Upon recalling this scene, Manager Hong’s eyes started to redden.
But, he recovered from his trance very soon and remarked, “In order to find the most suitable way to promote tie-dyeing, we have to know the roots of it! Vice-President Nian, let me take you somewhere.”
She could already guess where Hong Shi wanted to take her.
Actually, even if Manager Hong had not taken her, Nian Xiaomu herself had wanted to visit the vige where ancestors of the minority ethnic race had passed on their tie-dyeing techniques.
She wanted to personally experience the ancient traditional culture and to feel the influence it had left behind over time.
She had originally thought that just hearing stories from the past from Manager Hong would be enough to shock her.
But, when Nian Xiaomu came out from the vige, the look in her eyes was not just of shock… but also filled with a mission!
It was an indescribable feeling.
She simply felt that some things may need not be done, but other things had to be done or one would regret it their whole life!
“I have some idea of what to do already, but we mustn’t rush now. Let me think about it some more.”
Nian Xiaomu lowered her head in contemtion after walking out of the vige.
Before they even reached the car, she walked right into someone.
She was just about to retreat when a hand held onto her waist.
Nian Xiaomu was taken aback and just as she was about to push the hand away, a crisp and clear voice rang by her ears.
“Are you alright?”
“…”
It was a girl?
Nian Xiaomu retreated a step and raised her head after she steadied herself. Upon seeing that it was a sweet and innocent looking young girl in front of her, she hurriedly apologized.
“I’m fine. I’m so sorry, I bumped into you earlier.”
The young girl before her looked like she was only eighteen or neen years old.
She had beautiful braids and the dress she was wearing was tie-dyed and symbolic of the minority ethnic culture.
After taking just one look at Nian Xiaomu, she muttered, “You’re not from the vige. What are you doing here?”
Without waiting for Nian Xiaomu to answer, Manager Hong went forward to introduce them to her.
Upon knowing that they were helping the vige to promote tie-dyeing, a bright smile lit up on the young girl’s face.
“Hi, I’m Fu Xi.”
“I’m Nian Xiaomu. Did you make the dress you’re wearing yourself?” Nian Xiaomu asked as she touched her dress, her eyes lit up in excitement.
Fu Xi nodded. “The girls in our vige all know how to tie-dye clothing. This is a dress I made with the pattern I like. If you like it, I have many more at home. I can give one to you!”
“I won’t stand on ceremony then!” Nian Xiaomu gestured for Manager Hong to wait for her outside before following Fu Xi into the vige.
Nian Xiaomu had juste out and was just thinking of how to link the hospitality of the vigers to the concept of tie-dyeing.
Fu Xi’s appearance instantly gave her some inspiration.
Still stuck in her deep contemtion, Nian Xiaomu instinctively followed Fu Xi inside.
“We’re here.”
Hearing her voice, Nian Xiaomu raised her head and realized that Fu Xi’s house was positioned in a rather secluded spot. There were not many people residing nearby at all.
Her brows frowned as she saw that only female clothing was hung around in the courtyard.
“Do you live here alone usually?”
“Umm. My parents passed on quite early, so only my brother and I were left. Now that tie-dyeing isn’t as popr as it used to be, my brother has left to find a job to earn a living. I’m the only one living here now,” Fu Xi remarked with a smile.
Pushing the door open, she invited Nian Xiaomu to enter the house after her.
Half of the people in the vige all had the surname of Fu. It was as if they were all one big family.
It never urred to Nian Xiaomu that there would be people living alone here.
She instantly stopped in her tracks outside the door!
