The exquisite and valuable pearls complement women flawlessly, emanating elegance and class. 

It could be said that pearls were the perfect match for Eastern women.  

Chu Qiao nodded in agreement. 

“Pearls will definitely sell. How much money is needed to start the company? I can scrape together at most twenty thousand yuan, your friend might not think much of that.”  

Lin Baiwei laughed. 

“Comrade Chu Qiao, my budget for you was ten thousand yuan. If you can contribute twenty or thirty thousand, that’s impressive. We’re not starting a big company, we’ll start with cultivating pearls, but I must emphasize that this process has a cycle. Don’t expect to make money in the first several years. You will need to continue investing, so be mentally prepared.”

“I understand that pearls take time to mature— is it three years or five? If you don’t mind my modest investment, I’m in. Worst case scenario, I will postpone purchasing a home for the time being.”

Chu Qiao responded with a chuckle.

Houses can always be purchased later.

The most important thing was to get a good business that could provide constant, flowing cash.

Furthermore, properties in Shanghai would remain affordable even ten years later. 

She had time, and there was no need to rush.  

“Once we make money in the future, we’ll buy a hillside property in Hong Kong. It’s settled then. I’m going to Yuecheng in a few days, do you want to come along?” 

Lin Baiwei asked.  

Chu Qiao was tempted but didn’t agree immediately. 

“Let me consult my husband first. Give me a heads-up before you go.”  

“Sure. Let’s get the photoshoot done first. I’ll go find a photographer and call you.” 

Lin Baiwei hadn’t forgotten about the photoshoot. 

Her clothes business may appear low-key, but it was actually highly lucrative since her customers were not average people; they belonged to the middle and upper classes.

They did not come into the store to browse. Instead, they would have their preferred items delivered to their homes.

Chu Qiao’s advertising photographs foreshadowed that this batch of cheongsams would sell out quickly.

The cheongsam was the best clothing for truly portraying the charm of Eastern women.

It was and will always be the one and only.  

Chu Qiao returned home with her two new sweaters once the issue was settled.

She couldn’t wait to put on the goose-yellow one when she got there.

It was late October, and the weather was cooling down; the sweater was the perfect thickness for the season.

She swirled in front of the mirror, wearing form-fitting leggings and white shoes, loving her appearance. 

Feeling delighted, she decided to go out and purchase some delicious ingredients for dinner before calling her timid father.  

Chu Yuanzhi’s birthday was approaching, and she wanted to ask how he planned to celebrate.

Chu Qiao didn’t cook lunch. She ate an apple and some biscuits before heading out. 

With her tall, slender figure, narrow waist, and long straight legs, she looked effortlessly gorgeous in her loose, oversized sweater. 

She had tied her hair into a high ponytail that swayed as she walked, making her appear as youthful and vibrant as a high school student from any angle, both young and beautiful, brimming with energy.  

Downstairs, a few housewives were chatting while sorting vegetables. 

When they saw Chu Qiao come out, their eyes glued to her. 

Her outfit was so stylish that they wanted to purchase one just like it.  

Chu Qiao smiled at them and made her way to the telephone room to make a call. 

She dialed her home number, figuring her father, Chu Yuanzhi, would be back from work by now.  

Chu Yuanzhi answered the phone and was delighted to hear his daughter’s voice. 

“Qiao Qiao, have you eaten yet?”  

“Yes, I have. Dad, your birthday is coming up soon, right? How do you plan to celebrate it?” 

Chu Qiao asked directly.  

Chu Yuanzhi was even more pleased. 

Even He Jihong hadn’t mentioned his birthday, only his daughter remembered. 

Ah, my daughter is the best.   

“It’s just a birthday. No need to celebrate it.” 

He said, glancing cautiously toward the kitchen and speaking softly, afraid that He Jihong might overhear.  

He Jihong had been in a terrible mood lately, so it’s better not to provoke her.
