Chapter 30

As soon as Teacher Li finished speaking, the other teachers in the conference room all looked at her.

The head teacher looked at her eagerly, "What ideas? Why do you need the help of parents? Which parent is a dance choreography student and can choreograph songs and dances?"

Three questions came to Teacher Li in a row, and the urgency in his words showed the headmaster's eagerness.

Other teachers couldn't help but ask, "Does Teacher Li have any good ideas?"

Although their teachers do not attach as much importance to this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala as the head teacher, it cannot be said that they do not attach any importance to it at all. If there are good ideas, they are also looking forward to it. If the show is outstanding, not only the head teacher will benefit, but also the teachers.

Teacher Li met the eager gazes of the head teacher and other teachers, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She swallowed her saliva and said, "That parent is not a dance choreographer, but a fashion designer."

The headmaster frowned after hearing this, "Fashion designer, you plan to start with the clothes? But no matter how good the clothes she designs are, they can't compare to other private schools. Private kindergartens have more money, so they are definitely much better than us in terms of preparing clothing accessories."

The other teachers also nodded. No matter how well they prepared their clothes, they could not compare to those of private kindergartens. After all, they had the support of the wealthy parents' board.

Teacher Li was not discouraged by the rebuttal. If she had heard about starting with the costumes, she would have the same idea. How could their kindergarten possibly be better than other private kindergartens? However, she felt more confident when she thought about the ancient costumes she had seen this morning that had never been worn in real life. "Principal, we should start with the costumes, but I plan to let the children wear modified versions of the ancient costumes, like the ones worn by the ancients in the costume TV dramas. Then we will choreograph an ancient dance to suit the Mid-Autumn Festival."

After Teacher Li finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became quiet. Everyone was thinking about what the ancient costumes in TV dramas usually looked like. The more the head teacher thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. His eyes lit up, "Ancient costumes, ancient costumes, ancient dances, it is indeed very suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."

Seeing the principal's interest, Teacher Li continued, "It just so happens that Jiahui from my class is wearing a traditional Chinese dress today. The principal can go and take a look and then decide."

She felt that if the head teacher came to see it, he would definitely agree to her proposal.

The head teacher thought for a while and looked at the other teachers. "Do you have any other ideas? If not, we will go and have a look."

After listening to Teacher Li's words, the other teachers also thought her idea was feasible. They didn't have any other ideas, so they shook their heads and said, "No, Teacher Li's idea is good."

The head teacher looked at his watch and saw that it was time for the children to wake up from their nap, so he said, "Let's go to Teacher Li's class now."

＊

The nap bell rang, Jiahui rubbed her eyes and sat up, and a group of friends rushed over to her.

Zhuzhu even used her hands to carefully smooth down her skirt, "My dear little fairy, I'm here to help you get up."

A little girl sat on the other side of Jiahui, carefully smoothing the other side of her skirt, "Zhuzhu, be careful, the fairy skirt will hurt."

There was also a little girl standing behind Jiahui, smoothing her hair that had spun up in her sleep. She held her hairband in her hand and said to herself, "I will learn how to braid hair from my mom when I get home. Then I can help you braid your hair, Jiahui."

Jiahui is already used to the little friends sticking to her. Many children liked to stick to her and play before, and today was even more so.

When she arrived at the classroom in the morning, a group of children surrounded her and chattered, "Jiahui, the skirt you are wearing is so beautiful."

"Jiahui, Jiahui, you look like a fairy. I only see fairies dressed like this on TV."

"Jiahui, was this skirt also made by your aunt? It's so beautiful. I'm going to ask my mom to buy it for me when I get home."

"Me, me, me, I'll buy it first."

…

＊

Several friends helped Jiahui stand on the ground, staring at her skirt, "Jiahui, turn around quickly, let your skirt flutter."

"Okay." Jiahui stretched out her hands and started spinning in circles. Immediately, the hem of her skirt flew up, looking very beautiful. This was her and her friends' favorite activity today. Watching her spinning in circles and watching her skirt dance.

