Creative expression of love in the store, carefully caring for you
Opening the box and removing the dust bag, the bag was indeed a classic model. However, Xue Jiuyue keenly noticed that the strap was different from the classic model. It wasn't leather, but a twisted braid made from the brand's silk scarves. This subtle change gave the bag a richer, more youthful look. The braided design and the underlying Chinese knot design further enhanced the bag's appeal.
Is it a new model? Or a limited edition? Xue Jiuyue doesn't remember this model existing.
Xue Jiuyue's doubts did not escape Qian Jianjun's star-like eyes. He smiled slightly and explained, "This is a custom-made one. Look, there's even a Chinese character for "moon" embroidered here using Suzhou embroidery. It just so happens that we have an indirect connection with the brand's headquarters, which is why we can have this private custom bag."
"I appreciate your kindness, but it's too expensive for me to accept. So I still feel that our Agreement..."
"No, no, it's not expensive at all, and it can make money!" Qian Jianjun rushed to speak again.
"Can I make money?"
"Yes, this is a project our company is planning to collaborate on with this brand! Our idea is to use some of this brand's leftover materials to create unique DIY products. The materials are all genuine originals, and our company is responsible for the processing. The style will be determined by the materials available, and the design will be created by our designers or by the customer themselves. If needed, our designers can also provide professional guidance. All raw materials will be displayed on our company's e-commerce platform in the future, and customers can select and design them themselves."
Xue Jiuyue was also attracted by Qian Jianjun's description and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's beautiful. It can not only expand the customer base of the old brand and lower the price, but also effectively prevent the emergence of so-called super-A goods."
"Moreover, it will also help our newly launched e-commerce platform further increase customer stickiness! After all, getting an authentic luxury bag at a very low price, and it's a one-of-a-kind custom-made model, the temptation is too great!" After receiving Xue Jiuyue's affirmation, Qian Jianjun also became excited. "I came up with this idea here! It was because of your bag and the envious expressions of young people when they saw it that gave rise to this idea. To be honest, I really want to give you a gift that is sincere enough, inexpensive, and unique, so... Oh, this bag is the first trial product, also a sample! Xiaoyue, this unique bag that was created because of you, shouldn't I give it to you? Do you still think it's unacceptable?"
"This..." Qian Jianjun's words and intentions were like fine wine, making Xue Jiuyue's cheeks red. However, she still maintained her inner clarity and whispered, "I still think you should keep this bag in the company as a milestone commemoration."
Qian Jianjun was about to argue when Xue Jiuyue, with a smile that could charm anyone, gestured for him to wait. She then continued, "I'm very touched by your kindness and appreciate it. Let's keep our agreement the same as before. I just can't accept the package."
"Thank you, thank you, Xiaoyue!" Qian Jianjun felt more relaxed now that his biggest worry had been resolved. "This bag is really just a souvenir, it's worthless! Look..."
Qian Jianjun presented the bag to Xue Jiuyue as he spoke. "Look closely at the material of this bag. It's all made by piecing together leftover materials. We've created subtle patterns from this piecing together. This is our company's unique technology, and it's also the basis for our cooperation! The most valuable part of this bag is the Suzhou embroidery. I had someone add that."
A closer look reveals a subtle pattern on the bag, similar to the traditional auspicious cloud pattern. If you don't know, you might think it's a special design. Overall, both the creativity and craftsmanship are amazing.
But Xue Jiuyue still didn't give in. "It's not that it's valuable in terms of money, but I feel that this bag means more to your company, so I can't accept it."
Qian Jianjun changed his words, "Actually, this gift has nothing to do with the Agreement, nor does it have anything to do with my feelings for you. Mr. Qiu is grateful to you for giving him the opportunity to invest in Dr. Ren Hongyi, and he's still obsessed with giving you shares, which has benefited me as well. Can't I use this insignificant little gift to thank you for giving me inspiration?"
No matter which excuse was given, Xue Jiuyue really found it difficult to refuse, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Seeing Xue Jiuyue's attitude softened, Qian Jianjun struck while the iron was hot: "Really, it's just a gift from an ordinary friend to thank you, and also a commemoration!"
"Memorial?!" An inspiration flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning, and Xue Jiuyue seized upon it. In an instant, all her troubles melted away like spring snow, leaving only the pink peach blossoms still lingering on Xue Jiuyue's face. "Well, let's make a deal, this won't happen again!"
"Okay, of course, of course! Thank you, thank you..." Qian Jianjun was delighted and agreed repeatedly.
Xue Jiuyue smiled faintly again, "I should thank you."
Qian Jianjun, looking relaxed, continued his previous topic. "Actually, this project not only allows us to make bags out of leftover fabric, but if we're short on materials, we can tailor it to the individual needs of the individual, creating handicrafts or phone cases. For example, when I saw your necklace just now, it suddenly occurred to me that weaving necklaces and other accessories would be quite unique! More importantly, we can put it on our platform and allow consumers to participate in the design and conception of their own creations. I've always believed that the wisdom and creativity of the people are limitless! By combining these aspects, we can maximize the material craftsmanship, creativity, and branding."
Qian Jianjun's eyes were sparkling, and he exuded confidence. Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but think of Cheng Qing's words, "I like men who are confident, even a little proud and domineering. They don't have to be rich, but they must be ambitious. Men who focus on their careers are the most handsome!"
Qian Jianjun is indeed charming now! He himself can sense his current state, and wisdom, romance, and confidence have returned to him, allowing him to forget the pain of the past, forget the haze of tomorrow, and enjoy the present moment...
