Shen Guodong watched the two women working together, their hands moving deftly, and at this moment, he genuinely admired them.
“Oh, Yuexian, anyone who marries you in the future will truly be living a comfortable life. Your skillful and clever nature is really impressive.”
Liu Yuexian, not holding back, grabbed a large piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
Mumbling between bites, she said, “Well, whoever marries me, that depends on whether I find him worthy.”
Seeing her like this, Shen Guodong chuckled beside her, saying, “Ah, that’s really great.”
At the same time, Liu Yueru patted Shen Guodong’s arm and said, “Don’t always be so inappropriate. Yuexian is still in school, what are you thinking about?”
Shen Guodong looked puzzled and asked, “Still in school? What are you planning to do then?”
Clearing her throat, Liu Yuexian replied, “I definitely can’t be like you and give up on myself now. I have to continue on to university.”
Hearing this, Shen Guodong’s face darkened as he asked, “You’re going to university? What are you studying now?”
Though Shen Guodong himself had only officially completed junior high, he retained memories from a past life. He couldn’t claim to know everything from the heavens to the earth, but he understood basic theoretical knowledge quite well.
Liu Yuexian cleared her throat again and said, “Listen carefully, I’m currently a student at a night university.”
At this, Shen Guodong glanced curiously at Liu Yueru and said, “Why hadn’t I heard that she was enrolled in night school before?”
Liu Yueru replied, “Yeah, you think so? She signed up for night classes some time ago and has been studying for a while now.”
Surprised, Shen Guodong asked, “Oh, so you’re at night university. What’s your major?”
Liu Yuexian responded, “Why do you want to know so much? You wouldn’t understand anyway.”
Although she wanted to answer Shen Guodong’s probing questions, his attitude made her reluctant.
Since Shen Guodong’s manner was somewhat aloof, Liu Yueru decided to avoid the topic altogether.
Shaking his head, Shen Guodong said, “Just tell me. Anyway, I don’t understand it.”

Liu Yuexian, still with a childlike temper, smiled lightly at Shen Guodong’s expression and said, “I’m studying finance and accounting. I’ll probably become an accountant in the future.”
Hearing this, Shen Guodong exclaimed, “Oh, accounting’s pretty good. You could even open a store after you graduate.”
Liu Yueru immediately interrupted, “What are you talking about? The child is still young and hasn’t even learned accounting properly yet, and you’re already thinking of opening a store. You’re just giving wild advice.”
Liu Yuexian shook her head and said, “I’ve only just started learning, I only know the basics. Opening a store is a later matter, isn’t it too soon now?”
Shen Guodong nodded in agreement, “It’s just right that I called you here today.”
Curious, Liu Yuexian asked, “What? Did you call me here for something?”
“I thought maybe you had friends studying finance or accounting at university who could help me find a couple of people.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuexian’s interest was piqued. “What, you’re really planning to be an accountant?”
“Well, if not, I want to do a bit of business. See if there’s anyone around here I can have as an assistant. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you a salary.”
Liu Yuexian and Liu Yueru exchanged glances.
Liu Yueru asked curiously, “Why didn’t you say before you wanted to go into business? Who told you to do that?”
Liu Yuexian was also surprised, “Brother-in-law, you’re going into business? Didn’t see that coming.”
Shen Guodong nodded confidently, “Of course. Can your brother-in-law be an ordinary person?”
He went on, “That guy Wang Chengliang from the factory has a cousin who runs a clothing business in Huadu. I thought I’d wholesale a batch of clothes from him and see if you could try selling them at the market here.”
Liu Yueru was surprised, “Selling at a market stall? But you probably won’t make much money that way. Look at the clothes. Didn’t you see Zhang Dama’s stall at the junction? It’s about to close down.”
Liu Yuexian nodded in agreement, “That’s right. If you’re going to start, it has to be a physical store with a good reputation at opening. Only then will more customers come. A market stall won’t work now.”
Shen Guodong shook his head, “You two don’t understand. Nowadays, whether it’s a market stall or a shop, the key is that the clothes must be fresh, trendy, and attractive, right?”
Both women nodded, “Exactly, the clothes have to be nice.”

Shen Guodong smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, “So right now, I’ve prepared 350 sets of women’s clothing and 150 sets of men’s clothing.”
Liu Yueru and Liu Yuexian exchanged glances again. “Brother-in-law, you’re not seriously planning to sell women’s clothes, are you? The women’s clothing business is tough now unless the styles are very beautiful. Otherwise, it’s hard to sell.”
Liu Yuexian added, “I have a colleague whose family runs a clothing factory, and it’s reportedly hard to sell. Business is just average.”
Shen Guodong shook his head, “Can your husband be like everyone else? Come, I’ll show you.”
The three of them went to the big yard, where Shen Guodong picked up an iron rod and knocked out some nails nearby.
The two women looked curiously at the large wooden box in the yard and exclaimed, “Brother-in-law, you really bought 500 sets? If you can’t sell all these, it’ll be a disaster.”
Liu Yueru was baffled, “Why did you buy so many? You should have at least told me first.”
Shen Guodong shook his head and said, “Don’t say anything yet. Come and feel the quality of these clothes.” He then opened the wooden box and took out two plastic bags filled with clothes.
Inside were just two ordinary women’s outfits, one of which was a pleated dress.
The fabric felt luxurious to the touch. Shen Guodong, being discerning, immediately recognized it as acrylic fiber.
The pleated dress was pure white with small floral decorations.
The length was well judged—just below the knee—suitable for an ordinary girl to wear.
Shen Guodong had long considered this; in today’s world, skirts that are too short often attract criticism, and there’s no such thing as leggings underneath.
Liu Yuexian held up the dress and said, “Oh, this dress is so beautiful. I don’t think we sell anything like this around here.”
Liu Yueru was also drawn to the clothes and pulled out a pair of denim overalls.
