"Director Qin, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
"I'm not exaggerating at all. A bright future awaits you; you're about to reach the pinnacle of your life. I suspect you're not quite ready yet." Qin Xiaoyu took a sip of yogurt and stared intently at him with a meaningful look.
"Yes, I'm not ready yet. Director Qin, what do you think I should do?" Hu Xing asked nervously, her knuckles turning white from gripping the machine.
"In this life, you will face many temptations, and sometimes one wrong step can lead to eternal regret. If you can't handle this well, you might fall into some small pit, and then you'll be covered in dust, disgraced, and it'll be so hard to climb out again, do you know?"
"Then how do we seize the opportunity?" Hu Xing's voice trembled.
"People shouldn't be greedy. If you want something, you should work hard to get it. Look at how hard you work, you get immediate rewards, right? If you don't work hard and just want something ready-made, you'll probably have to pay several times the price later."
"You know Wang Lingling, right?" Qin Xiaoyu interrupted Hu Xing as she was about to speak. "If it weren't for her changing the designs, she would be on the runway today, attracting everyone's attention. Do you think she was wronged?"
"I feel wronged, but I can't blame anyone else." Hu Xing looked ashen-faced and slumped back in her chair.
“You’re a sensible child. You know she was wrong, so you can’t blame anyone else.” Qin Xiaoyu nodded.
"But if you've made a mistake, can you turn back?" Hu Xing was about to burst into tears.
"Yes, but you only get one chance." Qin Xiaoyu said, standing up and leaving the stunned Hu Xing behind, before walking towards A Lei.
"Is it really her?"
"Yes, it's in the yogurt container."
"Oh my god, if Grandma knew, she would be heartbroken."
"I'm very sorry about that." Qin Xiaoyu sighed. It's hard to manage a large team; people's hearts are always on their minds.
When they returned to the Fang family home, Mrs. Fang was tired and had already gone upstairs to rest. Third Sister and Fang Baobao were still a little too excited and making a fuss.
"What about the necklace?" Tang Wenwen asked Qin Xiaoyu as soon as she came in.
"She should come back on her own, don't worry." Qin Xiaoyu patted her hand, and Tang Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's a press conference this afternoon. Hu Xing and Da Ya, get ready and come with me. The rest of you can rest first." After making the arrangements, Qin Xiaoyu went upstairs with A Lei.
"Congratulations, Director Qin, you've succeeded." As soon as he entered, A Lei hugged Qin Xiaoyu.
Qin Xiaoyu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she even shed a few tears, realizing that success was hard-won.
"Quick, get some sleep, you'll be tired this afternoon." Like a nanny, A Lei stripped her clothes off and pushed her into the bathroom. When she came out, the bed was already made.
A Lei helped her take off her shower cap, dried her hair with a towel, and then tucked her into the blanket.
"Mwah." Qin Xiaoyu finished blowing the kiss and closed her eyes.
When she woke up, there was already a group of people waiting for her instructions.
"The necklace has been found. It was very dirty, and I've already sent it to be cleaned," Tang Wenwen reported first.
"very good."
"I've already sent the orders to all the factories; they're all the best-selling items today," Factory Manager Fei said, securing second place.
"Okay, please compile the order stamps and bring them to me tonight. Make sure the item numbers are correct."
"Some of the reporters have already arrived and are waiting in the living room."
"I'll go down right away and call everyone who's attending the press conference over so we can all go out together."
Hu Xing and Da Ya were the tallest and most conspicuous. They stood on the outer edge, and Qin Xiaoyu nodded.
As the group walked downstairs, the reporters all stood up, their flashes dazzling, and Qin Xiaoyu forced a smile.
This was the first time Qin Xiaoyu had shone so brightly since her rebirth; she seemed to be surrounded by a halo.
Wow, this feels like the climax of my life...
The melody kept echoing in her ears. She had finally reached a new level, and hoped that from now on, everything would be smooth sailing.
The reporters' questions were varied, but in the 1980s they were still very professional and rarely touched on personal privacy, focusing instead on finding solutions to the reform and opening up policy.
Qin Xiaoyu had thoroughly studied the policy, so she answered it with ease and without any flaws.
The last segment of the interview was with a TV reporter. Qin Xiaoyu was very relaxed in front of the camera, smiling sweetly, and received another perfect score.
After everyone had left, Qin Xiaoyu went with A Lei to Director Fei's room.
The payments received today are still being tallied.
When they knocked on the door, they were shocked. The overwhelming amount of ten-yuan bills was like an ocean of money.
Zhou Yue, Tang Wenwen, Factory Director Fei, and Master Liang are people we know well; only they can do this.
Count out the money, a bundle of one thousand yuan, stack it up, and take it to the bank to deposit tomorrow.
Deng Jianyan, worried that his wife was tired, came to relieve her, but he was also startled when he entered the door.
"How much money is this?" He had never seen so much money in his life.
"More than a million, I guess," Factory Director Fei said proudly, raising his head.
"Over a million?" Even A Lei was astonished. It wasn't that he hadn't seen that much money before, but he never expected Qin Xiaoyu to earn so much.
This young woman's energy is indeed frightening.
The celebration banquet that evening was arranged, but Mrs. Fang didn't want to go out, so she had it held at home. This time, not only the model team was invited, but also some friends.
The Fang family's huge dining room finally came in handy again.
"I've caused Grandma a lot of trouble." Qin Xiaoyu still felt very bad.
"Give me a break. You brought so many people to play with Grandma. She's having a great time, isn't she?" Fang Baobao said dismissively.
Watching Mrs. Fang's affable smile as she moved effortlessly through the crowd, Qin Xiaoyu understood that this was a way of bringing back memories of her days as a socialite during the Republic of China era.
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at Hu Xing, who was clearly much more relaxed, but still didn't dare to make eye contact with Qin Xiaoyu.
"Remember, you only get one chance," Qin Xiaoyu said softly as she walked past her.
Hu Xing's face instantly turned bright red, and she buried her head deeply.
Before the celebration banquet was over, Qin Xiaoyu called several people in charge upstairs to the small living room for a meeting.
Orders are now overwhelmingly high, numbers they never dared to dream of before. Fortunately, Tang Wenwen's new factory and the newly acquired factory in Guangzhou are now operating normally, which has alleviated their immediate crisis.
"We've also received invitations for our model team to perform. What should we do?" Director Fei handed over several organized documents.
"Don't rush this. We're not making money from the model team; we're using performances to promote sales, so we'd rather have fewer but better options. If we release so many styles at once, won't those counterfeiters go crazy copying them? We must control the scale. Also, all factories need to have their trademarks customized; we can't go out and get them ourselves. When I go back to Guangdong, I'll go out and choose a good one. This one is a bit low-end right now."
"LOW?" Director Fei didn't understand.
"Nothing. Next item. Director Fei and Master Liang take the model team home and change Zhou Yue out."
