Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 26 Are you going to be a tailor?

Cao Jian returned home in the evening and quickly wrote this song.

Then he continued to write "A Step into the Past" and draw "Young and Dangerous".

Without the influence of women, I have already written nearly half of the novel and I estimate that it will be finished after the Chinese New Year.

November 3rd, Saturday, was another sunny day.

Cao Jian dressed himself up and put on a black suit, looking very formal.

Thirty years later, people who wear suits are either salesmen or insurance agents.

Some people spend thousands of dollars on a suit, but they may only wear it once, at their wedding, and then it gathers dust in the closet.

But now, suits are the must-wear clothes for formal occasions.

As soon as he came downstairs, an old man who was exercising in the community greeted him: "Xiao Cao, you look so handsome, do you want to go on a date?"

"Yeah, go find my girlfriend."

Cao Jian usually gets along very well with the people in the community. He often learns Cantonese and plays chess with them. Everyone also knows that this young man has a beautiful girlfriend.

"not going to work today?"

"asked for leave."

"When you get married, remember to give Auntie some wedding candy."

"no problem."

The friendly old men and women made a few jokes, and Cao Jian arrived at the gate of the community, where a taxi was waiting for him.

In the 1990s, the main taxi models in Guangzhou were Xiali, but there were also Peugeot and Jetta.

This type of vehicle is already at the forefront of the country and is better than taxis in Beijing and Shanghai.

At this time, yellow vans are still the main type of vehicles in Beijing, and there are many older Ladas in Shanghai.

However, taxi fares in Guangzhou are also more expensive than in other cities, with the starting price being 4 yuan for 3 kilometers and 1 yuan for 1 kilometer thereafter.

After get off work yesterday, Cao Jian negotiated with a taxi driver and spent 150 yuan to charter a Peugeot.

Of course, he didn't spend so much money on a date. He had more important things to discuss today.

The driver was listening to "Let Me Love a Dog Once" on the tape recorder in the car.

Cao Jian wants to laugh every time he hears this song.

This is definitely a favorite song for dog lovers.

Last year was a crazy year for the Chinese music scene, and many classic songs came out that year.

In addition to the song "Let Me Love You Enough Once", there are also "Do I Really Have Nothing", "As Long as You Live Better Than Me", "Thousands of Songs", "Jerusalem Girl", "When I Wake Up from a Dream" and so on.

It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.

But in the mainland, apart from "As Long as Everyone Gives a Little Love", which has become a must-play song for public welfare, and Liu Huan's "Crescent Moon", pop music is still lagging behind.

Fortunately, I came here by myself.

Even a butterfly flaps its wings, not knowing what the future will hold.

When the taxi arrived at where Yang Yuying lived, we saw her standing on the roadside under an old banyan tree. She was wearing a yellow sweater and white flared pants, looking like a white orchid about to bloom.

"Honey, get in the car."

"Yelling again!"

After getting in the car, Yang Yuying complained, but she immediately put her arm around Cao Jian and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Sell you."

"I'm worthless."

Yang Yuying didn't believe that her boyfriend was willing to sell her out, but she soon found that the taxi quickly drove out of the city and headed towards the suburbs.

"We're really getting off track. What on earth are we supposed to do?"

Yang Yuying was confused. What was her boyfriend doing in the suburbs?
"I said, sell you."

"Really willing to give up?"

"Is there anything you can't bear to part with?"

"To whom?"

"Will you sell it to me?"

"I don't want to!"

"That's not up to you!"

……

Although there is no such thing as dog food nowadays, the driver grinned when he heard the young man and woman flirting in the back seat.

Not to mention the girl's voice, which made his blood sugar soar, Yang Yuying's appearance made him unable to help but take a peek at her several times.

"This handsome guy is so lucky to have found such a beautiful girlfriend."

The driver felt a lemon in his heart, and even with the car windows open, it couldn't be dispelled.

The two young men and women in the car joked around for a while, and Cao Jian asked, "How was the recording of the song you and Mao Ning did?"

"It's still not good. It doesn't feel right."

"Oh, take your time."

Cao Jian could understand that a duet of love songs would not work if it didn't convey emotion. She and Mao weren't close, so it would be strange if she could sing with emotion.

