Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

After Ah Xi was fired, Xia Jinting's life gradually became easier.

Even the buddy Ah Zhong's attitude towards him has improved a lot, he probably sees clearly that he is a vengeful lord, and dare not provoke him easily.

When Mrs. Chen learned that he had found a job in a suit shop and was going to move out of Xia's house, she burst out of anger.

However, Xia Jinting has made up his mind and is extremely efficient. In a few days, he has already packed his luggage and moved into Haotai's Datong shop.

At first it was always uncomfortable, whether it was in the previous life or after time travel, Xia Jinting has long been used to sleeping alone.

The Datong shop was hard and crowded, and it was also full of snoring noises one after another, which really made Xia Jinting uncomfortable for a long time.

Fortunately, Xia Jinting was stubborn, but he gradually got used to it.

Life is very peaceful, Xia Jinting is mainly responsible for the chores of sweeping the floor and cleaning windows, and when there are many customers in the store, he will also help entertain the guests.

Haotai's customers are mainly ordinary people from all walks of life, such as the reporters in the newspaper office and the staff in the bank. Most of these people earn their salaries dutifully and run around all day for their livelihood.

Their economic conditions are not rich, but suits are necessary for daily work. Therefore, the quality and price of suits are what they care about most, and design elements such as style and color matching come second.

Therefore, Haotai's suits are basically of the same shape, with lapel collars and double-breasted tailoring, and the color matching is relatively low-key.

This day was the off-season for suit sales, but the shop assistants and apprentices woke up early to organize the hot-selling items and wait for the painters and models to come to the door.

Hanging billboards is one of the means of promotion. The personable portraits of models on the brand can attract passers-by and deepen the impression of others on the store.

In order to improve the publicity effect, this time Haotai paid a lot of money to hire Qi Xuan, a famous painter in Haicheng, to paint the billboards, and the model is Jin Shaoyuan, a popular movie star known as "Jade Faced Lord".

Xia Jinting glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was two o'clock, and Qi Xuan walked in with his painting tools.One point is not too much, one point is not much, the time is just right.

The manager approached with a smile on his face, but Qi Xuan didn't respond at all, and just spread out the drawing paper and prepared his pen and ink.When everything was ready, two words popped out of his mouth: "Where is the person?"

Needless to say, he was asking about today's models.

The steward smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Jin was delayed on the way, please wait a moment."

The phrase "wait a moment" was obviously mixed with water, the tea in front of Qi Xuan was refilled again and again, but Jin Shaoyuan never saw anyone.

Qi Xuan's face darkened visibly to the naked eye, and there was low air pressure all over his body, as if he was about to explode at any time.

However, Ah Zhong didn't have any discernment, so he took the initiative to lean forward: "Sir, try it, this is the best Longjing..."

Qi Xuan raised her head abruptly, knocked the white porcelain cup to the ground, sprinkled the freshly brewed tea soup thoroughly, and all the guys around were dumbfounded.

"It's time for a cup of tea, if people don't come yet, you can hire someone else!" Qi Xuan gave an ultimatum with a straight face.

There were many active clerks who wanted to be courteous. Seeing Ah Zhong's miserable scene covered in tea, they all knew that Qi Xuan was a violent master, and no one dared to approach him for a while.

Xia Jinting doesn't think Qi Xuan has a bad temper, he has been in the mall for a long time, and he knows the importance of punctuality.

Unlike the fellows who were dedicated to being courteous, Xia Jinting stood in the back row, some distance away from Qi Xuan, just in time to see every move of the great painter.

He found that Qi Xuan didn't like to drink tea, the buddy refilled the tea many times, but always poured it cold, and took it out when it was cold, Qi Xuan rarely drank it.

It was Qi Xuan's gesture of holding the teacup that caught Xia Jinting's heart.

The teacup is a porcelain cup with a large handle, similar in shape to a modern mug. Most people pass their index and middle fingers through the handle when holding a cup, but Qi Xuan is an exception.

He held the ear of the cup with his thumb and forefinger to hold it up. He straightened his back when drinking tea, which was a habit he had developed from drinking coffee all the year round.

Xia Jinting was thinking about it when someone stabbed him in the waist. The steward stuffed the money into his hand and ordered in a low voice, "Hurry up and buy some pastries to give Mr. Qi a cushion. Hurry up!"

Xia Jinting took the task, thought of Qi Xuan's little habits just now, and had an idea in his heart.

He went out of the store and walked straight to the coffee shop across the road, but there was a piercing whistle in his ear.

An old lady in a dark blue cheongsam stood in the middle of the road for some reason, her body crumbling.

On her left side, there was a speeding car. The driver of the car kept honking, but the old lady didn't seem to hear it.

"Be careful!" Xia Jinting strode forward and took him aside, only to find that the old lady's forehead was covered in cold sweat and her face was very ugly.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Jinting immediately decided, "I'll take you to the hospital, you can hold on for a while."

Just as he was calling for a rickshaw, the old lady said in a trembling voice: "No...no need, I have the medicine with me, it's in the bag."

