At the dining table, Shu Ya teased Tongtong while chatting about household matters with Hao Jian.
"By the way, is the Group's listing in Arica still going smoothly?" Hao Jian suddenly asked, rembering the matter of Shu Ya Group's listing.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Shu Ya's face faded quite a bit, and she said, "The listing did go quite smoothly, but there were so troubles when trying to enter the French market."
Hao Jian frowned and asked, "What troubles?"
"I wanted Shu Ya Group's jewelry to be featured on the Champs-Elysées, but the local governnt seems to think that I still lack the necessary qualifications," Shu Ya said with a troubled expression. The Champs-Elysées was a paradise for luxury goods, with all world-class luxury brands aspiring to be featured there. Naturally, Shu Ya was no exception.
The Champs-Elysées, located in the heart of the bustling business district of Paris, translates to "Heaven" or "Elysium" in French.
The Champs-Elysées is a famous street in Paris, known throughout the world. It spans the east-west main axis of the Capital, with natural scenery as its primary feature in the east, peaceful and tranquil; the western part is a high-end comrcial area with world-class brands, fashion stores, and perfu shops gathered here, sparkling and extravagant.
That's why it is known as "the most beautiful avenue in the world."
To be featured on the Champs-Elysées, it's less an investnt and more an honor!
Because having the right to be featured on the Champs-Elysées signifies that you are a world-class luxury brand!
Hao Jian couldn't help but feel a mix of amusent and disbelief, "Is that it? Just keep working hard, and eventually, you'll be qualified if you aren't now."
He also knew that, given the current strength of Shu Ya Group, securing a spot on the Champs-Elysées would be a challenge.
"I know, so I wanted to create a brand-new label with one of the local independent brand companies in France. However, their chairman, Rivettes, insulted our products as trash, and even said that we Huaxia people can only make shoddy knockoffs and can't produce first-class luxury goods. This made really angry!" Shu Ya said indignantly.
If they don't want to collaborate, that's fine, but why insult us? Why can't the Huaxia create first-class items? They have many enterprises that are part of the Fortune Global 500, right?
"So arrogant?" Hao Jian couldn't help but frown. The other party was basically insulting their entire ethnicity. It would have been fine if they just rejected the proposal, but they also resorted to insults. This guy must have too much ti on his hands, right?
"Isn't that the case? Several decent local companies valued our group's culture and capabilities and were interested in collaborating with us. However, not only did Rivettes not want to work with us himself, but he also prevented those companies from working with us.
Helplessly, his company is one of the leading enterprises in France, and others dared not offend him, so these collaborations had to be abandoned," Shu Ya said angrily. Clearly, she was extrely vexed by Rivettes. If not for Rivettes ddling, even if she couldn't secure a spot on the Champs-Elysées, she could at least establish the brand in France.
As long as the brand gained prestige, becoming a top world brand would just be a matter of ti. But Rivettes, because of his prejudice against Huaxia, had crushed that hope; how could Shu Ya not be upset?
In her view, Rivettes must be jealous and afraid that Shu Ya Jewelry Group would beco the first Huaxia luxury brand ever on the Champs-Elysées!
After pondering deeply for a mont, Hao Jian lifted his head and smiled, "How about I help you fulfill your wish?"
"Really? Big brother, don't joke around, all right? The Champs-Elysées is France's flagship; how could my small brand, which has just started stepping into the world, catch their fancy?" Shu Ya rolled her eyes, thinking that Hao Jian was boasting too much.
She had so self-awareness; what did she have to offer that would earn the Champs-Elysées' recognition? The brands that could secure a position there, didn't they have a proud history spanning more than half a century? In terms of reputation, business philosophy, corporate culture, product quality, and so on, none could be compared with her newly established small brand.
"I indeed can't get the executive representative of the Champs-Elysées commission to recognize you, but I can stop that Rivettes from giving you any more trouble. As for how the group develops afterward and whether you have the qualifications to open a store on the Champs-Elysées, that will depend on your own talent," Hao Jian said with a slight smile and a shrug.
At those words, Shu Ya was suddenly startled, "You... you really have a way?"
"Of course? If I wasn't completely confident, I wouldn't have made the offer," Hao Jian said nonchalantly.
"Why are you helping ?" Shu Ya asked with a laugh. Surely, this guy didn't have so ulterior motives, like proposing so condition to take Xiao Qiang or Ruo Lan as concubines, right? She could never agree to that.
Hao Jian was sowhat speechless, "Isn't that obvious? Why help you? Because I'm a Huaxia person, just like you! I also hope that Huaxia's luxury goods can one day be qualified to open a store on the Champs-Elysées and not just in luxury goods but also in chanical engineering, manufacturing, and other fields to have a place in the world!"
