It said 'I did it with Annie', which means that in the process of preparing to build this studio, there were many places in Saratoga where I didn't know the way, and Annie helped me a lot. We did a lot of things together.

It’s not like the two of them chipped in to build this studio.

You can tell from the name of the studio. If there were Anne's shares here, Saratoga would not forget her share of the business and gave the studio a name that suited her own preferences.

"Jia Jia, how much did this studio cost?" Taking advantage of Shi Xiaolei's break to change clothes in the dressing room, Lexington pulled his sister with some worry and asked.

"The rent is US$40,000 a year, including decoration, furniture, water and electricity... Hmm." Calculating on his fingers, Saratoga raised his head and answered with a smile: "About 160,000 US dollars."

"Sixteen thousand?"

"Yes, the rent is paid for two years at a time. As for other expenses, because many of the things were second-hand goods bought from Anne's acquaintances, the prices were quite cheap, and the total cost was only a little over 80,000. To the tune of 90,000." As he spoke, Saratoga held his sister's arm and narrowed his eyes proudly: "Sister, I can live my life, hehe."

I just started a business, so I knew I would buy second-hand goods first and make do with them. Lexington was quite pleased with his sister's prudent choice.

But then again, 160,000 US dollars is not a small amount.

"Did you save the money yourself? Or did you go to the bank to apply for a loan?"

"I saved one hundred thousand myself." Knowing what her sister was worried about, Saratoga smiled and replied with a look of "Don't worry, I'm doing things well": "The remaining sixty thousand is for me." Sister Bayonetta borrowed it, I didn’t think about it.”

There is a word called ‘what goes up and what goes down has effect’.

Following Shi Xiaolei, the financial management concepts of the ship girls were more or less affected.

Things like saving money. Few Americans in general think about saving money. Especially young people, who tend to spend as much money as they earn. However, the ship girls who were influenced by Shi Xiaolei became somewhat Chinese and developed a good habit of saving money for emergencies.

Another example is borrowing money. When something happens, the first thing girls think about is ‘find friends to help them get it together’ instead of going to the bank to apply for a loan like most Americans do.

"Did you borrow it from Sister Bei... It's okay, I guess you have a sense of discretion." After touching his sister's head, Lexington took out a bank card from the ship's installation space: "Here, I'm here. You have saved 80,000 yuan, and you will pay back Sister Bei’s money later.”

"No need." Pushing away the bank card handed over by her sister, Saratoga said with a smile: "I borrowed the money, and I will pay it back myself. Moreover, Sister Bayonetta said that if I can design something that satisfies her, She doesn’t have to pay back the clothes.”

"Eh?"

"It's not that you don't have to pay it back, it should be said that you need to invest in it." Saratoga added and explained: "As you know, Sister Bayonetta is particularly interested in fashion. Oh, by the way, there is also Miss Pepper, They all said that as long as I can show my talent in fashion design, they will invest in me.”

It’s not about taking advantage of others in vain, but about exchanging talents for investment.

Hearing Saratoga say this, Lexington was completely relieved.

However, she did not take back her bank card. Instead, she pushed it into her sister's hand: "Take the card first. Maybe you will encounter a place where you need to use money? With this card in your hand, It can be used in emergencies. Anyway, I don’t have anything to spend money on, so I have nothing to do.”

"Then...I won't be polite. Hehe, sister, you love me the most."

Being hugged by Saratoga, Lexington could only laugh and cry and push her head away: "Go, go, now you know how good I am? Who keeps saying 'Commander is the best' every day?" , 'Smelly sister, far worse than the commander'...is that you?"

"hey-hey."

While the two sisters were playing and laughing, Shi Xiaolei had already changed clothes in the dressing room.

It's not a clothing store. It's not the customer who has the final say whether the clothes fit or not. It depends more on what the designer says... I don't think it's necessary. It's also because the space in the dressing room is a bit small, so there's no equipment for customers to do it themselves. A full-length mirror to check the effects of your upper body.

It just felt like a good fit. Shi Xiaolei didn't know whether it looked good or not.

After opening the curtain and walking out, he naturally asked the two sisters for their opinions: "Lexington, Saratoga, help me take a look. Is the effect still good?"

When I studied with Anne before, I mainly studied women's clothing design. When it comes to men's clothing, Saratoga still lacks experience.

But this did not prevent her from designing a fitting and good-looking outfit for Shi Xiaolei.

the reason is simple.

First of all, Shi Xiaolei is the commander. As a ship girl, Saratoga has long regarded him as one of her most important people. Because of this deep bond, Saratoga will give 120% seriousness to everything that has anything to do with him and strive to achieve the best results.

What are you afraid of if you have no experience? To paraphrase a classic line from Xing Ye's movie - as long as you put your heart into it, everyone can be a god of food.

Secondly, what Saratoga customized for Shi Xiaolei this time was a formal dress that was very close to the commander's uniform.

Other styles of men's clothing may still feel unfamiliar, but how could Saratoga, a ship girl, not be familiar with the commander's uniform? You know, for the ship girls, the memories of living in the old port area are real. In their memories, Shi Xiaolei had never worn casual clothes. He wore a commander's uniform and wandered around the port area every day.

An extremely deep impression has been formed in my mind, and I use this as a template to make adjustments and modifications... Compared with designing a men's clothing from scratch, this task is much less difficult. Even Saratoga, who has just reached the apprenticeship standard and is not very familiar with men's clothing design, can still handle it.

"Wow, so energetic!" No, after seeing the effect of the clothes on her upper body, Saratoga's eyes immediately showed excitement.

Lexington's reaction was similar, but because of the difference in personality, it was not as obvious as Saratoga's.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Shi Xiaolei was still a little hesitant: "I mean, would it be a bit awkward for someone as tall and strong as me to wear clothes of this style?"

"No, no, no." Saratoga shook her head, and walked forward as if fascinated, reaching out to touch Shi Xiaolei's waist: "Tsk, tsk, you are so upright, you are worthy of me. Commander, you will be here soon." Go back wearing this! Let them take a good look, maybe a lot of people will fall in love with you."
