Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

Yan Lanshu quickly jotted down the phone number and carefully confirmed the style and material details of the cheongsam with Jiang Wenxi, remembering every word with utmost care.

She stood at the door waving to the two of them until they reached the store entrance, her eyes full of gratitude. Only when Jiang Wenxi and Fu Siya disappeared around the corner did she slowly turn away and go back into the store, her lips still unable to suppress a smile.

Stepping out of the Shulou Qipao Shop, Fu Siya still wore an incredulous expression. She tugged at Jiang Wenxi's arm and whispered:

"Wenxi, you just casually browsed a store and invested 200 million?" In her opinion, Jiang Wenxi's move was truly astonishing.

Jiang Wenxi stopped and looked at Fu Siya's nervous expression. She couldn't help but smile and patiently explained:

"I'm not acting impulsively. As you just saw, Shulou's cheongsams are exquisitely crafted. From the tailoring and buttons to the embroidery, they all demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship. This kind of traditional craftsmanship deserves to be passed down. Moreover, Yan Lanshu has a genuine love and dedication to cheongsams; she's not the kind of businessman who's just after money. People like her are worth investing in."

"Furthermore, there is a gap in the high-end traditional clothing market right now. Many people are pursuing uniqueness and cultural heritage, and Shulou's cheongsams perfectly meet this demand."

"As long as we plan well, promote effectively, and establish a strong brand image, profitability is only a matter of time," Jiang Wenxi said calmly and logically.

"My investment is not just in a cheongsam shop, but also in the inheritance of traditional craftsmanship, which is meaningful in itself."

As Fu Siya listened to Jiang Wenxi's analysis, her furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she suddenly realized:

"So you had this planned all along! I thought it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. In that case, your investment in Shulou makes perfect sense. It helps Yan Lanshu and opens up new markets at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yan Lanshu...

The moment the door closed, Yan Lanshu could no longer contain her excitement. She jumped up and down three times, covered her burning cheeks with her hands, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks—not tears of sadness, but tears of joy and relief at escaping a desperate situation.

She took three deep breaths to calm herself, immediately turned around and went to the cashier, took out paper and pen to write down Jiang Wenxi's phone number and her needs, and then rushed into the back studio.

A small lamp was still lit in the studio. Various fabric samples and design drawings were neatly arranged on the shelves against the wall. In the middle was a large worktable with unfinished cheongsams on it.

Yan Lanshu pulled up a chair, sat down, turned on her computer, hovered her fingertips over the keyboard for a moment, took a deep breath, and created a new document titled "Shulou Cheongsam Shop Business Plan - General Manager Jiang's Investment Version".

She first wrote the core framework at the top of the document: current store situation analysis, core advantages, existing problems, future development plan, details of fund usage, and profit forecast.

She then clicked on the first section and began to analyze the current situation of the store: "Shulou mainly sells high-end Shanghai-style custom cheongsams. There are currently 3 employees, 1 core craftsman (herself), and a monthly rent of 20 yuan. In the past three months, the average monthly loss has been 5 yuan. The main reasons are: high cost of high-end craftsmanship, low brand awareness, and a single customer acquisition channel..." While typing, she also took out the income and expenditure ledgers for the past six months from the drawer and checked the numbers one by one to ensure that the data was accurate.

When she wrote about the core advantages, her eyes lit up, and her fingers tapped the keyboard faster:

"1. Craftsmanship advantages: Inheriting the authentic Shanghai-style cheongsam making techniques, covering intangible cultural heritage techniques such as frog buttons, Suzhou embroidery, and kesi (silk tapestry). Each cheongsam requires 36 processes and takes 7-15 days to make by hand. The fabrics are all made of high-end materials such as silk and Xiangyun yarn."

2. Design advantages: Blending traditional and modern aesthetics, we can customize exclusive styles according to customer needs, suitable for various occasions such as daily wear and business banquets...” Just about to insert a document.

"Manager, let's take a break. Didn't Miss Jiang say she could give it to her within three days?"

"Oh, you don't understand. Now I finally have someone who understands and supports me, and I definitely can't let him down. But I do need to balance work and rest. I'll finish the rest when I get home tonight. Let's go home."

Meanwhile, Jiang Wenxi and the other person were discussing membership cards.

"I never imagined that while we were just out shopping, you not only got so many membership cards, but you also invested in a cheongsam shop!"

She paused, a hint of envy in her eyes, and added softly, "Actually, I think you're really amazing, daring to think and act. If you want to do this well, your family will definitely support you, right?" Her voice trailed off at the end.

"Unlike me, I always feel like I don't have much ability. Even if my family gives me resources, I'm afraid I won't do a good job and end up wasting my family's money."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenxi stopped and turned to look at Fu Siya, a gentle smile in her eyes. She raised her hand and patted Fu Siya's shoulder lightly, saying firmly:

"Don't think like that. I've always believed that people who know how to spend money can also make money, and those who are good at spending money often make more money. You just haven't found your strengths yet; just keep exploring."

Jiang Wenxi's words were like a pebble, stirring up ripples in Fu Siya's heart.

She stood there, stunned, and began to ponder, her mind racing through what she knew—she had learned etiquette from a renowned teacher since childhood, knew a little about flower arranging, and was also quite knowledgeable about fashion and dressing.

These skills, which she previously regarded as "pastime," now held a different weight in her heart.

Jiang Wenxi's words were deeply etched in her heart. No one could have imagined that years later, it was precisely this keen sense of fashion and the encouragement from Jiang Wenxi's words that allowed her to carve out her own niche in the fashion industry and achieve a remarkable career, without any help from her family.

After a while, Fu Siya finally came to her senses. The confusion in her eyes faded considerably, replaced by a glimmer of light. She looked up at Jiang Wenxi and smiled, changing the subject:

"Wenxi, shall we go to the international auto show together in a few days? I heard there are a lot of limited-edition luxury cars on display, and quite a few celebrities will be there!"

"Sure, no problem," Jiang Wenxi replied readily, without the slightest hesitation in her tone.

"Great!" Fu Siya's face lit up instantly. She took Jiang Wenxi's arm and continued walking. After strolling for nearly an hour, as it grew darker, Jiang Wenxi said, "Alright, let's go back. We've strolled around long enough today, it's time to rest."

"Wait!" Fu Siya immediately grabbed her, pouting, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.

"We haven't had dessert together yet! I haven't tried that super popular dessert I told you about!" She shook Jiang Wenxi's arm and said softly.

"It's almost lunchtime, let's go get some dessert first. That place is absolutely delicious, you have to try it!"
