Soon, Tang Ting drove her car and brought Liu Ye to a tall building.
This building has a total of twenty-four floors.
A few decades later, this would not be surprising at all.
But in Shanghai in the 1980s, this 24-story building was the tallest building in Shanghai.
Tang Ting stopped the car at the entrance of the building, and immediately a young man came up to them and said hello to them.
Tang Ting gave him the key directly and left with Liu Ye minding her own business.
It looks like it should be the "parking boy".
Unexpectedly, in the 1980s, there were already such good services.
As he approached the building, Liu Ye saw the gold-lettered signboard above - Jingjiang International Hotel.
There were many blond and blue-eyed foreigners walking in and out of the hotel.
No wonder the service is so good! It turns out to be a hotel for foreign guests.
In the 1980s, hotels that could accommodate foreign guests required special approval from superiors.
The grade can be said to be very high.
Tang Ting took Liu Ye into the building and took the elevator to a Chinese restaurant on the twentieth floor.
The outside of this restaurant is entirely covered with floor-to-ceiling glass. Tang Ting and Liu Ye sit against the glass and can see most of Shanghai's scenery when they lower their heads.
Today's Shanghai is still very shabby, with old houses everywhere, and there is no hint of what it will look like in the future as an international metropolis.
But Liuye knew that this city would develop rapidly, and the speed of development would make the whole world stunned.
"Ms. Tang, you said you invited me to dinner before, but you wanted my help with something. I don't know what I can do for you?"
Liuye raised his eyes and looked at the elegant and reserved Tang Ting in front of him, and asked in confusion.
What does this young lady from a wealthy family need help from a little person like her?
"That's it...ahem~~"
It seemed a little difficult to speak, so Tang Ting deliberately cleared her throat.
"I want you to be my partner!"
Tang Ting looked at the willow leaves with burning eyes, the passion contained in them almost burned the willow leaves.
"Me? Partner?"
Liu Ye's eyes widened in disbelief, and he pointed at himself with his index finger, as if asking Tang Ting: Have you made a mistake?
"Yes, I invite you to be my partner."
"But……"
"Don't refuse me yet. Listen to what I have to say first."
Before Liu Ye could speak, Tang Ting interrupted her.
Liu Ye had no choice but to nod, letting her speak first.
"I opened a clothing store. The clothes, jewelry and bags in the clothing store are obviously the most popular in foreign countries, but for some reason, the business has not been very good. In the past two months, the business has been bleak. If I hadn't used my private money to advance
Yes, it will close down a long time ago."
"I hope you can be my partner and we can run this store together."
Tang Ting looked straight at Willow Ye and spoke very sincerely.
"Ms. Tang, why would someone with your status want to find someone like me as a partner?"
Hearing the reasons given by Tang Ting, Liu Ye's doubts became even more serious.
"Liuye, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are actually very good! To be honest, I didn't plan to invite you to be my partner at first. I just hoped that you would agree to store the knitting bags in my shop for sale."
Before driving away from the commercial housing sales department, Tang Ting only saw woven bags made of willow leaves.
However, after an in-depth chat with Liu Ye, Tang Ting was impressed by her fashion ideas.
He immediately changed his mind and decided to invite her to become his partner.
"However, what you said along the way made me see different qualities in you. What you told was even more advanced than what my university professor taught."
Liu Ye was flattered by Tang Ting's words.
It seems that you didn’t say anything outrageous along the way, right?
I just complained to Tang Ting about the so-called fashion nowadays - afro, toad mirror, bell-bottom pants...
Why did she decide that she wanted to be her own partner?
"Ms. Tang, I don't even know if I have the ability to become your partner..."
Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said weakly.
Apart from her experience working in a fashion company in her previous life, she knew nothing about fashion.
"Liu Ye, please answer me a question first. What do you think is fashion?"
Tang Ting did not answer Liu Ye's words directly, but asked her a somewhat strange question.
"Hmm~~ I don't really understand what fashion is. I just think that everyone should see beautiful things and share what they think is beautiful."
Liuye thought for a moment and recalled her original intention of making hair ties and hairpins. She just felt that the ones sold in New World Department Store were too ugly. She hoped that everyone could use better-looking hairpins and hairpins.
"That's right! That's what I thought!"
As soon as Liu Ye finished speaking, Tang Ting clapped her palms excitedly, her eyes filled with approval.
Her thoughts coincided with Willow Ye's.
After graduating from college, she could have stayed and worked in a large European company, or she could have accepted her father's arrangement and joined her family's company.
However, she chose to return to Shanghai and opened a shop.
It’s because she hopes to bring beautiful things from abroad back to Shanghai so that everyone can see more “beauty”.
However, so far, the dismal business in her store indicates that she has failed.
"Liu Ye, come to my store! Be my partner!"
Tang Ting once again invited Liu Ye.
"I can't do it..."
Liuye bowed his hands with a look of rejection.
She didn't come from a major, how could she take on such an important responsibility?
"You can do it! You must be able to do it! I believe in you! You don't know that the two woven bags I bought from you last time were sold in my shop in less than a morning."
It is difficult to sell one item in Tang Ting's shop in ten and a half months.
Those two woven bags were sold out in just one morning, which is enough to illustrate Liuye's ability.
"I just did it casually."
Willow Ye responded humbly.
"Everything you make sells so well. If you are serious about it, you don't mean to become popular throughout Shanghai!"
Tang Ting looked at the willow leaves with bright eyes.
Faced with such a look, Liu Ye couldn't resist it at all.
"Ms. Tang, if you think it's okay, why don't you take me to your store to have a look first?"
Liu Ye did not agree immediately, but had to consider it carefully.
If you can have your own shop, it would be much better than setting up a stall.
Liu Ye has always thought that when she saves enough money, she must open a store of her own.
Now, with such a good opportunity in front of her, she would naturally not miss it.
But before agreeing to Tang Ting, she wanted to see with her own eyes why Tang Ting's shop was in such poor business.
"Of course! My store is not far away. Let's go there after dinner."
