Chapter 46 Improved Cheongsam

She knew that Zhou Nuan was good-looking, but the clothes she usually wore could not bring out her beauty. When she put on the cheongsam, she realized how attractive Zhou Nuan was.

Those foreign clothes are fashionable, but they still lack the implicit beauty.

Liu Miao suddenly felt that maybe they could really make the business a success, but...

"Xiao Nuan, this cheongsam is handmade. Even if we can launch it, can we make it?"

"Of course I can." Zhou Nuan said confidently.

Things are different now than before when everything had to be sewn manually. There are quite a few garment factories now, especially in Mu City, a neighboring city of Haicheng, which is famous for manufacturing clothing.

As long as they can launch this, find a factory to cooperate with, and let Uncle Zeng supervise, there is no fear of failure.

Of course, before that, craftsmen like Uncle Zeng have to work hard.

How could Zeng Zhuang complain about the hard work? He had not held out hope at first, but unexpectedly things turned out well. Not only was the deal done, but the company also showed willingness to continue the cooperation. He was extremely happy because this was the first deal he had completed this month.

He almost patted his chest to say that no matter how much you wanted, he could definitely complete it. At worst he could just call all the masters he knew to work together.

Li Baijie was worried and pulled Zhou Nuan aside. "Xiao Nuan, can these really be sold?"

"Um?"

"I'm afraid that people won't be able to accept these old-fashioned clothes. After all, everyone is chasing fashion now, and these cheongsams are too old-fashioned."

Zhou Nuan, "Don't doubt people's acceptance. As long as something is beautiful, everyone will like it. Don't underestimate the charm of cheongsam."

Liu Miao said, "Why can't you accept it? I think it looks good. We'll know if it works when we take it back and try it out."

Zhou Nuan smiled and said, "These styles are indeed a bit outdated, but it doesn't matter. I will improve them so that everyone will like them."

She asked Uncle Zeng to bring her paper and pen, and began to draw a modified cheongsam. She was forced to learn painting and dancing since she was young, so drawing was just a piece of cake for her, and she drew several styles of cheongsam in a short while.

Laymen like Liu Miao didn't understand it, they just thought it was beautiful. But experts like Zeng Zhuang were very excited. This improved cheongsam not only required less workmanship and was not time-consuming, but it could also be worn on a daily basis. Most importantly, it was definitely cheaper than before, half of the people could afford it, and it might really be popular.

Suddenly, the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Nuan was different. In fact, he had been holding back a feeling of dissatisfaction. Why couldn't Chinese clothes compare to those Western clothes? It was obvious that Chinese clothes could better reflect the gentle and restrained beauty of the Han people.

Even though Western-style clothes are fashionable and embody freedom, the things left by our ancestors should not be despised by everyone.

A few days later, Zhou Nuan got the clothes she wanted. Zengzhuang's craftsmanship was indeed excellent. It was different from the rough workmanship of modern times. It looked very high-end and she was very satisfied.

As soon as they returned to Da'an, Zhou Nuan took Li Baijie and Liu Miao to the barber shop, gave them the most fashionable big wavy curls, and then personally took out the cosmetics she bought and painted a retro red lip makeup for the two of them.

After changing their clothes, the three of them walked towards their residence.

Many people cast astonished glances at them along the way. After all, they were used to seeing women who were either so conservative that they didn't even show their arms, or so trendy that their whole bodies looked like colorful pheasants, which made their eyes dazzled. Only when they looked at this kind of beauty with ancient charm could their hearts calm down.

It turns out that Han people can look more extraordinary by wearing Chinese clothes.

Naturally, many people looked disdainful, "Tsk, it's such a time and you're still wearing such old-fashioned clothes."

Sun Meixiang was one of them. She had just returned from a department store, holding in her hands the clothes she had bought at a high price. These clothes were said to be the most fashionable in Hong Kong now, and they were extremely expensive. She had gritted her teeth to buy them.

She still understands the principle that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Gu Xiyue might come back at any time, and he will definitely be surprised when he comes.

Her happy mood suddenly turned sour after seeing Zhou Nuan and others.

Why hasn't this female liar left yet? She's dressed so seductively, and she's obviously not a good person. There are many rich people living in this neighborhood, so she must be trying to seduce someone!

She quickly walked past Zhou Nuan and said, "You country bumpkin, so disgusting." Then she quickly moved away as if she was afraid of being contaminated by dirt.

Li Baijie was uneasy, and Zhou Nuan said calmly, "Sister Li, don't bother with the villain."

"Xiao Nuan, do we have to stay here for so long?"

Li Baijie was very uncomfortable with this and just wanted to run back and hide.

"Sister Li feels ashamed?" Zhou Nuan frowned slightly.

"I, I'm not, I'm just a little embarrassed..."

Liu Miao said, "What's so shameful about that? Those who despise their own traditions are the ones who are ashamed. We are dressed so beautifully, and we are open to letting them look at us."

Zhou Nuan glanced at Liu Miao with appreciation, "Don't be embarrassed. It's our freedom to wear whatever we want. Some people may not like it and some may like it."

She looked towards the Fulu community. If she guessed correctly, the people living there must not be poor. Compared to others who only blindly pursue trends, these people have more open-minded and inclusive mindsets and know how to appreciate beauty better.

Moreover, Chinese cheongsams are more suitable than Western dresses for some occasions, and the elderly in the family will like them more too.

In the next few days, Zhou Nuan and the others found nothing. Many people in their residence secretly asked about it, but they gave up after asking. After all, it was not cheap. It was cheaper than fashionable dresses, but more expensive than ordinary ready-made clothes. This cheongsam looks good to wear, but it is not convenient to work with.

Li Baijie always returned home disappointed, and Liu Miao comforted her, "It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning."

Zhou Nuan remained calm, as her target group had always been the people in the Fulu community.

Just when Li Baijie was about to lose confidence, things took a turn for the better.

That day, after she had dressed up and followed Liu Miao out, she was suddenly stopped by someone from behind, "Hey, you two, where did you buy those things?"

Li Baijie glanced at Liu Miao. Many people had come to ask questions these days, but they just asked for a few words and nothing more. She didn't hold out any hope, so she just said what they had agreed on word for word.

"Oh, these are the clothes we sell ourselves. They are not available anywhere else."

She turned around and saw a very elegant young woman standing in front of her. She was not an ordinary person by the way she was dressed. Li Baijie's heart started beating fast. She had lived in this place for a long time and knew all these people.

The young woman in front of me is surnamed Zhang. It is said that her ancestors were capitalists. After they were rehabilitated, all the ancestral property was returned to her family. Her family is quite wealthy.

Could it be that she was attracted by their cheongsams?
