Jian Yan ruffled Xue Shi's hair, as if whispering, "Everyone else went on a team-building trip. I stayed up all night making clothes. And you, with such dark circles under your eyes, did you have a three-hundred-round battle?"
"What kind of lewd words are these?" Xue Qiandai said sadly, "Don't mention it. My rival was in a car accident. I have to go see her after work today. But yesterday, the beauty gave me a lot of inspiration. Take a look."
Xue Qiandai pulled out a crumpled A3 sheet of paper from her bag. It contained a picture of her Huo Meiren, also known as Jian Yan. No one else was allowed to see it.
"Not bad, Dai Dai. Hua Se actually said your design was rubbish, but I think it's clearly very good. Let's make a pattern first, and then hand it over to the factory for mass production."
Shrugging, Xue Qiandai wrinkled her nose. "I don't know how to make printing plates. I dropped out of school before I even learned that."
Jian Yan took the hand-drawn paper, rubbed her chin, and said, "Okay, I'll make the pattern and you can watch. I'll only teach you once, okay? I'm not responsible if you don't learn it."
Overjoyed, Xue Qiandai hugged Jian Yan's arm. "Jian, you're the best."
The snow lion roared, and it would do anything to please the person its mother liked.

The small coffee shop is like an isolated island, where interpersonal relationships are simple and pure. But the outside world has already undergone a complete transformation.
Yu Xue's car accident was reported by the media, first on traffic radio channels, and then by major mainstream media and websites. Because Yu Xue was a mid-level manager at Huading, netizens unanimously speculated that there was something fishy going on. Affected by public opinion, Huading's stock price fluctuated again.
Taking advantage of the sharp drop in Huading's stock price, someone quietly started buying up Huading's shares again.

At 2 p.m., operator You Duoduo received a call from an unknown number, not from someone ordering coffee delivery.
"Hello, this is Huotuan Takeaway website under Chaoxun. Your store has a very good reputation and word of mouth. I wonder if you would like to cooperate and become a partner of Huotuan, so that you can get Huotuan's unified promotion for free."
The other person was speaking to a woman with a pleasant voice.
You Duoduo was stunned. Could there really be such a good thing? Could it be a trap? "Um, what are your conditions?"
"That's right. After joining the Huotuan delivery website, all the coffee in the store will be delivered by our riders. The coffee shop only needs to pay the riders' fees. The website has a lot of traffic, so the coffee shop will get more attention and the business will grow bigger and bigger."
You Duoduo was even more horrified. Were scammers these days really this sophisticated? Their methods were unlike anything he'd ever heard of. He decided to play along. "I'm just a shop assistant, I can't make the decision myself. I'll ask our boss for you later. If it's convenient, leave me a phone number."
The young operator's hands were trembling as he completed the recording. When Jin Xiangyu returned to the store, he immediately relayed Huo Tuan's conversation. "Sister Yu, I'm amazing, aren't I? I didn't fall for it."
Jin Xiangyu's face darkened. "Duoduo, this Huotuan website is run by Daidai's boyfriend."
