Xiao Jin originally wanted to participate in this fashion show. However, although her final grades had improved, they still hadn't met the weekly and monthly requirements, and Deng Jianyan didn't dare to let her off the hook, so she couldn't go on stage.

"Xiao Jin, you'll have to prove yourself with your grades. If you get good grades, I can still help you. Right now, my words don't carry any weight, and I'll end up embarrassing myself along with you," Qin Xiaoyu sighed.

"Okay, Auntie, you just wait and see!"

"Xiaoyu, I think Xu Jingye will be the most outstanding one in our team in the future." Zhou Yue praised Xu Jingye's design.

"Don't you feel that the inspiration for this dress comes from Issey Miyake's pleats?"

"That's true. But the design is entirely his own."

"This is probably a gift from the ancestors; they have talent, and you can't be jealous of it."

Qin Xiaoyu now has great confidence in her design team.

When she returns to Guangzhou, she will be able to fully utilize her talents.

The success of this fashion show has made Riyue Apparel even more popular. The provincial daily newspaper called to ask if we had any pictures for a supplementary news article.

Qin Xiaoyu asked Xu Jingye for a few copies and sent them over. The next day, they were published in the newspaper, taking up half a page.

Lu Di was so happy that he called and praised Qin Xiaoyu for half an hour, while A Lei's face turned green.

Qin Xiaoyu deliberately didn't coax him, and the two of them didn't say a word on the way home.

Building No. 4 was bustling with activity. Sister-in-law Xiao Si and Zhou Xing's mother were chatting when they saw Qin Xiaoyu come in and went to greet her.

"Your eldest nephew is amazing, he beat someone up." Fourth Sister-in-law shoved Xiao Zhengxin into Qin Xiaoyu's arms.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu saw tear stains on Xiao Zhengxin's face and knew that he had been scolded.

It was her insistence that Xiao Zhengxin go to kindergarten. Compared to Xiao Zichen, Xiao Si Sao's ability to take care of children is far inferior to that of her aunt.

Although my aunt is a grandparent, she has always been a rational person who is very strict and principled in her approach to the education of her children.

Fourth Sister-in-law is still a child herself, like a monkey. One minute she's holding her eldest son and kissing him, the next she's annoyed and telling him not to bother her! Now that she has a little one, it's perfect for her to be free.

The nanny in the house is like a puppet, acting according to Qi Si's mood and having no say in anything.

Qi Si agreed with Qin Xiaoyu's idea. Sending her to kindergarten would allow her to learn something. Xiao Si's wife herself didn't even graduate from junior high school, and she had long forgotten what she had learned.

Qin Xiaoyu personally selected the kindergarten; it was the Municipal Party Committee Kindergarten, where most of the parents were government employees, and the children's parents were generally of a higher caliber.

She was also worried that Xiao Zhengxin was used to being arrogant at home and would bully other children if she went there, and sure enough, she took action on the first day.

"It's not our child's fault. That child snatched his toy, and when he refused to give it to him, he was pushed and fell, which made him panic." The nanny had been following them the whole time, as she was worried on the first day and had been keeping watch outside the window, so she saw everything clearly.

Qin Xiaoyu didn't take her side of the story too seriously, probably because she was trying to protect Xiao Zhengxin's opinion.

"How is the child who was beaten? Should we apologize to him?" Qin Xiaoyu was concerned about the aftermath.

"And they even said the kid they beat was surnamed Zuo, and that he was the mayor's son..."

"Zuo?" Qin Xiaoyu chuckled. Let them fight then. Zuo Xiangyang's son, is this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road? The grudges of the previous generation have come back to haunt the next.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, tomorrow take some fruit to the teacher and give her a brief explanation. Our child is wild and needs to be disciplined for a few days. He needs to be disciplined, but don't be too harsh. Take it slow." Qin Xiaoyu taught Fourth Sister-in-law what to say little by little.

"If you ask me, just keep her at home and look after her." The nanny has developed feelings for Xiao Zhengxin. Now that Xiao Zhengxin is in kindergarten, she is taking care of Xinxin. The little one doesn't know how to comfort people and always feels that she doesn't have a bigger family.

"We definitely have to go to kindergarten. We'll be in Guangzhou by tomorrow, otherwise it'll be too late to change our ways," Qin Xiaoyu said hastily, afraid that her sister-in-law would overhear gossip and get upset.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Fourth Sister-in-law nodded.

"In another year or two, they'll all be gone," Commander Wang remarked with emotion.

“I’ve been thinking about leaving all day, and I’ve thought about it too. But then I realized that someone has to stay in our hometown. Everyone has a big business, so I’ll stay and look after the house for you.” My sister-in-law said this, but she was still a little reluctant to leave her daughter.

Originally, they wanted Fengqin to marry someone nearby so they could look after each other, but they didn't expect them to move their whole family south.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll be there with you. We won't be able to leave. Also, you really need to look after things here. Why don't you bring your in-laws over too? It'll be more lively with more people, otherwise these buildings will be empty." Qin Xiaoyu planned to call the Ge family back after they moved out, as it wouldn't be good for the buildings to be empty all the time.

"It's too early to calculate this now. It's the New Year, the New Year. Talking about it too much will make us sad," Zhou Xing's mother said hurriedly.

Qin Xiaoyu's modeling team had a bumper harvest, and the design studio had also expanded. They were just waiting for the spring collection season to make a big splash and redeem themselves.

Needless to say, the third-prize jacket became a top-selling item. A quick trial sale at the counter, and it sold out before the season even started.

Zhou Yue was so excited by the fashion show that she said she would go back to work after February, and Qin Xiaoyu could rest assured that she could leave the design studio to her.

Xu Xiaoqing from the high-end order department, although young, is much more reliable than Wang Lingling in handling matters, and is also humble and polite. Although the women in the high-end order department are all female workers, they are all treasures.

With an average tenure of over twenty years, it would be difficult to maintain order without a capable person.

Qin Xiaoyu was initially worried, but to her surprise, the little girl, with her gentle smile and warm personality, became the darling of a group of elderly women.

"One must first be a good person before doing anything else; Little Xu is truly kind." Master Xu's words revealed the secret.

Qin Xiaoyu's heart tightened; it seemed she couldn't relax yet. If a kind person isn't clever enough, they could easily be taken advantage of and end up being taken advantage of even more severely. Xu Xiaoqing still needed more experience.

It's not that Qin Xiaoyu is being paranoid; she's just more likely to suffer losses at the hands of honest people.

After the Lantern Festival, and after staying at home for two more days, Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei took Hanhan and Xiaomei to Guangzhou.

A Lei promised them that he would go to Oriental Paradise.

This was the family's first trip together, and the children were clearly excited. The younger sister, being outgoing, expressed herself easily. Hanhan, however, was quite reserved and seemed a little worried.

"Let him go, and we'll get Grandpa out soon." Qin Xiaoyu knew he couldn't let go of Commander Zhou.

The festive atmosphere in Guangzhou is not as strong as in Northeast China. Work has resumed in many places long ago, and migrant workers from other places are returning one after another.

During this period, the store gradually improved after the style was changed. Although the sales were not as high as expected when we first came to Guangzhou, they were not deserted either.

A Lei bought four tickets to Oriental Paradise. Qin Xiaoyu was even more excited than the two children and could no longer control herself.

After running up and down the stairs for ages, she finally got ready and stood at the door.
