Chapter 13 The birth of the Xiyu clothing brand

"I know you've always wanted to go to college, and your grades are good, I know your college entrance exam score should be very good, you didn't tell us the truth, did you! Now you must cherish the opportunity of the moment, study hard and find a job you like in the future. Don't send money home in the future, and when my father recovers, my salary will be enough for our family's living expenses, and you will keep your money for yourself. Feel free to contact me if you have anything. I'm going to the hospital now, and if you want to talk to my parents, you can call me tomorrow. Hung up. ”

Xiaoxi: "Okay, brother, keep in touch, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxi's heart was much more relaxed, the first is: Dad can finally be treated; The second is: This matter is finally told to the family, although the parents don't know yet, but the brother knows, and it is not completely hidden from the family, so there is a lot less guilt in my heart. Then, humming happily, he walked towards the gate in a hurry.

Mrs. Mu saw Xiaoxi come in in the living room: "Xiaoxi, come over to Mommy." Xiaoxi: "Mommy, you haven't gone to rest yet?" ”

Madame: "I'm waiting for you!" Seeing that you are in a good mood, is there anything happy about you? Can you tell Mommy about it? Xiaoxi: "Hmm! I just called home and my brother told me that my dad had finally gone to the hospital for treatment and would recover soon. I also told my brother about recognizing you as a mommy. He didn't blame me for hiding from my family, so I was in a good mood. ”

Then, Xiaoxi said softly: "Mommy, don't blame me for hiding this matter at home, okay?" I didn't mean anything else, because after all, I was a girl who came out to work so far away from home, and my family didn't know what I was doing outside, and I was just afraid that my parents would worry about me at home. Mrs. Mu felt very relieved to see Xiaoxi say these heartfelt words to herself, "I never blamed you, and I understand you, knowing that you are a good girl who is filial, otherwise, Mommy wouldn't like you so much, so don't worry about it, you know?" You can talk to Mommy about anything. Don't take it to heart, it's not good."

Xiaoxi stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Maku: "Thank you, Mommy!" "Silly boy, you don't have to say thank you to Mommy, you know?" Xiaoxi choked up and said, "Mommy, do you know? I used to be homesick and miss my parents, but since I met you, you have cared for me as much as my own mother. So I am grateful to you for taking care of me and making me feel the warmth of home here. Mrs. Maku: "I will be your mother in the future, and you are also my daughter, you know?" When you are willing to tell your parents one day, we will go back to E City to visit them together, and I would like to thank them for raising such a good daughter, so that I can also make up for the vacancy of not having a daughter. From now on, you will be the daughter of our two families. ”

"Xiaoxi, Mommy has one more thing to tell you, my YW brand wants to create a sub-brand for you, specializing in casual clothing you like. And the brand name is also chosen, called 'Xiyu'. As for you, you also need to contribute to this brand. Xiaoxi: "My sub-brand? I don't know anything about design. Mrs. Maku: "You really don't know anything about design, but I see that you are very sensitive to fashion and know how to dress, so your task is to tell Mommy what you like, or some of the styles, details and elements you like, and Mommy will let the company's designers design according to your ideas." Xiaoxi: "Is it okay like this?" Is that my pleasure? That's no problem" Madame Maku: "Xiaoxi, I'll take you to my design room for you to have a tour." After saying that, the mother and daughter walked together to the design room of Mrs. Curtain on the second floor.

The design room was large, with a large table outside for drawings, several mannequins, and a room dedicated to various fabrics and sewing equipment. This room also has a balcony from which you can see the corner of the garden and the pool.

"Xiaoxi, come and take a look, this is a set of clothes I designed for you this afternoon, you can take a look, if there are any suggestions or changes that need to be made. I've never designed a casual style before, and this is my first attempt, and I don't know much about the vision and pursuit of young girls now, so you have to be my teacher to make my first design work more perfect. ”

Xiaoxi stepped forward with a smile and looked at the drawings carefully, "Mommy, I like this style so much, but I personally think that this top can be embellished with a little bit of popular small elements, and there is no need to change anything, even if it is this skirt, the current length is above the knee." It's okay to wear it in autumn now, but if the weather is cooler after a while, this length will be a little cold, if you lengthen it a little more, it will be better to the calf, and then you can add a pair of bottoming pants in the winter, so that this dress will be more practical. ”

After listening to Xiaoxi's analysis, Mrs. Mu nodded, "You are indeed very careful, we usually design clothes more to pay attention to the beauty of clothes, so we often ignore the practicality of clothes." That's a good idea, I'm going to have to tell the company's designers about your idea tomorrow so that they can't ignore these details in the future. Only by thinking from the perspective of consumers can our works be more acceptable to everyone. Xiaoxi, thank you, you really taught me a lesson today. ”

Xiaoxi didn't expect that a designer with such a big reputation as Makusha could ask for ideas from him so humbly, and he could also adopt his own opinions, realize small mistakes in his usual work, and even remind other designers. This made her rediscover the other side of Madame Mataku. It seems that as others often say, the saying that there is no such thing as success for no reason is not unreasonable.

