Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

While Chen Dong was busy with matters related to Xiaochi Motors, his wife Zhang Yi, along with Chen Lianxiang, Zeng Xia, and Elena, traveled around Tuocheng and other places to visit Chaozhou embroidery artisans.

Zeng Xia has transferred her work relationship from Nanshan County Cotton Clothing Factory to Guangdong Food Factory. These days, she has been taken care of by Zhang Yi and helped look after Xiao Huiyi.

The "Angel" Clothing Company has been officially established. With Chen Dong's connections, the "Angel" Clothing Company does not need to be jointly operated with other entities and is entirely owned by Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi also boldly invested five million US dollars to reallocate a piece of land in Lianzhai Village to build a factory and dormitory building.

As for equipment, Zhang Yi invested without regard to cost, purchasing many cutting-edge electronic embroidery and printing devices from the system, and also inspecting several cotton fabric factories in Tuocheng and signing supply agreements.

At this moment, Zhang Yi and his group drove their Mercedes-Benz 450 and parked it in front of a tailor shop in Zhao'an County, Tuocheng. The shop was located on an old street in the old town of Zhao'an County. The Mercedes-Benz 450 blocked half of the already narrow street when it stopped.

Passersby were all very curious as Zhang Yi and his group got out of the car. Ma Xiuyun, Deng Hongxia, and several other female bodyguards got out of the van behind them and stopped the curious onlookers from getting too close.

"Who are you?"

The old man in the tailor shop greeted the group of people who entered with a smile, noting their fashionable attire. Zeng Xia returned the smile, saying, "Hello, uncle. We were referred by the Zhao'an County Bureau of Industry and Commerce. We heard that you sell Chaozhou embroidery products here, so we came to take a look."

Zeng Xia was talking to the old man, while Zhang Yi and Elena had already started looking at the clothes. Chen Lianxiang followed behind the two of them, carrying little Huiyi. Little Huiyi waved her chubby little hands and babbled. Perhaps it was the eye-catching patterns on the clothes hanging on the hanger that attracted the little one's attention.

Elena walked up to a girl who was embroidering a floral pattern. The girl was so focused that she didn't notice Elena and the others' arrival. She continued to embroider, her needle flying, and the floral pattern she had already outlined began to emerge from her hands.

The flowers and leaves were vividly colored, and butterflies fluttered around the branches, appearing as if they were alive before Zhang Yi and the others. Elena couldn't help but cover her mouth, not daring to exclaim, for fear of disturbing the butterflies in the embroidery.

"This is simply a work of art!"

Elena leaned close to Zhang Yi's ear and whispered her excitement in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I've seen similar embroidery in Milan, but none of them have given me such a powerful shock. It's noble and elegant, with a touch of antiquity!"

"Then what do you think about letting her join our Angels pattern design team and participate in the pattern making of our clothing?" Zhang Yi also asked Elena's opinion in a low voice.

Elena nodded. At that moment, Zeng Xia and the old man also entered. The old man called out to the girl who was embroidering, "Yuzhu, our guests have arrived. Stop embroidering for now!"

Lu Yuzhu looked up in surprise and saw two women in dresses smiling at her, especially one of whom was a foreigner. Her face flushed instantly, and her hands, which had been so skillful with the embroidery needle just moments before, became somewhat awkward.

"Your name is Yuzhu, right? Don't be nervous," Zhang Yi walked to Lü Yuzhu's side and said slowly, "This embroidery you did is really beautiful. Did you design it yourself?"

"Mmm," Lu Yuzhu nodded shyly with her rosy cheeks. She felt that the older sister standing next to her had a fragrance of orchids, which smelled very nice, and she couldn't help but relax her nervous heart.

"How long have you been learning embroidery? If I give you a design sketch of a garment, can you help me create a pattern on it?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yi's words, Lü Yuzhu's eyes brightened slightly, but she then lowered her eyelids shyly, her fingers stroking the embroidery frame in her hand. "I've been learning embroidery from my grandmother since I was a child, for fifteen years now."

She spoke softly, with the gentle tone unique to women from Zhao'an. "As for the composition, it depends on the style of the clothing. If it's everyday clothing, the pattern can't be too complicated. We have to take into account the material and stitching of the clothing."

"If it's traditional robes and clothing, you can be bolder with the designs; it mainly depends on your needs!"

A look of appreciation flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes. This seemingly shy girl spoke with professional confidence when she talked about embroidery.

"Yuzhu, these women are from Nanshan County. They own a clothing factory and came here specifically to find embroiderers," the old man, who had already spoken with Zeng Xia, said to Lü Yuzhu. "They heard about your embroidery skills and came here specifically to find you today."

Zhang Yi squatted down to be level with Lü Yuzhu, who was sitting, took her hand, and asked with a smile, "Yuzhu, I'd like to invite you to work as a pattern designer at our garment factory. Our clothing brand is positioned as high-end luxury, which would be a perfect opportunity for you to utilize your talents. Would you be willing to come to our company?"

"But... my grandmother is old and in poor health. She needs someone to take care of her. If I leave..." Lu Yuzhu's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and she unconsciously lowered her head.

Seeing Lü Yuzhu's words, the old man explained to Zeng Xia beside him, "This child lost her mother when she was young, and her father passed away from illness a few years ago, leaving the grandmother and granddaughter to depend on each other for survival!"

After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Yi leaned over and hugged Lü Yuzhu, gently comforting her. She was only in her early twenties and had to shoulder the burden of supporting her family, which made Zhang Yi feel a little sorry for her.

Chen Lianxiang carried Xiao Huiyi a few steps closer. Xiao Huiyi stretched out her chubby little hands and reached for the butterfly pattern on Lü Yuzhu's embroidery frame, making cooing noises. When Lü Yuzhu saw this, her previously forlorn face turned into a smile. She moved the embroidery frame closer to Xiao Huiyi, letting her little hands touch the silk threads.

Watching Lü Yuzhu playfully teasing Xiao Huiyi's chubby little hand, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Yuzhu, if your grandma is willing, she can come to our company with us. We will arrange accommodation. The old lady has been doing embroidery all her life and has valuable experience. We would like to invite her to be our technical consultant."

"Really?" Lü Yuzhu looked up at Zhang Yi with joy in her eyes.

"Of course, with your excellent skills, the old lady who taught you embroidery must also be a master. Our Angel Company is newly established and urgently needs embroidery masters like your old lady to join us," Zhang Yi said with a gentle smile.

Although Elena couldn't understand the conversation between Zhang Yi and Lü Yuzhu, she knew what Zhang Yi was planning to do. Elena felt she had to invite the embroiderer who could create such top-notch designs.

With her clothing designs and Lü Yuzhu's top-notch embroidery skills, Angel Company is sure to become a hit at the Milan Fashion Week!
