Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.

According to the operational schedule of Yuanxian Wardrobe, the store will remain open for half a day tomorrow morning, and all employees will come to work. Lu Yuan will distribute New Year's red envelopes to everyone then, and after finishing their work, everyone can go home to celebrate the New Year.

Lu Yuan arranged a full sixteen-day Spring Festival holiday for everyone, which means that the business will not reopen until after the Lantern Festival.

This holiday length is absolutely fantastic for working people.

Lin Jinfu called Lin Kai and Lin Na yesterday and said he would send someone to pick them up tomorrow at noon to go home for the Chinese New Year.

During the Spring Festival, they will briefly revert to their identities as wealthy young masters and ladies.

However, once the Spring Festival is over, we still have to go back to what we were doing.

Lu Yuan has already sent the recording to Lin Jinfu.

Now that Lin Jinfu has agreed to let Lin Na go home for the New Year, he must have noticed her change and his heart has softened a bit.

Of course, in order to truly gain Lin Jinfu's forgiveness, Lin Na needs a suitable opportunity and a more proper attitude.

Lin Kai didn't really want to go home for the New Year; he preferred to stay in Jiangcheng and spend it with Gao Ya.

But Gao Ya persuaded him to go back, since the two weren't married yet, and Lin Kai was still the eldest son of the Lin family. As his girlfriend, it didn't seem right for her to leave his precious son behind for the New Year.

Lin Kai then suggested taking Gao Ya home for the Chinese New Year. However, Gao Ya refused, because she had not truly gained the Lin family's approval, and going there rashly would inevitably lead to her being treated coldly.

She wasn't about to make a fool of herself.

There was no other way; the two had to separate for a few days.

They say it's a two-week vacation, but Lin Kai will probably come back on his own in just a few days.

To be honest, Lu Yuan truly admired Lin Kai's determination in pursuing love. With such determination and drive, what couldn't he accomplish?

Business has been booming lately. Before online shopping completely took over the market, brick-and-mortar clothing stores remained very popular.

Today, in particular, many people are rushing to buy new clothes for the Lunar New Year before New Year's Eve, making the store exceptionally lively.

Yuanxian Wardrobe's Chinese New Year promotion is "buy five get one free" or "20% off for five items". The discount can be combined with coupons accumulated over the past two months, so returning customers can basically enjoy a 40% discount.

Since starting university, Lu Yuan seems to have paid little attention to the daily affairs of Yuanxian Wardrobe, but in reality, he has been planning marketing activities for the store.

The intensive promotional activities over three to four months have kept Yuanxian Wardrobe at a high level of activity.

Even in the off-season, they can still attract a lot of customers; and once the peak season arrives, the customer base accumulated in the early stages will unleash huge consumption potential.

Therefore, doing business requires patience, accumulating experience, and increasing customer loyalty.

There were so many customers buying clothes today that everyone was extremely busy, and even Linna didn't have a chance to slack off.

As Lu Yuan was discussing the Spring Festival arrangements with Gao Ya, a shop assistant called out to her, "Sister Ya, we're too busy here. Could you personally attend to these two new customers?"

Although Gao Ya is the store manager, when things get busy, she is no different from an ordinary employee and works just as hard.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Gao Ya responded and gestured for Lu Yuan to make himself at home before going over to greet the guest with a professional smile.

Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention at first, but not long after, a familiar voice came over...

"Sweetie, this clothing store opened a few months ago. The clothes are nice and affordable. Pick whatever you like, and I'll give it to you if you see anything you like."

Immediately following was a girl's happy response: "Thank you, Brother Yang, you're such a kind person."

The male voice sounded so familiar. Lu Yuan turned around and, sure enough, it was Yang Shijia, whom he had met the day before yesterday.

Yang Shijia lives on the other side of the small town, not close to the central shopping mall, and rarely comes here. His presence here now must mean he heard the clothes are affordable and brought this girl named Xiaotian to buy them.

To be honest, Lu Yuan didn't have a good impression of Yang Shijia. This dislike probably stemmed from the fact that Ye Yixian had once had a slight liking for him, and Yang Shijia had betrayed that liking.

However, as much as you dislike it, you can't spoil other people's shopping experience.

In business, all you need to do is legally transfer money from the other person's pocket to your own; there's no need to judge what kind of person the other person is.

However, many things in the world don't change because of personal wishes. For example, right now, Lu Yuan's original intention was to ignore Yang Shijia, let him take his girlfriend shopping and leave, and Gao Ya didn't need to know who he was—it was that simple.

But Yang Shijia noticed Lu Yuan.

At first, he thought he was seeing things. He blinked, adjusted his glasses, and after confirming it was Lu Yuan, his expression changed slightly. He then leaned closer, adopting a refined, scholarly demeanor, and said to Lu Yuan, "Aren't you Ye Yixian's boyfriend? What are you doing here? Are you also here to buy clothes for the New Year?"

At that moment, Gao Ya was helping the girl named Xiao Tian try on clothes and didn't notice what was happening here.

Knowing he couldn't avoid Yang Shijia, Lu Yuan replied calmly, "I don't need to buy clothes. Yixian already gave me my new clothes for the New Year."

This is the truth.

A few days ago, Ye Yixian picked out two new outfits for him, which were her New Year's gifts for Lu Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shijia's expression darkened.

He was probably unwilling to accept it. Especially seeing how handsome Ye Yixian had become, it was even harder for him to feel at peace.

Take Xiaotian next to me for example. Although she is a cute little girl, she is no match for Ye Yixian in terms of figure and temperament.

Not all men like cute girls; most men probably prefer women with charm and allure.

Ye Yixian is already quite charming.

Yang Shijia probably had no other choice, so he settled for Xiaotian as a second choice.

He didn't dare to fall out with Lu Yuan because Lu Yuan was much taller and bigger than him. If they really started fighting, he would probably be beaten to a pulp.

So he pretended to be calm and said, "Yixian's family is struggling financially. You're a grown man, and instead of finding a proper job, you let her buy you clothes. Don't you feel ashamed?"

He clearly mistakenly thought Lu Yuan was a conman and swindler.

There are indeed some scoundrels in this world who have no real skills, but they can use their smooth talk to charm young girls who are easily swayed by love, making them willingly spend money on them.

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Yang Shijia continued, "If she had been with me back then, I might have helped her instead of continuing to burden her life. After all, I won't rely on my girlfriend to support me."

Yang Shijia considered himself more promising than Lu Yuan, after all, Lu Yuan was already in college and would have a stable income after graduation, so he wouldn't be unable to support a woman.

Even at the worst, it's still better than a lazy bum who lives off his parents.

Lu Yuan, of course, knew what Yang Shijia was thinking, and wasn't in a hurry to refute her. He simply smiled and asked, "Do you know Chen Li?"

"Chen Li?" Yang Shijia was taken aback. It wasn't that he didn't know her, but he was puzzled as to why Lu Yuan suddenly brought her up. "Why are you asking about her?"

"Where were you when Chen Li bullied Ye Yixian?" Lu Yuan asked.

Yang Shijia was speechless for a moment, as if a sore spot had been touched. His face immediately changed, and he hurriedly defended himself, "Chen Li is crazy! She knows a lot of people in the underworld. It's not that I don't want to help Ye Yixian, but I want to help her subtly, to find a way that benefits everyone. I make a living with my brain, okay?"

Lu Yuan scoffed upon hearing this: "After all these years of thinking, have you come up with a solution that satisfies both sides?"

"this……"

Yang Shijia was speechless again, his face turning extremely pale.
