Chapter 760: Your Son Isn't Blind
During the whole time they were apart from the little bun, Yan Ruyi had restrained herself from seeing Little Treasure out of guilt while Father Jeon was waiting with an attitude of "I don't care, I want to see what you will turn Little Treasure into".
At last, they never expected that Little Treasure would turn out much better than they had imagined. They could obviously see that the Little Treasure had regained some chubbiness and his energy had returned. They were most worried about whether he would not fit in or would be bullied by other kids in school for not speaking as that would cause him to even more withdrawn. However, that turned out to be fine.
The both of them were so immersed in the joy of Little Treasure fitting into school life, thus they had forgotten all about the serious business with Jungkook.
After the father and son had left, Yan Ruyi could not help but exclaim, "The two of them have already progressed to such a stage. What can we do now? How about I just look for Lisa directly?"
"That is a weak plan. You know your own son's personality. To mess with that girl is the last resort. The best plan is to get your son to change his own mind!"
"Then, do we just watch and do nothing? Initially, I thought this girl would understand! Who'd have known I still judged her wrongly!? If she wasn't really going after anything...why would she still progress with Jungkook to this stage?"
"What are you panicking about? It's just a dating relationship. How secure do you think such a relationship would be? Maybe after they've gotten together, the honeymoon stage will pass and they will break up by themselves. Besides, Mina is back and your son isn't blind. Would he not know how to choose?" Father Jeon revealed a rare smile and looked relaxed.
"Right...Mina ! There's still Mina! Look how silly I am being!"
Yan Ruyi felt instantly calmer and she rejoiced. "It's a good thing Mina is back in time! That child, I have watched her grown up. There were so many little girls in the circle, but she was still the more excellent one, compatible with our Jungkook in every sense. If it wasn't because her family had suddenly moved away seven years ago, the two of them could have been together by now and I wouldn't have to worry so much! Whatever it is, after all the birth chart and fate evaluations, organizing blind dates cannot compare to those we know through and through!"
"This is the rationale. Besides, they're both not married, so it is still not too late now. We don't have to do anything as long as we just help the two of them create some opportunities..."
"Let's invite the Guans for a dinner on Sunday night! As the man's family, we should take more initiative. At the same time, we could ask if their family is interested!" Yan Ruyi immediately suggested.
"No need to ask, Guan already called me much earlier. Based on his tone, he definitely has the same thought as we do," Father Jeon sounded delighted.
Yan Ruyi beamed with satisfaction. "That's great! Then, I will call Jungkook now!"
"Mmm."
Yan Ruyi swiftly made a call to her son. "Hello, Jungkook!"
"Mother, did something happen?"
"I forgot to tell you today, your Uncle Guan and his family has returned, did you know?"
"Mmm."
"Go make reservations at a suitable restaurant and find a suitable time to invite them to dinner to welcome them home," Yan Ruyi tried her best to speak levelly.
"Okay."
Yan Ruyi hung up and Father Jeon quickly asked her nervously, "How did it go?"
"Our son said okay! He agreed!" Yan Ruyi was very excited.
Father Jeon looked smugly at her as if he had predicted this. "See? I told you!"
"Haih, if this is successful, then it will take a huge load off of my mind..."

Chapter 761: An Unexpected Harvest
At the same time, in Spirit Studio.
On the sofa, Lisa was skimming through the studio's monthly accounts, looking solemn.
Three hundred thousand dollars of her capital had been depleted by half and the studio was still not profiting.
Gong Shangze felt he was to blame. "I'm sorry, Boss. I'm not good at marketing..."
Even though they had won a very prestigious award, the current market seemed to be entirely taken over by History. Plus, History was secretly blocking their orders. Lisa was obviously aware of this fact.
After all, a fashion studio was not only about designs; they could not miss out on the elements of development, design, production, and sales.
"Based on our studio's current situation, even though there is a positive correlation between small self-operating boutique models and profit margins, the investment is too huge and the need for human resources was high too, so it was obviously not very suitable for us," pondered Lisa.
Gong Shangze nodded in agreement. "Yes, what is most suitable for us now is still the model of selling on commissions and the most important pre-requisite of this model is that our brand must have enough persuasion power and a good reputation!"
Or else, who would choose their Spirit Studio brand for commissioned distribution?
Before this, they had taken the key steps to prove their capability. Now, what they needed to do was to exhibit that capability to attract agents.
"So, now what we need the most is a prominent figure to advertise our brand...sigh, sadly, now I'm not very famous, or else we could save so much on advertising fees. Shangze, do you have a suitable candidate?" Lisa sighed.
For example, how did the clothes in ancient times trend? It was when a certain concubine or even the queen in the palace wore a certain material or style of apparel at a national country's banquet and amazed everyone. It would then start to quickly pick up in popularity among the dignitaries all the way to the commoners...
