The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Treating Others to a Meal

When Qin Aimin saw the blueprints, he couldn’t help but feel impressed, and then he became even more satisfied with Ding Yuejun. ”Very good, I will show you the script afterward. You can think about the clothing styles for the main actors based on the plot.”

”Sure.”

The two of them finalized everything in their laughter and conversation and even signed an agreement in the end.

As Qin Aimin and Old Li left, Old Li couldn’t help but say, ”Aimin, you are being too hasty. Our budget isn’t that high. If it’s all spent on costumes, what about other aspects?”

”I know your concerns, but costumes are also extremely important. If this is done well, as soon as people see the costumes, they’ll recognize our TV drama.” Qin Aimin was full of confidence about the upcoming filming.

Hearing this, Old Li said no more.

Even though he had a good relationship with Qin Aimin, it was still Qin Aimin who made the final decision. Even if the director disagreed, Qin Aimin would have to reconcile it himself.

On the other side, after securing this order, Ding Yuejun was very happy. She went to the Chu family after closing shop that evening.

”Uncle, the costume order has been finalized.” Ding Yuejun recounted the process of signing the agreement with Qin Aimin and also detailed her pricing.

”Your pricing is still too low.”

Mr. Chu Zhang couldn’t help but shake his head at these words.

Ding Yuejun smiled and said, ”Uncle, I don’t have much reputation for now, and this price actually isn’t low. Once this order is delivered, I can still make a good profit.”

Hearing this, Mr. Chu Zhang said with wide eyes, ”Our Chu family doesn’t lack reputation. This crew is getting a bargain. Once they realize your talent, they’ll definitely seek future collaborations with you, and by then, you shouldn’t be so straightforward.”

”Yes, yes, yes.”

Seeing how Mr. Chu Zhang cared so much about her, Ding Yuejun quickly nodded with a smile, and then they discussed the cost of mass-producing the costumes.

”Since the order is set, let’s make a rough decision first, then adjust based on the exact quantity.”

After they settled the issue, Jiang Yizi enthusiastically invited Ding Yuejun to stay for dinner, ”Yue Jun, since Yiyi has gone to school, it’s just you at home. Have a meal before you go back.”

Ding Yuejun smilingly agreed.

From then on, she became completely busy.

The next day, Qin Aimin brought the script, and after calming herself, Ding Yuejun delved into its study. So when Yiyi came home on Friday night, she found her mother had even forgotten to cook.

”Yiyi, I forgot today was Friday. How about we go out to eat later?”

Yiyi naturally nodded with a smile, then went next door to invite her master and Mo Ping to dine together. However, upon reaching next door, she found only Mo Ping was there.

”Mo Ping, where’s Master? Didn’t he come back last time? Why haven’t I seen him?”

Since the last time he appeared at the costume shop opening, Yiyi realized she hadn’t seen her master for a long time.

”Your master has been busy lately. I haven’t seen him for a long time, but he does come back at night, only to leave again early in the morning. It’s hard to meet him. You should come early tomorrow morning to see him.”

Hearing this, Yiyi furrowed her brows and could only sigh, ”That seems to be the only way. Let’s go eat now.”

The three of them found a small restaurant nearby to have a meal and then returned to rest.

The next morning, before dawn, Yiyi got up, washed her face quickly, and headed next door.

”Master...”

Just as Yiyi reached the door, she saw Guo Ming about to leave and excitedly called out, ”Master, you’re leaving so early.”

Guo Ming was also happy to see his little apprentice, ”Why are you up this early?”

”I came specially to wait for you, Master. Luckily, I’m a step ahead; otherwise, I would’ve missed you again.”

”In that case, let’s practice a bit, then have breakfast together.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi nodded quickly.

It had been a while since she’d practiced the palm technique. When she first started today, she felt a bit off, but soon everything became smoother, and she could finally perform a dozen moves under Guo Ming’s guidance.

”Your agility is good, but it’s still not enough. Your practice interval hasn’t met the mark; otherwise, you wouldn’t have had that initial issue. It looks like we’ll have to resume practicing tomorrow until you master this palm technique.”

Feeling a bit helpless, Yiyi said, ”Master, I live at school, so I don’t have the chance to practice with you in the mornings.”

”Then see if you can move out.”

Hearing this, Yiyi’s eyes lit up. She wondered why she hadn’t thought of it before. Seeing her classmates live in the dorm, she stayed too, but actually, her home isn’t that far from school. She can make it to class if she heads back in the morning.

”I’ll ask next time. If I can stay at home, that would be the best.”

Guo Ming nodded, ”Alright.” But soon he checked the time and hastily said, ”Yiyi, I have to go now.”

”Master, what have you been busy with lately? Did you resolve the things you went to take care of smoothly?”

Yiyi remembered when her master bid her farewell to handle some past matters, and she’d worried for a long time. On the opening day, she was also preoccupied with her mother’s costume shop and didn’t get a chance to ask in detail.

Guo Ming said, ”Don’t worry, it went smoothly. However, I have too much to handle as I’ve been gone for a while and am taking over again.”

Seeing Guo Ming genuinely busy, Yiyi didn’t say much except to remind him to be careful.

After their conversation, Mo Ping came over yawning.

”Did you see your master?”

”I did.”

Hearing this, Mo Ping chuckled, ”Good that you did. Are you free today? If so, we can go to the factory site and have a look. The pharmaceutical factory is already taking shape. It shouldn’t be long before it opens.”

Hearing this, Yiyi ultimately left with Mo Ping.

When the two arrived at the site, Mo Ping began introducing it to Yiyi.

”Once this place is built, it will be our pharmaceutical factory. Like in Houshan Town, we’ll surely make a name for ourselves here too.”

Seeing Mo Ping’s excited expression, Yiyi smiled without saying much, simply suggesting, ”Alright, let’s head back.”

After seeing the factory, Yiyi returned home in high spirits, humming a tune.

The next day, she rounded up her dorm mates to treat them to a meal since they had helped a lot with the costume order.

”Wow... Yiyi, this place looks really nice, but isn’t it expensive? We could settle for a street vendor,” Tao Cuizhu said, pulling Yiyi aside and whispering.
