Chapter 174 Enemy or Friend?



After a long while, she slowly continued, "The original owner was an orphan who was adopted and raised by a grandmother. When she was twenty, the grandmother passed away, leaving the original owner this courtyard. I don't know, but after I came here, I took over this house."

“Besides the house, I have nothing. I can only earn money with my own abilities, but because of this scar on my face, I am bullied and despised, and I can't earn any money.”

At this point, Yun Duoduo frowned slightly.

Something doesn't seem right if it's just simple.

She seemed to be deliberately emphasizing that she had nothing.

But if she really has nothing, where did all those things in her house come from?

It's quite obvious that some of the things displayed in her home are not from this era.

But Yun Duoduo didn't ask. She just listened to her with a slight smile, nodding and agreeing from time to time.

However, she had a thought: this simplicity might not necessarily be friendship.

Then, Jian Dan continued, "Fortunately, Wang Weicheng was the older brother I grew up with. He took good care of me. After I came here, we relied on my expertise to work together and ship goods for others. Over the years, we have finally been able to live a life free from financial worries."

That's true.

They were indeed well-off, though not extremely wealthy.

It might be because they didn't want to be too conspicuous, or it could be for other reasons.

Looking at the clouds, she smiled simply and said, "I never imagined that there would be anyone in this world who had the same experience as me."

Yun Duoduo nodded in agreement.

Then, looking at Jian Dan, she raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "The reason you're sure we're the same type of person is because you saw the material of those leggings?"

“Yes.” She nodded simply. “In my past life, I was a professional designer and I was very familiar with clothing fabrics.”

"The material used to make these leggings does exist in this day and age, but your material is different. It contains a certain ingredient that cannot be produced at this time. It is because of that ingredient that the pants are more elastic and thicker."

“No wonder…” Yun Duoduo nodded. She had just said that’s why Jian Dan was so sure she wasn’t from this era.

Some specialized things are indeed difficult for the average person to observe.

After briefly explaining their situations and getting to know each other, he simply asked Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, do you agree with the cooperation method that Brother Weicheng told you about?"

"How could I disagree? The conditions you've offered are too good to pass up." Not knowing whether Jian Dan was friend or foe, Yun Duoduo could only stick to the facts. She said, "We all know very well that in our past lives, it was incredibly expensive for a large company to hire a designer. Besides, our factory also needs an outstanding designer."

“Simple, actually…” Yun Duoduo wanted to say that they could change the way they cooperated, such as having Simple work at her factory and the two of them work together, which would give them more freedom.

But before Yun Duoduo could finish speaking, Jian Dan interrupted her, "Duoduo, I know what you want to say. I feel that this is the lifestyle I like right now, and I don't want to change it for the time being."

Yun Duoduo understood that Jian Dan still couldn't face the scars on her face, so she didn't want to see anyone.

She preferred to stay hidden in her little courtyard, not making friends with anyone, and only needing to earn enough to cover her own expenses.

In fact, Yun Duoduo really felt it was a pity. With her talent, she could have made a name for herself in this era when the clothing industry was booming.

But since Jian Dan insisted, Yun Duoduo couldn't force him. "Just do as you say. You write the contract and have Boss Wang take it to my factory. I can sign it anytime."

"Okay." He nodded simply, then stood up, intending to see Yun Duoduo out.

It's clear that she doesn't want to have any deeper contact with Yun Duoduo.

Yun Duoduo, however, found Jian Dan to be anything but simple. Wanting to figure out her background, she asked directly, "Jian Dan, can I come here anytime?"

After a brief silence, just when Yun Duoduo thought she would refuse, she suddenly nodded, "It can only be you."

"Okay." Yun Duoduo nodded in agreement.

Just as Yun Duoduo was about to say goodbye, Jian Dan suddenly said, "Duoduo, since you're already here, why don't you go in and choose the new styles for next month?"

Yun Duoduo nodded, assuming that Jian Dan was going to show her the design drawings.

Once inside, she discovered that Jian Dan had a large studio filled with all sorts of clothes.

They really have all kinds of styles.

From spring to winter, from casual to formal wear, from children's to adult clothing, from trousers to skirts, from men's to women's wear, the variety is truly dazzling and overwhelming.

Pointing to the clothes, he simply smiled and said, "Over the years, I've had nothing to do here but do what I want to do. Back then, I thought that selling one style a month would be enough to eat and drink."

Yun Duoduo nodded. That was no exaggeration at all. If she wanted to, she could launch a new style every month and still have more money than she could spend.

It's obvious that she doesn't love money.

But if she doesn't love money, why would she cooperate with me?

It doesn't seem like she wants to be friends with me.

What exactly happened?

Just as Yun Duoduo was in a daze, Jian Dan gently patted her shoulder and said, "Duoduo, why don't you pick a few styles from these to use as this month's selection?"

Yun Duoduo realized what was happening and immediately pulled herself back to her senses.

She quickly found a sporty style among the many clothes, "After the New Year, it's the start of the school season, so I'll mainly wear sportswear."

"Make three colors for this outfit."

"Yellow, white, and black, from children's sizes to adult sizes, priced at 29 yuan per set, targeting the mid-range market."

Yun Duoduo delivered these words in one breath.

This is also the insight she has gained from working in the clothing industry for so long.

Simply looked at the clouds and nodded appreciatively.

Although Yun Duoduo's strength is not in this industry, she has a unique perspective and considers all factors comprehensively.

First of all, these three colors are unisex; both boys and girls can wear them.

Furthermore, those who like to wear sportswear are either students or young people, so the price cannot be too high.

However, in order to establish their own brand in the future, the price cannot be too low.

At that time, a single polyester shirt cost more than ten yuan, so a jacket like this priced at 29 yuan was really not expensive.

For the average person, it's something they can afford if they grit their teeth and spend a little more.

According to the contract, Wang Weicheng and Jian Dan's three colors combined are estimated to require about 500 sets of ready-made garments. They can earn more than 10,000 yuan from this batch of goods.

In other words, the more than 10,000 yuan was the design fee paid by Yun Duoduo.
