"Indeed, Grandpa Jin spent his lifetime as a tailor, out of his children and grandchildren, only Jin Yan loved to follow and tailor from young, always working with Grandpa Jin," Qin Anyu said with a proud expression, "Xiao Yue, you should thank me. If it wasn’t for my persuasion of Grandpa Jin to come out of retirement, we wouldn’t have such a great assistant as Jin Yan."
"Yes, yes, yes, all the credit goes to Sister An Yu." Tang Yue said smilingly, talking with Qin Anyu about Star Bright for a while. Star Bright Clothing Company is now growing larger, even starting to build their new office building, which makes Tang Yue very optimistic about Star Bright’s future. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Especially the brand franchise stores, which are increasing in number, starting from a few initial ones opened by Cheng Zhiqing and Zhao Rou, to now slowly expanding to seventy to eighty branches nationwide, confident that Star Bright branches will cover the whole country.
Hmm, and there’s Mingyue Clothing, at the end of last year, it officially registered as ’Mingyue Apparel’ and compared to Star Bright’s franchise stores, Mingyue Apparel has even more franchise stores. In a few years, not to mention that every county and city has one, but as of now, there are already around two hundred branches and expansion is still continuing.
The factory supplies enough goods for these branches that workers are working overtime.
As for children’s and maternity wear, currently the main focus is on children’s wear brand, less on niche maternity wear, starting in urban areas to explore the market.
The children’s wear brand has also been registered, Little Spirits.
Every child is an angel sent from heaven, a little spirit who strayed into the mortal world. Originally planned to be named Little Angels, but Little Spirits was very cute, so it was unanimously approved as Little Spirits.
Tang Yue doesn’t need to worry about both Star Bright and Mingyue, she only needs to focus on her design drafts.
Starting work early in the New Year, Tang Yue has not fallen behind with her studio because of her pregnancy.
Peng Yufei, Xin Jiar, and Sun Qing all shuttle between the studio and the factory. Now that Tang Yue has returned to the country, all fashion design drafts are handed over to Tang Yue to review and approve before production.
Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian have been busy looking for store locations.
Time quickly moved to mid-March, only half a month left until Meng Siyu returned, Tang Yue showed no signs of pregnancy nausea, ate well and had a particularly good appetite. Zhang Hualian and Mo Xiaolin kept making delicious food for her in various ways.
Tang Yue moved away from the regular three meals a day; nowadays, she often eats four or five meals a day, though each meal isn’t much.
School, studio, home. Due to her pregnancy, Tang Yue seldom visited the factory.
That day, Tang Yue had finished arranging her tasks early and also completed her school classes. Tang Yue, along with Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian, went to the Red Bean Restaurant to eat - it was Tang Zhengde’s birthday, so they had a small celebration.
Mo Xiaolin was also supposed to go, but Meng Jin felt unwell, so Mo Xiaolin stayed with Meng Jin.
"Dad, happy birthday," Tang Yue offered the cake and said with a bright smile, "How about it? The dishes at this restaurant are pretty good, right?"
"Not bad, but not as delicious as the ones I cook," Tang Zhengde looked at the cake in front, although he didn’t like sweets, he still ate very happily.
Zhang Hualian looked around the Red Bean Restaurant, seeing its high-class environment everywhere, with garden-like design perfectly integrated with modern style, Zhang Hualian didn’t know how to describe it, but she really liked it; the restaurant exuding elegance. The screens made of mahogany, giving off an antique feel. Although there were no private rooms, this simple partition nevertheless made it very comfortable.
"You’re really shameless," Zhang Hualian couldn’t help whispering after hearing Tang Zhengde, "Careful the chefs here might take issue with you."
"Pfft~"
Tang Yue looked at their whispering and couldn’t help saying, "Mom, I also think dad cooks better, but we’re eating here for the variety. The chef Qingyang found is indeed impressive."
Since they parted ways in F country, Lian Qingqing hadn’t seen her for a long time. Now, she seemed even more beautiful, with a softness in her eyes.
"Yeah, did you come alone? Or are you with Qingyang?"
Tang Yue asked back, she didn’t see Qingyang when she passed by just now.
"Qingyang is my twin brother, my own flesh and blood." Lian Qingqing specifically added.
Tang Yue looked at her with a half-smile.
Lian Qingqing didn’t feel the deep meaning in Tang Yue’s eyes, and said, "I heard that when you got married, dad gave you a piece of real estate. Dad has always wanted to make up to you, I can understand, but, since you accepted the gift, you shouldn’t act like someone owes you something."
In F country, they had already become enemies, and coupled with the eavesdropping incident, Lian Qingqing didn’t bother to pretend anymore in front of Tang Yue, saying, "After all, dad did nothing wrong. If it wasn’t because your mom lost her decency before marriage and had you prematurely, do you think..."
"Lian Qingqing." Tang Yue interrupted her sternly, she could take it, but not when it came to Zhang Hualian.
"It’s clear who’s manipulating and plotting." Tang Yue scoffed, feeling choked up when Lian Qingqing mentioned Zhang Hualian, she stared intensely and said, "Qingyang is a part of the Lian Family, and also my half-brother, but whether he’s yours, that’s uncertain."
"What do you mean?" Lian Qingqing’s face changed instantly.
Tang Yue took a few steps back, maintaining a safe distance from Lian Qingqing, calculating in her mind that Wu Xin should be coming to find her, she said coolly, "No particular meaning, just find some people quite laughable."
