Of course, Cao Xiaolian did not know about any of this.

She waved at Shang Yin. "Here."

Shang Yin had just cheated Li YuGeng, but he was in the middle of enjoying himself. He didn't notice that Cao Xiaoling seemed to have become more friendly with him today.

"Is your mother done?"

When everyone saw that she was asking this question, she knew that they were concerned about her, so she nodded, "Yes, the environment there is very good. The doctor is very professional and the nurse is very responsible. Thank you for helping me."

This thank you is sincere, only after going there did I learn that there are restrictions in this place. If Cao Xiaolian came, she would not be able to come in even with a broken head.

However, if that person was Shang Yin, she wouldn't be surprised at all.

In his previous life, there had once been a reporter who had interviewed Shang Yin.

For Shang Yin to be able to become such a huge business empire, it was inseparable from her personality and complicated human network. For example, the person who went to interview was just the most insignificant reporter, but her performance was like a spring breeze, very considerate and very comfortable. She had no airs, she was perfectly calm, like a close friend of many years, and the reporter had the urge to resign and work for her.

Even a mere reporter was like this. It could be seen that her success was by no means a coincidence, nor did it happen overnight. It was a habit that had been formed since she was young.

"That's good." Shang Yin pulled her out from his memories, "I've already rented the house, and I've also taken photos of it. Everything is ready, it's all up to you now."

Cao Xiaoling lowered her head and rummaged through her backpack.

"This bag is pretty good." Shang Yin couldn't tear his eyes away from it.

This bag was made by Cao Xiaolan herself and was mixed with the minority styles in the southwest. In fact, this bag was available in the Yungui region now, but the transportation wasn't very developed and people didn't have any idea of travelling, so they felt refreshed.

"I sewed this bag myself." Cao Xiaolian said honestly, "The design is modelled after the style of the ethnic minorities of the southwest. The embroidery there is exquisite and very beautiful. I'm just following the style of the western clan."

Shang Yin raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this little girl to know so much.

"Alright, let's not worry about that for now. How are your preparations for Teacher Tao's things?"

Cao Xiaolian placed the things she had taken out of her bag on the table. "Look at these. They were painted by me on my way to the provincial capital."

Shang Yin had an insatiable smile on his face as he teased, "Yo, you're so versatile, you can even draw now."

However, after taking a look at it, he immediately focused it onto the paper, unable to shift his gaze away.

Looking at the sketches in her hands, Cao Xiaolian felt uneasy.

If it was anyone else, she would have the confidence to do so. She wouldn't be afraid even if she was seen by Tao Qing, but facing Shang Yin, she really wasn't confident.

After all, this was the woman who would become the richest in the future, standing at the top of the pyramid!

She didn't know why, but before she knew her real identity, she had looked at a rebellious fake kid and sometimes she had scoffed at him from the bottom of her heart. Now that he knew that she was that arrogant woman, his state of mind would be different.

While she was worrying, Shang Yin had finished reading.

"You drew this yourself?"

Shang Yin was also astonished.

Although she didn't know much about designs, her astonishing business talent told her that Cao Xiaoliu's manuscripts would definitely be a shock to her if they were to be leaked.

Each of her designs looked very simple and generous, but they were also very special. They carried an indescribable spirit energy and a unique charm. With a single look, one would associate them with Tao Qing's temperament.

Arrogant and aloof, rejecting others from a thousand miles away, yet unable to produce a sense of revulsion and alienation, it was like a pure lotus emerging from the mud without a stain on its surface. It was not to be scoffed at, but it could not help but linger on.

On each of Cao Xiaolian's blueprints, there was a small green lotus.

"How do you know Teacher Tao likes lotuses?"

Cao Xiaolian was stunned. "I don't know. I just feel that this is very much like Teacher Tao."

With this sentence, Shang Yin decided that he must cultivate her properly in the future. This was a piece of unpolished jade, and it couldn't be rarer.

"Very good, the design is very good." Shang Yin affirmed, "Especially this lotus, it's like the finishing touch."

She was sure that Tao Qing would like it.

Since the two of them had already made a contract, she didn't want to delay any longer. Because the delay was too long, she originally wanted to make some herself. But now, it seemed that she could only draw some.

Shang Yin parked his car in front of the department store. After Cao Xiaolan got out of the car, she handed over a key.

"The place is at the intersection of Hua Mei Lane. You can see it at a glance. Go and take a look at the store later. I still have things to do, so I won't be going."

Flowery Lane?

Cao Xiaoling froze for a moment. That place wasn't as well-known as the commercial building, but she remembered that in about 94, four years later, the county would be merged together. After that, it became a city, a big building, and a huge shopping mall would be built here.

And that address was at Hua Mei Lane.

She was starting to admire Shang Yin now. She carried the memories of her past life with her and occupied the vanguard position, but Shang Yin was able to sense everything.

After bidding farewell to Shang Yin, she carried the blueprint up to the third floor but surprisingly found no trace of Chen Lifen.

"Big Sis." She asked a fat woman at the counter beside her, "Do you know when the fabric seller, Sis Chen, is coming to work?"

She remembered that Chen Lifen had said that she would come here every day. She wondered why she didn't come today.

