It was later revealed that since assuming the office of Mayor of Hanhai City, Zhou Quanxiong had accepted bribes under various pretexts totaling RMB 200 million—his crimes were so severe and the scale of corruption so vast that they were truly staggering. He was immediately re-tried, his illicit gains confiscated and made public property, his mayoral position revoked, and his party membership terminated. Zhou Quanxiong received the sanctions he deserved—fully justified and self-inflicted. Meanwhile, Hu Xiaotian's Hubei Group, due to its bribery case, would face strict legal penalties. Additionally, through its efforts to influence Zhou Quanxiong, the group had secured favorable treatment, acted in self-interest at the expense of public interest, fabricated financial statements, exaggerated its achievements, and deceived consumers—culminating in orders for comprehensive reforms. Should the reforms fail, the group would be swiftly dissolved. This ruling dramatically shifted Hubei Group's fortunes, plunging it from its previously triumphant status into a period of decline. Furthermore, the judge whom Hu Xiaotian had bribed was also found guilty of accepting bribes, demoted from his provincial-level judicial position. Everything is now settled, and the path ahead in business has been cleared of obstacles. Since this public-interest ruling was live-broadcast nationwide via Hainai City's television channel, it has effectively served as a powerful promotional campaign for my premium apparel line, "Yu Cheng Shen." Comrade Deng, Chairman of the National Enterprise Reform Committee—a prominent national figure—personally endorsed our brand, which has sparked a nationwide enthusiasm for "Yu Cheng Shen" apparel. Negative news about Hubei Group has been pouring in, yet this has only enhanced the brand image of "Yu Cheng Shen." A nationwide surge in demand for my premium apparel has now taken hold. According to evaluation experts from the National Quality Supervision Bureau, a significant conclusion has been reached: the current apparel line is truly premium, particularly the design element featuring a beauty-enhancing jade—identified as a historically renowned and precious jade variety. On-site trials and testing confirm that this jade indeed contributes to improving one's appearance and facial radiance. Praise has poured in from all sides, further enhancing the "desire to become a god" brand image. Gao Liang leverages his wives' production, sales, and organized operations of the mobile 2-yuan stores, quickly gaining the favor of a wide range of women. He has also successively launched other series of clothing styles to meet diverse needs across age groups and genders. As a result, the 2-yuan store business has been revitalized—offering a balanced mix of premium and budget products, with a pleasant shopping environment, diverse and fresh designs. At the same time, these stores have embraced a strong sense of fashion. People know that today's 2-yuan stores still possess a unique charm—many people enjoy visiting them. In the U.S., 1-dollar stores are also popular, and many affluent individuals frequently make stops at 2-yuan stores. This demonstrates that 2-yuan stores are well-known, offer high-quality, affordable products, and provide a wide variety of choices that meet people's diverse needs. Therefore, both domestically and internationally, the popularity is thriving. Gao Liang opened the 2-yuan stores not solely for profit, but to attract attention. Popularity itself is a business opportunity. With the 2-yuan stores drawing strong foot traffic, they have become an excellent sales platform. The stores operate through mobile, truck-based sales, enabling them to reach any city, any bustling commercial district, pedestrian street, or business hub across China. This sales model not only attracts broad public interest but also significantly boosts sales of Yan Ruzhu's premium apparel. Gao Liang personally oversees the production of the "I Want to Become a God" premium clothing line at Yue Guang Bao He, working tirelessly to ensure continuous garment production. Zhang Yупing's 2-yuan mobile store platform has expanded steadily, forming a nationwide industrial chain that has made Yan Ruzhu's premium apparel sales flourish—so much so that demand consistently exceeds supply, with orders pouring in like snowflakes. The Yueguang treasure box production plant is operating at full capacity, producing day and night, while our Yi Wu Cheng Shen Real Estate Company