    Yang Yun smiled and leaned obediently on her mother’s shoulder, her parents couldn’t see her clenched fist.

    Sun Chan was unaware of this matter and, of course, didn’t care. She was entirely focused on the exam.

    On thest day of exams, there were no distractions, and she did quite well. Since it was thest day, Sun Chan could say she gave it her all.

    Gu Junming had been waiting at the school gate all along. When he saw hering out, he smiled and asked, "How did it go?"

    Sun Chan nodded vigorously, "I did well."

    "Really? What if you don’t pass? Retake next year?" Gu Junming was also very pleased.

    "Then let it be. I gave it my best this time, if I don’t pass this year, I won’t have any regrets. Even if I retake it, I can’t do better than now." Sun Chan felt relieved and kicked a small pebble on the roadside.

    Gu Junmingughed, "You’ve got an open mind. Just like that."

    He also thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal if Sun Chan didn’t pass; as long as she gave her best, there would be no regrets or remorse.

    "Hmm. Next, I need to get back to making clothes. I’ve dyed it for several days. I wonder if Han Dong is anxious or not?"

    Han Dong was, of course, anxious. He didn’t dare disturb her during her exams, but he was already at her ce by the time Sun Chan got home.

    As soon as he saw Sun Chan enter, Han Dong hurried over, "My great designer, hurry up! Design some outfits for me, I’m waiting for them!"

    In the sweltering heat, he was still wearing a suit, sweat dripping from his forehead—he must have just arrived. Wang Shufen poured him a cup of tea.

    Han Dong gulped it down in big sips and then continued to say to Sun Chan, "Speed up, hurry, time is tight."

    "Sun Chan just finished her exams and is exhausted, do it for you tomorrow." He pushed Han Dong aside.

    But Han Dong was relentless; he said, "Can’t you just do a good deed for me? I’m in a tough spot too! They’re pressing me hard! I need clothing samples, without your outfits, I can’t proceed."

    "Who on earth is it?" Sun Chan asked curiously, "Your factory isn’t even officially established, and you’re talking about mass production?"

    "Yes, it’s a gig I lined up for you! Do you remember the dresses you made before? A customer from the South wanted them, said they wanted to produce them in bulk for export. Plus, they want at least five styles; you need to draw about a dozen and then choose five from them. The more, the merrier! Those they don’t take, if we like them, we can make them ourselves. This is absolutely positive, your opportunity," Han Dong said with a smile.

    Sun Chan was stunned; this news was simply too shocking and incredible! Foreigners wanted her clothes?

    "What on earth is going on?" she asked with a trembling voice.

    "Don’t be nervous, foreigners aren’t some kind of monster! I took your clothes to a fashion trade show, introduced by that customer, and entered apetition. It won second ce; who knew the foreigners weren’t interested in the first prize but liked yours instead. They said they wanted your clothing styles to be made overseas. And it was a major clothing brand," Han Dong exined, then paused and smiled at Sun Chan for a long time. Realizing she was in shock, he felt very pleased and continued, "Actually, that customer from the South tried to be sneaky, didn’t tell me, and secretly gave the foreigners some samples. But the boss rejected them all! He had no choice and came to me, unwilling to share the profits with us. But you need to have the brains too! If you can’t design any clothes and still want to hog everything, humph! Just look at the kind of person you are," Han Dongughed.

    Wang Shufen was also delighted, "The South has always led the fashion trends, and this time we’ve seized the opportunity in the North."

    This wasn’t surprising, after all, Sun Chan had lived an extra lifetime. Her clothing designs didn’t follow the current domestic trends, like oversized shoulder pads and patchwork, which had been popr abroad sixty years ago.

    So, the fashion designer the Southern merchant sought couldn’t design the styles needed abroad.

    Sun Chan was designing fresh styles seen in movies and TV shows before she died, naturally more popr than the Southern styles.

    Hearing this news, Sun Chan was first dazed, then filled with immense joy. Could it really be this wonderful? Such good fortune!

    Foreign merchants had taken a liking to her clothes. That was recognition of her ability! She was extremely happy.

    At this time, Han Dong took out several stacks of bills and ced them on the table with a thump, startling everyone present.

    "So much money?"

    All fifty-yuan notes, adding up to about eight to ten thousand yuan. Wang Shufen was stunned. At that time, a formal employee only earned a bit over a hundred yuan a month. Sun Chan just needed to draw designs and produce samples to earn such an amount! Ten years’ worth of their sry!

    Sun Chan looked at Han Dong, "What is this..."

    "This is two portions of money, one is the design fee from the foreigners, three thousand yuan. The remaining five thousand is from the Southern boss as your design fee. Once the foreigner finalizes the clothing styles, you need to design some new styles for us. I have already received the deposit, hence I’m in a rush! One week, and it needs to be done."

    Gu Junming was a bit worried, "Is designing clothes something that can be rushed? What if she gets sick from being pushed too hard?"

    "I know you’re concerned about her, but spare a thought for me too! I signed the contract, and if the designs aren’t ready, I’ll have to pay double the penalty!"

    "Serves you right, why didn’t you inform Sun Chan earlier?"

    Han Dong pulled a long face, "I was out of town at that time, and Sun Chan was busy with exams, how could I dare disturb her? Can it be settled like this for now? Just do me the favor."

    Gu Junming wanted to say something more, but Sun Chan grabbed his arm and said, "Don’t worry! Actually, I already designed some styles earlier. I’ll bring them out for some modifications now, and design a few more pieces. First, we’ll sort out the styles for the foreigners, and Han Dong can have the leftovers. Alright, I’ll take a rest and get it done as soon as possible."

    "You sure? In this heat, what if you get heatstroke?" Gu Junming frowned.

    Sun Chan bit her lip and said, "I’ll give it my all. I do want sess and to earn money, after all."

    Wang Shufen quickly added, "Have dinner first! We’ll sort it out after eating."

    "Alright. Just make something simple."

    "How can it be simple when you’re so busy," Wang Shufen said with a smile as she went inside, bringing out several dishes. To celebrate Sun Chan finishing her exams, she made quite a lot of delicious food: pork ribs stewed with beans, eggnt boxes, and bought the fried chicken fillet she had wanted, along with a cold dish.
