Chapter 175 New Trend
Lin Daoyuan is a very elegant man, and this outfit brings out his temperament even more.
Nowadays, people's clothes are almost the same. Men usually wear only a few styles and colors, such as Zhongshan suits, work clothes, or green military uniforms without collar badges. Cadres like Lin Daoyuan basically just change a few Zhongshan suits on a daily basis.
Today, Lin Daoyuan looked completely different from usual in this jacket. This jacket is not only trendy, but also elegant. Moreover, compared with the formal Zhongshan suit, the jacket is more comfortable and casual to wear. In addition, this jacket has a small lapel, which makes it look very solemn. There is no problem wearing it in formal occasions.
"Mr. Lin, this suit is really nice. It looks really cool." Chen Yuqin stepped forward to help Lin Daoyuan straighten his shoulders. She praised him as she looked at him. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Hey, this lining seems a little different."
"This lining is removable. There are two layers of lining inside. Look here, there is a button. When it is hot, you can unbutton it and take it off. This way, you can wear it in seasons other than summer." Song Yuanchao walked forward and pointed to several places and explained with a smile. This kind of design does not exist now. It was specially made by two masters in the factory under the guidance of Song Yuanchao.
"Not bad, really good!" Chen Yuqin praised it endlessly. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. Even Lin Daoyuan nodded repeatedly to this design.
"Aunt, this is for you, you can try it on too." As he said that, Song Yuanchao took out a woolen coat. It was a dark red woolen coat. The style of the coat had also been adjusted, and it was more fashionable than the current coats.
Chen Yuqin liked the coat immediately after seeing it, and happily took off her apron and put it on. After putting it on, she went to the mirror to look at herself, and even posed a few times, feeling very happy.
"This coat is really nice, warm, comfortable, and the size is perfect, but the color is just right..."
"Mom, I think this color is great. It's not as eye-catching as bright red. You look so beautiful in it, Dad, don't you think?" Lin Yan helped her mother try on clothes and praised her repeatedly.
After listening to this, Lin Daoyuan smiled and nodded in agreement. He had to say that the color chosen by Song Yuanchao was very suitable for Chen Yuqin. Although Chen Yuqin was not young anymore, she had always maintained a good figure. This dress not only made her look energetic, but also made her look a lot younger.
"Yuanchao, you brought everything for your parents, what about mine?" After accompanying Chen Yuqin to try on the coat, Lin Yan couldn't wait to ask Song Yuanchao.
"Girl, how can you ask for things?" Chen Yuqin scolded with a smile.
"Aunt, please don't say that to Yan Zi. Besides, can I not bring it to her? If I don't, she will eat me." Song Yuanchao made a joke at the side. Everyone laughed when they heard it. Then Song Yuanchao took out the last few pieces of clothes from the bag.
"What is this?" Lin Yan originally thought that Song Yuanchao would bring a jacket or coat like his parents, but who would have thought that the last few pieces Song Yuanchao took out were a shirt, pants, and a thin coat. Why did Song Yuanchao bring spring clothes in the middle of winter? Lin Yan was stunned.
"These are good things." Song Yuanchao smiled happily and handed the clothes to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan took it and gestured, still looking confused.
"Aiding Korea, these...?" Chen Yuqin, standing aside, was also a little confused and couldn't help asking.
"Everyone watched the TV series 'The Man from Atlantis' that was broadcast a few days ago, right? These are made based on the styles shown on TV. They are samples that have just come out of the factory in Shanghai and have not yet been officially launched on the market. I brought them back specially for Yan Zi." Song Yuanchao explained.
Lin Daoyuan and Chen Yuqin were still confused for a while, but Lin Yan's eyes lit up when she heard it. She happily picked up the clothes and went back to her room to try them on. After a while, she changed into clothes and pants and walked out of the room happily.
The moment Lin Yan appeared, the only word that flashed through Song Yuanchao's mind was "stunning". Compared with Ying Caixia, Lin Yan had a completely different style.
Lin Yan, with her ponytail, looks youthful and beautiful. She is wearing a purple shirt. The fabric of this shirt is silk instead of ordinary cotton. Compared with ordinary shirts, it is more flowing and slim-fitting, highlighting Lin Yan's delicate figure.
As for her lower body, she wore a pair of bell-bottom pants, but these bell-bottom pants were different from the ones Ying Caixia wore at the beginning. The trouser legs were not opened too exaggeratedly, but they still maintained the characteristics of bell-bottom pants.
"Dad, Mom, don't you think I'm beautiful?" Lin Yan stood in the living room and turned around happily towards everyone. Chen Yuqin looked at her and nodded repeatedly. It must be said that Lin Yan looked really beautiful in this outfit. Moreover, she had an indescribable temperament from her usual self, as if she had suddenly become a different person.
Lin Daoyuan frowned slightly. He admitted that his daughter looked beautiful in this outfit, but the dress and pants seemed a little different from ordinary ones. Wearing such a slim outfit seemed a little...
