“Wanwan, how’s it going?” When Zhou En saw Xia Wan appear at the store entrance, he hurriedly went up to ask.

“There’s news, my parents should be able to come back soon.” Xia Wan held Zhou En’s hand with one hand, and the two walked into the store together.

Zhou En also seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face relaxed in an instant.

“How has the store been these past few days?” Xia Wan looked around the store, which seemed to have no customers.

“The store hasn’t had many customers these past few days. The shop across the street can’t even get one or two customers in a day,” Zhou En said somewhat disheartenedly. “I don’t really know what the situation is!”

“It’s okay, things should improve once the new products arrive in a few days.” Xia Wan gently patted Zhou Ents shoulder, telling her not to be too nervous.

Zhou En blinked at Xia Wan. “New products coming to the store? That’s really great!”

“Some customers have said that although most of our store’s styles are similar to those in the city, they always lack something to their liking,” Zhou En couldn’t help but sigh, “It would be better if there were more matching options!”

“The purchasing power of the county town hasn’t reached the standard of the city, but obviously, people’s aesthetic tastes in clothing are becoming more uniform,” Xia Wan pondered.

According to Xia Wan’s memory, the county town’s fashion aesthetics and purchasing power were always a few years behind the city.

But unexpectedly, now the people in this county town are demanding more and more innovation in clothing, and there’s a trend of catching up with the city’s fashion!

“Oh, right, a registered letter came for you,” Zhou En suddenly remembered something else and, while speaking, walked to the back of the display shelf to take out a small envelope, “1 was going to bring it to you later!”

Xia Wan took the letter, opened it, and looked at it, her expression a bit strange.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou En looked at Xia Wan’s expression, which seemed to be both smiling and stiff, “Is something wrong?”

She had never seen such a conflicted expression on Xia Wan’s face.

“It’s nothing, it’s an invitation from Professor Yang Ning,” Xia Wan handed the invitation to Zhou En.

“An invitation to the Beijing Designers Conference?” Zhou En exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Wan nodded, her smile deepening.

“Xia Wan!” Zhou En suddenly shouted, holding the invitation in one hand and shaking Xia Wan’s hand vigorously with the other, “Look! My name is on it too!”

Xia Wan was a bit amused and bemused: “This invitation is probably because of our award-winning work last time!”

Zhou En’s expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to an excited state: “That’s great! You have no idea how much I wanted to attend the

Designers Conference!”

“Xia Wan, thank you so much!” Zhou En said sincerely.

‘Why thank me, it’s your own effort that earned this!” Xia Wan refused to take credit.

Zhou En shook her head: “Without you, I don’t know how many years it would have taken to earn this honor!”

“Alright! Think about what you need to prepare for the conference!” Xia Wan said, pulling away from Zhou En’s tight grip, “I have other things to handle, and I’ll leave the travel preparations to you!”

Xia Wan’s words dampened Zhou En’s enthusiasm a bit, “Your parents haven’t come back yet, we…”

“It’s okay, my parents should be back in half a day,” Xia Wan said confidently.

“Then…” Zhou En still hesitated.

“Don’t worry! We won’t leave until a week later, my parents will definitely be back safely!” Xia Wan patted Zhou En’s hand again to reassure her.

Zhou En no longer hesitated, excitedly holding the invitation and spinning around in place, her previously gloomy mood completely gone.

Xia Wan watched Zhou Ents excited state, but her mind was muddled with thoughts of the shop across the street.

Jiang Lu was staring at the shop across the street.

Wen Shu had also gone to the shop to look for something.

But since they took over the shop, they had done a thorough cleanup, yet found nothing special.

What exactly are they looking for?

Also, Zhou En mentioned that the shop had few visitors these days.

Since the shop opened, such a situation had hardly ever occurred.

Was someone sabotaging it, or was there another reason?

Xia Wan’s mind raced, but she couldn’t figure it out for the moment.

Although Zhang Cheng was watching Jiang Lu’s side, it wouldn’t cause any trouble for the time being.

But was his real goal just this batch of military orders?
