Chapter 93

Especially the male doctors, they were all eager to take advantage of their proximity.

The girl's surname was Yuan, and her name was Yuan Lanxian. Her name was particularly ethereal, but she was a very straightforward person. She had a decent relationship with Gu Yinxing, but they had only interacted a few times.

Upon seeing Gu Yinxing's dress, Yuan Lanxian's face lit up with amazement. She walked over and said, "Sister Yin Xing, you look absolutely stunning today, outshining everyone else!"

Gu Yinxing smiled, revealing a small dimple at the corner of her lips, "Don't flatter me, there are plenty of pretty girls here today, your denim skirt is quite nice."

"How can they be the same?"

Yuan Lanxian shook her head, looking Gu Yinxing up and down. The more she looked at the dress, the more elegant it seemed. "This dress of yours is eye-catching as soon as you come in. It looks different from the dresses sold outside."

Several colleagues, both men and women, gathered around. One of them, Doctor Sun, had a crush on Yuan Lanxian and kept agreeing with her.

Originally, this was just a group of people joking around, but Song Mei happened to be there today. Whether it was because she was jealous of Yuan Lanxian's youth and beauty, or because she was jealous of Doctor Sun's flattery of Yuan Lanxian, Song Mei took a glass of juice and pretended to accidentally spill it on Yuan Lanxian.

Yuan Lanxian's skirt was a denim skirt, so it was very noticeable when it got dirty.

Song Mei feigned surprise and covered her mouth. "Xiao Yuan, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I just tripped. Oh dear, your dress is all dirty. What are we going to do? This ball is so far from our hospital. Where are you going to change?"

Chen Deng Deng and the other female nurses exchanged glances.

We all work at the same hospital, so how could we not know that Song Mei and that Doctor Sun had been flirting before? And Doctor Sun wasn't unaware that Song Mei was married, but some men are just despicable; they find it more exciting to seduce other men's wives.

But as soon as Yuan Lanxian arrived, Doctor Sun immediately fell in love with someone else. Song Mei spoke ill of Yuan Lanxian behind her back countless times. No one expected that Song Mei would now be so bold as to do bad things to her face.

Yuan Lanxian's expression was not good. She was about to lose her temper, but there were people all around, including many from other units. If she made a scene and let other units laugh at their hospital, it would be a loss for them.

"It's okay, I'll go wash up in the restroom, maybe it won't matter."

Just as Yuan Lanxian finished speaking, the hospital director walked over. The old director, who was in his fifties and very refined, frowned when he saw that Yuan Lanxian's dress was dirty. "Little Yuan, what happened to you?"

"Dad, it's nothing serious. Nurse Song just accidentally dirtied my dress. Tell Mom later that I'll go home if the dress isn't clean."

Yuan Lanxian replied without hesitation.

Half of the purpose of this dance was to socialize, but Yuan Lanxian didn't really care about this opportunity.

"Nurse Song?" Director Yuan looked at Song Mei, his brows furrowing slightly. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze made Song Mei's heart skip a beat.

Chen Deng Deng and his colleagues were quite surprised. Yuan Lanxian usually acted very down-to-earth, eating, drinking and dressing no different from her colleagues, and never mentioned her own situation. No one expected that she was actually the dean's daughter.

Chen Deng Deng secretly slapped her forehead. How could she be so confused? Both of them had the surname Yuan!

Looking closer, the father and daughter's eyes are also very similar, but they are almond-shaped eyes.

"Xiao Yuan, I think you shouldn't wash it," Gu Yinxing said. "Your skirt is so wet that it won't dry unless you change it. I brought an extra skirt with me. You're a bit taller than me, so try it on and see if you can wear it. Do you want it?"

Yuan Lanxian was surprised for a moment, then readily agreed.

Director Yuan then said, "Yin Xing, I'm entrusting my daughter to your care. Don't make me nag her mother later."

Gu Yinxing smiled and said, "Dean, don't worry. Xiao Yuan is one of our own in the department, so of course I have to take care of her."

