With the help of Kong Mingqing, Lin Jie completed the driver's license exam content from Subject 1 to Subject 4 within a week and received his driver's license this week.

During this period, Lin Jie needed to spend two to three hours daily to complete the study tasks set by Li Ting.

With the aid of Shen Lanruo's memories, Lin Jie learning high school knowledge was like viewing from a high vantage point. His degree of understanding and speed of acceptance surprised Li Ting.

Lin Jie would occasionally adjust his schedule to work out at Qingniao Fitness Center so that he could synchronize his gym time with Li Ting, facilitating her tutoring him while exercising.

Unexpectedly, Li Ting's mother, who took good care of him, was the fitness coach Zhou Xuehui, and her father Li Zhijian, the director of Qingniao Fitness Center, was a handsome uncle with perfect eight-pack abs.

Seeing their perfect figures looking like thirty-year-olds, Lin Jie finally understood why they wanted Li Ting to keep her identity secret. With Li Ting's barrel-like plumpness, she would indeed ruin the gym's reputation.

Now that the relationship was clarified, Zhou Xuehui and Li Zhijian expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Lin Jie.

Li Ting's physical condition had always been a source of worry for them, and now that the issue was thoroughly resolved, how could they not feel grateful?

Over the past week, An Kexin and Luo Shanshan, after several negotiations and discussions, finally reached a cooperation agreement. Weize Company, under the An Family, will be responsible for the one-stop supply of medical supplies needed by Zhujia Port Clinic.

"Wait, wait, wait... Xiao Linzi, look at Miaomiao, isn't she pretty?"

Lin Jie looked up at Lin Miao, who was pulled out of the room by Zhang Xiaoxiao, and immediately felt dazed. Is this still his ordinary, skinny sister?

Wearing a pink and blue dress with crystal high-heeled sandals, she appeared several centimeters taller, and her slightly slim figure gave Lin Miao an elegant and graceful appearance.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her facial features accentuated by light makeup appeared increasingly delicate.

She stood there quietly, like an orchid in a secluded valley, creating an ambiance of tranquility, purity, and gentle beauty.

"Miaomiao, you seem to have been magically transformed, turning from an ugly duckling into a white swan overnight!"

Lin Jie praised her, feeling a faint sourness in his heart. His sister had finally grown up into a beautiful woman!

"Go on, do you even know how to talk?"

Rolling her eyes at Lin Jie, Zhang Xiaoxiao said, "What ugly duckling! Our Miaomiao has always been a Cinderella, innately beautiful, just not dressed up previously!"

"You see, just a little makeup reveals the beauty hidden beneath her humble attire. Women should treat themselves well, Miaomiao don't save too much, spend what you need to spend."

Lin Miao chuckled, walked a few steps forward, and took Lin Jie's arm, saying, "Why should I dress up so prettily? I can't even see it; it's just a waste."

Her words cast a shadow over Lin Jie and Zhang Xiaoxiao's hearts.

Unaware, Lin Miao continued to smile and said, "Brother, Sister Xiaoxiao, let's hurry and set off. Today is the first day of the fashion store's opening, and we shouldn't be late as the owners."

After gathering their personal items, Zhang Xiaoxiao caught Lin Jie's arm to confirm, "Hey, Xiao Linzi, did you invite your friends to support us, as I said?"

"The people you associate with now are our fashion store's target customers."

Lin Jie replied with a helpless expression, "The invitations have been sent, both through WeChat and SMS. For those I can meet, I gave the invitations in person and handed out flyers."

"But, Sister Xiaoxiao, you have to understand that these people are busy, and my relationship with them is limited. Whether they come is beyond my control."

"Lin Jie, this is the time to test your character; don't disappoint me!" Zhang Xiaoxiao threatened solemnly.

The trio took a taxi to the Zhenhua Mall!

This was the first time Lin Jie and Lin Miao had come to the store. After looking around, Lin Jie felt the store's decoration was truly high-end and had international flair.

Lin Jie also saw the four salespersons Zhang Xiaoxiao hired. Although not particularly stunning in appearance, scoring only a little over seventy, their figures were excellent, perfect for showcasing clothes.

Lin Jie browsed some clothing prices and was secretly stunned.

While he felt their styles were quite nice, the pricing was seriously high, with nothing under a thousand, and even a random pair of summer casual shorts was priced at eleven hundred and eighty-eight.

Lin Jie's doubts were met with direct ridicule from Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"Lin Jie, you just don't understand. For our target customers, price isn't the main factor they consider. What influences their purchase decisions are brand recognition, clothing style, and shopping experience."

"You might not realize if I set the price too low, it would actually reduce our target customers' desire to buy."

What Zhang Xiaoxiao said, Lin Jie truly didn't understand.

At nine thirty, Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Jie, and Lin Miao held a small ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the official opening.

The first to arrive to celebrate were their close neighbors and friends, along with Zhang Xiaoxiao's few girlfriends, who joined forces or came individually to send several flower baskets.

They wanted to support the store's business, but after touring the shop and seeing the clothing prices, everyone's facial expressions became quite colorful.

Realizing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao directly addressed it, saying that the clothes in the store are international brands and not suitable for ordinary families for everyday casual wear. Friends and family can simply show support by being present.

This wave of people browsed around and left, with Lin Miao insisting on returning home with the neighbors.

After they left, Zhang Xiaoxiao vented, "I was just being polite, and they were indeed polite! No one really supported us. I'm so mad, I'm going to sever ties with those girlfriends!"

Unable to hold back his laughter, Lin Jie said, "For people with average incomes, spending a thousand or two on clothes for summer or autumn wear might be better spent on a winter coat or a suit for formal occasions."

"Brother Jie!"

A crisp voice drew the attention of Lin Jie, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and others, as two beauties, one big and one small, approached, accompanied by two men carrying a huge flower basket.

An Kexin, walking in front, smiled and said, "Wishing both of you thriving business and abundant wealth; may everything go well, and may money roll in daily!"

"Thank you for your support! Thank you! Please come in."

Hastily welcoming them inside, Zhang Xiaoxiao offered tea and refreshments.

Scanning the store's clothing, An Kexin nodded in approval, saying, "It truly lives up to the reputation of international brands. The styles are exceptionally novel! Kemeng, go pick out a few pieces you like, my treat."

Bouncing happily, An Kemeng went to select clothes accompanied by one of the salespersons.

An Kexin then took out a thick red envelope, handing it to Lin Jie, saying, "You insisted on not accepting the brokerage fee for the contract, but this is an opening gift, and you must take it."

The initial contract signed between An Kexin and Luo Shanshan was worth over a million!

When An Kexin offered Lin Jie the usual brokerage fee, he steadfastly refused, feeling it inappropriate to accept benefits as both parties were acquaintances and friends.

Seeing An Kexin indirectly give him the brokerage fee through this gift, Lin Jie reluctantly accepted with embarrassment.

"Lin Jie, there's a piece of news. I'm not sure if you've heard it."

An Kexin leaned closer to Lin Jie, lowered her voice slightly, and said, "The news is that Mr. Tan's surgery wasn't as successful as imagined. It was Dr. Hu's arrogance that caused Mr. Tan's postoperative aphasia."

"This postoperative damage could have been avoided."
