[Off-Season Sales Event! Limited Quantities Available!]
Seeing these eight characters appear, the lady boss and Li Meihua exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.
Su Zhiruan came in carrying the sign, and upon seeing the confusion on their faces, she explained, “Clothing should not be mass-produced and sold without consideration. Sometimes controlling the quantity can produce a different effect.”
Her words were primarily aimed at Li Meihua, who would definitely leave in two years, and no one knew what would happen then. It seemed that Li Meihua did not want to leave either, so if she stayed, Su Zhiruan decided to let her open a store. It didn’t need to be incredibly prosperous; as long as it could provide enough for her to live comfortably, that would be sufficient.
The lady boss looked at Su Zhiruan with increasing admiration, “What else do you have to say, go on?”
Su Zhiruan didn’t hide her ideas, but rather smiled, and while writing on the sign, she continued, “This could probably be considered a form of ‘hunger marketing’. By reducing the production, you attract buyers’ attention, creating an illusion of scarcity. In short, it’s about cutting production and selling in limited quantities.”
“Even though it’s winter, if buyers knew that after this season they won’t have another chance to purchase, they would definitely strike first.” Su Zhiruan sighed inside as she looked at the two women, who were close in age.
Before leaving, she still needed to ensure Li Meihua was well settled, at least to have a decent home in town and a stable shop where she could stay and live peacefully.
The lady boss looked at Su Zhiruan, then shifted her gaze to Li Meihua.
The two, though mother and daughter, did not resemble each other at all; in fact, they could be said to be completely different people. Li Meihua seemed very timid and had not spoken much since coming in, whereas Su Zhiruan was both beautiful and capable.
The lady boss thought of her own good-for-nothing son, but after a brief consideration, she dismissed the idea. After all, compared to this young lady, her son was like a wastrel, completely unworthy.
“Su girl, I’ve understood everything you said,” the lady boss smiled, put her arm around Su Zhiruan’s shoulder, and then laughed heartily, “Oh my, sometimes I think how nice it would’ve been to have a daughter—so caring and sweet. If only you were my daughter.”
“The madam flatters me; I’m young and inexperienced and still have much to learn from you,” Su Zhiruan replied with a slight smile, “We’ll take our leave for today, we still have to deliver goods to other stores.”

“Go ahead.” The lady boss knew that Su Zhiruan had placed many orders with the garment factory and was aware these were for different clothing stores, “If you have new designs, new styles in the future, show them to me first. The pricing will definitely be much higher than the competition.”
“Alright, then we’ll be off, goodbye.” Su Zhiruan waved goodbye and left the place with Li Meihua.
Straightaway, the two of them and the delivery driver went to different clothing stores to start unloading the goods. Su Zhiruan had many innovative ideas, which she shared with the various store owners.
All these clothing store owners expressed great expectations and appreciation for her. Spending the day with Su Zhiruan, Li Meihua learned a lot too.
“…If you want to boost sales, you could also hire a few young and beautiful women to wear the new clothes on the streets; it would definitely catch everyone’s attention…” Su Zhiruan talked at length and felt a bit parched.
“So can I hire you, Comrade Su?” The proprietor was a young man chasing the latest trends, who agreed immediately upon seeing Su Zhiruan’s designs.
At that moment, he glanced at the clothes, then at Su Zhiruan, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He quickly stood up and tried to grab Su Zhiruan’s hand, which she deftly avoided. Nonetheless, he didn’t mind and continued, “You’re the clothing designer! You must understand these clothes better than anyone! You’re beautiful, and if I hire you to wear this piece of clothing, it will definitely attract lots of people!”
Su Zhiruan: “…”
In the end, with much effort, she barely managed to dissuade the young man from his idea.
After he left, the youth had a look of reluctance on his face, and Su Zhiruan unconsciously quickened her pace.
Li Meihua and Su Zhiruan went together to the township primary school to pick up Zhishu and Zhixiao.
“Ruanruan, tell your mother the truth, how did you suddenly come to understand so much?” Li Meihua looked at Su Zhiruan with worried eyes, her tone even tinged with a bit of guilt, “Before, it was mother who let you down, they made you work and mother had no way to protect you, and your father and grandmother… they even beat and scolded you and your sister, but where did you learn all these skills from?”
Su Zhiruan walked past the street corner and stood next to the township primary school sign, where several other parents were already waiting. She greeted a few familiar faces before answering Li Meihua, “I figured it out bit by bit on my own, and these past days, Teacher Qin has taught me quite a lot.”
All the knowledge and skills not possessed by the original owner could be attributed to the merit of Qin Lianqi.
“Who exactly is this Teacher Qin?” Li Meihua had heard this name many times recently, from both Su Zhiruan and the two children.
“You’ll meet him soon—” Su Zhiruan looked up to see Qin Lianqi standing at the second-floor window, quietly opening it to look down. She smiled gently at the man from afar, then turned to Li Meihua and said, “He’s Teacher Qin!”
Li Meihua followed her gesture and at that moment, her heart skipped a beat, despite her age.
The young man was truly striking, and even with just a quick glance it was clear that he exuded an elegance and a mild, lazy charm, reminiscent of a green bamboo or nephrite jade in its smoothness.
Qin Lianqi, upon seeing a middle-aged woman with Su Zhiruan, paused for a moment, then immediately guessed her identity, likely the mother of Su Zhiruan and her siblings.
Su Zhiruan led Li Meihua upstairs, just as Qin Lianqi was preparing to come down to meet them.
“Good afternoon, Teacher Qin, this is my mother,” Su Zhiruan greeted him naturally and introduced Li Meihua to Qin Lianqi. She then turned to Li Meihua, “Mother, this is Teacher Qin Lianqi.”
“Hello.” Qin Lianqi nodded slightly, his manners impeccable. He turned to Su Zhiruan and asked softly, “Do you have any questions today that you didn’t understand?”
Li Meihua perked up her ears as if suddenly sensing gossip, ready to listen intently.
Su Zhiruan, however, pulled him aside to prevent Li Meihua from eavesdropping, “Teacher Qin, thank you for the tutoring these past few days. This is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it.”
She handed over a small red envelope with some money inside.
Qin Lianqi didn’t accept it but instead seemed stunned.
