The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

In 1989, the wave of economic growth swept across the country.

The sun was scorching outside, and the cicadas were chirping incessantly in the trees.

The design studio has a newly purchased air conditioner, and the cool air is blowing quite nicely.

Su Nianhe sat at the large worktable, holding a pencil in her hand, sketching the waistline of a dress on the drawing paper.

The black mobile phone on the table rang.

Shen Huai just bought this thing last month, specifically to put in the design studio for her to answer business calls.

She put down her pencil and picked up the heavy mobile phone to answer the call.

Li Lianhua's loud voice came directly from the receiver, making people's ears ring.

"Nianhe! We got it! The general agency contracts for Beijing, Shanghai, and eight northern provinces were all signed this morning!" Li Lianhua slammed her hand on the table excitedly on the other end of the line, the background filled with the roar of machinery. "Tie Jun, along with the security team, escorted the trucks and brought our factory's first batch of summer clothes directly to Beijing. That spring clothing sketch you casually drew the day before yesterday, the sample garments were just hung on the counter of the Beijing Department Store today, and they were sold out in less than two hours! The manager begged and pleaded with us to restock immediately, and the deposits are all on the table."

Upon hearing this, Su Nianhe's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescent moons.

In the past two years, the brand "Huainian" has experienced explosive growth across the country.

She is no longer the small factory manager who calculates how many feet of fabric to use, but a designer who is truly well-known in the domestic clothing industry.

"Don't rush to restock." Su Nianhe leaned back in her chair. "This is called scarcity marketing. Have Yuanyuan control the production capacity at the main factory. The more scarce it is, the more people will scramble to buy it."

"Got it! You're so smart." Li Lianhua responded readily. "By the way, did you receive the invitation to that high-level national trade conference in Beijing the day after tomorrow? This is the first time our brand has attended as a special invitee, and as the founder, you have to be there to make a good impression."

Su Nianhe picked up the gold-embossed invitation from the table and tapped it twice with her fingertips.

"The tickets are booked; it's a flight tomorrow afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Su Nianhe stood up and stretched.

She wore a beige short-sleeved dress today.

Shen Huai has been overseeing a large commercial real estate project in Beijing recently, and the two haven't seen each other for more than half a month.

This trip to Beijing will be a good opportunity to surprise him.

The next evening, in the capital city.

The exchange meeting was held at a high-end hotel catering to foreign guests.

The banquet hall was brightly lit and covered with a red carpet.

All the attendees were prominent business figures from all over the country; the men were dressed in suits and ties, and the women were adorned with gold and silver.

Su Nianhe got out of the taxi and walked into the hall in her high heels.

Today she wore a bright red halter-neck dress, revealing a large expanse of fair skin on her back. The hemline just passed her knees, and her waist was perfectly cinched. Her hair was casually styled in a bun, secured with a simple pearl hairpin, making her so stunning that it was impossible to look away.

As soon as she entered the venue, she attracted the attention of many people around her.

"Director Su, I've heard so much about you." A middle-aged man in a gray suit, carrying a briefcase, approached with a wine glass in hand. His gaze lingered on Su Nianhe, a hint of shrewd calculation in his eyes. "I'm Ma Defa from Nanfang Datong Garment Factory. I've heard that Huai Nian Clothing is currently the top seller in the northern market. Our factory has eight hundred sewing machines. If you just give us your approval, we can do the manufacturing for Huai Nian and cut your costs in half."

Su Nianhe took the champagne offered by the waiter and took a small sip.

"Boss Ma," Su Nianhe said crisply, without offering any unnecessary formalities, "The Huai Nian brand sells design and patterns, not cheap labor. Outsourcing is fine, but our quality control standards are too high for Datong's old machines."

Ma Defa was rebuffed, his smile faded, and he left dejectedly.

Su Nianhe, holding a wine glass, walked to the high table in the corner and stood there, intending to eat something to fill her stomach first.

She didn't eat enough on the plane, and her stomach is empty now.

On stage, the host held a microphone and spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Next, please welcome our special guest speaker, Mr. Shen Huai, Chairman of Huaihe Real Estate, to deliver a speech!"

The banquet hall was silent for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Su Nianhe had just put a small cake in her mouth when she heard this name and stopped.

Why is Shen Huai the final guest? He didn't mention it to her.

Given Shen Huai's personality, if he doesn't say anything, he simply won't come.

She looked up at the stage.

Shen Huai strode onto the stage with his long legs.

He wore a bespoke black suit, with broad shoulders and long legs, exuding an aura of dominance, turning the business conference into his personal stage.

Shen Huai stood in front of the microphone, one hand in his trouser pocket.

His gaze swept across the audience and landed precisely on Su Nianhe in the corner.

The two looked at each other across the crowd.

Shen Huai looked at her fiery bright red dress and his Adam's apple bobbed heavily twice.

"Thank you everyone." Shen Huai spoke into the microphone, his voice deep and magnetic, "Huaihe Real Estate has reached where it is today thanks to its clear investment direction..."

As he spoke, he kept staring at Su Nianhe, and every word he uttered seemed to refer to something else entirely.

The speech was very short.

As soon as Shen Huai stepped off the stage, he was immediately surrounded by several real estate developers.

"Mr. Shen, we can discuss that piece of land in the western suburbs a bit more..."

"Mr. Shen, let me propose a toast to you."

Shen Huai accepted the wine glass, politely clinked it with his, but didn't stop walking. He pushed through the crowd and walked straight toward Su Nianhe.

He was extremely tall and had a very strong presence, so people around him automatically made way for him.

Su Nianhe stood there, watching him approach step by step, her heart skipping a beat.

Shen Huai stopped in front of her.

He looked down at her, his fingertip naturally brushing against the corner of her lips to wipe away the crumbs of cake.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Shen Huai's voice was very low, only the two of them could hear it.

The gesture was so intimate that several business owners who were about to come over and offer a toast stared in disbelief and stopped in their tracks.

Su Nianhe's cheeks flushed slightly, and she took half a step back to avoid his hand.

"Trade secrets," she retorted matter-of-factly. "I came to see if President Shen was having any philanderings here. What brings you here?"

Shen Huai was amused by her flippant tone.

He took a step forward, his tall figure shielding her from the shadows in the corner, completely blocking the view of others.

"Flirting? I only came because I heard you were here." Shen Huai's large hand landed on her exposed back, his fingertips tracing her smooth skin. "I'd like to ask, Boss Su, you didn't let me see your new dress first. Have you forgotten all the family rules after not seeing you for half a month?"

The man's body heat traveled through his palms, making Su Nianhe shrink her shoulders.

"It's an evening gown, everyone's looking at it..." she said in a low voice, trying to reason with them.

"Let them see." Shen Huai ignored her completely, grabbing her wrist with his other hand. "Let them see clearly whose side you really are."

He turned around and pulled Su Nianhe directly out of the banquet hall.
