"I wonder if your company would be willing to spend money to buy my designs, Uncle Hu. If so, I can design a few clothes for you when I get back today, and you can buy them and produce them according to my designs."

“Once the products I produce pass my inspection, I can place an order for them all and sell them in my store. This is the cooperation method I proposed today. Uncle Hu, you can go back and discuss it with your superiors. If you decide to cooperate, you can come to my store to find me after the Lantern Festival.”

"I'm going to Shanghai and Guangzhou again tomorrow to select goods," Zhao Huanhuan said with a smile.

Hu Zhan gave Zhao Huanhuan a thumbs up, "I really admire you young people. You have set a great example for women of this era. Before I met you, I had heard many female workers in our factory talk about you."

Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I own a clothing store, so I change into new clothes all the time and dress more fashionably."

"Yes, everyone says you're very fashionable. No wonder you're a boss in the fashion industry. Many people dress like you. I heard that the hair salons that you've had permed are doing incredibly well because of you," Hu Zhan said with a smile.

"Huh? I didn't get my hair permed in Yuancheng. I got it permed in Shanghai." Zhao Huanhuan was surprised. Someone's trying to scam her with her hairstyle?

"Hahahaha!" To everyone's surprise, Hu Zhan burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Haha, no wonder they went there because of your reputation. The hairstyles they got weren't as good as yours, and they even complained about the hair salon. In the end, those who didn't get their hair permed were jealous of them, saying that they weren't as good-looking as you, and no matter how much they tried, they would still look the same." Hu Zhan finished speaking and couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.

Zhao Huanhuan laughed until her stomach hurt, "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, which hair salon is trying to ride my coattails?"

Hu Zhan laughed and said, "There's a hair salon called Xiaomei Hair Salon on the street behind the department store. I heard that you got your hair permed there, and as a result, all the female factory workers in the fashion industry who were chasing after you went there to get their hair permed."

Zhao Huanhuan shook her head helplessly, "I've only been to her house for a haircut, and I've also accompanied my husband to get a haircut there."

As they were chatting and laughing, Zhao Fang returned carrying a neatly folded piece of fabric.

Hu Zhan nodded, "Put it on the table, you can go and get busy now. It's still the New Year holiday, you should go home early today!"

"Yes, Factory Director!" Zhao Fang nodded, turned and left.

Before leaving, she glanced at Lin Yuan, seemingly unintentionally.

But Lin Yuan's gaze was fixed on Zhao Huanhuan, and he didn't even glance at her.

After leaving the teahouse, Zhao Fang hid somewhere, wanting to see where Zhao Huanhuan and Lin Yuan were staying.

But she didn't expect that after Lin Yuan took Zhao Huanhuan out and said goodbye to Director Hu, he walked to a Jeep parked on the side of the road and drove away!

Zhao Fang: ......

So they all have cars now?

There are hardly any cars on the street, how come they have a car?

It seems Lin Yuan holds a high position in the military now?

But after he first glanced at her today, he didn't look at her again. Was it because his wife was there and he was afraid she would get angry and cause a scene?

Zhao Fang went home while pondering.

After driving for a while, Lin Yuan glanced back in the rearview mirror, his eyes darkening.

Zhao Huanhuan glanced at it as well, and smiled faintly, "How were you two when you were in school?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "It was alright. Back then, I was the class monitor for studies, and she was the class monitor for arts and culture. A lot of male classmates liked her."

"And you?" Zhao Huanhuan asked.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "I don't feel anything about that kind of thing. I have no idea what it feels like to like a girl. I just think that if I can't find a second solution to this problem, it's because I haven't studied algebra well enough."

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Huanhuan laughed at his words.

Lin Yuan drove with one hand, reached out and took her hand, then smiled, "Really, I was a late bloomer. Back then, I had no idea what those classmates who said they liked so-and-so were thinking."

"Isn't algebra great? Isn't geometry great? Isn't circuit theory great? Isn't mechanics great? With so many things we need to learn, who has the time to think about all that other nonsense?"

"Moreover, at that time I thought girls were troublesome. They would get annoyed or unhappy all the time and say that boys were bullying them."

"So, I usually try to avoid them whenever possible. As for Zhao Fang, my biggest impression of her is that she sang a song at the graduation party. It was very nice, but I can't even remember what the song was now."

Lin Yuan shook her head.

"So when did you realize you started paying attention to girls and liking them?" Zhao Huanhuan asked with a smile.

"It was probably after our squad leader got married that he was able to reunite with his wife. He happened to have an opportunity to transfer to another unit, and when he learned that there were single dormitories there, he transferred without hesitation. It was then that I truly felt the feeling of a man who meets a woman he likes and is willing to do anything for her."

"As a result, when I went back home for summer vacation, I ran into you. The moment I saw you, I could clearly feel my heart fluttering." As Lin Yuan said this, she turned her head and gave Zhao Huanhuan a gentle look.

Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said, "I know. Just focus on driving. There are a lot of people riding bicycles on the road."

Lin Yuan smiled and hummed in agreement, but didn't let go of her hand, focusing on driving with one hand.

Zhao Huanhuan chuckled. They've been married for so long, yet he's still so clingy; people would laugh at him if they saw him.

After that, Zhao Fang no longer posed any threat to Zhao Huanhuan. She and Lin Yuan stopped talking about her. They simply focused on living their own lives and doing their own things.

The next day, Zhao Huanhuan went out to buy goods.

This time, Zhao Huanhuan was accompanied by her husband and wife.

After visiting Shanghai, I went directly to Guangzhou.

The family didn't return until the seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

After the goods they ordered arrived at the store, Lin Yuan and her father went to pick them up and put them in the store.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Deputy Factory Director Hu went to the store to find Zhao Huanhuan, but unfortunately the store was closed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Deputy Factory Director Hu came to find Zhao Huanhuan again and happened to run into Lin Yuan. When he asked, he learned that Zhao Huanhuan had not yet returned from purchasing goods.

He chatted with Lin Yuan for a while and learned that Lin Yuan was indeed still an active-duty soldier, but Lin Yuan did not say where he was serving.

After Zhao Huanhuan returned, she told Lin Yuan that she had taken her parents to see the spinning machines and looms.

She said she had a general idea of ​​the price, but they didn't have enough money to get started, and she would have to work hard for another year.

Lin Yuan asked her if she wanted him to help her get money, but Zhao Huanhuan refused, not wanting him to get involved with money. She said she would work hard for another year and cooperate well with the Second Garment Factory this year.

Zhao Huanhuan told Lin Yuan that there is more than one road to success. As long as you look carefully, you can always find several paths.