Outside the window, the head teacher, Teacher Li and other teachers were looking at this picture. They noticed the skirt Jiahui was wearing at first glance. The skirt was so special and novel, and it looked very lively on Jiahui, like a little flower fairy, attracting everyone's attention.

The head teacher looked at the skirt, his eyes brightening, "Is this the ancient costume skirt that Teacher Li mentioned? OK, OK, Teacher Li, I think your idea is feasible, let's choreograph an ancient style dance."

Moreover, the mainland and the Hong Kong government are currently negotiating on the return, which has been a hot topic in the news recently.

If they put on a costume performance at this time, it would be the icing on the cake to achieve the purpose of promoting Chinese culture, even if this small show is insignificant.

As for the adaptation of ancient dances, there is no need to worry, as there are a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival songs, and one of the teachers in their kindergarten used to study dance, so adapting a simple dance for little kids is no problem. The difficult part is the costumes, as these ancient costumes are not available for sale in Hong Kong.

The head teacher turned to look at Teacher Li, "Teacher Li, you just said that this dress was made by Jiahui's parents. Is she a designer?"

Teacher Li nodded, "Yes, Jiahui's aunt is a fashion designer. Principal, the denim skirt that is very popular recently was designed by her."

"Oh, I see." The head teacher suddenly realized. She had also seen the news reports that were so exciting some time ago. If it was her, she had a doubt in her mind, "Does her store sell this costume now? Will she design dance costumes for our little show?"

Teacher Li shook her head. She didn't know either, but after seeing her contact with Miss Song this morning, maybe she would consider it. "Principal, we can talk to Miss Song when she comes to pick up her child after school tonight and ask for her opinion."

The headmaster nodded and said, "That's the only way."

＊

Song Shu spent the entire morning in her room improving yesterday's design. Thinking that if she were to make it and sell it, she added shawl ornaments to make the outfit look more gorgeous.

At noon, I ate lunch box with Rong Xiaohua.

Chen Zonghao went out after breakfast. During this period, he usually went out in the morning and came back in the evening, or sometimes disappeared for a day or two. Song Shu had gotten used to it.

With Rong Xiaohua around, Song Shu has unlocked the restaurants in several nearby streets, eating different dishes every day and having sweet afternoon tea, and she enjoys her meals happily.

Fortunately, this body cannot gain weight like in her previous life, otherwise Song Shu would not dare to eat so much.

Rong Xiaohua was the complete opposite. She had not expected the food in the restaurant to be so good. She ate whatever Sister Shu ate. She gained almost ten pounds in this month. Her father scolded her when she got home, asking her if she had been lazy at work, otherwise how could she gain weight while working.

Rong Xiaohua happily told her father what she had for lunch every day. After that, Uncle Rong was silent for a minute, then rubbed his hands and said, "My dear, how about I take care of the store for you and you sell pork?"

Rong Xiaohua choked when she heard this. What? Her father is trying to steal her job. She looked at her father and said, "Dad, if you run a store with your body, customers won't dare to come. You might as well be a security guard."

"Go! Go! Go."

Rong Xiaohua put a piece of pig's trotter into her mouth, and recalled the conversation with her father with a smile. When she thought of something, she turned her head and said to Song Shu, "Sister Shu, do you have an adult version of the ancient costume dress you gave Jiahui today?"

Song Shu nodded, "Yes, I have designed several styles for adults. I made two sets last night. I plan to discuss cooperation with Miss Du then."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, and we definitely can’t keep up with the manual labor. We can only rely on clothing factories. But I don’t know whether Miss Song will accept this cooperation. After all, ancient costumes are still a blank market, and we don’t know what the prospects are.

But if Ms. Du does not plan to cooperate on this model of clothing, Song Shu plans to do it herself. She will first produce a small batch to test the waters, then find newspapers to place advertisements, and then consider other channels for promotion.

For example, the lantern festival, I heard it will be open for three days, from the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival to the day after. She can then invite a few models to wear ancient costumes and hold lanterns to walk around the Lantern Street. The publicity effect will definitely be good and it will definitely attract customers.

Rong Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed when she heard the voice and said, "Well, is there any ancient costume suitable for me? Can I wear it with my body shape?"

