Zhang Qing saw how well Chen Haoxuan's designs were selling, so he decided to approach Chen Haoxuan for merchandise. Chen Haoxuan asked Jiang Xianghan if she could spare some stock for Zhang Qing to sell online. As a result, Jiang Xianghan personally went to Zhang Qing's residence and threatened him, saying that if he dared to compete with her for business, she would stay at his home indefinitely.
Zhang Qing hesitated; he was genuinely worried about Jiang Xianghan lingering at his place because he was currently dating a university student. If Jiang Xianghan ruined that relationship, where would he find a girlfriend?
If Zhang Qing were to ask Chen Haoxuan what to do, Chen Haoxuan would surely say that if it were him, he would choose to oppose her. After all, if Jiang Xianghan, the wealthy woman, insisted on staying at his home, why not let her have her way?
Zhang Qing ended up losing both his opportunity and his resources due to his momentary greed, creating a formidable enemy in Jiang Xianghan. She believed Zhang Qing when he suggested that selling Chen Haoxuan's designs online would be more profitable. Consequently, she asked Chen Haoxuan to help her set up an online store on the Qianfo Stone Pagoda Website to sell the clothes from her shop.
Zhang Qing had been selling various items online, including clothing sourced from Jiang Xianghan. Now that she was competing with him for clothing sales, how could he possibly win? Thus, Zhang Qing canceled his clothing sales. Once Jiang Xianghan's online store opened, business boomed because she had two sets of Chen Haoxuan's designs—one for men and one for women. Although they weren't couple outfits, they were better than couple outfits. She priced them at thirty thousand for the two sets but required buyers to win a lottery.
Here's how it worked: when you bought clothes from Jiang Xianghan's online store, your purchase number would be recorded. After a week, she would host a live stream at the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda where she would place several ping pong balls in a glass tank, close her eyes, mix them up, and randomly pick one. The number on the selected ping pong ball would determine which buyer won the chance to purchase Chen Haoxuan's designs.
Jiang Xianghan likely didn't have this kind of business acumen; if she did, her Clothing Store would have already expanded throughout China. This idea came from Chen Haoxuan, who referred to it as marketing hype and used his reputation to boost Jiang Xianghan's online store.
Jiang Xianghan realized Chen Haoxuan's business savvy; the ideas he provided allowed her to sell more clothes in one day than she typically sold in a month. She decided that in the future, whenever she wanted to develop other businesses, she would first consult this business genius.
Chen Family Village became lively as nearly a hundred new people arrived in the village. After work hours, many gathered outside Chen Haoxuan's home to chat.
Those working at Chen Haoxuan's Clothing Factory liked him very much; however, those who did not work there were less fond of him. These individuals were from Chen Family Village and felt resentment towards him for hiring people from other villages while neglecting their own community. Their grievances grew stronger, leading them to speak ill of Chen Haoxuan.
They claimed that Chen Haoxuan looked down on the people of Chen Family Village and accused him of being heartless by allowing outsiders to profit while denying them opportunities. Some even suggested that he was deliberately trying to provoke them. Among those spreading rumors was Li Dansong, who previously fought with several villagers over Chen Haoxuan's decision to limit poultry farming. Holding onto his grudge, he saw many women expressing dissatisfaction with Chen Haoxuan and fanned their anger further.
Chen Haoxuan was aware of the gossip circulating in Chen Family Village. The more the villagers acted this way, the less inclined he felt to help them prosper because they only thought of themselves and never considered others. Meanwhile, Jiang Xianghan called several times each day asking for stock; he simply didn't have time to teach the women of Chen Family Village how to make clothes!
Moreover, Chen Haoxuan has no close ties with them, so why should he treat them so well? If the people from Chen Family Village push Chen Haoxuan too hard, he would simply move to New City. The reason he hasn't left this place is that he enjoys the scenery here. Additionally, he used to want to provoke his family, but now they are all afraid of him, so it no longer matters whether he lives in Chen Family Village.
"Chang Juan, did you hear what Seductive said? Seductive mentioned that there are many people in the Clothing Factory who don't know how to make clothes." Two women were chatting outside Chen Haoxuan's door.
"I heard that too! Sigh... we can only blame our bad luck. Unlike them, who can get by without knowing anything and earn over ten thousand a month. If I could get in there, I could build a house in just a year," one woman said enviously.
"This Chen Haoxuan, I really doubt he's from Chen Family Village. We're all from the same hometown; since he's hiring people anyway, why doesn't he hire us?" one of the women remarked. If Chen Haoxuan had heard this, he would have said, "We're all from the same hometown; why didn't you help me when I was suffering?"
Chen Haoxuan might have been hurt too many times; seeing so many villagers speak ill of him didn't make him particularly angry. On the contrary, Li Ping was very angry. Chen Haoxuan was her future son-in-law, and now someone was speaking badly about him—how could she not be upset? Because of this, she cut ties with several women.
Most people's nature is like this: when you have no money, others look down on you. When you have money, they become envious and think about why that money isn't theirs. Their jealousy grows so strong that they begin to hate you. Whenever there's an opportunity, they will try to harm you. Just like now with Chen Haoxuan; among the many women in Chen Family Village, only a few know how to make clothes while others from different villages have found plenty of work. As a result, those women who resent Chen Haoxuan use this as a reason to attack him.
On the morning of September 17th, Li Ping angrily went to find Chen Haoxuan. She rushed into his villa and saw him in the living room. She furiously said to him, "Xuan, those people in the village are really too much! Since you didn't hire them at the Clothing Factory, they keep talking bad about you outside..."
Chen Haoxuan smiled lightly and replied, "You can go to my secretary for some clothing design sketches and some fabric. Once you have them, give the sketches and fabric to those villagers. Tell them that if they can produce clothes that meet the standards, they can apply for jobs next time we hire. If they can't do it, then I'm sorry; I won't support useless people."
