The fashion show continued in a makeshift backstage with only six models, bustling with activity.

Among them, three were men!!!

There was no choice; Factory Director Hai had a limited number of people he could bring in, so he had to choose carefully.

This impromptu fashion show not only had limited models but also limited clothing.

Fortunately, Bohemian dresses require the simplest cuts.

Overnight, they cut about dozens of long and short skirts, without getting into many details, just the rough shape.

But conveying the general idea nicely was enough.

The crowd gathered more and more, and after observing for a while, Jiang Cheng took action.

She approached a foreigner with brown hair who was dressed quite meticulously.

"Hello."

Her standard British accent made the brown-haired foreigner raise an eyebrow in surprise.

"Your pronunciation is very standard, have you been abroad?"

"No, unfortunately, I’ve always wanted to see the beautiful country of the UK."

The brown-haired foreigner nodded with a slight smile, "It is indeed beautiful."

"No doubt about it."

Jiang Cheng affirmed before getting to the point: "Are you interested in the fabrics we’re exhibiting?"

"How did you know I would purchase fabric?"

Jiang Cheng shook her head quickly, appearing a bit nervous, "I didn’t know, it’s just that from your attire... I’m not sure how to describe it, please forgive my lack of vocabulary, but among the crowd, I noticed you at first glance."

"Extremely comfortable, it gives me a... high-class feeling!"

Such an innocent compliment!

The brown-haired foreigner was pleased with the praise.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng complimented him right where it counts; he truly enjoys pairing outfits and looking both exquisite and gentlemanly.

"You guessed correctly, I am indeed a fabric merchant."

Jiang Cheng covered her mouth, then quickly let go, her little delight at guessing correctly perfectly acted out.

"I’m truly honored. If I ever get the chance, I’d love to learn from you about pairing clothes."

Jiang Cheng chattered, and the brown-haired foreigner started a conversation with her.

The brown-haired foreigner was named James, and his family was in the clothing business.

James didn’t employ any tricks; since he was already there, it was naturally for business.

He was interested in the fabric displayed on stage and wished to further negotiate.

Jiang Cheng acted as the translator.

Factory Director Hai didn’t expect the first deal to come so quickly; he sat across the table from James, who was speaking.

After James finished, Jiang Cheng turned to Factory Director Hai and said, "Director Hai, Mr. James wants to purchase these six types of fabric, and his offered price is 0.9."

Zero point nine was already above Director Hai’s mental estimate.

Yet he showed a troubled expression.

Because when Jiang Cheng handed him the paper to look at, her hand showed two fingers, indicating the price could still be negotiated and not to agree.

If Jiang Cheng handed the paper with one finger, it meant the price was acceptable.

This was the signal they agreed upon yesterday.

After hearing what Director Hai said, Jiang Cheng turned to negotiate with James.

"Mr. James, as far as I know, the few pieces of fabric you like belong exclusively to a style, the Bohemian style, right?"

James seemed slightly surprised.

"You even know about Bohemian?"

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Jiang Cheng lowered her head, "This is probably the only style I know; I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you."

"I happen to have friends abroad who send me some magazines, so I accidentally learned that this style is popular in Europe."

Popularity means there is a market.

"Mr. James, you are an expert in this field, so you can feel our fabric, made of 100% pure cotton with top quality."

Jiang Cheng’s statement was very sincere.

At present, the best products were supplied abroad to earn foreign exchange.

The quality was genuinely top-notch, but prices in past years were low simply because the patterns were not popular.

James indeed felt the fabric, understanding that the other party wanted to raise the price.

"Mr. James, our price is 1.3."

James subconsciously frowned; this price... he still made a profit.

But which businessman doesn’t want to maximize profits?

"I need to think about this price."

"Of course, you can take a walk first, and if there are no products that suit your taste elsewhere, you’re always welcome to return; we’ll be right here."

Jiang Cheng didn’t relent.

Seeing this, James actually got up and left.

Factory Director Hai watched from start to finish, did he just leave?

"Jiang Cheng?"

"Don’t worry, this fabric is unique."

The patterns on the fabric from Sea City weren’t available from other manufacturers.

James’s current situation is like many people who go shopping; they like the first store they visit, but still want to see if there’s anything else.

He will go searching with an answer in mind and eventually come back.

Jiang Cheng’s calmness didn’t really reassure Factory Director Hai, but he felt that already being on the "pirate ship," he had to trust the captain.

At this moment, the captain of the pirate ship walked towards another foreign buyer examining the fabric.

The counterpart was from the U.S.

After looking around, he didn’t find the desired fabric and was about to leave.

"Merry Christmas in advance!"

This one sentence stopped him in his tracks, meeting Jiang Cheng’s gaze.

"It’s not Christmas yet."

Jiang Cheng nodded with a little embarrassment, "I know, it’s still fourteen days until Christmas Eve."

"It must be hard being abroad during such an important holiday."

"I understand the feeling of homesickness so well, especially before such a significant holiday, let me see....."

"Our textile factory is giving you a small gift to wish you an early Merry Christmas."

Jiang Cheng turned around and picked up a small basket.

The basket was wrapped in red and green cloth strips with a large red bow, and beneath the bow was a ball made by winding green cloth strips.

Brown took an immediate liking to the small basket at first sight.

It had such a festive atmosphere!

Christmas, classic with red paired with green.

"Thank you, I really like it!"

"The colors are beautiful!"

As Brown praised it, Jiang Cheng seized the opportunity, "Indeed, I also think that red and green together really look nice!"

"Actually, this basket was made out of our own fabric; would you like to take a look?"

Brown indeed showed interest, asking, "Where is it?"

Jiang Cheng gestured invitingly and led Brown to the red and green fabric.

There was shiny, matte, and plain cotton fabric.

In short, there were various materials.

After looking at them, Brown regretfully said, "It’s a pity we can’t make it for this Christmas."

"Why would it be a pity?"

Jiang Cheng said, puzzled, "Mr. Brown, even if you place an order now, the factory would need a few months to complete it, plus shipping, and then processing it upon your return, I think it would be just in time for next Christmas, don’t you?"

If there were a light bulb, it would surely be shining brightly over Brown’s head.

"Yes! The timing is just right!"

Brown looked at Jiang Cheng excitedly, grabbing a piece of red fabric, "How do I make a purchase?"
