"So that's how it is. It seems that Laobing is really cunning. He wants me to contribute some money to make the clothes. Even though the money is not much, it makes you feel uncomfortable. Also, if you are sincere in seeking the welfare of the people, why did you ask me for money to try on your clothes when I was wearing them just now? I acted as a model for you and brought you business, but I haven't asked for a share yet."
Ji Nianqin said this while holding her head high, waiting for the master's explanation.
But not long after, he actually closed the shop and wrote "Temporarily closed".
"What? You want to sell your shop? If you suspend business, will you still be able to do it?"
"As you said, I have no financial support and have already sold my old house. I live in this shop, but now, I don't want to go to the palace with you to try my luck."
"Try your luck? No wonder you want to make clothes for the concubines. You think no one will thank you for making these clothes for free, right? But the fabric is still someone else's. The people won't appreciate your service unless they see the actual clothes. After all, it's just a slight makeover. They might think your service is of little use. That's because their concept of clothing design and beauty hasn't reached a higher level yet."
"Actually, I don't expect anyone to thank me. I just thought that if they had nothing to do, the people on this street, especially those who have worn my modified clothes, could talk to me. But no, it was only the pancake vendor who talked to me from time to time. That's what kept me going all these years."
"You should also put yourself in the right place. Just because you make clothes for free doesn't mean people will come to your shop often. Everyone has their own things to do and is busy trying to survive. How can they have the time and energy, right? But that doesn't mean they don't think highly of you. You should think of it this way: at least after you took their old clothes and remade them, they were satisfied and didn't hit you. It's different in our beauty salon. If we don't do a good job, we'll even have to pay for it."
Ji Nianqin began to talk about her own suffering, as if she had met a like-minded person, but the master did not say a word along the way, and it was unclear whether he listened or not. Anyway, Ji Nianqin talked like a mosquito, "buzzing", and in the end she only said one sentence.
"I haven't participated in many training sessions or exchanges. For an industry like ours like the fashion industry, we need to communicate with the outside world frequently."
"But I don't want to. I prefer to work behind closed doors."
"That won't work. In our industry, there's no such thing as copying someone else. We're in the beauty and hairdressing industry. We make hairpins and accessories for our clients, and we do it carefully and wholeheartedly for them. Before we do their hair, we ask for their opinions. As long as they're awake, they'll generally be satisfied. But I forgot you specialize in clothing. If you were in modern times, you could start your own brand."
Thinking of this, Ji Nianqin had an idea and immediately sent a text message to the Sixth Prince and the counselor using her mobile phone. Unexpectedly, the message from the Sixth Prince showed that it was successfully received.
"I'm the Crown Prince. Whenever you come, I'll be hiding in the wilderness where we were last time. Also, the Sixth Prince said your phone is useless, so he gave it to me. He's gone back to the court to inherit the throne..."
