“It’s fine if there aren’t enough,” Jiang Luo said, half-laughing, half-exasperated. “Pan Xiao just called me, saying Haimen and the surrounding areas also need clothes. Lots of bosses are clamoring to place orders, so I should leave some stock in Haimen.”

Jiang Luo shook his head. “I’m starting to wonder if I’m pushing myself too hard. If I’d planned fewer designs from the start, we wouldn’t be struggling to produce so much.”

Mo Wanzhen smiled and said, “It still helps to have money.”

“When I first came to Guangzhou, renting a place, buying daily necessities—there’s just so much to spend money on.”

“At first it wasn’t easy, but luckily I know how to sell clothes, and my image isn’t bad either, so I quickly found work without much trouble.”

“There are a lot of people in Guangzhou, and many young people, all here to work. I’ve met many friends from all over the country.”

Jiang Luo also commented, “The styles are pretty good, really nice.”

They moved on to another shop. Inside, Mo Wanzhen pointed to a shirt hanging high up. “This spring, the best-selling item is this kind of shirt. All the stalls have them.”

Jiang Luo looked up.

The shop owner greeted them. “Take a look, feel free. Prices are negotiable. Buy in bulk, and you can get a discount.”

Huo Zongzhu nodded, admiration in his eyes. “You’re thinking exactly right.”

“No matter where you do business—in China or anywhere else in the world—local powers will resist outside forces.”

“You’re not running a small operation. You’ll attract attention.”

“If you don’t understand the local situation and rush in, you’ll definitely suffer losses.”

Jiang Luo nodded. “That’s why I originally chose to build the factory in Juxiang Town.”

As soon as they got in the car, Jiang Luo’s face lit up. “Let’s go, let’s go! Find a movie theater—I haven’t watched a movie in ages!”

Soon, he and Huo Zongzhu arrived at a cinema.

They found their seats in the theater, and Jiang Luo’s arm brushed against Huo Zongzhu’s as he rested it on the armrest.

Around them, young couples were scattered throughout the rows.

Huo Zongzhu didn’t say anything.

Once they stepped inside, Jiang Luo glanced around and was stunned.

The building they’d entered was a sewing workshop.

The factory was huge, with high ceilings and hanging lights. The space was divided into neat sections, each outfitted with industrial sewing machines—from straight-stitch to overlock machines and more.

This…?

Jiang Luo turned to Huo Zongzhu.So this is a clothing factory?

The place was completely empty. At least in this section of the factory, aside from them, there wasn’t a single person in sight—only the neatly arranged machines, sunlight streaming through the windows, and clean, bright green floors.

“I do want it—I never said I didn’t.”

Jiang Luo spoke, his mind fully present now, his words normal again. “I’m just… really surprised. You could’ve given me anything, but a whole factory? That nearly knocked me over.”

“It’s just… so shocking.”

Huo Zongzhu had been a little uneasy earlier, thinking Jiang Luo might not want the factory. Now hearing him, he relaxed and smiled. “Then that’s fine. If you want it, take it.”

Huo Zongzhu handed him a glass of milk, concern in his voice. “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

“Mm.”

Jiang Luo yawned again, taking a sip.

“What’s wrong? You drank so much last night, and now you still can’t sleep?”

Jiang Luo shook his head, feeling sleepy. “Who knows…”

He hadn’t eaten much. Propping his head up, his eyelids kept drooping while his gaze kept drifting toward Huo Zongzhu across the table.

“The really dark-skinned one? Wang Junqing?”

“Or the one who’s always chewing on a toothpick?”

Jiang Luo: “……”

He tapped Wang Chuang with the rolled-up papers again, utterly exasperated. “Neither of them!”

Wang Chuang made a sour face. “It has to be a guy?”

Jiang Luo: “I’m giving you a chance—ask a different question.”

Wang Chuang tried again, still frowning. “Which guy, exactly? Do I know him?”

Wang Chuang was thinking too, talking as he went: “Like, you could give him a plot of land you bought…”

Jiang Luo: “……”

Wang Chuang: “Or a construction team to help him build a house in Pudong?”

Jiang Luo: “……”

Wang Chuang: “Or… just give him a big company?”

Jiang Luo: “……”

He raised a hand toward the door. “You should probably just go.”

“Don’t.”

Wang Chuang: “I’m just trying to help you think.”

Wang Chuang went on with his usual comforting words, but Jiang Luo didn’t hear any of it. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t take it in.

His mind was full of one thing:I like Huo Zongzhu, and Huo Zongzhu doesn’t like me.

I like him, but he doesn’t like me.

Wang Chuang had work to do and had left at some point, leaving Jiang Luo alone.

“What’s wrong? You seem a little off today.”

Huo Zongzhu was actually trying to gauge Jiang Luo’s attitude, curious why he had come to his company twice to ask whether he liked men—or liked him.

“Nothing, just a bit tired.”

Jiang Luo walked further into the house.

Huo Zongzhu glanced at Jiang Luo’s figure, then back at the car.

Lao Si had just gotten out and was standing by the vehicle, shrugging and spreading his hands as if to say he knew nothing.

Seeing a man taking photos of a girl by the river, Jiang Luo asked Huo Zongzuo, who had brought a camera, to take some for him as well, and even had passersby snap a few shots of the two of them together.

He also dragged Huo Zongzuo along to browse the small shops lining the street, stopping to watch a stray cat curled up at a shop entrance.
