Jin Shu didn't want to experience that feeling of being at the mercy of others because of her weakness a second time.

So she dared not stop for a second, like a donkey pulling a millstone with its eyes closed, not knowing how far she could go, but just charging forward in one go.

Because of the increased production, by the time other manufacturers realized they were trying to capitalize on the popularity of the TV series, the entire market was almost entirely filled with Sachiko's outfits designed by Jin Shu.

This autumn, if you don't have a gray striped Sachiko outfit, it just means you're not fashionable enough.

No one would have guessed that the once-popular clothing actually came from a village in a remote border town in the far north.

Jin Shu's savings account has increased by another 30,000.

No one could have imagined that a teenage girl from the countryside would become the biggest hidden tycoon in the area.

Having made money, Jin Shu naturally needed to cultivate good relationships with others.

The village secretary, the leaders of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the factory employees, and the boss of the garment factory all helped me back then.

When Jin Shu arrived with the gifts, the boss stood up to greet her.

"What are you doing? You've come all this way, why did you bring anything?"

"Thank you for your care. Now that everything is back to normal at the factory, I naturally have to come and express my gratitude."

Jin Shu was impeccable in terms of etiquette.

Although the boss declined verbally, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction after seeing what Jin Shu had brought.

"Where did you learn all these skills, little girl? If my daughter were half as clever as you, I wouldn't be working myself to death negotiating business deals every day."

"Everyone has their strengths. I just have a natural talent for exploring these things. It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer."

The boss personally sent someone to drive her back.

This is a black Santana, which could sell for over 200,000 yuan back then, and even then, it was hard to find a buyer.

The boss has three or four more cars like this.

Jin Shu once again felt the gap between the rich and the poor. She thought she had earned enough recently, but she never expected that she couldn't even afford a car.

The driver kept talking to Jin Shu the whole way.

At such a young age, he was able to become the personal driver for a garment factory owner, a job that would be quite respectable by today's standards, with a decent salary. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a suitable partner.

Jin Shu's expression remained indifferent, as if she couldn't detect the admiration in the driver's tone at all.

"Miss Jin, are you still in school?"

"Um."

"Did you take the college entrance exam?"

"No."

Jin Shu's composed demeanor always makes people overlook her youthful face.

Seeing that the driver wanted to say something, Jin Shu looked at him and said only one sentence.

I am sixteen years old.

The 27-year-old driver immediately fell silent.

Sixteen, much younger than his sister.

It was much quieter now. The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the village. The Santana was already quite conspicuous, but there were two of them parked in the small field.

The driver was also a little curious; who would bring someone to a place like this for no reason?

"Okay, that's all for now, thank you."

"It's okay, I'll take you home. My boss asked me to."

"No need, there's a traffic jam ahead and it's inconvenient for you."

The driver got out of the car and took the things the boss had returned with him. Because there were too many things, he and Jin Shu had to carry them back together.

Just as I passed the car in front, the door suddenly opened, and two people got out of the back seat. They didn't look very old.

Jin Shu kept her gaze fixed on the rice paddy in front of her, pondering how to expand the factory.

"Jin Shu?"

Suddenly someone called her name from behind.

Jin Shu turned around, and a bespectacled boy wearing a white shirt and black sweater walked over.

He was fair-skinned, gentle, and somewhat thin. He carefully avoided the weeds with his sneakers as he walked along the path in the fields.

Upon seeing him, a person immediately flashed through Jin Shu's mind.

Chu Dong.

The original owner's childhood sweetheart, the two families have always had a good relationship. They went to the countryside together and returned to the city together. Now the Chu family is also in the clothing business.

He seemed very happy when he saw Jin Shu.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect to see you as soon as I got back."

"Yeah, long time no see."

Before Chu Dong could say anything more, another person who got out of the car walked up to him and affectionately took his arm.

"Jin Shu, I've come back to visit. Why do you look so cold? Aren't you welcoming us?"

Jin Yin wore a white long dress from head to toe, paired with a cashmere coat and high-heeled leather boots, which instantly made her 1.5-meter height appear to be nearly 1.6 meters.

She raised her head, glancing casually at the Santana behind her, then looked at the man standing next to Jin Shu.

"Is this your boyfriend/girlfriend? Is he here to give you a gift? Are you getting married?"

That's true. Rural girls don't go to school, so what else can they do if they don't get married?

However, judging from her boyfriend, he was dressed in a suit, drove a luxury car, and carried large bags of expensive gifts; he seemed to be in very good financial shape.

Jin Yin was a little curious about how Jin Shu managed to find such a wealthy partner.

“I’m not Ms. Jin’s boyfriend. I’m just helping my boss take Ms. Jin home.”

"Your boss? Who is your boss?"

The driver frowned, feeling that the girl's tone was somewhat arrogant.

At this moment, Jin Shu casually remarked.

"No need for pleasantries, he's not someone very important, let's go."

After saying that, he led the way home.

The driver hurriedly followed, only thinking about completing his mission and returning home as soon as possible.

After arriving home and dropping off his things, the driver went home.

As soon as Jin Shu sat down, Jin He immediately brought her a bowl of water and eagerly smiled at her.

"Sister, have some water."

After the busy farming season ended, the three brothers had some free time. Seeing how good Jinhe was at currying favor, the two older brothers were not to be outdone. One helped carry their clothes, and the other offered them freshly boiled eggs.

"Sister, you've worked hard. Have something to eat."

Jin Shu nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, very polite. Go ahead, there are cookies in that box over there, help yourself."

Jin Shu's generosity and magnanimity have completely won over the three brothers. Now, if Jin Shu tells them to go east, they will never go west, as obedient as a little yellow dog tied up in the yard.

Just then, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and the black Santana was parked in front of the house. Jin Yin got out of the car, rubbing her arms, looking very lazy and casual, and stood at the gate looking around.

The villagers, who had some free time, all came to take a look. This kind of car was extremely rare. In all their years, this was the first time they had seen a luxury car up close.

Jin Yin directly asked the women sitting under the tree.

Have you seen my mom?

The woman was sewing a black vest in her arms without looking up. Only after hearing Jin Yin's words did she raise her head and glance at it.

Of course, it was only for a glance before he quickly lowered his gaze again.

"Hey, isn't this Jin Yin? You're back to see your mom? She's at the factory, she probably won't be back until tonight."
