Quick Transmigration: The Villainess is Delicate and Soft: Ch 50, The 80's Young Widow Reform for the Better Gao Zhi Qian went to Nan Fei Yu once in private, where he blushed and told her to wait for him before hurriedly leaving the village to return to the army. In Bian Tang Village, from who knows where, gossip between Gao Zhi Qian and Nan Fei Yu was spread. People say the two had an unclear relationship. When the Ling family heard this, they became anxious and retorted back whenever they heard the villagers gossip. Nan Fei Yu was rather calm. Anyhow, she didn't stay often in the village and Gao Zhi Qian also left the village, so she let them be. A few days later, Nan Fei Yu sent Cheng Dong Yu back to school as well as reminding him several times to pay attention to his safety. She was just afraid Zhong Mou would cook up another plan while she was unaware. When she was walking on the street, she found that the clothes of the young men and women in the town had begun to change. It was no longer dull colors. After Sister Zhang’s clothing store sold out, other people in the town saw the business opportunity and opened their own clothing stores. They would buy what Sister Zhang sold and sell at lower prices than hers. In this way, the number of customers in Sister Zhang's clothing store naturally decreased. Once Zhang Jie learned Nan Fei Yu was about to open a factory, she rushed to invest. Like this, the capital became more abundant. Nan Fei Yu intends to create her own brand, so she was able to use Sister Zhang’s storefront. Thus, she didn't need to spend time looking for one. Fourth Brother Ling bought thirty sewing machines from the garment factory that had closed down before at half the price. Those, he transported over in a truck. As for the tailors, they were almost all hired from Ruo Shui Town. Since Mother Ling and Third Sister-in-law Ling, as well as the two sisters-in-laws from Lin Yang's family, all know how to make clothes, Fourth Brother Ling brought them over. As the saying goes, don’t let one’s fertile water flow in another's field. Fourth Brother Ling and Lin Yang had worked in the garment factory before, so they were familiar with the operation of a factory. Therefore, Nan Fei Yu directly handed over the factory to them for management. Sister Zhang's husband, who ran long-distance transportation two years ago, was also called in by her to help. All Nan Fei Yu had to worry about was to design the clothes. Once she drew a rough outline, she had Sister Zhang make a prototype and then give it to the workers in the factory to mass-produce according to the appearance. Sister Zhang's clothing store was renovated. Above the store door hung an S-shaped logo along with the name of the brand, "Su Shang". Previously, Nan Fei Yu asked Sister Zhang to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register the trademark. Lin Yang looked at the information and felt a little ashamed. She, a college student, didn’t even have this kind of awareness. While Young Sister Ling, a person who only went through junior high, thought of this? From then on, Lin Yang glanced at Nan Fei Yu differently. Her previous anxiety had been completely dispelled. At the end of October, the clothing store reopened. The first batch of nearly two thousand summer clothes shipped out was basically to cater to the tastes of young men and women in Ruo Shui Town. It was either too progressive nor too conservative. On the first day of "Su Shang", the door was filled with gongs and drums along with several plastic models displaying in the window. Nan Fei Yu publicized that all clothes brought that day were twenty percent off and those who brought three or more pieces of clothing could have their pictures taken. This gimmick attracted many people. The shop is spacious and bright, divided into two areas for men and women. The air filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, with light music playing from the corner, giving people a great sensory experience. In the center of the store, there was a small album on top of a table, which guests could flip at will. Before the clothes were put on the shelves, Nan Fei Yu tried on all the clothes as a model and shot photos into a photo album for reference. Different collocations could produce different styles. After one found a certain top, they could even choose the bottoms to match according to their own preferences. Moreover, if you bought a set, there was even a small discount. The two salespersons in the store were chosen by Nan Fei Yu. They were both young women with a sharp vision. Beautiful and silver-tongued, they could also help customers match outfits. In the corner, Nan Fei Yu held a camera in her hand, helping people take pictures. This camera was brought to her by someone Gao Zhi Qian entrusted, because she had inadvertently said she wanted one before. She was pretty touched. This camera costs at least two to three hundred. Should she ship some clothes for him? As Nan Fei Yu just took a group photo of a young couple, a gentle male voice sounded. "Zhi'er!" When she glanced up, she saw Zhong Mou coming in her direction. This month he came here quite a few times as if he had forgotten that she had thrown him out of the Cheng house before. Although she had a cold attitude towards him, when he looked at her, there was always tenderness in his eyes. This made others think the two were really a couple. Nan Fei Yu thought of her additional task, but didn't soften her expression. "Zhi'er, are you busy? Do you need me to help you? I have also learned from others before how to take photos." Zhong Mou looked