Fortunately, the little black dress was a long dress. When Yuan Lanxian wore it, she gave off a completely different vibe compared to Gu Yinxing. With her hair in a high ponytail, the black dress accentuated her figure, making her look both heroic and charming.

You don't know until you compare; once you do, you're shocked.

Yuan Lanxian's denim skirt wasn't exactly cheap either, but it still looked inferior. She twirled around in front of the mirror, still finding it hard to believe, "Is that really me?"

"She's such a clothes hanger, she looks good in everything."

Gu Yinxing took out a bee Pearl brooch from her handbag and put it on Yuan Lanxian. This small embellishment added a touch of playfulness and liveliness to the elegant and dignified dress.

Yuan Lanxian had been feeling a bit annoyed, but now, looking at herself in the mirror, the smile on her face hadn't faded.

When she and Gu Yinxing came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

These days, skirts with such unique cuts are still rare in China. When two beautiful women dressed like this suddenly appear, both men and women are drawn to their outfits.

Men look at the person, women look at the skirt.

Chen Deng Deng squeezed through the crowd, "Yin Xing, did your sister-in-law make this black dress for you too?"

"Yes, your sister-in-law is so skillful! I was thinking, what's so special about a black dress? But this dress is just different, so... so elegant." The female colleague wanted to say that she looked like an aristocrat, but after thinking about it, she realized that such words were too sensitive, so it was better not to say them.

"You wouldn't know this, but my sister-in-law used to learn how to make clothes from a master tailor. Those masters made clothes exclusively for high-ranking officials and nobles," Gu Yinxing knew the importance of exaggeration, so she sang Liang Ying's craftsmanship to the skies, mentioning unique cuts and specially selected fabrics. In short, this dress looked ordinary, but it was actually extraordinary.

Actually, even without her saying anything, they could tell it was extraordinary just by looking at the material.

The quality of the clothes is easy to tell with the naked eye; good is good, and bad is bad. Take Gu Yinxing's green silk dress, for example. The dress is very simple, but under the light, it looks like a flowing spring, making her look like a beautiful night-blooming cereus in the mountains. The satin flower tied on her wrist makes her fingers look slender and jade-like.

Women were all smitten.

Gu Yinxing took the opportunity to promote her sister-in-law's business.

So, in just one night, Gu Yinxing helped Liang Ying secure orders for more than fifty dresses. The next day, Yuan Lanxian even called to say that her girlfriends had seen her dresses and wanted to buy them too.

When Liang Ying and Gu Jinshui returned home, they had already received over a hundred orders.

When Gu Yinxing heard that she was back, she rushed over. It was fortunate that the two families lived close by, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to keep running back and forth like that.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back! Look at these orders, they're all from other companies," Gu Yinxing asked. "I've already told them the prices, the prices you mentioned on the phone."

Liang Ying didn't even have time to put down her backpack before grabbing the notebook from Gu Yinxing's hand. She flipped it open and was stunned. "How come there are still so many? These dresses cost 100 each, are so many people willing to buy them?"

Gu Yinxing couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Sister-in-law, you often make your own clothes, so you don't know the market prices. Clothes outside aren't cheap these days. Take these shorts I'm wearing, for example. They cost thirty-five yuan at a street stall. Your skirt is so well-made and has such a unique style. You said it was one hundred yuan a pair. Some people even ordered ten pairs at once. I guess they were buying them for others."

Liang Ying really didn't know anything about the clothing market.

She opened her mouth, somewhat shocked.

Gu Yinxing took out a wad of cash from her handbag. "This is all the deposit they gave me. I've paid half of it upfront. Oh, and some people asked if we have larger sizes."

Gu Yousi listened in complete silence.

Her aunt's business practices are too frivolous. She hasn't set sizes or measured heights, yet so many people are placing orders.

This was simply unbelievable to Gu Yousi.

But it was precisely because of this frivolous beginning that Liang Ying's business started.

With a responsible spirit, she measured each person's body and height for over a hundred dresses, producing one dress at a time. Where can you find such service nowadays?