Rong Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed. She had a rather stout figure and it was usually difficult for her to buy clothes. She usually couldn't fit into the clothes she liked, and even if she did, they didn't look good on her.

Song Shu curled her lips and smiled gently, "Of course you can. The ancient beauty Concubine Yang Guifei wore a Tang suit."

Rong Xiaohua nodded vigorously after hearing this. It was said that Concubine Yang Guifei was also slightly plump. "Yes, then I will buy a few more sets and use my salary to buy them, hehe."

While the two were having lunch, Song Shu told her about the styles of ancient costumes.

Hearing that Song Shu was planning to hire a few models to promote the lantern show, Rong Xiaohua patted her chest and guaranteed, "Sister Shu, I will take care of this for you. I will definitely find a few beautiful girls to promote it for you."

Song Shu nodded and said, "Thank you for your help. When the matter is settled, I will give you a set of Tang-style skirts."

Rong Xiaohua nodded happily, "It seems that I got the upper hand. Sister Shu, I will definitely get it done for you."

At Chow Brothers Film Company, Eve walked into an office with a document in her hand.

In the office, Tian Tian was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed to rest, while the young assistant was sitting beside her and massaging her shoulders to relax her.

Tian Tian has been filming a movie on the set for the past month, and only finished filming today to take a break.

In this movie, she no longer plays a vase role, but plays the leading female role in the movie. Moreover, this leading female role is not a foil to the leading male role as usual. On the contrary, this leading female role has more scenes than the leading male role.

The movie is a martial arts movie, and Tian Tian plays a master in it. She has to perform a lot of martial arts scenes throughout the movie, and almost a whole month is spent on fighting scenes. Not to mention Tian Tian, ​​even other martial arts stars would not be able to handle it, but Tian Tian persevered.

Eve thought she would complain and give up, but to her surprise, Tian Tian did not complain at all. Instead, she strictly followed the martial arts master's instructions every day. If she was not satisfied with the filming, she would go over it again with the director until she was satisfied.

This perseverance impressed even those who were not optimistic about her at the beginning, and she was even nicknamed "Workaholic" in the crew.

＊

The assistant looked up and called out "Sister Eve" when she saw the person coming in.

Tian Tian opened her eyes when she heard the voice, glanced at the document in her hand, and said, "Sister Eve, what's the matter?"

Eve handed her the program plan. "In a few days, it will not only be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the 15th anniversary of our company. The board of directors decided to hold a big party together with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Almost all the stars in the company will participate in the party. What are your plans?"

Chow Brothers Film Company is the largest film and television company in Hong Kong. Not only does it own Hong Kong's largest wireless television station, TVB, but more than half of the films on the market come from this company. As a result, it has countless artistes under its umbrella, and most of Hong Kong's artistes come from this company.

The gala it holds can be said to be star-studded and is the largest gala in Hong Kong every year. Not to mention that this year is the company's 15th anniversary, it is much more lively than previous years.

Tian Tian took the program plan and started reading it. She knew how important this party was. Not only would celebrities attend, but company executives, other producers, directors and celebrities would also attend. It could be said to be a large social party.

Anyone who can steal the show at a party will be the most dazzling person of the night. Who doesn’t want to be the center of attention, and Tian Tian is no exception.

After reading the program plan, Tian Tian looked up at Eve and said, "Sister Eve, I can't think of any good ideas. What else can we do besides singing and dancing? Besides, singers are much better at singing and dancing than us."

Eve knew this too, and crossed her arms over her shoulders, "It's like this, we can't be brilliant or ugly, if we really can't do it we can just not perform, otherwise it will be a waste of time."

Tian Tian still wanted to perform, but her dancing was just average, and her singing was even worse. "I'll wait and see."

Eve nodded. "Okay. You just finished filming a movie. I haven't arranged any activities for you recently. You should take a few days off first."

"Okay." Tian Tian stretched lazily. She needed to rest for a few more days. She hadn't visited Ashu for more than a month and was thinking of going to see her tomorrow.

＊

In the evening, Song Shu walked towards the kindergarten and waited at the school gate to pick up Jiahui.

