Chapter 290: Nanyuan Xiuhua

If a small garment factory only supplies one shop, that would indeed be a good method.

Zhao Qiu Hua also realized that their perspectives were different; she only saw the shop before her, while Nan Nan saw the future—this was what they called having a big-picture view.

"What do you think?" Zhao Qiu Hua asked directly.

An Yinan thought for a moment, then said to her sisters, "In the early stages, we can find a few people with good craftsmanship to form a small workshop. Actually, this is better for preventing the designs from leaking, which is also a good thing."

"As for the later stages, we should still find trusted factories, and all of our clothes cannot be handed over to a single factory to complete."

Zhao Qiu Hua and Li Xiue both understood the logic behind this; Xie Yuanyuan, however, did not want to think about it and was only listening out of necessity, as she was the one responsible for this matter after all.

"Then let's do it that way." Zhao Qiu Hua nodded.

Finally, An Yinan scanned the circle and smiled, "There is one most important thing that I'm afraid we need to decide today."

"What thing?" Xie Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"The name of the shop," An Yinan said.

Everyone had already discussed the parts they were each responsible for, but the most important shop name had not yet been decided.

"Let's call it Nan Nan Clothing Store," Xie Yuanyuan said, raising her hand.

An Yinan let out a "pfft" and laughed, "Wouldn't that just become my own clothing store?"

Xie Yuanyuan pouted, then spread her hands, "Then what should we call it?"

Li Xiue thought for a moment, "Four Sisters Clothing Store?"

It was a shop shared by the four of them, so calling it Four Sisters Clothing Store should be fine, right?

An Yinan rubbed her brow; could such a tacky name really be used for a sign?

Zhao Qiu Hua thought for a long time, finally turning her gaze toward An Yinan. Following Nan Nan's habit of thinking before acting, she likely already had a choice in mind, "Do you already have a name selected in your heart?"

An Yinan actually had an idea in mind long ago, but for the shop belonging to the four of them, she wanted her sisters to participate in the process.

"How about Nanyuan Xiuhua?" As An Yinan spoke, she wrote these four characters on a piece of white paper.

"Nanyuan Xiuhua! Our names, taking one character from each," Li Xiue said with pleasant surprise.

Xie Yuanyuan saw the written characters, "Although my character is a homophone but not the same one, I don't think it makes a difference."

An Yinan smiled and pinched her fleshy cheek.

"I agree," Zhao Qiu Hua said directly.

Everyone reached a unanimous decision; the chain clothing store that would later spread across the country, Nanyuan Xiuhua, began its naming right here in this small courtyard.

The four of them checked the time, and An Yinan took out the reserved snacks from the room, including chocolate, apples, pears, and dried meat.

She divided the items and asked everyone to take their portions back.

"Now that school has started, I expect we won't have much time to get out, so everyone take these back to eat," An Yinan said to the three of them.

The three did not decline; given their relationship, they had long since passed the stage of being overly polite.

The four of them returned to school together, and the sky had already turned dark.

The three left their dormitory numbers and majors with An Yinan, and after entering the women's dormitory building, everyone went their separate ways.

An Yinan carried a paper bag and returned to her dormitory.

When she pushed the door open, the people in the dormitory were quiet for a moment, then those who were reading continued reading, and those who were washing up continued washing up; in short, everyone went back to what they were doing.

An Yinan handed the paper bag directly to Jiang Yun Duo.

Jiang Yun Duo stood up in a panic, "This is?"

She was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected that after An Yinan went out, she would actually bring something back for her. She didn't really care about the items themselves, but being thought of made her happy in her heart.

When Jiang Yun Duo opened the paper bag and saw the contents, she immediately gripped the bag and leaned toward An Yinan's side.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it," Jiang Yun Duo said in a low voice, handing the items over.

There was actually chocolate inside; a single piece of chocolate at the Friendship Store was very expensive, and the color of those large apples was too good—big and red—the price certainly wasn't cheap either.

She hadn't had time to look at the other things, but these two items alone were valuable enough.

An Yinan looked at her with amusement, "It's just food, I brought it specifically for you, keep it."

The young girl was in her rebellious phase, but her rebellion was only directed at her parents; she was actually quite close to An Yinan. Furthermore, she could tell that Jiang Yun Duo had a slight bit of social anxiety, only speaking with people she was familiar with, and she was the type in the dormitory who only answered when spoken to.

Jiang Yun Duo said with a blushing face, "Thank you."

An Yinan washed up and went straight to her bed, pulling the curtains shut tightly. She still lacked an ending for her freshman speech, and in less than ten minutes, her speech was finished.

In her past life, let alone a freshman speech, she had even given speeches at international fashion weeks.

"Let me tell you, there's a student next door who brought her child to school," Zhang Jia said after entering the dormitory, looking full of gossip.

"Brought a child? Then how can she attend classes?" Liu Mingxia said with a look of disbelief.

Heavens, how could someone bring a child to school? How could the school accept such a student?

It was so hard to imagine! Bringing a child to school? Just thinking about attending school with such a person made her feel uncomfortable all over; it was just too unbelievable.

"This exam didn't restrict age, and many people are already married with children. I guess the child is too young and can't be away from its mother," Zhang Jia said.

Although she was very gossipy, one could tell that Zhang Jia didn't mean to discriminate; she was just very surprised by the matter.

"My god, the exam should have had restrictions. Why go to school if you're already married? I really don't understand what the school is thinking. I thought Beijing University was the highest institution of learning, but as soon as school starts, there are so many annoying things," Liu Mingxia pouted, as if someone had offended her.

An Yinan heard this, but she didn't correct her worldview; after all, she had no obligation to do so.

She picked up her textbook and threw herself wholeheartedly into reading.

This was a new field, and since she had stepped into it, she naturally had to give it her all.

After Liu Mingxia's words fell, no one responded. Even Zhao Chunzhi, who usually fawned over her, was blushing at this moment, quietly tidying up her things without chiming in.

Liu Mingxia looked at the few people, then stomped her feet, opened the door, and left the dormitory.

Zhao Chunzhi looked at the people in the dormitory, quickly put down her things, and chased after her. She was still counting on Liu Mingxia for support in the future and couldn't afford to lose this big benefactor.

Seeing both of them run out, Zhang Jia finally spoke up, "My god, where is she a princess? She's purely a spoiled duck; why does she peck at everyone she sees?"

"It's too terrifying," Zhang Jia said, still feeling a lingering fear.

Jiang Yun Duo was slightly socially anxious, and Liu Erya had always been very quiet, doing nothing but reading books.

"That's just how our personalities are; let's tidy up and go to sleep," An Yinan said.

She had a pretty good impression of Zhang Jia; she was cheerful, generous, outgoing, and had a relatively upright set of values.

"Okay," Zhang Jia nodded.

The four of them paid no mind to those people, and An Yinan continued reading; in any case, with the bed curtains drawn, no one could see what was happening inside.