Only then did Xia Jinting notice the old lady's double-sided embroidered handbag, and hurriedly took out the pills from it.Xia Jinting recognized the dense German characters on the bottle, and it contained stomach medicine.

Xia Jinting helped him to the coffee shop, specially ordered a cup of warm water, and watched him take the medicine with his own eyes.After a while, the old lady finally looked better.

She looked at the young man who was busy packing coffee, and took out a check from her handbag: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have to confess my old bone."

Xia Jinting was shocked when he saw the amount on the check.

When Xia Jinting saw the extraordinary embroidered handbag, Xia Jinting knew that the old lady was valuable, but he didn't expect her to be so generous. The number on the check was enough to open a clothing store.

However, facing the huge temptation, Xia Jinting flatly refused: "I can't take this money, please take it back."

Seeing that he insisted on not accepting him, Mrs. Jiang's eyes became more appreciative, and the smile on her face became more loving.During the chat, she learned that Xia Jinting was working as an apprentice in Haotai suit shop.

Seeing that the old lady always wants to repay, Xia Jinting also joked casually: "If you want to thank me, why not go to Haotai to make some suits, so that I can get more business."

This is of course a joke, looking at the cheongsam worn by the old lady, the material and stitches are all high-quality, she definitely doesn't like Haotai's stuff.

But the old lady accepted it with a smile, her manners were elegant and decent, and no one could fault it.

Xia Jinting didn't take this accidental episode to heart, he has more important tasks right now.

After packing the coffee and pastries, Xia Jinting hurried back to Haotai, and before entering the door, he heard an angry shout: "This is unreasonable! You go back and tell Jin Shaoyuan that I, Qi, will never do his business from now on!"

Xia Jinting saw a person standing at the door, listening to the training with his back hunched over, after a little inquiring, he finally figured out why this tense situation came about.

It turned out that Jin Shaoyuan didn't care much about Haotai's invitation because of his growing reputation.It was delayed until just now, and then someone was sent to ask for leave, saying that he was not feeling well today, and he would come back another day. "

As soon as this remark came out, Qi Xuan immediately became angry, and even said harshly that he would never make a portrait of Jin Shaoyuan again.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuan had packed up his tools and was about to leave with a stinky face.

The manager was in a hurry, afraid of offending the "magic pen Ma Liang", when he saw Xia Jinting came back, he hurriedly gave him a push.

Xia Jinting was pushed in front of Qi Xuan, facing Qi Xuan who might explode at any time, he chose to overcome rigidity with softness.

It is a compulsory course for every fashion designer to appease the anxious mood of customers and make customers believe in themselves.Xia Jinting stretched out his hand to stop Qi Xuan, and said softly, "Sir, be careful under your feet, there are broken pieces of porcelain."

Qi Xuan finally looked at him, and his eyes fell on the coffee in his hand.

The strong aroma of coffee made Qi Xuan's expression soften, and he said coldly, "What are you carrying?"

"It's coffee and pastries, specially prepared for you." When Xia Jinting spoke, there was always a three-point smile on his face, as if such a big thing was not worth mentioning when it came to him.

Seeing that Qi Xuan was silent, Xia Jinting calmly put the things on the table: "I don't know what flavor sir likes, I asked the store for milk and sugar, would you like to try it?"

Mingming and Ah Zhong said the same thing, but when Xia Jinting said it, it made people feel very comfortable.

Qi Xuan was holding a small spoon and stirring the coffee in the cup, but her tricky gaze stayed on Xia Jinting's face.

The young man's appearance is handsome yet charming, and his temperament is gentle and calm. In Qi Xuan's opinion, he is better than the defiant Jin Shaoyuan.

In an instant, Qi Xuan had an idea in his mind, he pointed at Xia Jinting and said, "It's you."

Xia Jinting just rushed the ducks to the shelves and became the model that Qi Xuan kissed.He put on his suit, dressed up a bit, and when he walked out of the fitting room, he almost blinded everyone's eyes.

At this moment, Xia Jinting looked like a penniless apprentice, but a distinguished nobleman.Haotai's ordinary suit also looked different on him.

Qi Xuan was just imagining it, but he didn't expect the final effect to be so stunning. He quickly spread out the drawing paper and wrote calmly.

Xia Jinting was well versed in the principles of being a model, so he chose a comfortable position and stood there, except for a pair of eyes, nothing else moved.

Different from traditional Chinese meticulous painting, Qi Xuan's painting skills are more Western, with realistic portraits and bright colors, especially the eyes of the people in the painting, which seem to be able to speak, very agile.

This painting lasted for two or three hours, Xia Jinting stood stiffly, and finally heard Qi Xuan's "Okay", and was completely liberated.

Qi Xuan is worthy of his reputation, the characters in his works are very similar to Xia Jinting, with two points of embellishment, it makes people look straight.

The steward happily took the drawing to print, Qi Xuan picked up the empty cup, and said to Xia Jinting: "Thank you for the coffee."

The next day, the billboard was hung on Haotai's outer wall. The youth in the painting was in a neat suit and had picturesque eyes, which attracted passers-by to stop frequently.
