She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

As evening fell, Shen Qingge sat in her office with a new product proposal spread out in front of her.

This is a plan she worked on late into the night these past few days, intending to take advantage of Haier's investment to launch a series of new products suitable for young people.

"In the era of live streaming, product design also needs a new mindset."

She was writing and drawing in her notebook, her eyes focused.

Traditional jewelry designs focus more on the physical appearance, but in live streaming, consumers' first impressions often come from the screen.

How to make products more visually impactful under the lens is a completely new challenge.

Just as she was focused on her work, her phone suddenly rang.

She was taken aback when she saw the caller ID—it was her aunt Shen Wanjun, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time.

"Qingge," a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, still as gentle and elegant as I remembered, "How have you been lately?"

"It's all good, Aunt." Shen Qingge put down her pen, her voice softening unconsciously.

She had always been very close to this aunt since she was a child.

In her eyes, Shen Wanjun was the epitome of a perfect woman—elegant, successful in her career, and with a strong voice in her family.

"Are you free tonight? Come over for dinner, it's been so long!"

Shen Wanjun said, her tone gentle.

Shen Qingge hesitated for a moment.

Since her engagement to Haize, she has indeed had much less contact with her aunt.

Her aunt had always known about her feelings for Gu Tingyu and tried her best to bring them together.

Since Gu Tingyu married Su Maiqi and she married Haize, the two of them have been unsure how to face each other.

“Okay,” she finally agreed, “I’ll come over after I get off work at six.”

"Okay, I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingge leaned back in her chair, recalling the little things she did at her aunt's house when she was a child.

Back then, her aunt would always buy her beautiful dresses in different ways, teach her how to drink afternoon tea elegantly, and tell her that girls should have their own opinions.

It was around that time that she met Gu Tingyu.

In the evening, Shen Qingge drove to Shen Wanjun's villa in the suburbs.

The villa's decor is as elegant as ever, full of European classical charm.

The crystal chandelier in the living room casts a soft glow, and several valuable oil paintings hang on the walls; every detail reflects the owner's taste.

"Qingge is here." Shen Wanjun came out of the kitchen, wearing a light purple silk dress today, exuding elegance and friendliness.

The table was already set with dishes, all of which were Shen Qingge's favorites—truffle stew, steamed sea bass, garlic vermicelli baby bok choy... and her favorite mango pomelo sago.

"Your uncle has an important dinner appointment today, so it's just the two of us, aunt and nephew, having a good chat."

Shen Wanjun smiled and personally served Shen Qingge a bowl of soup.

The two chatted as they ate, talking about everything from their recent lives to their work.

Shen Wanjun was very concerned about the recent situation of the Shen family. After hearing that the Hai family had invested, she showed an approving smile.

"Haize is a good kid; he stepped up in a crucial moment." She elegantly wiped her mouth.

"But Qingge, women should still have their own careers. I heard you're doing live streaming with that girl named Su Wanyu?"

Shen Qingge nodded: "Yes, the effect is quite good."

"I watched a few live streams, and that Su Wanyu is indeed very distinctive." Shen Wanjun put down her cutlery, her eyes becoming serious.

"However, your current positioning is still too mass-market. If you want to grow bigger, the high-end market is the real blue ocean—it's more profitable and also better for brand building."

Shen Qingge looked at her aunt with some surprise. She hadn't expected her aunt to know so much about live streaming.

"I know several executives from European luxury brands who are constantly looking for new channels suitable for the Chinese market."

Shen Wanjun continued, "If you're interested, I can act as a go-between."

"Really? That's great!" Shen Qingge's eyes lit up.

This is exactly the direction she has always wanted to explore.

"However, I suggest you consider investing in Jade Linglong." Shen Wanjun picked up her glass of red wine and took a sip.

"Building a platform has greater potential than simply being a live-streaming sales host. This is the new battleground in the live-streaming era; you need to have your own base."

She put down her wine glass and said meaningfully, "Qingge, you need to understand that your status in your husband's family isn't just about pleasing him. Only by having your own career can you truly have confidence."

Shen Qingge looked down at the swirling red wine in her glass, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew, of course, that her aunt was right, and she deeply understood the importance of economic independence.

Little did her aunt know, she was already a major shareholder of Yu Linglong.

But she didn't want to say it out loud, and simply said gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt, for thinking of me so much."

"Silly child," Shen Wanjun reached out and patted the back of her hand, her eyes full of affection, "You've been sensible since you were little, and your aunt feels sorry for you."

Although Hai Ze protects the Hai family, they are ultimately outsiders. Only by becoming strong can one truly control their destiny.

Seeing her aunt's concerned eyes, Shen Qingge felt a warmth in her heart.

Thinking about my aunt's position in the family, it was indeed due to her outstanding business acumen. My uncle would consult her on many decisions.

“Oh, right,” Shen Wanjun suddenly said, “there’s a private jewelry exhibition next week, and many top collectors will be attending.”

I've gotten you an invitation. You can bring Su Wanyu along; maybe we can develop some high-end clients.

Shen Qingge's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

My aunt truly cares for me.

It was late when she left. Shen Wanjun personally saw her to the door, not forgetting to remind her, "Remember what your aunt said, you must have your own career. If you need any help, just let me know."

On her drive home, Shen Qingge's thoughts were still lingering on the warm lights of her aunt's house.

This dinner gave her a lot of inspiration.

My aunt is right. In this era, women should have their own careers.

The opportunities brought by live streaming are the best entry point.

She decided to accelerate the expansion of Jade Linglong.

Taking advantage of Hai's investment in Shen's, Yu Linglong should also start to lay out its strategy for the high-end market.

With the resources her aunt had provided in mind, she had already conceived a preliminary plan.

If luxury goods live streaming can be successfully implemented, Yu Linglong's brand image will be elevated to a whole new level.

In the darkness, the streetlights swept past the car window one by one. Shen Qingge's gaze grew increasingly resolute.

She wants Yu Lingzhu to make a name for herself in the live streaming industry.

It wasn't just about gaining a position within the Hai family, but also about proving one's own worth.

Back home, she thought about her aunt's experiences over the years. She had always harbored resentment towards her father because her grandfather favored boys over girls, and her aunt was determined to prove herself.

After marrying her uncle, she also relied on her own abilities to become her husband's right-hand woman, helping him to consolidate his position in the family and the business world.

Only then did he finally win his uncle's approval and respect.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city lights in the distance, Shen Qingge smiled slightly.

A new opportunity is at hand, and she must seize it.
