After that, Liu Duo placed her fingerprint, gave one contract to Qin Fang, and saved one for herself.
Alright, it’s getting late, so we ought to go. I’ll get the drawings ready in a few days and get back to you. I say, Miss Fang, you should be able to make them, can’t you?” She asked as she kept her contract.
Not long after, they would have income, and Yang would not have to go hunting anymore. Just thinking about it made her so happy.
Qin Fang also smiled, “Rest assured, Little Duo, I can certainly guarantee you’ll be satisfied with the final product.”
“Right. Do remember, just make ten for every picture, as a warm-up.”
“I know that.” With that, they left the room.
Qin Fang walked behind them and found that they were not wearing good clothes. She could even see the patches, so she said, “Little Duo, don’t go just yet. Choose any clothes or cloth from our collection and I’ll let you have them.”
Liu Duo stopped in her tracks and looked over at Qin Fang, “That’s not right, is it? We don’t have the money.”
“I don’t need the money. I’ve said I’d let you have them. Take it as a token of gratitude for working with us.”
Since she offered, Liu Duo didn’t argue. It wouldn’t be sincere.
Joyfully she went to pick something out, while Ye Liu and Ye Mo just looked at her.
“Why don’t you go ahead?” Qin Fang asked the other two.
Ye Liu did not take his eyes off Liu Duo as he replied, “We’ll just let her choose. She’s the one working with you, not us, so we don’t have to.”
They could not bare to take more advantage than they could afford. They would shop with their own money in exchange for peace of mind.
Qin Fang was pleased. They were poor, but they had ambitions. Liu Duo must have seen their righteousness. That was why she did not feel disgraced being with them.
Liu Duo spotted a light blue garment, made of brocade, that came in a simple style – not complicated, like the others she did not like. Satin was too expensive, and she did not want to take advantage of others too much.
She saw the men just standing there and knew what they were thinking. When they had money, she would buy more for them.
She took the garment and compared the size, “Liu, come look at this. Is it nice?”
“Looks great. You look beautiful, so whatever you wear makes you even more so,” Ye Liu nodded.
Oh dear, what a talker! She smiled sweetly. Who didn’t like compliments from their husband?
Ye Mo said nothing. She did not ask him, and he did not like that! He put on a long face.
“Try it on. The fitting room is over here,” Qin Fang brought Liu Duo to the fitting room.
She changed into the new garment and walked out excitedly. She spun once in front of Ye Liu, “Liu, what do you think?”
Nice, very nice.” He smiled and nodded. She was smiling like a kid, but she looked really nice in the outfit.
Clothes make the man, after all. Now Liu Duo looked like a different person, like a rich man’s daughter. Not very striking, but quite sophisticated.
“Pffft, that’s all you have? Looks average,” Ye Mo had to rain on her party.
He was mad that she did not ask him, as though he was invisible!
Liu Duo came to confront him, “Whatever, so I’m average. I’m not wearing it for you. I’m not asking for your opinion. You’re being amorous!”
Then she turned and held onto Ye Liu as she spoke to Qin Fang, “Thank you, Miss Fang, for the clothes. We’ll be going now. See you in a few days.”
“Sure, come again,” Qin Fang nodded.
Ye Mo glared at Liu Duo. He was furious, but he refused to show it. His chest huffed and puffed as he walked behind them.
Qin Fang laughed at the sight before her, “No wonder Little Duo did not fancy him. Long face, bad temper, and not conversational at all!”
She had lived long enough and seen enough people to see through his bad attitude.
