Yun Laohu was busy with the military exercise and didn't come home for several days.
Mi Xaing 'er went to school as usual.
Five days had passed, and there was no news about the Tang Xiling. According to Chen Jiaxuan, this was good news.
It was the weekend.
Mi Xaing 'er finally received a call from her mother, who was about to fly to America. Although she didn't get to talk to her mother personally, she was relieved.
No matter what, the Tang Xiling incident was temporarily over.
Little New Year was coming.
Mi Xaing 'er went to Feng Xiuzhu's place.
The moment she entered, she handed her a popular magazine and smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Sister Xiuzhu, look at the cover."
Feng Xiuzhu looked down and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Oh my god, this Feng Xian 'er really wore our design to the award ceremony? And she even shot the cover of the magazine? Xiang 'er, you're really something. "
Mi Xaing 'er raised her chin proudly. "Sister Xiuzhu, look inside. Page 23. Look … she even mentioned your name in the interview."
As expected …
Inside was Feng Xian's interview. It mainly talked about the turbulent ten years, her rough life, the pain after losing her daughter, and her achievements after making a comeback.
Feng Xian had made a comeback in her life. At the same time, she won the Thousand Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress and Most Popular Actress … two honors.
How did Mi Xaing 'er know her?
It was because she had provided Feng Xian with the information to expose Gu Qianxing that Feng Xian was able to avenge her daughter. Of course, she was very grateful. It was the Thousand Flowers Award Ceremony … Mi Xaing 'er took the opportunity to suggest custom-made clothes for her. She even drew a few fashionable designs for her to choose from. Feng Xian liked it very much and immediately agreed.
This could be considered as temporarily increasing the popularity of her "brand" … After all, she was on a magazine! Making clothes for famous people could also be considered as a capital for future clothing business!
Mi Xaing 'er looked at Feng Xiuzhu with a smile. "Sister Xiuzhu, send a copy of this magazine back to Shanghai and let Master be happy for you!"
Feng Xiuzhu pursed his lips proudly. "Yes, I have to send it back. I've only been in the provincial capital for less than two months, and I've already made clothes for movie stars. Moreover, I've even appeared in a pictorial. Of course, I have to show off to my father. Also, I want to put this interview and this photo in a photo frame for the customers to see. "
Mi Xaing 'er agreed. "That's a good idea! Sister Xiuzhu, how's the business in the shop these days? I'm quite busy at school, so I don't have time to come over. "
Feng Xiuzhu sighed softly. "It's still the same. I'm only taking on small jobs like sewing trousers and fine buttons. There aren't even many tailoring jobs. I won't starve to death. Anyway, I can't make a fortune."
Mi Xaing 'er smiled faintly. "I'm looking for you today … because of this."
She got up and poured herself a glass of water. After gulping down two mouthfuls, she continued, "I heard from Xiao Tianxin that on the 28th of December, the Provincial Party Committee will have a Lunar New Year party. It's mainly for the leaders to bring their families to the Provincial Party Committee's guest house … Well, it's more like a party!"
"What party?"
"Oh! It's a fraternity party. Everyone will meet, eat, drink, bond, and laugh together. It's not a big deal! "
"Ah!" Feng Xiuzhu blinked twice. "What does that have to do with us?"
"Of course it has to do with us!" Mi Xaing 'er glared at her. "This is called seizing a business opportunity. Look, the people attending the party are all rich and famous madams in the province. If we can make clothes for them and get their approval in the future, we won't have to worry about customers …"
"…"
"When the orders start to increase and the business slowly stabilizes, we'll look at the situation of the policy. If the market is relaxed too much, we'll open a shop … sell clothes that we design and make, and hang our own brand. If the results are good, we'll hire some people and open a small factory to mass produce clothes. Won't the business be good then?"
Feng Xiuzhu shook her head disapprovingly. "Sounds like a good idea. But why would the madams in the province ask me to make clothes? If we can't even do the first step, how can we talk about shops and factories in the future? "
Mi Xaing 'er giggled. "Don't worry about that. Anyway, just listen to me! We'll do it step by step! First, we'll discuss a few styles that will be memorable. Then, we'll firmly hold on to this group of rich madams and strive to be their professional fashion designer! "
Feng Xiuzhu knew that she had always been shrewd and had many ideas in her mind, so she didn't ask any more questions. "Okay then, I'll listen to you."
