TVSFPAG -Chapter 33 Buy a House and Then Get Married

The two of them got ready and took the elevator down to the second floor, where a free breakfast was served.

Mr. He, Hu Yao, and the others had already started eating in the restaurant. Seeing the two of them enter, Mr. He raised his hand in greeting.

Hu Yao glanced at them, curled her lips slightly, and continued eating breakfast, stabbing the fried egg on her plate repeatedly with her fork—no one knew whether she was taking out her frustration on the egg or on someone else.

Song Yunfei chose her food, then carried her plate over and greeted Mr. He and the others.

Mr. He responded warmly with a smile and even made a few jokes.

Previously, Mr. He hadn’t been this friendly toward her. It was only after learning about Chu Jinhan’s capabilities that his attitude toward Song Yunfei changed so dramatically.

Otherwise, just her showing up here wouldn’t have made him happy at all.

“You two really have a relationship that makes people envious,” He Qiang said as well. “When are you planning to get married?”

He Qiang wasn’t truly envious; he felt a bit sympathetic toward Chu Jinhan, but more than that, he admired him.

If he put himself in Chu Jinhan’s position, with a girlfriend like that, he definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it as calmly. Chu Jinhan’s ability to withstand pressure was truly strong.

That question made both Chu Jinhan and Song Yunfei pause.

Even Hu Yao looked at them curiously, a hint of schadenfreude on her face. “Yeah, when are you getting married? We’re still waiting to drink the wedding wine.”

Song Yunfei forced a smile. “Soon, soon. We just haven’t made enough money yet. We’ll get married after we buy a house.”

She had only said it casually as a response, but Chu Jinhan fixed his gaze on her, his eyes burning with intensity. No one knew what he was thinking.

Mr. He nodded in agreement and began lecturing again. “That’s right. Marriage is different from dating—you still need to have your own home. Otherwise, when a poor couple is together, everything becomes difficult, and it’ll just turn into endless troubles.”

Hu Yao seized the opportunity to flatter him. “Seems like Mr. He has some life experience.”

Mr. He smiled. “Of course. I’ve been through it myself.”

As if triggered by that keyword, he started talking about his past again.

He spoke with great nostalgia, looking very inspirational—but in reality, no one was particularly interested in listening.

Only Hu Yao chimed in from time to time, flattering him so much that his smile nearly reached his ears.

Breakfast dragged on for nearly an hour. If they hadn’t been short on time, he probably could have talked for several more hours.

After leaving the hotel, the four of them headed to the exhibition hall.

After registering at the entrance, Song Yunfei followed them inside.

Today, the place looked completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, the exhibition hall had been in a mess, but today it had been completely transformed.

The main hall was brightly lit. Inside the vast space, various booths were neatly arranged, with people coming and going in a lively atmosphere.

The booths near the entrance belonged to several well-known major manufacturers and looked quite luxurious, while Mr. He’s booth appeared somewhat modest by comparison.

After walking for quite a while, they finally reached the booth tucked away in a corner. Mr. He went with Wang Qiang to visit familiar clients, leaving only Song Yunfei, Chu Jinhan, and Hu Yao.

The three of them didn’t speak. They simply opened the large bags and took out the samples to arrange them on display.

Mr. He’s factory was called Xinglong Garment Factory. It was a source manufacturer that handled both original designs and custom production orders.

However, most of their profits came from manufacturing for others.

Looking at their own designed styles, Song Yunfei had to be honest—very few of them looked good.

If they were displayed like this, people wouldn’t even feel like stopping by to take a look.

“The designer Mr. He hired really doesn’t have good taste. How could these attract customers?” Hu Yao remarked.

Hearing this, Hu Yao glanced at her. “What did you major in? How do you know they’re not attractive?”

Song Yunfei replied, “I may not have made clothes, but I’ve bought clothes before, haven’t I? If it were you looking at these, would you wear them yourself?”

Hu Yao was left speechless. She wanted to retort but couldn’t find a suitable point, so she could only pout in frustration. “Easier said than done. Can you even redesign it on the spot?”

Hu Yao basically admitted that these styles were rather ordinary. She definitely wouldn’t wear them herself.

“Even though we can’t change the styles, we can still make some adjustments to make them more eye-catching.”

Song Yunfei didn’t bother arguing further with Hu Yao. She turned to look at Chu Jinhan. “Chu Jinhan, come help me.”

Chu Jinhan nodded and didn’t object.

Although he had entered this industry, he didn’t really understand these things—truly didn’t—since he had never been exposed to them before.

Hu Yao snorted and walked over to sit aside, taking out her phone and not planning to take part in Song Yunfei’s makeover.

Song Yunfei still hoped that Chu Jinhan would receive more orders so he could earn higher commissions.

She rearranged those plain items according to their styles and color schemes.

Since the designs themselves couldn’t be changed, she could still work on the visual presentation to create a strong visual impact.

With proper lighting, an upscale feel would immediately emerge.

In addition, she also used props and mannequins to create several themed displays.

After some arranging and adjustments, the originally unremarkable exhibition area was completely transformed into something lively and high-end.

Hu Yao also noticed it and couldn’t help but glance at Song Yunfei in surprise.

She hadn’t expected this woman to actually know how to coordinate outfits.

Some of the outfit combinations she created were ones Hu Yao had never seen before. Clothes she had previously had no interest in now made her feel like trying them on.

Of course, she wouldn’t praise Song Yunfei. She simply pouted and pretended not to notice.

Indeed, after this transformation, it didn’t take long before someone came in.

It was a short-haired middle-aged woman in her forties. After entering, she began to examine the clothes inside, looking quite interested.

Previously, very few domestic clients would enter the exhibition area, because the domestic market was extremely competitive. Most people would just glance from outside and leave.

Perhaps seeing that Chu Jinhan was handsome, the woman smiled and asked him several questions.

The two exchanged business cards, and then the woman left.

Before leaving, she even complimented them: “Your clothing coordination is quite innovative—it has the feel of international brands. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll consider working with you.”

Chu Jinhan saw her out, though he didn’t show much of a smile when dealing with clients—how could he handle business like that?

This corner originally didn’t see many visitors. After the woman left, only a few sporadic people came by to take a look.

Some even left without leaving a business card.

By midday, fewer than twenty people had visited in total. More than half left their business cards, and only three placed orders.

Moreover, the orders weren’t large—only about a hundred pieces.

Later, Mr. He brought a few people over and secured two fairly good orders.

When noon arrived, Mr. He came back in a huff again.

He waved at Chu Jinhan. “Xiao Chu, come with me quickly!”

Chu Jinhan walked out. “What’s wrong?”

“Let’s go over there. That damn Wang Xinjian keeps stealing my clients every time!” Mr. He (Zhao) said angrily as he strode out. Chu Jinhan followed him, while Wang Qiang stayed behind.

Hu Yao asked curiously, “Brother Wang, what’s going on?”
