Chapter 700 Kunkun Wedding Workshop
Following Lin Bufan's advice, Yang Tao did not rush into the next job after leaving her job, but decided to take a break for a while!
At first, Yang Tao could still bear it, but after a few days, she couldn't bear it anymore!
It was just dawn, and the faint morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a narrow strip of light across the bedroom floor. Yang Tao, who hadn't slept all night, stared straight at the ceiling, a faint dark tinge under his eyes.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at Lin Bufan, who was sleeping soundly and breathing evenly beside her. A nameless anger mixed with inexplicable irritation surged in her heart. Without thinking, Yang Tao leaned over and bit Lin Bufan's arm that was exposed outside the quilt.
"Hmm..." Lin Bufan groaned in pain in his sleep without opening his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand and mumbled incoherently. He groped and pressed his palm on the back of Yang Tao's head, gently pushing it down, "Hmm... Taozi... I bit the wrong place... A little lower..."
Yang Tao didn't react for a moment, and Lin Bufan pressed his head down a few inches, and the tip of his nose almost hit his waist and abdomen.
Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized the ambiguous implication in Lin Bufan's words. Her cheeks turned red and she raised her head in shame and anger.
"Lin Bufan!" Yang Tao growled angrily, and suddenly turned over and rode on Lin Bufan, not caring about her image at all. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Lin Bufan's neck. Of course, she didn't use much force, but just shook him with a bluff: "You stinky hooligan! You dream! I'll teach you a lesson! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Lin Bufan finally sobered up a bit after Yang Tao's disturbance. He opened his eyes to a face flushed with shame and anger, and a pair of fiery eyes. He blinked, looking puzzled, his voice still hoarse from waking up. "Taozi? You... didn't you say you were tired? Why are you..."
Lin Bufan didn't finish his words, as if he had realized something on his own. He sighed helplessly and said in a somewhat indulgent tone: "Forget it, forget it. I really can't stand you, you annoying little goblin. Since you are coming, then come."
As he spoke, Lin Bufan turned over swiftly, instantly changing their positions, pressing Yang Tao firmly under him, and lowered his head to kiss her.
"Woo... woo!" Yang Tao's protest was silenced, leaving only a vague whimper. She was angry and anxious, and in desperation, she bit Lin Bufan's lips with her teeth, not too hard or too light.
"Hiss—" Lin Bufan felt pain and suddenly raised his head. He touched the bitten spot with his finger, frowned, and said with real confusion and a hint of grievance: "Taozi, why did you bite me?"
"Why do you think I bit you?!" Yang Tao's chest heaved with anger, and she pushed Lin Bufan's chest hard.
Lin Bufan was stunned by Yang Tao's question, and even more confused, he subconsciously replied: "How should I know why you want to bite me? Wasn't it you who came here?"
"I'm going to come, you big-headed ghost!" Yang Tao's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Do I look like I'm going to come like this?!"
Then, without waiting for Lin Bufan to reply, Yang Tao immediately shouted, "I want to go to work! I want to work! Now! Right now!"
Lin Bufan was taken aback by Yang Tao's sudden outburst, and subconsciously asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to work? Didn't we agree to rest for a few days and adjust our condition?"
Yang Tao sat up suddenly and almost collided face to face with Lin Bufan who was riding on her. Although her face was not hit, other parts of her body were hit. It was just a minor scratch. If it was Lan Weiwei, it would definitely be a major accident!
Yang Tao pointed her finger under her eyes and angrily said to Lin Bufan: "Rest? Look at my dark circles! Look at my complexion! Do I look like I've had a good rest?!"
Lin Bufan examined him carefully in the dim light of dawn and nodded honestly, "Indeed... he doesn't look well-rested. He looks a little pale." A puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he stroked his chin. "But how is that possible? Haven't we even left the villa these past few days? He should be plump and healthy, so how could he not have gotten enough rest?"
"What do you think?! What do you think?!" Yang Tao was so angry that she punched Lin Bufan, her voice tinged with tears: "Who can get a good rest after tossing and turning all night long? Huh? Tell me, who can get a good rest?!"
Lin Bufan shrank his neck after being hit, and muttered awkwardly, "If I didn't get enough rest, then I didn't get enough rest... Why are you yelling at me..."
"What did I yell at?!" Yang Tao became even angrier and pushed him hard: "Get out of the way! I don't want to see you now!"
