Chapter 290 Everything is normal
When I got home, Grandma had already prepared dinner.
"Auntie, there's been no news for the past few days."
I was talking to Jiang Yichen quietly in the kitchen.
"She has indeed been much quieter these past few days."
At the dinner table, Grandma picked up a large piece of meat and put it in my bowl.
"I've been counting the days and it's been six months since then."
You need to get some rest these next few days.
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father did not say anything, and he also went out for a few weeks.
"Tomorrow is the day for your prenatal checkup. Don't forget what we agreed on last time."
"Yes, I won't forget."
The next day, I planned to go to the studio after my prenatal checkup.
At the hospital, Jiang Yichen was waiting for me outside the door for my ultrasound.
"Jiang Yichen, the child is perfectly fine now."
"Honey, there's definitely no problem."
We walked out of the hospital as we talked.
Once in the car, I looked up at Jiang Yichen with a questioning gaze.
"What's wrong, honey? Is something the matter?"
"Yes, about what happened yesterday, it felt like you had been planning it for a long time. Tell me, when did you find out?"
“When we were investigating the Jin family, we found out about them in a vague way, so I asked Lin Nan to keep an eye on them.”
I nodded, replying thoughtfully, "I see."
"I need to go to the studio later to see which businesses we'll be working with next. That Mr. Wen from last time is definitely not going to work out, so I need to think of a solution quickly."
Seeing my worried expression, Jiang Yichen said with a doting look, "It's alright, but you said last time that Qin Yu, whom President Wen recommended, is a very interesting person. You should have a good meeting with him."
"Uh-huh."
Inside the studio, someone said, "Yesterday was a real scare. A perfectly good dinner party was almost ruined by those few people with ulterior motives."
After hearing about what happened yesterday, Little Sweetie couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I think we can contact Yunhua Group. After all, the studio's development will inevitably involve cooperation with them."
“That’s right,” Xu Sisi and Xiaotiantian replied in unison.
At that moment, Lin Xiaoxia, who was working outside, knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
"These are some factories I found yesterday that I'd like to cooperate with. Take a look. They're on the verge of bankruptcy. Although we can't acquire them right now, we can revive these businesses," Lin Xiaxia said excitedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she placed the documents in front of me, wanting me to take a look first, before continuing.
I looked through the information and found that there were indeed two merchants with good reputations, but they were now going out of business because they were losing money.
The second line is Yunhua Group, but Yunhua Group is now one of the top companies, so why is it listed here?
"Wait a minute, this Yunhua Group?" I asked her, as if I had already obtained the information.
"Although this Yunhua Group doesn't seem to be a big player in the market, in recent years, despite its reputation as a century-old domestic brand, the quality has been declining, and it has already lost many customers."
Not only that, she even opened her own phone to show me while she was talking.
Now, I don't know whether it was because I was impressed by how diligently this new intern was doing every project, or because I had become suspicious of her identity, so I interrupted her answer.
"In that case, the address is quite close to us, so let's go for an on-site inspection this afternoon. We'll do a live broadcast tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiaxia agreed without hesitation.
"That's great, Xia. With you at the studio, we'll soon be closer to our own company," Little Sweetie quickly chimed in.
"Then I'll go and get busy, Sister Gu."
She waved her hand and walked out, leaving only the three of us in the office.
"If you're going to do a live stream tonight, then do it for two hours. Otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."
I nodded in agreement, gently touching my stomach. So much time had passed without me realizing it; I needed to get some rest.
At 5 p.m., Lin Xiaxia made an appointment with the person in charge of Yunhua Group.
"President Yun couldn't come today; he had something really important to attend to and couldn't make it."
The person who came this time was not the same person as last time, but a man of medium build who did not wear glasses.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to visit the factory today and take some footage to take back."
The man saw me as if I were his lifeline.
In the factory, most of the workers are women, with very few men. However, their craftsmanship is quite good. The handmade fans are very exquisite, and the prices are not very expensive. Many people know this brand.
"Come on, take a look here."
The man pulled me into a room and told me to drink tea and wait for him.
“Ms. Gu, this is a very exquisite Suzhou embroidery fan. Its sales volume has always been high. However, for some reason, Suzhou embroidery fans have received some negative reviews recently. In the past, dealing with these issues was not a problem at all. This time, however, the negative reviews are really overwhelming. Our company has decided to leverage online traffic to resolve this crisis.”
I took the items from his hands, and his assistant also handed one to Xu Sisi and Lin Xiaxia. However, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Lin Xiaxia wasn't looking at it very carefully, but Xu Sisi was.
It is indeed exquisite, and the price is reasonable, so why is there such a strong public reaction?
Based on past experience, it's either malicious slander from competitors or the work of an insider who betrays them.
I continued to caress the patterns on the Suzhou embroidery fan in my hand; the silk threads shimmered with a delicate luster under the light. It was a double-sided peony embroidery, the stitches so fine they were almost invisible, the petals layered upon layered, as if one could smell the fragrance of the flowers.
“Miss Gu,” the man wiped the sweat from his brow, “this situation is indeed tricky. The negative comments mainly focus on two aspects: one is that our embroidery is not purely handmade, and the other is that we are accused of exploiting our embroiderers.”
Xu Sisi suddenly pointed to a corner of the fan: "Here, the gradient of the peony petals is an effect that a machine could never embroider." Her fingertips lightly traced the silk thread. "My grandmother was a successor of Suzhou embroidery. This stitch is called 'random stitch embroidery,' which requires the embroiderer to adapt to the natural texture of the petals."
I noticed Lin Xiaxia's eyes flicker. She was unusually quiet today, barely even using her phone. This was very unusual.
“Give me the sales data for the last three months,” I said, turning to the marketing manager. “Especially the comparison before and after the negative reviews appeared.”
The data was quickly projected onto the large screen in the conference room. Staring at the numbers, I suddenly noticed something unusual: "Wait a minute, why did so many overseas orders suddenly appear on the 15th of last month?"
“This…” He flipped through the report, “is an order from a French luxury goods company, saying they want to customize a batch of high-end gift fans.”
I stood up and walked to the window. The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the glass, casting dappled light and shadow on the Suzhou embroidery fan. France, luxury goods, bespoke... these keywords strung together in my mind.
