After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

The next morning, a figure appeared in every street and alley of the capital city—Lin Qin.

She was carrying a thick stack of promotional posters, walking briskly, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

From the bustling Zhuque Avenue to the quiet alleyways, her figure could be seen posting posters everywhere.

Under the blazing sun, she didn't bother wiping away her sweat; all she wanted was for more people to see her shop.

"Don't miss out! Qinyuan's new products are here, so delicious you'll want to lick the plate clean! Grand opening specials, get extra discounts for recharging your membership!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, her clear voice echoing through the street, attracting many passersby to stop and watch.

As evening fell, Lin Qin dragged her tired body back to the shop, only to find it bustling with activity and noise.

She rubbed her sore shoulders and walked to the counter, where she saw the accountant was extremely busy.

"How many people signed up for membership today?" she asked eagerly.

"Reporting to the boss, we have 128 new members today! The total number of members has now reached 488!" the accountant replied excitedly.

Upon hearing this number, Lin Qin felt all her fatigue vanish instantly.

She clenched her fists tightly, a huge sense of accomplishment welling up inside her.

The goal of 500 men is within reach, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner!

"Great! We're about to succeed!" she exclaimed excitedly, her face beaming with a bright smile.

At this moment, Zhu Ling walked out from the crowd. Seeing Lin Qin's ecstatic expression, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Lin Qin suddenly threw herself into Zhu Ling's arms, hugging him tightly, her excitement beyond words.

"Zhu Ling, we're almost there! We only need twelve more people!" she whispered in his ear, her voice trembling slightly.

Zhu Ling gently stroked her hair and said softly, "I know you've worked hard."

The scene of the two embracing looked especially heartwarming amidst the bustling shop.

However, at that moment, a discordant voice suddenly shattered this beautiful atmosphere...

"Someone is looking for the proprietress of Qinyuan!"

A month passed in the blink of an eye, like a fleeting moment.

When the last member happily completed the membership card process, Qinyuan's total membership reached 520!

Far exceeded expectations!

Looking at the ever-increasing numbers in the ledger, Lin Qin was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

She clutched the ledger tightly, as if she held the whole world in her hands.

"Ahhh! We did it!" Lin Qin jumped up excitedly, cheering like a child.

"Five hundred people! We've surpassed them! We've surpassed them!"

The shop assistants cheered, high-fiving and hugging each other to celebrate their hard-won victory.

The sound of firecrackers echoed through the sky, bringing the festive atmosphere to a climax.

Inside and outside Qinyuan Garden, crowds thronged, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Lin Qin stood at the shop entrance, receiving congratulations from everyone.

She stood tall and straight, with a confident smile on her face, like a triumphant queen.

As the sun set, golden sunlight bathed her, gilding her with a golden glow.

In the crowd, Zhu Ling gazed at Lin Qin with deep affection, his eyes filled with love and respect.

He walked slowly to Lin Qin, gently took her hand, and said affectionately, "Qin'er, you did it! You are more outstanding and more dazzling than I imagined."

Lin Qin looked at Zhu Ling with emotion, tears blurring her vision once again.

She choked back tears as she said, "Thank you, Zhu Ling. Without you, I..."

Zhu Ling gently pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Silly girl, what are you saying? We rely on each other and are each other's strength."

The two embraced tightly, and those around them applauded and offered their blessings.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and only the sound of their heartbeats could be clearly heard.

Just then, a messenger rushed in, breaking the warm atmosphere.

He walked up to Lin Qin and respectfully handed her a letter. "Ms. Lin, a letter from the palace."

Lin Qin took the letter and opened it with a puzzled look.

The letter contained only a few lines, yet it sent a jolt through her heart…

"Meet me at the palace at noon tomorrow."

The golden sunlight shone on Lin Qin, as if draping her in a glorious battle robe.

She stood in front of the Qinyuan gate, the tall plaque gleaming in the sunlight, as dazzling as her achievements.

A surging crowd, cheers, exclamations, and compliments merged into a massive wave of sound that enveloped her.

