Huo Shao Ting was a businessman, so he certainly knew that Lu Nianzhi's analysis and planning was very rational.
While his wife's ideas were indeed too idealistic, to put it bluntly, they were too naive.
International top brands don't even dare to use the term "pure handmade" to attract eyeballs, after all the online consumers nowadays are not fools to be fooled so easily.
But he didn't refute her immediately, or analyze anything with Rong Dai. Instead, he urged her not to think about this for now, and focus on completing the filming of this drama first.
Rong Dai was full of melancholy in her heart. Even if Huo Shao Ting didn't say it, she was very clear in her heart.
Huo Shao Ting was a businessman, and he agreed with Lu Nianzhi's plan.
He didn't refute her probably because he was afraid she would be hurt.
After hanging up the phone with Huo Shao Ting, she pulled the quilt over her head and took a long nap, temporarily not thinking about this matter.
After Huo Shao Ting hung up the phone, he called Zhang Assistant.
Zhang Assistant, who was just about to get intimate with his beloved wife, was very miserable. He could only grit his teeth and get up to contact vendors for Huo Shao Ting and make appointments with them.
The next day Rong Dai got up, had breakfast, and went to the set.
The atmosphere between Qiao Wanzhou and Zhou Jing on the set was a bit strange, but fortunately both of them were very capable of restraining themselves, so the filming was not affected.
Moreover, Rong Dai was not an artist. With her thorough understanding of the script and characters, as long as it was her shots, the number of NGs was very small, and every scene went very smoothly.
At night, she was the first to finish work, leading other actors.
When she returned to the apartment, she found Huo Shao Ting wearing an apron in the kitchen cooking soup for her. She quickly changed her shoes and asked him in surprise, "Shao Ting, why are you here?"
Huo Shao Ting looked back at her fondly, "Go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."
How could he not know clearly her melancholy and contradictions in her heart? Of course he had to come.
Rong Dai was a little hungry too. She obediently went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she came out, Huo Shao Ting had moved the stewed soup and dishes onto the dining table, so she took out bowls and chopsticks.
"You still haven't told me why you came."
After sitting down to eat, Rong Dai couldn't help asking him.
The company was also very busy, and she felt sorry that he had to fly here and there like this.
"You'll know tomorrow."
Huo Shao Ting deliberately aroused her curiosity. Rong Dai tried to ask two more times, but seeing him keep mum, she simply didn't ask any more.
After dinner, Rong Dai did not forget to study English. She sat at the desk and did her homework carefully.
Huo Shao Ting sat on the sofa dealing with company emails. He glanced up at her several times, and saw that she didn't even look at him once. He felt a little frustrated in his heart.
When this little woman was busy, she could even ignore him.
He closed his laptop, walked behind her, put his arms around her, and rubbed her earlobe with his lips.
His warm breath sprayed her neck, and Rong Dai couldn't help blushing. Her back felt sour and itchy. She turned her head to look at him, and pleaded in a soft voice, "Just a little bit left and I'll be done."
"Mmm..."
He gave her a resonant nasal sound, very magnetically.
Rong Dai originally intended to finish the last two questions, but Huo Shao Ting hugging her and breathing on her neck and ears gave her a numb tingling feeling that made it difficult for her to concentrate.
She simply put down her pen and put the test paper aside.
She turned her head, took the initiative to put her hands on his shoulders, and pretended to be ignorant and asked him, "Mr. Huo, what do you want to do?"
Huo Shao Ting gazed deeply into her eyes and answered gently and indulgently with his magnetic voice, "I want to swallow you up..."
There was playfulness and cunningness in Rong Dai's eyes. "Cannibalism is illegal..."
"Eating my wife is not illegal..."
Huo Shao Ting was delighted by her little trick to please him. After answering her, he picked her up horizontally in his arms and walked towards the big bed...
The next day, Rong Dai woke up with sore limbs and glared at the man beside her, but her heart was rippling with sweetness.
Huo Shao Ting stroked her cheek and said gently, "Sleep a little longer. I'll make breakfast for you."
Rong Dai shook her head. She had been sleeping a lot recently.
"Where are you taking me today?"
She didn't forget his purpose of coming here.
Huo Shao Ting couldn't help smiling. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, "You'll know when we get there."
Seeing that he still didn't say, Rong Dai had to get up resignedly to wash up.
After having breakfast, the bodyguards drove while the couple sat holding hands in the back seat.
As soon as she got in the car, Rong Dai wanted to sleep again. Huo Shao Ting took a blanket and wrapped her up, letting her pillow her head on his lap to rest.
When Rong Dai woke up, they had already arrived in the neighboring city, Su City.
Huo Shao Ting didn't explain anything. He took her to a factory.
"The textile industry in Su City is the leading enterprise in the country. Mechanized production does not necessarily mean worse than pure handwork. The key is the choice."
"I have contacted the person in charge of this factory. He can take you to visit their internal production line. Embroidery by machine has become more and more outstanding in recent years. What really matters is the work itself."
"I don't deny the excellence of embroidery skills, but large-scale production is something manpower cannot achieve."
"Lu Nianzhi's plan is very correct. I know what you want to insist on. But even if you choose machine embroidery for mass production, this will not conflict with your ideals. The work itself is the real strength."
Huo Shao Ting held her hand. The person in charge of the factory had been waiting there long ago.
Seeing the couple coming, he was going to let them go to the reception room for hot tea first, but Rong Dai wanted to see the production line first.
The person in charge did not stop her and enthusiastically took the couple to visit, explaining very carefully.
Rong Dai listened very carefully and watched the integrated machinery. The daily output was considerable.
"Mrs. Huo, please take a look. These are our latest products for the new season, internal samples. We have been cooperating with Brocade Embroidery Workshop, a top domestic brand. Please rest assured that the quality of our products is absolutely guaranteed."
The person in charge said very seriously and proudly.
Rong Dai nodded. She had seen the products of Brocade Embroidery Workshop, which were indeed excellent.
She looked at the samples in her hand. Although they were embroidered by machine, the workmanship was much more exquisite than ordinary ones.
The person in charge introduced them very seriously, and took the couple to visit the mechanical equipment, explaining the characteristics of these machines.
Rong Dai listened very carefully.
She had been insisting on pure handmade embroidery before, firstly because the hand embroidery gave a "soul" to a work.
This was what she believed to be craftsmanship.
Secondly, she wanted to showcase the charm of embroidery.
But now after the visit, the products embroidered by machines were equally exquisite.
Just as Huo Shao Ting said, the excellence was in the work itself first, and the craft second.
The craft was important, of course, but the integrity of a work involved many elements, not just the craft.