By the time Xue Jiuyue returned home, the darkness had already drowned out the world's excessive noise. She hadn't slept well in almost two nights, yet she still wasn't sleepy. She absentmindedly played a game with "Spit Star" for a while, then abruptly ended it, feeling too tired to even chat.
But what "Spit Star" said yesterday was like the snake in the Garden of Eden, constantly tempting Xue Jiuyue. "The doctor is very restrained in his emotions... Be brave and love, be more proactive, everything will be fine."
Finally, Xue Jiuyue's persistence gave in. She picked up her phone and sent a voice message in one go, "Are you there?"
The time on the phone screen showed that it was almost 11pm, but I still received a reply message in seconds, "Yes, what's up?"
"Did you sleep? Did I disturb your rest?"
"I don't have an appointment tomorrow, so I tried the coffee I made. Now I'm not feeling sleepy at all."
"If you want coffee, I'll bring it to you. Why bother making it yourself?"
"Coffee is like tea; it tastes better when you make it yourself. Why can't you sleep either?"
"Well, I haven't slept well for two days, but I still don't feel sleepy at all."
"Then I'll chat with you for a while?"
"Are you really not sleepy?" Although Liu Che explained it very clearly and his voice was gentle and mellow, Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but confirm it again.
"I'm really not sleepy at all."
"Well, how about, since we can't sleep anyway, let's go to the movies? I know there's a midnight theater with VIP seats, where you can basically watch it lying down."
"I'll take a taxi to your house."
"No, I'll pick you up."
"I'll be here by the time you change! See you at the gate of the complex!"
…
There is a five-star cinema not far from Xue Jiuyue's home. It has midnight shows every day, and several films are shown continuously until morning.
Xue Jiuyue had already bought two VIP tickets on her phone, and the two of them went straight in. It was very inconvenient for Liu Che to be in an unfamiliar place. Remembering the previous descent from the mountain, Xue Jiuyue mustered up the courage to say, "Let me pull you along and try."
"Just tell me in a low voice, I can do it." Liu Che hesitated.
"It's okay, just test the effectiveness of the treatment. Stretch out your hand first."
Liu Che raised his right hand, smoothed his hair out of habit, and then slowly stepped out.
Perhaps it was due to overly high expectations, or perhaps it was due to insufficient preparation, but the moment their fingers touched, the pain made Xue Jiuyue let go. It was less severe than the time she had encountered Ke Yike a few days ago, but it was still unbearable.
"Does it still hurt?" Liu Che asked warmly.
"Um……"
"Don't get discouraged, and don't rush things. Just like a fish that has just taken the bait, you can't pull too hard just yet. Be patient, let nature take its course, and trust me."
"I know. It's much better than before. I'll hold your sleeve and walk away."
Liu Che was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today, and Xue Jiyue gently tugged at his sleeve as he walked towards his seat. The sleeves weren't wide, after all, and occasionally Xue Jiyue could feel Liu Che's wrist through the thin layer of fabric, but there was nothing unusual. A touch of sweetness lingered in her heart once again.
There weren't many people at the midnight show, but the VIP tickets for this cinema were all for couples, with one large sofa chair for two people.
"Is there no one next to you? How about I sit next to you?" Liu Che said in a low voice after listening to Xue Jiuyue's introduction.
Xue Jiuyue rejected Liu Che's suggestion, "No, I'm much better!" Then she added, "There are only two of us in this row of seats now. But I didn't buy extra tickets. The audience for the midnight show should be able to enter at any time. If you sit in someone else's seat, be careful that they will kick you out, Xiao Ming."
Liu Che smiled gently and said nothing more. He sat on the sofa chair, trying to get as close to the edge as possible to leave more space for Xue Jiuyue.
"There is a pull ring under the armrest on your left hand. Pull it and you can lie down." Xue Jiuyue introduced to Liu Che while lying relaxedly on the sofa chair.
"It's okay, just lie down and be comfortable. I'm more used to sitting."
"Oh, wait a minute, I forgot to buy anything to drink when I first came in." Xue Jiuyue wanted to make full preparations before the movie started.
"Which do you prefer, milk or hot chocolate?"
Only then did Xue Jiuyue remember that Liu Che came with a backpack...
The movie starts, and you can lie down and watch it, enjoying top-notch audio-visual effects, with someone guarding you. This feeling is sweeter than drinking hot chocolate.
A few days ago, when Xue Jiuyue saw the opening announcement for the cinema, she secretly thought about going to see a movie when she couldn't sleep at night. At the time, she was a little worried about whether it would be safe, but she didn't expect her wish to come true so soon.
The screen was showing a new hit film, its plot and cast both top-notch. At first, Xue Jiuyue watched with great interest, but happiness, security, sweetness, and comfort soon coalesced into a fuse, igniting the irresistible sleepiness that had built up over the past few days. Even the stunning movie sound effects gradually faded away, allowing Xue Jiuyue to drift off to sleep, feeling a sense of peace and stability.
Liu Che's attention wasn't on the movie. He listened carefully to Xue Jiuyue's steady breathing. He concluded that Xue Jiuyue must have fallen asleep. He then gently pulled out a fleece blanket from his backpack and carefully covered her with it. Judging by the pattern, it must be the same blanket Xue Jiuyue had used last time on the mountaintop.
After about a quarter of an hour, seeing that Xue Jiyue was still sleeping soundly, Liu Che crouched down and stood up again. He paused for a few seconds and listened carefully. Xue Jiyue's breathing was normal, so Liu Che tiptoed forward along his left side.
He crouched down, his right hand sweeping across the back of the sofa in front of him to help him locate himself. He quickly exited the aisle and descended the stairs by memory. Just as he reached the last step of the entrance, Liu Che suddenly slipped as if he had stepped on some garbage, falling to the ground.
