"Girl, don't fall in love with me."
Since they couldn't go out together, Zhao Shanshan went to the library with Gu An'an. She had originally thought that she had achieved her goal after getting into university and was content to wait for a job after graduation and live a peaceful life.
But seeing how hard Gu An'an was working, she felt that she was living a very decadent life.
Aren't you tired?
Gu An'an looked up and moved her wrists. "Not tired."
Having lived through the past, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to study, live, and earn money peacefully.
"Think of something for me, which direction should I strive towards?"
She felt she should also try harder.
"Focus on your studies first, then see what interests or strengths you have. If you start from these two aspects, you'll have a better chance of success."
"Interests? I don't seem to have any interests or special skills. The only thing I can do is draw. I'll bring my sketchbook for you to see next time."
"So you studied architectural design because you like drawing?"
Zhao Shanshan shrugged. "Actually, I'd rather study jewelry or fashion design, but my old man in the family disagreed and insisted that I enroll in this program."
The person she calls an "old relic" is undoubtedly her father, whom she often mentions.
In fact, Gu An'an was quite envious. Judging from her usual words, she knew that this girl had been surrounded by love since childhood, unlike her, who had a shallow blood relationship with her.
After exchanging a few words, the two went back to doing their own thing.
Two days later, Zhao Shanshan actually brought out a thick sketchbook, saying, "Take a look and see if I have any talent for designing jewelry or clothes."
Gu An'an took the notebook and her eyes lit up slightly. It had to be said that the clothing designs she had created were based on the perspectives of later generations.
Zhao Shanshan is a native, but the things she designs will never be outdated, even decades later.
Many styles can even be easily modified and then directly produced as prototypes for shipment.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Gu An'an is Zhao Shanshan's idol now. As she watched Gu An'an flipping through the sketchbook faster and faster, Zhao Shanshan became more and more nervous.
Was her drawing really that bad? She didn't even want to stop for five seconds.
What she didn't know was that Gu An'an had a photographic memory; with just a glance, she could accurately assess whether a design had commercial value.
After Gu An'an finished reading the entire book, she couldn't wait to ask, "How was it?"
Do you want to make money?
She hadn't provided patterns to the garment factory for a long time since she got busy, so if Zhao Shanshan was willing, it would save her a lot of trouble.
"Make money? Me?"
Although her family is not short of money, she didn't earn a single penny of it. When she first heard about the opportunity to make money, she couldn't stay calm.
"Yes, this one, this one, this one... If you make a few minor changes, I can connect you with a garment factory, help you realize your dream of becoming a designer, and earn some money to prove yourself."
"I'll change it!"
Zhao Shanshan's eyes sparkled; from now on, she was a capable person too.
"Okay, I'll retouch this one a little, and this one..."
Gu An'an asked her to edit three pictures, and Zhao Shanshan immediately calmed down and began to make changes.
Is this okay?
Gu An'an nodded, "Okay!"
Zhao Shanshan felt greatly encouraged and continued to revise the remaining few pictures. Only after they passed the inspection did she realize that she had gotten carried away.
"Does anyone really want these pictures?"
"Of course, my father-in-law is the factory manager of Hongqi Garment Factory. The factory is doing well, but what it lacks is all kinds of novel designs."
"Hongqi Garment Factory? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before."
Zhao Shanshan thought for a moment and then started to take off her coat. When she opened the collar, she saw that the sign on the collar said something like "Hongqi Garment Factory".
"Did your uncle's factory also make these clothes?"
Gu An'an nodded.
Zhao Shanshan smiled. She was usually aloof and rarely showed such a bright smile.
"Could you ask my uncle if he wants this design? If he does, I'll take it for free."
She really likes the clothes from Hongqi Garment Factory. Most of the clothes in her wardrobe are from them. They are simple, elegant, and make her look sophisticated. Even the unremarkable gray and white clothes can make her stand out.
If the quality of her clothes is this good, and her designs are chosen, doesn't that mean she has a real talent for becoming a fashion designer?
"Okay, I'll send it over as soon as possible. I'll also call my father-in-law and tell him that as long as they like the design, you'll get your payment."
Since she had said that, Zhao Shanshan didn't hesitate any longer. "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner then."
After speaking, Zhao Shanshan urged Gu An'an to mail the letter, and stayed by her side closely, as if she was afraid that Gu An'an would change her mind.
After mailing the letter, Zhao Shanshan accompanied Gu An'an on the phone call before she began to look forward to it.
"An'an, do you think we might not get elected?"
"Don't worry about it."
She didn't say that the factory would definitely use anything she liked; sometimes waiting is a wonderful thing.
However, after making that phone call, Gu An'an began to consider a new problem: the fact that Xiao's parents were living apart was actually quite bad.
The current economic climate is getting better and better. Even if Xiao's father only wants to work in that industry, he can still set up his own factory in Beijing. Land is cheap now, and the garment factory can make money if it does, or he can sell the land later if it doesn't. Who can say that this is not a good business?
Having made up their minds, all that's left is to wait for the right time.
Two weeks later, Gu An'an placed an envelope in front of Zhao Shanshan.
Zhao Shanshan's attention wasn't on the money at all. "My design was used?"
"Congratulations! All four of your designs have been successfully adopted. In ten days to two weeks, you will be able to buy clothes that you designed yourself in Beijing."
"Ahhh! Really? I really did it?"
Zhao Shanshan jumped three feet high and excitedly hugged Gu An'an, unwilling to let go, so tightly that Gu An'an just wanted to push her away.
"Yes. You succeeded, but could you please let go of my hand? I can't breathe."
Zhao Shanshan then realized she had moved too roughly and had choked Gu An'an quite badly. She released her grip immediately, asking, "Are you alright? I wasn't paying attention..."
Under normal circumstances, Gu An'an would have already left her behind. But considering that she was genuinely so happy that she forgot her limits, she should forgive her.
"Don't you want to open it and see how many there are?"
"Open it, I'll open it now."
This is different from the money I ask my parents for. "So much?"
