Tang Yue stayed with Zhang Minmin for a day and handed over the tapes to her, then took her luggage to find Cai Wanwan. Before leaving, Tang Yue had contacted Cai Wanwan over the phone. Tang Yue went directly to the Star Bright Clothing Store in Su City, which is located in an area specializing in high-end women's wear with a lot of foot traffic. The sign of Star Bright was simple yet atmospheric, with a large white star above the bold black-on-white characters 'Star Bright', exuding a calm yet luxurious demeanor. The decoration of Star Bright was also very impressive; looking in from outside, the bright lights and the mannequins dressed in the latest fashions in the windows made one yearn to enter the store. Standing by, Tang Yue gazed at the clothes in the window, feeling countless emotions. She had designed these clothes herself, and under the light that adorned the models, the clothes looked even more beautiful, making it hard for Tang Yue to look away. Upon entering the store, the understated luxury made an impression. Many people were trying on clothes, and she saw Sister Cai. It had been nearly a month since they last met, Sister Cai was still slim and hadn't gained much weight from her pregnancy. However, her face glowed with happiness, radiating a maternal brilliancy that struck Tang Yue. "Xiao Yue?" Cai Wanwan had just cleared a few transactions and finally had a moment to relax when she saw Tang Yue enter. "Sister Cai," Tang Yue sweetly smiled, "It looks like business is booming." The store employed three uniformed staff, who were quite pleasing to the eyes. "It's all thanks to you, Xiao Yue," Cai Wanwan couldn't stop smiling. After arriving in Su City, from renting to decorating, and to the grand opening of the store, not much time had passed, yet the turnover was impressive, filling Cai Wanwan with confidence. As long as the shop was profitable, although it was a sole proprietorship, she didn't care about the reputation associated with being a sole proprietor. After all, regardless of whether the baby was a boy or a girl, they needed money to be raised. Tang Yue spent a day experiencing the store, and the feedback from the customers was invaluable to her. She recorded many opinions from customers, and she felt quite embarrassed by Cai Wanwan's hospitality during the dinner at her home. The next day, Cai Wanwan took Tang Yue to find fabric. There were quite a few fabric mills in Su City, once Tang Yue knew where they were, she asked Cai Wanwan to go home, not wanting to tire her out during her pregnancy. Tang Yue spent three days running around fabric mills, ordering a lot of goods, and finding many good materials. In the evenings, Tang Yue would sit by the lake to enjoy the breeze and learn more about Su City from Cai Wanwan—of course, including tasting the local cuisine. On her sixth day in Su City, Tang Yue met up with Zhang Tingyu, who informed her that Zhang Minmin had finished signing her contract and her filming was going smoothly. Tang Yue then felt relieved to head back to Jing City with Zhang Tingyu. "Ah, I didn't even get to enjoy Su City," Zhang Tingyu lamented, who had almost been bored to death staying alone in Su City while Zhang Minmin filmed at night. During the day, Zhang Minmin needed to rest, sometimes filming for over ten hours. Mostly, Zhang Tingyu wandered around alone. Lying on the train's sleeper berth, Tang Yue reflected, "Tingyu, just be content, I didn't even get a chance to see the scenery of Su City." She hadn't seen the famous sights; she was either in Cai Wanwan's shop or shuttling between various fabric mills. Once back in Jing City, Tang Yue immediately contacted several fabric mills and after transferring the money, she just waited to receive the goods. In the east wing of the alley, Tang Yue had it cleaned up and prepared to exclusively accommodate Star Bright's clothing, while the west wing was reserved for Mingyue's clothing; this arrangement allowed for a clear distinction between the two. Qin Anyu also brought her some good news: the alley was for sale, but for seventy thousand yuan. Tang Yue silently calculated her funds. The money she could use was only about thirty to forty thousand at the moment, with the rest being untouchable. Mingyue Clothing Store and Mingyue Clothing Factory were profitable, but the earned money needed to be circulated. With a branch factory set to open soon, withdrawing funds from it was not an option. After some counting, she found herself still short by more than thirty thousand. Tang Yue was worried and decided to check the stock market, since Bai Qing has been away in Su City, and she had no idea if there were any surprises in the stock market these days. Taking advantage of Tang Jun and others not yet arriving in Jing City, Tang Yue went to the securities company the next day. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI-Fire.ɴet The stocks she picked were those that still existed in the future, all of which were on an upward trend, earning Tang Yue quite a bit of money. When she saw one particular stock, her eyes nearly popped out. This stock made a fortune. She remembered it seemed familiar, so she invested five thousand yuan in it, only to find it had increased tenfold in just over a week. It was like someone bringing her a pillow as she dozed off. Overjoyed, Tang Yue withdrew all the profits and then used the money to purchase the alley, quickly completing the ownership transfer and payment, making everything feel like a dream. She, on her own, had bought a Siheyuan in Jing City! Although not very big, she felt completely satisfied. The studio was now entirely hers. When she had the money, she would modernize the studio further. Thinking this, Tang Yue was full of motivation and began drafting design sketches. Her recent trip to Su City had inspired her immensely and also made her realize the importance of occasional travels. She estimated the time; Tang Jun and the others were coming soon. She planned to host them for a night in the alley before heading to the motor pool the next day. For Tang Jun, Zhang Qiang, and Wei Jiajie, it was their second visit to Jing City but their first to the alley; for Mo Weidong, everything in Jing City was fresh as it was his first visit. After Tang Yue picked them up, she prepared a full table of delicious food, filling the stomachs of the four youths until they were round, only then did she stop. "Big sister, it's been so long since I've had your cooking," Tang Jun said, missing his elder biological sister immensely. Thinking that it would still be two years before he could come to Jing City again, he felt a strong sense of yearning. Why couldn't he grow up a bit faster? "Stay for more days during the summer break, and I'll cook delicious food for you every day." Tang Yue said warmly, admiring the close relationship among the four of them and hoping it would continue as such sincere friendships were rare once they stepped into society. Zhang Qiang had changed the most. The person who used to be only interested in playing video games had not only improved his academic performance to above average but his entire demeanor had undergone a tremendous transformation, which pleased Tang Yue. Her grandmother was well, her uncle was well, and her uncle's only son was also doing well.
