After hanging up the phone, Shui Yiyao returned her phone to the clothing search interface. This piece of clothing did not have any trademark, and she could not find the brand of the suit.
She found a suit forum and planned to post a question.
[Beautiful and kindhearted ladies, handsome and kindhearted brothers, could you tell me what brand this dress is? Thanks for your answers, and there will be red envelopes dropped in the forum.] Shui Yiyao posted a photo of the dress.
After a while, someone came to post a reply.
-Looking at the style, this looks like a design by Acai.
-It looks good.
-I've never heard of Acai making this. It's obviously a copy.
-Can the ignorant person above please shut up? You can tell from the pictures that there are several different fabrics. The design is so steady and elegant, and the collar is definitely from Acai. Could you please see if there are any words on the bottom of the cufflinks?
Shui Yiyao followed the thread owner's instructions and found the cufflink. Sure enough, there was a character underneath that looked like the Chinese character "回". She held it up to the light, took a photo of it, and uploaded it.
-Is this the Huizi pattern?
-This is the moon pattern of Acai's house!
-So what if there is a moon pattern? Of course the imitation has to be as realistic as possible.
-Do you think anyone can imitate such good craftsmanship and design?
It’s impossible for Ao Li to wear a fake one, Shui Yiyao picked up the phone and replied.
-Thank you everyone, if this is authentic, how much is it worth?
-At least 500,000 and above.
-This is a model that has not been made public. If it is real, it must be a high-end private order. I would guess it is 600,000.
Shui Yiyao looked at several floors, and everyone guessed the price was between 500,000 and 700,000.
This price is already very high among high-end suits.
That’s right, this is in line with Ao Li’s status and position.
-Thank you everyone! Red envelopes for everyone!
After Shui Yiyao distributed red envelopes in the building, she quickly found the shop they mentioned as A Cai's. The studio was called Cai Xi.
She clicked on the online customer service consultation.
-Hello, would you like to have a custom-made suit?
-Hello, is this suit made here?
Shui Yiyao sent the picture over.
-Yes, this is the one we made here.
-If I want to order another one of the same one, how long will it take?
-This project will take two months, but you will have to wait in line for half a year.
-Are there expedited orders?
-We do not expedite.
-How much is the deposit?

Ao Li was in the changing room of the laboratory, disinfecting his body and preparing to change clothes to enter the drug research laboratory.
Suddenly, his cell phone, which had been placed in the closet, rang. He looked at the lit screen, paused, took off the medical rubber gloves on his hands, put them on the disinfection rack beside him, and reached out to pick up the phone.
"Lu Cai?"
"Brother Li, it's me. A customer came to me to order clothes and took a picture for me. It looks like the one I made for you three months ago?"
"Yes."
"Should I do it for her?"
"This is an order from a customer. As a qualified businessman, you shouldn't disclose the customer's privacy to me at will."
Lu Cai: “???”
Respect privacy? That's not what you said before?
In the past, there were some women who would come to the store with pictures of Ao Li's clothes and ask for the same couple's outfits. He would inform Ao Li every time about these things, but he would not reveal the identity of the customer. Ao Li did not care about the customer's identity, but would immediately say: I don't know, no need to do it, don't ask next time.
Lu Cai: "Then I did it."
Ao Li: "You decide for yourself."
Lu Cai: “…”
·
-Customer Service: Dear sir, the arbitrator just said that this can be expedited.
-Customer Service: We have only made this suit for Mr. Ao.
Customer Service: Is this for Mr. Ao? We can expedite it for you, free of charge.
Looking at the three messages that suddenly appeared on the phone screen, Shui Yiyao frowned, put down the work in her hands and replied to the messages.
-Shui: You must have misunderstood me. I made this dress myself. It has nothing to do with Mr. Ao. You should take the money.
-Customer Service: Then we’ll charge an expedited fee of 20,000.
-Shui: Okay, I’ll give it together with the deposit.
-Customer Service: OK.
After finishing the clothes, Shui Yiyao put down her phone and prepared to continue working on the order at hand. She had already been delayed for three hours by Xiaobei and another two hours by the octopus just now.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Just endure it, there's nothing you can do about it.
She worked for a while, stopped the machine, went to get some water to drink, and when she looked up, she found that Xiaobei was still watching TV.
She sat in front of the computer, staring at the screen with great interest.
"How much have you seen?" Shui Yiyao asked her while standing in front of the water dispenser.
"I watched the tenth episode, and there are still two more!"
"Go to sleep first and watch it tomorrow."
"But this is so interesting. I want to finish watching this before I go to sleep."
Two episodes, not much.
But it's already 11 o'clock.
Shui Yiyao: "You can watch it tomorrow."
Xiao Bei didn't even raise his head: "I can just accompany you! Princess, you do your thing, I will watch TV while you accompany me."
There are still two episodes left, which is not a lot actually. It’s almost the finale, and it seems a bit difficult to ask this new TV fan to go to bed at this time.
Shui Yiyao ignored her, laughed, and went to work.
An hour and a half later, Xiaobei finished watching the TV show.
She was still not satisfied: "How interesting! I have never read such a good story."
Shui Yiyao was carving. After hearing her say this, she asked her, "What are your thoughts? Do you want to do a TV show?"
"Ah?" Xiaobei seemed not to have expected this question and frowned in confusion.
Shui Yiyao's knife was moving along the line as she asked, "Did you see Zhang Longhu in the cast and crew list at the beginning and end of the film?"
Xiao Bei thought about it and nodded: "I saw it, it seems to be the producer."
"He contacted me and said he wanted me to act in a play. Do you have any ideas?"
"I don't know..." Xiao Bei scratched his head. "What about you, Princess? Do you want me to act?"
Shui Yiyao: "This is your own business, you decide for yourself."
