On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

"The ancestors of our town were originally in the Royal Clothing Bureau, specializing in buttoning. Later, the royal family disappeared, but this craft became the survival skill of our ancestors. Buttoning was very popular in the past, but later, with the development of the times, clothing styles became more and more fashionable, and not many people needed buttoning, so this craft gradually declined. Until now, the only people in the whole town who can button are a few grandmothers, and even my mother is not very good at it. I was raised by my grandmother, who taught me how to button since I was a child. I really like it. The buttons are so beautiful. It would be a pity if such a beautiful craft disappeared. So I gathered the girls in our town together, wanting to pass on our craft."

Yun Ya took them in for a tour and introduced them to the origin of their town!

Su Jinchu had only seen some real objects and pictures sent to her by Yun Ya before.

Only after coming here did I see so many real things.

The buttons of various colors and shapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects, are so lifelike that she doesn’t know how they did it.

Just some simple scraps of cloth can allow them to weave such beautiful buttons?

"This is not just a decoration, it's also a work of art." Su Jinchu exclaimed sincerely!

Yun Ya said, "Yes, I also think it is a work of art. To be honest with you, President Su, I have held exhibitions in the past to let more people know about this craft, and displayed these buttons for others to see. However, the effect was minimal. Although everyone liked it and thought it looked good, as a collectible, people felt it had no value. As a decoration, they felt it conflicted with current clothing styles. Anyway, it became a waste, and it was a pity to throw it away. Gradually, the people in the town lost their confidence in this craft, and everyone went their separate ways to find new ways to survive. Only I refused to give up and still persisted. But it is difficult to maintain this craft with my own strength alone."

"Although I don't know much about this, I often see women wearing cheongsams at banquets, with these buttons embellished on them. Since there is a market demand, it will not disappear completely." Gu Mingchen interrupted.

Yun Ya said, "Assistant Gu is right. Some wealthy ladies like to wear cheongsams and use these buttons. It is because of this that I can run this training class and pass on this craft. However, the money is limited. Even if the price is high, only a small number of people will use it. What I want is to carry forward the business, not just to survive."

"Have you considered mass production?" Gu Mingchen asked.

Yun Ya said: "It is called craftsmanship because it is woven bit by bit by hand. If it is mass-produced by machines, what is the difference between it and disappearing completely? Someone approached me about cooperation, but I refused."

"Because of faith?" Gu Mingchen chuckled.

There was a flash of contempt in his eyes, as if he disapproved of her so-called beliefs.

Yun Ya was a little angry. If he wasn't someone brought by Su Jinchu, she would probably have been unable to help but retort to him.

"Boss Su, is this really your assistant?"

While Gu Mingchen went to the bathroom, Yun Ya whispered to Su Jinchu.

In fact, Su Jinchu also understood something from Gu Mingchen's expression just now, but it was not easy to explain to Yun Ya in front of him.

Now that Yun Ya took the initiative to ask, he answered awkwardly: "He is not an assistant, but the big boss who invested in us. He is Gu Mingchen, the chairman of Gu Group. I brought him here to inspect this time, and I also wanted him to see the situation here. I didn't expect him... But don't worry, he won't withdraw his investment as long as I am here."

When Yun Ya heard the word "big boss", she was dumbfounded!

I thought he was not an important person, but I didn’t expect him to be the boss of Gu Group?

Although from their last conversation, she had roughly guessed that Su Jinchu had a complicated relationship with the big boss of Gu Group.

But she also knew that businessmen valued profits.

If Gu Mingchen is not satisfied with their craftsmanship, then the investment will be in jeopardy.

"I didn't know he was the big boss. Mr. Su, you saw his expression just now, didn't you? He doesn't seem optimistic about our craft. Do you think he will change his mind?"

"I've already said that he won't withdraw his investment as long as I'm here." Su Jinchu said confidently.

In fact, she was not confident because she was a little worried about Gu Mingchen's dissatisfaction.

But she didn't want to put pressure on Yun Ya. She had finally given her hope, and she didn't want to break it.

"But……"

Yun Ya was still very worried, frowning and trying hard to think about what to do.

"Have you ever considered making a head flower?"

Gu Mingchen came back, picked up a peony-shaped button, and placed it on Su Jinchu's head. He showed a satisfied expression and asked Yun Ya again.

If she didn't know his identity, Yun Ya would definitely confront him.

Now that I know, how dare I be disrespectful?

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, this is a button. It's an ornament on the clothes, not on the head."

"Stubborn and pedantic. Now I understand why your craft has been lost." Gu Mingchen said, shaking his head.

Yun Ya showed an anxious expression and looked at Su Jinchu anxiously.

When he said this, did he mean he was completely disappointed and was planning not to invest anymore?

"Don't say that. Craftsmen's faith is also a respect for their craft." Su Jinchu explained to Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen saw Yun Ya's expression and guessed that she had misunderstood.

However, he did not want to explain, and just said: "I understand, but I can't comprehend it. But don't worry, if the plan is approved, I will not change my mind about the investment. But as an investor, I still hope to gain both fame and fortune. Since making head flowers is not possible, making brooches should be okay! With one more sales channel, your craft can be seen, accepted, and passed on by the world."

"Head flowers are not okay, but brooches are okay. It's just that we have never made them. And even if we did... no one would be willing to wear them! Although they are decorations on clothes, wouldn't it be strange to use buttons as brooches?" Yun Ya said embarrassedly.

Gu Mingchen picked out a black and white red-crowned crane from the pile of buttons and said, "Since you call me Mr. Gu instead of Assistant Gu, it seems that you already know my identity. I will give you an hour to make it into a brooch, and I am willing to be the first person to wear it."

"Ah?" Yun Ya was surprised.

I want to ask, are you so brave?

Aren’t you afraid that others will look at you strangely? Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed?

But he didn't look like he was joking. He was a big boss and his bread and butter. What could be wrong with his bread and butter?

So he quickly agreed and went out to find someone to make the button into a brooch.

"You don't think this project is promising?" Su Jinchu asked.

Gu Mingchen said: "I have never been optimistic about it, but if you want to do it, I support you."

Su Jinchu bit her lip. They were all not optimistic about this project. Was she really wrong?

But when she came here and saw so many lifelike buttons of different shapes, she felt that her decision was right.

Although this world is often broken and profit-driven, there will always be people who need to mend things and be selfless!

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let your investment go to waste."

With a firm look in her eyes, she assured him solemnly.
