Although Lin Chuchu doesn't go back often, the two still recognize her.

When they arrived, they saw the man helping the factory workers unload goods.

The two quickly greeted them, and Mother Mu said with a smile.

"You guys go about your business, don't worry about me."

The two went straight into the shop and took out a stack of ledgers from the locked safe.

"These are the accounts for this year, including purchases and sales."

"Would you like to take a look?"

Lin Chuchu quickly shook her head, "Mom, I don't want to look, I don't need to look, I'll go look at the clothing catalog."

This was Lin Chuchu's suggestion. Since the store opened, they have put pictures of every outfit into the clothing catalog, along with design drawings.

Next to it was a comparison of monthly and yearly sales, as well as customer satisfaction.

There are now five such booklets. Lin Chuchu picked up the one with the most recent date and started reading it.

It contains clothing for all four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Since it's not too cold in Beijing, the winter clothes are mostly light cotton-padded jackets, and you can hardly see any down jackets.

The only few styles available are those that can be customized even if purchased directly from stock.

The clothing photography was relatively simple; it was just a shop assistant wearing the clothes, and only the clothes were photographed, not the face.

In fact, Lin Chuchu also noticed a pattern: many new clothing styles are improvements on older styles.

Clothing styles are becoming bolder and the colors are becoming more diverse.

Some of the clothes were even designed by Lin Chuchu.

Suddenly, she saw a catalog of custom-made clothing.

Every design, from the embroidery to even each button, is meticulously crafted.

It's obvious that a lot of thought and effort was put into it.

"Mom, who commissioned these clothes? There seem to be a lot of them, and the quality is so good. I'm afraid each one must have been expensive."

Mrs. Mu nodded with a smile, "These clothes were all custom-made for the wives of officials. Oh, by the way..."

She pointed to a piece of clothing and said with a smile, "Does this piece of clothing look familiar?"

Lin Chuchu was taken aback, only then realizing that she seemed to have seen the style of this dress somewhere before.

She thought for a moment before saying, "It's not the outfit the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala wore, is it?"

Her tone was full of disbelief.

Is Mom's business really that successful?

"I knew you would remember. This outfit did indeed appear on this year's Spring Festival Gala, not only for the hosts, but also for a singer."

After saying that, Mother Mu pointed to another one, "This is it."

Lin Chuchu was so surprised she clicked her tongue. "Mom, you're amazing! You can actually make clothes for those big stars."

"Mom, have you met those big stars?"

Lin Chuchu looked at her expectantly.

She used to think that those big stars were very distant, but she never expected that one of them would actually appear in her life.

Unfortunately, she missed out.

Mu's mother rolled her eyes at her with amusement, "The companies that contact me are all those celebrities' companies, but I've never met those celebrities."

"Our designs were bold and beautiful, which is why they were chosen by our company."

"However, it's good that we only selected two styles. Now our clothing store's reputation has been established."

"After the first month of the lunar calendar, there might be other orders."

Although China's overall economy is lagging behind, some people have become rich first, and these people love to follow trends. They might come to her to order clothes.

This is also because there are relatively few clothing companies in China, and only a handful have excellent craftsmanship.

So when choosing the tallest person from a group of short people, their clothing finally caught the eye.

Lin Chuchu was naturally very happy that the family business was getting better and better.

"Mom, can you get me some? I'll draw some dress designs for you and give you some ideas."

From the perspective of later generations, these clothes are still a bit too conservative.

While the clothing choices of ordinary people are quite daring, they still lag far behind those of other countries.

Therefore, she planned to help her mother broaden her thinking so that she could make a name for herself more quickly if she got similar orders in the future.

Upon hearing this, Mu's mother immediately brought over some paper and sat down next to Lin Chuchu, watching her draw.

The first styles I worked on were princess dresses—long ones, short ones, sexy ones, cute ones, one-shoulder ones, double-shoulder ones, off-the-shoulder ones, with intricate patterns, etc. I drew whatever came to mind.

Once the princess dresses are almost done, the next step is a fitted long dress, a backless dress, an off-the-shoulder dress paired with a belt, or a dress with three-dimensional flowers and rhinestones, or a dress with a slit.

"Chuchu, isn't this backless dress a bit too daring? Does anyone actually choose it?"

These clothes look like they're made of very thin fabric; the thin fabric clings to the body, and Mu's mother felt embarrassed just looking at them.

"Mom, you can try recommending it first. Although I can't guarantee that those people will like it, you can pair it with some things, like a shawl."

"Some celebrities with great figures would absolutely love this kind of clothing."

However, such clothing is not suitable for widespread promotion, and ordinary people would not dare to imitate such an outfit. But if a celebrity likes it, it might increase the store's popularity.

Such clothes are quite sexy, while there are also elegant and simple dresses, embroidered with traditional Chinese patterns or other floral designs.

Of course, these are just rough sketches. Lin Chuchu drew whatever came to mind, including not only women's clothing but also some men's clothing.

Men's clothing is simpler, but it is still divided into formal suits and casual wear. Men's and women's clothing can also be mixed and matched. Men's clothing often has more decorations or patterns than women's skirts.

Lin Chuchu drew more and more, and Mu's mother became more and more shocked. She couldn't help but ponder that these clothes were really too beautiful. If they were on stage, they would definitely look great.

At the same time, she gained more confidence in these clothes. Later, Mu's mother could submit her designs to the companies of those celebrities and artists, and maybe the clothes would be selected.

At this time, the country began to pay attention to copyright. Unless it was a common style that other clothing stores imitated, people dared not imitate some of the more expensive clothing.

If celebrities wear the clothes, they will only dare to produce similar ones, and they would never openly produce the exact same clothes, otherwise they would be sued.

Lin Chuchu sat there for several hours. When her father came to bring her food, she only ate a small bite.

Later, when he really couldn't think of anything else, he finally put down his pen.

"Mom, you can alter these clothes as you like. Sometimes, just a small change can completely change the style of the clothes."

"Don't take these things out all at once. Just take out one, two, or three at a time, depending on the situation."

Mother Mu flipped through the manuscripts. "Don't worry, I know."
