Zhou Hengguang rose from his seat, smoothing the creases of his suit with practised precision. Are you free tonight? he asked, extending the invitation to a meal. He hasnt treated Qingqing to a meal yet.
Qingqings response was a brief No.
Tomorrow? he persisted.
Not really, she replied. The day after tomorrow?
Not free either.
Zhou Hengguangs expression soured at her consistent refusals. Despite being her partner, he couldnt shake the feeling of his insignificance.
Was it a matter of not living up to his name?
Subconsciously sensing discord, Su Qing abruptly excused herself, fleeing back to the studio. In her haste, she found herself clutching a rose. Caught under Yao Fangs scrutiny, there was no hiding her secret.
Yao Fang, a master of datings, recognized the situation at once. Yet, mindful of Su Qings sensitivity, she chose to remain silent. Su Wens philosophy of learning from youthful mistakes resonated with her; encountering deceitful individuals was practically a rite of pa.s.sage.
Just as Su Wen said, who hasnt encountered a few sc.u.mbags in their youth? Even someone as astute as Su Wen nearly fell victim to Zhao Jiangangs deceit, didnt she?
At night, Su Wen arrived at the studio with her three sisters, noticing the roses in a gla.s.s vase. Where did these come from? she inquired, arching an eyebrow in surprise.
Amidst the chatter of her younger sisters, Su Wen admired the blooms. What beautiful flowers, they exclaimed.
Its a rose, Su Wen identified after a moments contemplation. An exquisite breed. Quite impressive! You have discerning taste.
Lin Weiguo gave them to me, Su Qing admitted, though her embarra.s.sment was palpable.
Oh, Su Wen drawled, a knowing smile on her lips. Seems like things are progressing nicely.
Su Xiu held Lin Weiguo in high regard too. Shes been quite anxious about her second sisters marriage. Back in the village, they only wished for a suitable match from a respectable family, but due to the sisters tarnished reputation and impoverished background, n.o.body paid them any mind.
Now, things have turned around. The second sister doesnt have to worry about marriage anymore. Lin Weiguo is tall, handsome, and polite, but hes also far better than those who seek to take advantage.
Su Xiu, eager for her second sisters happiness, voiced her support. Youre doing great, Second Sister. Were behind you all the way.
Su Wen, ever pragmatic, advised, Take your time. Get to know him better and dont feel pressured. Her tone took a playful turn. Just be cautious. I support you.
Crimson with embarra.s.sment, Su Qing retorted, Big Sis! Youre hardly one to talk. What about Brother He?
Su Xiu, caught off guard, hastily excused herself. I Ill go help Yao Fang, she stammered before fleeing.
Yet, even Yao Fang couldnt resist chiming in. I can handle my tasksno need for a.s.sistance, she quipped, eliciting laughter from the group.
Enough distractions, Su Wen interjected, redirecting the focus. Lets get down to business. Report your progress and any challenges faced. Ill address them. With that, she led the team to their respective meeting rooms.
Even the youngest sisters partic.i.p.ated earnestly, understanding the familys need to prosper. Sixth Sister utilized her schools popularity to promote their products. Nowadays, many cla.s.smates want to own the same bag as Su Yao. There have already been quite a few parents asking where they can buy it.
While Su Wen, the organizer, ensured adherence to established protocols. From the very first day, everyone has been following this procedure. As the meeting commenced, everyone was very serious.
At the meeting, Su Wen prioritized sales, recognizing its pivotal role in fostering talent. Dont underestimate its apparent simplicity; sales is where talent truly gets honed..
