"Low profits aren't the only issue—there's also risk! Many two-yuan stores have lost their luster. Even well-known two-yuan stores are struggling to survive under the current economic conditions. You, however, have persistently pursued a two-yuan strategy—what a joke! Your strategic vision is truly laughable!" Zhou Quanxiong, Mayor of Hanhai City, directly reported to the acting governor: "Our current focus at Yu Xing Cheng Shen Group is on building a small goods economy. It appears that the true backbone of our city is now the Hubei Group. Only Hubei Group stands as our leading enterprise!" The acting governor sighed and said: "It seems that Yu Xing Cheng Shen has now entered its twilight years. With Hubei Group now dominating, let us allow them to thrive and grow strong." These words precisely were what Mayor Zhou Quanxiong had hoped to hear. Hah! Gao Liang, Gao Liang! You're truly a fool. Why not focus on producing your premium silk-wool thermal underwear, instead opting to manufacture two-yuan products? But don't blame me—this is all your own doing. Thus, it was only natural that the government resources and various incentives in Hanhai City gradually converged toward Hubei Group. Hubei Group, equipped with government-provided loans, fully committed itself to investing in summer apparel. In contrast, my Yucheng Realities Company received relatively few government incentives and achieved its success entirely through self-reliance and collective efforts. The seemingly simple 2-yuan store product line initially masked many people's awareness, and Highlight naturally had his own intentions. Through the concerted efforts of all involved—unified coordination, collaborative planning—the premium summer fashion line produced within the Yueguang Treasure Box space finally came into full view. The Yanchu Yu Premium Apparel line features eight major series, each with 32 styles, totaling 256 distinct styles, covering the needs of all age groups and both genders, as well as meeting international demands. Our products not only meet the needs of domestic consumers but also cater to international customers. Gaoliang made excellent use of the 10 tons of fine jade, incorporating a distinctive, nourishing jade element into each piece of attire. Thanks to Gaoliang's ability to infuse the garments with spiritual energy, these garments are fully realized in their intended functions. The specific functions, however, remain undisclosed at this time. At every major fashion retail outlet, whenever HuaBao Group launches a strong campaign, Hualiang's Summer Elegance Collection stands directly across from them. While the storefront and interior design may not match HuaBao Group's scale and grandeur, Hualiang is clear that these are merely objective factors—what truly matters are human elements. The three pillars of timing, location, and human resources, with human resources being the most crucial. Hualiang ensures every staff member wears attractive summer attire, turning each one into a living advertisement. Chen Yuting deploys top female sales representatives trained at Kyoto City Dream Zhu Hotel—beautiful female students from Kyoto University—on-site. During the on-site launch event, the venue is packed with attendees. HuaBao Group's summer collection immediately captures customers' attention, and many express a strong desire to purchase. People seem to have completely forgotten about my brand, "Wuyu Cheng Shen." Yet Hualiang remains confident and composed. When the beautiful women from Kyoto University were rebranded and presented with a fresh look, the Tiger-Boar Group hired high-end models to walk the runway, creating an asymmetric competition between the two factions. As the models from the Tiger-Boar Group received enthusiastic applause, the beautiful women from Kyoto University took their turn to perform. Their performances were outstanding, and under the skillful presentation, the 256 styles across eight series shone with vibrant appeal. At that moment, the stage lights suddenly went out. "Power outage!" many people sighed. The stage plunged into darkness. Suddenly, someone in the audience cried out, "Look! Look over here!" The crowd turned to see that the garments worn by the women were emitting a soft blue glow, resembling fairy princesses from the celestial terrace. With the weather extremely hot, and the air conditioning now off due to the power failure, people were sweating profusely. "It's so hot!" someone in the back of the stage, a stout man, exclaimed. Yet, a contrasting voice rang out: "Oh, what a refreshing cool! Hurry! This place is so refreshing!" "Where it's cool, let's go there!" everyone wished. They all surged toward the stage. On stage, many garments shimmered brilliantly; whenever anyone picked one up at random, their hands instantly grew cool, and they couldn't help but put it on, exclaiming with delight. "Ah! So cool! So crisp! Truly refreshing!" many girls gasped in wonder. In contrast, someone from the Hú Bào Group—whose attire was merely decorative—found themselves uncomfortably hot when wearing it. Hú Xiào Tiān had believed himself clever, having hired internationally renowned fashion designers to enhance the visual appeal of his garments in hopes of outshining our group's offerings, yet he had overlooked the fundamental principle of practicality. In this scorching summer, if the clothing fails to provide a sense of coolness, how valuable can its beauty be? And what of Gāo Liàng? Then, together with Wang Lixin, they developed a new type of clothing that emphasized both aesthetic appeal and practicality. With the luminous jade—full of spiritual vitality—embedded into the premium garments of Yan Ruzhu, a refreshing sensation was conveyed. Everyone knows that jade helps maintain youthful beauty and, under the infusion of Gao Liang's spiritual energy, emits a special glow—nightlight—similar to that of the Yu Gong jade. This glow also brings a sense of coolness. Why does this coolness arise? On one hand, the batch of fine jades brought back by Gao Liang from the Qin Dynasty not only boasts superior quality but also possesses a unique quality: an exceptionally refreshing feel. Gao Liang drew inspiration from the word "Xuebi" (meaning "soda water"), thereby highlighting the signature appeal of Yan Ruzhu's premium garments. The on-site journalists also tried the garments and expressed their admiration. At this moment, the stage lights returned to normal. Once again, someone among the audience exclaimed, "What a wonderful achievement! Truly magical! Truly magical!" What was it? Originally, after the night-light effect of Yan Ruzhu's premium apparel became visible in the dark, the garments absorbed external light and created a magical phenomenon: the wearer appeared more graceful and refined. Especially women who cherished beauty radiated a vibrant energy throughout their bodies. Their skin shone with a luminous, smooth glow, and their faces took on a more delicate, charming appearance—indeed, "a person is shaped by their clothing, and an object is perfected by its presentation." This was true. Anyone who wore Yan Ruzhu's premium apparel would feel younger and more beautiful, gaining confidence and an elegant demeanor. "I'm buying! I'm buying!" the audience members, now aware of the garment's magic, immediately exclaimed. In contrast, Hu Bao's summer clothing, which had been promoted for a full month, received no interest at all. Lao Zi had to watch in dismay—having invested so heavily, it had gone completely unnoticed. Hu Xiaotian would not accept this reality. No, he would not stand by. His rival for divine status was no mere competitor; he knew he had to employ decisive measures. Thus, with a determined resolve, a sinister plot formed in his mind. Hu Xiao Tian immediately reported the situation to Zhou Quanxiong, who, having received a substantial fee, promptly acted on behalf of the client. He then called upon several so-called "law enforcement departments" to seize the product, which lacked an operating license. At this moment, representatives from Sprite had already sensed the impending move and sent an early warning, giving Gao Liang a clear sense of direction. Zhou Quanxiong, you've seen your son Zhou Chao fall at my feet—now you're convinced. How much more so, then, will you, an old hand at maneuvering, be able to outwit me? I have now become a god—my momentum is unstoppable; anyone who stands in my way shall perish! Gao Liang clenched his massive, diamond-like fist. Though the situation was now extremely urgent, Gao Liang remained calm and composed. He simply said to everyone, "These garments are merely samples. Honestly, I haven't even officially launched full-scale production yet!" This left the enthusiastic audience stunned, all of them expressing urgency: "Then, when will we be able to purchase these garments?"
