Chapter 29: A Perfect Match

“I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t expect them to come and cause trouble!” Shen Hongxing bowed apologetically to everyone.

Fortunately, no one held it against her.

Some even advised her, “Miss Shen is so capable; I think you should cut ties with them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might target you again!”

Director Jiang also comforted her, “Miss Shen, you’re a capable person. Those parents of yours will only hold you back!”

Shen Hongxing agreed wholeheartedly.

They really would only hold her back.

In her previous life, after being abandoned by Shen Jiaojiao, they had sought her out. Initially, she hadn’t taken them in. Later, seeing their plight, she had kindly taken them in. Not only did they never express gratitude, but they also constantly sowed discord between her and her children.

After sending the clients away, Director Jiang said to Shen Hongxing, “Miss Shen, you’ve solved a huge problem for me. I haven’t properly thanked you yet. Tonight, I’ll treat everyone to a good meal!”

The employees of Sunshine Garments were excited, “Really, Factory Director?”

“Of course! Qiao Secretary, book a restaurant!”

“Yes, Factory Director!”

All the employees of Sunshine Garments were overjoyed.

Not only had all the surplus down jackets been sold, but they had also received additional orders for 20,000 pieces.

Salaries could be paid on time, the factory had working capital, and employees no longer had to worry about losing their jobs.

Shen Hongxing took Xu Shuangshuang and the others back to Sunshine Garments. Director Jiang, as promised, had the secretary prepare their commissions.

“Here’s 3,500 kuai. 3,000 is your commission, and 500 is a bonus from our factory!”

“Director Jiang, this won’t do. We agreed on 3,000!” Shen Hongxing took out 500 kuai, wanting to return it to Director Jiang.

Director Jiang refused, “Miss Shen, you’ve helped our factory so much; this bonus is deserved!”

Shen Hongxing couldn’t refuse.

She accepted the money and put it in her bag.

Director Jiang saw her to the factory gate and stopped her, “Miss Shen, yesterday’s fashion show was a huge success. In the future, whenever Sunshine Garments has new products, we’ll hold a fashion show. Are you interested in continuing our cooperation?”

“Of course!”

Shen Hongxing looked at the models from Sunshine Garments who had come to see her off. She thought for a moment and asked Director Jiang, “Director Jiang, I might need them for a few more days. I wonder…”

Jiang Daqiao frowned, “Do they need to go to another fashion show?”

“Mm!”

Shen Hongxing nodded. Although they now had over 3,000 kuai, it was far from enough to start a modeling agency.

She had to go to Haicheng and hold a new stocking show for Bright Socks.

Director Jiang agreed, “Don’t worry, Miss Shen. You can take them to fashion shows anytime you need them!”

Shen Hongxing also made a promise, “Director Jiang, rest assured. When I take them out, I’ll cover all their expenses and salaries!”

Walking side-by-side on the path, Shen Hongxing asked them, “Shuangshuang, Jiayi, Hongxia, now that we have money, what do you plan to do with it?”

Xu Shuangshuang said, “I want to buy lots of beautiful clothes and jewelry!”

“Boss, I want to go to Pacific Department Store in Haicheng, and then have a big meal!”

“Boss, I want to save it!”

After a pause, the three of them turned to Shen Hongxing, “But we’ll listen to the boss. Whatever the boss says, that’s what we’ll do!”

Shen Hongxing didn’t hide her thoughts, “I want to open a modeling agency!”

“After we divide the money with the guys who helped, the boss can start this modeling agency!”

“This money isn’t enough!” Shen Hongxing roughly calculated, “If we’re starting a modeling agency, we need to aim for perfection. We need to hire professional posture teachers, rent an office, register the company, recruit professional models, and pay their salaries. This money is far from enough!”

Cao Hongxia, “Boss, I don’t need my share!”

“Neither do we!” Xu Shuangshuang cleverly thought, “Boss, why don’t we take a few more fashion shows like this? Then we can quickly earn enough money to open the modeling company!”

Since Shen Hongxing had moved in with them, they had slowly started to trust her.

Especially after the down jacket incident, they firmly believed that Shen Hongxing would lead them to earn even more money.

Recruitment office.

“Chief, your work has been completely handed over. We’ll report to the Haicheng Military Region tomorrow morning!” The guard handed the appointment documents to Lu Jiaoyang.

Lu Jiaoyang took the documents and put them in his pocket. He anxiously asked, “Any news from the review department?”

Yesterday’s events had made him even more determined to take Shen Hongxing away from those relatives who bullied her.

“I heard the results are coming out today!”

Just then, Gu Qingshan walked in with a folder. He placed the folder in front of Lu Jiaoyang, mysteriously saying, “A surprise for you!”

Lu Jiaoyang didn’t open it, “What is it?”

“Just open it and find out!”

Lu Jiaoyang opened the folder and saw a medical examination notice inside.

He smiled with relief.

This was exactly what he expected.

Now his biggest concern was that after he left, if the Shen family found out about Shen Hongxing’s application to join the army, they might secretly sabotage her.

Lu Jiaoyang anxiously instructed Gu Qingshan, “Qingshan, after I leave, any documents related to Shen Hongxing, no matter what, don’t mail them. Deliver them to her personally. Remember, only she can receive them; no one else in the Shen family!”

Gu Qingshan didn’t ask any questions.

He patted his chest, promising to deliver them personally to Shen Hongxing.

Lu Jiaoyang wrote down Shen Hongxing’s address on a piece of paper.

Before leaving, he warned Gu Qingshan not to have any designs on Shen Hongxing, otherwise, he would immediately return to settle the score with him.

With Gu Qingshan’s solemn promise, Lu Jiaoyang left the recruitment office where he had stayed for three months.

Old Zhang sat in the driver’s seat, bewildered, “Chief, where are we going?”

“To the beach!”

He had half a day left, and he just wanted to find Shen Hongxing, to be with her, even if they didn’t speak, just to quietly look at her.

Shen Hongxing and Xu Shuangshuang returned home and saw Lu Jiaoyang walking on the beach, rolling up his pants legs.

The setting sun dyed the entire sea red, a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Shen Hongxing stopped, staring at his figure for a long time before handing her bag to Xu Shuangshuang, quietly instructing, “No matter what happens, this bag must never leave your side!”

“Boss, don’t worry!”

Shen Hongxing walked step by step towards Lu Jiaoyang.

Lu Jiaoyang was tall.

Shen Hongxing only reached his chin.

His figure enveloped hers.

The setting sun behind them, the sea, and the two of them formed a beautiful picture.