But she had only stood at the school gate for a while when Teacher Li, whom she had met in the morning, came over and said to her politely, "Hello, Miss Song. Our headmaster wants to discuss something with you. Do you have time?"

Song Shu was surprised to hear this. If the head teacher had something to discuss with her, even if Jiahui had something to discuss, it would be the teacher in the class who would handle it, not the head teacher. Thinking this way, Song Shu's expression remained unchanged and she nodded, "Of course."

Teacher Li took Song Shu to the principal's office and said, "Little Jiahui, our teacher will take care of her first. Don't worry, Miss Song."

Song Shu nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, teacher."

"No trouble."

The two walked for a few minutes and arrived at an office. Teacher Li knocked on the door and said, "Director, I'm here to see Miss Song."

A gentle voice came from inside, "Come in."

Song Shu and Teacher Li walked in, and saw the headmaster standing up from behind the desk and extending his hand to shake her hand. "Hello, Miss Song. I am the headmaster, Zhang Wenjun."

Song Shu reached out and shook his hand, "Hello, Director Zhang."

"Let's sit over here. Someone just sent me some good tea. Let's sit down and talk while drinking tea."

The director extended his hand and led Song Shu to the tea room next to the office.

Song Shu walked over and sat on a sofa under her guidance. The head teacher sat on the sofa at the top and Teacher Li sat opposite her.

The headmaster sat down and made tea for them first. He poured a cup of tea in front of them and then said, "Miss Song, the reason why Teacher Li invited you this time is because this Mid-Autumn Festival, the Hong Kong government asked all schools in Hong Kong, from kindergarten to high school, to come up with a program to co-host a party."

Song Shu took a sip of tea and listened to what she said. It seemed that she had nothing to do with this joint party.

The headmaster glanced at Teacher Li, who continued, "This morning, when I saw the costume that Jiahui was wearing, an idea suddenly occurred to me. I suggested to the headmaster that we redesign an ancient dance. We are planning to ask Miss Song if you are willing to design the costumes for this dance?"

Song Shu paused after hearing the action of drinking tea. So that's what was happening. The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala for all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong was still organized by the Hong Kong government. It looked like a large-scale party that attracted the attention of the whole of Hong Kong.

This was completely consistent with her previous idea of ​​promoting ancient costumes, so it was a good opportunity for promotion.

The head teacher waited for Teacher Li to finish speaking, and then continued sincerely, "Our kindergarten will pay for the design. The price is negotiable. And I'm sure Miss Song knows how grand and important this party is. To be honest, I want to design this show for the party to promote our kindergarten. Similarly, if the show is outstanding, it will also promote your reputation as a designer. I hope Miss Song can consider it carefully."

This is indeed a good opportunity. Song Shu raised her eyes and looked at the director and said, "Okay, I'll take this clothing design. Just like the director said, this is also a good opportunity for me."

The head teacher and Teacher Li both breathed a sigh of relief, with sincere smiles on their faces, and raised their teacups, "Ms. Song, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Song Shu also picked up the teacup. "May I ask what song and dance you adapted? I can design it according to the situation."

The chief planner of the kindergarten evening singing and dancing program was Teacher Li. Since she was the one who proposed the idea, the principal gave her full responsibility. Teacher Li was very enthusiastic about this and discussed it with other teachers for the whole afternoon and reached a preliminary consensus.

Teacher Li then said, "Our school is planning to adapt a song called "May We Live Long" released by female singer Yu Junli last year, which is just right for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Song Shu nodded. "Okay, I'll finish the design in the next two days and let you guys take a look. If there's no problem, I'll be able to make the clothes for you the next day, just in time for the party."

The headmaster nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Thank you, Miss Song."

After discussing some details, they signed the contract directly, agreeing that the designed costumes belonged to Song Shu. Except for the kindergarten's use of the costumes for this party, Song Shu could decide on other uses.

After Song Shu signed the contract with the principals, she went to the class to pick up Jiahui. At this time, most of the children in the kindergarten had left. When Song Shu went over, the little ones were playing in the classroom, with a little boy sitting next to them and a female teacher watching them.

