Time flies, and Yu Zihan and Zhou Yiran have opened three boutique clothing stores in the capital. The clothes sold in their clothing stores are all their own brands.

When Boss Jin first saw Yu Zihan's clothing designs, he was deeply impressed and immediately made the decision, ordering raw materials and scheduling production. Zhou Yiran also participated in the entire process of the goods, from design drawings to finished garments, in Pengcheng.

Throughout this process, Zhou Yiran became impressed by Boss Jin's business acumen and work style. Boss Jin, in turn, was drawn to Zhou Yiran's personality. Gradually, their relationship evolved from business partnership to romance.

Boss Jin's Jinhui Garment Factory expanded further, becoming a leading garment factory in the industry. The "Liren" brand also became a leader in high-end women's clothing.

Zhou Yiran and his family bought a new property in the capital. Since Zhou's mother liked courtyard houses, they bought a fairly large one.

It was the day Zhou Bingxuan and Yu Zihan took the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) exam. For these two academic elites, the exam wasn't a stressful experience. After the intense exam, Yu Zihan had some free time. She decided to travel to Shenzhen to visit the renowned Jinhui Garment Factory and seek inspiration for her next season's collection.

Yu Zihan, with her outstanding grades, appearance, and unique personality, quickly rose through the ranks at Imperial Capital University, becoming a prominent figure on campus. During her sophomore year, she received a notice from her counselor asking her to come to the office. Yu Zihan arrived with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Zihan asked politely.

The counselor smiled at this outstanding student. In just two years, she had brought so much to the school. She was sure to achieve great things in the future. "Yu Zihan," the counselor said with satisfaction, "in a month, our school will send representatives to participate in the International University Business Elite Challenge in country XX. We have two spots available. One is for you, and the other is for graduate student Li Muhan."

The instructor continued, "The competition schedule and pre-training arrangements are detailed in the document. Please go back and take a good look at it. I hope you can achieve excellent results in the competition and bring honor to our school and our country."

Yu Zihan accepted the documents and thanked her teacher. She understood the importance of this competition and the expectations of her school and country. She resolved to give it her all and live up to their trust.

Yu Zihan said goodbye to her instructor, her heart filled with excitement and nervousness. She knew this was a rare opportunity, but also a huge challenge. She would face outstanding competitors from around the world, and she had to show her best. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would achieve excellent results.

After returning home, Yu Zihan carefully read the document. This competition was a highly prestigious international event. The gold medalist would receive investment for a project and admission to a prestigious university in a certain country. Ten domestic participants, representing seven universities across China, were participating.

A month before the competition, they would attend a three-week training camp at Imperial Capital University. Yu Zihan checked the schedule and saw that training would begin the day after tomorrow. So she went to the clothing store to find Zhou Yiran, handing her the design drawings and telling her that she would be running a hands-off shop for a few more months.

The two were chatting in the store when three student-looking girls pushed the door open and came in. Fu Quyuan hurriedly greeted them.

"The clothes here are really nice, but a bit pricey. A dress costs five thousand. And it's not a world-famous brand." Yu Zihan looked at the person who spoke. What a narrow path for enemies. This person was none other than Xu Anna. Her clothes looked quite expensive. Who knew where she was studying now?

When Xu Anna saw Yu Zihan sitting there, her face instantly turned sour.

"I like this set." One of the girls pointed to a long skirt and a knitted cardigan and said to the others. The waiter began to explain the advantages of the outfit to her in detail and invited her to the fitting room to try it on.

The girl took the clothes to the fitting room, and another girl chose a short skirt and went to try it on. Xu Anna also chose a long skirt.

After they emerged from the fitting room, they stared at themselves in the mirror. Their clothes made them look youthful, lively, and sunny. Yu Zihan praised them in her heart, though she had contributed to that as well.

"How much is this dress?" a girl asked.

"The clothes in our store are always clearly priced, no bargaining." The waiter said to the girl, pointing to a piece of paper posted on the glass that read "Clearly marked prices, no bargaining."

"This dress plus the outer layer costs three thousand six hundred." The girl obviously liked it but hesitated when she saw the price.

"What brand is yours? And you refuse to bargain. Don't you know that clothing stores nowadays cut prices in half?" Xu Anna asked Yu Zihan sharply, hearing how expensive the dress was. She had known for a long time that Yu Zihan owned the shop. After her mother paid the rent to Yu Meijuan, she began to keep an eye on the shop and had seen Yu Zihan in and out of it many times. And seeing the business booming, she and her daughter were jealous.

Because she was afraid of the embarrassment of meeting Yu Zihan, she had never come here to spend money. Today, her good friend wanted to buy clothes, so they came here. Unexpectedly, the prices here were beyond her affordability.

We don't care about other people, the rule of our store is no bargaining." Originally, Yu Zihan would not talk like this to customers, but when she saw Xu Anna's condescending attitude, she was unwilling to do this business.

"Oh, is this how you treat customers? Don't you know the popular saying these days, 'Customers are God?' Is this how you treat God?" Provoked by Yu Zihan's words, Xu Anna vented years of resentment and jealousy, so her words were harsh, so much so that her companions beside her lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"You're not even worthy of being treated like a god here. Don't you know what you and your wicked mother have done to my mother and me? You're so shameless coming here to make a name for yourself. I'm making this clear today: Bixu Anna is an unwelcome customer in our store. We won't do business with you. Goodbye."

Her two companions heard their argument and realized that the two had an old grudge. They didn't want to stay there anymore, so they returned their clothes to the waiter and left. When Xu Anna saw her companions leave, she looked at Yu Zihan angrily and left as well.

"Mu Han, Zi Xuan, wait for me." She caught up with her companions breathlessly.
