Xue Qiandai returned to Xianghu Bay by herself.
Autumn has begun, but the capital city is experiencing a heat wave, with the flowers in the garden looking listless.
Xue Qiandai carried a watering can to water the plants herself, and the large clusters of roses and peonies looked even more beautiful when they were wet. After watering them, her back was so sore she could barely straighten up.
She still has no money. Last time she went to Hangzhou, she gave all the money she had to the factory. As for Li Shen's payment, it was entirely based on his connections. If all else fails, she'll just use the beauty's credit card.
Sigh, when will I be able to afford a housekeeper and nanny? No, I don't want a housekeeper, I want a butler, the kind who wears a tuxedo and a white tie, and irons freshly printed newspapers.
After this moment of self-deception, she regained her motivation. She took a shower, and when she came out, Li Shen called.
“Miss Qian Dai, I have sent the information on Hua Yin and Feng Zhong’s correspondence, including a recording, to Attorney Gu’s email address.”
"Well done!"
Xue Qiandai had seen all the materials, especially the audio recording, which she had stolen from Feng Zhong.
Li Shen, through some unknown connections, managed to get a VIP from the Youyue Club to join him. The VIP had dinner with Feng Zhong, who then became completely drunk. Feng Zhong called a designated driver—actually, Li Shen—who, while Feng Zhong was asleep, unlocked his phone. Feng Zhong, perhaps wanting to be cautious, had recorded an audio message, which Li Shen then readily accepted.
I have to say, those who can be private investigators really have some skills!
Xue Qiandai was in a great mood. Things were progressing, and she needed to work harder to earn money, so she logged into the Taobao store's chat window.
When it first launched, Wangwang (Alibaba's instant messaging platform) was flooded with messages, all inquiring about the new autumn clothing. Jian Yan handled all of this when the emoji-themed T-shirts were released.
A cat with the ID "Fat and Chubby" sent a question mark.
Xue Qiandai smiled and typed, "Hi, it's a pleasure to serve you. How can I help you?"
The chubby cat: "Why are your clothes so expensive?"
Hmm, Xue Qiandai stared at the homepage. Long T-shirts for 99 yuan each, sweatshirts for 159 yuan—such affordable prices.
Honey, if your boyfriend proposes to you, would you prefer a metal ring or a diamond ring?
The chubby cat: "A diamond ring."
Xue Qiandai: "He loves you even with the metal ring, but the diamond ring shows that he loves you and wants the people around him to know."
The chubby cat: "What does the diamond ring have to do with your clothes?"
Xue Qiandai smiled, praising her own cleverness: "We've provided you with diamond-quality service!"
The chubby cat: "You're crazy!"
Xue Qiandai was met with a cold shoulder, but she didn't give up and clicked on another buyer's profile picture.
A fashion-conscious young woman asked: "Boss, your shop has a lot of clothes, so why are there so few reviews?"
Is this a sign of doubting credibility?
Xue Qiandai typed with a smile: "Because silence is golden... Just kidding. We're a new store opening, so we really need you beautiful ladies to give us your objective reviews. Plus, the prices are really cute, dear."
A beauty-conscious young woman said, "I'd rather not shop at all than buy a store without customer reviews."
These days, being a shop owner isn't easy.
Xue Qiandai opened the third buyer's message.
A beauty in the capital: "Shopkeeper, which of your clothes is the most unique and popular?"
Xue Qiandai replied: "Honey, they're all good."
The most beautiful girl in the capital: "Huh? How is that possible?"
Xue Qiandai: "Possibly, because each one is outstanding."
The customer was silent for a moment, then the input screen appeared... and a link was sent to them.
A beauty in the capital: "Will this dress fade?"
Xue Qiandai looked at it; it was a shrimp-pink casual T-shirt. "Honey, as long as you don't give it a hot bath, it generally won't give you any color."
The most beautiful girl in the capital: "...Hahaha, your models have such a presence, I'm afraid I can't pull off that look."
With an air of confidence, Xue Qiandai immediately perked up, radiating charm. "Dear, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and everyone has their own unique beauty. Our clothes simply showcase your beauty in a true way."
A beauty from the capital: "I weigh 200 pounds, do you have this size?"
This time, Xue Qiandai was dumbfounded. So all this time you've been toying with me? She was on the verge of tears. But her customer service spirit remained.
Xue Qiandai: "A wry smile GIF. Dear customer, there's a little 'X' in the upper right corner of the screen. Click it. Goodbye, and happy shopping!"
Xue Qiandai answered more than a dozen tricky questions from customers, but not a single woman placed an order. She felt like the primal force within her was about to explode.
On the other hand, only one person asked a couple of questions about the men's clothing. A total of over ten orders were placed. So, is her charm inferior to Huo Meiren and Rong Xiaoshou? Yet both of them fell for her charms!
It was ten o'clock, and she made herself a cup of Blue Mountain instant coffee, intending to perk herself up for the next round. Just then, Jian Yan returned alone.
Xue Qiandai went straight to Jian Yan, hugged her, and rubbed her face against her shoulder. "Jian Bao, I finally understand how hard you work. Customer service is inhuman. My fingers are numb from typing so much, and not a single person has bought anything."
Jian Yan chuckled: "If customer service isn't a job for humans, then what am I?"
Xue Qiandai looked at Jian Yan with admiration: "You are a goddess, my goddess and Senior Qin's goddess."
Upon hearing Qin Shu's name, Jian Yan awkwardly turned her head away, a blush creeping onto her face. "I'm going to wash up."
Xue Qiandai stopped her, asking gossipyly, "Where's your brother?"
“He…” Jian Yan mumbled, “He went to Qin Shu’s house to stay. I’ll find him a place to stay in the next couple of days.”
Wow, what kind of insane speed is that?
Xue Qiandai was determined to get to the bottom of things, "We have no relatives or friends, so why is Senior Qin being so kind? What's his stance on this?"
Jian Yan thought of her good-for-nothing younger brother, who called her "brother-in-law" so enthusiastically. She was genuinely worried that he might sell her out. She lied through her teeth, "It's for your sake, after all, I'm your roommate and business partner."
Xue Qiandai laughed happily, "But speaking of which, Jian, it would be good to let your brother go to Qin Shu to learn some hardship. He needs to be taught a lesson."
If it could truly be salvaged and transformed from a rough gem into a beautiful one, that would be a wonderful thing. But in that case, the debt of gratitude owed to Qin Shu would be even greater than before.
Xue Qiandai seemed to see her worry, covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Debts of gratitude must be repaid."
She didn't say the word, but Jian Yan understood. "Dai Dai, you're too impure."
Xue Qiandai shrugged. "I'm going back to customer service. I have to close a deal today, or I'm not Xue Qiandai." She waved and went to her room.
As night deepens, some people act like the Victorious Fighting Buddha, outwitting and outmaneuvering their customers; some are hunched over their sewing machines, making new clothes; some relentlessly pursue the truth; and some are determined to transform the super-giant baby into an independent individual.
