CHAPTER 645: CHAPTER 644: EITHER MALE OR FEMALE

Upon entering Sincere Internet Cafe, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue inevitably saw that the place was packed to the brim!

The two exchanged a silent look, then tacitly made their way towards the counter.

Today was Sunday, the day Sincere Internet Cafe’s membership cards were open for recharge, so Zhang San was bound to be in the shop.

Zhen Yu didn’t want to use her status as the boss to jump the queue to get a computer, and it was rare for Han Mingyue to have a chance to meet up with her, so both of them didn’t mind waiting a bit longer! After greeting Zhang San, they took a seat in the waiting area.

While busy, Zhang San didn’t forget to direct the network manager to grab two bottles of drinks from the counter for Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu smiled as she took them, deliberately saying loudly to the network manager, "Since Zhang San is treating, let’s all have one each!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang San raised his head from behind the counter and also said loudly, "Go ahead and take them! I’m treating, but Boss Zhen is paying!"

"Ha ha! Thanks, Boss!"

The young network manager cooperated with a word of thanks, then went back to the counter to grab a few more bottles to share with his busy colleagues.

Zhen Yu didn’t bother with him anymore and instead called out to Zhang San, "Hey, Zhang San! Let me know when you’re not busy! I have something to discuss with you!"

"Alright! Got it!"

After getting his response, Zhen Yu stopped talking. She then passed one of the two drinks in her hand to Han Mingyue, "Here!"

But Han Mingyue took the bottle and, with a slick move, tucked it under her arm and stretched out her hand to take the only remaining bottle from Zhen Yu!

Zhen Yu: "!"

That was... quite unexpected...

"Here you go!"

After opening the bottle, Han Mingyue handed it back to Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu absentmindedly took it back, muttering instinctively, "I can open it myself, you know!"

"Pfft!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the boy sitting on her other side burst out laughing and quickly turned his head away from her, trying to mute his laughter by shaking...

Han Mingyue could only offer a wry smile, opened her mouth, but ended up just saying, "Drink up!"

After witnessing the reactions of the people on both sides of her, Zhen Yu belatedly realized she had said something silly! She promptly took a sip of her drink to cover up her embarrassment and immediately opened up the conversation.

"Han Mingyue! I want to register two trademarks too! Can you help me think of some names?"

"??? Han Mingyue: "What kind of trademarks do you want to register? What kind of names are you looking for?"

"Clothing brands! Didn’t I tell you in the text yesterday? I’m partnering with Aunt Fu to start two clothing brands! So help me think, what would be a good name for a Hanfu brand?"

"Hanfu?!"

"Oh snap! I forgot!" Zhen Yu suddenly slapped her forehead, remembering that in this day and age, the concept of Hanfu hadn’t penetrated people’s hearts as it would in the future. She had to explain, "It’s our Han Clan’s traditional clothing! You can think of it as ancient costumes! Like the kimono or hanbok that foreigners wear, you get it?"

Han Mingyue nodded, forming a rough outline and understanding of the term ’Hanfu’.

"Do you have any specific requirements for the name?"

"Uh... Something with an ancient feel will do!" Just as she finished saying that, Zhen Yu suddenly remembered that in the future, Hanfu would also be very popular with boys! She quickly added, "Best to be unisex!"

"Unisex?!" Han Mingyue looked perplexed again.

Zhen Yu patiently continued to explain, "It means neither masculine nor feminine! Ah, no!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately realized it was incorrect and hastily corrected herself, "I mean, suitable for both men and women! Like... your name, for example! Ming Yue, it can be a man’s name, a woman’s name, and sounds harmonious either way! Not only is it easy to pronounce, but it also sounds distinguished, refined..."

"..." Han Mingyue eyed Zhen Yu silently with an unpleased look.

Although you were flattering with your rambling, that ’neither masculine nor feminine’ description is still stuck in my mind! And you choose my name as an example (to make fun), how very kind of you!

Receiving Han Mingyue’s gaze, Zhen Yu’s voice trailed off, and she shrank her neck guiltily. Understanding the message in his eyes, she wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, feeling extremely awkward...

Seeing her like this, Han Mingyue felt an emotional blockage, yet he couldn’t really be mad at her. In the end, he just pulled her into his embrace and gave her hair a couple of light tugs.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh!" After saying that, Han Mingyue himself laughed first.

Zhen Yu instantly showed a big smile!

---

For the time following, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue’s conversation revolved around the name and LOGO for the Hanfu brand, until two adjacent computers freed up and it was their turn to use them.

Prompted by Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue briefly searched online for ginseng images, but finding none to his satisfaction, he decisively gave up on looking online. Instead, he logged into the websites and forums where he serialized his novels, connected his USB drive, and began to upload the latest Chapters.

As he uploaded, he took the opportunity to skim through people’s comments, messages, and private messages on the site.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yu seated next to him was completely focused, her hands moving non-stop.

From the moment she powered on her computer, she began to quickly search for information about all the nearby clothing factories in Qi City.

The reason she was looking for factories so early was that Zhen Yu had already decided to partner with He Baihe to open an online store selling Hanfu across different domains.

Moreover, no matter when, if one wants to mass-produce clothing goods, there’s only one way to go: through a clothing manufacturing factory. Either find another clothing factory for OEM production, then brand it as your own, or buy a whole factory and do everything yourself.

At this moment, Zhen Yu’s plan was to find a manufacturing factory with excellent craftsmanship quality and technology.

This wasn’t just because she had invested most of her working capital into the dairy factory and didn’t have enough money to afford a clothing factory. But also because - if you can directly buy eggs, why bother catching a hen to raise at home?

Isn’t it delightful to eat ready-made?

With a manufacturing factory, all Zhen Yu needed to do was have Mrs. Bai sew one sample of each Hanfu design she ’created’, then send it to the factory for patterning and start mass production.

The beginning and end were easy; only the crucial and most challenging part was creating the sample in the middle.

And this step — fell entirely into Mrs. Bai’s hands!
