Saturday, a celebration banquet for students graduating from high school.

Old neighbors all came to the scene, Xiaoyu's classmates also visited Xiaoyu's home for the first time, and there were also friends that Xiaoyu usually knew. Men, women, young and old were all in the courtyard.

He Yuxiang: "..."

That's terrifying!

How can one person make friends with so many people?

Fortunately, he was in charge of cooking, not entertaining.

The main force in greeting guests at the entrance: Chen Qing and Mao Mao.

Both of them greeted their new and old friends with beaming smiles.

Seeing the grand celebration Chen Qing was throwing for Xiao Yu's college admission, Lin Leyu felt it was a waste that she and Xiao He had only had a simple meal. She secretly asked her, "Should we hold another college admission celebration?"

Yang Yihe shook her head: "No, we can't find that many friends."

Looking at the people present, Lin Leyu sighed, "That's true."

As the factory director, Chen Qing's courtyard was originally quite large, but after being crammed with eight tables, it became crowded. A simple shed was set up overhead, and the guests who entered were given ice water. Fans were placed next to the tables, which slightly relieved the heat.

Today, Xiaoyu, as the main character, wore a high ponytail and bright sportswear, moving among the crowd like a little sun, greeting everyone.

Pingping took a candid photo with a tense expression.

This was her sister's first banquet, so she wanted to capture the moment when her sister stood in the center of the crowd.

Youyou sat obediently and waited for her food to be served, then focused on enjoying the meal.

The atmosphere reached a climax; such good fish and meat are a rare sight indeed.

Xiaoyu said generously, "Eat and drink well, don't be shy."

A reporter friend has arrived.

Chen Qing has evidence that they came to freeload. Regardless, let's put the interview aside and start eating!

Mao Jianguo looked at Xiaoyu and sighed, then looked at Xiaohe and sighed again.

Ultimately, balance was found in He Yuxiang, because He Yuxiang scored 247 points.

The full score is a whopping 500 points!

I've completed about half of the exam.

Unlike Xiaoyu, whose score soared to 473, directly winning the provincial champion title.

Mao Jianguo used to like He Yuxiang, thinking he was steady and reliable, but now he doesn't like him anymore. He likes someone like Xiaoyu, whose grades are so good. "Xiaoyu, you must study hard in college, learn math, physics and chemistry well, and contribute to the country, you understand?"

Xiao Yu obediently replied, "I know."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mao Jianguo kept sighing with emotion, wishing Xiaoyu were his own daughter. How could there be such an outstanding child in the world?

Xiaoyu is only thirteen years old.

Half of my study time is spent exercising.

Mao Jianguo just couldn't understand it; his son had only scored 364!

I really hate that English isn't included in the total score.

If English is included in the total score.

Mao Mao can easily get a 464 on the test!

"Xiaoyu, you can come to your uncle if you encounter any problems at school. Your uncle will definitely help you without hesitation."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Talia patted Mao Jianguo on the shoulder: "That's enough, shut up."

Mao Jianguo felt a pang of sympathy.

He thought boys weren't smart enough.

No, Mao Mao won't do.

He Yuxiang is not an option either.

He wants to have a daughter with Talia in his next life!

Mao Jianguo turned his gaze to Fu Shuyan and asked, "Kid, what score did you get?"

Fu Shuyan smiled, then said shyly as if she had finally caught a chance to show off, "It's about the same as Xiaoyu's, I got 468."

Mao Jianguo: "..."

It seems my own son isn't up to the task.

That's enough.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Mao Jianguo drank, his eyes filled with melancholy.

Mao Mao asked in surprise, "Why didn't you say you did so well on the test?"

Fu Shuyan: "...None of you asked me!"

Mao Mao chuckled and asked, "So you're going to Tsinghua University too?"

Fu Shuyan hesitated: "I didn't list Tsinghua University as my first choice, so I probably won't get in."

He has good grades.

But he performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination.

His father sighed with regret at home.

Everyone at the table felt sorry for him after hearing this.

Nowadays, college application choices are based on estimated scores. Nobody knows how well they will perform on the college entrance exam, so they can only apply to universities that they feel are more likely to succeed.

Xiaoyu comforted Fu Shuyan: "It's okay, you can come and play with me and Sister Xiaohe often."

Fu Shuyan nodded, his eyes shining.

In a post-dinner interview, Chen Qing and Lin Leyu shared their experiences in raising children.

--zero.

It's purely because the child is smart.

What was supposed to be a sharing of experiences turned into a bragging session about their kids by the two of them.

Yang Yihe left first.

Her face was so red it was unbearable to look at.

Xiao Yu stood tall, her round cat eyes curved into crescents, her face full of collagen and beaming with a bright, dazzling smile.

Finally, Chen Qing inquired about the newspaper's operations.

After hesitating for a long time, the reporter said, "We are being cautious."

That's right!

Just be cautious!

This concerns Factory Director Chen.

Everyone became terrified!

Even though it was a great thing, she hesitated until the day of the banquet. With so many people present, she couldn't just send Chen Qing and his two unfortunate children.

Everyone turned to look at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing: It has nothing to do with me.

After the graduation banquet, He Yuxiang handed over all the affairs of the factory to Fu Shuyan and solemnly instructed him: "You have to manage it well. Tomorrow I will spend a lot of money to call you for half an hour and report the situation of the factory to me."

Fu Shuyan sat silently like a resentful young wife.

He regretted it!

He Yuxiang accompanied Xiaoyu to the National Games, and he worked hard for He Yuxiang, but he didn't even know what he was getting out of it!

“I’ve been working for free these past few days, so I’m quitting.”

"No, a person should keep their word!" He Yuxiang rejected his resignation.

Next, he and Mao Mao followed Xiao Yu's group to the capital!

Fu Shuyan continued working with a lot of resentment, feeling that he had made a bad choice in making friends!

Chen Qing was busy with the display.

Inspired by America, Chen Qing plans to launch a core, complementary color scheme.

Colors like white, gray, and oatmeal, and then the trending colors that are updated each season.

At the same time, employees were told that all tops and bottoms could be purchased separately.

Furthermore, all colors within the same color family are carefully blended, allowing for mixing and matching while maintaining harmony.

For example, gray pants can be paired with either a white short-sleeved shirt or a light purple outfit, both of which can create a sophisticated sense of layering.

However, to ensure the set's affordability, the individual price will be slightly higher. But one day a week, a "buy any two items and enjoy a small discount" package will be offered, which gives customers flexibility and encourages related purchases.

When Chen Qing led everyone to the store display area, she had already set up a core display stand in the sports area on the first floor.

This area is no longer a set of clothing.

Instead, the tops and bottoms are arranged and displayed like a color chart, according to color scheme.

Chen Qing instructed the staff: "In the future, you should encourage guests to touch and combine things themselves. If guests are willing to chat, you can provide simple pairing suggestions."

The employees nervously agreed. (End of Chapter)
