Chapter 67 Discussion

Lin Jianyan interrupted her lack of confidence, "There's nothing different, you're just constrained by your own thoughts. A truly good piece of clothing doesn't ask you to cater to it, but it sets off you."

"That dress looks really good on my aunt. It's because it was tailor-made for her. Of course it looks good on her."

"It's like a pair of shoes. You like them very much, but they are very uncomfortable to wear. Even so, you insist on wearing them. In the end, you are the only one who suffers."

When people heard what he said, they found it surprising and reasonable.

Mrs. Liu clapped her hands excitedly, "That's how it is. Many of the clothes and shoes I bought seemed good to me at the time, but I would soon regret it."

Mrs. Li & Aunt Qin: Is it possible that you are the only one who likes novelty and dislikes old things?

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Li suddenly felt that there was no suitable clothing in her closet. "Ayan, what should I do? The Chinese New Year is only a month and a half away. I will definitely have to attend many banquets by then. I don't want to wear a set of clothes that don't fit me."

It was fine before, but now that I think about it, those amazing compliments from others might just be for show and shouldn't be taken seriously. Maybe in the eyes of others, she is no different from those ladies.

Every woman wants to be the most beautiful and dazzling. Before being pointed out by others, she could pretend not to know, but now that she knows, she doesn't want to go back to the past.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "Me too, Ah Yan, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other."

Lin said: "If you trust me, leave it to me. I promise that the clothes will be made before the New Year, so that you can shine at the banquet and become the most elegant and beautiful ladies in the whole banquet."

The two of them nodded excitedly after hearing his declaration. Of course they agreed. After listening to his speech, they trusted and were impressed by him. No designer had ever said such things to them before. He just praised them so much that they didn't know if they were really good.

Besides, they didn't invite only him. After all, upper-class banquets are more particular, and there must be several alternative plans. If they are not satisfied with what he makes, they can just not wear it. There is no need to lose face.

But they still have confidence in him. After all, he can say such heart-touching words and design such beautiful and novel clothes, which will definitely make people's eyes light up.

Seeing that they agreed, Lin Jianyan asked the tailor standing beside to measure their sizes, "Sister Wang, measure the sizes of the two ladies."

When Sister Wang first came in, her legs were shaking with tension, but after listening to them chatting for a while, she realized that these two ladies were gentle people, and she finally relaxed.

Following Lin Jianyan's instructions, she measured many details including shoulder width, arm length, waist circumference, chest circumference, hip width, height, leg length, etc.

Lin Jianyan took a pen and paper and took notes, writing and drawing. Finally, the measurements were completed. Lin Jianyan also asked several ladies about their preferences. After a long while, it was finally over and the two ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

This is much more precise than the measurements taken by people before. It almost feels like every hair on your arm needs to be questioned.

Mrs. Li joked, "Ayan is so meticulous. I think even the top designers can't be as meticulous as Ayan."

"Auntie Guo deserves the award."

Lin Jianyan suddenly had an idea. Yes, he still had to take a certificate. The current certificates should be easy to obtain. He didn't want to be a top designer anymore. If he worked hard, he might be able to get a senior designer certificate.

Mrs. Liu thought about it and had to bring up one thing. "Ah Yan, don't blame Aunt Chen for being blunt. It's about this price. What do you think? Is it clear?"

Mrs. Li glared at her and explained, "She meant that you don't have to worry about money. If you are short of money, just tell us."

Lin Jianyan smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness. I still have some money on hand, so I won't consider this for now. I'll calculate it after I finish it. After all, nothing has started yet, so it would be too much to raise the price directly."

"But don't worry, I will use the best materials and accessories and will not let you down."

In fact, he should have accepted a part of the deposit, but they were all my aunt's friends, so she still trusted him a little.

It was almost noon, so Lin Jianyan and Qin Xiaogu planned to leave. Mrs. Li wanted to keep them for lunch, but they declined.

Lin said: "No, Aunt Guo, I have something else to do when I get home. I will definitely come to visit you next time I have the chance."

Seeing him say this, Mrs. Li did not try to keep him.

Lin Jianyan asked the driver to take tailor Sister Wang home first, and then he was dragged by Qin Xiaogu back to the old house for dinner.

He thought that the two ladies would have so many banquets during the New Year, so Qin Xiaogu would definitely be even busier. He originally wanted to design another set of clothes for her, but Qin Xiaogu said:

"You are already short on time, I won't bother you any more. Besides, I have never worn that dress outside. I will wear it to the party this year, and it looks so good. I must wear it a few more times to show off."

Seeing that she really didn't want to trouble him, and that she really thought that one piece of clothing was enough, Lin Jianyan gave up. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happened, they would become a family in the future, and there would be plenty of opportunities.

Lin Jianyan started designing as soon as he got home. He did not go out for three consecutive days and even had his meals delivered upstairs by servants.

Uncle Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him out the door. "Ayan, you can't stay out of the sun for so long. It's a good day today, why not go out for a walk? I've asked Jun and Liang to drive the car over and they're waiting at the door. Go ahead."

Lin Jianyan turned around to see Uncle Zhao waving at him at the door, and had no choice but to go out for a walk.

He didn't know where to go, so he asked Ajun to drive the car to the shopping mall where he and Qin Wu went last time.

However, I found that both students and ladies changed into skirts and wore leggings on their legs. Moreover, the fake models in the shopping malls also wore leggings for promotional purposes.

Passing by them, I could still hear their discussion:

"How many did you buy?"

"I bought two pairs, one with step-on soles and one with socks, so I can wear them alternately. I also bought a dress from this brand, which will look good when paired with leggings."

"That's great. I just bought one pair of leggings. My mom didn't give me enough money. If I buy two pairs, I won't be able to buy anything else."

The girl comforted her, "It's okay, the price of this brand of clothes is still very cheap, you can buy it if you look around."

"It's all I can do."
