Lin Wanwan had only stayed at home for two days when Ren Zijie couldn't resist coming over.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry, but it's really a company matter that Wanwan needs to decide."

He Yumei waved her hand, "It's alright, it's alright, you guys chat. I'm taking the kids out to play. All those people in the alley are craning their necks, waiting to gossip."

Lin Wanwan smiled too.

"Wanwan, pour some tea for them."

Lu Feng stood up. "I'll go."

Ren Zijie didn't waste any words, "Regarding Lin You, Zhang Hong came over yesterday and said that she has excellent sales performance and many customers like her very much."

"I guessed it. The person is quick-witted, speaks well, and is quite professional at matching clothes for others."

"Indeed, I had someone investigate and found out that she studied fashion design."

"Really?!" Lin Wanwan exclaimed in surprise.

“I knew you’d look like that. I had someone check, and it turns out there was a family tragedy. Her mother was in the hospital waiting for money to save her life, so she dropped out of school to work.”

"What illness does her mother have? Is it serious?"

"Actually, it's not that serious, but she needs surgery. Her father passed away many years ago, and her mother is the only one earning money in the family. He is currently selling the house so that he can pay for her mother's surgery."

"What illness?"

“She has a back problem. I asked the doctor, and it’s a minor surgery. But her family doesn’t have much savings. Only her mother earns money. Now that she’s sick, the family has no income.”

What do you think of her?

Ren Zijie took the teacup from Lu Feng and said thank you.

Smiling, she said to Lin Wanwan, "I knew you would ask. It's good. I also asked Wang Fen and she said she is very perceptive and serious about her work. Maybe it's because she studied fashion design, so the clothes she puts together for customers are all very nice."

"Should we talk to her?"

"Okay, you want to hire him as a fashion designer?"

"Well, right now the company is relying entirely on me for design, which won't do. We need to bring in some fresh blood."

"Then I'll have her come over to meet you. Only you understand design."

“Okay, tell her to bring the design draft over so I can take a look. Ask her how much the expenses are for her mother, and then let me know. The company will cover it and deduct it from her salary so she won't feel guilty.”

"Okay, I'll talk to her first, but she's only a sophomore, is that okay?"

"What's wrong with that? If you can't do design, you can do something else. Isn't she doing a pretty good job?"

"Then I'll tell her."

"No need to rush. Tell her she can prepare for two days. During these two days, she doesn't need to go to the store. Instead, she should go to the hospital to take care of her mother and prepare some design drafts, even the ones she drew before."

"Okay, I'll handle it. We've almost finished hiring. Should we move to a new place?"

"Yes, I understand. Jiang Shao and his group had a building they wanted to sell before, and I'm planning to take it over. It's near the Third Store."

"Jiang Dongsheng?" Lu Feng asked, turning his head to look at her.

"Yes, it's an old building with just a small two-story building over there. It was originally privately owned, but it was said to have been requisitioned by the government before and only returned to the private owners this year. The family was scared and wanted to sell it quickly to get the money."

Why would he ask you that?

“I mentioned it once before, and I guess he took it to heart.”

“I went to see it last time. It’s not very big, but it’s quite large. It’s simply decorated and used as an office building.”

Ren Zijie nodded. "When can we sign the contract over there?"

"Let's make a trip together tomorrow. I'll have Young Master Jiang handle it; he'll be the middleman."

"Okay, then I'll prepare the contract first?"

“Yes, most of the payment has been received. I’ve done the calculations, and buying this building won’t affect the company’s operations. We’ll buy it in the company’s name.”

Ren Zijie naturally had no objection. "Okay, Ying hasn't been busy lately. Would you like to see the new store open before or after the New Year?"

"Once everyone is trained, let's pick a good day before the New Year and hold an event to build up our popularity."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After Ren Zijie left, Lu Feng put his arm around her and asked, "When did you become so close to him?"

Lin Wanwan asked in confusion, "Who? You mean Jiang Dongsheng?"

"Um."

“He’s close to me, isn’t it all because of you? Otherwise, who would Young Master Jiang possibly be interested in? He’s so arrogant.”

Lin Wanwan looked at him and said, "Lu Feng, you're not going to be jealous about this, are you?"

Lu Feng didn't say anything, but pressed her head down and kissed her.

Lin Wanwan didn't sit idle after moving in; she drew every design draft that needed to be drawn and read every book that needed to be read.

He even went with Lu Feng to cut the ribbon for the new store opening.

Looking at the opening discounts at the new store, Lu Feng looked down at her and asked, "Can we make a profit?"

"I earn less, but I make more by selling more. It's a perk for opening a store, and these are all older models, so I'm not losing money."

Lu Feng lowered his head and smiled, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Lin Wanwan glanced at him. "What are you trying to say? Are you trying to call me a shrewd businessman?"

Lu Feng put his arm around her shoulder and laughed.

"What are you laughing at? What kind of shrewd businessman am I? Young Master Jiang is the shrewd businessman."

"Yes, he's a shrewd businessman."

Jiang Dongsheng heard this sentence as soon as he arrived.

"You two, husband and wife, really speak the truth without reservation!"

Lu Feng turned to look at him, "So what if I talk bad about you? I'd rather you come empty-handed than not come back and I'd beat you up."

"Hey, you two are bullies."

Xia Yang came over to greet her, and Lin Wanwan smiled. She liked Xia Yang quite a bit.

"What brings you here today?"

The question was directed at Xia Yang, but the answer came from Jiang Dongsheng.

"I have to support my sister-in-law's new store opening."

Lu Feng didn't stand on ceremony, "You came empty-handed to show your support?"

As they were talking, Gu Bei walked over.
