When Xiao Zhong brought the news that the company had successfully signed Hua Qing, Chu Yu finally felt relieved.
She instructed the administration to buy Hua Qing a plane ticket to Hong Kong, because Hua Qing did not have a passport and the trip had to be postponed until she got her passport before she could go to Hong Kong to study.
Hua Qing is still a rough gem, her singing skills are yet to be refined. She doesn't know what kind of magic her voice has, but with systematic training in the future, she will surely shine.
With Zhong Buyi, Zuo Ran, and Hua Qing already in the company, and several artists who gained popularity through "The Female Merchant," Chu Yu could finally relax a little.
After summer vacation started, the weather gradually got warmer, and eating watermelon and watching "The Businesswoman" became a routine for many people after dinner.
The drama's plot is full of climaxes, with heart-wrenching and explosive moments in each episode. The main characters also grow, and the high-quality costumes and outdoor scenes keep viewers on their toes. At one point, it was to the point that if you didn't watch "The Businesswoman," you would have nothing to talk about with others.
Good news also came from Mandarin: all the clothes in the store were snapped up, and the factory's supply speed could not keep up with the restocking speed.
Shulan and Shen Zhuyu were overjoyed. They went on business trips to various cities to select locations, hoping to open dozens more stores in the second half of the year.
If the clothes worn in the TV series are selling so well, then the books that are based on the TV series are even more popular.
These days, using stills from TV dramas as book covers is still a very rare thing. Add to that postcards and celebrity interviews, and the book sells out as soon as it hits the market. Xinhua bookstores all over the country call to restock, and even though the printing presses are almost running out of steam, they still can't keep up with the orders.
Judging from the popularity of the TV series, the total sales were originally expected to exceed 2 million copies, but now it seems that 3 million or 4 million copies are also possible.
Chu Xiang was overjoyed. She had never mentioned writing novels at school. Although her classmates knew she shared the same name as a famous writer, they never doubted it. After all, there was a difference between "Chu Xiang" and "Zhou Chu Xiang." Chu Xiang was a famous writer, while Zhou Chu Xiang was a rural girl from Deyang.
Everyone is saying that Chu Xiang's mother works as a nanny in a wealthy family.
No one associates her with a famous writer.
Qian Cheng rode over on his bicycle and waved from afar, "Chu Xiang, are you going home?"
Chu Xiang nodded. Editor-in-Chief Qiao asked her to sign 10,000 autographs for Xinhua Bookstore's pre-sale event. Chu Yu also said that new authors should sign more autographs to leave a good impression on readers.
These past few days, Chu Xiang has been going home to sign autographs whenever she has time. She hasn't been to the student council for several days, so Qian Cheng came over to say hello and ask what she's been up to.
"I need to go to my mom's place for something."
Qian Cheng smiled, looking cheerful, stared at Chu Xiang for a while, but his mind was elsewhere.
Recently, a female student from a higher grade has been pursuing him. She is an only child from the local area and comes from a very well-off family. Her mother works in an administrative position at the university. Whether Qian Cheng looks for a job in Beijing or stays at the university in the future, her family can help him.
The junior was very enthusiastic and often helped Qian Cheng with whatever she could. She would also bring him some delicious food, and the chocolates she brought were all imported.
Even Qian Cheng, a local, had never tasted Belgian chocolate.
This at least proves that the younger female student's family is better off than his.
Qian Cheng noticed Chu Xiang when school started. Chu Xiang was quiet and reserved, with fair skin, a gentle appearance, and a good figure and height.
Qian Cheng fell in love with her the moment he saw her; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept trying to get close to Chu Xiang.
However, Chu Xiang's family seems to be not well-off.
She was from a rural area in Deyang. Her parents were not well-educated; her mother even worked as a nanny for a wealthy family in Beijing. Although she herself was very outstanding, Qian Cheng felt extremely resistant to the thought of marrying the nanny's daughter.
He didn't want a father-in-law and mother-in-law like that. His parents were respectable people, and Chu Xiang's family would make them lose face, and he himself would not be able to hold his head up in front of his friends.
These days, people are very cautious about dating. Because Chu Xiang's family is not well-off, Qian Cheng has never dared to confess his feelings to her.
"Is your mother's work going well? She doesn't have a formal job, so she probably won't get a pension when she gets old, right? How will your parents support themselves?"
Qian Cheng asked the question in a very tactful way, sounding like he was concerned about Chu Xiang, but in reality he was trying to find out about Chu Xiang's family background.
Chu Xiang didn't catch the hidden meaning in his words.
After all, although Shu Hui doesn't have a so-called pension, Yorkham can earn millions a year, and her sister is good at investing and managing money. She has bought many courtyard houses. Not to mention Shu Hui, even Chu Xiang owns a courtyard house.
Her sister has also invested in 20 properties in the port city, including a luxury sea-view mansion, and even plans to buy land and build in the wealthy area.
With her family's current wealth, is retirement income even a problem?
Chu Xiang had never met someone like Qian Cheng before. She never expected that some people would find out everything about their partner's background and scheme so clearly before they even started dating.
She told the truth: "My mother doesn't have a pension, so how does she live... well, probably with the three of us sisters?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Cheng's eyes widened. "Rely on you three sisters? Chu Xiang, I'm not saying this to be mean, but although you are a college graduate, you are still an outsider. It's not easy for you to gain a foothold in Beijing. Your parents don't have pensions, which is a huge burden for you."
Chu Xiang nodded in agreement, "There's nothing we can do about it. If my mom really runs out of money, we have to give her money, right? Otherwise, how will she live?"
Chu Xiang owns several houses and shares in a company. Chu Yu often gives her money, so what's a little pocket money to Shu Hui?
It's not a big deal at all.
Qian Cheng, however, understood a different meaning.
