“Yes, I came with Xiaoyu. I didn’t bring many clothes, so I just bought two sets. I’m a very carefree person, and Xiaoyu said she wouldn’t take me out anymore if I kept doing this, haha,” Man Aihong said casually.

Lin Yaofangfei was quite suspicious; she harbored doubts in her heart, but she couldn't show them.

"Oh dear, there's a loose thread here. Let's get another one," Lin Yaofangfei said, tugging at the hem of the dress. She immediately noticed the problem with the clothes and inwardly groaned. This was a high-quality counterfeit.

“It’s alright, it’s better to sell it to me if there’s a loose thread. It’s troublesome to sell it to others, and I’m not picky, it’s a family matter.” This was evidence, so Man Aihong certainly couldn’t take it off. Afraid that Lin Yaofangfei would cause trouble, she quickly said, “Let’s go back quickly, I’m really hungry. Xiaoyu is waiting for us.”

"Okay, let's go together, it's on the way."

Lin Yaofangfei was afraid that saying too much would arouse her suspicion, so she had no choice but to go out with her. The two chatted and laughed, and were very intimate, but they had already been fighting dozens of battles in their hearts.

Qin Xiaoyu examined the clothes that Man Aihong had brought back carefully, and her judgment was correct: they were high-quality replicas, almost flawless.

Linda really went all out; this is quite a big deal.

"Xiaoyu, should we take back the agency rights?" Man Aihong wanted to hear Qin Xiaoyu's opinion.

"Just taking it back would be too easy on them." Qin Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then stood up, walked to the window, and looked out. Below the mountain, thousands of lights shone, all of them struggling for money, and all living beings suffered.

She just felt uncomfortable thinking that Lin Yaofangfei had followed her for so long, gone through the lows and suffered together, and yet she still betrayed her. These people were only after their own interests, which was disheartening, so she didn't want to show any mercy.

Such people cannot be allowed to live; they must be eradicated completely, otherwise, if too many follow suit, it will cause trouble in the future.

Qin Xiaoyu's goal is for everyone, regardless of which brand, will have a sense of awe when they hear the name Riyue Clothing and dare not imitate it. This is the fundamental solution.

Now is not the time to take action. We should stick to the original plan. The fashion show is important, and introducing new designers is the main objective.

Falling out with Lin Yaofangfei now will only create trouble for me. It won't take more than a day or two to deal with her.

Lin Yaofangfei is a sensitive person. She still called in the evening, ostensibly to greet Qin Xiaoyu, to show concern for a pregnant woman, and to inquire about her well-being.

“Ah Lei took good care of me, there’s nothing wrong with that. Please keep an eye on the fashion show tomorrow. Sister Man is a good person in every way, except for one thing: she doesn’t pay enough attention to details. We’re counting on you.” Qin Xiaoyu deliberately muttered to herself, which matched what Man Aihong had said, and Lin Yaofangfei’s worries disappeared.

"Ms. Man is a woman of great courage and decisiveness. She is not someone that we women can understand. She may be a bit rough around the edges. I will just pay more attention to her."

"Then get some rest early, tomorrow will be tiring." Qin Xiaoyu yawned, and Lin Yaofangfei tactfully hung up the phone.

Qin Xiaoyu lay on the bed, listening to the rain outside the window. The room was warm, and there was condensation on the window, but a chill was in the air.

“I told you Linda was unreliable.” Are heard this and understood.

“Last time it was Dad who started it, otherwise I wouldn’t have given her a chance. Now she’s brought this on herself, I’ve already given them chances.” Qin Xiaoyu felt that her heart was harder than before. In the past, she would have hesitated, but now she was ruthless and didn’t hesitate at all.

The heavier the burden on her shoulders, the more ruthless she had to be. Now that the company had grown large and there were more and more people on board, she was responsible for their livelihoods, so she had to be even more cautious in her actions.

"Don't frown." A Lei reached out and smoothed the frown lines between her brows.

"Once Lisheng has successfully completed the shareholding reform, I'll be much more relaxed. I need to maximize the enthusiasm of these employees." Qin Xiaoyu nestled her head into A Lei's arms.

“You’re talking about Lisheng, and I almost laugh. The shareholding reform and future stock listings you talked about with him last time scared the kid.” A Lei couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about it.

"He contacted you?"

"Yes, he contacted me. He asked me if I was a deity descended to earth, and how I knew about the future."

"how do you say?"

"I said yes."

"You're so mean." Qin Xiaoyu punched A Lei lightly, then thought there was no other explanation. Should she say she was from another time? That would probably only confuse Li Sheng even more. It was better not to tell the child about this.

“You always say it will be great once the shareholding system is implemented. I just hope that one day I can take the children around the world with you. Just tell me when that day will come.”

"Two years, give me two more years. But I'm afraid Hanhan won't be able to stay with us anymore." Qin Xiaoyu felt sad thinking about Hanhan being alone.

Who would have thought he would walk this path? It's both a source of pride and heartache.

“With my dad around, he’s not lonely.” A Lei’s words brought Qin Xiaoyu a little comfort.

"I can't see what my little sister can do in the future." Qin Xiaoyu had thought about this many times in her mind. Her little sister plays the piano very well, but she can't be the best. In the end, she's too old and unwilling to work hard. In this industry, talent alone is not enough. Without hard work, you can't be the best.

She's just so-so about her studies, has no interest in business, and while she has a good eye for fashion design, she only cares about wearing things and doesn't care about anything else. What kind of career should she pursue in the future?

“I think you’re overthinking this. Does our daughter have to do something specific? Let her do what she likes. It’s okay if she gives up halfway. We can afford to support her anyway. She can just live the life she wants.” A Lei was truly open-minded.

"Okay, I'm just worried that she won't be able to get married."

"I'm worried about that too. My standards are a bit too high. We'll see when the time comes," A Lei sighed.

"If you put it that way, I'm afraid my little sister won't be able to get married. Your standards aren't just a little high, they're way too high."

"That won't do either. We can't let our precious daughter grow old alone. It's always good to have someone with her, but we can't relax our requirements."

"Look, you're the one who tells me not to have to be the best in everything. People can be mediocre, there's nothing wrong with that. But when it comes to my daughter choosing a partner, you won't let up at all."

“If that’s what you’re saying, I’ll argue with you. Are these the same thing?” A Lei became serious, his eyes shining, all sleepiness gone.

"Wait, isn't it a bit early to talk about this?"

Qin Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that her little sister was only eleven years old. Were they, as parents, thinking too far ahead?

Because the fashion show was in the evening, Qin Xiaoyu slept in late before getting up. Her older sister and A Lei were chatting downstairs when Qin Xiaoyu came down in her bathrobe, yawning as she walked.

"I was always sleepy when I was pregnant with my son, so I hope you don't have another son," the older woman muttered.

"No!" Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei exclaimed in unison, startling their older sister.

"Sigh, I've accepted my son's situation. I'll only have this one more child anyway," A Lei said with a bitter face. He figured the child would be heartbroken when he found out he was being disliked like this after the baby was born.

"I really want to have another child," the older sister sighed.

"Then let's have the baby." Qin Xiaoyu sat down next to her, glancing at A Lei who had glared at her.

"Who will I have a child with?" the older sister asked with a worried look. Qin Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and understood—they were divorced again.
