Chapter 67

Upon stepping into Cai Qingyuan’s office, Ye Yao immediately noticed the sportswear hanging on the rack.

It was exactly the same as the design on her sketches.

She walked up to it, inspecting it from different angles. The color coordination and intricate details were nothing short of perfection.

“Not bad.”

Ye Yao praised it, thinking that with this tracksuit, she could continue exercising comfortably even in cooler weather.

“It’s indeed very well-made.”

Cai Qingyuan agreed, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. He had personally overseen the cutting and sewing of this outfit.

The fabric she had chosen had excellent elasticity, making it perfect for this style of clothing.

“Miss Ye…”

“Boss Cai, just call me Ye Yao.”

Being addressed as “Miss Ye” felt a little unnatural to her.

“Alright, Ye Yao. I specifically called you up here because I have something to ask you.”

Instead of handing her the outfit right away, Cai Qingyuan turned and personally brewed her a cup of tea.

A faint smile appeared in Ye Yao’s eyes—she had already guessed what he wanted to talk about.

“Ye Yao, have you studied fashion design before?”

For the past few days, Cai Qingyuan had been replaying the scene of her sketching the design in his mind.

The fluidity of her lines was comparable to that of the most experienced designers in his workshop. However, judging from her demeanor, she didn’t seem like someone formally trained in the field.

“I don’t have much formal education and never studied it systematically, but I enjoy sketching in my free time. As for this particular design, I spent a long time thinking about it because I needed it for myself.”

There were moments when humility was necessary.

“For yourself?” Cai Qingyuan was momentarily puzzled.

Ye Yao smiled, glanced at her own plump figure, and spoke without a hint of self-consciousness.

“I see, I see,” Cai Qingyuan responded, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

Ye Yao continued, “Because of my body type, most styles available in stores don’t fit me. So, I have no choice but to design my own clothes.”

Cai Qingyuan nodded. Her reasoning was logical, but if that were truly the case, then she was exceptionally talented in design.

After all, such a well-thought-out design couldn’t have been created on a whim.

“Your design is excellent. This finished product was made exactly to your measurements. If we adjust the sizes—either scaling down or expanding—it could cater to a wide range of customers.”

He was finally getting to the main point.

Ye Yao kept smiling. “I’m happy to receive your approval. As for anything else, I haven’t thought that far ahead.”

Cai Qingyuan took a deep breath and then assumed a serious expression.

“Ye Yao, if possible, would you consider selling this design to me?”

This sportswear had universal appeal—suitable for people of all ages. With minor modifications, it could even be a unisex style. He saw great potential in it.

Ye Yao lifted her teacup, her eyes flickering with a sharp glint.

As expected…

“I will offer you a very reasonable price.”

Cai Qingyuan added quickly, emphasizing his sincerity.

Although he didn’t know much about this chubby girl sitting in front of him, her modest attire over the past two visits suggested she wasn’t from a wealthy family.

She had no reason to refuse—after all, the design was of no use to her personally.

After a moment of silence, Ye Yao calmly set down her teacup and looked at him.

“Boss Cai, I appreciate your kindness, but I’ve never considered selling this design.”
