Ye Qing paused slightly, holding the phone, utterly puzzled and confused by Xu Xiaoyue's seemingly random words: "I don't have a TV in my shop."
"Oh, I almost forgot." Xu Xiaoyue on the other end of the phone suddenly realized. She said, "I'll come find you right away and tell you the details."
Because of her personality, Xu Xiaoyue was easily startled, so Ye Qing didn't take it too seriously. After hanging up the phone, he went about his own business.
However, no matter how big Ye Qing's heart is, she had just broken up with Xi Quan, so it was impossible for her not to care at all.
So people were sitting there, holding pens and writing on paper, but Ye Qing just couldn't calm down.
So Ye Qing simply put down his pen, buried his head in his arms, and lay face down on the table.
After a long while, Ye Qing slowly raised her head, rubbed her face with both hands, then placed them directly on her head, gathered them up with her hands, found a strip of cloth to tie her hair up, and picked up her pen again.
Although she seemed perfectly fine, her eyes were red.
There's nothing a good meal can't solve—that's a foodie's perspective.
For Ye Qing, her hard work was to earn money. Only by keeping herself busy could Ye Qing feel secure, so the only way to relieve her worries was to work hard.
Without thinking about anything else, Ye Qing buried herself in drawing and designing. Her thoughts flowed like a spring, and she had a lot of inspiration. She not only designed several more sets of clothes, but also drew a sketch of the uniform for Xi Quan Company.
The men's outfits were relatively simple, just a suit, while the women's outfits consisted of a suit jacket and a skirt instead of pants.
A simple suit would be too ordinary, so Ye Qing put effort into some details. The women's suit was designed with a corsage made of silk scarf, and the waist was fitted to accentuate the curves.
Since the fabric had already been agreed upon and the design had been finalized, all that was left was production. Seeing that there was still time, Ye Qing didn't want to be idle, so she went to the knitting factory.
The knitting factory had already made arrangements, and more importantly, many of their employees had been idle for a long time and wanted to work before the new year to earn more money.
Moreover, the knitting factory had some leftover white polyester fabric from a long time ago. When Ye Qing was negotiating with the knitting factory, he said he wanted this fabric to make shirts for his suits.
For the knitting factory, those fabrics were just sitting there anyway, and now that Ye Qing needed them, giving them money was a good thing.
Because it had been stored for a long time, even though Ye Qing was paying, it was still cheaper than buying it again, making it a very cost-effective option.
So before the fabric for the suit jackets arrived, the industry thought of using the fabric that the knitting factory had to make the shirts first.
So work started that very afternoon.
Ye Qing stayed in the knitting factory workshop until very late before leaving.
When she returned to the store, the two young ladies had already left, and Xu Xiaoyue was still waiting for Ye Qing.
As soon as Xu Xiaoyue saw Ye Qing return, she quickly said, "Let me go with you to buy a TV tomorrow and put it in the store."
Ye Qing went to look at fabrics in the morning, running around all morning. By the time she got back it was almost noon. She also broke up with Xi Quan. After that, she finalized the design and went to the knitting factory. She was exhausted both physically and mentally every day.
They didn't have Xu Xiaoyue's energy, nor could they quite understand why Xu Xiaoyue was so agitated: "Isn't buying a TV unnecessary?"
"Aren't you going to stay here for the New Year? Won't you be bored without a TV?"
Back in Xiaoyao Village, Ye Qing didn't watch much television. After all, she was just a dependent, and watching television was a luxury she couldn't afford.
So over time, Ye Qing got used to it. "I'm used to it. It's okay if I don't watch TV."
"Why don't you put a TV in the store and keep it on while you're open? Buy some recordings of fashion shows and play them on a loop in the store. Wouldn't that be great?" Xu Xiaoyue suggested.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "That's good, but if that's the case, we'll have to buy a video recorder. Even if we're going to buy one, we should think it over first. There's no need to rush like you said. We'll go buy it tomorrow."
Xu Xiaoyue said, "Didn't I tell you on the phone before that you could watch TV the day after tomorrow? If you don't buy it tomorrow, you won't be able to watch it the day after tomorrow."
Ye Qing asked in bewilderment, "What kind of TV show is it that I absolutely have to watch?"
"I was eating lunch at school, and the TV in the school cafeteria was on. I saw a preview for a program that I thought you'd like to watch. So I thought I'd get you a TV." Xu Xiaoyue said this because she knew Ye Qing could afford to buy a TV.
What Xu Xiaoyue said piqued Ye Qing's curiosity, and he wanted to see it. However, although Ye Qing could afford to buy a TV, it wasn't really a necessity, so he hesitated and didn't immediately agree to Xu Xiaoyue's offer.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't want to say too much to Ye Qing, because if she said too much, there would be no surprise. So even though she could tell that Ye Qing wasn't very interested, Xu Xiaoyue didn't try to persuade him any further.
It was getting late, and some students had already left the school, so Xu Xiaoyue didn't go back to school and stayed at the shop with Ye Qing.
After a long day, Ye Qing thought she could fall asleep as soon as she lay down, but all she could think about was Xi Quan.
To be honest, before this, Ye Qing didn't think her feelings for Xi Quan were that deep, because all along, Ye Qing had been passive in this relationship, and even felt a bit forced into it.
But unexpectedly, now that they've separated, Ye Qing tried not to think about it, but Xi Quan suddenly popped into her mind: his anger, his grievances, his resentment, his speechless frustration, and his impatience as he took the initiative to show weakness to Ye Qing, yet was still somewhat unwilling and gritted his teeth...
Vivid images replayed in Ye Qing's mind.
I don't know when, but two hot tears streamed down my face, soaking my pillow.
Ye Qing raised her arm and wiped her eyes, then closed them, trying to stop thinking about it. But some things she couldn't simply stop thinking about just because she didn't want to.
After closing her eyes, the image of Xi Quan carrying her down the mountain in the heavy snow flashed into Ye Qing's mind again. She gripped the blanket tightly with both hands and bit the corner of the blanket hard to keep herself from crying out.
Clothing stores open late, and Ye Qing hadn't slept well the night before, so she didn't get up too early. After getting up and getting ready with Xu Xiaoyue, they opened the store.
The store had just opened, and before the other two young ladies arrived, a very unexpected person came in.
Ye Qing was in the inner room when he heard Xu Xiaoyue's angry voice: "What are you doing here?"
Although he didn't know who it was, it was never good to argue in a business, so Ye Qing quickly came out from the inner room.
To be honest, Ye Qing was a little surprised when he saw who it was and asked, "You need something? I think I've made myself perfectly clear."