at the camera in her hand and smiled. Indeed, Nan Fei Yu’s usage wasn’t smooth. She followed the instructions, but after all, she had never used film. So she was a little afraid of capturing too much light. When she nodded, a flash of joy flashed in Zhong Mou's eyes. He thought he had finally moved her. "Zhi'er, are you mainly responsible for being a model and taking pictures for others? You probably don’t earn too much a month, do you?" He asked tentatively. He had known about her working here before. Only he thought her being a model was too embarrassing. Plus, she was also too cruel to him last time when he had his family come propose marriage, but she actually let that little devil come forward to refuse. He resented her in his heart for that along with that little devil. Last time he incited a human trafficker to teach the little devil a lesson, though he didn’t expect him to escape. For this reason, he was terrified for a few days, fearing the trafficker would be caught and turn him in. Every time he heard the girls inside the university talk about the clothes in this store and her, he couldn't help but sneak to see her. No matter what clothes she wore, she always looked unexpectedly beautiful. It's no wonder there were even old-fashioned male students in the class who suddenly changed into new clothes. In which when they mentioned the beautiful women who picked the clothes for themselves, they kept blushing. "Before it was twenty yuan a month, now Sister Zhang doesn't pay me a salary." How can Nan Fei Yu understand what he meant? However, she was right. Now she and Sister Zhang are in a cooperative relationship. She was responsible for the promotion of the store, while Sister Zhang was responsible for the management. Thus, there was no giving her a salary. Hearing this, Zhang Mou became angry: "What? She doesn't pay you a salary?" He set the camera to the side and tried to drag her out, "Then why waste time here, let's go!" He thought she had at least thirty or forty yuan, but she wasn't even getting paid. Then, wasn't she seen here by others for nothing? Nan Fei Yu shook off his hand and took back the camera. She hadn't actually expected him to teach herself to use this camera. She said coldly, "I think it's pretty good. I can learn a lot here." Previously she thought this world was boring, but now she feels like she could still try something new. "Zhi'er, how come you became like this? You just like to let all the men lustfully stare at you with squinting eyes that much?" Zhong Mou yelled at her, alarming even the guests next to him. Nan Fei Yu furrowed her brow as she bit her words coldly: "Zhong Mou, you can scram now." Zhong Mou stared at her indifferent expression, which caused his chest to heave up and down in anger. Then he left abruptly! From beginning to end, Nan Fei Yu never looked at him properly. As Zhong Mou went out of the shop, he heard the excited whispers of two young men next to him. "I just found out, her name is Zhi'er and the lady boss said she doesn’t have a partner yet…" "Why, you actually want to court her?" "I want ah. Isn't there the freedom of love now? Tell me how I want to chase her?" "Tsk.. ….how should I know this? How about sending her flowers?" ... After listening to them, Zhong Mou shouted angrily to the two of them: "Ling Zhi'er is a widow, do you want to court her now?" The two men glanced at him in surprise. They dropped one word "psycho" before leaving. Zhong Mou looked back at the men who were constantly squeezing into the store and cursed angrily. Most of the men here were directed at Ling Zhi'er. This woman was really getting more and more loose. However, it is undeniable that his heart had her in it. He wanted her more than anyone else. She used to like him and he and she were a couple to begin with. How can she just throw him away? —-- "Su Shang" was popular the first day it opened. After taking stock late at night, Sister Zhang’s eyes reddened in excitement. They sold more than five hundred pieces of clothes in one day alone, and each piece had a profit of at least ten yuan. In just one day, the cost of setting up the factory has been earned back. "Don't be too happy too soon. After a while, the sales in the town will be saturated. We need the factory to start producing clothes for early autumn." Nan Fei Yu fiddled with the camera in her hand. Sister Zhang nodded. This was indeed the case. In another half of a month, the weather will be cold and they still have more than one thousand summer clothes. Moreover, it would have been better if the people of Ruo Shui Town had more purchasing power. However, they were only a small town after all. To make more money, their clothes had to be sold outwards. "By the way, Zhi'er, a few friends heard that I opened a clothing factory and asked if I could help them process clothes. Some also want to wholesale our brand clothes directly from me." Nan Fei Yu smiled, "We have to catch up with the amount of our own brand. Are you sure you can still take orders from others?" Sister Zhang nodded with an understanding expression, "Which is why I’ve already declined." Then Nan Fei Yu said again, "Our brand’s clothes can’t be directly wholesale, but you can ask them if they are willing to sign a contract with us to join our chain store." "Join?" Nan Fei Yu briefly explained a few words and Sister Zhang immediately understood. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Su Shang (素裳): I believe this means petticoat/interior garment, literally meaning plain clothes the freedom of love (恋爱自由): Back then, couples had to be parent-approved or arranged
