Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Qin Zhonghui said urgently, ”Xiao Jiao, I don’t think it’s that your third uncle dislikes Xiao Jiang. He’s just been affected by what happened before and feels like he’s not good enough for her. Can you please help?”

”Dad, I knew you’d come to me. Regarding this matter, not only will I not help, but I can’t. You can’t help either. No one can. Ultimately, the choice is up to Third Uncle himself.”

If Qin Jiqun really has feelings for Jiang Ling, he has to be the one to take the first step.

That way, if they get together, he will truly treat Jiang Ling well.

The two of them will be able to move forward as equals and build a happy life together.

It’s like I always say: marriage is something two people have to work on together.

Just as everyone was busy preparing for the Lunar New Year, Jinyi Company—which had been building a lot of hype—opened with great fanfare.

What’s more, the company was located very close to Jiu Yi.

It was a blatant challenge.

Not only that, but they had even poached some of Jiu Yi’s staff.

Jiang Xiaoyue said angrily, ”Those people are so short-sighted. They were offered several times their salary and immediately jumped ship.”

Qin Jiao asked, ”Did they take any designs with them?”

”No. I personally approve all the design samples, so they couldn’t have gotten their hands on the new spring collection. At most, they might have some design sketches from previous years.”

’She wasn’t concerned about the old designs. After all, even if the sketches weren’t stolen, they could still get their hands on finished garments to study and replicate.’

’It would be ridiculously easy for them.’

The fashion industry is all about constant innovation.

This was why Qin Jiao had focused so heavily on design from the very beginning.

She had also been quick to file for patents on everything.

Although Jiu Yi had lost some people, fortunately, none of them were key personnel, and there were no significant losses.

But of course, Jinyi didn’t know that.

Inside the president’s office at Jinyi Company, seven or eight people were sitting, all clutching new contracts and looking extremely excited.

Su Zeyuan, sitting in the boss’s chair, said, ”Thank you all for joining. The triple salary I promised has already been deposited into your accounts. In one month, you’ll receive a five-month year-end bonus. If the company’s performance doubles by this time next year, there will be even more rewards for everyone.”

”In three years, if the company’s profits double for three consecutive years, I’ll reward each of you with a hundred-square-meter house in North City!”

”Wow! Boss Su, you can rest assured. We’ll work really hard!”

The group was ecstatic. ’Working here for three years would be worth more than ten years at Jiu Yi!’

’Only an idiot wouldn’t take this deal!’

As for betraying their former company, they didn’t see anything wrong with it. After all, people die chasing riches just as birds die chasing food.

These seven or eight people came from four different departments at Jiu Yi. Although he hadn’t managed to poach any supervisors, Su Zeyuan believed his new team would at least not be that much worse than Jiu Yi’s.

The group left with beaming smiles.

It was the grand opening today, and rumor had it they’d invited quite a few big-name celebrities and even had a lion dance.

Outside, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

Su Yuxi walked in, her hips swaying. She wore a white woolen overcoat with a fur collar and high heels, and she frowned with a hint of annoyance.

She said, ”Zeyuan, are you really sure that hiring these people at such a high price is enough to beat Jiu Yi?”

”Of course. Besides, their presence alone is enough to get under Qin Jiao’s skin.”

At that thought, a small smile appeared on Su Yuxi’s face as well.

Just then, Su Zeyuan reached out and pulled Su Yuxi onto his lap.

Su Yuxi instinctively said, ”Don’t. This is the office.”
