Chapter 418
“Can you have your comrade in arms hook me up with Xue Li? I’d like to talk to her over the phone.”
“You don’t need to be involved. Just pretend that you know nothing about it. I’ll take care of this.” Feng Zeyu did not advise for Shu Yan to be involved. There are no permanent secrets in this world. It would wreck more havoc when Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao found out about it. *
This day, right after Xue Li had finished lunch, she was informed by the servant that someone was looking for her.
“Who is it?” She was a girl from the village and was brought to the city by her cousin because she was pretty. She didn’t know anyone there. **
“I don’t know the person. She left after leaving a letter behind.” The servant handed the letter over to Xue Li.
“Okay, I get it.” Xue Li was illiterate before but her cousin had hired a tutor to teach her to read since her arrival at the city. She could not read the words on the note. Li Jiaojiao was not able to get pregnant and Ye Zhiqiang wanted to have a child. That was awesome.
Ye Zhiqiang had no idea what had gotten into Xue Li but she had become more and more affectionate lately. That being said, her affection was very welcomed.
Shu Yan had no idea what Feng Zeyu had done but the Ye family’s side had been quiet. Or that they were working on something grand. Welp, cross that bridge when we come to it.
It was close to the end of the year and she had been busy running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Hu Ruixue had just created a purse line.
“Do we think we are going too fast?” Even Shu Yan was startled by their speed.
“No, I think that we are being slow already.” Hu Ruixue looked at the data from their purse line. They were doing well. “I think we need to invest more in advertising so more people are aware of our brand.”
Hu Ruixue, having tasted the success from advertisement, had been planning way ahead every time before they launch new products. Unfortunately, their contract with CCTV would be expiring soon and it would be difficult for them to renew their contract with them.
“We will need to meet up with CCTV to talk to them and go in person if need be. Money is not an object.” Shu Yan stressed a lot on that.
“I was just about to tell you that. We will go together day after tomorrow.” Hu Ruixue’s relative had already left CCTV; as such, it would be somewhat difficult to have their advertisement aired on CCTV.
Even though their advertisements were only aired during the downtimes but this was CCTV they were talking about. 5 million yuan really wasn’t all that expensive. Owing to the success of their advertisement, many people had been eyeing the spot this year and the price had now gone up to 20 million. Even so, that was an amount that Shu Yan and Hu Ruixue could afford.
With their contract nailed down, the two of them returned happily back to City Nan.
It had been a few days since Shu Yan had been home and her children missed her a lot. It being the weekend, Shu Yan decided to spend the day home to keep them company.
“Little Sister, come have dinner at my place tonight.” Shu Li’s little shop had been doing well and making around 500 yuan a day. She had been a much more cheerful person and offered them beverages as soon as Shu Yan arrived with JingJing and Tianbao. “Have a seat. Dinner is almost ready.”
“Just a couple simple dishes will be fine. We are family.” Shu Yan followed her into the kitchen. Oh boy, braised pork, chicken broth, duck, fish, and shrimp, Tianbao’s favorite.
“There isn’t that many dishes. I just have to finish up the vegetable dish.” Shu Li poked her head out and asked, “How come Yu didn’t come?”
“He’s busy today.” Shu Yan carried the dishes out. “How are you adjusting?”
“Life cannot possibly get better than this.” It would be blasphemous to complain about making several hundred yuan a day.

Translator’s rambling:
Ehehehehe. NOW we know Hu Ruixue’s true purpose in this novel.
* Em... knowing that Shu Yan’s man was involved instead would somehow be any better? =.=
** So messed up (brought out of the village because she was pretty) ...