The two of them were playing by themselves, but the little boy would glance at Jiahui from time to time, like a little hamster.

Song Shu found it interesting. After watching for a while, she spoke: "Jiahui."

Jiahui heard the voice and looked up to see her. A big smile appeared on her face and she called out "Sister Shu."

Then he quickly put the toys into the toy box beside him, stood up and said to the teacher: "Teacher, my aunt is here to pick me up."

The teacher also saw Song Shu, and took Jiahui's hand and walked towards the door.

Jiahui hugged Song Shu's legs and looked up at her, "Sister Shu, Jiahui has been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Shu lowered her head and rubbed her head. "Sorry, I was busy just now."

Jiahui shook her head, "It's okay."

Song Shu took her hand and said to the teacher, "Then I will take Jiahui away. Sorry to trouble you, teacher."

The female teacher shook her head. "No trouble, Jiahui. Goodbye."

Jiahui raised her head and waved her hand, "Goodbye, teacher."

Then he turned his head and said goodbye to the little boy in the classroom, "Bye, Lele."

The little boy put down his toy after hearing the sound and nodded, "See you tomorrow, Jiahui."

After saying goodbye, Song Shu took her hand and walked out.

＊

On the way, Song Shu turned into a jewelry store and bought some hairpins and headbands for her and Jiahui, as well as other miscellaneous accessories, thinking that they would go better with the ancient costumes.

After walking around the jewelry store, Song Shu found some wooden hairpins. Although the hairpins looked a bit simple, the plum blossoms or other patterns on them were carved to look lifelike.

Song Shu couldn't let go of them and bought seven or eight of them. When paying, she curiously asked, "Did you carve this hairpin yourself?"

The shop owner was a young girl. She raised her eyes, paused for a moment on Jiahui, and said, "Yes, this was carved by my grandmother herself."

Song Shu exclaimed: "Your grandmother is amazing. These wooden hairpins are very delicately carved."

The girl smiled and said, "Thank you. I will tell my grandmother about your compliment. So, is the dress this little girl is wearing a modified Tang Dynasty dress?"

Song Shu's face flashed with surprise. No one but her recognized that this was a modified Tang Dynasty costume. Most people only knew that it was an ancient costume. "Yes."

The girl seemed to know her confusion and said, "It's mainly because my grandmother likes to study some ancient cultural customs, so I know a little bit about it."

Song Shu became even more curious about the grandmother. She thought she was a very knowledgeable person. It would be great if she could meet her if she had the chance.

After paying the bill, Song Shu took Jiahui home.

When we arrived at the store, there were a few customers who came in. When they saw the clothes Jiahui was wearing, they curiously asked Song Shu if she had any adult styles.

When Song Shu replied that new ones would be available in two or three days, they all said that they would definitely come to buy a set.

Song Shu felt happy. It was true that it was hard for girls to resist a beautiful ancient costume. And it seemed that her plan of finding a few girls to wear costumes and walk around the lantern festival was feasible.

＊

In the evening, Chen Zonghao did not come back, so Song Shu and Jiahui washed up and locked the room.

After the little guy fell asleep, Song Shu sat on the chair and turned on the desk lamp, which was bought for her by Chen Zonghao.

Song Shu glanced at the lamp, then took out her design book, holding a pen, and thought about the costumes for the kindergarten dance.

The song "Wishing You a Long Life" was adapted from a poem by Su Shi called "When Will the Bright Moon Appear?" and was written during the Mid-Autumn Festival when the poet was gazing at the moon and missing someone.

Song Shu thought that she could take some elements of the moon, Chang'e, the jade rabbit, and the osmanthus tree contained in the poems.

With an idea in mind, designing became much easier. Song Shu drew a few sloppy sketches by circling and drawing.

Song Shu stretched her body and looked at the alarm clock. It was already past eleven o'clock, so she put away the drawings and planned to continue tomorrow.

He put away his things, stood up, turned off the desk light, and prepared to go to the bed.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from the living room. Song Shu paused, panicked, and thought of something. She called out through the door, "Chen Zonghao?"

After a few seconds, I heard a familiar voice, "It's me."

