Chapter 509: Chapter 509: No matter how difficult it is later, could it be harder than before?

The effect of advertising and newspapers may still be something Lin Chunju doesn’t quite understand.

However, she had a deep understanding of the importance of public opinion.

Back when two families in Daye Village had a quarrel, they would first try to seize the moral high ground and "campaign" for support from the onlookers.

Village reputation was very important; if a family had a bad reputation, others would be unwilling to associate with them.

At the end of the year when the village divided pork after a pig slaughter, such families would only receive worthless parts like the offal.

So Lin Chunju could very much relate to Yue Xiaofang’s trouble.

"So they really can do whatever they want? Can’t we just pay the newspaper reporters a bit more to get them to cover the story?"

Yue Xiaofang naturally had thought of that, "I did ask a few who were willing to come, but they aren’t the papers with the highest circulation in Zhuancheng. I estimate even if they write something, it would be placed in some inconspicuous corner of the newspaper, hardly worth anything."

"Moreover... among these reporters, I’m afraid some may have been bribed by the other side. There will be an interview session after the ribbon-cutting, and I worry that someone will say something erratic."

As a divorced woman, Yue Xiaofang didn’t know how many times competitors had used this fact to create negative publicity.

Especially since she had several employees with similar circumstances, there was even a company that deliberately mocked them as the "Widow’s Team."

They spread rumors that Yue Xiaofang’s place was full of indecent women, and anyone who joined would surely turn bad.

This created many problems for Yue Xiaofang when hiring after the New Year.

Although previous issues had been resolved, Yue Xiaofang worried that those people would use the same tactics again and pose some difficult questions during the event.

If the news was reported recklessly, the newly opened company would be smeared right from the start.

But Yue Xiaofang couldn’t just cancel the opening ceremony; what would her employees think?

Upon hearing her daughter’s predicament, Lin Chunju also felt quite troubled.

Seeing her mother at a loss for words, Yue Xiaofang instead comforted her.

"Don’t worry about it anymore; maybe I’m overthinking it. We still have a week left before the opening. It’s all just shadows right now."

Lin Chunju asked, "Can your brother be of any help in this matter? Don’t be too polite with him."

Yue Xiaofang quickly said, "Brother has already helped me a lot. When those other companies started a price war, many stores said my clothes weren’t selling well and removed my display areas. It was Brother who gave me the best spots every time, making sure people coming and going in the malls could see them, so they wouldn’t forget the brand."

As Lin Chunju pondered, Yue Xiaofang started to regret having shared her troubles with her mother.

"Don’t drag Brother into this. Though he has many friends, he doesn’t know many people from the newspapers. If you tell him, it’ll just make him and his wife worry for no reason. They’re busy enough as it is."

Lin Chunju scolded, "You child are still the same. We’re all family, what’s this about trouble or no trouble."

But Yue Xiaofang was resolute on this matter, "It’s fine, I can definitely figure something out."

This was the stubborn determination ingrained in Yue Xiaofang. In her heart, she felt she had already troubled her family too much. She wasn’t a child who would run home crying after being bullied.

Now, she had many people under her command, and in the end, Yue Xiaofang had to make the final decisions.

Seeing that she couldn’t persuade her daughter, Lin Chunju thought of another idea.

"When your company opens, I’ll have Qingqing go there as well."

Yue Xiaofang couldn’t help but smile and cry simultaneously, "What’s the use of having Qingqing come?"

Lin Chunju spoke confidently, "Have you forgotten? The first time you went to the city to sell your tailoring services, you brought Qingqing along, dressed in your handmade clothes. People could tell your craftsmanship was good just by looking at her. It’s the same this time, let Qingqing wear clothes from your store, and she can be your little model."

Though feeling that her mother was just trying to comfort her, she couldn’t help but reminisce about the old days.

Back then, the Yue Family was poor, with nothing at all; she and the third youngest went to the city with Qingqing, hoping for a stroke of luck.

A sudden flame of determination rose in Yue Xiaofang’s heart.

She had survived such hard times; how could any future struggle be harder than what she had already endured?
