Chapter 498: Good things come with time
"That's great! We'll have a holiday after the exams in two days!" An An's eyes lit up and she was very happy.
"Mom, let me sleep with you tonight." Since she had a place to stay, she didn't want to go back to the dormitory.
Lin Xia had sensed that something was wrong with her daughter, as if she had encountered something. When she heard her say that, she smiled and asked, "What are you going to do for class tomorrow?"
"There are no classes now, it's all review." The course has been completed and only the exam is left.
Lin Xia stopped objecting after hearing this, "Okay! Sleep with me."

Lying next to Lin Xia at night, An An felt like he was back in his childhood, with so much to say that he didn't know how to say it.
An An's hesitation to speak made Lin Xia worried. Could it be that she met a boy and was worried about something? She carefully considered her words and asked tentatively, "Do you have a boy you like at school?"
An An suddenly thought of that familiar figure and shook her head, "No."
Hearing Lin Xia ask this, An An became curious: "Mom, how did you and Dad know each other?"
She vaguely remembered that her parents took her to the park when she was a child, but she was not sure how they met.
She denied it very quickly, but Lin Xia's heart still skipped a beat. She looked up at An An and saw that there was only curiosity in her eyes, without any thoughts of a young girl in love. She felt relieved for a moment, "We met on a blind date..."
After Lin Xia finished telling how they met and got along, An An murmured softly, "That's great!" and then fell silent.
Lin Xia looked over from the side and touched An An's sleeping face. After not seeing her for half a year, the little girl's childishness had faded a lot and she gradually looked like a young girl. She just didn't know who would be the lucky customer of this little cabbage in the future.
The next day, An An stayed in the hotel to review while Lin Xia went out to do some business.
She came to Beijing because she established a relationship with the producer of the Spring Festival Gala through Lin Jianjun.
Although she knew that there would be no sponsor for the first session in history, Lin Xia still wanted to give it a try. What if?
Even if the first session fails, there is always next year! You can't wait until the last minute to find connections.
I met Lin Jianjun and arrived at the place where I had agreed to meet the producer. We felt a little unfamiliar with each other when we first met.
"I wonder what Comrade Lin wants to talk about?" The producer wore glasses and looked more like a scholar.
Lin Xia smiled and proposed a way of cooperation with the sponsor. The other party was silent after listening to it. After thinking for a while, he said: "I can't make a decision on this matter alone."
Lin Xia also expressed her understanding that decisions made in an organization like theirs are not like those in a company, where one person makes the final decision.
"It's okay, I can wait for the result. Apart from this matter, we are willing to sponsor the host's dress free of charge." Lin Xia had thought about this matter carefully. Although it seemed to be a loss-making business, it would have a lot of impact in the future.
The producer was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lin Xia to do this, "But we already have clothing sponsorship."
Jing City also has its own clothing factory, and after deciding to produce this program, they had already taken on the task.
Lin Xia was not surprised to learn this. The Spring Festival Gala had been prepared early and it was certain that it would be finalized long ago.
"As it's an evening party, there will be quite a lot of people attending, right? We have encountered various situations when preparing for evening parties before, so more preparation is a guarantee." Lin Xia said with a smile.
When the producer heard this, he thought about it and realized that it made sense. What if something went wrong?
"That's troublesome, but the sponsorship issue..."
Lin Xia smiled, "Well, good things take time. It depends on how your company discusses it."
After leaving an impression on the other party, Lin Xia didn't say anything more.
After the paper man left, Lin Jianjun asked in confusion: "Do we really have to send clothes?"
"It's sponsoring clothes." Lin Xia corrected his statement.
Lin Jianjun’s clothing store has been doing well, but if he wants to seize the opportunity, he can’t just be a middleman.
"Have you ever thought about opening a clothing factory? There are many small textile factories in Guangcheng. The fabrics there are novel and cheap. This will definitely be a trend in the future." Lin Xia looked at Lin Jianjun, who looked a little hesitant.
Lin Jianjun hadn't thought about it yet, but when Lin Xia mentioned it, he felt a little moved.
"For design, you can ask students or teachers from the Fashion Institute for help, and the fabrics can be found in Guangcheng." Lin Xia explained everything to Lin Jianjun one by one.
"I'll go back and think about it." Lin Jianjun was already tempted.
Lin Xia also urged him, saying that whether he could grasp the opportunity depended on what he thought, and she couldn't push Lin Jianjun forward.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Xia took An An out for dinner.
Just as she sat down with An An, Lin Xia was holding the menu and was about to ask An An to order, when she saw her staring blankly in one direction.
Lin Xia followed the line of sight and saw a tall boy wearing a military coat with certain features visible on him.
Seeing An An staring at her with some surprise and some emotions on his face, Lin Xia withdrew his gaze unnoticeably and pretended not to see it.
The waiter's figure blocked her view, and An An finally came to her senses. She looked at Lin Xia guiltily, and when she saw that she didn't react, An An immediately looked at the menu in front of her obediently.
After the meal, when Lin Xia went to pay the bill, An An raised her head and looked around for the figure, but it seemed as if it was all an illusion.
"Have you finished your meal?" Lin Xia happened to run into the boy in the green coat when she was paying the bill. She immediately understood after seeing his face.
No one could stop the girl's thoughts, and Lin Xia didn't want to stop her. It seemed that she might have misunderstood.
In the next two days, Lin Xia bought some local specialties and then waited for An An to finish her exams before going home together.
Lin Jianjun thought about it all night and made up his mind after getting the support of his wife.
After finding Lin Xia, Lin Jianjun said seriously, "I'll trouble you with the fabrics, little sister."
Lin Xia was happy that he made such a decision, "Don't worry."
A few days later, Lin Xia took An An back to Guangcheng after he finished the exam.
The first thing she did after returning to Guangcheng was to go to a clothing factory she knew to look at clothes.
She didn't just say that she wanted to sponsor clothes for the Spring Festival Gala. She had prepared them long ago. If they were not used, she had planned to keep them in the clothing store as a store flagship.
The clothes were designed by Lin Xia herself. In addition to formal dresses, there are also the most fashionable wedding dresses.
Lin Xia was greatly inspired because a customer had previously casually mentioned that there was no wedding dress to wear to the wedding. After all, who needs styling more than the bride?
Lin Xia selected several dresses suitable for the Spring Festival Gala and had them packed and sent to Lin Jianjun, who then delivered them to the person in charge.
The other clothes were taken back to the clothing store and hung up on a few custom-made model stands that were just enough to hold them up. One was placed in the window, and everyone passing by could see the gorgeous wedding dress through the glass.
Taking into account the conservatism of the times, the fabric of the upper body is lace. Lin Xia designed it into a cheongsam collar, dotted with sparkling pearls according to the lace pattern, and the lower body is a dreamy princess skirt.
I have to say the effect is really good, no one would not be attracted by that dress.
