Mu Yichen stood by, watching her sew with concern but did not approach to disturb her.
"The clothing factory said they want to switch to new machines and won’t cooperate with us anymore."
Qin Mu spoke softly; by now, all her temper had turned into motivation, her eyes intently focused on the work in her hands.
Mu Yichen watched her leaning to one side, wondering if she was tired; just looking at her made him feel exhausted.
So he did not disturb her work and simply took his phone and went out.
Qin Mu turned her head and saw him heading toward the bedroom, so she didn’t bother with him and concentrated on continuing to make a wedding dress for Helian Hao.
In fact, this was not an issue for them; they had done more urgent orders before. They only found it strange because this time the sudden complication seemed a bit odd.
After making the call, Mu Yichen stood in the bedroom for a while, then phoned the hotel: "Prepare dinner for fifteen people to be delivered to my wife’s studio."
Xiaomei was recording everyone’s dinner order when suddenly a black business car stopped at the entrance of the studio.
Several people dressed as hotel waitstaff got down from the car, led by the manager of the hotel restaurant. Xiaomei, holding her notebook, walked toward the door: "Why are you here?"
"Mr. Mu called the restaurant to prepare dinner for you."
A line of handsome young men were carrying food boxes into their studio. Xiaomei guessed these boys were all under thirty years old, and each one was over one meter eighty tall, with figures that were as good as models.
Suddenly, everyone in the studio stopped their work, all sorts of awkward positions on display, but their eyes were intently fixed on the newcomers.
"Xiaomei girl, where should we put this?"
"Oh, over there, the reception area!"
Xiaomei snapped to her senses and immediately led them over.
As Qin Mu worked, Mu Yichen sat on the sofa, checking his emails on his phone while waiting for her. Soon Xiaomei came up with a food box, knocking on the door.
The door was already open, so Xiaomei just stood there, knocking a few times. When someone looked at her, she giggled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Mu for treating us to dinner. The restaurant’s manager has already delivered the food. Do you two want to eat upstairs, or join us?"
Qin Mu glanced at the door, seeing Xiaomei with a food box, winking at her.
He who receives a favor should not forget it...
After a while, it’s no longer something to dwell on.
The couple did not go downstairs to eat with them. After Qin Mu went to wash her hands and returned, Mu Yichen had already taken out the food and set it up on the table and even served her rice.
"I just called to inquire; the clothing factory did not replace their machines."
Qin Mu had just had a bowl of soup when she heard this and immediately looked up at him, losing her appetite for anything else.
"Did the head of their clothing factory tell you that?"
She asked in a low voice, putting down her bowl.
Mu Yichen looked at her puzzled expression, subconsciously wanting to help her with something.
"So—they just don’t want to cooperate with me, right?"
Qin Mu suddenly laughed, if they didn’t want to cooperate, why find so many lousy excuses?
Qin Mu thought of the manager’s hesitant expression that morning and instantly felt unhappy.
"I’m going to start my own clothing factory."
Qin Mu suddenly declared, and immediately started eating her rice again.
One needs to be full of energy to work.
"That’s actually not a bad idea!"
"I want to open my first clothing factory in Rongcheng, and then I’ll open a second and a third one."
She was energized, as if pumped up by the inexplicable kick.
"Yeah, and after that open your own brand stores. In a few years, Mrs. Mu could well be Boss Qin. But surely I won’t have to queue for a meal?"
Why suddenly shower her with compliments?
How much capital was required to do all this?
Besides, while investing capital, finding locations was even more challenging.
A clothing factory just needed a spacious place in the suburbs. She suddenly looked up at him: "Aren’t you in real estate? Do you develop factory buildings?"
"Yes! But you’ll have to bribe me!"
"You know how much money I lost because you pushed away my micro-movie? And you dare ask for a bribe from me!"
Qin Mu put down her cutlery, shook her head, and sighed, realizing that once she asked for his help, he would, but didn’t forget to remind him of that important matter before going back to work.
Later, she knelt on the ground, sewing pearl after pearl. She sewed for most of the evening, and he sat on the sofa reading emails. When he finished reading emails, he just lay down on the sofa.
Later, after watching her sewing back and forth for a long time, he unconsciously fell asleep.
Qin Mu found a blanket to cover him, and looking at his sleeping figure, she couldn’t resist giving him a kiss on the forehead.
Some things are really hard to express.
Now that he was staying up with her, she felt not just grateful but purely happy.
The next day, Jing Qing left Rongcheng. Since the filming location for the movie and the micro-movie was next door, she managed to do both without delay. However, this time, she felt utterly humiliated by the micro-movie.
Her assistant immediately reported to her after making a call while she was sipping coffee with an expressionless face, watching the supporting actors playing their scenes: "Sister Qing, I heard that their studio lights were on all night yesterday. If they delay the orders they signed a while back at the end of the month, we can all go ask her for the goods, and that’ll be quite a show."
"Hmph! We’ll see her fate then!"
Jing Qing took a sip of coffee, sneered and laughed, plotting in her deep gaze.
She had quietly placed an order at Qin Mu’s studio before, despite paying in full and not bothering her in the meantime. She directly gave the design drafts to the clothing factory for processing. From the beginning, the factory didn’t do the work for her, and then they sought to break the contract at month’s end.
Jing Qing felt she was finally about to gain the upper hand and unconsciously narrowed her eyes and laughed again.
