Mu Hanxia is stunned inwardly Many will die? Such a cruel prediction from him sounds hard to believe But her instinct tells her, what he said most likely will turn into reality
“Didn’t you teach yourself to study the curves?” Lin Mochen says, “Everyone dies, only profit is permanent If the current brands are knocked out the e room of demand and profit This enormous new profit, will be whose?”
Mu Hanxia stares at him in silence
He reaches over for her chopsticks, picks up two brightly orange carrot strips with thelass, “The new comers that are superior in quality and distinct in styles will quickly grab the chunk of profit For the current brands, theyup companies, this is their best time This is why I choose this time to enter the apparel industry in China”

“Oh he asked you to go?”
Mu Hanxia’s heart seems to have skipped a beat, “Hmm”
He Jing says, “He has a crash on you right? Really, last ti that he looked at you in a peculiar way”
Mu Hanxia pauses at her words, and then says, “How can that be possible? It’s impossible for him to be fond of me”
