After Ding Nan urged him many times, Li Shi finally agreed to walk around the major wholesale markets in Beijing to look for business opportunities and prepare for his part-time job in opening an online store. Taking advantage of the two weekends, the two of them went to the zoo, Sky Blue Sky, Bairong, and Dahongmen wholesale market.
He knew Hu Yu because of this online shop. In the noisy morning market of Dahongmen, Ding Nan immediately noticed the woman who looked to be in her forties and was no longer young, but was dressed in fancy clothes, among the young salesgirls who were all model figures.
There were also two salesgirls in front of the woman's shop. The two girls were wearing their own promotional items like the other shops. They shouted the sales lingo of the hot sale in front of the crowd and advertised like live models. The difference was that the woman was not like the other older shop owners who wore calm clothes and sat in the shop to count the money. Instead, she was like the salesgirls wearing trendy promotional items to show off in front of people. Although her speech and behavior were ostentatious, she occasionally raised her head and lowered her eyebrows. She still gave off a reserved and calm vibe.
This made Ding Nan take a few more glances.
It was still the warm and cold spring in March. The woman had short curly hair and was wearing a long, bright red shirt with yellow flowers on the top. She was wearing a pair of edgy leggings with a skull pattern on the bottom and flat shoes on the feet. The two legs of the pants had different patterns. One leg was pure black, and the other leg had a black pattern on the white bottom. It was very eye-catching.
Ding Nan's eyes lit up when he saw the woman's legs. He stared at them carefully for a few more minutes before looking at the shop. Most of the clothes hanging on the three walls and the bar on the open side were leggings. There were very few shirts, and most of them were trendy styles that were rarely seen on the streets. She removed the pendant on the bar and looked at it one by one. Only then did she realize that the leggings on the woman's legs were of other colors. There were rose red, sapphire blue, dark green, and light yellow. However, the black and white color of the woman's body was the most striking and beautiful. Black and white had always been a classic combination.
Ding Nan would usually flip through fashion magazines from time to time. He knew that these skull-patterned leggings were also known as pirate captain leggings. They were a versatile item for Japanese and Korean models in magazines, especially the black and white classic ones. However, they were not available online at the moment. She had a feeling that if she could make this pair of leggings more exquisite and sell them online, she would definitely be able to create a hit and earn a small sum of money.
Ignoring Li Shi's urging, she walked forward and asked,"How do I get the leggings that Sister is wearing?”The term 'get goods' was a jargon she had searched online before she went to the wholesale market. It was said that wholesale could not be said to be wholesale now. If you said that you were getting goods, you would seem like a layman. Others would definitely treat you as a retail customer and rip you off.
The woman moved her gaze from the noisy crowd to her face and looked at her gently. She said,"Thirty-five."
Ding Nan smiled and sized up the woman again."Sister, you have such a good temperament. Where are you from?”
The woman smiled and said,"I'm from Province Z in the south."
Ding Nan was really stunned. She had originally wanted to ask where the woman was from to get close to her so that she could bargain. However, she did not expect that the two of them were from the same province. At that moment, she felt closer to the woman. She said sincerely,"It's really fate. I'm from Province Z too."”
The woman's eyes lit up. She looked at her and said,"What a coincidence. Do you want to get the goods? Where do you sell them?"
"I'm going to sell it online," said Ding Nan with a smile.”
"Oh, the styles in my shop are all imitations of Han. You can look at a few more. There are a lot of people who come to my online store to get their goods.”the woman said.
"Yes, I can tell. I've taken a fancy to this pair of leggings on my sister. I want to order 100 pieces of the black and white ones first. I'll come back when they sell well. Could it be marked as Han Country's standard? What's the price?"
The woman looked around and then looked at Ding Nan. She said,"How about this? Give me an address and I'll talk to you in the afternoon. This is the morning market, so it's very busy before ten o'clock. I'll take care of other business first. What do you think?"
Ding Nan nodded. She took out a note from her bag and wrote down the address and phone number. She tore it up and handed it over. She asked for the woman's business card and learned that the woman's name was Hu Yu.
After bidding farewell to the woman, he turned around and looked at Li Shi. He was waiting three meters away, and his face was filled with impatience. She frowned slightly and walked over. The two of them went home together.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, his phone rang. Ding Nan took a look and saw that it was Hu Yu. He picked it up and knew that she was downstairs, so he quickly went downstairs to answer it.
When Ding Nan walked down the last step of the first floor and looked up to the door, his eyes immediately widened. Hu Yu seemed to have changed into a different person. She had changed from her youthful dressing style in the morning to a noble and elegant one. She was wearing a rather unique cream-white ruffled short mid-thick spring and autumn cotton top, a slim black wool skirt, and long riding boots. She stood elegantly beside the electric bike and smiled slightly.
Ding Nan could not help but be surprised that a small boss who sold clothes could have such temperament and taste. She immediately went up to him and sized him up."Sister's outfit is so elegant. It's amazing!”
Hu Yu seemed to have guessed what was on her mind. He smiled and said,"I don't look like a small business owner, do I? Actually, when I was in Province Z, I first worked as a reporter at the radio station. At that time, I was out all day interviewing and taking care of my child on my own. It was too tiring. Later on, I got tired of that kind of life and studied accounting. I started working in finance. A few years ago, when my son went to university, I felt that my burden was lighter, so I retired from work. I came to Beijing to make a living. I started working as an accountant in Beijing. I started doing business last year, less than a year ago.”
Ding Nan's heart skipped a beat. He thought for a moment and asked,"Oh, I see. Sister taking care of the child alone? " Sister Mo Fei is also…" She didn't finish her sentence and only looked at Hu Yu questioningly.
Hu Yu pushed the electric bike into the shed at the side and said,""I got divorced when my son was a few years old. It's been more than ten years.”
A feeling of sympathy rose in Ding Nan's heart. After a moment of silence, he said,"What a coincidence. We're from the same hometown and are both single parents. Me too, Sis. The person who went with me this morning was my boyfriend. Our son is still too young, so I told him that he was his biological father.”
Hu Yu's expression froze for a moment before he slowly became sorrowful. He looked at Ding Nan and said,"We sisters are really coincidental.”
Ding Nan nodded and followed her out of the car. He asked with concern,"How long will it take for Sister to come here by electric bike? Are you tired?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hu Yu's face as he said,""I have a car. I ride to exercise.”
Ding Nan felt that this question did not seem to answer the question and was a little strange. He did not think too much about it and led her upstairs.
In the house, as usual, Hang Hang was playing games on the computer in the living room while Li Shi was playing poker on the computer in the other room. Seeing that someone had entered the house, Li Shi walked over and greeted Hu Yu. Ding Nan then asked Hang Hang to call for " auntie ", so he led Hu Yu into another room and let her sit on a chair beside the coffee table. He poured her some water and the two of them sat down to chat.
"Nowadays, many domestic clothes can be sold at a much higher price if they are branded with Japanese and Korean labels and made more exquisite, right?”D?%