Mi Xaing 'er turned around and took out a few meters of cloth from her handbag. She spread it on the cutting table and took out a design. "Sister Xiuzhu, take a look at this first! Can you make it? "
Feng Xiuzhu looked at the material first, then lowered her head and touched it with her hand. "This dark green velvet is really beautiful. It's noble and graceful. If it was worn by a girl with especially fair skin, it would be very eye-catching and eye-catching."
Mi Xaing 'er slapped her thigh. "Great minds think alike! I bought this material especially for Tian Xiner. She's fair enough, right? She'll look good in it! "
"For her?"
"Yes! Tong Che is now a leader in the province. When he attends the party, Tian Xiner will also go with him! Tian Xiner can't decide what to wear, so I volunteered to be in charge of designing, tailoring, and styling her clothes. "
Feng Xiuzhu was a little dumbfounded. "I don't understand what you're saying today! What do you mean by styling? "
Mi Xaing 'er waved her hand. "Don't be so picky! In short, I'm going to make clothes for her, help her dress up, and make her prettier! "
Feng Xiuzhu was a little dissatisfied. "Then tell me properly!"
She lowered her head and looked at the design carefully. She rested her chin on one hand and pondered for a long time. "This dress … the design is quite strange! It looks a little like the Soviet Union's' Blachi, 'but it also has the characteristics of China's cheongsam. It doesn't look like anything at all. "
Mi Xaing 'er patted her shoulder. "Sister Xiuzhu, you have a lot of potential. Tell me, does this design look good?"
"It looks pretty good, but isn't it a little too eye-catching? Ordinary women wouldn't dare to wear it! "
Mi Xiang waved her hand. "Tian Xiner isn't an ordinary woman! She's from an ethnic minority, so she doesn't follow the customs of the Han Chinese. As long as she thinks it looks good, she can wear it. I've shown it to her, and she's quite satisfied with it. Moreover, her skin matches this dark green color, so it's simply perfect! I'm confident that once she wears this dress, she'll win the applause of everyone! You'll also become famous as a tailor. "
She pointed at the design and said, "Sister Xiuzhu, at a glance … this dress looks like the Soviet Union's' Blachi, 'but it's actually an improved version of a cheongsam. It's mainly made with China's traditional craftsmanship. Look at this place …"
She explained it to Feng Xiuzhu in detail.
Feng Xiuzhu listened attentively and took a long time to react. "Girl, you really have a lot of ideas. I don't know how your brain works. Anyway, thinking about it carefully, what you said is right … Clothing needs to be innovative. It has to be something different from others to attract everyone's attention."
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "Isn't that right? This is the essence of the clothing business. In the future … work clothes, old military uniforms, Lenin suits, Chinese tunic suits, etc., will slowly fade from the stage of history. Whoever's clothes are new, whose design is fashionable, whose style is eye-catching, will have a market. "
Feng Xiuzhu agreed. "I've also noticed that many women who have come to make trousers recently have said that they don't want to make designs with side doors anymore. They want to make designs with front doors! That's a big change! It means that everyone is starting to pay attention to the aesthetics of the trousers and the comfort of the clothes on the body. They're not just focusing on the lack of patches and wearing warm clothes! "
Feng Xiuzhu was indeed a tailor from the "Shanghai Beach." She was quick to accept new things and had been influenced by her father. She was very sensitive to the touch of clothing.
As long as Mi Xaing 'er gave her some pointers, she would be able to understand … She was indeed a talent with potential in the clothing business.
Mi Xaing 'er patted the fabric gently. "Take a look at this design first. I'll get the Tian Xiner to come over and take the measurements later. Just make it according to this. If there's anything you don't understand, we'll talk more!"
After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Feng Xiuzhu couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? "
"I'm going to look for Ni Dahai! The wives of the Provincial Party Committee … none of them are as familiar as him! "
**
A short while later …
Mi Xaing 'er saw Ni Dahai at the Lakeside Hotel. She looked up … He looked tired and had two "panda" eyes. She couldn't help but be curious. "Oh, insomnia?"
