In the blink of an eye, it was July and Jiang Zhining's new clothing products were on the market.

The clothing launched this time has a refreshing and capable sweet and spicy style, which instantly caused a sensation.

Simply because the 1980s was not a very open era, the clothes on the market were somewhat conservative.

The chiffon shirt is cool and beautiful, and the one-shoulder design is sexy.

The lower body is available in two styles: short skirt and shorts, which customers can choose from.

When Jiang Zhining was invited to participate in a fashion event, she personally put on the dress to demonstrate the effect, attracting the attention of photographers.

The socialite had never worn this style before and was fascinated by it.

Because few people wear one-shoulder clothes, it has attracted a lot of criticism.

But the styles are novel and beautiful, and many women who love beauty have fallen for it.

The original order was for 1,000 pieces, but they were sold out the next day.

Therefore, Jiang Zhining asked Shen Aotian to start the appointment mode.

Because the clothes were fashionable and avant-garde, many newspapers reported on them, causing widespread heated discussion.

As a result, many people made reservations.

July is also the time when Song Ye and Song Chen have their summer vacation. Since Xixi needs someone to accompany her, Song Ye stays at home to play with her, while Song Chen starts working during the summer vacation.

Jiang Zhining originally wanted him to have a good rest and have fun during the summer vacation.

As a result, he wanted to work and experience working life.

In the end, Jiang Zhining couldn't persuade him, so she arranged for him to work part-time at the barbecue restaurant to earn money.

Because the barbecue business was booming, in mid-August, a TV reporter came to the store to interview Jiang Zhining.

Outside the store, Jiang Zhining, wearing a cheongsam, accepted the interview from the reporter with a smile.

The previous questions were all about official issues such as the barbecue business, and Jiang Zhining answered them fluently.

"There are actually very few women going out to do business these days. I wonder why Miss Jiang has such an idea? Besides, married women usually stay at home to take care of their families and children. Doesn't Miss Jiang's husband object?"

"My husband respects my ideas very much and supports the decisions I make." Jiang Zhining responded with a smile, "Also, just because women are less likely to do business doesn't mean they can't do business."

The reporter looked at her and said with a smile: "Ms. Jiang seems to like challenges. Whether it is opening a store or doing business, her previous designs are all different from the current trends."

"This is a trend. As people's living standards improve, their pursuit of delicious food will become more and more refined. Their thinking will also be influenced by foreign ideas, and they will become more open-minded in terms of clothing and behavior."

"I heard that Miss Jiang's husband is the head of a military unit. If both of you are busy, who will take care of the family?"

"We will try our best to balance our career and family." Jiang Zhining responded truthfully.

During the interview, Song Chen poured a glass of water for Jiang Zhining and also poured a glass for the reporter.

The reporter drank some ice water and felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

"Xiao Chenchen, why isn't mine icy?" Jiang Zhining protested as she didn't see any ice cubes.

Although he was used to Jiang Zhining calling him Xiao Chenchen, Song Chen still felt a little embarrassed in front of outsiders.

"You had a stomachache after drinking ice water the day before yesterday. You can't drink it." Song Chen's little face was serious.

"It's okay to just drink a little, Xiao Chenchen, can you get me a glass?" Jiang Zhining clasped her hands together and looked at him with a smile.

"No." Song Chen refused seriously.

The day before yesterday she was in so much pain that her face turned pale and she couldn't drink.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhining sighed helplessly.

Looking at his expression, the reporter said with a smile, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be afraid of her employees."

Jiang Zhining said calmly, "After all, he is not only an employee, but also my son."

The reporter who was drinking water was startled and choked.

"Son? Miss Jiang's son is already this big?"

Jiang Zhining nodded: "Yes, my son is eleven years old and can help in the store."

As she spoke, Jiang Zhining raised her head proudly.

The reporter looked at Jiang Zhining as if he had dug up some gossip, and asked with a smile, "This child shouldn't be Miss Jiang's biological child, right?"

"No, I'm his stepmother." Jiang Zhining looked at Song Chen not far away jokingly, "But our relationship is better than that of biological mother and son. Don't you agree, little Chenchen?"

Song Chen's face turned red and he lowered his head to serve the dishes.

"What made Miss Jiang willing to be a stepmother? After all, being a stepmother is not easy."

"Because I like them. I like their father, so I like them as well." Jiang Zhining responded calmly, "Of course, they are also worthy of my love."

Hearing Jiang Zhining's words, Song Chen smiled.

Now he can call his mother freely and face other people's gazes calmly.

This change is because of Jiang Zhining.

After accepting the interview, Jiang Zhining walked into the store.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a customer teasing me: "Boy, if your stepmother gives birth to a child in the future, she will not love you anymore. Aren't you afraid?"

These chatterboxes...

Jiang Zhining was about to step forward when she heard Song Chen calmly respond, "That's good. My parents should have a child of their own."

Jiang Zhining looked at him in astonishment. He didn't expect that the face as cold as zero degrees could say words as hot as one hundred degrees.

She thought of a time when a little guy asked her not to have children.

"Be careful they'll dump you out in the country."

Song Chen was about to speak when Jiang Zhining walked up to him, put her arm around his shoulders, and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong. Even if I have another child, Xiao Chen will always be my son. Wherever I am, there he will be. I don't want him to stay in the countryside alone."

Listening to her words, Song Chen raised his head and looked at her with trust in his eyes.

Seeing him say this, the customer had no choice but to shut up.

Walking to the back kitchen, Jiang Zhining reminded: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I will not abandon you."

"I know."

During this period of time, Song Chen trusted her very much.

Seeing that he didn't have any wild thoughts, Jiang Zhining felt relieved and went back to her work.

Since Song Chen wanted to go home early, Jiang Zhining asked Shen Weilu to ride his bike to take him back, while she continued to stay in the store to help.

Barbecue in the summer is really hot.

When Jiang Zhining returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

After getting some clean clothes, Jiang Zhining went straight to bed.

Since Song Yuzhou had to go to night training tonight and would not be back, Jiang Zhining took a shower and prepared to go to bed.

As soon as I walked outside, I saw Song Chen standing there.

"Why are you not sleeping so late at night and looking for me?" Jiang Zhining asked curiously.

Song Chen nodded and said uncomfortably, "Mom, I have something to give you."

Jiang Zhining blinked blankly: "Me?"

"Yeah." Song Chen said, and took out the things hidden behind him.

Then, give the things to her.

Jiang Zhining took it curiously: "What is this?"

With a little embarrassment on his cheek, Song Chen scratched his head: "This is a small gift I bought for you with the money I earned from working."
