【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

"Although you are the first student I teach, I dare say you will be my best student!" Li Shuirong praised.

"Although you are not my first teacher, I dare say you will be the best teacher for me!" Lin Pin'er said, imitating the way he praised herself.

Li Shuirong and Lin Pin'er praised each other seriously, and then burst into laughter.

"I'm not worried about your Chinese. The next thing is other subjects. You also need to study sports, music, and art occasionally."

"Okay, Teacher Li." Lin Pin'er agreed with a smile.

"What did you call me? Why don't you call me husband?" Li Shuirong teased her.

Lin Pin'er's cheeks immediately turned red.

"By the way, I went to that mansion to attend a banquet today, and they all praised the embroidery of the cheongsam I was wearing. It was made by my roommate who used to share a house with me in Jiangdu.

I found that the socialites here often attend banquets and change their dresses frequently, and cheongsam is very popular recently.

I want to discuss with my roommate to see if she is willing to come to Beijing to develop. I want to invest in opening a cheongsam shop for her, specializing in custom-made cheongsams. Do you think my idea is good?"

Li Shuirong pulled her in to his side and looked closely at the cheongsam she was wearing until Lin Pin'er felt shy, then he looked away.

"The embroidery is indeed extraordinary. I also know a lot about clothing. Most cheongsams in Beijing pay attention to the texture of the fabric, but it is rare to see such good embroidery. I think we can give it a try, but we have to do some calculations first. For example, where is the location to choose? How much is the rent? How much is the fabric, thread and labor cost? And what is your price positioning for the product you sell?"

"We have the same idea. I will study it tonight, but I need your help regarding the location and rent of the store."

Li Shuirong was very happy because he was the first person she thought of when she needed help.

"No problem, and I want to be the largest shareholder of your store. Let's make it our first store."

Lin Pin'er was very happy to hear him say that. She also knew that she might not be able to come up with that much money. She would either have to use the student aid fund her mother left for her, or she would have to open a smaller store. Now that Li Shuirong was willing to invest, that would be the best.

"Then let's make it like this for now."

Li Shuirong saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye:

"I'll go back and research the store for you. You call your roommate first. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

"I'll take you there!" Lin Pin'er answered sweetly, then followed him out and watched him get in the car before returning to the house.

After returning, I immediately called Wu Qing:

"Wu Qing. How have you been lately?"

"Pin'er, I'm fine. How about you? Are you happy living in the Jia family?"

"Everything is fine. I have something to discuss with you."

Then Lin Pin'er told Wu Qing her idea and suggested that she could repeat her studies with her after coming to Beijing. Even if she wanted to be a fashion designer in the future, she still needed to study hard.

"I'll think about it, Pin'er." Wu Qing replied to her thoughtfully.

"Okay, I think you will have more opportunities in Beijing than in Jiangdu. The socialite circle here is enough for our small shop to develop. When they saw the cheongsam you made today, they all asked me which master embroidered it. I believe you will become the master they are talking about in the future."

Lin Pin'er's words gave Wu Qing hope and strength.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Pin'er began to think carefully about the details of opening a store, looking up a lot of information, and carefully making some plans and notes. At the same time, she was also looking forward to Wu Qing's reply.

The next morning, Li Shuirong came to Jia's house. He told Lin Pin'er that he had found several suitable store locations last night and had sorted out the rent and other related information.

Lin Pin'er was very happy after hearing this, and the two discussed the decoration style and business strategy of the store. They decided to turn the store into a high-end custom cheongsam store, which would surely attract celebrities in Beijing to come and buy in the future.

A few days later, Wu Qing called and expressed her willingness to come to Beijing to develop. Lin Pin'er was overjoyed and immediately began to arrange for her arrival.

First, she rented a house nearby. She discussed with Li Shuirong yesterday about the storefront. Since she was targeting the socialite circle, she didn't need to choose a storefront facing the street, which would save the rent cost. Finally, she chose a 500-square-meter flat in an office building in the city center. The space itself had simple decoration, and she only needed to modify it according to her own ideas before she could use it.

In terms of decoration, it takes into account both Wu Qing's work area and the display area of ​​cheongsam. A part of the hall is also reserved for the ladies to drink tea and receive guests. The overall decoration style is new Chinese style.

In this way, Lin Pin'er and Li Shuirong began their entrepreneurial journey, and Wu Qing is about to embark on the road to her dreams.

While the shop was being prepared for renovation in full swing, the Jia family's back garden plan was successfully passed by the shareholders' meeting and began rapid construction.

After Jia's mother learned of their investment plan, she ordered Yuanyang to quietly call Lin Pin'er to her bedroom early in the morning:

"I heard that you are going to open a cheongsam shop?" Jia Mu asked, holding her hand.

"Grandma, do you think I'm too young to start a business? I didn't tell you because I was thinking of telling you after things are done." Lin Pin'er looked tentatively, waiting for her elder's affirmation.

Seeing that she acted steadily, Jia's mother smiled and said:

"When I was your age, I could already manage the daily life of a whole family, so I definitely supported you. When you heard everyone's praise that day, you were humble, but you were thinking seriously about opening a store. This shows that you are a child with business acumen, ideas, and plans. I admire this very much. I think you should have made sufficient preparations. And the girl who can embroider, bring her to me one day."

"Okay, I'll let her meet my grandmother when she comes to Beijing. When the store is renovated, I'll take you to see the style of the store and you can give me some suggestions." Lin Pin'er was of course happy to get the affirmation.

Grandmother Jia stood up and walked to a box standing beside the bed, opened it and continued:

"Come here and see what I have prepared for you."

Lin Pin'er walked closer to look at the contents of the box and was stunned: a whole box of antique clothes, neatly placed in the box, there were cheongsams and Chinese clothes, antique tasseled shoulders, wedding dresses with heavy embroidery of a hundred children, and even imperial robes with ranks. Each piece was exquisite, and it could be seen that they were well maintained and collected.

"Grandma, are these prepared for me?" Lin Pin'er asked a little incredulously.

"These are all my collections, and I don't have much chance to wear them now. Look, so many clothes are stored in boxes. Although they are well maintained, they rarely see the light of day. You can take them and put them in the store."

Lin Pin'er looked at Grandmother Jia in disbelief.
