Xia Wan, accompanied by Liu Hua, returned to the bookstore.
“Because of yesterday, you didn’t get the books you wanted. Let’s shop properly today, I’ll pay!” Xia Wan said generously, patting her chest.
Liu Hua browsed for a long time and was interested in a few hardcover books. After hesitating for a while, she put them back.
Xia Wan, noticing Liu Hua’s hesitation, picked up those books and put them in Liu Hua’s arms: “That’s it! Let’s go!”
Leaving the bookstore, both were holding several books.
“Today is a great haul!” Liu Hua exclaimed, “But these books cost so much.
When I save enough money, I’ll definitely pay you back!”
Xia Wan waved it off, “This is an investment in your future. Just make good use of them, and that’s enough.”
Liu Hua looked at Xia Wan with gratitude, “I really don’t know what to say.”
Xia Wan laughed, “No need to be so formal with me!”
“Let’s go eat something good, then help out at the shop.”
“By the way, we’ll also pick out some clothes for you.”
Liu Hua, though walking alongside Xia Wan, asked puzzledly, “Why pick clothes for me?”
“I don’t need new clothes!”
Xia Wan didn’t stop, “Our shop has so many new clothes; of course, we need someone to wear them to get more people to know about them!”
“You as a free model, I couldn’t ask for more!”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Liu Hua felt both grateful and sad, “You’ve helped me so much, I really have nothing to repay you with!” Xia Wan frowned impatiently, “Stop talking nonsense!”
‘You wearing our clothes can’t just stick to home and school.
“You need to get out more, let more people see these clothes, understand?”
Xia Wan sounded commanding, but Liu Hua clearly understood her true intention.
Liu Hua took a deep breath and smiled sincerely at Xia Wan, “Okay! I got it!”
“Xia Wan, you’re finally here!” Zhou En emerged from behind racks of clothes, grabbing Xia Wan’s hand.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Wan looked at Zhou En.
“Some people just came, wanting to custom-order some designs from us,” Zhou En said excitedly.
“Custom designs?” Xia Wan frowned slightly, “We’ve taken such orders before, why are you so excited?”
Zhou En gestured wildly, “This time it’s different… it’s…”
“What is it?” Xia Wan found Zhou En’s behavior amusing, “How big is the order that you’re this excited?”
“Military! Military orders, can you believe it!” Zhou En almost screamed.
Xia Wan was stunned, not quite understanding Zhou En’s words.
“The military just sent someone. They want to order a batch of military garments from us, and if possible, they’ll order more later!” Zhou En continued excitedly.
Xia Wan was momentarily dazed. “Military supplies are usually designed and made by factories, why come to a small workshop like ours?”
Zhou En led Xia Wan to a chair, with Liu Hua following, listening to their conversation.
Once seated, Zhou En spoke again, “I was puzzled too, so I asked.
“It turns out the clothes are for a military parade and performance.
“Somehow the military saw our award-winning designs and decided to order from us.
“And they said the order includes both men’s and women’s clothing, with complex requirements.
“Though our shop isn’t big, our designs are exquisite, and we have a cooperating factory. They must have seen these points.” Listening to Zhou En, Xia Wan felt something was off.
“Who came today?” Xia Wan asked.
“They said a colonel responsible for procurement from some military department!” Zhou En said, somewhat in awe.
“It’s my first time seeing such a high-ranking official!”
Xia Wan couldn’t help but laugh.. “Alright, don’t get too starstruck!”
