"Very important,"

Xu Fan's response was without hesitation.

He would rather lose the opportunity to cooperate with Li Qinghe than make any concession. Apparently, the main reason was that the jewelry was designed for that girl.

Li Qinghe had indeed heard about that party from others, but she didn't expect their relationship to be so good.

For a moment, Li Qinghe actually felt somewhat envious of that girl she had never met.

Looking at Xu Fan, not knowing what she was thinking, she suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I was just joking just now."

"Xu Fan, I can be your spokesperson, but remember, you owe me a favor."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Li Qinghe readily agreed. Xu Fan wanted to discuss remuneration with her, but she told him directly that the lowest remuneration would suffice.

It seemed that what she valued most about cooperating with him wasn't the money, but the favor she was owed...

Li Qinghe wasn't shameless like Chen Bi, Xu Fan was relieved, he gave her Xia Xiaodie's contact details, and planned to let the two discuss the endorsement deal.

After leaving Li Qinghe's house, it wasn't long before he received an urgent call from Xia Xiaodie.

"Xu Fan, I... I might have encountered a scammer..."

Over the phone, Xia Xiaodie told him that Li Qinghe herself had called her about a collaboration.

Having just parted ways with Xu Fan, Xia Xiaodie hadn't expected this to be his doing.

For such incredibly good news, she wasn't particularly trusting.

A big star like Li Qinghe, several times bigger than Chen Bi, looking for her out of the blue, just didn't seem realistic.

Not to mention, the price she offered was several times lower than Chen Bi's.

She just felt like it was a pie falling from the sky.

Listening to Xia Xiaodie pointing out various suspicions over the phone, Xu Fan felt like laughing.

It was understandable that she would find it unscientific.

After all, she didn't know the reason behind it.

"Alright, Xiaodie, whether it's a scammer or not, you've got to try, right? Maybe Li Qinghe really sees potential in you,"

Xu Fan said to Xia Xiaodie on the phone. He did not plan to intervene, firstly for Li Qinghe's sake and secondly, he hoped Xia Xiaodie would grow quickly.

She didn't disappoint, securing Li Qinghe as a jewelry spokesperson almost perfectly.

Whether his involvement played a part in this was unknown.

He had already sent the jewelry designs to Xiao Lan, who always prioritized her tasks, and this time was no exception.

In less than a month, the first batch of products was released. Not only that, but she also sent a batch of Jinling's hot-selling jewelry styles to Shanghai without reservation.

These styles weren't comparable to Gelangqiao's designs but perfectly fulfilled the lower-end demands.

After all, not everyone could afford jewelry starting at millions.

Everything was ready, and next, it was time to start the jewelry business.

The jewelry store's name, which Xia Xiaodie had kept secret until now, was also finally revealed.

XD, to be honest, with Xu Fan's level of appreciation, he didn't quite understand what was so good about this name.

Two simple letters that were easy to forget, but Xia Xiaodie insisted on using this name.

In her words, the name wasn't important, liking it was all that mattered. As long as one could become famous, even the simplest of names would be firmly etched in people's hearts.

Han Dongxu had helped himself take over four store fronts, not too many, yet not too few either.

A few days ago, Li Qinghe had just finished filming a promotional jewelry advertisement for 'XD', and the news was still held in the hands of Xia Xiaodie and hadn't been made public yet. Therefore, the opening of the main store in Xujiahui didn't attract much attention.

Only the flower baskets filled at the storefront managed to lure some customers inside to look around.

Most of these flower baskets were sent from Jinling, aside from the gestures from the Lingyan Pavilion crew, the most special one was definitely the basket Xia Yanyu had specifically sent over.

Although residing in Jinling, Xia Yanyu thought of her sister almost every night and couldn't bear the thought of her enduring those endless days and nights for the past four years. Xu Fan had shared the news with her.

Over the phone, Xia Yanyu, hearing the news, was very happy and had even meticulously prepared this opening blessing.

She had specifically instructed her staff to place this flower basket in the most prominent spot, hoping Xiaodie would see it.

Xiaodie indeed saw it, but she neither said nor did anything.

It was roughly around ten in the morning, and since the opening, more than an hour had already passed.

As more customers started to stream into the store, fortunately, the staff were competent enough not to add too much pressure on Xia Xiaodie.

"Big boss, are you just going to watch?"

Seeing Xu Fan doing nothing at the door, Xia Xiaodie walked over and couldn't help but pinch him.

"Well, isn't the lady boss looking after everything? Why should I bother?"

"Hmph."

Hearing the term 'lady boss', Xia Xiaodie couldn't help but blush a little.

Until now, everyone had been calling her 'lady boss,' and she indeed felt a bit embarrassed.

"Hmm? Xu Fan, is that your friend?"

At that moment, looking outside the store, Xia Xiaodie saw a group of people carrying several flower baskets and walking over, which made her ask.

"Hmm, more?"

From the beginning until now, the flower baskets sent from Jinling hadn't stopped, and Xu Fan was standing at the door just to sign for them.

He had only just had a brief respite.

Hearing Xia Xiaodie say this, he followed her gaze towards the shop's exterior and squinted his eyes when he saw the newcomers.

"Xiaodie, these people are not any friends."

Through the people carrying the flower baskets, it was distinct that the crowd behind was led by Ke Longxiang and his group.

The Green Rakshasa, who had not received notices until now, had also followed along, accompanied by Li Xiaochen.

It seems the photos spread by the bar owner previously had worked, judging from the Green Rakshasa's current expression compared to Li Xiaochen's eyes that almost wanted to kill him.

"They really are in cahoots."

Scanning around, sure enough, besides Ke Longxiang's group, Xu Fan discovered another person who he felt should be there.

Zhou Zidong.

It was clear that it had been Zhou Zidong who notified Ke Longxiang about the opening of his jewelry business.

As for the female companion Zhou Zidong had brought along, that was even more interesting.

"No wonder, so she was part of their group."