Then the footsteps approached her room and stopped in front of her door. A man's voice came through the door, "I bought some barbecue. Do you want some?"

After hearing this, Song Shu's eyes lit up, "Yes, I want to eat it."

As he said that, he walked over, opened the door, and looked up at the man standing outside.

The man's hair seemed to have grown a little longer as he hadn't had a haircut for more than a month, making his face look less harsh.

The man was wearing a sleeveless vest, revealing the muscles on his arms, and a wave of heat hit his face as he stood there.

Song Shu's fingers grasping the door handle moved, thinking of the scene when she first came through. It was also a night like this, but she was frightened and panicked at that time. Thinking of the first time they met, she couldn't help laughing.

Chen Zonghao looked at her smiling face and raised his eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"

Song Shu's mouth curled up, "I thought of the scene when we first met."

But the man heard it and said quietly, "Oh, I got hit with a stick that night."

Song Shu felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the stick she had swung. She quickly reached out to turn the man around and then pushed his back with both hands towards the dining table. "Oh, let's have some barbecue."

She secretly complained in her heart, this man really holds a grudge. She was actually scared by him, otherwise she wouldn't have beaten him with a stick.

Chen Zonghao followed her force and walked over to the dining table and took out the barbecue.

Song Shu withdrew her hand, feeling that the man had a very high body temperature. Her palms seemed to be sweating just from touching his back.

Chen Zonghao put the barbecue on the table, picked up a bottle of iced cola on the table, turned around and put his face to hers, "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah." Song Shu came back to her senses after being chilled for a moment. She quickly took the bottle of Coke from his hand and shook her head to cover it up. "I didn't think anything."

Having said that, she walked around him and sat on the chair, looking at the barbecue on the table, roasted chicken wings, roasted chicken legs, beef skewers, mutton skewers, roasted leeks, garlic vermicelli, etc., which were extremely rich and fragrant, making one's mouth water.

Seeing so many delicious foods, Song Shu anxiously reached out and pulled the man to sit on the chair next to her, "Quick, quick, sit down, let's eat."

Chen Zonghao sat down under her force, picked up a bottle of iced beer, opened it and took a sip. After drinking, he lowered his head and met the woman's big eyes looking at him, "What's wrong?"

Song Shu pointed at the beer in his hand and shook the Coke in her own hand, "Why am I the Coke?"

Chen Zonghao put the beer on the table, glanced at her, and said slowly: "You don't know how much alcohol you can drink."

Song Shu was stunned, thinking of her previous drunken experience, so she could only take a sip of Coke and retorted in a low voice: "My alcohol tolerance is actually not that bad, I just drank too much that time."

Chen Zonghao heard her mumbling, curled his lips and said nothing, otherwise she would have been angry out of shame.

Song Shu no longer cared about the beer. She picked up the skewers and started eating them with relish, taking a sip of iced cola from time to time. She was extremely happy.

The two people were eating side by side, and the man's trousers and the woman's skirt were touching each other under the table, vaguely.

After eating for a while, Song Shu heard the man next to her ask, "How is the store clothing factory doing recently?"

After hearing this, Song Shu looked at him sideways, her tone brightening, "Well, it's OK. I can buy a house with full payment now."

Chen Zonghao saw her eyebrows raised, with a look of pride and complacency on her face, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Really amazing."

Song Shu felt a little embarrassed when she was praised, "It's just so-so."

When they were almost done eating, the man stood up and walked towards his room. After a while, he came out again and put a card on the table and pushed it in front of her. "This is my card. Take it and let's buy a house together."

Song Shu paused while biting the beef skewer, and looked at him in shock and confusion, "Huh?"

Chen Zonghao took his hand back, his face calm and collected, "I bought a house for you."

Song Shu waved her hands and said, "No, I can't take so much money from you."

Chen Zonghao opened his mouth to say something, but Song Shu spoke first, "Well, we all know what our engagement is about. You have been helping me all along, and I have done you no favors. I cannot accept this money."

Chen Zonghao watched her rosy little mouth opening and closing. Perhaps because of the skewers she had eaten, her lips looked much more beautiful than usual. For a moment, Chen Zonghao wanted to go up and cover her mouth to make her swallow the annoying words.

