CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175 WANG YUAN’S FIRST POT OF GOLD

"Okay, but Mom, are you going back with them too?"

It turns out Ye Qian and Ye Fu were returning, but it seemed to Gu Yiyi that Ye’s mother was planning to go back too.

"Yes, I’m going back to pack up the things we need at home and bring them over. Otherwise, they’ll just sit there unused. We’ll come back as soon as we’re done. You’ll have to cook for yourself these days."

When they first moved to B City, they had thought about settling down but weren’t certain at the time, so they didn’t bring much stuff.

Ye’s mother was planning to go back and tidy up.

"Alright, I definitely won’t let myself go hungry."

Gu Yi nodded and said with a smile.

The next day, Gu Yi hurried to the street, spent the whole morning shopping, and bought something for everyone in the family.

She returned home, organized the things, and placed them in the living room.

The phone rang just then, and she quickly picked it up.

"Hello, how can I help?"

"Hello Sister Yi Yi, this is Sun Ming."

Sun Ming quickly said from the other end.

"Sun Ming, you’re looking for Qianqian, right? Hang on a moment."

Gu Yiyi knew Sun Ming was looking for Ye Qian.

"Thank you, Sister Yi Yi."

Actually, Sun Ming was older than Gu Yi.

But since he wanted to pursue someone’s younger sister, being polite was best.

Ye Qian took the call, said goodbye to the family, and went out.

Soon after, she returned carrying a bag full of stuff.

"What did you buy?"

Ye’s mother asked when she saw Ye Qian carrying so many things.

"Sun Ming bought it. It’s all food for us to eat on the road tomorrow."

Ye Qian put the items on the table and said.

"Where’s Sun Ming? Why didn’t he come up to sit for a while?"

Ye’s mother asked, glancing at the door behind Ye Qian.

"He said he had something to do in the afternoon and already left."

Ye’s mother and Gu Yi gathered at the table to see what Sun Ming had bought.

There were snacks, filling bread, and some drinks.

"Sun Ming is quite thoughtful, he prepared everything."

Ye’s mother looked pleased.

As long as he cared about Ye Qian, that’s good.

The next day, Ye’s mother and the others set off early.

Gu Yi was once again left at home alone.

In the afternoon, Gu Yi got up from her nap and heard someone knocking on the door outside.

She went to the door and heard Wang Yuan’s voice calling from outside.

Gu Yi quickly opened the door.

"Yuanyuan, come on in."

"Sister Yi Yi, I’ve drawn five design sketches and wanted to bring them over for you to see."

Wang Yuan appeared excited yet somewhat apprehensive.

"Alright, you drew them so quickly."

Gu Yi took Wang Yuan’s design sketches.

Wang Yuan’s drawing skills were clearly better than hers.

It might also be because of her young age.

The clothes she designed were of the cute style.

Different from Gu Yi’s design style.

Gu Yi thought it was great. Having more design types would attract a wider audience.

"Sister Yi Yi, what do you think, are these alright?"

After Gu Yi finished looking through them all,

Wang Yuan quickly asked.

"I think they’re all great, much better than mine."

Gu Yi wasn’t being modest; she truly felt it was the case.

It was only because she had lived an extra life that she could come up with these.

But Wang Yuan’s design sketches contained a lot of her own ideas, and she had perfectly combined these ideas with her designs.

"Thank you, Sister Yi Yi, for giving me such high praise."

Wang Yuan and Gu Yi were very familiar, so they spoke casually.

"I’ll call our boss and see if he’s here."

After saying this, Gu Yi called Li Yitian.

Li Yitian said he was at Jingying Second Store.

Gu Yi hung up the phone and took Wang Yuan to find him.

"This is my classmate Wang Yuan, and this is the owner here, Li Yitian."

Gu Yi introduced them, as they would be working together in the future.

Once everyone was seated, Gu Yi handed Wang Yuan’s design sketches to Li Yitian.

Wang Yuan was especially nervous as Li Yitian flipped through them.

After looking through them, Li Yitian had thoughts similar to Gu Yi’s, believing that their brand’s clothing should be diverse.

"Can we buy your design drawings directly for our store?"

Li Yitian asked Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit incredulous.

"Sure, sure, no problem at all."

She quickly responded after realizing.

"Since this is our first collaboration, how about 20 yuan per drawing, totaling 100 yuan for five drawings? If the market response is good, we can discuss the price again next time. What do you think?"

Li Yitian offered a moderate price since it was still unknown whether the clothes would be accepted by the market, so he didn’t offer too high a price.

"Okay, I have no objections."

Wang Yuan was very satisfied that Li Yitian was willing to pay for her designs.

This also counted as recognition of her work over the past few days.

"Then let’s sign an agreement first."

Ever since the last time Gu Yi told him about Wang Yuan drawing design sketches,

Li Yitian had a lawyer friend create an agreement.

If they wanted to pursue independent design and sales, they would definitely need to collaborate with many people, and signing an agreement could protect both parties.

"Can I ask when these clothes will be in the store for sale?"

After signing the agreement, Wang Yuan asked another question.

"We need to go to the factory first to make samples. At the earliest, they will be available by the Monday after next."

Li Yitian calculated the time and informed Wang Yuan.

"Once they’re out, can you let me know? I want to come and buy some."

Wang Yuan smiled sheepishly.

"You want to buy them for keepsake, right?"

Gu Yi smiled and said.

"Yes, this will be my first piece of work."

Wang Yuan admitted openly.

"Once they’re out, I’ll call Gu Yi."

That’s what Gu Yi would do anyway, and Li Yitian didn’t object.

Gu Yi and Wang Yuan left the store.

Wang Yuan was holding 100 yuan, incredibly excited.

"Sister Yi Yi, this is my first time earning money, and it’s from my favorite fashion designing. Let me treat you to something to thank you for introducing me to this opportunity."

"No worries, it was just a small effort. You should go home and treat your parents. I don’t need anything."

Gu Yi declined her kind offer with a smile.

If it weren’t for Wang Yuan’s mother, Gu Yi wouldn’t have been able to get into the school.

So Gu Yi always felt grateful towards Wang Yuan and her parents.

This time, she could help Wang Yuan because of her talent, so Gu Yi considered that she hadn’t really contributed much.

"Okay, then I’ll go back and let my parents know so they can be happy too. Then they can treat you to a meal."

Wang Yuan thought her idea was great.

Before Gu Yi could respond, Wang Yuan waved and ran off.

Gu Yi shook her head with a smile.

She thought that Wang Yuan shouldn’t give her all the credit when she goes back.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Yuan rushed back home.

As soon as she entered, she loudly called for her parents.

"What’s going on, why are you shouting so loudly?"

Wang Yuan’s parents hurried out from their room.

"Mom and Dad, I earned money. I’m treating you to something delicious tonight."

After Wang Yuan finished speaking, her parents exchanged glances.
