Chapter 6 Making a fool of yourself

Xi Mufeng watched Xiang Lianyi leave through the window of his room, his head full of unexplainable thoughts.

Xiang Lianyi didn't expect the 18-year-old Xi Mufeng to be so adorable!

He didn't have that cold attitude she remembers from her last life at all.

Thinking about how silly Xi Mufeng had been just now, a wide smile appeared on her face.

Soon after returning home, she heard her neighbor, Sister Wang, call out to her, "Lianyi, there's a call for you."

"Who is it?" Qin Zhu asked curiously. At this time, the telephone is not yet widespread. Ordinary people's homes rarely have phones to use. She could not think of anyone who could be looking for Xiang Lianyi.

"Mom, I guess it's our business coming." Xiang Lianyi said mysteriously.

"Eh? Business?"

Qin Zhu unsurely followed her to the neighbor's house.

Just listened to Xiang Lianyi said to the phone, "Hello, yes, I am. Okay, no problem. Okay, bye!"

Qin Zhu looked at her with increasing confusion.

"Mom, there's big business, it's the Xi family. They ordered 100 sets of seasonal staff clothes."

"Oh, Qin Zhu, your family has a connection to the Xi family? They sure are rich. Money that's pocket change to them are more than enough for our living expenses." Wang Xia said in a sour tone.

"Aunt Wang, I still have to thank you for telling me to answer the phone, otherwise I might have missed it. Let's do this. If there are more calls for my family in the future, I'll pay for you for it. Fifty cents a call." Xiang Lianyi said with a smile, deliberately ignoring the fact that Qin Zhu had been holding onto her hand.

"Oh, girl, you're such a sweet talker. We live so close to each other, so there's no need to be so polite. Aunt Wang will wish you a prosperous business!"

"Oh, thank you, Aunt Wang."

Xiang Lianyi held Qin Zhu's hand and returned home.

Qin Zhu finally couldn't help but say, "Lianyi, why did you promise to give her money?" Although 50 mao wasn't much, it was an expense if it accumulated over time.

"Mom, we don't have a phone at home right now, so if we really take on more jobs from the Xi family in the future, we'll have to use the phone a few more times. If Aunt Wang were not willing to help, we will be in trouble, so we might as well give her something to save ourselves from that."

"But... "Qin Zhu is still obviously a bit hesitant.

"Mom, don't hesitate, quick, let's hurry up and draw up a blueprint for the uniform. I'll send it to the Xi family. If it really works out, that would be great."

"Silly child, even if the Xi family agrees, I'm still working alone. When will I finish making 100 sets of uniforms? Can people from the Xi family wait that long?" Qin Zhu wasn't looking forward to this. She knew what she was capable of. A hundred sets were too much.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. I have a solution." Xiang Lianyi tried hard to convince Qin Zhu.

In the end, Qin Zhu could only half-heartedly believe her, and the two of them hurriedly rushed out a sample the next day.

Xiang Lianyi looked at the sample and nodded her head in satisfaction. It was not bad. It had the feel of professionally, but it wasn't too rigid. She thought everyone who saw it would be satisfied.

Before she could leave the house, an unexpected guest came to the door.

"Sister, I heard that your family received a big order, 100 sets of clothes? You must be busy, let me help you." Gu Yujiao walked in, her hips swinging as if she was trying to show off to everyone.

Xiang Lianyi frowned. In her previous life, Gu Yujiao also came to the door and willingly offered to help her mother. Qin Zhu was very grateful for her help back then.

However, she was jealous of them and deliberately made the clothes with loose corners. As a result, the clothes fell apart after only being worn a few times.

In the end, everyone said the quality of her family's clothes was very bad, making the already difficult situation even worse for them.

In this life, Xiang Lianyi would not let her get away with it again.

Looking at Qin Zhu's clearly hesitant look, Xiang Lianyi leaned over to her and whispered something.

"Forget it. There's a hundred sets. I'm not sure I can take them anyways, so I still don't need to bother you." Qin Zhu said deliberately.

As expected, Gu Yujiao scoffed in her mind upon hearing that they wouldn't be able to take the order. However, like the hypocrite she is, she still kept a smiling face and said, "Well, even if I were to help you, who knows how long it will take to make a hundred sets? If you don't need me, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, she walked out again, still swinging her hips.

Qin Zhu looked at Xiang Lianyi, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll take a sample to the Xi family first so they can look at it."

"Go ahead and be careful."

Xiang Lianyi came to the Xi family once again.

Auntie Zhang opened the door and saw it was her. She smiled and said, "little girl, you're here. Is it done so quickly? Wait a moment, Madam is in the study, I'll go tell her."

"There's no rush, Auntie Zhang, thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome."

Xiang Lianyi sat down in the living room of the Xi family, looking very polite. She looked around the room. She hadn't taken a good look at it the last time she came here since she was in a hurry.

It's really beautiful here. She wondered if Xi Mufeng was home.

As if on cue, Xi Mufeng walked in through the front door.

He had probably gone to play basketball. He was dressed in a uniform, his hair damp with sweat, and was stunned when he saw Xiang Lianyi.

Then the corners of his mouth lifted in a smile.

"Xiang Lianyi? You're here to deliver clothes again?" He asked jokingly.

"Uh, no." Xiang Lianyi subconsciously covered her nose with her hand and said.

Xi Mufeng was stunned and raised his hand to smell his own body.

Well, he did smell a little bad.
