The evaluation team sent by the Normal University left satisfied after learning about Xia Enruo's industries and plans.
The listing ceremony was held shortly afterward in Xia Enruo's company compound.
The president of the normal university, along with a group of leaders from the School of Design, attended the ceremony, making it a grand affair.
Xia Enruo felt very satisfied as her career progressed step by step towards her predetermined goals.
Following that, all the students in Gu Shaoying's fashion design class came to Xia Enruo's fashion design company to begin a three-month internship.
Then, upon hearing that Xia Enruo would pay a high price to buy out the patent rights to the excellent design, he was deeply moved.
The senior students were like fearless newborn calves, practically living and working at the company, each one incredibly busy racking their brains to design new styles for the season's clothing.
After all, everyone wants to work hard to earn money through their designs before graduation, just to prove that their four years of university study were worthwhile.
Since Xia Enruo founded Diwei, she naturally had design ideas from her previous life in her mind.
She had already designed the style of this season's new clothing, and the design drafts were finalized. She was just waiting to draw on a few more excellent ideas from her students before mass production could begin.
The wool mill had already made arrangements, and upon hearing that they had received a large local order, the factory manager, Duan Mingrui, was naturally overjoyed.
They even took out a bank loan to buy the raw materials from Guangzhou in advance, just waiting for Xia Enruo to give the order to start production.
To be on the safe side, Xia Enruo signed a confidentiality agreement with the wool mill well in advance, stipulating that the design patent could not be used for private production without permission, and that violators would be subject to huge fines.
This was the first time Duan Mingrui, who had been the factory director for so many years, had signed such a document. He was a rough man who hadn't attended school for long.
He became the factory director through his father's connections, but he wasn't very knowledgeable.
She used to rely on intimidation and coercion to manage the factory, and many of the female employees in the factory became her mistresses.
The spring night was almost as exciting as an ancient emperor choosing a concubine. His wife couldn't control it, and naturally turned a blind eye for the sake of being the legitimate wife of the factory director.
He did his own thing, and he found a few shady characters in the underworld. They didn't want to work hard anymore, so they found a rich auntie. The couple were kindred spirits.
Duan Mingrui signed the documents without even looking at them, but even if he had, he might not have understood their meaning.
Xia Enruo frowned when she saw how worldly and crude this business practice was.
However, in order to save the local state-owned enterprises, such details were disregarded.
The interns from the teachers' college were indeed quick to produce results.
In less than half a month, more than half of the students had submitted their design proposals.
Some of them are quite novel, with avant-garde and fashionable design concepts.
Gu Shaoying designed a handbag that was quite unique, with a style reminiscent of the Bottega Veneta family from her previous life.
It was understated yet exuded a luxurious aesthetic, which greatly pleased Xia Enruo.
Another half month passed before all the students finished their designs.
Xia Enruo then selected the three best ones as the new products for the season.
Other excellent design works will be kept for future reference.
To keep her promise, Xia Enruo bought the selected designs for 10,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, and 3,000 yuan respectively.
They also registered the design patent, keeping it firmly in their own hands.
The students were incredibly excited when they saw that they could make money back.
After all, being able to earn money through one's own abilities before even graduating is unprecedented among all majors at a normal university.
Moreover, 3,000 yuan was not a small amount in the 1980s; it could even equal more than three years' total income for an average dual-income family.
This is an absolute fortune for an ordinary worker, let alone a student who hasn't even graduated from university.
Yongning Normal University also took this opportunity to give the outside world a good publicity campaign, which made them look good.
Students from other majors watched with envy, regretting that they hadn't chosen this major.
Xia Enruo had the design drafts organized and finally decided on five sets of clothes as Diwei's new products, and asked the wool mill to work overtime to start production.
Meanwhile, he was leading his employees in preparing for the new product fashion show at the company.

Knowing that Xia Enruo was very busy with her clothing business, Gu Shaoxuan brought his two children to work at the military base.
The two little ones are now three years old.
My brother was named Gu Yicheng, which means "a distinguished family and great success."
My younger sister is named Gu Xiyao, which means a rare treasure, a precious flower and a rare tree.
I had someone calculate the meaning of these two names, and I think they have a very good connotation.
Gu Yi grew up to look exactly like Gu Shaoxuan when he was a child; they were practically identical.
Wang Meihua always says this.
He was lively and bold by nature, but sometimes he was really mischievous, which gave Gu Shaoxuan a lot of headaches.
The younger sister, Gu Xiyao, was much quieter, like a little princess.
With a pair of big, dark purple eyes, she never cries or fusses, and loves to draw and write with a pen when she stays by her father's side.
With two little ones by his side, Gu Shaoxuan had an extra task to handle in the military.
Aside from military training, all I do is take care of the children.
Sometimes, I would even make the two little ones stand at attention on the playground and train with me.
Even Yuan Qiang said that Lao Gu was obsessed with military training his children from a young age.
Gu Shaoxuan disagreed, believing that children are not delicate flowers and should sometimes experience trials and tribulations.
The two little ones had no idea what military training was; they simply followed their father's commands, standing when told to stand and sitting when told to sit, being very obedient.
"Gu Yicheng!"
"road!"
The childish voice is so sweet and endearing.
"Gu Xiyao!"
"road!"
The younger sister is even more adorable and baby-faced.
"What are your responsibilities and missions?"
Gu Shaoxuan sat down in front of the two and asked.
"To protect Mom with Dad, and never let bad people bully her."
The two little ones said in unison.
"Anyone else? Gu Yicheng!"
"And also, we must protect my younger sister and not let bad people bully her!"
Gu Shaoxuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Attention! At ease!"
The two little babies did as instructed, and their earnestness was truly endearing.
After exercising, Gu Yicheng and Gu Xiyao insisted on eating popsicles. Gu Shaoxuan had no choice but to carry his sister on his back and lead his brother to the store.
The soldiers looked at their former stern chief of staff, now showing him great affection for his children.
Looking incredulous, he must have shown the most kind and gentle side of his life to his two precious children.
About a month later, Xia Enruo's first batch of clothing was completed. After passing inspection, it was packaged and sent back to the warehouse.
The new fashion show is ready, and the venue has been chosen to be the People's Square in Yongning City.
