University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
"My pants are wet," Sister Su said nervously, glancing at the exquisite embroidered chair cushion.
"That's very uncomfortable, wait a minute." Qin Xiaoyu hopped upstairs with the biscuit in her mouth, and came down with a loose-fitting dress in her hand. Sister Su should be able to fit into it.
"Go change and we'll ride in Lei's car at the store later, so you won't get wet in the rain." Qin Xiaoyu, skirt and all, was stuffed into the bathroom. Sister Su tried to refuse, but seeing that Qin Xiaoyu wouldn't listen, she had no choice but to obey.
When she came out, Sister Su's face was even redder, and she sat down on the chair awkwardly.
Sister Su always wore trousers, but she looked even more beautiful in a skirt. Qin Xiaoyu thought of her background and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Once in the car, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How is that person doing?"
"She's still alive, but she's lost an arm and has a big scar on her face. I heard she's looking for me everywhere. If she finds me, she'll kill us, mother and children." As Sister Su said this, her expression suddenly tightened, like a doe being chased by a hunter, ready to fight for her children at any moment.
"It's alright, China is so big, where would he find her?" Qin Xiaoyu felt relieved upon hearing this. When she asked Ye Qiu, he only said that Sister Su had a murder on her hands. Now that she knew she was just crippled, and besides, it was that kind of beast, so there was no need to worry about it.
"You like spicy soup, I'll bring you some more tomorrow," Sister Su changed the subject.
"Don't bother, you'll have to get up really early to come here. She likes this food, I'll take her to your place to eat," A Lei said as he drove.
This was still Qin Xiaoyu being picky; she set a rule that forbade bringing food into the store, especially anything with a strong smell.
What she can't stand the most is going into a fashion store and the whole place smelling of chive dumplings. She thinks that's disrespectful to customers, especially those who are shopping on an empty stomach. It's really unbearable.
"It's no trouble at all. Zhenzhen leaves for school early, so I have to get up too," Sister Su said with a smile.
"I heard Zhenzhen's grades aren't very good?"
“She’s fallen behind in too many courses, so I don’t dare to ask too much of her. But our eldest is about to graduate, and I want to ask you for a favor…” Sister Su lowered her head.
"I understand. I'll take her away and arrange for her to be in a safe place later." Qin Xiaoyu understood Sister Su's thoughts. She felt insecure, and saving even one child was a blessing.
"Then I'm relieved. If it weren't for these two children, I wouldn't be alive today. There was nothing I could do. Mr. Qin, I will definitely repay your great kindness to me." Sister Su's eyes were so gloomy that they looked like they were about to rain.
"Don't say that. I'm just a busybody, I'd never mind if I had to." Qin Xiaoyu smiled self-deprecatingly. She knew better than anyone how many losses she had suffered because of meddling.
Usually, Sister Su is the first one to arrive at the store and gets everything ready before opening.
Today, she was only a little late, but things looked chaotic. Qin Xiaoyu understood that Sister Su was a hard worker.
Cheng Fuyue was about to speak to Sister Su because she was late, but she kept quiet when she saw her get out of the car. Still feeling uneasy, she found a moment when no one was around and said, "She's trying to climb the social ladder, isn't she? Maybe she wants to be the store manager."
Recently, not only Qin Xiaoyu couldn't take it anymore, but Factory Director Fei was also having a hard time, constantly complaining about wanting to go back to Northeast China. So the store manager position was going to be vacant, and Cheng Fuyue's worries were not unfounded.
Qin Xiaoyu overheard this from upstairs and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. These two people were still fighting. Then she thought that Sister Su probably didn't care about this. It was Cheng Fuyue who was too scheming. Judging from this, she really wasn't cut out to be the store manager. It would be better to hire someone else.
Speaking of hiring, Qin Xiaoyu still felt a tightness in her chest looking at the half-dead flow of people.
Earning so little money isn't enough to support too many idle people. We need to expand.
"What are you going to do next?" When A Lei saw Qin Xiaoyu chewing on her pen again, he knew she had a new idea.
"My uncle's words reminded me that I should look for a few places to participate in the competition."
"Participate?"
"Yes, the country organizes award activities within its system every year. If my clothing wins an award, it will be of great benefit to the future development of the company. It will also promote the Riyue Apparel brand, making it well-known throughout the country, and naturally opening up sales channels."
"If you tell me I still need to ask Lu Di, then I'm flying straight to Beijing. I'm not coming back until I get the information out of my aunt." A Lei was really going all out.
"No, just stay put, I won't ask him anymore." Qin Xiaoyu was afraid of this jealousy, so she could only endure it.
Since we can't approach Lu Di, we have to start with the fashion street.
Ye Qiu and Qin Xiaoyu were so close that they were like one person; Ye Qiu would answer any question she had.
“Let me tell you, this isn’t an individual matter. The four major factories in Suzhou all take turns holding the position; we can’t let it affect the company’s development, right?” As soon as Ye Qiu said this, Qin Xiaoyu knew she was in a difficult position.
"So that means there's no chance?"
"You could try going back to your hometown and making some moves; maybe your local government will support you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu decided to give up. Wasn't this just bringing up Lu Di again? What a coincidence.
"When I first arrived, I didn't hear Huo Jinghong announcing over the loudspeaker that he had gone to buy supplies?"
"What? Let me tell you." Ye Qiu pulled Qin Xiaoyu aside and whispered in her ear, "This Qian Beibei is ruthless. She couldn't stand it no matter what, so she paid someone to beat up Huo Jinghong, and he was even hospitalized."
"Serves her right!" Qin Xiaoyu didn't like Qian Beibei, but on this matter, she was definitely on her side.
"However, Huo Jinghong is full of bad intentions, so we can't let him get away with this. I'm afraid this matter won't end here. There'll be some excitement to watch later."
"That's why you can't be weak. Just send him to jail. Since you're going to get revenge anyway, cripple him first." Qin Xiaoyu is always ruthless when it comes to these kinds of things. A woman can't be indecisive, or she'll be the one who suffers. Isn't Sister Su a good example?
Qian Beibei may have been clever, but she wasn't ruthless enough. This beating would have been worse than not giving it at all; it would have been a lose-lose situation.
"Hey, that woman looks familiar..." Ye Qiu left Qin Xiaoyu behind and quickly walked towards the window.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu involuntarily followed her over. A slightly plump woman in white walked past like a whirlwind. Judging from her clothes, they were from a high-end brand, and she had a powerful aura.
"Little Fish! Hurry back to the shop! Something bad is going to happen!" Ye Qiu exclaimed in alarm.
Although Qin Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on, she hurriedly chased after her.
That woman in white really was there for her shop.
"That's Fatty Hong's wife!" Ye Qiu said angrily.
Qin Xiaoyu immediately understood; this was aimed at Sister Su.
But ever since Sister Su started working at her shop, she's been so diligent and hardworking. Usually, it's Factory Manager Fei and Cheng Fuyue who are always visiting other shops, while she doesn't even leave the shop. How could she possibly get into trouble?