People used to make their own clothes at home, but in recent years it has become popular to buy clothes from department stores. Department stores have a wide variety of styles, but there is one drawback: they are not easy to fit properly. Either the shoulders are too broad or the skirt is too long, so you always have to alter them yourself.

But when buying clothes from Liang Ying, that's different; each person gets their own size.

The resulting dresses are both flattering and comfortable, and most importantly, they look unique.

Gu Jinshui thought that his wife had finally resigned from her job, and he wanted her to rest for a few months before slowly considering starting a business.

But seeing his wife making clothes day and night, Gu Jinshui felt sorry for her. He picked up a piece of roast chicken and put it in Liang Ying's bowl. "Wife, we're not short of money. Don't work so hard."

Gu Yousi, unusually agreeing with Gu Jinshui, nodded. "Mom, these orders are piling up. You can't do it this way. I think you need to hire someone." (This work is provided online by SiTu. com)

"Hire someone? Who should we hire?" Liang Ying asked seriously after a moment's hesitation.

Gu Yousi said, "Aunt Guan is great. Besides, when she came to our house before, didn't she say that her factory has been doing very poorly lately and often doesn't have workers? We can not only consider hiring Aunt Guan, but also her colleagues. First, they are skilled and can start working without training; second, they all have sewing machines at home, so we don't need to buy any; and third, they can earn some money. Mom, this is a win-win-win situation, why not do it?"

The whole family was stunned by Gu Yousi's business acumen.

Gu Jinshui patted Gu Yousi's hair. "Not bad, my daughter is quite good at business. Just like your father."

Considering the number of comic books he brought back for her from his trip, Gu Yousi didn't slap his hand away. Instead, she asked Liang Ying seriously, "Mom, what do you think?"

Without any hesitation, Liang Ying nodded in agreement.

Since she was going to hire someone, she had to be serious about it. Liang Ying went to get a business license and went through all the procedures before going to Guan Daya's house to talk about it.

Guan Daya could even speak, her mother-in-law said, "Oh dear, this is wonderful news! Da Ya, if you're not going, I will!"

Liang Ying couldn't help but laugh. She said, "We're still a makeshift team, but I can guarantee monthly pay, and the more you work, the more you earn. Auntie, if you want to come, just come. We're really short-staffed!"

Guan Daya was somewhat flattered, "Really? I can manage too?"

Liang Ying knew her mother-in-law was retired from a garment factory and her skills were superb. "If you come, we'd love to welcome you. Da Ya, what do you say?"

"Okay, but you don't need to settle the money monthly. Just pay me whenever it's convenient." Guan Daya remembered the kindness Gu Jinshui had shown her family years ago, and felt quite embarrassed seeing Liang Ying helping her again.

Liang Ying laughed and said, "That won't do. We don't have that rule. The money that is due must be paid on time. Also, there's something I need your help with. Could you help me find some skilled and decent female workers to help me? We will definitely not shortchange them on their wages."

Guan Daya readily agreed.

The garment factory has only paid half a month's wages for the past few months. Many families are so poor that they can only do odd jobs or make clothes for their neighbors to earn some money for groceries.

When faced with such a good opportunity, how could anyone refuse?

The staff arrived quickly, and the place to make clothes wasn't hard to find either. The Liang Family Old Residence was quite large, so it could be used as an office.

Once the water and electricity were connected, Youyou Clothing Company quietly opened for business.

Because she was overwhelmed with orders, Liang Ying didn't plan on having a grand opening celebration; she simply set off a string of firecrackers as a formality.

Old Master Lan and He Chunlian both sent flower baskets, and Lan Lin and Gu Yousi also used their pocket money to buy one together.

Liang Ying was deeply moved, her eyes welling up with tears.

Gu Yousi had a bad feeling and secretly took a step back, but how could the little sparrow fight against the old thief? Before she could even run away, Liang Ying picked her up and kissed her hard several times.

Several lipstick marks appeared on Gu Yousi's face.

She rubbed her face helplessly, "Mom, you're overreacting. It's just a flower basket, why are you so upset?"

You don't understand