"Oh, and this." Song Yuanchao looked at Lin Yan in front of him and put a pair of sunglasses he had prepared long ago on her. However, Song Yuanchao did not wear them directly on her nose. Instead, he gently inserted them on the sides of Lin Yan's ears, like a headband on her forehead. With this, Lin Yan looked even more beautiful.
In addition to these, Song Yuanchao also gave Lin Daoyuan and his wife and Lin Yan an electronic watch each. The two watches for Lin Daoyuan and his wife were Casio, one for men and one for women. These were naturally brought back by Qin Zhengguo. Originally, Qin Zhengguo thought that Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan would each have one, so he specially bought the same model for men and women when buying them, but Song Yuanchao gave them directly to Lin Daoyuan and his wife.
As for Lin Yan and myself, don't we still have the two models from Xiangjiang? Give the good things to the elders, and they can just use ordinary ones. Besides, electronic watches are new things that don't exist in China at all. They are absolutely rare. When everyone learned that this watch can run without winding, they were very surprised. They fiddled with it for a while before putting it away with a smile.
After a while of excitement, Lin Yan changed her new clothes and happily followed Chen Yuqin to the kitchen to busy herself. Song Yuanchao and Lin Daoyuan sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.
"Uncle, why didn't you go out during the New Year's Day?" Song Yuanchao asked as he helped Lin Daoyuan light a cigarette and extinguished the match and threw the matchstick into the ashtray in front of him.
"Today is the fifth day of the New Year. Those who should have gone have already gone, and those who should have come have already come. You are considered a latecomer." Lin Daoyuan was in a good mood and joked with Song Yuanchao with a smile.
Song Yuanchao also laughed. It was true. How could an official of Lin Daoyuan's rank not be busy during the Chinese New Year? Social interactions were inevitable. It was a pity that he came back today. If he had come back a few days earlier, his home might not be so quiet.
"You must have been busy with a lot of things this time when you went back, right?" Lin Daoyuan asked, looking at Song Yuanchao while smoking a cigarette.
"Well, I took care of some personal matters, and went to visit the previous factory. Also, I visited some relatives and friends." Song Yuanchao didn't quite understand what Lin Daoyuan meant. When he first came in, Lin Daoyuan asked a few polite questions, but why was he asking again now?
"I think it's far more than that." Lin Daoyuan said calmly, with a meaningful look on his face. He glanced at the electronic watch Song Yuanchao gave him on the coffee table: "You've only been back for a few days? This time you brought clothes and an electronic watch. Oh, and even sunglasses? Let me ask you, have you planned this long ago? Are you going back just to get these things?"
Lin Daoyuan's words made Song Yuanchao hesitate, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I know the TV series you mentioned earlier. It was just aired not long ago. You are really fast. You got the thing out in a blink of an eye. Do you think I would believe it if you didn't plan it?" Facing Song Yuanchao, Lin Daoyuan did not lay an ambush and asked directly.
Song Yuanchao smiled bitterly. He could fool others, but he couldn't fool his father-in-law. Who was Lin Daoyuan? He had experienced the old society, wars, and movements. It was no exaggeration to say that he had been through hundreds of battles. His insight into people's hearts was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Moreover, Lin Daoyuan had already known all of his past experiences in Shanghai.
However, Song Yuanchao was well prepared before coming. He knew that some things could not be hidden from Lin Daoyuan, so he immediately explained them in detail.
Of course, it was impossible for Song Yuanchao to tell the truth, and it was even more impossible for him to tell Lin Daoyuan that he had known that the TV series would be broadcast at this time. It was okay to say such things to Li Daqi and others, but it would be impossible to say these things in front of Lin Daoyuan.
Song Yuanchao's explanation was very simple. When he saw this film, the first thing he thought of was the shock and impact that the costumes on TV would have on the domestic people. Because of the school-run factory, although Song Yuanchao has left now, he still has feelings and concerns for the factory. At that time, he happened to entrust the old masters in the factory to help customize clothes for Lin Daoyuan and Chen Yuqin. He had an idea and asked the old masters to make a few samples according to the ones on TV.
Song Yuanchao thought this was an opportunity. If these styles became popular, it might be a good opportunity for the factory to grow. Moreover, his good friend was now the deputy director of the factory. He was arranged by Song Yuanchao to join the factory. He had been worried about the subsequent operation of the factory these days. They talked a lot when they went back this time. Song Yuanchao also gave him a lot of suggestions, and making bell-bottom pants was one of them.
"Then what about these sunglasses and digital watches?" Lin Daoyuan asked.
"These sunglasses and electronic watch were brought back by my friend from Guangzhou. You know Guangzhou is close to Hong Kong, and there are many imported goods there. This time he brought me some things. Oh, and this one." As he spoke, Song Yuanchao took out a calculator from his bag and handed it over: "This is a calculator from Japan, but I'm giving it to others. You and your aunt don't need it, so I didn't take it out just now."
Seeing the calculator, Lin Daoyuan took it and played with it for a while, and his serious expression gradually relaxed.
