Over the next few days, Chen Baohua left early and returned late, while Huo Kai took him around Beijing, and they went to almost all the fun places.
That afternoon, Wang Ying called Chen Xihua and said, "Xiao Wu, as I told you before, the Nei Chang Clothing store across from our shop is owned by Miss Liu."
Our business has been good these past few days, but Ni Chang's business has been getting worse and worse. Apart from a few customers on the first day, almost no one has come to buy anything in the following days.
I've been worried that they might cause us trouble.
You said it probably wouldn't be done openly, but it might be sabotaged in secret.
"You guessed right. These past few days, some people have been asking who our Lihua designer is, and others have offered me a high-paying job as a sales manager at Nishang."
Chen Xihua was not surprised. On the night of the opening, Dong Xue called to say that she had seen Liu Baozhu and Jiang Sisi.
The girls in the dorm were worried that Jiang Sisi would hold a grudge against her for kicking her.
Therefore, she was advised not to reveal the identity of Lihua's boss.
However, Chen Xihua still had some doubts and asked Wang Ying, "Are you still asking about the designer? Didn't Ni Chang Clothing Store hire Ni Hua Studio to design the clothes?"
Chen Yuanyuan definitely knows Sister Huizhu; she works as a designer here, right?
On the afternoon of the opening day, Wang Ying called Chen Xihua to inform her about the day's business and also mentioned that the Ni Chang clothing store across the street was owned by Liu Baozhu.
Chen Xihua then contacted someone to inquire about the situation of Ni Chang Clothing.
That's how I found out that Ni Hua Studio provided design drafts for Ni Chang.
Miao Huizhu was very surprised at the time and said, "Ni Hua Studio? It can't be opened by Chen Yuanyuan and Ye Chao, those two scumbags, right?"
Upon hearing Huizhu mention it, Chen Xihua specifically sought out someone to inquire about the studio, and it turned out to be Chen Yuanyuan and Ye Chao.
Another unexpected discovery was that Ye Chao was actually the grandson of a collateral branch of the Liu family.
Ye Chao's mother didn't want to go to the countryside back then, so she married someone randomly. Ye's mother's eldest brother, Liu Bo, had no choice but to go to the countryside.
Liu Bo is the same Liu Zhiqing, the mastermind behind the Black Eagle Hall, and Si Tuying's biological father.
Chen Xihua was unaware of what would happen next with the Black Hawk Gang.
But at the time, while in the SUV, she also heard what Si Tuying said on the phone from her second sister, and combined this with the family situation of the Liu family and its collateral branches.
Without even guessing, Chen Xihua knew that Ye Chao, the Liu family's collateral branch, Si Tuying, and others all had some connection with the Liu family in Beijing.
So, Chen Xihua doesn't need to worry for the time being about what underhanded methods Liu Baozhu of the Ni Chang Clothing Store will use to mess with Lihua.
At least not in the near future.
Because if Old Master Liu is a smart man, he would have told the Liu family to keep a low profile and not cause trouble for them during this period.
Just as Chen Xihua had guessed, on the afternoon of the day Ni Chang Clothing opened, Liu Baozhu and her group went to room 605 of Fengting Club to discuss countermeasures.
"Cousin, have you found out about Lihua Clothing?" Liu Baozhu asked, sounding a little annoyed.
"I had someone inquire about it. Lihua Clothing is a mid-to-high-end sub-brand of Fanghua Clothing in Yunshi, Nan Province."
Several years ago, we had a store in Shanghai, and just this year we opened a branch factory in the southwestern suburbs of Beijing.
Jiang Sisi briefly recounted what she had learned that afternoon through her connections.
"Do you know who Lihua's designer is? Cousin, why don't you go and find out in the next few days and see if we can poach her?" Liu Baozhu's eyes darted around again.
"Okay, also, I heard that Lihua's sales director is very good at marketing planning."
"I'll see if I can poach her too." Jiang Sisi's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Baozhu's words, and her mind immediately became more active.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan, who was sitting quite far away in the private room, instinctively sat up straight and froze, her eyes flashing. She felt a pang of jealousy and resentment; the designer of Lihua must be Miao Huizhu.
But she dared not say anything. Ms. Liu had only asked her and Ye Chao's design studio for help.
They designed a few outfits first to see how they looked, but didn't directly hire her to be the designer of the clothing line.
Seeing that Lihua was thriving while Nishang was largely ignored, Jiang Sisi wanted to secretly call someone to cause trouble for Lihua, but Liu Baozhu wouldn't allow it.
Was it that Liu Baozhu didn't want to? Actually, no.
However, in a place like Beijing, not to mention the Liu family or the Lu family, or even those higher up, they cannot openly and arbitrarily suppress other people's businesses.
Even if she couldn't stand Lihua and wanted to cause trouble for her, she had to plan carefully and make sure no one found out.
However, since Lihua and Nishang opened at the same time, many people noticed the difference between them.
If something were to happen to Lihua suddenly, anyone with eyes to see would guess that it was Liu's family who had done it.
What angered Liu Baozhu even more was that she had to pray that nothing bad would happen to Lihua Clothing recently, otherwise people would think that the Liu family was behind it.
During this time, Grandpa solemnly warned the three siblings not to cause trouble, and he also gave their father another severe beating.
The family was in turmoil because the father secretly went to see his mistress and illegitimate child again, which caused a scene with the mother.
Grandpa then took drastic measures and broke my father's legs.
However, Liu Baozhu always felt that her grandfather's fierce demeanor was not only due to her father's despicable behavior, but perhaps there were other reasons as well.
Even so, Liu Baozhu's eyes were still sinister. She tried her best to suppress her impulses and plotted with ill intent.
The boss of Lihua in Nan Province let her make some money in Beijing first.
After a year or two, she will find a way to turn Lihua Clothing into her own.
Chen Xihua was unaware that although her Lihua wouldn't have any immediate problems, she was still being targeted by Liu Baozhu.
However, even if Chen Xihua finds out, there's nothing to worry about.
For those in the clothing industry, the key is staying ahead of the trends. Maintaining a leading position in fashion trends is the key to success.
Of course, the quality of the clothing must also be up to standard, as well as the subsequent sales and marketing.
As long as Liu Baozhu doesn't resort to underhanded methods like murder or arson, Chen Xihua isn't worried about any competition from anyone in the industry.
From design to marketing, Chen Xihua has an advantage over others because she has a lifetime of knowledge and experience.
However, what she might worry about is whether the people in the company will betray her.
Chen Xihua had given this matter serious consideration, but as the saying goes, "If you employ someone, don't doubt them; if you don't trust them, don't employ them."
Chen Xihua didn't think he could distinguish between loyalty and treachery at a glance, and people's hearts can change, so there was no point in worrying too much.
But at least she was certain that the current managers of Yunhua Group were trustworthy.
Because Yunhua Group offers its employees the best treatment, development opportunities, and long-term plans compared to others in the industry.
Even if, hypothetically, someone from Fanghua or Lihua were to betray them, Chen Xihua would be confident of defeating her opponent even if she had to start all over again.
Because of the design concepts in her mind, others cannot copy or imitate them.
Moreover, competition drives progress, and she feels more comfortable when everyone makes money together.
The market is so big that it can accommodate Fanghualihua and other brands to coexist.