This was called star power.
Gong Shangze hesitated to say a name: "Qin Shengyue."
"Qin Shengyue..." Lisa mumbled to herself. She knew who Gong Shangze was talking about. As one of Imperial's most influential socialites, she had multiple roles as a model, a famous blogger, a publisher, and a fashion retailer. She had a column in country M's most prestigious fashion magazine "FA" and she was a household name in the fashion industry. It would not be wrong to call her the indicator needle of fashion.
If they could get her to like their clothing and let her wear Spirit's apparel for the upcoming fashion week...that effect would definitely be better than any celebrity advertising for them.
Most importantly, Spirit was a high-end brand, so their starting point definitely had to be cool. If the brand had taken off with smaller celebrities or even gone viral on the Internet, it would be hard to raise the ranking of the brand later on. This step was vital.
"What we can think of would naturally be something others can think of too. There will definitely be many people looking for her this time and I have tried to contact her previously, even personally going over to her office, but I couldn't even meet her..." Gong Shangze said this looking helplessly at his boss.
"Don't rush. You focus on your designing, I'll come up with something. If we really can't take this route with Qin Shengyue, then we'll just think of something else."
After she left Spirit Studio, Lisa started her car and was prepared to make a trip to the company herself.
There were indeed many people waiting to meet Qin Shengyue. Lisa waited from evening till late at night, while everyone who waited around had slowly lost patience and left. At last, she was left alone but she still did not see Qin Shengyue.
Initially, she had refused to not give up and wanted to try her luck but rationally, not meeting her was within expectations, so Lisa was prepared to go home.
At the car park, after she got into her car, she was just prepared to start her engine when she had an unexpected harvest...

Chapter 762: I Would Even Wear A Gunny Sack
She was sitting in her car when she spotted a man and a woman arguing not too far away.
The woman was very tall. She had short hair with a sharp cut and she wore wide-legged pants with a large coat. She had phoenix eyes, a tall nose, defined facial features, and an extremely good figure. It was the person she had been waiting for, Qin Shengyue.
As for the handsome man donning a grey tuxedo opposite her, it looked a bit like her husband...
The two of them were yelling very loudly, so Lisa could hear everything clearly from inside her car.
"Yan Junhao! God damn it, are you crazy?! You want to divorce me for a prostitute?!" Qin Shengyue glared at the man across her in disbelief.
The man looked horrified. "Shengyue, I have told you many times. Xiao Rou is not a prostitute, she's a very nice and clean girl, so please stop insulting her!"
"You're saying that I can't even compare to a girl who busks in a bar? Why? I need to know the reason! Give me a reason!"
"Shengyue, without me, you can continue your comfortable life...but she's not the same...she only has me...she needs me more than you do!"
"Hah! This is too funny, you're telling me that because I'm too strong and can care for myself, so I deserve to be ditched?"
...
Inside the car, Lisa was tongue-tied. Indeed, in this case, the late bird gets the worm!
Who knew that she would unexpectedly learn such a huge piece of gossip? No wonder Qin Shengyue did not want to meet anyone. She had marriage issues!
This...could be a very good breakthrough...
The two fought for a while before separating unhappily. The man closed the car door and drove off without looking back.
Qin Shengyue who had still been arrogantly scolding the man instantly slumped onto the floor after he left. She looked vulnerable and wailed to herself. Long gone was the vigor from before.
Lisa quietly got down the car and walked to Qin Shengyue. "Um, I'm so sorry, Miss Qing. I have to disturb you for a bit...I'm from Spirit Studio..."
"Get lost!" Qin Shengyue immediately scolded. Obviously, she did not want to be disturbed.
Lisa skipped the bullshit and immediately said, "Miss Qing, if I can help you get your husband to change his mind, could you wear our studio's apparel in the upcoming fashion week?"
Qin Shengyue laughed bitterly. "Hah! You can make my husband change his mind? If you can...don't talk about clothes...even if you want me to wear a gunny sack, I would..."
"Miss Qing, I'm serious. As long as you let me know the concrete situation of that woman and the details of how she knows your husband, give me three days and I can guarantee that your husband will be crying his way back to you while hitting his mouth to beg for your forgiveness!"
Qin Shengyue was in the pits at that moment. She did not want to hear any more crap from this woman who had randomly appeared. However, after scolding her earlier, she changed her mind based on Lisa's words...
Let Yan Junhao cry his way back to her while hitting his mouth and begging for her forgiveness? This was something she had dreamed of!
But, pfft, this was impossible...impossible...
Lisa watched as Qin Shengyue waver. Then, she ran off to get the pack of beer from her car boot, "I have beer, want some?"
Qin Shengyue looked at her, then got into the car.
For the beer.
Or rather, what she needed more than the beer at this moment was someone to talk to...
