The next morning, Qin Xiaoyu was woken up by a phone call from Lin Yaofangfei before she even got out of bed.

Sun & Moon Apparel once again dominated the headlines of all the newspapers. The tone was still one-sided, with everyone vying to praise them, using every single word they could think of.

If you only read the report, Qin Xiaoyu would never have guessed that it was written about her.

She has been demonized; in legends, her family is incredibly wealthy, but they live in seclusion in the interior and remain unknown. She studied fashion design abroad from a young age, under the tutelage of a prestigious school.

After starting his own business, he gathered a group of experts, such as Jie, who had won a design award in Japan, and Xu, a maverick who had returned from studying in France...

After marrying into the Fang family, she was like a tiger with wings, receiving financial support and expanding her business nationwide.

Qin Xiaoyu was overjoyed; she couldn't imagine how much Jie and Xu would laugh after seeing this.

Linda must be furious. What she's been dreaming of, Qin Xiaoyu got it so easily.

“I have a few friends in the media who would like to interview you and Master Xu. Could you arrange it? They work for a fashion magazine, which would be a great help to us and would also be free advertising,” Lin Yaofangfei said eagerly.

"No problem, you can arrange the time."

"Also, very little of this shipment arrived. When will you restock? We can't just advertise and then not ship anything, can we?" Lin Yaofangfei was getting anxious.

"I'm arranging for the factory in Guangzhou to rush production and supply you as soon as possible, don't worry."

Qin Xiaoyu hung up the phone, and A Lei had already brought up the table with a tray. She jumped out of bed, only to find one slipper, and hopped into the bathroom to wash up.

"Are you hungry?" The breakfast prepared by A Lei was very lavish, and Qin Xiaoyu wolfed it down. In order to control her figure, she had already canceled her late-night snack.

"What time did you get up?" Qin Xiaoyu asked, noticing that A Lei's face was rosy, as if he had just returned from a morning run.

"I need to work out properly. I feel like I've gained a little weight lately. Staying with you during your postpartum period has made me quite plump." A Lei leaned up and kissed her cheek before turning to take a shower.

Qin Xiaoyu was lost in thought about what Lin Yaofangfei had just said, and began to consider how to say it and what would be appropriate for Master Xu to say.

At present, it seems that we can't be too honest. The more mysterious we are, the better. Once we reveal the truth, it loses its appeal.

She's no longer on variety shows playing the victim. They can write whatever they want, as long as it doesn't smear her.

When A Lei returned, Qin Xiaoyu had changed her clothes and was ready to go downstairs.

“Once you start working, you won’t be able to gain weight,” A Lei complained, glancing at the leftover food on the table.

"I don't want to be fat." Qin Xiaoyu twisted her waist, looked at herself in the mirror, and went out the door satisfied.

Master Xu hadn't seen much of the world, and even after Qin Xiaoyu taught him for a while, she found that he still couldn't explain it clearly.

“Reporters mostly ask questions in Cantonese, and even if they use Mandarin, it's very awkward, so Mr. Xu's interview segment can be shortened very much,” Ah Lei suggested to them.

What was supposed to be a relaxing day turned into a packed schedule. In the afternoon, I even received an invitation to a dinner party for Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei that evening.

"Who is Mr. Li?" Qin Xiaoyu asked, looking at the name on the invitation with a puzzled expression.

"Wow. You've really become a guest of honor." A Lei took it and looked at it, then was surprised.

Qin Xiaoyu then realized that this Mr. Li was the famous Mr. Li, and that she had truly broken into Hong Kong's high society.

I only brought two formal dresses with me this time, so I'll have to use A Lei's reserves. The clothes in the dressing room have been hidden away for a long time, and now they finally have a chance to be shown.

Unlike her previous two fashion shows, Qin Xiaoyu aimed for a more mature and sophisticated look this time. She chose a simple white evening gown and wore a small hat, which made her look elegant, noble, and taller.

A Lei was already used to these kinds of occasions; he could just pick out any outfit and not go wrong.

When the two entered, there were already some guests. Mr. Zheng, whom they had met yesterday, rushed to greet Qin Xiaoyu and introduced her to the host. It turned out that he was the one who had made the introduction.

Qin Xiaoyu was poised and generous. She had read some reports about Mr. Li in publications and had noticed some of his private affairs.

So after a quick look around, he identified Ms. A as the most important person and decided to make a good impression on her.

She didn't linger with Mr. Li; after saying hello, she went with A Lei to meet other friends.

Ms. A had been secretly observing Qin Xiaoyu with a hint of hostility. Seeing that Qin Xiaoyu wasn't being overly friendly, she relaxed.

Needless to say, Linda was there too, but she was accompanied by an older man. This man was very tall, and his features were strikingly similar to Linda's. He must have been a handsome man in his youth, but now that he was old, his gaze was still sharp.

This is the legendary Mr. Huo. He must have heard of Qin Xiaoyu's reputation, for he took a good look at her.

Linda took his arm and walked over, greeting Qin Xiaoyu with a smile.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into Director Qin here."

That's incredibly rude of me, as if Qin Xiaoyu shouldn't have come here at all.

"Yes, what a coincidence." Qin Xiaoyu greeted them. They were all in the same circle, so there was no need to make enemies publicly. She then pulled A Lei away.

"Congratulations, you are indeed very capable, but this is just the beginning, isn't it?" Linda suddenly stepped forward, leaned down and whispered in Qin Xiaoyu's ear, her face still smiling. Anyone would have guessed that she was saying something intimate to Qin Xiaoyu.

"Then let's continue." Qin Xiaoyu maintained her smile, and then she and A Lei walked away.

The first thing I did upon returning to Guangzhou was to hold a meeting.

This quality issue has served as a wake-up call. No one expected that while they were fiercely fighting on the front lines, trouble would erupt at home.

"Looking at it now, most of the problematic clothing comes from factories in Northeast China. Factories in the South are still quite compliant with regulations." Qin Xiaoyu had already investigated. "The problem is quite serious; I should go back and take a look." Qin Xiaoyu sighed.

Things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The biggest problem with twill patchwork is the waste of fabric.

During normal cutting, you simply lay the cut cardboard on top, leaving a seam for sewing.

However, twill fabric cannot be made to fit the material; the weave must be matched, which results in many fabric scraps left over. When preparing the raw materials, the design studio factored in these natural losses.

If it were just a mistake in the workshop, there would be plenty of fabric left over. If there's no extra fabric but the accounts are balanced, then that indicates a lot of problems.

Qin Xiaoyu didn't have much breast milk, and it almost dried up when she was a little over five months old. After discussing it with her, A Lei decided to leave Xiao Jiajia behind, and the two of them went and returned quickly.

It's been a long time since Qin Xiaoyu has returned to her hometown in Northeast China. She misses it a little. Although most of her family members have moved here, there are still some lingering feelings for her there.

To her even greater surprise, her mother, upon hearing the news, decided to go back with her to visit her maternal grandmother.
