"Since you agree and have no other objections, I will draft the contract now. We will make two copies and officially start our cooperation."
"Of course!"
Xin Lan quickly prepared paper and pen and handed them to Lin Jiaojiao.
Hold Xiaobao in your arms and help take care of the child.
Haha, he is not shy at all. I don’t know where Xin Lan found this stuffed tiger.
The little guy seemed to like it very much. He kept staring at it and laughed foolishly from time to time.
While writing the contract, Lin Jiaojiao casually asked, "By the way, I think the materials and details of your shop are very good, especially the buttons. The pattern and style of the top I like are really nice!"
"You like that button?"
"Yes!"
Xin Lan's face was full of apology: "I'm afraid this button won't work on yours. Why don't you choose something else? I have a lot of button styles."
"What's going on?"
"Those buttons are from last year, and we just used them up this month."
"Really? Then do you remember who used these buttons?"
"The people who come to me to order are all regular customers. I really can't remember what they are specifically made for!"
"Is that so? Are there many stores that use this kind of buttons?"
"This is my own design. I specially asked a factory to make it. It's one-of-a-kind. If you really like it, I can help you find another one!"
"That's not the case. Other styles are also acceptable."
Xin Lan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and took out a stack of account books from the cabinet next to her. "Now that we've signed the contract, you should also familiarize yourself with the things in our store. Here are the account books. You can take a look. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"Okay." Lin Jiaojiao took the account book and took a quick look at it.
Xin Lan is indeed a good partner.
The account book is very detailed, and each customer is marked with what kind of clothes they bought and how many pieces they bought.
"The accounts are clear and easy to understand at a glance. You can tell they've put a lot of effort into it!"
"It's not as good as you say!"
Xin Lan felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
Lin Jiaojiao suddenly noticed a familiar person.
Miss Queqing.
Isn’t this Zhang Yaxin’s pen name?
The reason why I was so impressed was that during the last teacher qualification examination, Zhang Yaxin took the initiative to introduce the origin of her name.
Derived from an ancient poem, these two words are used to praise the purity and innocence of girls.
It is also very similar to her own noble character.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes darkened for a moment.
She pointed at the name with a hint of surprise, "What a coincidence! I have a friend whose pen name is also these four characters. I see she buys a lot of clothes here. Is she a regular customer?"
"Yes, she's a regular customer here! She's tall and slender, fair-skinned and elegant. Her conversation is evidently that of an intellectual. I heard she's the wife of a group leader!"
“It really is her…”
When Lin Jiaojiao heard this description, she was basically certain that it was Zhang Yaxin.
Xin Lan hadn't noticed her amazing ability and was a little surprised: "So you two are friends! Oh, by the way, she even ordered a dress from me a while ago. She's going to take some teacher assessment. It's this long dress. She has fair skin, so she chose the light blue fabric herself. That color is hard to pull off. I've made that dress before, and it looks really good on her!"
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the long skirt she pointed at, and sure enough, the style was exactly the same as the one Zhang Yaxin wore when she took the assessment.
And it is indeed light blue.
It’s really her!
In fact, ever since that incident happened, Lin Jiaojiao has thought about all the people around her who have had grudges against her.
It's not that I didn't doubt her at all.
Now everything is correct.
However, it might not be easy to get her to confess based on these clues alone. This matter still needs to be considered carefully...
"what's on your mind?"
"Nothing, I just remembered that she wore this dress that day, it was really beautiful!"
"She's also very pretty, mainly because she's also very good-looking. But, to be honest, you're the best-looking one I've ever met. Since we're so destined to meet and we signed the cooperation contract so smoothly, I'll give you a meeting gift!"
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
"What's wrong with it? I have a set of clothes that I have in my personal stash. I think they look great, but I just haven't found the right person to wear them. From the first time I saw you, I thought you were a good choice. Clothes only have value when they're worn by someone. Wait, I'll get them for you!"
Xin Lan became more and more excited as she spoke. She returned the child to Lin Jiaojiao and hurried back to the warehouse.
Three or four minutes later, she came out wearing a colorful long skirt.
"Look, this is it. Do you like it?"
This dress really caught Lin Jiaojiao's eye!
Although it was already the eve of reform and opening up, the control from top to bottom began to gradually relax, and people became much bolder in their dressing.
But after all, supplies were still scarce. Although young girls would wear some bold dresses in different styles, they were still relatively conservative compared to modern ones.
When choosing colors, people usually choose solid colors with lower saturation or simple floral patterns.
This is the first time I have seen clothing with such large-scale contrasting colors, and the contrasting colors are all highly saturated.
The skirt design has a bohemian feel.
The waistline is tightened, the small V-neck design, and the loose lantern sleeves not only highlight the figure, but also give people a bright feeling.
“It’s really beautiful!”
"I think this size is right, and the length is right too. Go try it on!"
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm so anxious to see it. To be honest, many people have tried it, and the feeling is completely different from what I expected." Xin Lan was even more excited than Lin Jiaojiao. She couldn't wait to hold the child and urge him.
Seeing someone enter the fitting room and just about to sit down with the little one in his arms, he caught a glimpse of a burly figure standing at the door out of the corner of his eye.
When he stood up and took a look, his eyes lit up!
Standing at the door was a man in military uniform. He was tall and handsome, but his face was stern and serious, making him look a little scary. "Hello, comrade, what can I do for you?"
On the boat returning home, Ji Huaian heard someone mention that there was a small clothing store in this place.
It is especially popular among young girls on the island.
After getting off the boat, he wanted to come over and bring a gift for Lin Jiaojiao.
But it was the first time for him to buy clothes for a girl. When he entered the store and looked at the wall full of various clothes, he was dazzled for a moment and didn't know how to choose.
"I'm here to buy clothes for my lover."
"This soldier comrade is so young and handsome, your wife must be very beautiful too!"
Hearing people praising his wife, Ji Huaian's eyebrows softened a little.
Only then did he notice that the woman opposite him was holding a baby in her arms, staring at him straight.
