"Please hurry up and wrap up that dress I just picked out, and all that fabric. I'll pay a deposit first. How much is it in total? You can calculate it."

Lin Fan turned around and looked at the shop assistant.

The shop assistant, who was watching the commotion with great interest, paused for a moment upon hearing Lin Fan's words, and hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll pack the clothes for you right away."

"As for the thirty meters of fabric you requested, that's seventy yuan in total. Including the clothes, it'll be one hundred and ten yuan in total. Please keep it safe!"

The store has a limited stock of fabric, so it's impossible to stock up too much. It's rare for someone to buy so much at once, so they have to pay a deposit first. The fabric can only be delivered to Lin Fan after it's been transported from other stores.

As for the dress Lin Fan bought, it was a pure white high-necked long dress that looked very high-class and beautiful. That one dress alone cost forty yuan.

"Here's one hundred and ten yuan, please count it."

Lin Fan took out his money from his pocket, counted out 110 yuan, and handed it to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant was a little stunned after receiving the money, not expecting that this unassuming young man would actually buy such an expensive item.

"Please wait a moment, we will pack your clothes shortly."

After collecting the money, the clerk immediately went to get busy.

The other onlookers could no longer laugh.

No way, this young man actually has that much money, and he's even willing to buy a suit that costs forty yuan apiece. Is that suit studded with gold? It's so expensive.

Liu Qingqing naturally heard what the shop assistant said, and her expression was somewhat complicated.

The dress cost forty yuan was much more expensive than what she usually wore.

Although her family is wealthy, this money didn't come easily; her parents only give her a certain amount of pocket money to support her.

She couldn't help but fantasize: if she had really been with Lin Fan back then, would she be wearing this dress now?

And now, the person standing next to him is no longer that annoying Ye Tian, ​​but the polite, handsome, gentle and considerate Lin Fan.

"What? This...this is impossible! Where did you get the money? You're just a country bumpkin!"

Ye Tian was shocked to see that Lin Fan actually took out so much money to pay the bill!

That's over a hundred yuan! You can take out so much money in one go without even blinking? When did people in the countryside become so rich?

He is the noble young master of a wealthy family, while Lin Fan is just a pitiful wretch who was kicked out of his home, a country bumpkin. What makes him so special?

"Country bumpkin, I think they're calling you, aren't they?"

"What, you can't even accept such a small amount of money? Aren't you the young master of the Ye family? What haven't you seen? Are you so short-sighted?"

"Or do you think everyone in the world is a fool, and only your Ye family can make money?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Tian with disdain.

As soon as he said that, the onlookers' gazes turned somewhat hostile.

Yeah, what business is it of yours if someone has money? And why do you think you deserve so much money? Why can't they have this much money?

What this young man said makes sense. So it's only normal for you to have money, and it's not normal for others to make money?

"I...I didn't..."

Ye Tian opened his mouth, but didn't know how to defend himself.

Lin Fan continued, "Next time you call someone a country bumpkin, take a look in the mirror first. I don't have time to waste with you. As for whether I have money or not, Miss Liu next to you should know best. You should ask her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan took the package from the shop assistant, turned around and left, leaving Ye Tian looking bewildered.

Ye Tian took a deep breath, turned to look at Liu Qingqing beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Did you know he had money to come here to buy clothes?"

Liu Qingqing nodded. How could she not know? It was because of this that she was humiliated and embarrassed by Lin Fan yesterday!

"Then why didn't you tell me? Did you really fall for him? Were you there to laugh at me?"

Looking at Ye Tian, ​​who was already somewhat delirious from Lin Fan's actions, Liu Qingqing let out a heavy snort.

"You've been deluding yourself all along. Have you even asked me one question?"

"Whether I'm interested in Lin Fan or not is none of your business. You were tricked by him, and now you're taking it out on me? Ye Tian, ​​my parents are trying to match us up, but that doesn't mean I'll definitely marry you. I don't need to compromise myself for you."

"Since you don't like me, let's take our leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qingqing turned and left angrily.

Ye Tian's breath hitched, and he felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.

"Lin Fan... Lin Fan, it's all your fault! You just wait!"

……

Ye Family, Liangshan County.

Wang Shuping and Ye Fuhai sat on the sofa, their brows furrowed as they looked at the annual financial report on the table.

"Oh, Fu Hai, what are we going to do? If we keep losing money like this, we won't be able to hold on much longer!"

Wang Shuping spoke with a worried expression.

The Ye family is in the textile business. In the 1980s, thanks to some government connections and policies, they obtained large orders and preferential treatment, and their business grew bigger and bigger, eventually leading them to where they are today.

However, with the development of offline garment stores, their textile business is becoming increasingly difficult. The fabrics they produce can only be sold through various garment factories, and can no longer be sold directly in stores as before.

However, this meant that the factory would take a cut of their profits, and coupled with the impact of clothing stores, their business gradually deteriorated, resulting in losses for almost the entire year.

If it weren't for some savings I had previously accumulated, I probably wouldn't even be able to pay the factory workers' wages now.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution. Since the textile business is failing, we'll transform ourselves. People always have to keep up with the mainstream to make big money!"

"Transformation? How can we transform? There's so much equipment in the factory, are we just going to throw it away?"

Unlike Wang Shuping, Ye Fuhai was not pessimistic. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice and put forward his own ideas.

Ye Fuhai shook his head and said, "The transformation I'm talking about is just expanding the scale of our factory. From just textiles, we'll also make garments, and even bags and shoes."

"Why don't we just produce and sell our own clothes instead of dealing with those garment manufacturers?"

Upon hearing Ye Fuhai's words, Wang Shuping hesitated for a moment before saying, "But we don't have any professionals in this field. Clothes need to be well-designed for people to buy them, right? We have no experience at all, how can we open up the market?"

Ye Fuhai frowned and said, "I'll figure something out. In short, we have to transform, otherwise we'll just be sitting here waiting to die!"
