Chapter 221: Compensation
Wei Xiwen took the sample clothing catalog, looking at it with great interest. When she saw a vintage-style dress, she quickly said, "I want to order this dress."
The others saw the dress Wei Xiwen selected and couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "Xiwen made a good choice. The skirt has a lotus flower embroidery, right? It looks very unique and should suit you well."
Yiyi saw this and said, "All the clothes in this catalog have sample dresses. If you’re serious about a custom order, you can try it on first."
"Really? So we can try them on? Can we try them now?"
Seeing the expectant look on Wei Xiwen’s face, Yiyi smiled and said, "Of course you can."
The others also went with Wei Xiwen to look at the clothes. Even An Xueqing, who was usually quiet, was somewhat tempted when they saw so many beautiful and novel clothes.
Yiyi noted this and said, "If you guys find clothes you like, go ahead and try them on. I think you all have great figures, so you can also help promote our clothing store."
Hearing Yiyi’s final comment, the others no longer hesitated and picked the clothes they fancied, heading to the fitting room.
Wei Xiwen was the first to come out, and Yiyi couldn’t help but compliment her upon seeing her in the long dress, "You look great."
The beauty with flowing hair wearing an elegant long dress left a striking impression, just like a gentle and graceful beauty.
Hearing Yiyi’s praise, Wei Xiwen felt a bit shy but also thought she looked good, "It’s this dress that’s beautiful. I didn’t expect it to suit my complexion so well."
"You were fair to begin with, so lake green makes you look even fairer," Yiyi said candidly.
As they talked, the others came out one by one.
"Wow... it feels like we’ve transformed."
Tao Cuizhu looked at herself, then at the others, and felt everyone had become more attractive.
However, Yiyi glanced at Cao Panpan and felt something was a bit off, "Panpan, why don’t you try this set?" With that, Yiyi handed her a set of pants.
Cao Panpan returned to the fitting room to change out of her dress, and when she came out again, all eyes were on her.
"Wow... Panpan, you look so handsome and beautiful." Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but circle Cao Panpan, full of admiration.
Wei Xiwen nodded and said, "Panpan truly picked the right outfit. It looks really good."
Cao Panpan felt much more at ease in pants. She looked in the mirror and nodded, "I think this outfit looks better too. Yiyi’s taste is indeed good."
Yiyi heard this and laughed, "It’s just that this style suits you."
Finally, she suggested to everyone, "Let me put on some makeup for you all."
Wei Xiwen was the first to agree, "Sure."
Yiyi was quick, and soon she had applied makeup for everyone.
"Yiyi, I never thought you could do makeup, and do it so well," Tao Cuizhu looked at her transformed self and found it incredible. She looked great with the makeup, completely losing her previous rustic feel.
Being from the countryside, her attire inevitably carried a bit of country style. But after wearing beautiful dresses and putting on some makeup, she now looked like a city girl.
Wei Xiwen usually dressed up, but compared to Yiyi’s skills, she fell short. She felt especially beautiful today, "Yiyi, can you teach me how to do makeup next time?"
Yiyi hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but then smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"Then..."
In a red dress, Feng Yudan saw Wei Xiwen about to say something and quickly stopped her, "Enough, Xiwen. You can chat with Yiyi anytime. Let’s hurry up and go outside now. Auntie’s clothing store just opened today, and since we’re wearing so many beautiful outfits, we should help her promote it. Who knows, maybe others will see us looking good and want custom pieces too."
"Indeed."
An Xueqing nodded in agreement.
Wei Xiwen swallowed her unspoken words, quickly turning to Yiyi, "Right, let’s go outside now. Auntie’s outfits with Yiyi’s makeup are simply perfect. Others are bound to think they look great."
Sure enough, when they stepped out, others were amazed.
"Are the clothes these girls are wearing from the custom line in the store? They’re really beautiful."
"Yes, I like the flaming red long dress worn by the girl with the almond-shaped eyes. It’s so beautiful."
"I prefer the lake green dress with the lotus embroidery. It looks so clean and refreshing, particularly with a sense of charm."
"I think the pant set is nice too. The asymmetric tunic is simple and elegant, and the wide-leg pants make for a dashing look, suitable for someone with short hair like mine."
"That’s true."
Some also preferred the white cheongsam tulle dress worn by An Xueqing, and many liked the orange-red cape dress on Tao Cuizhu.
In the end, outfits worn by this group ended up being ordered the most for custom pieces. By the end of the morning, Ding Yuejun had already received fifty orders, much to her surprise.
"Yiyi, thank you so much for your classmates today. Their outfits provided a clearer view of the dresses, helping many to decide on custom orders. Let’s treat your classmates to a nice meal later."
Tao Cuizhu quickly said, "Auntie, there’s no need. We were happy to help, and we got to wear such beautiful clothes, which is its own pleasure."
"Right."
The others smiled and nodded in agreement.
Wei Xiwen also quickly ordered a set, "Auntie, I’ll order the dress I’m wearing today. Do you need to take measurements?" She had seen Ding Yuejun taking measurements for those who ordered custom garments.
Ding Yuejun waved her hand and said, "No need, no need. The clothes you’re wearing today are gifts to you. I’ll make any necessary size adjustments. If they fit, just take them."
"Auntie, that’s not right. We can’t just take your clothes for free," Wei Xiwen hadn’t intended to take anything without paying.
Tao Cuizhu and the others also nodded, planning to change out of their outfits immediately. They had listened carefully earlier, knowing that each outfit, even the cheapest, cost several hundred, far beyond what these poor students could afford, and certainly not something they could accept for free.
Ding Yuejun laughed and said, "These clothes aren’t free. Consider them your modeling fees for today. Because of you, business was great today. Think of the dresses as your reward."
