Man Ai-hung was the most proactive; she didn't come over after getting off the plane but went to Central first.

Later that evening, she arrived together with Lin Yaofangfei. The two got out of the car and walked side by side, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyu outside the window, Lin Yaofangfei stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously.

Qin Xiaoyu was amused by her, and the two walked inside hand in hand, laughing heartily.

A Lei noticed that Qin Xiaoyu's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

As soon as they entered, Qin Xiaoyu greeted them warmly.

"I'm hungry, when is dinner?" Man Aihong asked rudely.

"Let's eat now," Qin Xiaoyu said hurriedly.

Man Aihong is now the sales director of Riyue Apparel's China region, and is practically the head of the company.

They only restrained themselves somewhat in front of Qin Xiaoyu; once they went down for a walk, their stomping feet would shake the ground.

Qin Xiaoyu intended to establish her authority, so she didn't suppress her and let her do as she pleased. Qin Xiaoyu knew how to handle this; some people couldn't be indulged, but others could only be truly effective by making her one of her own.

Now, General Manager Deng has withdrawn from sales and is fully engaged in preparations for the shareholding reform.

This child is studying hard; he has the strongest ability to learn new knowledge. It's much easier for him to do this than to let those old guys with low levels of education do it.

"Xiaoyu, you're getting more and more beautiful. I'm so surprised. You're so busy all day, but you don't seem to age." Lin Yaofangfei always had a sweet tongue, and Qin Xiaoyu was used to it, so she complimented her a few times as well.

"You're getting more and more beautiful. Where did you go on vacation? Your skin tone is so beautiful." This is probably Lin Yaofangfei's only advantage: her skin is a healthy wheat color.

"I didn't feel anything? Really? I recently went to XJP, maybe it's from the sun." Lin Yaofangfei laughed.

"How's the market over there?" Qin Xiaoyu asked casually.

"It's alright. It's different over there than in the mainland. There are many more brands there, so our brand doesn't have an absolute advantage. We can only get a share of the pie. I think it's already pretty good. Doesn't Chanel operate like this too?" Lin Yaofangfei and Qin Xiaoyu walked into the restaurant, where Man Aihong was already seated.

"Sister Man has a lot of insights into sales, you two should chat more," Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile to Man Aihong.

"We were just chatting." Man Aihong had already started eating, and without waiting for her to offer, she began to eat heartily, clearly starving.

“Yes, Ms. Man is very capable. Please come and guide me more often in the future. My market here is just average. I imagine Xiaoyu is not satisfied either, but she hasn’t criticized me openly.” Lin Yaofangfei also said with a smile. She was testing the waters. When Qin Xiaoyu did not respond, she smiled and said, “I heard that your family’s private chef is very good. I’d like to have a chance to try him.”

"This is specially made for the little fish, you're in for a treat," A Lei recommended the steamed gecko and egg dish in the middle.

"This is too much to eat." Lin Yaofangfei was a little disappointed. It was an ordinary dish, and she only took a symbolic amount. But after taking one bite, she nodded repeatedly. "Does this chef have magic tricks? This egg is no longer an egg."

Qin Xiaoyu didn't eat much; her mouth was constantly moving on the way, and she took a nap in the afternoon, so she didn't digest much.

"You all eat more. I'm lucky I can eat anything now. Luckily, I don't have much of a reaction, just a bit nauseous." Seeing that she had no appetite and didn't talk much, Lin Yaofangfei wisely finished eating and said goodbye.

"Get some rest. You get tired easily these days. I won't bother you anymore." Lin Yaofangfei was reluctant to leave, and there were some questions she wanted to ask but couldn't say.

Qin Xiaoyu saw it all, but pretended not to know.

As soon as Lin Yaofangfei left, Qin Xiaoyu and Man Aihong entered the study, both of them with serious expressions.

"Sister Man, tell me. I can tell."

"This is a bit troublesome," Man Aihong sighed.

After leaving the airport, she took a taxi to Central. Lin Yaofangfei had a shop there, and Man Aihong wanted to conduct a surprise inspection.

This was something she and Qin Xiaoyu had agreed upon. Sales figures from XG were somewhat disappointing. It wasn't that the money was less; sales had been steadily increasing, but the rate of increase was slowing down.

Man Aihong needs to investigate whether the issue is due to product popularity or quality problems.

Central was bustling. It was Man Ai Hong's first time there, and she felt a little dizzy as soon as she entered. She wandered around Block A and Block B for a long time, feeling like she would never find Lin Yao Fangfei's shop in her lifetime, so she went into a milk tea shop.

After taking a sip of bubble tea, Man Ai Hong felt completely revitalized and became more alert, only then realizing that Lin Yao Fang Fei's shop was right across the street.

It has to be said that this location is excellent; it's right at an intersection with a lot of people coming and going.

Judging from the number of customers entering the store, the revenue must be substantial, and Man Aihong already had a question mark in her mind. She steadily bit into the last pearl before standing up and walking over.

The sales assistants in the store were all busy, but when they saw Man Aihong come in, one of them still managed to squeeze out a moment to greet her, which showed they were all quite well-mannered. She then ruled out a few more options.

Man Aihong selected a few items and went into the fitting room.

The fitting rooms in these stores are all beautifully decorated and fully equipped. She didn't rush to try on the clothes; instead, she sat down and examined the labels on the clothes in her hand—every single one was fine.

That's the first step. The second step is to check the fabric. Because of Qin Xiaoyu's price increase plan, she monopolized the materials used by Riyue Clothing.

Other domestic fabric factories want to install new machines but are hesitant due to the high investment costs. Other garment manufacturers lack design capabilities and worry that even with expensive fabrics, they won't be able to sell them at a good price without suitable designs. As a result, Riyue Apparel products are almost never seen in the market.

Some may appear, but their skill level is immediately apparent, and they pose no threat to them.