Yang Yuying asked, "Have you finished writing our duet song?"

"It's written."

"show me."

"It's a secret. I won't show it to you yet."

"Will you show me?"

Yang Yuying saw the briefcase where Cao Jian put it and snatched it away.

But after opening it, I found that there were no songs, only some clothing designs.

In addition to the dress I bought last time, there are also skirts, jeans, shirts, pants, and even windbreakers. Although there are no sizes marked, the styles are all new to me.

I've never even seen the lace on the collar of a shirt.

But they all look great.

Is my boyfriend planning to be a tailor?
"You drew all of them? Why are they so beautiful?"

Yang Yuying looked through the different clothing styles and asked in surprise, "Are they all designed for me?"

Cao Jian smiled and said, "Of course, today you are going to make clothes for me."

These are all popular styles in the early 21st century. It would be strange if they didn’t look good.

"I don't know how much is in your head. This dress is so beautiful?"

If this dress is made, it will definitely be unique in the country.

It would be great if you could make clothes for me. Why come to the suburbs? Can't you make clothes in the city?
Although the urban area of ​​Yangcheng is developing rapidly, the suburbs are still very dilapidated and the roads are bumpy.

It took nearly an hour for the taxi to arrive in Panyu. Although it is still a bit backward, there are many factories here.

The car arrived at an industrial area, and more and more men and women came south to work.

The economy of the South was created bit by bit by these people who left their homes.

Cao Jian saw a relatively new factory through the car window and said to the driver, "Let's go with this one."

The car stopped and Cao Jian got out. He saw that the factory was not big and seemed to have been established this year. There was a sign hanging at the door.

Chengyu Garment Factory

There are many garment factories in Panyu, and they all do good business, so it is easier to negotiate with new factories.

"Shall we find a garment factory to make clothes?"

Yang Yuying followed him, but still didn't understand her boyfriend's purpose.

"Of course I make clothes."

Cao Jian opened his briefcase and took out a dress, a shirt, and some pants for the music video. He said, "When you go in, just pretend you're the boss of a clothing design company. I'll be your assistant. If you want custom-made items, start with 3,000 pieces per style. Ask them for a quote and make samples."

"I'm pretending to be the boss? Three thousand pieces? Isn't that a bit much?"

Yang Yuying seemed to understand what Cao Jian meant.

Are you planning to make some clothes and then sell them?
Why not just sing? Why buy clothes?

Although reform and opening up have been going on for many years, some people's consciousness has not been completely opened up. They think that buying clothes is not as promising as singing.
I don't understand the star effect either.

"Three thousand pieces isn't too many. If it's my opinion, ten thousand pieces wouldn't be too many either."

Cao Jian no longer hid the secret from his girlfriend: "As long as your album sells well and you become a star, I'm worried that these clothes won't be enough."

"Celebrity? Selling clothes?"

Although Yang Yuying had never done business before, Cao Jian's words seemed to open a new door for her.

Yes, I am singing in these three pieces of clothing, so why should I worry that the clothes won’t sell?
How come my boyfriend is so awesome? Why is he so awesome?
Cao Jian said: "Do you understand?"

"understood."

After the two of them had discussed it, Yang Yuying held her head high and chest puffed out, looking like a strong woman, and walked into the gate of the garment factory with Cao Jian.

"This girl has some acting skills."

Cao Jian followed behind him and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Seeing that the visitor was a very beautiful woman, the owner of the factory personally received Yang Yuying.

Cao Jian became a little follower who carried bags, after all, the clothes he had to make were all women's wear.

The owner of this garment factory is surnamed Li. He has a sleek hairstyle that is so slicked back that it can stave off lice, but this hairstyle is currently the most popular.

"Miss Yang, what kind of clothes do you want to make?"

No matter what era or time, girls with good looks always have advantages. When the boss heard that this beautiful girl wanted to order a batch of clothes, he was very attentive.

"These are three new styles of clothing designed by our company."

Yang Yuying said this and pushed the design drawing to Boss Li.

"These clothes are very well designed."

Boss Li just thought the woman had a nice voice before, but now when he saw the three clothing design drawings, his eyes immediately lit up.

If you are beautiful, wouldn’t you look even more beautiful with these clothes?