But seeing her stubborn yet serious expression, even though there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, Chen Zonghao still suppressed his restlessness and said calmly: "I mean, wherever you buy a house, you can also buy me one next door."

He paused for a moment, "Being neighbors means we can take care of each other. Jiahui will miss you."

After listening to what he said, Song Shu paused as she was about to push the bank card back. "Do you want me to help you buy a house next door to mine?"

Chen Zonghao leaned back in his chair, and stretched out his long legs under the table. In an instant, his legs touched Song Shu's legs. He raised his eyelids and looked at her, "Yes."

Song Shu met his gaze. At that moment, she felt that he was very aggressive. Her legs, which were under the table, trembled. She looked away and lowered her eyebrows. "Okay, it's OK."

＊

Lying on the bed, Song Shu turned over and replayed the scenes in her mind one by one. The inexplicable emotions in her heart made her restless.

She felt that as soon as she finished speaking, the man's aura suddenly became intimidating. She wondered if she had said something wrong, but then she thought that she had not said anything wrong. Their engagement was a mistake from the beginning.

Song Shu curled her lips, feeling irritated and a little bitter that she had never experienced before. She was not his.

Turning over, Song Shu threw away the thoughts in her mind. She decided not to think about them anymore. They were annoying.

Next door, Chen Zonghao was lying on the bed with his left hand behind his head and his right hand constantly turning the lighter in his hand. The woman's every frown and smile flashed through his mind, making his heart seem to be rubbed.

For a moment he really wanted to cover her mouth, but that was a last resort and the last thing he lacked was patience.

＊

In the morning, when Song Shu got up, the man was gone and there was breakfast on the table.

After breakfast, Song Shu and Jia Hui changed her into a new set of Chinese-style clothes. This set of clothes was not as gorgeous as the one she wore yesterday, but it was more elegant.

Song Shu also used jewelry to tie her hair into a simple bun, and she attracted a lot of attention on the way to school.

After coming back, Song Shu continued to work on the design sketch in the room.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Rong Xiaohua came in and shouted that Miss Du’s assistant was here.

Song Shu walked out, and sure enough, Assistant Sun was standing in the store. Song Shu led her to sit on the sofa next to her, "Assistant Sun, what can I do for you?"

Assistant Sun took out a document from his bag and handed it to her, saying, "Ms. Song, this is this month's report. Please take a look."

Song Shu took it and looked at it carefully. The report was clear at a glance. The shipment volume of each country this month was clearly shown. Song Shu was quite satisfied.

Assistant Sun saw her looking at the report and said, "In addition to the report, I also wanted to discuss next month's sales plan with Miss Song. Next month..."

Song Shu nodded as she listened, occasionally offering her own opinions. The two of them talked for almost half an hour before they stopped.

After Assistant Sun finished his instructions, he said, "If you don't have any other questions, Miss Song, I'll leave first."

Song Shu thought of her Mid-Autumn Festival plan and said, "Assistant Sun, wait a minute. I have a plan here. Please take it back to Miss Du for her review."

Song Shu asked Assistant Sun to wait for a moment, then walked into the back room, took out several sets of ancient costumes for adults and children, as well as the plan she had made on the table, and walked out.

Song Shu sat back on the sofa and handed her the plan. After she took it and read it, she showed her the clothes in her hand one by one, "This is the clothes mentioned in the plan. This one is a modification of the Han system, and this one is a modification of the Tang system..."

After Song Shu finished showing off several sets of costumes, she began to speak, "In addition to the on-site promotion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, the Hong Kong government is planning a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala for all schools in Hong Kong. A kindergarten plans to adapt an ancient dance, and I will design the dance costumes they wear. Assistant Sun should have heard of this gala, so this is a good opportunity to promote ancient costumes."

Song Shu continued, "Moreover, the Hong Kong government and the mainland have been negotiating recently. I believe it won't take long for the contract to be signed according to the mainland's idea."

Song Shu knew that the contract for Hong Kong's return would be signed in 1984, which was not far away, and the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong would become closer and closer.

