If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Yanxi insisted on registering a trademark, and the name Xiyan passed the review in one fell swoop. During the period when the trademark came down, she had already found a store on the street, and the location was not very good. This is impossible, the rent of the gold shop is surprisingly high, and there are many people robbing it, Yan Xi must plan carefully for the little money in his hand.
When the tailor shop opened, Xiang Lan sent her two flower baskets on behalf of An Qi and Xu Lu, two for each person, and six flower baskets were placed at the door, which added a lot of joy.
But the business was not very good at the beginning. As Yang Fan said, not many people are willing to go to tailors to make clothes now. It takes at least a week to wait for a piece of clothing from fabric selection, to tailoring, to the completion of the garment. No one has such patience now. It is not an internationally renowned designer, so there is nothing worth waiting for. In addition, there are now more migrants than locals in Qingquan, which onion is Yanxi? In the past, Yanxi's popularity in the small town was useless.
At first, Yan Xi was still superstitious about the smell of wine, so he bought two plaster mannequins, put them in front of the store, made two sets of clothes, and put them on the mannequins. Passers-by were attracted, but when they went in and took a look, they all felt that it took about a week for a new dress, which was too long. Go to a clothing store and buy one, and you can wear it right away.
In order to make an opening for Yan Xi, Xiang Lan tore a piece of fabric and made a dress. In the first few days, relying on the care of relatives and friends, I managed to make ends meet.
But Yanxi knew very well that this was not a long-term solution.
Yang Fan saw that she was frowning all day long and couldn't think of a good way. After thinking about it, he said: "Why don't you close the shop? If this continues, you will only lose money."
Yan Xi was disappointed that no matter what he did, he couldn't get Yang Fan's support. He always accused her of having another person in her heart, but he didn't know that she had been working hard to erase that person. But this is not something she can do alone, she needs his help! She was like a drowning person, struggling in the water alone, he stood on the shore, it was fine if he didn't lend a helping hand, and he was still blaming her why she couldn't learn to swim.
There are too many disappointments accumulated, and there is no expectation. She didn't argue, and went to the store silently the next day.
She became more and more silent, and Yang Fan became more and more insecure. A marriage that had no emotional basis in the first place is now even more precarious with the family's economic crisis. Yang Fan felt that Yan Xi was erratic, and he wanted to grab her, but the harder he tried, the more counterproductive he was.
Sometimes I think, I am like this, if I just let go, maybe it will be better for her to miss him a little bit. But when he thinks about the days without her, how can he live by himself? One person fights against the disease, and one person endures the torment of chemotherapy. As soon as I thought of this, fear came to my heart, and I dared not take a step forward. He thought that he was just an ordinary person, and what he did was just a choice that many ordinary people would make. When he was seriously ill, he needed to rely on and accompany him. There was nothing wrong with that, right?
On this day, a special guest came to Yanxi's store, wearing sunglasses, and as soon as he entered the door, he gestured to him with a piece of fabric. It was rare for a customer to come to the store, but Yan Xi was overjoyed. It just doesn't look like the ones in Qingquan Town.
She walked up to the man and said, "Hello! Want to make clothes?"
The man seemed to prevent her from seeing his face on purpose. When he saw her coming, he turned slightly sideways: "Just take a look."
"What would you like to do? A coat, or a skirt?"
"skirt."
"dress?"
"That's right."
Yan Xi was puzzled, what kind of talk is this, what does it mean? She found this person more and more strange, and stretched her neck to see his true face clearly. The man's face turned further inward. Yan Xi stretched out his hand, pawed her, and forced her to face him. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, the man took off his glasses and said with a smile, "It's me!"
"Xu Lu!" Yan Xi exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
"How about it, isn't it a surprise?"
"How do you know I'm here?"
"Of course I told her." Xiang Lan walked in from the door, "She insisted on coming in first, saying that she was testing your sincerity, and see if you have forgotten her after all these years."
"Boring!" Yan Xi cursed, but she was already in a hurry to find a chair and pour tea for her old classmate.
Xu Lu said: "To be honest, did you not recognize me when I walked in?"
"Yeah, I didn't recognize it." Yan Xi handed the tea to Xu Lu, "What wind brought you here?"
Xu Lu said: "Tell Xiang Lan that your business is not doing well, and I'm here to save you."
Yan Xi glanced at Xiang Lan, and asked Xu Lu: "How to save me?"
Xu Lu took out a script from his bag: "This is a new drama that our company is going to shoot, a costume martial arts film. Didn't you often draw portraits of characters in martial arts novels before? I want you to do this drama modeling."
"Are you kidding me?" Yan Xi held the script and felt that it was a bit unreal.
Xu Lu said: "Do you think I look like a joke?"
Yan Xi is a little eager to try, but also a little worried. After all, he is a layman, and he is afraid that taking this order will hurt Xu Lu: "I used to just draw for fun, and I have never done modeling for TV dramas before!"
Xu Lu said: "There is a first time for everything."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll screw it up?" Yan Xi didn't dare to imagine herself as a tailor in a small town doing styling for TV dramas. This sounds unreliable. Is Xu Lu's heart too big?
Xu Lu said: "It's not that I haven't read those albums of yours. I have confidence in your brain and your craftsmanship. Don't think too deeply about this matter. Nowadays, many stylists for TV dramas are also laymen, and their costumes are even worse. It was borrowed by several crews. So, you can easily go into battle. If your plan is approved, we will pay 50% of the budget first, what do you think?"
Xiang Lan on the side also encouraged: "You read the script first, and then make a few shapes based on the characters. If the director and producer agree, wouldn't it open up another field? Then this store doesn't have to rely on township If you survive the odd jobs on the Internet, you can go another way. If not, let¡¯s find another way.¡±
Xu Lu said: "Xiang Lan is right, give yourself a chance. Don't take the matter too seriously. I can't make the decision. It's up to the director to decide whether to accept it or not. I will act as a matchmaker. effect."
Yan Xi was also forced to do nothing, the rent, water and electricity, the living expenses of the family, and Yang Fan's high medical expenses all depended on her to earn. She has to give it a go.
"Okay, I'll try."
Xu Lu said: "There is an outline of the plot here, you can figure out the main characters first. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to read the script carefully."
