66: Chapter 66 Events of the Years (2)_1
“I know, I never treated this as child’s play, and I don’t play house.” Situ Xin’s voice dropped to a whisper on the last sentence, barely audible to herself.
“What did you say?” Lu Juan couldn’t quite catch the last part and asked.
“Nothing.
Auntie, take a look at these first, and then tell me whether you’d like to partner with me or not.” Situ Xin handed over the design sketches she had drawn in her free time to Lu Juan.
Situ Xin had already decided that if her aunt still refused to partner with her after seeing the sketches, she wouldn’t force it and would simply find someone else to collaborate with.
Lu Juan took the design sketches from Situ Xin’s hand and, while unfolding them, asked, “What are these?”
Although Lu Juan had no formal training in fashion design, she could understand the styles of the dresses on the sketches.
“Oh my, these dresses are beautiful.
Baby, who designed these?” Lu Juan asked with a look of surprise.
She was certain that if these design sketches were turned into garment pieces, they would cause a frenzy once put up for sale.
“Me.
What do you think, pretty, aren’t they?” Situ Xin was very confident in her own designs.
“They are beautiful.
What?
You drew these?” Lu Juan had not expected that such beautiful dress designs were drawn by Situ Xin.
“Yes, I did.
So, what do you think?
Do these designs make you think I’m still playing house?
Do you want to cooperate with me now?” Situ Xin looked at Lu Juan hopefully with her big eyes.

After seeing the designs, Lu Juan began to seriously consider the proposal.
She had managed Loo Jianxin’s company matters overseas.
After returning to the country, she was staying at home since the food factory was still under construction.
Moreover, she had considered not helping out at the factory and instead starting a business of her own, something she was interested in.
“Baby, let your auntie think about it, okay?
I’ll come to you with my decision later, alright?” Lu Juan was very tempted and wanted to agree to Situ Xin’s proposal on the spot.
But it was a big decision, and she needed to discuss it with her husband and seek his opinion.
That evening, Lu Juan discussed Situ Xin’s proposal with Loo Jianxin and even showed him Situ Xin’s design sketches.
But Loo Jianxin, being a man, didn’t study women’s clothing and casually remarked after seeing them, “Hmm, Baby’s drawing skills have improved a lot.” Nevertheless, he agreed to Lu Juan partnering with Situ Xin to start a garment factory.
He had his thoughts; he didn’t believe the venture was entirely Situ Xin’s doing.
He thought that it was Situ Xin’s master’s idea.
Since it was from Situ Xin’s master, he assumed it was a profitable industry and readily agreed.
And so, Situ Xin’s first business venture took off.
Originally, according to Situ Xin, she would provide all the funding while her aunt would manage the company.
This arrangement was one of financial investment and another of technical investment, splitting the shares evenly.
However, her aunt did not agree with taking half of the shares.
She felt she was taking advantage of Situ Xin, as apart from investing money, Situ Xin would also be responsible for the design sketches, which constituted a technical investment as well.
The two of them pushed back and forth over the shares until Loo Jianxin resolved the issue.
He had made a lot through stock trading, felt quite wealthy, and with a wave of his hand, allocated startup capital for his wife, thus settling the debate.
The garment company was named “Xin,” after Situ Xin’s own name.
Situ Xin had no objections.
Plus, after finalizing the deal with Lu Juan, she entrusted all operations to Lu Juan, and she only needed to submit the specified designs within the required timeframe.
Situ Xin and Lu Juan decided to target the mid-to-high-end clothing market, so they were extremely selective about fabrics and set uniform pricing standards.
After the “Xin” garment company’s opening, its first batch of clothing, once introduced to the market, sold out immediately.
It even sparked a “Xin” brand craze throughout Capital City.
Reflecting on the development of “Xin” Garment Company over the years, Situ Xin smiled.
But her smile soon faded.
Because of her age, her plan to develop her own power base had not progressed much over the years.
This urgency weighed on her; she feared her hidden enemies would strike again before she was fully prepared.
“Thank goodness, the space upgraded again recently.” Situ Xin thought of her discovery in the space a few days ago, and her mood instantly brightened.
This space upgraded alongside the increase in Situ Xin’s cultivation level.
Indeed, there had been another upgrade during these four years, apart from the most recent one.
In that intermediate upgrade, everything in the space, excluding the villa, had doubled in size.
After the upgrade, Situ Xin began to periodically gather various vegetable seeds from outside and bring them into the space.
She planted all kinds of vegetable seeds in the space’s soil and, upon maturity, secretly swapped the vegetables from her home with those from the space.
Since then, the vegetables at home became much more popular.
Even Situ Jin, who always disliked vegetables, couldn’t get enough of the space’s produce.
Of course, the family didn’t know about Situ Xin’s machinations; they thought Old Madam Situ had just bought high-quality vegetables.
The recent space upgrade that delighted Situ Xin resulted in a noticeable change: a bungalow appeared next to the villa.
When Situ Xin first entered the bungalow, she was amazed by what was inside.
The bungalow contained a laboratory, and not just any ordinary lab.
The facilities were complete and state-of-the-art, capable of producing anything from airplanes to tanks.
What excited Situ Xin even more was a warehouse next to the lab.
It was filled with various materials, which she inspected closely and found to be top-notch.
In other words, Situ Xin could use the lab to create any advanced equipment she wanted, as long as she knew how to make it.
