Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Xia Ru doesn’t really want to have a falling out with Wen Shu. Now, Wen Shu has taken the initiative to give her a way out, and she naturally follows, saying, ‘I knew you loved me, Wen Shu. We should get along well now and not let Xia
Chen come between us.”‘
Wen Shu nodded, agreeing with this.
After their conversation on this side ended, their relationship had also improved.
When they returned to the table again, the waiter had already served two dishes.
Upon seeing how messy Li Jin and the others were eating, Wen Shu couldn’t help but furrow his brow again.
Normally, when Xia Ru ate with him, she didn’t eat so hurriedly.
It felt as if they hadn’t eaten for days.
And while they were eating, there was a constant smacking sound coming from their mouths.
All of this made Wen Shu find it hard to accept.
He couldn’t help but imagine how others would view him if he took Li Jin and his friends out together.
He was glad that Li Jin chose to eat in a private room; otherwise, they would surely be ridiculed in the dining hall, and he couldn’t afford that.
Xia Chen appeared to be silent, but he had been observing the two’s expressions all along. He noticed that Xia Ru and Wen Shu didn’t seem very happy at first.
However, after Wenci returned from the restroom, the two had reverted to their previous relationship.
This also made Xia Chen realize that Xia Ru had a talent for soothing people, at least she could quickly calm Wen Shut s emotions.
On this side, Xia Chen was having dinner, while Xia Wan was diligently listening to the teacher’s lecture.
This class was a Chinese language class, and she had already mastered the content of the class, so her thoughts drifted elsewhere.
Now that Xia Ru had opened a shop similar to hers and was selling clothes just like theirs, if Xia Rut s goal was to ruin their shop, she might not need to come up with new tricks, and her wish might come true.
She had gone to Kyoto over the weekend, and her design proposals had been accepted by the Qingge brand.
According to her estimation, the designs she submitted should be produced by Qingge within a week.
Afterward, they would start selling them.
Her design sketches, when placed in a place like Kyoto, could fetch a high price. The clothes she made there could also be liked by wealthy ladies and young heiresses in Kyoto.
But now, she was in a small county, and even if the clothes she designed were beautiful, the number of customers was limited.
So, to attract customers now, she had to approach it from two angles.
First, she had to design the clothing styles herself and then commission a factory to help with processing. This way, the cost price would be reduced significantly.
Second, the fabrics used for her clothing had to be of high quality, and it was best if they had their own unique features.
This meant that even if other stores wanted to imitate her clothing styles, they would either fall short in terms of quality or the overall clothing would not be as exquisite as hers.
Now it was almost autumn, and everyone was wearing sweaters, autumn pants, and coats.
Sweaters were worn on the inside, and everyone cared more about quality and comfort.
The style of jeans didn’t vary much, so even if she designed something very trendy, it wouldn’t significantly increase sales.
So, the easiest point to focus on was outerwear.
Online shopping hadn’t taken off yet, and even if she opened an online store, she couldn’t achieve online sales. So she still had to manage her physical store well.
For a whole class, Xia Wan pondered how she should proceed.
After this class ended, Xia Chen also returned.
He called Xia Wan out, and the two of them started whispering.
Xia Chen said, “I tried to get some information during the meal, but that guy Wen Shu is very tight-lipped. All I could find out is that he’s from the southern region, but he didn’t tell me the specific city where he sources his goods.”
In her heart, Xia Wan had already made a simple guess.
During this period, sourcing goods usually meant H City.
But from H City to their place and back was quite far, and each sourcing trip would probably take three or four days.
Simply relying on taking the train wouldn’t allow them to carry much merchandise.
So, the most convenient option was to find a nearby factory..”
