Chapter 87 Revisiting Shen Mei

Shen Wancheng accepted all the tonics that Gu Jinxing sent.

When I got home, Shen Yao hadn't returned yet.

Shen Wancheng called the Lan family and was relieved to learn that Shen Yao was already on her way back.

Shen Wancheng has been leaving early and returning late these past few days, but today, after taking a shower, it was only a little past seven in the evening.

Although she had changed her night owl habit after coming to this era, seven o'clock was still too early for her to fall asleep.

Fortunately, my current place has a TV, so I don't have to just sit there doing nothing.

Coincidentally, this world also has TVB, a name familiar to the Hong Kong entertainment industry in a past life.

However, Shen Wancheng had never heard of any of the popular TVB dramas airing at the time.

Shen Wancheng recalled that the series "Shanghai Bund," which was considered a classic by everyone, was broadcast in 1980.

It is a pity that the world no longer has this classic work.

Shen Wancheng certainly has a good memory, but she only remembers some classic scenes.

Perhaps when she has enough funds in the future, she can find a talented screenwriter, tell the screenwriter the general plot of "Shanghai Bund," and then she can become the producer and film this classic TV series.

Besides "Shanghai Bund", there are also "The Legend of the White Snake", "Wind and Cloud", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and so on.

If these classic TV series didn't exist in the world, wouldn't that be a regret?

Although Shen Wancheng never intended to enter the entertainment industry as an actress, she was willing to work as a producer and investor.

However, these ideas all require sufficient funding, and Shen Wancheng currently only has ten million yuan.

What would be a huge sum of money for an ordinary person is nothing to Shen Wancheng.

Thinking this way, Shen Wancheng felt even more strongly that making money was the most important thing.

Shen Wancheng has already made up her mind regarding Ms. Lan.

Once Ms. Lan wins the competition, she will take advantage of Ms. Lan's fame to launch her own brand.

Shen Wancheng wants to go for the high-end route; her clothes, whether custom-made or not, must be entirely handmade.

Ms. Lan definitely can't handle it all by herself, so Shen Wancheng plans to have Ms. Lan gather her apprentices who are of good character and have them work for her.

With Shen Wancheng offering high salaries and having Ms. Lan as her mentor, Shen Wancheng wasn't worried that these people wouldn't be tempted.

Therefore, the core issue regarding clothing has already been resolved ahead of schedule.

Aside from jewelry and other luxury goods, there's a saying that sums it up: men's watches and women's handbags.

In later generations, most expensive bags were made of leather, and luxury goods salespeople would always say that they were made in Italy by hand and were made of genuine leather.

Therefore, even if Shen Wancheng wanted to produce bags in Hong Kong, they would only be second-rate products, unable to produce the top-quality goods that are admired overseas.

Of course, Shen Wancheng also considered incorporating traditional weaving and embroidery techniques, but this is not something that can be done overnight; it is something that needs to be done after the company has developed.

Watches were different. As far as Shen Wancheng knew, at that time, watch factories in Hong Kong were OEM manufacturers for major overseas brands.

Shen Wancheng plans to start with high-end watches and ordinary leather bags and handbags.

However, Shen Wancheng couldn't possibly do all of these plans herself; she would be too busy to keep up.

So Shen Wancheng's first step should be what she talked about with Gu Jinxing in the afternoon—recruiting people.

Recruit core members for your own startup team.

When Shen Wancheng thought about hiring, the first person she thought of was Li Su, the manager of the prize redemption office at Benyang Horse Racing Station, whom she had taken a liking to from their first meeting.

Just as Shen Wancheng was thinking, Gu Jinxing called.

Coincidentally, Gu Jinxing was also going to tell Shen Wancheng about the resume of Li Su that he had investigated.

To Shen Wancheng's surprise, Li Su had studied financial management in college.

It perfectly meets Shen Wancheng's current needs.

Shen Wancheng plans to go to Benyang Horse Ranch to find Li Su tomorrow.

Shen Wancheng appeared to be watching TV, but her mind was already far away.

When Shen Yao returned, she called for Shen Wancheng, but Shen Wancheng did not respond.

Shen Wancheng only snapped out of her daze after she waved her hand in front of her a few times.

"Sis, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

"Nothing much. I just plan to go to Benyang Horse Ranch tomorrow."

Shen Yao blinked twice.

"The horse farm is such a dangerous place, do you need me to come with you?"

Shen Wancheng glanced at Shen Yao.

"With Cora here, everything's fine."

“I haven’t been to the horse farm for a few days, I should go and take a look.”

"It's okay if you don't go for a few days. I believe you'll pass the next jockey test. If you're really not confident, you can review the theory at home in the evenings."

Shen Yao was discouraged.

"Embroidery is really tiring, more tiring than riding a horse all day."

Shen Wancheng patted Shen Yao on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Keep striving for the many disciples and followers you will soon have."

As Ms. Lan had previously stated, Shen Yao would be of the same generation as Ms. Lan in their sect.

In other words, all of Ms. Lan's apprentices have to call Shen Yao "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior disciple).

Zhou Yunqing, Ms. Lan's daughter and apprentice, is already in her thirties.

The others are probably around this age, and they've likely already taken on disciples.

Therefore, it's equivalent to Shen Yao having a grand-disciple.

"Who wants to be a senior figure in the embroidery tradition? My life is so miserable."

Shen Wancheng shook her head helplessly.

She stood up, stretched, and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.

Shen Yao looked at the advertisement on TV and suddenly asked.

"Sis, Shen Mei wants to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, right?"

Shen Wancheng glanced at the TV screen and nodded.

"Yes, this is it."

"It says the competition is starting next month. Looking at the videos from previous years, everyone else can sing and dance. Can Shen Mei do it? People can even hear her accent when she speaks Cantonese, saying she's not authentic."

Shen Wancheng thought that since Shen Mei had contacted Guo Tao first, she should be introduced to his superior by Guo Tao.

Shen Wancheng had no grudges against Guo Tao, so she didn't ask Xu Pingtao to investigate Guo Tao and didn't know who Guo Tao's superiors were.

If she had a powerful background, that would be good. If Shen Mei followed that person and had a bit more luck, she could make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

If Guo Tao's boss doesn't have any powerful connections, then Shen Mei is just unlucky; she'll have to deal with whoever she's up to.

However, none of this has anything to do with Shen Wancheng anymore.

How Shen Mei lives her life in the future is her own choice.

Shen Wancheng answered Shen Yao.

"If she's lucky and someone notices her, they'll teach her a skill. She's not stupid; if she studies hard, she'll eventually learn a skill she can be proud of."

As for what would happen if bad luck struck, Shen Wancheng didn't say, but Shen Yao understood.

Shen Yao sighed.

"She's not stupid, but she's not exactly smart either."
