Chapter 1970: Gradually Falling in Love
Chapter 1970: Gradually Falling in Love
When her eyes met the smile on Wan Shufang's face and then looked at what she was holding in her hand, Caixia's mind buzzed and her face turned red in an instant.
"It seems that something good is about to happen again." Wan Shufang did not let her go, but continued to tease her with interest. Caixia's ears turned red and she took a deep breath.
She walked in dazedly, put down the cakes, and then took the clothes from Wan Shufang's hand and hid them in the corner: "Madam, I, I just want to make a piece of clothing to thank Mr. Mozhu. He has saved my life several times."
Hearing this, and seeing that she looked almost ripe, Wan Shufang finally stopped teasing and just smiled: "After all, you are my apprentice. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
"Ma'am, stop talking."
Caixia replied in a muffled voice, took her hand, and led her to the table: "Eat the cakes quickly, I will make dinner later."
"Okay, okay." Wan Shufang felt helpless. Knowing that Caixia was thin-skinned, she finally let her go and ate the cakes peacefully.
At night, Wan Shufang personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Caixia. After having dinner with Caixia, the two sat in the small courtyard to enjoy the moon.
Caixia, on the other hand, was holding a clothing pattern in her hand and looked very worried.
"What's wrong?" Wan Shufang asked softly, her eyes falling on her patterns, as if she had guessed something. Sure enough, the next second, she heard Caixia sigh.
"It's Girls' Day soon, and the clothes in the shop are too ordinary. I'm afraid I won't be able to stand out and make a name for myself."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang looked at the patterns on the clothes and said calmly: "Perhaps, you can integrate nature, the moon, stars, flowers and grass can all be used as embellishments."
Hearing this, Caixia looked a little confused, but still listened to Wan Shufang, looked up and observed her surroundings. As Wan Shufang spoke, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind and had a direction.
"Ma'am, I understand!"
Caixia smiled and while gesturing, she looked at Wan Shufang's expression. Seeing that she was satisfied, Caixia became even happier.
The two of them studied for half the night and finally designed the pattern and prepared to make the clothes, ready to work on them on the upcoming Girls' Day.
After putting away the patterns, Caixia was so excited that her hair was soaked with sweat. Her eyes were bright as she looked at Wan Shufang with hope: "Madam, when I open the shop, I will support the charity hall and help you to maintain its expenses."
After hearing this, Wan Shufang was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, in her eyes, Caixia was just a little girl. Even if she took back the Chen family's property, she still had a long way to go and would need money in many places. She didn't need to take advantage of a little girl.
But when she saw her determined eyes, Wan Shufang didn't say no after all.
Well, she has to leave eventually. After she leaves, the charity will indeed lack a stable flow of funds.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang reached out her hand, tidied up the little girl's hair, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, whatever you say, but I don't want to take advantage of you, so how about this, I will help you design the pattern, which is considered an investment."
"After we leave, you can take 10% of the profits and use it to maintain the charity hall's expenses."
"No problem!" Caixia agreed immediately. Not to mention 10%, considering Wan Shufang's care for her, she deserved an additional 20% of the profit.
Seeing the smile on the little girl's face that came from the heart, Wan Shufang couldn't help laughing as well. As the night breeze blew, the two rubbed their arms and went into the house to rest.
late at night.
Lying in bed, Wan Shufang couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned, and was very worried about Chen Changli.
Just then, An Yi knocked on the door and handed Wan Shufang the letter written by Chen Changli. She couldn't wait to open the letter, and looking at the familiar handwriting on it, she finally felt relieved.
"Shufang, I am writing to you. I am doing fine."
"As long as he's safe, I can rest assured." Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief, burned the letter, and climbed back into bed. This time, knowing that Chen Changli was safe, she fell asleep peacefully.
In the following days, Wan Shufang and Caixia were busy studying clothing patterns and stayed indoors, unaware that Chu Yaozu had come several times again.
At the same time, in the neighboring county government office.
Chu Yaozu looked at his subordinate who had come back from outside, his eyes suddenly lit up: "How is it, have you found out?"
"We've found out, sir. That young lady runs a clothing store..." The subordinate lowered his voice and told Chu Yaozu everything he had found out in the past few days.
The more he listened, the more excited Chu Yaozu became. Ever since he came back that day, he had been thinking about Caixia day and night. Now, he finally found out some clues!
"Let's go now." Chu Yaozu took two steps forward and stopped again: "No, no, no, I can't go."
"Go and find someone she didn't meet last time, and tell her you want to discuss a business deal with her."
Chu Yaozu moved closer to his subordinates and whispered instructions with a gleam in his eyes. After they left, he couldn't help laughing when he thought about what he was about to do.
"Hahaha, little Mei Niang, let's see where you can hide this time."
At this time, in Guiyun Town, Caixia was busy in the shop, unaware that danger was approaching.
She moved the beads, carefully calculating today's business. Suddenly, a shadow fell on her head. Caixia looked up with a smile on her face.
"Hello, sir. What would you like to see?"
"Boss, I'm from the neighboring county, and I'm also in the fabric business. I want to discuss a business deal with you. Is it convenient for you?"
Hearing this, Caixia looked at the man warily. Seeing that he looked normal and indeed like a businessman, she continued, "Of course, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?"
"This... this deal is quite big, so I want my master to discuss it with you personally."
"Then where is your master?" Caixia was a little confused and looked behind him, but saw no one else.
"The master is in the other courtyard, not far from here."
Hearing about the other courtyard, Caixia's face turned cold, and she obviously realized something, but she didn't say anything. Seeing Caixia suddenly quiet down, the man also realized something and immediately explained: "Young lady, my master is unable to move, so he can't come over."
"The deal is done, but there's this amount." The man held up five fingers to her and lowered his voice: "Five thousand taels!"
Hearing this, Caixia's expression changed. Five thousand taels. She had never seen such a big business in all her time running the clothing shop.
If she had five thousand taels, she could give Wan Shufang a dividend in advance and help the charity hall...
Caixia was hesitant and confused, and finally when she saw the man was about to leave, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you to talk."
"Do you need me to bring anything?"
"Just take whatever you think is necessary." The man smiled and stood aside waiting for Caixia. Soon, Caixia packed up her things and followed him out of the shop.
