tilted her head and looked at Shen Yao for a while before speaking.
"Really?"
Shen Yao puffed out her chest. "Sure, no doubt about it."
Shen Wancheng chuckled, "Who's going to hit you? So you know Suzhou embroidery? Are you confident you can improve Ms. Lan's embroidery skills?"
“I carefully observed Suzhou embroidery. When I saw that cheongsam at the He Mansion this morning, I thought I would tell you when I got home that I had seen embroidery with an even more exquisite technique. This technique is almost identical to my mother’s. However, my mother also knows how to do double-sided three-dimensional embroidery.”
Shen Wancheng's eyes showed surprise, but there were also things she didn't understand.
"I know about double-sided embroidery, but what does 'triple-sided embroidery' mean?"
"Double-sided embroidery is much easier to do if the pattern is the same on both sides by hiding the needle. But three-different embroidery refers to different designs, different needles, and different colors. The finished embroidery has completely different patterns on both sides."
Shen Wancheng affirmed, "This will definitely convince Ms. Lan."
"But do you really still remember the embroidery technique?"
Shen Yao said helplessly, "Anyone who was confined to the inner quarters for several years to learn just this one thing would find it unforgettable."
Shen Wancheng was relieved.
However, she also said with a smile, "Then you haven't mastered it even after studying for several years."
Shen Yao shrugged.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just not cut out for it."
After Shen Wancheng finished speaking with Shen Yao, she turned around and glanced at Ke La, who was still standing at the entrance.
Tell the Filipino maid, "Take her to that empty room to stay in."
After the maid agreed, she led Cora into the room.
Shen Wancheng glanced at the clock on the wall; it was not yet four in the afternoon.
She felt a little sleepy again, so she told Shen Yao and went to her room to sleep.
Shen Wancheng is only a month and a half pregnant. Her morning sickness is not severe, but she is feeling sleepy more and more often.
Shen Wancheng used to have no habit of taking a nap, and now if she doesn't take a nap, she's practically forcing herself to stay awake until three or four o'clock.
She fell asleep within minutes of entering the room.
Shen Wancheng didn't know how long she had slept.
After she woke up, she had a sudden realization and went to see the Life Achievement System.
Shen Wancheng first glanced at the knowledge and abilities she had already purchased.
Psychology expert, financial analysis expert, maternal and infant health expert, and expert in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Shen Wancheng purchased three of these four abilities in order to better protect herself or her child.
Some people might wonder why there aren't enough combat abilities to buy. Combat abilities are physical abilities. This system is a knowledge-based system; it can only fill a person's mind with knowledge, which is why it doesn't offer combat abilities.
Even Shen Yao, she is not as skilled in martial arts as she was in ancient times, and is still in the recovery stage.
However, Shen Yao had experienced the sensations of using martial arts techniques before, so even though her physical foundation was zero, she could quickly learn them.
If Shen Wancheng were to exchange for the title of martial arts research expert, he would only have an empty shell of theoretical knowledge.
When others are actually fighting, their bodies move immediately upon their intentions; no one waits for you to react in your mind.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng could only find ways to protect herself in other ways, such as hiring someone to protect her in terms of combat skills.
Even if Gu Jinxing didn't send Shen Wancheng, the female mercenary, today, Shen Wancheng was already planning to hire a female bodyguard.
However, ordinary female bodyguards are definitely not as good as mercenaries, so Shen Wancheng did not refuse Gu Jinxing's kindness.
The latter two abilities are knowledge-based abilities that were purchased after the system granted the achievement of having both a son and a daughter.
Originally, I had 120 achievement points, but after buying these two abilities, I only have 80 points left.
Since Shen Wancheng had already publicly used several languages, in case someone tried to find fault with her about them in the future, it would be better to exchange her for translation expert skills.
After all, she only knows a few words of English and the other languages; she's just a pretty face.
In addition, she also needs to be proficient in business management and operations.
Shen Wancheng nervously selected the MBA (Master of Business Administration) expert knowledge and skills category.
Why the anxiety?
Because Shen Wancheng knew in his later life that this degree was mostly used by successful people to enhance their resumes, and its actual value depended entirely on the school and the student themselves.
However, the addition of the word "expert" after "MBA" suggests that the person must be a true expert in this field.
In addition, considering that she wanted to vigorously develop and promote China's own luxury goods, Shen Wancheng should first understand what treasures Chinese culture has to offer.
Furthermore, only when Shen Wancheng herself understands can she speak meaningfully to these craftsmen and attract capable craftsmen to cooperate with her.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng chose another expert in intangible cultural heritage.
Shen Wancheng used up 60 achievement points to exchange for three knowledge abilities at once.
Among them, the non-material cultural experts, who seem to be just supplementing their knowledge, are the most expensive, worth 30 achievement points.
However, after Shen Wancheng obtained this ability, she could easily think of any intangible cultural heritage and immediately understand its origin, characteristics, craftsmanship, and so on. Shen Wancheng felt that the achievement points were well spent.
With this knowledge and ability, Shen Wancheng felt much more confident about persuading Ms. Lan the next day.
Shen Wancheng left the system's consciousness space and opened her eyes.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
It's time for dinner.
Shen Wancheng got up quickly.
As soon as she stepped out of her room, she saw Shen Yao and Ke La fighting in the living room.
