Zhong Yuan looked at Jiang Xiaoli as if she were an executioner. "Xiaoli, you have broken my heart."

Zong Jiayu couldn't bear to look. He covered Jiang Xiaoli's eyes and said, "It's too offensive to look at."

Dafu laughed so hard he sounded like a rooster crowing.

After arguing for a while, Dafu reported with his computer, "Jiang Chengle gave me a list of several recommended factory sites in Hunan Province. I had people go and investigate them, and I think only Tancheng is suitable."

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the documents. "What did they say over there?"

Dafu scratched his head. "I don't know what that kid has been busy with lately, I can't get in touch with him often. I'll check again tomorrow."

"Can't get in touch?" Jiang Xiaoli found it a bit strange.

As far as she knew, Jiang Chengle only had one serious business to attend to in China: his collaboration with "Jiang Li Ji".

She thought for a moment, "It's okay, let's talk about it after we get in touch."

Dafu nodded, "Okay."

On the morning of the 11th, Jiang Xiaoli was pulled out of the house by Zhong Yuan, who looked very excited.

After the holiday, Hu Jingxin, Chang Yue, and Yan Chengcheng stayed together at Hu Jingxin's new house.

They picked up the three of them first, then picked up Ren Zhiyi before driving together to the film and television base.

Three people who didn't want to be third wheels were sitting in Jiang Xiaoli's car.

Yan Chengcheng asked curiously, "Xiao Li, weren't you supposed to be back in Xijing for about half a month? Why are you back so early?"

She said with a serious expression, "I'm worried that you guys are overworking yourselves, it breaks my heart!"

Yan Chengcheng looked speechless. "Guess whether I believe you or not?"

"Take a guess, or do you believe me?"

Chang Yue burst out laughing, "Are you two playing a word game?"

Ren Zhiyi, however, grasped the key point: "Xiao Li, since you said you came back early because you were worried that we would be too tired, then I hope to see you at the company tomorrow, okay?"

Jiang Xiaoli pursed her lips, then nodded, "Okay!"

"Hahaha!"

Chang Yue and Yan Chengcheng laughed gleefully in the back row.

Ren Zhiyi sighed helplessly, "It's not that I want to act like a dean of students and urge everyone on, but have you forgotten that we have military training in August? What are we going to do if we don't arrange things in advance?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Zhiyi, don't worry, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and start anew. During this period, apart from handling daily affairs, I will live in the design department!"

Yan Chengcheng chuckled, "Why do you make it sound like our '307' is some kind of reformatory?"

“Exactly,” Ren Zhiyi said with a smile. “You’re busier than the rest of us. You just need to spare some time to push the design department’s progress forward; we’ll take care of the rest!”

Chang Yue nodded, "Yes, our summer clothes have sold very well this season thanks to advertising. The daily sales of these 15 stores are now between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan. We must not disappoint our customers with our new autumn products. There's also the matter of the new stores."

Five women's clothing currently has 15 stores nationwide. Several new stores opened simultaneously on May 30th. During the first few days of opening, when there were promotions, the highest daily sales reached 548,000 yuan. Recently, sales have declined somewhat, but sales are still very impressive.

It's important to know that the profit margin for clothing is much higher than that for food companies like "Jiang Li Ji".

"307" achieved an astonishing pre-tax net profit of 8.33 million yuan in June.

Seeing this return, even Yan Chengcheng's parents, who initially complained that the additional investment was too much, are now silent.

Jiang Xiaoli thought for a while, "Regarding the proportion of new stores, I think it should be 70% in cities with existing stores and 30% in new cities."

Ren Zhiyi nodded in agreement, "I think it's a good idea. We're short-handed, so we can't rush into expanding the market. It's better to be more cautious."

The group of men were all pragmatists, and they immediately began discussing the "Five" new store in the car.

Upon arriving at the film and television base, Yan Chengcheng immediately informed Hu Jingxin, "Xinxin, we're going on a business trip to inspect some stores!"

"Huh?" Hu Jingxin was stunned. "When was this decision made?"

Yan Chengcheng replied with a smile, "Just now, in the car."

Hu Jingxin immediately shot Zhong Yuan a cold glare, muttering, "Xiao Li was right after all; men only slow down my speed in drawing my sword."

Jiang Xiaoli touched her nose and said, "Don't tell Brother Yuan that I told you!"

How come the friendship between my friends is suddenly on the verge of collapse?! I'm so worried!

Shen Zhaokun's assistant led them to the film set, and then asked someone to take Zhong Yuan to the makeup artist next door to change clothes and do his makeup.

When Wu Tingting and several other actors signed with "Jiang's Entertainment" saw her arrive, they all came over to greet her.

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Tong Wanzhou not far away and saw two assistants following her. She looked at each one and asked, "Has she been signed by a company?"

Wu Tingting nodded, "Yes, she signed with Xiangyu Films."

Anjing pouted, "It's only because our ad went viral that we got noticed. You heartless bastard!"

Jiang Xiaoli patted her hand, "It's okay, don't worry about these things. Your future development is the most important thing."

The second male lead, Zhang Tu, and the third male lead, Guan Boyan, chimed in, "President Jiang is right!"

After Shen Zhaokun had his assistant use a megaphone to call the actors away, Yan Chengcheng sat next to Jiang Xiaoli and asked, "Xiaoli, are you sure you started this entertainment company just to make money?"

She raised an eyebrow. "If not to make money, what else would I be doing it for?"

Yan Chengcheng exclaimed excitedly, "Look at the handsome guy! That Zhang Tu from earlier was so handsome! I love guys with that healthy, tanned skin!"

Jiang Xiaoli tilted her head to look at her, "You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to my employee, would you?"

"Huh?" Yan Chengcheng was stunned for two seconds before she reacted.

She quickly waved her hand, "No, no! I just simply like looking at handsome men!"

The usually reserved Ren Zhiyi nodded in agreement, "Chengcheng, great minds think alike!"

Jiang Xiaoli looked at the two of them and laughed non-stop, "I knew we could be good friends! One world, one dream!"

As soon as she said that, all four girls stared at her.

Hu Jingxin's eyes widened. "Xiao Li, you already have Zong Jiayu, why would you be interested in someone else?"

She revealed a look in her clothes that you wouldn't understand, saying, "You need to have an eye for beauty. Just because I like watermelon doesn't mean I can't eat lychee."

Chang Yue was taken aback by her words, "Xiao Li, you're a true warrior!"

Yan Chengcheng spoke up at this moment, saying, "Xiao Li, if you dare to say this in front of Zong Jiayu, I'll call you Sister Xiao Li from now on!"

Jiang Xiaoli fell silent.

After a long silence, she smiled and said, "Why should we, as best friends, let them know about our conversations with men? Don't you think so? Right?"

Hu Jingxin blinked at her, "Xiao Li, are you feeling guilty and scared?"

She retorted stubbornly, "Heh, scared? Not at all! I'm just stating a fact!"
