She stood outside the shop, looking at the red cloth hanging outside, and murmured, "Red means celebration."
The road ahead is long, but Jiang Xue is fully prepared and will take it one step at a time.
After making money, she opened several more shops. She saved up money first, and when the time was right, her vision was to own her own brand of clothing and a production factory.
Having struggled and toiled in her past life, she was still just an employee, despite her meager annual salary. Now that fate has granted her a second chance in this era brimming with opportunities, she is determined to seize them.
She bought a few steamed buns and fried dough sticks and put them on the small table behind her for Shaoheng and Shaomeng to eat. "Be good, you two. Your aunt will earn money to buy you candied hawthorns."
She took out a small wooden stick that children like to play with and placed it on the table.
The two little ones quickly found themselves having a great time.
Jiang Xue looked at the two children with satisfaction. Children in that innocent era were indeed easily satisfied.
A mother and daughter walked in shortly afterward.
"Where is your boss? We need to make clothes."
Jiang Xue saw that the girl was wearing a cotton dress, snow-white nylon stockings pulled up high, and her little leather shoes were polished to a shine.
"I'm the boss here. Just let me know if you need anything." Jiang Xue knew they were a dual-income family and their financial situation must be good, but as a businesswoman, she still needed to have the confidence she was entitled to.
"What can you do at such a young age?" The girl's mother said incredulously, with a hint of disdain, and pulled the girl away.
Jiang Xue quickly stepped forward and called out to them, "Don't worry, I make all my child's clothes myself. I'm not just joking about opening this shop." Jiang Xue said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
The girl's mother thought about it and realized that what she said made sense; the styles worn by the two children seemed quite novel.
"Do you have any good quality fabrics here? I'd like to take a look at the materials first."
Jiang Xue was suddenly in a dilemma. She had originally planned to take on some old clothes and remodel them into new ones, since her resources were limited and her and Ji Chen's combined savings were only enough to take over the shop.
But Jiang Xue really didn't want to miss out on this deal.
"I don't have any fabric here right now," Jiang Xue said with a simple smile.
The girl's mother's face immediately darkened. "You run a tailor shop, but you don't have any fabric. Are you just messing around like this? Are you deliberately trying to make fun of us?"
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Jiang Xue quickly stopped them again.
The girl's mother immediately got angry and said rudely, "What? We can't even go out? We don't have that much time to waste, get out of my way."
Jiang Xue calmly replied, "You and your daughter really do look alike."
The mother and daughter softened their attitude towards Jiang Xue slightly after noticing her lack of ulterior motives in their polite conversation.
“Auntie, you can actually get the fabric here and have it made. The styles I have are not available elsewhere.” Jiang Xue’s attitude was very friendly, and her tone was full of patience.
The girl's mother looked at Jiang Xue with a puzzled expression, "Styles? What styles are there?"
"Auntie, it's like this, my shop is temporarily selling bridal gowns, you can see there's a red cloth hanging at my door."
That's just empty talk. Jiang Xue is too particular about all that; she just wants to make money first.
"You don't even have a piece of cloth, and you say you're making a wedding dress? You're talking nonsense. And how do you know my girl is getting married?" The girl's mother looked at Jiang Xue with suspicion.
