Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ina shook her head and said, "Tong, you should bring in more female classmates or girlfriends."

"Don't you want to tailor clothes for women?"

"Then your customers will only be upper-class women, and only they can afford specially designed clothes."

“Your female classmates or girlfriends can not only provide you with inspiration, but also become your customers.”

"Instead of expecting them to help you out of friendship, it is better to tie them on board and make your interests theirs as well."

Ai Shutong nodded thoughtfully.

Two days later, on Wednesday afternoon, Ai Shutong dressed up and went with Ina to the famous Aili Garden, which was the mansion that Haas built for his wife Wen Rongyi.

Ina made a phone call before coming and learned that the Haas couple were free, so she chose to visit at this time.

"Oh! Wen, you are getting more and more beautiful. Your daughter is so big now, but you are still so radiant."

Wen Rongyi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ina and Ai Shutong respectively.

"Mrs. Ina, don't envy me. You are the trendsetter of Shanghai. Your clothes and makeup are what we all try to imitate."

Wen Rongyi said this as he led them into the house.

As soon as I reached the door, I ran into Haas, his daughter Jessica and a tall and thin foreigner walking towards me.

Ai Shutong was stunned and stopped involuntarily.

Wen Rongyi had already greeted him with a smile, "Baron Henry, why don't you stay a little longer?"

Henry obviously also saw Ai Shutong. While responding to Wen Rongyi, he waved his hand to Ai Shutong.

"I still have to go to Binsha Foreign Trade Company. I'll come visit you next time when I have time!"

At this time, Haas also noticed Ai Shutong, whom Henry greeted. He smiled and asked, "Oh! Baron Henry, is this your friend?"

Henry nodded, "Yes, we knew each other a few years ago."

After hearing this, Ina poked Ai Shutong with her hand, and Ai Shutong immediately knelt down and saluted, "Henry, long time no see."

Henry nodded. "Long time no see. Mary was sad for a long time after you disappeared."

"Where do you live now? Mary will come to Shanghai to visit in a while, and we can get together then."

Ai Shutong said directly: "I live at No. 15 Zhaoqing Bay and I am studying at St. John's!"

Henry gave her a thumbs up and said, "After graduation, you can come to work in our company."

After seeing Henry off, the Haas couple warmly led Ina and Ai Shutong to the reception room.

Jessica followed in.

She and Ai Shutong sat on the same sofa.

Ai Shutong smiled at her politely.

She blinked and asked, "How did you and Henry meet?"

Ai Shutong glanced at Ina, and Ina winked at her.

"Henry's friend's classmate is my teacher."

After a series of character relationships, Jessica was successfully confused.

She then asked, "Where did you first meet?"

Ai Shutong felt that this girl must have feelings for Henry.

In order to win her over, Ai Shutong described to her in detail the scene of her first meeting with Henry.

"So, Henry has a good relationship with that woman named Mary?!"

Ai Shutong certainly wouldn't deny it, "Yes, we are all very good friends!"

“Henry and Mary both have great personalities, and we get along really well!”

Jessica didn't think so. She believed that the reason Henry had a good relationship with Mary was because Mary had a father who was an ambassador.

But her father was a Jew. Although he had acquired British citizenship, his status was lower than that of British commoners, let alone Baron Henry who had aristocratic blood.

This made her a little discouraged for a moment.

She became happy again when Ina and Ai Shutong talked to the Hass couple about renting a shop on Nanjing Road to open a clothing store.

Although her father's status is not as high as that of an ambassador, her father is rich!

She is the daughter of a wealthy Shanghai man!

She immediately became interested in their clothing store and looked like she wanted to give them some advice. "Have you decided on a name?"

Ina and Ai Shutong looked at each other. Ai Shutong understood the meaning in Ina's eyes, but she did not obey this time. Instead, she said directly: "It's ready. Nishang Clothing Store, Miss Jessica, what do you think?"

Ai Shutong can give up her shares, but she must keep the management rights in her hands.

The most taboo thing in running a company is to have two people who have the final say. At that time, the employees will automatically divide into factions, and the competitors will collapse from within without even having to make any moves.

Jessica pouted unhappily, "What do I think? It's just so-so!"

As he said this, he started picking his nails without interest.

Haas laughed, "She's just a little kid, what does she know?"

"Nichang is a name that has a very Chinese flavor and sounds beautiful. It will definitely be favored by the noble ladies in Shanghai."

"I own a teahouse on the west side of Nanjing Road. It hasn't made much money for two years. I'm thinking of closing it down!"

"In this way, I won't charge you rent. Your clothing store will let Jessica take a stake, and the future dividends will be considered as my pocket money for her."

This was exactly what Ina wanted, and Ai Shutong did not object, so the matter was quickly settled.

When Ai Shutong left, Jessica reluctantly pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, when Mary comes to Shanghai, can you take me with you when you have a party?"

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "If she asks me out and doesn't object to me bringing someone, I will call you!"

Jessica was like a child who didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for your call!"

As soon as Ai Shutong got into the car, she let out a long sigh.

Ina smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Ai Shutong nodded without disguising, "Hey! This is much more tiring than a day of classes for me!"

Ina: "If you want to do business, you must learn how to socialize. Without giving, how can you gain anything?"

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement: "Well, I know, I don't have the good fortune to get something for nothing!"

"For my ideal, I will work harder!"

Sunday, cloudy and windy.

Ai Shutong made an appointment with Luo Cisui to go to Nanjing Road to look after a shop today, so she got up early and started exercising.

After running, as soon as I entered the door, I heard a "crackling" sound of something being smashed coming from the house to the east.

Xia Yu may have heard the noise, so he opened the door to check and saw Ai Shutong, "Miss, what happened..."

Ai Shutong quickly put her index finger on her lips: "Shh..."

Xia Yu immediately covered his mouth and signaled with his eyes: What happened?

Ai Shutong pointed to the east and was about to lip-sync when Li Rong's voice came from the east room: "That's my sister and I's mother. No matter what she did was wrong, she gave birth to us and raised us. How could you kick her out!"

Li Zhong's voice followed, "She hid it from me and secretly married your sister to an uneducated and lecherous man! Your sister's second half of her life was ruined by her!"