Lin Bufan obediently moved away. Yang Tao immediately rolled out of bed, stood barefoot on the carpet, and said firmly, hands on hips, "I'm serious, Lin Bufan, I'm going out to work! As for that wedding dress design job you mentioned earlier, have you arranged it yet? Give me a definite answer!"
Lin Bufan looked at Yang Tao's angry expression, touched his nose, and said in a soothing tone: "Um... Taozi, you have such heavy dark circles under your eyes, how about... let's take a good rest for a few days? Let's talk about work after we have enough energy."
Yang Tao didn't say anything, but just stared at Lin Bufan, his eyes full of "see if I believe it or not" and "just say it again if you dare".
Lin Bufan felt a little uneasy under Yang Tao's stare. He cleared his throat awkwardly and raised three fingers as if to swear: "I promise! I won't do anything rash this time! Really! I'll just rest and let you sleep until you wake up naturally. If I disturb you, I'll be a dog!"
Yang Tao snorted coldly, a mocking smile forming at the corner of her mouth: "You promised me the same thing two nights ago! What happened? Lin Bufan, your credibility has been ruined in my eyes!"
"Uh..." Lin Bufan was choked and speechless. He could only laugh dryly and scratch his head.
Yang Tao turned around and began to haphazardly take clothes out of the closet, her attitude firm: "I don't care! I'm going to work today! If you don't arrange that wedding dress design job for me, I'll go out and find one myself! If I can't be a hotel lobby manager, I can sell clothes or wait on tables, right? Anyway, I'm definitely not staying home anymore!"
Seeing that Yang Tao was determined, Lin Bufan knew that he couldn't get away with it this time, so he had to compromise and said, "Okay, okay, I'm scared of you! Work, right? I'll arrange it for you! It can be arranged today!"
Yang Tao's eyes lit up, and the anger on her face was instantly replaced by surprise: "Really? Can it be arranged today?"
Lin Bufan nodded affirmatively, reached out and carried Yang Tao back to the bed: "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"
Yang Tao screamed in surprise as her body suddenly hung in the air. She subconsciously hugged Lin Bufan's neck, and then nervously pressed against his chest: "Lin Bufan, don't do this! I really can't take it anymore..."
Lin Bufan gently put Yang Tao back on the bed, pulled the quilt over her and covered her carefully, his tone unusually serious: "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. Look at your dark circles. Even if you have to go to work, you must get a good rest first and refresh yourself. Otherwise, with such heavy dark circles under your eyes, how can you leave a good impression on your new colleagues? Get a good night's sleep today and go tomorrow."
Yang Tao looked at Lin Bufan doubtfully, his body still tense like a vigilant big cat.
Seeing this, Lin Bufan smiled helplessly and reached out to gently cover Yang Tao's eyes: "Close your eyes and go to sleep. I promise to let you have a good rest today."
Lin Bufan's palm was warm, and his voice held a soothing magic. Yang Tao's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the exhaustion of the past few days surged over her like a tide. Her eyelids grew heavier, and finally, under his gentle caress, she fell into a deep sleep.
……
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Yang Tao jumped out of bed, full of energy, a stark contrast to the listless look of the day before. She quickly changed her clothes and looked at Lin Bufan, who was still sleeping soundly beside her. She reached out and pushed him without hesitation: "Get up, get up! Hurry up! Don't sleep anymore!"
Lin Bufan was pushed so hard that he groaned. Without even opening his eyes, he complained vaguely, "Um... Taozi... what time is it now... let me sleep a little longer..."
"Why are you sleeping? The sun is shining on your butt!" Yang Tao threw back Lin Bufan's blanket and said in an unquestionable tone, "Hurry up and get up. We'll leave after breakfast! You promised me yesterday that you would arrange work for me today!"
Under Yang Tao's repeated urging and "violent" pulling, Lin Bufan finally left the warm bed reluctantly, washed up in a daze, and sat down at the dining table.
Yang Tao was in a good mood. She hummed a song and placed a simple breakfast of fried eggs, toast and milk in front of him: "Eat quickly, we'll leave after you finish."
Looking at Yang Tao's impatient look, Lin Bufan sighed helplessly and started to eat breakfast resignedly.
After breakfast, the two of them headed out. Lin Bufan drove Yang Tao all the way to a busy area in the city center. Finally, the car stopped in front of a street-side store.
The shop's frontage is spacious, elegantly decorated in pure white, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the interior. The most eye-catching feature is the brand-new sign above the door, and the strikingly stylish logo next to it—an abstracted figure in the back, striking the classic "overalls leaning on a mountain" pose, its lines flowing and dynamic. The shop's name, written in artistic font, is "Kunkun Bridal Workshop."