Song Shu continued, "We can definitely follow the steps and use this to promote our excellent Chinese culture. This ancient costume is a good opportunity. Clothing is not just a piece of clothing, but also a trace left by history. Moreover, sometimes the influence of culture is beyond your imagination."

Just like how the cultural invasion of Korea and Japan came about in later generations.

Assistant Sun was surprised after hearing her words. He never thought Miss Song thought so far ahead. What's more, she was absolutely right. If they could take advantage of this opportunity, their business would be able to reach a higher level.

Assistant Sun nodded while holding the plan. "Ms. Song is very far-sighted. I will definitely bring your plan to Miss Du if you have any more information. I think Miss Du will consider it seriously. I will also take a few of these clothes to Miss Du for reference. Is that okay with you, Miss Du?"

"Of course." Song Shu asked Rong Xiaohua to bring a few bags and prepared to put the clothes into the bags.

At this time, Tian Tian walked into the store from outside and walked towards Song Shu, smiling, "Ah Shu, long time no see."

When Song Shu saw Tian Tian, ​​she smiled happily and stood up. "Long time no see. Have you finished filming the movie?"

Before Tian Tian joined the crew, she told her that she was going to join the filming.

Tian Tian shrugged, "It's finished. If it wasn't finished, Sister Eve wouldn't give me a day off. But there's still a party afterwards, so annoying."

Song Shu comforted her and said, "Then you should have a good rest these few days."

"Yeah." Tian Tian nodded, and glanced casually, and saw the skirt in Song Shu's hand, "Hey, this is an ancient costume, did you design it, Ah Shu?"

Song Shu nodded and showed her friend the clothes she designed. "Yes, I designed it."

Tian Tian looked at those skirts that were either gorgeous or fairy-like. She had never filmed a costume drama, but she had seen these costumes before.

However, since they couldn't afford to spend a lot of money on costumes, the clothes for those filming were somewhat crudely made, and there was not much design to speak of. But Song Shu's clothes were much more refined and beautiful.

Thinking of the company's Mid-Autumn Festival party, Tian Tian suddenly had an idea. She thought of what she could perform and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Ah Shu, you are really my lucky star. Do you sell this skirt? I want to wear it at the company's anniversary party."

Song Shu was moved when she heard her words, "The company's anniversary party?"

Tian Tian's company is the number one entertainment company in Hong Kong. You can imagine how grand the anniversary party will be, and there will be reports on radio and television newspapers.

Tian Tian nodded, "Yes, it's the 15th anniversary party. Sister Eve said it will be a big event. All the celebrities under the company will participate, as well as the company's senior management and other celebrities."

Song Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Of course you can wear it, and I will sponsor the clothes for you. It's just right for me to use your fame to promote myself."

Tian Tian smiled and said, "This is what we call mutual benefit. But I only have a rough idea, can you help me figure it out?"

"Okay, wait a moment." Song Shu nodded, turned to Assistant Sun and said, "It seems that not only the kindergarten party, but also the Shaw Brothers Film and Television party here can be a promotional opportunity for us. Assistant Sun can go back and talk to Miss Du."

Assistant Sun was now filled with admiration. With just a few words, Miss Song had come up with a new promotional tactic. She was truly an amazing person. Not only was she gifted in design, she also had the ability to prevent her talent from being buried.

Assistant Sun's expression became more respectful and he nodded, "I'll tell Miss Du."

Song Shu handed her the packed clothes and said, "Have a nice day, Assistant Sun."

"good."

After Assistant Sun left, Song Shu and Tian Tian sat back on the sofa. Song Shu was the first to speak: "Have you thought of a performance?"

Tian Tian nodded, "I'm planning to do an ancient style dance, like the ones in costume dramas, and since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Yang's 'Colorful Dress Dance' is a good choice."

Song Shu thought for a while and then asked, "Did you practice a lot of martial arts scenes in the movies you filmed recently?"

Tian Tian didn't know why she suddenly asked about her movie, but she nodded anyway, "Yes, I learned from the martial arts instructor for a while, and I can still show off a few tricks to scare people."

Song Shu heard this and said, "I have an idea, which is..."
