Huayu: You were supposed to be a top star, but you've become capital?

"Trajectory?" Tian Xiwei blinked.

"Mom, why did you buy this brand? It's only been out for a short time, and it's not cheap!"

Tian Xiguang also came over to look, still chewing on chicken: "Mom, did you get a raise? You bought something so expensive."

"The salary is a bit better than before, and the benefits at a big company are pretty good." Mrs. Tian smiled, picking up the clothes and holding them up against Tian Xiwei.

"I think this dress is simple in design and of good quality; it would definitely look good on you young ladies. Why don't you try it on?"

Tian Xiwei happily grabbed the clothes and ran into the room.

A moment later, she came out wearing a blue sweatshirt and black jogger pants from the same brand, and turned around in the living room:

"Ta-da! How about that?"

"You look great! You look good in anything, sis!" Tian Xiguang praised without reservation.

The clothes have a great cut; they're loose but not baggy, making Tian Xiwei look youthful and energetic.

Mrs. Tian stepped forward and straightened her collar and cuffs, nodding in satisfaction: "Hmm, the size is just right, I knew it would fit."

At this moment, Tian Xiguang had already picked up his phone and started searching skillfully.

"Trajectory official flagship store... found it! Sis, this hoodie of yours isn't cheap," she said, looking at the screen. "It's priced at 699 on the official website! And it's sold out!"

Tian Xiwei also went over to take a look, and the sweatshirt on the screen that was exactly the same as the one she was wearing was indeed quite expensive.

She looked at her mother, even more puzzled: "Mom, you've become so fashionable lately! You even know how to snag those hard-to-get clothes online?"

Aunt Tian was serving soup when she heard this and turned around, looking bewildered: "What do you mean, stealing clothes? These are our warehouse stock."

She walked over and glanced at the price on her phone screen, and was shocked herself:

"So expensive? These are defective items I bought from inside the warehouse, much cheaper."

"Defective products?" Tian Xiguang was bewildered. "Your warehouse?"

"That's right. Our warehouse was just sorting through this batch of goods a few days ago, preparing for later shelving or allocation. The quality inspector said that a few items had a few small loose threads or slightly uneven printing, but it didn't affect wearability, so we handled them internally."

"I thought the material was comfortable and the design was nice, so I bought it for you," Ms. Tian explained.

Tian Xiwei looked down and carefully examined her clothes, looking at them from left to right, even holding them up to the light: "There are no loose threads, and the print is all right."

The fabric is soft against the skin and the workmanship is exquisite, with no visible flaws.

Then she suddenly realized and grasped the key information in her mother's words:

"Mom, you mean the new warehouse where you work is the Track Warehouse? You work at Lin Shen's company?"

"Lin Shen? Which Lin Shen?" Mother Tian was even more confused.

"It's the boss of the game 'Trajectory,' the big star who played Baili Tusu!" Tian Xiguang added from the side.

"Huh? The boss is a big star? I didn't know that. Our supervisor only said he's the southwest branch of a big company and told us to do our job well."

Only then did Aunt Tian connect the person and the situation, and she suddenly realized, "Oh! So Lin Shen is Su Su from Gu Jian Qi Tan? No wonder, no wonder his clothes are so well made and his style is so fashionable."

Seeing their mother's belated realization, Tian Xiwei and her sister exchanged a glance and couldn't help but giggle.

Tian Xiwei continued, "Mom, Guiji is the brand founded by Lin Shen. Your workplace is his warehouse. Don't you even know who the boss is?"

"Oh dear, I'm just a stock clerk, how would I know which celebrity the boss is?" Mrs. Tian laughed, a little embarrassed. "I only know our supervisor said the boss is very young, has great taste, and makes high-quality products. But..."

She shook her head, remembering something, "This boss is really something else. He almost wore us new hires out these past few days."

The busyness of Tian's mother and others is merely an influence of Lin Shen's decision after the trajectory ignited the market during the National Day Golden Week.

While issuing repeat order instructions to suppliers, Lin Shen also activated the East China and Southwest warehouses that had already been inspected.

The East China warehouse was located in Songjiang, Shanghai, while the Southwest warehouse was located in Chongqing.

Before the National Day holiday was over, the preparatory team had already flown to both locations and was making rapid progress.

It was at that time that Tian's mother, relying on her past experience, passed the interview and became one of the earliest employees of the Track Southwest Warehouse.

"Alright, alright, the clothes look good, and you look good too. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold," Mother Tian urged with a smile.

The three of them sat down at the table, served their rice, and under the light, several of the takeout dishes emitted an enticing aroma, while the bowl of milky white pig's trotter soup in the middle steamed with heat.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly," Aunt Tian urged. "Your husband has work tonight and has to work overtime. Let's not wait for him; let's eat our own food."

"Oh," Tian Xiguang responded, picking up his chopsticks and precisely choosing a piece of spicy chicken.

"Mom, will you still be this busy later on? I hardly ever see you."

Aunt Tian sprinkled some chopped green onions into the pig's trotter soup, thought for a moment and said, "We'll definitely still be busy. Our supervisor said the company's business is booming; they sold like hotcakes during the National Day holiday."

"Then we'll be preparing for Singles' Day (November 11th) very soon. They say we need to stock up on tons of goods. Our southwest warehouse has just been set up, and there's a lot to do."

Tian Xiwei sipped her soup, listening to her mother's words, and unconsciously poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.

Business is so good... Lin Shen is not only a big star, but also very capable in other aspects.

"Mom, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself." Tian Xiwei looked up at her mother's tired face and said softly.

"I know, I know." Mother Tian smiled contentedly, looking at her two graceful daughters.

"You two, stop criticizing me all the time. Xiguang, how's your studying lately? I haven't seen your monthly exam report yet."

Tian Xiguang shrank back, his eyes darting around, and began his report: "Not bad, not bad! Math has improved! English... I still need to work on English! Mom, you can have some soup!"

She quickly ladled a full bowl of soup for her mother, trying to change the subject.

Mother Tian was amused by her clumsy attempt at hospitality, took the soup bowl, and then looked at her eldest daughter, whom she trusted:

"How about Xiwei? She's in her second year of high school now. Is she finding it difficult? How's her ranking in recent exams?"

"It's alright, I can keep up, and my ranking... is relatively stable." Tian Xiwei answered somewhat absentmindedly.

"My sister's dancing is amazing!" Tian Xiguang said, his mouth still full of food, trying not to forget to praise his sister.

"Their mentors all say she's talented!"

"Eat your food, stop talking so much." Tian Xiwei gently patted her sister, but her sister's words stirred up even bigger ripples in her heart.

Tian's mother glanced at her eldest daughter and said gently, "It's a good thing that you like dancing. It's good to exercise in your spare time."

However, Xiwei, the second year of high school is crucial. You should focus on your studies and get into a good university.

"Yes, I know." Tian Xiwei lowered her head and took a bite of rice.

She knew her mother was right, absolutely right, but the little flame of resentment in her heart seemed to burn even brighter.

The dining table fell silent for a moment, with only the soft clinking of bowls and chopsticks and the sounds of chewing.

Tian Xiwei ate slowly, her mind churning with that sentence, that sentence she had practiced for a long time but never had the courage to say.

She glanced at her mother, who was carefully picking out the Sichuan peppercorns from the spicy chicken.

She glanced at her younger sister again, who winked at her discreetly and mouthed "Go for it!"

Tian Xiwei took a deep breath, put down her chopsticks, and secretly clenched the hem of her clothes under the table.

"mom."

Mother Tian looked up: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Tian Xiwei met her mother's gaze, her heart pounding, but she still managed to speak:

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
