Chapter 665 You Still Speak for Him
Shaoan's expression was unusually serious: "Mom, you know me. I have loved fashion design since I was a child. This is my dream. Now that I have the opportunity to realize my dream, how could I possibly apply for other majors?"
Chen Shurong was a little upset. Shaoan had clearly promised her that he would apply for medical school, so why did this kid change his major without saying a word?
"Shaoan, Mom has already told you that the economic situation in the mainland is not as good as in Hong Kong. For most people, having enough to eat is a luxury. Who would ask you to design clothes? Isn't this a joke?"
Everyone listened to Chen Shurong's words, looked at each other, and felt that what she said made sense.
Only Shang Ruoting doesn't think so.
As a soul from later generations, I am quite familiar with the development of some industries.
Starting from 1982, a personal clothing craze emerged in the mainland, and as a result, more and more people chose to go into business, and a large number of them chose the clothing industry.
Shaoan graduated from university in 1983. After graduation, if he had been ambitious, he could have created his own clothing brand.
In the 1980s, it was no exaggeration to say that the clothing business was extremely profitable.
Many businessmen started out as clothing resellers. They chose to purchase clothing from some clothing production areas in the south, and then took them to the mainland to sell them at prices twice or even higher than the purchase price.
Although Shaoan will not resell clothes, he can definitely become a source industry for clothing. As long as his ideas are novel and popular with people, he can be said to have caught the wave of the rising clothing business.
Therefore, Shang Ruoting not only did not object to Shaoan applying for the Fashion Design Department, but also supported it very much.
Just when Shaoan was about to be discouraged by everyone's attitude, Shang Ruoting spoke.
"I think Shaoan's chosen major is very good. What China lacks most right now is fashion designers. He will definitely become a leader in this industry in the future."
After he finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted from Shaoan to Shang Ruoting.
Shaoan's eyes, which had been somewhat dim, lit up again.
"Sister, do you really think so?" Shao An's enthusiasm was ignited again when his choice was recognized.
In Shaoan's heart, his sister and brother-in-law are the most far-sighted people. Now that he has received recognition from his sister, Shaoan is more determined to learn fashion design well.
Although Tan Chen didn't know much about the clothing industry, he was still very convinced by what his wife said.
His wife's foresight is unmatched by ordinary people.
Chen Shurong looked at Shang Ruoting in confusion.
"Tingting, Shaoan is young and naive, and you are still speaking for him."
Several members of the Tan family also thought the same thing, but they were reluctant to say it out loud. They all looked at Shang Ruoting, wanting to hear her explanation.
Shang Ruoting knew that if she didn't explain it in detail today, no one would be able to eat.
"There's a reason why I say this. A while ago, Tan Chen and I went to the south, and on the train we saw people buying clothes there to sell back home.
I think the clothing business is just getting started and will definitely become mainstream in the future. By the time Shaoan graduates, the clothing industry will probably have already begun to develop vigorously."
After a pause, Shang Ruoting continued.
"I'm not exaggerating, but I personally believe that no matter what you do, it's best to seize the opportunity before others realize it, so that you can have better development.
On the contrary, if one waits until everyone is optimistic about this piece of fat meat and then follows the crowd to do things, it can only be said that this person does not have the courage to challenge and can only eat what others have left.
To put it bluntly, Shaoan applied for the fashion design major out of interest. He hopes to develop in the field he is interested in, or even become a founder. This is the courage a boy should have.
"That's well said. As a boy, you should indeed have courage." Mr. Tan was the first to agree with what Shang Ruoting said.
The others also nodded, thinking that what Shang Ruoting said made sense.
Shaoan is a boy who devotes himself to his hobbies and dreams. This is a kind of courage.
After everyone thought about it carefully, they realized that what Shang Ruoting said was true.
Chen Shurong no longer worried about it.
Since fashion design is her child's favorite industry, she, as a mother, should support it.
After figuring it out, Chen Shurong said, "In that case, you should study hard!"
Shang Lifeng and Old Lady Shang looked at each other and nodded.
No matter what, as long as the child likes it, all they, as the elders, need to do is support him.
When Shang Ruonan heard this, she seemed to remember something.
"Tingting is right. When I was working on the passenger ship, I met clothing merchants from Hong Kong several times. I heard that they all have their own designers."
Although she did not understand the specific scope of a designer's work, she knew that the career of a fashion designer was very popular in Hong Kong.
