Some customers even go so far as to book three months in advance just to have a custom-made outfit made at San Shu.

Xie Mingzhu and Li Qingqing realized this wouldn't work; they couldn't really keep the guests waiting that long.

If the production process takes too long and the queues are too long, many customers who lack the time and patience will be lost.

To increase income, efficiency is still essential.

After discussing it, the two decided to hire a few more tailors and purchase a few more machines.

Since there wasn't enough space in the backyard, the two rented a dilapidated warehouse at the end of the street, did some simple renovations, and transformed it into the three girls' "mini factory".

Every day, a steady stream of orders are processed in that small factory, delivered to the store, and then handed over to the customer.

With improved clothing production efficiency, customer traffic indeed increased several times over.

Over the course of a year, "Sanshu" continued to expand its scale, hire tailors, and purchase machinery. What was originally a small processing plant gradually developed into a medium-sized factory of considerable size.

With the business having developed to this point, the three of them discussed it and decided to simply treat "San Shu" as an independent clothing brand.

They design and produce their own clothes, and sell them in their own stores. It's a self-production and self-sales business.

The original sales model, primarily based on customization, has gradually diversified into three types—

Ready-to-wear, bespoke, and semi-bespoke.

Xie Mingzhu and Li Qingqing hired several more shop assistants to help manage the store.

With their workload reduced, the two had more time to dedicate to design, data collection, and continuous learning and improvement.

Because of its novel and beautiful designs, and the availability of styles for all occasions, San Shu's business is booming, with daily earnings that are countless.

Li Qingqing and Xie Mingzhu's lives became more and more exciting, and they became the first people in the military compound to go out and start their own businesses and succeed.

They also generously shared their successful experiences with their neighbors in the compound.

Many military spouses have also started their own small businesses based on their experience.

Although their scale is not as large as theirs, their income is still quite good.

Everyone was extremely grateful to Li Qingqing and Xie Mingzhu. Whenever they saw them in the compound, they would always greet them with a smile as "Boss Xie" or "Boss Li," and invite them to their homes for a meal to express their gratitude.

In just a few years, Li Qingqing has lived a wonderful life and become someone many people envy.

Li Qingqing's brilliance was so dazzling that many people forgot she had a scumbag ex-husband, Duan Huaichuan.

Even when Duan Huaichuan is mentioned, the military wives just purse their lips and say, "He's not good enough for Boss Li."

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The anniversary celebration happened to fall on a weekend. Yangyang, Yueyue, and Jiangjiang, who were already in junior high school, got up very early, rushed to finish their homework at home, and ran out to meet their younger siblings.

The younger siblings are young and have little homework. They also don't want to disturb their older siblings' studies, so they run out early in the morning with basketballs and shuttlecocks to play with their friends.

Seeing his younger siblings running around in the courtyard playground from afar, Yangyang immediately shouted "Yuanbao," "Ruyi," and "Manman."

He had barely uttered two words when Yueyue covered his mouth.