Madame Maku: "It's not early, Xiaoxi, you should also rest, I'll take you to my studio at 6 this week." You go and find out where I usually work. You can also meet the designers of the 'Xiyu' brand, you can communicate with them more and give them some inspiration. Take a look at the new models that have come out recently, and if you have your favorites, you can also ask them to send some back. Xiaoxi: "Okay, Mommy, I'm going upstairs, you also rest early, your feet will recover, you still have to rest more." Good night, Mommy! ”

Back on the 3rd floor, Xiao Xi saw the light coming out of the study of the curtain night garden, it seemed that he was still working, and Xiao Xi found that the curtain night garden worked late at home every day before resting. Woke up very early in the morning. It felt like they didn't need a break at work. I feel that every successful person is working silently behind the scenes, and I feel that I should work hard like them.

At present, compared with the high school years, Xiaoxi feels that the freshman class is very relaxed, so he and Xiaowei signed up for the dance club and the art club together. Usually, except for class time, the two of them stay in the club at other times.

Sometimes I go to the basketball club with Xiaowei to watch Li Mingyu and Zheng Yilong play basketball, and the four of them often play together. In his free time, Xiaoxi would also ask Li Mingyu to teach him to play the guitar, and they found that Xiaoxi's voice was very good, and his singing skills were really good, so Li Mingyu mentioned the formation of a band again.

"Zheng Yilong, you say something, can this thing be done? This is what we have always dreamed of! In the past, it was because I couldn't find a suitable talent, and I never formed a group. But I think we still get along well with Xiaoxi's personalities, and Song Wei, you have to be the keyboardist of our band! ”

Zheng Yilong said to Song Wei: "Song Wei, you make a statement!" Song Wei heard Zheng Yilong say this, but thought about it seriously: "If everyone is together, I have no problem."

Zheng Yilong nodded and said seriously: "I think Xiaoxi can be the lead singer, she has a good timbre!" And the foundation is solid, if you teach him to practice the guitar well, we can almost do it. Mingyu, you will be the bass player at that time. Song Wei, you are just like Mingyu said, you are the keyboardist. You're fine, I've noticed you early on, so we're all together! We have to come up with a name for the band now, let's all go back and think about it, and then add it up, this matter is not in a hurry, Xiaoxi's guitar still has to step up practice, you are very talented, if you work hard, it will be no problem at all. ”

Xiaoxi asked weakly: "Can I really do it?" But I don't think I know much about it, I don't know anything about the professional knowledge, and I've only been practicing guitar for a few days. Where does your faith in me come from? I don't have confidence myself. ”

Zheng Yilong: "I have friends in this area, please ask them to teach you when the time comes!" ”

Xiaowei encouraged at this time: "Xiaoxi, you can do it." Let's just play together and don't put too much pressure on ourselves. ”

Li Mingyu said: "Brother Long, let's do it, let's go to your house to practice and try it out tomorrow two days off, do you think it's convenient?" ”

Zheng Yilong: "I'm fine, you make an appointment." ”

Xiaowei: "I'm free on Saturday and Sunday. ”

Xiaoxi: "I don't have time on Saturday, but I can do it on Sunday." ”

Zheng Yilong: "Okay, then it's set for the day after tomorrow and Sunday." ”

4 people agreed on a time. And they all dispersed, and went home.

Xiaoxi came back later than usual today, so when she arrived at home, Teacher Ding had just arrived, so she went directly into the cram room together. Teacher Ding took out some exercises for Xiaoxi to practice, and then reviewed several other homework.

Teacher Ding: "Xiaoxi, you are very smart, and your ability to accept and understand is very strong, so after this week of tutoring, you have caught up with all the courses that you have fallen behind, and I won't use it next week."

You have my contact information, if you don't understand anything in the learning process in the future, you can contact me at any time, and I will help you if I can help you. Xiaoxi: "Thank you, Mr. Ding!" ”