Arica is militarily strong, Germany excels in chanical manufacturing, and East Ocean's electronic products have a resounding reputation.
By contrast, Huaxia seems sowhat wanting.
So, hearing that Shu Ya had the opportunity to show Huaxia's luxury goods to the world, he naturally hoped to see that day and would spare no effort to help make it happen.
This was not rely about business benefits; it was about fighting for national glory!
With a population of 1.3 billion, if each Huaxia person spat once, it could create a tsunami. If everyone upheld this belief and stopped scheming for personal gain, why wouldn't Huaxia beco rich and powerful?
What others do is none of Hao Jian's business, he only cares about what he does himself!
He normally wouldn't involve himself in the affairs of Shu Ya Group, but since this matter affected the prestige of Huaxia, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing!
Seeing Hao Jian's eyes shining so brightly they were almost blinding, Shu Ya couldn't help but be infatuated.
"I'll find a way to solve this problem in the next couple of days, so you don't need to worry. What you need to do now is to continue maintaining contact with those French companies. When the ti cos, I'll naturally make that Rivettes give in!" Hao Jian spoke with a light smile.
Shu Ya looked at Hao Jian with so scepticism, but ultimately did not voice her doubts.
After having dinner at Sister Lan's and returning to his own ho, Hao Jian imdiately embraced Shu Ya with a mischievous grin.
"You. What do you think you're doing?" Shu Ya looked at Hao Jian with so wariness, knowing that this bad guy was probably up to no good again.
"How about, we do sothing not suitable for children?" Hao Jian suggested with a lecherous grin, quoting an old saying that bodes well for procreation, not a word wrong indeed.
Now that he had his fill, Hao Jian was up to no good again.
Shu Ya's face turned red, and she glared at him irritably, "You just had your way with to the point I couldn't get out of bed a while ago, and now you're at it again?"
"This ti, I'll be gentler, I promise you!" Hao Jian vowed earnestly. n would say anything to get a woman into bed.
"But it's only seven o'clock, are you a stud or sothing?" Shu Ya said with so disbelief, wondering why this guy only ever thought about those kind of things.

"The thing about doing that is all about the mood, who cares about the ti? Once the mood strikes, ti, place, even gender are no longer issues!" Hao Jian shalessly quipped, the lewd smile still on his face.
Shu Ya rolled her eyes, "I've seen many shaless people, but soone as shaless as you, this is really my first ti!"
"Cut the crap!" Hao Jian directly picked up Shu Ya and strode towards the bedroom, then roughly tossed her onto the bed.
"You bastard! You pervert!" Shu Ya protested, blushing and weak, seemingly unable to resist.
"That's right, I am a pervert! Now, my lady, here I co!" Hao Jian eagerly began to strip off his clothes.
Shu Ya, with a look of coy embarrassnt and cheeks as red as cherries, seed to decide to let Hao Jian have his way with her.
But just at that mont, Shu Ya suddenly noticed a gold necklace and a gold ring falling out of the pocket of the trousers Hao Jian had tossed aside.
In an instant, Shu Ya's expression darkened.
"Honey, I'm coming for you!" Hao Jian dove in naked, but at that mont, Shu Ya planted her foot on Hao Jian's face.
"Pah pah. Honey, what are you doing?" Hao Jian asked unhappily, having received a foot in his face to start with was a real mood-killer, wasn't it?
Or could it be that this little minx had so peculiar fetish for feet? Should he indulge her?
At that mont, Shu Ya got up with a somber face, walked over to Hao Jian's jeans, and pulled out the collection of gold jewelry. She frowned and interrogated Hao Jian, "These pieces of jewelry, who were you planning to give them to?"
Just by looking at them, it was obvious they were won's accessories, and she would never wear sothing so garish and old-fashioned, so they couldn't be for her. Won's accessories that weren't ant for her, so who was Hao Jian planning to give them to?
"These, I wasn't planning to give them to anyone," Hao Jian replied with a wry smile, knowing Shu Ya was probably misunderstanding. "I got them from a middle-aged woman, and initially planned to give them to Ruo Lan, but she didn't want them."
"To Ruo Lan? You were actually planning to give these pieces of jewelry to Ruo Lan?" Shu Ya exploded, her gaze sharp as she stared at Hao Jian, "Always Ruo Lan, Ruo Lan—you address her so affectionately. What, have you taken a liking to a widow now?"
"I... How could I?" Hao Jian lanted, feeling like crying. Did you just skip over the first part?
Won have the habit of conveniently ignoring the parts they don't care about, and Shu Ya was no exception. She only heard that Hao Jian planned to give the gold jewelry to Ruo Lan!
