Are you sure you want to decorate like this?
The man looking at the blueprints stubbed out his cigarette, exhaled, and said leisurely. He had taken on many shop renovation jobs, but they were all the same. Only her blueprints were provided by himself, and they looked very original.
The man guessed that in the near future, this blueprint could become the ancestor of clothing stores, although no one might accept this kind of store now.
"certainly."
As a transmigrator from a future century, Jiang Yu naturally knew the future trends. Moreover, she believed that once the shop was renovated, many people would come to visit.
"You have a good eye."
The man was a worker who loved innovation; he was particularly fond of niche topics. However, no one could afford to risk ruining the shop and disrupting business. Therefore, they never accepted his suggestions. To earn a living, the man gradually stopped offering his opinions.
Jiang Yu's requests seemed tailor-made for her. The man listened attentively, occasionally scribbling and drawing on scrap paper to make notes.
Jiang Yu took him to inspect the shop. After discussing the price, the man left his contact information and address, saying he would finish the renovation as soon as possible, and then left.
Shortly after he left, the woman selling kitchenware came over and quietly reminded Jiang Yu.
"Young lady, you look quite young, you must have just graduated, right? It's a good thing to open a shop in the department store, but you can't just hire someone to do the renovations."
That man just now never does things like a proper shop; he always adds or applies whatever he wants, and many people complain. If you really want a good job, I can recommend a few reliable construction teams.
Jiang Yu stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous. After all, she had spent a considerable amount of time drawing the blueprints and had even paid him a substantial sum. What if she ruined them?
Out of a successful person's trust in the unknown, she could only choose to remain silent.
"It's okay, I believe him."
Jiang Yu wasn't sure if she was just trying to comfort herself or if those words just slipped out, but she felt a tightness in her chest. Seeing her stubbornness, her older sister sighed and gave up.
The materials needed for the shop were hard to find; Jiang Yu searched the entire market and only found half of them. She sighed, planning to come back when the renovations were officially underway, when she looked up and saw Li Xianxue.
Jiang Yu was deeply impressed by this man; his handsome face and gentlemanly manners left a good impression on her.
"Hello, comrade."
The man, who was planning to buy a desk lamp, was torn between beige and green when he suddenly heard someone greet him. He turned around and saw Jiang Yu.
He recognized the person in front of him at a glance. His hand stopped abruptly, and he smiled as he said:
"Comrade, are you here to buy something too? What a coincidence."
"I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time. Now that we've finally met again, I must thank you once more."
Jiang Yu still remembered when Zhang Yanfang made things difficult for her at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative; only he had come to her rescue. Otherwise, if she had been searched, her reputation would have been ruined.
"It's alright. After all, that comrade wronged someone first. I was just doing a small favor; it's not as great as you make it out to be."
The two chatted for a few words. When she learned that he wanted to change his desk lamp, Jiang Yu asked about the color scheme of his home and ultimately suggested a beige desk lamp.
Li Xianxue originally intended to use a green table lamp to add some brightness to the soft color scheme of his home, but after listening to Jiang Yu's explanation of the room's decor, he silently put down the green lamp and picked up the beige one to pay for it.
It was here that I began to look at the woman in front of me with new respect. She was so young, yet she had so many insights; I truly admired her.
I heard that Jiang Yu opened a clothing store in a department store. When I found out the location, I was really worried for her.
The owner had taken out numerous loans from their bank to keep the shop afloat. Many people still gossip behind his back, saying that the location was unlucky for wealth.
Jiang Yu smiled, thanked the man, asked his name, and said goodbye.
Li Xianxue, what a fine name.
When Jiang Yu got home, the workers had already finished their shift. She cooked a simple meal and then took out paper and pen to make a plan. She decided what color fabric to buy, how much she needed, what size needle and thread to use, and what brand of sewing machine to buy that would last the longest.
The tassels and pendants on the clothes also need to be organized. Different styles of clothes should be paired with different kinds of jewelry. We also need to design a few bold and novel clothes to hang on the wall in the store to attract customers. Finally, we can match them with shoes and we'll be all done.
In her dream, she clearly saw the clothing store after its renovation, looking completely brand new.
Jiang Yu woke up to laughter and was startled to see Shen Niannian looking at her with curiosity.
"Mommy, what did you dream about? You kept saying lots of money, lots of money. Did you dream that you had lots of money to buy delicious food for Niannian?"
Dad went for a run outside, and my sister was heating up breakfast in the other room. Judging from the pile of drafts on her table, she must have stayed up very late again last night, which is why no one woke her up.
Dad cooked the meal, but Shen Niannian didn't want to eat it at all. He just stayed there, waiting for Mom to wake up.
After understanding the situation, Jiang Yu got up and went to make something delicious for the little glutton. She fried two sausages and made a dumpling soup. When Shen Suisui saw the delicious food, she glanced at her own bowl, put down the food her father had made, and prepared to save it for him for lunch.
After eating, Jiang Yu went to catch her train. There were almost no people on the train, so she walked very quickly.
When I arrived at the store, the man from yesterday was already taking care of it and had even brought over a few people to help.
Remembering the advice the kitchenware seller had given her yesterday, Jiang Yu walked up to the man and swallowed hard. She stopped herself each time she was about to ask a question.
When you're out in the world, whether it's for work or other interactions, trust is paramount. Once trust is broken, at best the other party will go on strike. At worst, they might sabotage your work in the future, and it will be too late to regret it.
Jiang Yu endured it, quietly watching the group renovate. Her eyes were practically blind from watching so closely, but she dared not slack off for a moment, afraid that she might accidentally ruin something. Renovating would not only cost money, but also take a lot of time.
The man would occasionally ask questions when he couldn't understand the blueprints, but most of the time he was focused on his work and they hardly interacted at all.
Finally, as they were finishing up, Jiang Yu found a stool to sit down and rest for a while. How petty of her! The other person had followed the blueprints exactly. She had even made minor adjustments halfway through, worried that some parts might not be right, and was very satisfied with the final result.
After settling the final payment, we can start preparing the interior decoration. Before leaving, the man didn't forget to say that if there's another comfortable job like this in the future, you can recommend it to him.
Jiang Yu nodded, unable to contain her joy.
"See? I told you he was unreliable, didn't I? His work is completely different from everyone else's."
The woman selling kitchenware saw the large bags of trash that the group of people were carrying and knew at a glance that they were in trouble. She figured they must have been disguised in some kind of way. But when she saw the store, she was shocked.