Yang Tao looked at the logo, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. She pointed at it and asked Lin Bufan, "Did you design this... this logo?"
Lin Bufan had a calm expression, even a hint of pride: "How is it? Isn't it very creative and memorable? I designed it myself!"
"Who is that Kun Kun?"
Lin Bufan's face was solemn, his eyes gazing profoundly into the distance, as if gazing at some cosmic truth. "Kun Kun is no one, or rather, it doesn't refer to a specific person. Kun, taken from the Book of Changes, represents the earth, the power that carries all things, the ultimate in compliance and gentleness. It also symbolizes infinite potential and growth. It is a spirit, a belief, representing the tolerance of the world and the endless creation. When we make wedding dresses, don't we carry the couple's infinite longing for a beautiful marriage and the hope of nurturing new life? This is the meaning of Kun."
Yang Tao was a little confused by Lin Bufan's seemingly profound explanation, which was full of quotations from classics. Although she felt something was amiss, she was powerless to refute it. She could only wave her hand and said, "Forget it, I can't argue with you... Let's go in and take a look."
Seeing that Lin Bufan and Yang Tao had finished their conversation, a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a smart business suit, who had been standing at the store entrance since they got out of the car, immediately came over to greet them. With a perfectly warm smile on her face, she bowed slightly, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Yang, good morning. I'm Zhou Ya, you can call me Xiao Zhou."
Lin Bufan nodded slightly and introduced to Yang Tao, "Taozi, this is Zhou Ya, the assistant I found for you. She will assist you with all matters in the store from now on."
Zhou Ya immediately gave Yang Tao a respectful and friendly look: "Mr. Yang, please give me more guidance in the future."
Although Yang Tao had already learned from Lin Bufan on the way here that the so-called "job arrangement" meant directly buying a store for her, she still felt a little uncomfortable when Zhou Ya called her Ms. Yang. "No, no, no, Zhou Ya, don't call me Ms. Yang. It sounds weird. We are probably about the same age. Just call me Yang Tao, or Taozi."
Zhou Ya just smiled and didn't change her words. She turned sideways and made a "please" gesture: "Boss Lin, Boss Yang, everything is ready inside. I'll show you around."
The interior of the shop is even more spacious and brighter than it appears from the outside. The overall color scheme is pure white with gentle beige tones. A massive crystal chandelier casts a soft light, illuminating the exquisite wedding gowns displayed in the center. Lace, satin, pearls... all shimmer with a delicate luster under the light. Against the wall are the fabric display area and design workspace, where a variety of expensive satins, tulle, and lace are neatly displayed. Drawing tables, mannequins, and sewing equipment are all available.
The most eye-catching thing was the staff standing in two neat rows in the center of the store. They were all dressed in neat light gray uniforms, with practiced smiles on their faces. When they saw Lin Bufan and Yang Tao enter, they all bowed and greeted them in unison: "Hello, Mr. Lin! Hello, Mr. Yang!"
Yang Tao was startled by the scene and subconsciously moved closer to Lin Bufan. She took a quick look and saw that there were more than a dozen people in the two rows, ranging from young faces to those who looked experienced.
Zhou Ya introduced at the right time: "Mr. Yang, these are the employees of our Kun Kun Bridal Workshop. These two are senior pattern makers, Ms. Zhang and Ms. Li, who are responsible for accurately converting your design drawings into paper patterns." She pointed to the two calm middle-aged women standing in the front row and introduced them.
Sister Zhang and Sister Li, who were called, smiled and nodded to Yang Tao.
Zhou Ya continued to introduce: "These three are our workshop's top sewing craftsmen, Master Wang, Master Liu and Master Zhao, who are responsible for the precise sewing and detail processing of wedding gowns.
These four..."
After Zhou Ya finished her introduction, Yang Tao looked at the clearly defined and professional team before her, feeling a momentary daze. She couldn't help but secretly tug at Lin Bufan's sleeve, lowering her voice, "This...this is too many people, right? I just want to find a place where I can focus on design..."
Lin Bufan patted the back of Yang Tao's hand, reassuring her. He then said to Zhou Ya and all the staff, "Thank you for your hard work. From now on, the design and operation of the workshop will be fully under the responsibility of President Yang. I hope everyone will actively cooperate with President Yang and work together to make KunKun Bridal Workshop a benchmark in the industry."
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" everyone responded in unison.
