Chapter 434: Urging Marriage
Therefore, among the groups Qin Xiangnuan belongs to and the previous ones, none caught a good trend. They were not assigned good jobs by the state, so nowadays, university students all have to rely on their efforts. However, it’s not yet the year two thousand, so there are still many opportunities for university students to choose from, and it’s very easy to find jobs.
Qin Xiangnuan, inherently an entrepreneurial type, thus did not actively seek a job. After receiving her diploma, she looked around everywhere for a suitable storefront, whether it was an internet cafe or small snack businesses, none of these were what she truly wanted to pursue.
She liked fashion, particularly trendy, stylish clothes. Therefore, her lifelong dream had always been to become a fashion designer. She wanted to create beautiful garments with her own two hands, opting for uniqueness over mass production.
Thus, choosing the right storefront was crucial. Current property prices were still low, so now was the time to grab her favored spot. Fortunately, she had quite a sum of money on hand, enough to secure the storefront she desired. After spending several days scouting, she decided on a building still under construction near the internet cafe. Once completed, this building would be in the heart of Capital City, famous for its hustle and bustle. Although it couldn’t compare to the skyscrapers that were to be built in the years to come, it had indeed been the center of attention in recent decades.
However, the building would not be completed until the second half of next year. Qin Xiangnuan was set on this location and wasn’t in a rush. At least having something to show was a priority. Hence, in the following days after returning from school, she had hardly been idle, spending her time in the system, using this period to craft clothes.
The second half of the year was approaching autumn and winter, so her task was to create autumn and winter clothing. This wasn’t difficult for her, with three years of university experience and decades of prior experience in fashion. With her skillful hands, whether in terms of style or color, she could create popular designs. Previously, when Jian Zhiqing wore clothes she made, people would chase him down to ask where he bought them. When she told them she made the garments herself, some even requested to commission outfits, but back then Qin Xiangnuan hadn’t considered turning this into a business. Now that she had graduated, she could finally revisit her true passion. Combining hobby and work was indeed a great pleasure in life.
She spent plenty of time within the system every day. Most of the fabrics were wholesaled in bulk from outside, all of good quality. She transformed these fabrics into various sizes using her pattern making skills, all crafted by her hands.
It’s fair to say, she learned a lot in her three years at university. Techniques like pattern drafting, which would have required her to measure and cut each piece individually in the past, could now be easily calculated from a single drawing, which was extremely convenient.
Her days were filled with busyness and contentment, usually making clothes at home, helping Granny Lu with cooking, and playing with Conghua and Congtou. Not having to attend school was quite relaxing, although it came with its own set of annoyances.
For instance, the marriage pressure from Granny Lu, citing that she was not getting any younger. Qin Xiangyang already had a child, and now only she was left. For girls, being well-educated is less important than marrying well. Now that Qin Xiangnuan had graduated, it was time for her to consider marriage. Plus, Jian Zhiqing was also not getting any younger; she couldn’t keep delaying his life.
