With the matter of the embroidery shop settled, the focus can now be on preparing for the opening of the Tangshan Prefecture branch. Hua'er's idea is to strive to open before the end of May, and he needs to get the manpower, supply, and other preparations sorted out in the next two weeks.
However, halfway there, he suddenly felt a white shadow crashing into him.
His feet reacted faster than his brain; before he could even see what it was, his feet had already taken three steps back.
