The man looked at Qin Yue's greedy expression, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He nodded and said, "Become my person, and I can agree to all the conditions you've mentioned!"
With the man's assurance, Qin Yue's lips curved upwards slightly. She then reached out and clasped his waist, leaning close to his ear and whispering, "Alright, I'm willing to leave with you."
After saying this, the two got into the car, lingering affectionately.

After resolving the recent events, Chen Lishu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least for a while, no one foolish enough would dare to provoke her.
The seasons soon changed, and the weather gradually turned colder. Summer clothes were clearly no longer suitable. The company was urgently in need of a batch of new design drafts.
Chen Lishu lived up to expectations. Recalling her fondness for off-the-shoulder dresses in her previous life, she designed a white, A-line, off-the-shoulder dress based on her memories.
Shen Wei looked at the design draft in his hand, his brows furrowed in concern. He asked, "Manager Chen, isn't this design a bit too ahead of its time? Exposing such a large area of the chest, I'm afraid the public's acceptance might not be that high."
Hearing his words, Chen Lishu smiled and shook her head. "People's acceptance now is much higher than we imagine. This kind of design can not only be used as casual wear but can also be designed as formal attire. It showcases a woman's beauty and enhances her temperament, adding a touch of sophistication!
If such clothes don't sell or aren't accepted, it's because they haven't seen how they look when worn. Once we hire more models for a fashion show, I believe this style of clothing will quickly catch the public's eye."
Shen Wei opened his mouth, unsure how to express his thoughts. However, remembering that Chen Lishu had never made a mistake before, he decided it was best to follow her advice. He took the design draft to the factory.
Soon, the clothes were patterned and designed. Chen Lishu thought that since she had nothing else to do, she took Su Nian with her to the storefront of the clothing store.
"Why are the clothes designed by Shu Se Group always a bit strange? Exposing such a large area, what will men think when they see it?"
"I thought the previous dresses were their design limit, but I didn't expect their design style to become increasingly bold! While the clothes look good, who would dare to wear them out?"
"..."
Listening to people's discussions, Su Nian's brows knitted together tightly. She said regretfully, "Madam, it seems your design this time is wasted. It's clear that people's acceptance isn't strong enough yet, even though the capital is an open city!"
Compared to Su Nian's regret, Chen Lishu remained composed. She snapped her fingers and asked the staff behind her, "Don't worry, where are the models I hired? They can come out now!"
As she spoke, the staff members turned and left. A few minutes later, a group of women wearing off-the-shoulder dresses walked in.
The appearance of the models immediately attracted the attention of the customers present. They all turned to stare at the dresses the models were wearing. Some covered their mouths in surprise and said,
"What… what are these people? They seem to be wearing the same dress!"
"I thought this dress would look a bit inappropriate when worn, but now I see I was too shallow. The collarbones look so sexy!"
"Yes, why do I feel like this dress has a different feel on different people? Like this girl looks gentle and sophisticated, but on another person, I feel she's a bit lively!"
Chen Lishu designed not only off-the-shoulder dresses but also tops. When another group of models appeared wearing the tops paired with the store's pencil skirts, everyone's eyes lit up.
"I really like the off-the-shoulder tops they're wearing. The combination of the top and skirt directly showcases a woman's good figure!"
"Yes, this kind of pairing looks like something an elite in the workplace would wear. I've never tried this kind of pairing before. I have to buy a set!"
"..."
Soon, the customers' comments became one-sided. Some bought the clothes they liked, but others were still hesitant, worried that the clothes were too revealing and inappropriate to wear out, making them a waste if bought. Thus, they delayed their purchases.
Seeing the situation, Chen Lishu calmly approached them and said, "Everyone, please rest assured. The clothes I sell are always popular, and you won't be the only ones buying them! Wearing it alone might make you feel awkward, but if a group of people wears it with you, will you still feel awkward?
This outfit can not only be paired with pencil skirts but also with jeans. It's incredibly versatile, and we can wear it anywhere. With an outfit like this, aren't you getting a great deal?"
That's right. Not only one person would buy it. If everyone bought it and wore it on the street, it wouldn't be awkward at all. With Chen Lishu's persuasion, the hesitant customers seemed to have found their peace of mind, and they each bought a dress and a top!
Soon, the off-the-shoulder autumn collection sold out. Chen Lishu looked at her growing account balance, her sense of satisfaction and gratitude increasing.
Returning home after a busy day, she opened the door and saw a familiar figure. Yang Zhiguo was sitting on the sofa with a stern expression, earnestly trying to persuade someone.
"After leaving the military, if you don't choose a path on the streets, what do you want to do? Do you want to stay home and live off your wife? If this gets out, how embarrassing would it be for a grown man?"
Chen Lishu frowned upon hearing Yang Zhiguo's words. Living off his wife? That sounded too harsh!
Just as she was worried that Gu Xingdong might have reservations because of these words and was about to step forward to persuade him, Gu Xingdong smiled calmly and said, "In a family, it's normal for some to manage the household and others to manage the outside. Or does Chief Yang think managing a household is an easy task?"
Suddenly put on the spot, Yang Zhiguo felt a bit flustered. He quickly denied, "I've never denied the hard work of housewives. Women work just as hard as men. It's just that it's a bit unreasonable for a grown man to stay at home.
I've already taught Zhang Wan'er a lesson. Don't worry, I won't let her bother you for a while. Now, come back with me to protect Felicia Ann's person in charge. I don't have anyone to replace you at the moment!"
