Then Qin Xiangnuan seemed to hear someone coming downstairs, thump thump thump, the steps on the floor were very regular.
"Hello..." the phone was handed to another person, and even the voice had changed.
"Brother Jian, hello, I’m Qin Xiangnuan."
"Oh, Nuannuan?" Jian Zhiqing called out Qin Xiangnuan’s nickname, and for some reason, Qin Xiangnuan suddenly felt her face heating up. Could it be turning red? She quickly turned around, facing the wall, to avoid letting anyone catch on.
"Heh..." Laughter came from Jian Zhiqing on the other side of the phone, and Qin Xiangnuan could almost feel his rather good mood, which seemed to be contagious.
"What’s up, young lady, thinking of calling me now?"
"That’s right, Brother Jian," Qin Xiangnuan leaned her back against the wall, and then she explained why she had called.
After listening for a while, Jian Zhiqing finally understood, "You want to buy a house here?"
"Yes," Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "I might settle in the Capital City in the future. I’m worried that the house prices will be too high later, and I won’t be able to afford them. Thankfully, we still have some money at home, so we brought it over. However, we don’t know anything about Capital City, so we’d like to ask Brother Jian for help."
"Sure," Jian Zhiqing’s fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk lightly, "Where are you staying? I will come to you tomorrow, and I can also take you to see the houses. It just so happens that there are a few available for sale, you guys came at the right time."
When Qin Xiangnuan heard Jian Zhiqing say this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness she made the call; otherwise, she and her brother might rush around the Capital City blindly without finding what they wanted.
She gave Jian Zhiqing her address and then felt relieved as she returned to the hotel. However, asking for help made her feel somewhat embarrassed, and she didn’t know what kind of return gift would be appropriate. Surely she couldn’t let him help them for nothing?
While Qin Xiangyang was not around, she entered the system to see what was available. She tapped on the shopping panel in the system, which displayed embroidery threads, needles, and fabrics. Her eyes moved to the fabrics section, which featured quality woolen materials, very warm to wear and definitely not prone to pilling. There were various colors, and one meter cost 10 Gold Coins—10 coins! A wool coat required 2.8 meters, and a pair of pants over a meter. That would quickly use up more than thirty Gold Coins.
She moved her hand to the purchase column, feeling a bit heartbroken, but eventually, she steeled her heart and clicked on the purchase button. She bought 4 meters of fabric, costing her forty coins, intending to make a set of clothes for Jian Zhiqing.
A wool coat and a pair of pants.
Jian Zhiqing’s build was similar to Qin Xiangyang’s, though slimmer but also taller. The wool coat could be made longer and looser, suitable for different body types. She chose a subtly black understated fabric.
The color was very fashionable, didn’t seem old, and Jian Zhiqing’s clear appearance would certainly look good in this color.
Luckily, in her last life, she had spent several years in the clothing factory; she could make a complete set of clothes. Now, after studying tailoring with Granny Lu for a few years, her skills hadn’t faded. After drawing the lines with chalk, she took the scissors and cut, the large piece of fabric was quickly divided into smaller pieces.