is also diligently preparing affordable, high-quality goods priced at just 2 yuan. Capacity is being enhanced, as sales are booming. Under the direct leadership of Gao Liang, the Yi Wu Cheng Shen Group has shown vigorous growth and vitality. Gao Liang is particularly delighted—now he truly feels the comfort of being at home with millions of dollars at his disposal. Funds are flowing in steadily through the establishment of real estate ventures. Reputation and prestige are also rising with the continuous enhancement of the Yi Wu Cheng Shen brand. As for the ladies—ah, yes! I haven't visited Chen Yuting lately. Chen Yuting is a very pragmatic and capable female manager. Under her effective leadership, Jingdu City's Mengzhu Grand Hotel has flourished and is now thriving, ranking first among the five-star hotels in Jingdu City. Gao Liang is a hands-off manager who provides only broad guidance. The thriving success of Mengzhu Hotel clearly reflects Chen Yuting's excellent operational management—her ability to drive all hotel operations with energy and momentum. In line with current trends and embracing bold transformations, Chen Yuting has remembered and put Gao Liang's advice into action. Chen Yuting is a lifelong learner. Though she didn't get into university, she has grown into a self-reliant, confident, and independent woman, earning Gao Liang's recognition and appointment as General Manager. With Gao Liang's support, Chen Yuting enrolled in a part-time program at Kyoto University to study business management. At the same time, she continuously learns and improves through practical experience. Chen Yuting is an exceptionally efficient person—she handles various pressures well and consistently delivers outstanding performance in her core responsibilities. This time, Chen Yuting was invited by Gao Liang to come to Hanhai City. She would hand over the business operations at the Jingdu City Dream Zhu Hotel to a young female university student she had recently promoted from Jingdu, while she herself would focus fully on sourcing products for the two-yuan goods. Chen Yuting didn't understand. Having just returned from outside, windblown and weary, she naturally felt a bit tired. Oh well, she might as well take a bath. Chen Yuting walked toward the bathroom in the inner room. Honestly, she had only intended to do a simple bath and then return to her room to thoroughly rinse herself. As she entered the bathroom, a delicate fragrance greeted her. Chen Yuting particularly loved this scent—it instantly dispelled her fatigue. She hummed a tune, singing happily. That was a song, "Love That I Can't Put into Words": "Ooh ooh yeh yeh, love that I can't put into words. I don't know what to say. Ooh ooh, love that I can't put into words. Ooh ooh yeh yeh. (Our backup website: www.Zei8.com. Zei8 e-books) One day without seeing you, and it feels as if something's missing from my life. Ooh ooh, love that I can't put into words. Do you know how much I love you, yet you treat me so coldly? Please just quietly tell me—don't make me doubt or suspect. Ooh ooh yeh yeh, love that I can't put into words. I don't know what to say. Ooh ooh, love that I can't put into words..." As Chen Yuting was humming this song, she suddenly felt her body being gently held from behind by someone. She became startled and quickly tried to struggle free, but when she realized it was this familiar man, her efforts seemed so weak. "Husband, no—please let go of me!" Chen Yuting felt a surge of nervousness, yet she noticed that someone’s arms were embracing her tighter and tighter. A strong, masculine presence washed over her—she hadn’t experienced such close, intimate contact with a man in a long time. Now, she was willingly held and cradled by this outstanding man before her. In the mirror of the bathroom, Chen Yuting’s graceful features came into sharp focus—her high-lying, handsome, and elegant face stood out beautifully. The two of them complemented each other perfectly. Chen Yuting was becoming increasingly beautiful: her full, rounded breasts rose proudly, their peaks gleaming and lush, and the smooth, well-defined cleavage between them radiated a soft, refined elegance. High-light watched, and his nose warmed up. Oh, here it comes again—another nosebleed. The slightly fuller figure of the third lady, reminiscent of the Lady Li, only grew more appealing to High-light. As for Chen Yuting, she leaned gently against High-light, like a little bird resting comfortably on a sturdy tree.