Lin Qin looked around and saw familiar faces: Qin Yuan's employees, her business partners, and her former colleagues who had mocked her but now admired her.

At that moment, she felt as if she were floating on a cloud, overlooking the entire capital city, and an unprecedented sense of accomplishment welled up within her.

"Mr. Lin, you are truly amazing! I doubt there is any woman in the capital who can compare to you!" A richly dressed merchant flattered him with a beaming smile, his tone filled with envy and admiration.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, your business acumen is simply divine! We all need to learn from you!" another businessman chimed in.

Lin Qin smiled slightly and humbly responded to everyone's praise.

She recalled that when she first transmigrated, she was penniless and had no relatives or friends. It was this small shop that gave her hope and led her step by step to success.

Now, standing at the pinnacle of business, looking down upon all living beings, she is filled with countless emotions.

The staff at Qinyuan were overjoyed, their faces beaming with happiness as they received their generous rewards.

Craftsman Zhou also received more orders, and his workshop was booming, keeping him extremely busy.

"Boss Lin, thanks to you, we're able to live such a good life!" one of the employees said excitedly.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you are truly our lucky star!" another waiter chimed in, his tone full of respect.

The people around Lin Qin expressed their gratitude to her, surrounding her as if she were their queen.

Looking at the sincere smiling faces, Lin Qin felt a surge of warmth and comfort in her heart.

She knew that her success was not only her own glory, but also the glory of all those who supported and helped her.

As night falls, Qinyuan Garden is brightly lit and bustling with activity.

At the celebratory banquet, glasses clinked and laughter filled the air.

Zhu Ling walked to Lin Qin's side and gently took her hand. "Qin'er, come with me."

Zhu Ling led Lin Qin through the noisy crowd to a quiet corner in the backyard of Qin Garden.

The moonlight, like water, poured down, enveloping the entire courtyard in a soft glow.

An ancient osmanthus tree stands in the courtyard, its branches and leaves lush and exuding a faint fragrance.

Zhu Ling stopped and turned to look at Lin Qin, her eyes filled with tenderness.

He gently pulled Lin Qin into his arms, his deep voice whispering in her ear, "Qin'er, you look so beautiful tonight."

Lin Qin's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart pounded like a drum.

She buried her head in Zhu Ling's chest, feeling the warmth and sense of security emanating from him.

Under the moonlight, Zhu Ling's features became even more distinct, with sharp angles, as if sculpted.

His eyes were deep and gentle, as if they could draw you in.

"This is the first time I've ever seen you so radiant." Zhu Ling gently stroked Lin Qin's hair, his tone filled with affection. "Qin'er, you are my queen."

Lin Qin smiled shyly and gently punched Zhu Ling's chest, "What are you saying? It's so cheesy."

Zhu Ling took Lin Qin's hand and gently kissed it. "I mean it." He paused, his tone becoming even more serious. "Qin'er, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, protecting you and supporting you."

Lin Qin raised her head and looked at Zhu Ling with deep affection.

Under the moonlight, his eyes shone like stars, captivating her.

She reached out and gently stroked Zhu Ling's cheek. "I believe in you, Zhu Ling."

Zhu Ling hugged Lin Qin tighter, and the two embraced quietly, feeling each other's warmth and love.

Time seemed to stand still, and only the sound of their heartbeats could be clearly heard.

“Oh, right, Zhu Ling…” Lin Qin suddenly remembered something, “Today I saw an old man selling sugar figurines on the street, his craftsmanship was exceptional, it reminded me of my childhood…” She paused, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, “But now these folk crafts are becoming increasingly rare, many are on the verge of being lost…”

Zhu Ling gently patted Lin Qin's back. "I know what you're thinking, Qin'er."

“I…I want to do something.” Lin Qin said firmly, “I want to find these lost skills and pass them on.”

Zhu Ling looked at Lin Qin and said, "Qin'er, do whatever you want to do. I will always support you."

A bright smile appeared on Lin Qin's face, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

But she knew that this path was not easy and was full of challenges and difficulties.

"My first task is to find those successors..." Lin Qin murmured to herself.

"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door interrupted Lin Qin's thoughts.