"I don't know--" Xiaobei wrinkled his nose in embarrassment.
"Then let's not rush. It's not too late to make a decision after we continue to understand it."
"Um!"
After watching TV, Xiaobei moved a chair and sat next to Shui Yiyao, fulfilling his promise to accompany Shui Yiyao.
She stared at Shui Yiyao's carving without blinking.
"Princess, you're amazing. You've only been ashore for a year and a half, and you've already learned this!"
Shui Yiyao responded to her words: "Yes, I studied seriously for a long time."
Xiao Bei stopped talking again and just kept watching Shui Yiyao's work.
After watching for half an hour, her eyelids began to droop. She tried hard to keep her eyes open, bit her lip, and took a big sip of water from the cup to keep herself awake.
Shui Yiyao looked up and found that Xiaobei's head was hanging down, moving bit by bit, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Go to bed."
Xiaobei woke up and answered loudly: "I'm not sleepy!"
Shui Yiyao: "You're blocking my light by sitting here. Go to sleep."
Xiao Bei shook her head. She stood up, preventing herself from sleeping: "No, I want to stay with you."
It was she who caused the Grand Princess to work so late. She couldn't go to sleep alone and let the Grand Princess work here.
Shui Yiyao looked at her, shook her head, and continued to do her own thing.
Let her be. When she gets really sleepy, she'll find her own bed to sleep on.
Xiao Bei stood there, looking at Shui Yiyao, then looked at the time.
It was two o'clock in the morning. The eldest princess had said before that she usually worked until two o'clock and then went to bed.
"Princess, are you busy until so late every day?" Xiao Bei asked.
Shui Yiyao: "It's just that I've been very busy recently."
"Why are you so busy?"
"Because I need to make money, baby."
"Oh." Xiaobei nodded, not quite understanding.
Shui Yiyao didn't explain any further and continued with the work at hand.
After buying all the purifiers, she continued to make money and received work orders as usual. Although it seemed that the mermaids' lack of money was not as urgent as before, Shui Yiyao never relaxed.
Her goal is to make the mermaids rich, so money is really important.
And...she had an idea.
The disaster of the mermaids comes from their special physique, but physique can actually be changed through drugs. This is the inspiration given to her by Ao Li's recent drug experiments.
The ordinary bloodline of the sea people can use medicine to change their physical constitution, allowing them who were originally unable to go ashore to reach the standard of being able to go ashore.
Could the mermaids use drugs to change their constitutions so that no matter which species they mate with, their offspring would only be mermaids? This would fundamentally solve the problem.
She didn't know if it was possible with current technology, but if it was, it would definitely require a huge amount of research funding. So she couldn't stop making money.
Even if she can't develop this kind of medicine, she can use the money to develop some weapons for the mermaids to defend themselves.
There is a huge gap in strength between humans and tigers, but humans equipped with guns can defeat tigers in battle. Therefore, raw strength is not enough to determine life or death. In a technological society, she can invest in the research and development of weapons and equip every mermaid with them.
And this amount of money will be huge.
In short, of course the more money the better.
Xiao Bei: "Then...if I go into acting, can I help you make money?"
Shui Yiyao stopped what she was doing and looked up at her.
Xiaobei just looked at her with a serious expression.
Shui Yiyao smiled and said, "You don't have to think about that. Just think about whether you like it or not."
She looked at the half-carved crystal crown in her hand and said, "You can't just do a job on impulse. Acting takes one or two years at most, or three or five months at least. If you don't like it, it's easy to give up halfway. If you run away, we'll have to pay liquidated damages."
Xiao Bei immediately assured: "I definitely won't run away!"
"That's not necessarily true." Shui Yiyao raised her eyes and looked at her, "You have a criminal record."
Xiaobei: “…”
Shui Yiyao: "Think about it carefully."
Xiaobei pursed his lips, his expression determined.
She is going.
At least, at least they could help the eldest princess earn a little money. Originally, they were supposed to earn money to serve the princess, but now the situation was reversed, with the princess earning money to support them. She had just arrived in the human world and had no idea what to do. She couldn't do anything. Now that a job had come her way, she could definitely give it a try.
Shui Yiyao stayed up all night without closing her eyes, and Xiaobei also stayed up all night, taking a nap from time to time.
In the morning, when Shui Yiyao went to make breakfast, Xiao Bei followed her to the kitchen in a daze: "Princess, I've made up my mind. I'm going to give it a try."
"I want to make money."
Make a lot of money and raise a princess.
·
Shui Yiyao contacted producer Zhang and told him about Xiaobei.
When producer Zhang heard that Xiaobei was willing to give it a try, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Then come over for the audition tomorrow!" He said with a smile, "Let her see the working environment first!"
Shui Yiyao found a lot of videos and articles on the Internet such as "An Actor's Self-cultivation" and "A Day in the Life of an Actor" for Xiaobei to watch.
"Understand it first, so you don't get stage fright when the time comes."
Xiaobei also read it carefully. If he didn't understand something, he would go back and read it several times.
Xiaobei was studying at home. Shui Yiyao told her as usual not to open the door to anyone, and then went out to give Jiang Luo a jade carving lesson.
Today's lesson is to teach him how to grind a complete round bead.
After the jade carving class, she went home for dinner, and it was soon 7 o'clock.
She and the elder agreed to attend the discussion meeting at 7 o'clock.
The meeting place was not far from her home, so she arrived on time quickly.
——New Town Center History Research Institute.
When she arrived, there were already many people in the conference room. When she entered, many people stared at her, some with curiosity, while others looked at her with a hint of disdain.
As Shui Yiyao went to find her seat, she heard people quietly discussing, "Has she participated in the Tiangong Award? Does that mean she's qualified to attend this discussion?"
