When Zhong Yuan and Da Fu returned in the evening, they expressed their deep concern for the current situation of their 307 Clothing Company.

After explaining the situation at their company, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Didn't you ask about Xin Xin and Xiao Yue?"

"I asked," Zhong Yuan explained. "You guys must have run into trouble to go to another city so suddenly. I was just worried that Xin Xin would only tell me the good news and not the bad."

Dafu also said, "Yes, Xiaoyue is the kind of person who can keep things to herself. I'm just afraid that she's under too much pressure and is too embarrassed to tell me."

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, her gaze sweeping over the three of them. "You three brothers are all destined for a life of constant toil, always worrying about something!"

Zhong Yuan rolled his eyes. "Brother Zong, if you ask me, you really need to teach Xiao Li a lesson. Look at how she doesn't take things seriously!"

Zong Jia paused, his hand still holding the food. He glanced at the now energetic little girl and said, "Yes, she's already been disciplined."

Jiang Xiaoli recalled the few slaps she received on the buttocks and gave him a threatening look.

Zong Jia smiled and gave her a reassuring look that he would keep it a secret.

Dafu's eyes swept over the two of them. "Oh, what happened that you don't want us to know?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan suddenly became excited, "What is it? What is it?"

Jiang Xiaoli, annoyed, put a piece of leafy green vegetable, which he disliked the most, into his bowl. "Curiosity killed the cat! Eat your food!"

Zhong Yuan frowned as he ate the few pieces of vegetables. "Little Pear, you'll have no friends if you keep doing this!"

She bared her teeth and threatened, "Do you believe that you'll become a single dog before I do?"

"It's no big deal, it's not that serious. Little Pear is so popular, everyone has friends, you're not without friends!"

After saying that, Zhong Yuan put the last few shrimp on the plate into her bowl in one go, saying, "Little Pear, you must be tired from your business trip. Eat more shrimp to replenish your energy."

Zong Jia and He Dafu watched them fooling around with a smile.

On Tuesday, Jiang Xiaoli and three others went to Fang Yong to report back from class.

Fang Yong asked with concern, "Have you taken care of things at the company?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "It's been dealt with for now. There might be further adjustments later, but I won't be taking any leave anytime soon."

Fang Yong smiled and said, "It's alright. As long as you ensure your safety, feel free to come to me if you need anything. I'm here to serve you!"

The group thanked him in unison.

After class, the five of them went to the company for a meeting.

Chang Yue was the first to pull out a small notebook and say, "This time, the First Garment Factory broke its promise. Although we found three other garment factories to do the OEM, the cost has gone up quite a bit."

Ren Zhiyi nodded. "Indeed, those two garment factories in Jinshi only accepted our orders because they wanted to earn processing fees for rush orders."

Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "It's okay, this initial cost is still within our acceptable range. The main issue now is the clothing factories we'll cooperate with later. I mean, all four of these companies can be considered as options, and we'll decide based on their cost-effectiveness. What do you think?"

Hu Jingxin expressed her agreement, saying, "Actually, I think this garment factory in Baocheng is quite sincere."

Yan Chengcheng nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoli and I visited their workshop. Although it's not very big, it's very suitable for our company's current size."

After discussing it, the group decided to wait and see the quality of this large shipment before deciding on the garment factory.

Jiang Xiaoli looked at Ren Zhiyi and asked, "Zhiyi, how's the contact with the lawyer going?"

Ren Zhiyi nodded. "I contacted the lawyer Zhai you mentioned, but he became hesitant when he heard that the other party was from the Xue family. I don't think it's a good idea."

Jiang Xiaoli lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "It's alright, then let's find another lawyer. There are always brave people who are not afraid of power. I'll look for another one."

At the same time, she also mentally blacklisted the lawyer Zhai she had worked with.

Moving on to the next topic, Hu Jingxin raised her hand and asked, "Given the current situation, should our new store plan proceed as normal?"

The others answered in unison, "Yes!"

"OK!" Hu Jingxin smiled and opened her notebook. She read out five addresses. "These are the store locations I found for our new store. We'll wait for the shareholders to inspect them and then decide on them!"

Jiang Xiaoli looked at the addresses of the five stores and couldn't help but admire that Xiao Hu was really going all out to exploit Lao Hu.

Noticing her gaze, Hu Jingxin stuck out her tongue. "This time, it's not me taking advantage of my dad; he offered it to me willingly! These spots weren't really suitable for our household cosmetics anyway!"

The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw her rushing to explain.

Yan Chengcheng clutched her stomach. "Xin Xin, you've practically confessed without being asked! Xiao Li didn't say anything!"

Hu Jingxin smiled sheepishly, "I was just afraid you'd misunderstand!"

Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "You've already fought for resources for us from Uncle's hands, we're more than grateful to you!"

On the advice of Ren Zhiyi, a native of Beijing, they selected three out of the five shops.

“Okay, none of us have classes on Thursday afternoon, let’s go look at the shop the day after tomorrow.”

After the group finished discussing company matters, it was already lunchtime, and Yan Chengcheng's stomach started growling.

Immediately afterwards, the others also shouted that they were hungry.

Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand and said, "Let's go, it's a team building activity for the shareholders of 307. Let's go have a good meal today!"

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the group of five suddenly found themselves accompanied by three tagalongs.

Zong Jia noticed that Yan Chengcheng's gaze had swept over him many times. He couldn't help but look down at himself, and after finding nothing unusual, he tugged at Jiang Xiaoli's hand, "Xiaoli, why does Yan Chengcheng keep looking at me?"

Jiang Xiaoli knew why, of course, but she couldn't say it. Instead, she turned the tables and said, "How do you know Chengcheng is looking at you if you're not looking at her?"

Zong Jia pursed his lips, his eyes sweeping over his girlfriend, whose gaze was wandering, and Yan Chengcheng, whose face was flushed with pink bubbles.

He asked one last time, "Did I really see it wrong?"

Jiang Xiaoli said decisively, "Definitely!"

After everyone had finished eating, Zong Jia suggested, "It's still early, shall we play some games?"

Zhong Yuan was the first to agree, "Sure, Brother Zong, you're in such a good mood today, I'll definitely keep you company. What do you want to play?"

Zong Jia smiled and said, "How about a game of Truth or Dare?"

The others readily agreed.

They moved from the dining table to a small coffee table in the private room. Zhong Yuan picked out a beverage bottle and said, "Let's keep it simple and straightforward. Whoever the bottle points to has to choose between truth or dare, how about that?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one had any objections, so the game began.
