Chapter 204 - The Development

"Alright." Even though Yu Yan was not sure about the problems Long Ying was worried about, she knew that he was concerned about her. Thus, she didn't argue and accepted his arrangement. 

Long Ying caressed his wife's hair and sighed. The Long Family problems should settle down in a few more days if Long Shu Ting was quick. But before he was sure about it, he would not let Yu Yan stay alone.

Yu Yan still watched the security camera of her uncle in the police station. As it turned out, Kang Xie Jing had no intention to defend his sisters and only said to the police officers that they could handle as they see fit.

Kang Mao Lan was obviously enraged and threw tantrum but Kang Xie Jing acted as if he didn't care and let her be. He had no intention of wiping her problems again when she was already so old.

She had to take care of the problems she did herself!

It was not known whether Kang Mao Lan was angry because of it but she ended up fainting and had to be tended. It was then revealed that she was simply too angry and due to her age… she had started to have some problems.

…

The next day, Yu Yan visited Xingyan Company. Even though Lei Xing Yi had only filed a case the day before, she had returned back to work and looked as energetic as she could be. 

Yu Yan was even more speechless than Lei Xing Yi. "You look happy."

Lei Xing Yi let out a faint laugh. "Do you really think that I'll be weeping and grieving right now? Oh well, I did feel so sad yesterday that I had to down a glass of wine to drink my sorrow away."

So sad that she had to drink wine?

From the way Yu Yan perceived it, it was simply a celebration because she was finally away from her parents who continued to haunt her even in her dreams. With those two no longer interfering with her life, Lei Xing Yi could now relax and focus on her business.

"Now that you're already very energetic again, shall we begin to devour other supplier and also factory?" Yu Yan asked. 

This was one of the plan she had before for the development of Xingyan Company. If not because Lei Xing Yi was not in the right state of mind to deal with it, Yu Yan would have gone with the proposal since a long time ago.

Lei Xing Yi nodded. "Yes. It's time to make Xingyan Company's name known een to other cities. I will need your help, Sister Yan."

"I'll do my best but you need to figure out how to negotiate with the other companies on your own. I'll draft the plan and you'll check on it." Yu Yan didn't really mind in the slightest bit.

Hearing that, Lei Xing Yi was speechless. "Do you really hope for me to settle the problem of negotiating on my own?"

"You're the Boss, I'm only an assistant whose task is to keep you on track."

"… Fine."

Yu Yan looked at the sales report and pondered. "How about opening a new branch store and create promotion hype? If you do discount on the day it opened, you'll be able to attract more people. The design and production is almost complete, right?"

They had already opened the store a few months prior. But at that time, the budget was not as much as now. The promotion was a bit subpar if compared to many other stores of similar brand.

Well, it was also a fairly new brand and Lei Xing Yi was only able to gather some hype by inviting some famous people to the store during the day it opens.

Lei Xing Yi played with the pen on her fingers. "It's not impossible, but I'm still thinking about where I should open it. The main store is doing well but it's not that famous yet."

"You can pick this street."

"The hell, the place there is expensive!"

Yu Yan smiled mirthlessly. "Do you forget that you have more than enough capital now, Miss Lei Xing Yi?"

Lei Xing Yi shrugged. She did have some money after selling quite a lot of jewelries through her store, but it was not much. If she had to spend more to buy a store from that street, she would have to use up almost everything she had earned for the past few months.

Her heart felt the pinch.

"Do you think it'll be successful?"

"Yes. I'll handle the promotion since I know some people who will gladly work for minimum price." Or in other words, she would be asking some of her friends.

Lei Xing Yi arched her eyebrows. "Please don't tell me that you're going to ask that troublemaker from Tian Family."

"You know I know him?"

"The incident is widespread. Even if my focus was studying, do you think I would miss such obvious news?" Lei Xing Yi was even more speechless. Most people would have forgotten about that incident but she could still remember that matter very clearly.

After all, the one who was involved in that incident was her cousins.

"I can ask for his help… but do you think Tian Family will not ask for a lot of money for their channels?" Yu Yan could ask help for that matter back then because it was just one time and Tian Quan didn't mind helping out. But now that she was going to promote a brand, it would be impossible.

They had to pay the necessary payment. 

"Then…"

"Negotiating with some lower malls and others will do." Yu Yan looked at Lei Xing Yi with a puzzled expression.. "Also, do you really think that with your current resources, you'll be able to compete with those at the very top chain? You will need more capital and also the method to supply a large amount of products at the same time."
