"Don't go! Didn't you say you'd give us 30,000?" Section Chief He said anxiously.
"Why should I? I'm already being lenient by not asking you for 30,000. My name is Qin Xiaoyu, you can probably find me on Renmin Road!" Qin Xiaoyu smiled coldly.
The couple didn't dare to follow.
Back at the restaurant, Ye Qiu had no appetite. Qin Xiaoyu, seeing that Bald Qiang had finished eating, accompanied her back to the guesthouse.
Fearing that Section Chief He would cause further trouble, Qin Xiaoyu asked Ye Qiu to bring her luggage over and sleep with her, since she was leaving the next day anyway.
On the way back to Guangzhou, Bald Qiang finally told Qin Xiaoyu the truth. It turned out that each booth had to clear out their stock at the end of the exhibition. He used Qin Xiaoyu's order form and settled it with just a few packs of cigarettes.
This time they brought back some fabric and samples.
We'll leave the bulk shipments as is until we've made sample garments, then decide where to ship them.
Master Liang was initially worried, but he understood when Qin Xiaoyu opened the fabric package.
"We are about to create a miracle."
“Yes, we’ll package commoners’ fabric as if it were made for the nobility.” Qin Xiaoyu smiled smugly.
She felt a little uneasy that A Lei hadn't come to pick her up from the shop. After a few brief words, she hailed a taxi and went home.
She opened the door; the house was quiet. The Cherokee she had just seen was outside; she guessed he was sleeping upstairs.
Qin Xiaoyu was tiptoeing up the stairs when she suddenly smelled a delicious aroma coming from inside the house—it looked like her favorite food…
She hurriedly turned around and went to the dining room. Sure enough, the table was set with all her favorite dishes, and even her water glass was placed there.
It turned out that A Lei was preparing meals for her at home. This prodigal son had really become a good family man. Qin Xiaoyu's eyes welled up with tears.
"Have you forgotten about me?" A Lei hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear.
"How could that be? I dream about you every night." Qin Xiaoyu wasn't lying. She tried to turn around, but A Lei held her tightly, preventing her from moving.
"Hey, is this revenge? You want my life..." Qin Xiaoyu said exaggeratedly, and only then did A Lei let go of her hand. She turned around and met his infatuated gaze.
"What's wrong? Why do you miss me so much?" Qin Xiaoyu hugged him tenderly.
"It's not that I particularly miss you, it's just that I feel especially wronged when you're not by my side," A Lei said proudly.
Qin Xiaoyu chuckled to herself. Was this a resentful husband? And a wronged one at that.
"Sweetie, go to bed and wait for me after you're done washing up. I'm going to eat first." Qin Xiaoyu patted his bottom and gave him a flirty wink.
Did they hold the script upside down again?
"You better behave yourself, or do you need a beating?" A Lei hadn't wasted his year or so in Northeast China; he'd picked up the local dialect quite well. He grabbed Qin Xiaoyu, knocked the shrimp cake out of her hand, and shoved her into the bathroom.
"Wash your hands. Your change of clothes are inside. Take a shower before you come out. You smell like smoke. I really don't understand why you want to take the train. I don't like you having any other smells on you." A Lei was still quite domineering.
Qin Xiaoyu obediently listened and soon sat down opposite him with her full head of black hair. Under his kind gaze, she ate everything on the table.
"I really can't stand that kind of sweet and salty stuff, I'm starving!" Qin Xiaoyu walked over, sat in A Lei's arms, and pouted, saying, "Carry me upstairs."
A Lei stood up, pretending to throw her to the ground, which startled Qin Xiaoyu so much that she screamed and then hoisted herself onto his shoulder.
"Put it down! I feel disgusted!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted.
"It's my fault, you ate so much that it filled your stomach." A Lei panicked, put her on a chair, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her. He only breathed a sigh of relief when her pale face calmed down a bit.
"Feeling better? Let me carry you upstairs." This time, A Lei was obedient and carried him in a princess carry.
Perhaps it was from the long train journey, but Qin Xiaoyu was exhausted and fell asleep quickly after getting into bed. A Lei looked at her face with a sigh, then could only kiss her forehead and let her go.
That night was enough for Master Liang and Jie Wei. When Qin Xiaoyu arrived at the shop in the morning, the lights were still on upstairs.
She walked into the room and started coughing from the smoke. How much had she smoked?
"Look, the results are remarkable." Master Liang gathered their design drafts together and handed them over.
Qin Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to find that they had taken the right step.
The combination of floral prints, ruffles, and lantern sleeves has brought the performance of seersucker to its fullest potential.
Xu Jingye's approach was quite unconventional; he took a completely different approach from Master Liang. Since seersucker itself has wrinkles and cannot be further shaped into wrinkles by high-temperature setting, he started using knots.
Watching him pull out several angled knots with simple rope knots,
"Let's make a sample of this first." Qin Xiaoyu picked out one and handed it to Factory Director Fei.
"I don't want to touch any of that silk anymore. Let's just get two hundred sets of seersucker," Master Liang said excitedly.
"Those few styles should still be kept; we can't make them all seersucker." Qin Xiaoyu had thought it over carefully. Other fabrics couldn't be completely ruled out, but they could be showcased in one particular segment.
The first batch of fifteen styles has been finalized and the designs have been completed. Qin Xiaoyu decided to take the sample garments and drawings back to Northeast China, as there are many things that need to be explained in person. She'll be making a long trip.
Of course, A Lei wouldn't let her fly alone; he accompanied her all the way. Qin Xiaoyu also brought along a little follower, Song Miaomiao.
The modeling team is heading south, so they'll need makeup artists, which Song Miaomiao will have to handle. This is also the main reason Qin Xiaoyu came back this time.
"Why has the girl lost so much weight?" Qi Si glanced at A Lei as he spoke, as if he wanted to confront him.
"I can't control you anymore, I'm sending it back to you, back to the factory!" A Lei said irritably.
"Hey girl, don't work too hard. I heard from Zhou Yue that you're going to put on some kind of fashion show. I'll come and check it out."
"Brother, you're welcome! You've never been to Shanghai before, so let A-Lei show you around." Qin Xiaoyu was delighted to see the topic had changed.
"Let's go to Shanghai to see that kid Wang Jian. I really miss him." Qi Siyi turned the steering wheel. The car glided smoothly into the yard.
With birds singing and flowers blooming, Commander Zhou's fairytale world became even more perfect.
All the trees that were relocated this year have recovered, sprouted and blossomed, and will bear fruit in the fall. The grapevines are also growing very densely.
Hearing that Qin Xiaoyu was coming back, her family stayed inside the courtyard.
"Mom!" Hanhan and her little sister ran over. Since the family trip last time, they had become even closer to Qin Xiaoyu.
Qin Xiaoyu heard them call out stiffly, and A Lei, with red eyes, hugged the two children into his arms.
"The children miss you all so much, they've been gone for so long." Zhou Xing's mother was talking about the children, and she wiped away her own tears first.
"Mom, you're feeling great! I look much better too." Qin Xiaoyu took their arms, one on each side, and went to see Zhou Yue's three darlings. The three little ones were plump and healthy, and looked exactly alike—they were absolutely adorable.
