Chapter 589: Five hundred eighty-four outstanding drawings

After Tangtang went to sleep that night.

Ji Pianran formally said to Gu Chen, "From now on, tell me anything about Tangtang as soon as it happens. I’m her real mother; how could you not discuss it with me first!"

Today, she seemed a bit upset, even though Gu Chen didn’t know what she was upset about.

"Okay, I get it. Next time I will tell you immediately.

But you were at work, and telling you then would have affected your job."

A hint of skepticism shone in Gu Chen’s eyes.

However, Ji Pianran immediately asserted, "Which is more important, work or Tangtang? Don’t you know which matters more?"

Seeing that Ji Pianran said so, Gu Chen no longer argued.

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you from now on."

"Alright, my dear wife, you must be tired from a day’s work; come, let me give you a massage."

He quickly assumed his husbandly duties and began to coax Ji Pianran.

The effect was quite good; just a moment ago, Ji Pianran looked as if she was about to explode in anger.

But now, Ji Pianran once again clung to Gu Chen, resuming her demeanor of a sweet, dependent wife.

Time quickly passed, and three days went by.

In these three days, Gu Chen didn’t do anything else.

Besides his routine tasks, he also went out of his way to study the Forest Series more closely.

After three days, he finally completed the drawing.

Looking at the drawing, he felt it bore some resemblance to the real Forest Series.

He was very satisfied with his work.

The next step was to hand over the drawing to the workers.

Of course, not ordinary workers, but real tailor craftsmen.

Every piece of clothing for this brand was made from top-tier materials.

For outerwear like this, top-grade wool was indispensable.

But Gu Chen had no intention of using such expensive materials for a finished garment.

Not to mention that nowadays in Chuan City, getting top-tier wool could only be done through overseas ordering.

Or perhaps by looking in some first-tier cities.

Even if he could get those materials, after making the garment, the cost would increase substantially.

What he aimed to create was affordable luxury; using top-tier materials would turn it into high-end luxury.

Still, the selection of materials necessarily required utmost caution.

He drove around Chuan City, hoping to find some suitable high-quality fabric.

The types sold at those small sundry shops were extremely ordinary fabrics.

They were the kind the older generation loved, the kind they could even sew into clothing themselves on a sewing machine.

Gu Chen searched Chuan City for an entire afternoon.

Finally, he found a somewhat higher quality coarse-woolen fabric in a tailor shop, by chance.

Gu Chen had found this shop based on other tailors’ recommendations.

All the tailors in Chuan City knew Song Zhiyong, the owner of Zhiyong Tailor Shop.

His favorite pastime was collecting various fabrics, and he even spent more money on them than he earned in the shop.

After parking his car, Gu Chen walked into the shop.

Upon his entrance, the shop owner Song Zhiyong also stood up and asked Gu Chen, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Gu Chen didn’t directly answer his question.

Instead, he looked at the fabrics carefully hung and encased in glass on the walls of the shop.

"Are these fabrics for sale?" Gu Chen asked him.

Following Gu Chen’s gaze, he immediately saw his own collection of senior-level wool, which he was most proud of.

"I’m sorry, those are my personal collection and not for sale," he decisively rejected Gu Chen.

"The combination of synthetic fibers and wool is not meant for collection; the only way to truly realize its value is to turn it into a perfect product."

Gu Chen spoke slowly while looking at the fabric.

After he said this, Zhi Yong’s eyes were fixed on him.

"A perfect product? No one would use this type of fabric to make clothes, and even if they did, they’d only manage to create something quite ordinary with no highlights."

Zhi Yong had been a tailor here for so many years and had seen all kinds of clients.

At the beginning, he had a sliver of hope.

But now, that hope had long vanished.

He no longer believed that anyone could understand the true purpose of these fabrics.

"A perfect work needs an excellent design and a tailor who understands that design.

I just happen to have a design with me. Sell me the fabric, and I’ll find a top-level tailor.

Once the piece is made, I’ll publicize your shop’s name along with yours," Gu Chen said to Zhi Yong formally.

However, after he finished speaking, skepticism was the only thing in Zhi Yong’s eyes regarding Gu Chen.

"An excellent design?" He didn’t believe a word Gu Chen said.

Having stayed in Chuan City for so many years, it wasn’t like brands hadn’t approached him before.

Being the youngest yet most senior tailor in Chuan City, he was the first choice for many local tycoons.

He had made custom suits for numerous tycoons.

However, these suits were more or less the same.

Black, clean, three-dimensional.

These three keywords he knew by heart.

Serving those tycoons didn’t require any other elements.

The most important thing was the color black, as any black shade would do.

"Show me your designs. If it’s really as you say, I might even give you my stuff for free," he told Gu Chen, his expression serious, not just bragging to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen showed him the printed designs.

Though the prints came out in black and white,

the moment Song Zhi Yong held the designs, he recognized the uniqueness of the coat.

He carefully examined every step of the coat’s deconstruction on the design.

Gradually, his eyes began to blaze with fervor.

"Whose designs are these?" He inquired of Gu Chen.

"Mine," Gu Chen responded directly to his question.

Realizing that the designs were from Gu Chen, he was filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"You mean to say all these designs are the work of just one person, you?" He confirmed again with Gu Chen.

Upon receiving a definite answer, his eyes showed only boundless shock.

Having been in the country for so many years, he had never seen designs like these.

Moreover, the format of Gu Chen’s designs followed the standard of those from overseas, not those hastily drawn on a piece of paper.

"Did you study abroad?" He asked Gu Chen.

"Sort of," Gu Chen thought using study abroad as a cover for himself wasn’t bad.
