Chapter 257 Exposure

"Hey, you two are such a jerk. You can't let me sleep well so early in the morning, but you have to come to a place like this to squeeze in. What's the fun in that?"

Li Jing yawned as she followed Tian Xin, pushing her way through the clamor of vendors on the first floor of the mall. It took them about ten minutes to finally squeeze through the door and reach the elevator to the second floor.

Today is the last day of the trip south. In order to let his friends play here for one more day, Lin Zhou booked a flight back home in the evening.

Before leaving, she had to meet with Master Mo again to determine the requirements for future cooperation and the regular delivery time to ensure that the Hanfu products could develop smoothly in the planned direction after they were launched.

"Stop complaining." Tian Xin held Li Jing in one hand and Lin Zhou in the other, like they were leading two children into the elevator. Leaning against the wall, she asked, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

"have no idea!"

"You'll know in a minute!" She reached out and rubbed Li Jing's sleepy face, and said with a smile: "Remember, don't talk too much when you go in. This chef has a bad temper. But you can take a look at the cheongsam designs in her shop. It will be of great help to your design inspiration!"

"Is it that weird?"

"It's a must! You still don't believe my judgment?"

"That's not the case!" Li Jing rubbed her nose and said impatiently, "Oh, okay, okay, I get it! You're so nagging! You've only been with Lin Zhou for a few days, and you've already picked up such a bad habit!"

“…”

“…”

"I... am nagging?" Lin Zhou and Tian Xin looked at each other and pointed at themselves with disbelief on their faces.

"No way! You always say one sentence in three parts, how can you be so long-winded?"

"ah?"

"Stop!" Tian Xin walked over and closed his jaw: "We're here!" She took him out of the elevator.

"Tsk, they were in bed yesterday and they're already being affectionate today. It really is the sour smell of love!" Li Jing muttered as she followed behind them.

Master Mo’s shop is right at the elevator entrance, in the center of the second floor.

As soon as I entered, it was still as quiet as before, with only a few customers trying on clothes. The girl I met last time was in charge of reception.

There was a rhythmic "click-click" sound on the operating table. Master Mo was sitting in front of the sewing machine, hemming a sky-blue skirt.

"I'm busy, Master Mo!" Tian Xin walked to the operating table and greeted him.

Master Mo was concentrating and was startled by her voice. He suddenly stopped and the "click" sound stopped abruptly!

"Hey, you guys are here!"

"Well, I'm going back today, so I came to see you!"

"Come on, sit down!" Master Mo stood up from the operating table, took a few people to sit on the sofa in the center of the store, and called the little sister to get them some water!

Lin Zhou handed over the fruit basket he had been carrying all the way: "I don't know what your customs are here, so I brought you some fruit!"

"What's the big deal? Just come, what are you bringing? You people from the Northwest are just so particular!"

Master Mo took the fruit basket and put it aside with a smile. "What I love most is all kinds of novel clothing designs. Next time you come, remember to bring this!"

When several people heard this, they all smiled along with her.

After the laughter died down, Tian Xin took out the design and handed it over: "This batch has a total of 10 sets. Please make 10 sets of each set first. I will go back and test it out. If it works, I will increase the quantity later!"

"That's all there is to it! You don't even need to test the waters. It's guaranteed to sell out as soon as it goes online!" Master Mo said, "Did you read yesterday's news report?"

"No, I haven't had time to look yet!"

"The local news and forums are all over your interview video from yesterday. These suits have been all over the neighborhood. As soon as the news came out yesterday, someone came to me and asked if they could be custom made!"

"Really? So soon?"

Tian Xin was a little bit incredulous. It had been less than a day since he stepped down yesterday, and the news had spread so quickly!

"Yeah, so you don't have to think about testing the waters right now. As far as I'm concerned, once you've made this batch, just go find a few shopping malls and list them for sale. It won't be long before this trend spreads from Yiwu to all over the country. Are you still worried about running out of business later?"

After Master Mo finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Zhou: "What do you think, young man?"

"Uh... listen to her, listen to her!"

"Well, you can trust me on this one!" Master Mo said, "I've been in the clothing business for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered a situation like yesterday. Look—"

She went to the bar counter, brought back a stack of orders, and handed them to Tian Xin. "These were all placed after the news broke yesterday. There's a single set from a personal enthusiast who said he just loved the Yuehua dress you wore on stage and asked if I could make it bright red for his wedding."

"Ah? There's such a thing?" Tian Xin's face was full of disbelief: "Wedding dress?"

"Yes, after listening to your speech on stage, the girl thought the full moon pattern on the Yuehua dress would be perfect for a wedding gown, and she repeatedly asked me to make it as soon as possible. To be honest, I didn't expect it either. I've made many wedding gowns, but this is the first time I've used Hanfu as a wedding gown, other than the phoenix crown and bridal veil, and I'm not sure if it's suitable!"

Wedding dress?

Tian Xin fell silent, her mind racing: This Yuehua will indeed be used as a wedding dress in the future, so she used a full moon pattern. She didn't expect someone to understand her intention, which was truly rare.

"Since someone likes it, there's no question of whether it's suitable or not. Chinese weddings are always particular about elegance. If you really want to use it as a wedding dress, make the cut a little crisper, use satin as the fabric, and add auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns. Wouldn't that be enough?"

"Yes, auspicious dragon and phoenix, and a beautiful full moon—isn't that what a wedding dress is?" Master Mo slapped his thigh and quickly wrote it down: "If you want it to be made just like this, then I'll put it in the window as the main item."

"Well! It's all up to you!" Tian Xin flipped through the stack of orders again: "What about these?" She picked one out at random, and it contained a complete set of orders.

"Who wants a full set of these?"

"I didn't agree to any of these," Master Mo said. "These were all orders from my colleagues in Suzhou. There were also some brand owners who went to see the show. I don't know how they heard about my business, but they all came here like a swarm of bees yesterday!"

"They all came here? Didn't I explain it to them?"

"What's the point? Can't you see what these people are up to? Your collection got exposure at the show yesterday, so they came looking for you. If there were another collection that surpassed Yuehua, they probably wouldn't be so enthusiastic! Ultimately, they all want to be the first to come out and bring in business for their own brands!"

After Master Mo finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Tian Xin and said earnestly, "Girl, don't worry. Since you trust me, I will make this first version for you no matter what. I won't let anyone else get the upper hand. But you must remember that if you have new design ideas in the future, don't reveal them to anyone else until the finished product is completed!"
