After another awkward silence, even Zhou Pengfei, who was usually a chauvinist, finally understood.
Jiang Xuanxuan wasn't there to celebrate Yang Yajing's birthday at all; she just brought a few strangers to cause trouble.
Birthday celebrations should be a joyous occasion for the birthday celebrant, but his arm felt sticky and uncomfortable, and Yang Yajing didn't seem particularly happy either. He didn't want to stay any longer.
"Yang Yajing, I want to go back," Zhou Pengfei said to Yang Yajing. "My arm is uncomfortable."
"I want to leave too. I don't know anyone here. It's no fun!" Chen Jiaoyun added fuel to the fire.
"Since you're not here, and I'm only familiar with Jiang Xuanxuan, let's go back!" Yang Yajing glanced apologetically at Jiang Xuanxuan. "Xuanxuan, I'm sorry, we'll be leaving now. Have fun, don't worry about us."
Jiang Xuanxuan wanted to ask him to stay, but she couldn't find a reason. Besides, it was Zhou Pengfei who suggested it, and he was uncomfortable in his arm, so it wouldn't be good to force him to stay.
Thinking that the birthday party was already ruined anyway, how badly it was ruined didn't seem to matter, so he didn't say anything more.
But her expression was very aggrieved, as if she had been bullied a great deal.
The three who left ignored her, but would Pang Yan and Jin Yiyi pay attention to her?
No matter how much you plead, Yang Yajing is like a dog biting Lü Dongbin (a Chinese idiom meaning to repay a debt of gratitude). Jiang Xuanxuan kindly used her connections to throw her a birthday party, and she's still ungrateful. What a wild child!
As soon as he left the restaurant, Zhou Pengfei hailed a taxi.
"Didn't you say your arm was sticky and uncomfortable and you wanted to go home? Why did you give the address of a studio?" Yang Yajing was confused.
"His arm doesn't hurt, does it?" Chen Jiaoyun knew all too well. "He's upset! That Jiang Xuanxuan is clearly bullying him!"
"It's all strangers, no fun." Zhou Pengfei nodded. "Shall we celebrate your birthday?"
"Okay!" Yang Yajing smiled sweetly. She hadn't originally planned to celebrate her birthday with those people; she was just going to help cause a scene and let Zhou Pengfei see Jiang Xuanxuan's true colors, as a precaution.
In her previous life, she was too naive to understand Jiang Xuanxuan's schemes and was led by the nose, causing Zhou Pengfei, a straightforward guy, to also fail to see through her, which resulted in a big mistake.
In this life, she won't be so weak and foolish again! She needs to cut off any possibility between Zhou Pengfei and Jiang Xuanxuan as soon as possible.
Half of January has passed, and then it's time for the holiday.
With the winter break coinciding with the Lunar New Year holidays, the studio also experienced its first peak in orders since opening.
The two were so busy that they didn't get a break until the eve of the Lunar New Year.
Back then, there was no online shopping, and even computers didn't exist. By this time in 1994, most shopping malls had closed down.
Since they missed buying gifts for their family, the couple decided to make them themselves using the equipment they had at home.
Sylvia Chang didn't forget that Zhou Youcheng loved mung bean cakes, so she specially made an extra large box when she was rushing to fulfill an order.
Now that running a shop is easier, Sylvia Chang has picked up her skillful hands again.
She was very skilled at sewing, and she bought a lot of pretty and inexpensive scraps of fabric. These scraps quickly became chic patchwork cushions, pillowcases, tablecloths, and coffee tablecloths in her hands.
After decorating his own shop quite a bit, he also gave a set to several families of adults.
Zhou Youcheng felt proud of his son's success and would show off anything he got to his old friends.
Sure enough, the New Year just ended and school hasn't even started yet, and we've already received another order for fabric items!
The studio currently only accepts orders for desserts and gifts, so receiving an order for fabrics is quite unexpected.
I wanted my mom to rest and enjoy life, but Sylvia Chang was really interested! She insisted on taking the job.
Yang Yajing had no choice but to accept the offer. However, she didn't want her mother to work for nothing, so she deliberately set an exorbitant price: 888 for a set of wedding bedding and curtains, with no room for negotiation.
I thought the other party would hesitate, but the person did not hesitate at all. They even suggested adding a set of sofa cushions, tablecloths, coffee tablecloths, and handkerchiefs for the wedding, and offered 1888 directly!
With the wedding two months away, Sylvia Chang felt she had something to do, and this small order to pass the time was worth 1888, so why would she miss it?
Oh well! Anyway, Sylvia Chang is busy tinkering in the living room, so it doesn't affect Yang Yajing's studio operations. Let her go and earn some extra money!
Zhang Aijia finished a set of soft furnishings in a month, and with the leftover scraps of fabric, she even made a beautiful pair of flared pants for Yang Yajing.
Seeing that there was still some fabric left, they decided to make two more sun hats and give them to Zhou Pengfei and Chen Jiaoyun.
The two children often go to the park to draw, and sometimes their foreheads get sunburned red, which makes Sylvia Chang feel sorry for them.
Back then, doing business relied on word of mouth; once one family had it, everyone wanted it too.
In the early 1990s, the children of these older generations were all of marriageable age. Seeing the beautiful and festive home decorations, especially the unique ones, they inquired and came to ask for custom-made ones.
Sylvia Chang was busy from winter to spring, and then to summer. Although she was busy, she enjoyed it.
In particular, Yang Yajing let Zhang Aijia keep all the revenue from these customized orders. Seeing the new five-figure sum appear in the bank account, Zhang Aijia smiled even more broadly!
Chen Jiaoyun was also very happy, because with her big face, she would always use any scraps of fabric she found. One minute it was a pencil case, the next a backpack, then a short skirt – she was so content!
In Sylvia Chang's heart, Chen Jiaoyun was like a doll she had unexpectedly acquired. Not only was she beautiful, but she could also pull off any style.
Yang Yajing wasn't idle either; she took artistic photos of Chen Jiaoyun with her DSLR camera and saved some to her scrapbook every now and then.
