Before they knew it, it was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Li Jia's shop had already stopped taking clothes. Tomorrow was Lunar New Year's Eve, and all the couplets that needed to be put up had to be put up, and the place had to be thoroughly cleaned. Meng Yao had temporarily returned to M City because of the art gallery. When she returned to B City, the dry cleaners already had several more customers.
Chen Yi, Zhao Fei, Wang Xiao, Yan Ruyu, and Jiang Ling all seemed to have arranged to come to Li Jia's dry cleaning shop to help out on this day. Hai Mingyue, on the other hand, had been taken to the United States by her family to celebrate the New Year earlier. So now, almost all of Li Jia's friends in City B have gathered together.
"You don't need to come over, Xiaoyu and the others are fine here." Meng Yao was startled by the scene inside as soon as she entered the house. A large group of people were busy running around. Fortunately, the shop was spacious enough, otherwise, they would probably be dizzy from wandering around before it was all cleaned up.
"It's nothing, we didn't have anything to do anyway, and there were a lot of people here, so we just came to join in the fun." Wang Xiao paid a visit to Li Jia the day after she learned that Li Jia had returned. Although she was still confused about what had happened to Li Jia, she still believed in Li Jia's character. So when she saw Li Jia, she first punched her, and then began to ask her all sorts of questions.
When Li Jia told her with a smile that she had been framed, Wang Xiao's expression froze for a moment, then she laughed and said that Li Jia was stupid. The two of them returned to their old relationship, like best friends, but perhaps with something more than best friends. However, both of them knew very well that there was no other possibility between them besides best friends.

So, in Zhao Fei's collaboration with Shujia Dry Cleaning, Li Jia first opened four branches in City B, leveraging the impact of that incident to build brand awareness.
Clearly, the final outcome was positive.
Although Jiang Ling felt that Li Jia wasn't as casual with her as before, she had also come to understand many things and had her own plans. Therefore, she would definitely remain friends; however, when things could return to how they were before depended on her own efforts.
"Uh... Ladies, you can take a break now. Drinks and tea are ready upstairs. Please relax. Don't leave tonight; I'll treat you all to a big meal as a thank you." Just as everyone had finished up their tasks, Li Jia came down from the second floor. He was startled by the scene below. He and Xiaoyue had been chatting happily upstairs and hadn't heard a thing downstairs.
"Li Jia! Are you upstairs?" The people downstairs asked almost in unison when Li Jia appeared.
"Yes, I've been upstairs the whole time. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Li Jia asked, somewhat puzzled. The way everyone was looking at him seemed to be getting angry.
Wang Xiao was the first to speak up: "Upstairs? We've been working so hard to tidy up your shop, and you didn't even come down to greet us?"
Then came a barrage of questions. Li Jia broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, "These women aren't usually like this. How did they become so terrifying when they all got together?"
"Uh, I was having a voice chat upstairs, so I didn't hear anything downstairs. Ladies, please forgive me!" After saying that, Li Jia looked at everyone's still staring at her, thought for a moment, and then dashed upstairs. In a short while, she brought down a pot of freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea and a stack of paper cups. She then poured a cup of tea for everyone in the rest area. "Is this alright?"
Seeing Li Jia's expression, everyone nodded smugly, then carried the tea upstairs to the second floor. Jiang Ling was left standing in front of Li Jia, looking at Li Jia's slightly helpless expression and saying indifferently, "Jia, thank you." After saying that, without waiting for Li Jia's reaction, she carried the tea and ran upstairs.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Jia shook her head and couldn't help but smile. Then she picked up the cleaning tools that had been lying on the ground. The group of women had been busy for a long time but hadn't done much. Li Jia spent another half hour cleaning up the downstairs area before hanging up the shop door and going upstairs.
The second floor was already in complete chaos. Fortunately, the living room was big enough, and Xiaoqing and the others were busy in their rooms arranging the New Year's gifts they had prepared for others. Wang Xiao and the others simply set up a mahjong table in the living room, with Wang Xiao, Chen Yi, Zhao Fei, and Jiang Ling making up a perfect table.
"You guys are really into it." Li Jia couldn't help but shake her head as she watched the group of people playing mahjong noisily in the living room. Then she went into her study, turned off the computer, checked the time, and came over to the group of people who had just set up their tiles. "Alright! Time to go out for dinner."
After Li Jia finished speaking, the four people cooperated and immediately moved the mahjong table aside, saying they would continue playing after dinner. This completely silenced Li Jia. They say three women make a drama, but there are four now, so it should be more than one drama!
When Li Jia saw the women off that evening, she realized she was even more tired than when she took down Kaman's group. Staring at the snack wrappers scattered all over the floor, Li Jia felt a headache coming on. Fortunately, tomorrow was Lunar New Year's Eve. After New Year's Eve, Li Jia planned to go to F City to visit her uncle and bring some New Year's gifts for her uncle's three children.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, the whole of China was filled with the warm warmth of spring. Li Jia's dry cleaning shop was also completely decorated, with all red conveying the Chinese people's hopes for prosperity and good health.