"Ah, Lifen, you mean." The chubby woman said, "I heard that her family members came. Today, they took half a day off. You just wait here and come back in the afternoon."

Cao Xiaoling saw that it was already 12 o'clock. She wanted to wait for a while. She had to explain the blueprints clearly before starting the construction. She couldn't delay any longer.

Fortunately, before long, he heard a familiar voice say, "Aiya, big sister, you're back."

Cao Xiaolian looked up. If it wasn't Chen Lifen, who else could it be?

She was probably in a hurry, sweating and panting.

"Yes, Sis Chen, I have something to talk to you about."

"Fine, wait for me here. I'll go in and drink some water."

Chen Lifen went to the counter and found her own cup. She poured herself a cup of cold water and gulped it down. Then she wiped the water on her mouth with her sleeve and took a deep breath.

"Sister, how is your mother's body?"

Cao Xiaolian explained the plan again. Then she took out her blueprint impatiently and handed it to Chen Lifen.

"Size, size, I've written it down. Brother is an expert, I'll definitely understand once I see it."

Since it was where Chen Lifen worked, she had to lower her voice so that no one else could hear her.

"Alright, I understand." Chen Lifen packed up the sketches, "Don't worry, your big brother is useless. He said that he was number two in this town and no one would dare to be number one. That ancestor was the life of a tailor. "

Cao Xiaoling pursed her lips and smiled. Chen Lifen was still the same. She felt that the ability of teachers and civil servants to carry iron rice bowls was the real ability. She despised these kinds of postmortem artists.

If she knew that in the future these talents would be unable to meet the demand and all of them would want to be worshipped, who knew if she would be scared out of her mind.

"Oh yeah, Sis Chen, there are guests at home?"

Initially, Cao Xiaoling was just being polite. Unexpectedly, Chen Lifen was dissatisfied with her. "Yes, she's your big brother's cousin. My aunt's daughter is so annoying."

"Speaking of which, it's really my life. I've lost my parents since I was young and became a child's daughter-in-law for others. I finally gave birth to a girl, and the man died of dysentery. It's tiring to have a widow tugging at a child. "

Cao Xiaolian listened but did not say anything.

She didn't like this kind of family story. However, she didn't seem to be happy with Chen Lifen so she might as well treat it as a trash can.

"Everyone says that there are many troubles in front of the widow's door. She is the best, always looking for trouble. "Well, I don't know what the offense is. I'm here to borrow some money."

It seemed that Chen Lifen was very dissatisfied with her husband's cousin.

The last time he looked at her, she was a little over ten years old and had started to develop. She did not even buy a bra for him to wear. The child was dark and thin and looked like a monkey. In the past, this cousin didn't walk around much and always borrowed money the moment she came to the door. The man at home was easy to talk to and wanted to take it without a second word, so she wasn't that generous to him.

After chatting for a long time, Cao Xiaoling finally lost interest and quietly changed the topic. "I met Shang Yin, she said she rented the shop and told us to go take a look."

"Is the lease ready?" "Where is he?"

"Flowery Lane, first place."

"Why is it that way!" Upon hearing this name, Chen Lifen's smiling expression turned gloomy, "There are too few people over there. Can we sell that place?"

"I think so." Of course, Cao Xiaolian could not possibly say that it would be a business land in the future, so she could only make an excuse, "After all, we are custom-made now, and ordinary families cannot afford it. It's just word of mouth, so there's no problem. "

Since Shang Yin and Cao Xiaoling had both said it, Chen Lifen was too embarrassed to say anything else. When Cao Xiaoling invited her to take a look at the shop, she smiled apologetically, "Sister, I can't go right now, I'm still working. I have to pick up the kids after work tonight, you can go directly.

Looking at her embarrassed smile, Cao Xiaolian had the faint feeling that it wouldn't be long before there would be a problem in this cooperation.

Shang Yin obviously felt that Chen Lifen was unnecessary. After all, she had money and connections, so anything was better than Chen Lifen's. If it was about technology, he could just find a sewing worker and get a salary. But now that she gave Chen Lifen a third of her profits for free, she had some complaints.

As for Chen Lifen, she didn't like Shang Yin, who had intervened in the middle of the process. However, he had a tough wrist, so she had to agree.

This situation was not what Cao Xiaolian wanted. If they were distracted, they wouldn't be able to continue their business.

However, there was no other way for him to get to this point. He had to do it this way first.

The commercial building wasn't too far from Huamei Lane. It would only take twenty minutes to walk through the alley.

When they arrived at the beautiful alley, Cao Xiaolian frowned when she saw the scene in front of her.

The houses in this area were all one-story houses, but there weren't many people living here. Right now, it looked extremely desolate and desolate. No experienced person would choose to open a shop here.

Looking at the woman in front of her, Cao Xiaolian forced a smile. She thought to herself, "It's fine. I'm not going to use assembly line now anyway. I'm not greedy." Take the root first and then we'll talk.

The door was rather old, and it was also a bronze lock. She took the key and turned it in one go, and after opening it, there was a small courtyard that was five square meters wide, inside it were piles of broken flower pots, probably due to the rain from two days ago.
