As soon as Cai Shi saw Masha looking at her, she immediately said, "This has nothing to do with me and my dad. I have confirmed it specifically. But my dad also said that after it became a hot topic, his marketing company also started to take advantage of it, but it's all normal business operations."
Hua Gu Shuang smiled and said, "Who said that Tui Ma is the top scorer in the college entrance examination? A top scorer in the college entrance examination giving such a speech is a very hot topic. I actually kissed an internet celebrity. I suddenly feel a little proud...ah!"
Hua Gu Shuang covered her mouth.
The doll girl stared at her in amazement: "Eh? Ah? This..."
"There is a deeper inside story here." Qianxun said to the doll seriously, "If you don't want to be involved, don't ask too much. Anyway, this is my boyfriend, and he has a good relationship with other girls. It's enough for you to know this."
The doll showed obvious doubts: "Well...if each of you were not so beautiful, I would definitely suspect that I was being taken advantage of."
——No, at least now I have no interest in an exquisite doll.
——The future, that’s a matter of the future.
Masha smiled and said to the girls, "Okay, what are you standing outside for? Come inside and sit down."
As he said this, he took out his key, opened the shop door, and the bell hanging on the door made a crisp sound.
The girls followed Masha into the store one after another, and the dolls that were ordered for the first time exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, this is great."
"Isn't it great!" Qianxun said proudly, "This will be our store from now on!"
"Will you work in the store wearing the maid costumes I made?" The doll also looked excited. "Then I must design the maid costumes to live up to this decoration."
"I leave it to you!" Chihiro held the doll's hand.
Masha coughed fakely and said, "Well, can anyone tell me what's going on? What's going on? Didn't he say he was going to take measurements to order a maid outfit? Why did he suddenly bring someone here?"
"Ah, that's right."
As soon as Chihiro opened her mouth, she was stopped by the doll.
Then the doll stepped forward and bowed to Masha: "Hello, Brother Masha."
"Brother?" Masha frowned. "No, you should be a college student. You should be older than me. I saw some photos of you taken in the dormitory..."
The doll's face turned slightly red. "That was... I took it in the dormitory of the garment factory. Although everyone thought it was the girls' dormitory of the university, I was also very vain and didn't want to expose it. But... well, that was the dormitory of the garment factory."
Masha: "Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. Garment factory?"
"Well," the doll lowered her head, looking very embarrassed, "I started working after I graduated from elementary school."
Masha: "As far as I know, it is illegal to employ child labor in our country."
"But in our village, it is normal for girls to work in factories after finishing primary school." The doll still lowered her head. "There are seven siblings in my family. Only one older brother and the youngest brother have been studying. The sisters all went out to work after finishing primary school."
"You this year..."
"17 years old." said the doll.
Masha snapped his fingers. If the secretary hadn't kicked him in the calf from behind, he would have probably shouted.
"Well," Masha said seriously, "this... every family has its own problems. Especially in a rural area like Yuezhou where men are extremely valued over women, there's nothing we can do about it."
Yuezhou is a very strange place. Although it is also a rural area, some places have very good economic development, so the villagers' ideas also keep up with the times. However, it is very likely that the village next to this village where everyone's ideas keep up with the times still maintains outdated ideas that make people suspect that they are still from before the liberation.
Moreover, people in the rural areas and even cities of Guangdong Province, regardless of whether the economy is good or bad, are extremely superstitious. Even in the city, many people have stone tablets at the foot of the walls at their doorsteps. On the day of sacrifice, the corridors are filled with the smell of incense.
There may not be memorial tablets in high-end residential areas, but it is normal to hang magic mirrors on security doors.
While expressing his feelings, Masha asked, "Do I know this... Guigui?"
"You can call me a brat."
"...Let's call Gui Gui. I'll make Xiao Gui feel like I'm his old leader." Masha said with a smile, "I know Gui Gui's background, but this has nothing to do with you coming here..."
"I don't want to be a factory girl for the rest of my life." Gui Gui said decisively. Her firm tone formed a sharp contrast with her doll-like appearance, which made people very impressed. "I want to make clothes and run my Taobao store. There are many big Taobao stores that have stolen my designs, made shoddy products, and sold them for a lot of money. I won't accept this!"
"Oh, that's ambitious." Masha gave a thumbs up.
"But I can't afford a pattern maker. Although I can contact the factory, the clothes I design and sew are not suitable for mass production. I need a pattern maker to break them down into a state suitable for factory mass production."
"Is... that so?" Masha had no idea about this.
"It's like this. After those big brand designers have finished their works, they also hand them over to the pattern makers for redesign. Some even rely on the pattern makers to realize their design intentions." Gui Gui said to Masha seriously, "I don't know how to make patterns... and if I want to concentrate on running a Taobao store, I can't continue to work in the factory. I have to move out of the factory dormitory..."
Qianxun interrupted at this time: "Now you understand, don't you?"
Masha nodded: "I understand, I completely understand. Yes, our fourth floor is now idle and is basically a storage room. I have seen the third floor. The previous owner left a full set of furniture and appliances. There is plenty of space. You can move in."
Gui Gui was overjoyed, but immediately showed an uneasy expression: "How do you calculate the rent?"
Chapter 224: Starting Today, You Are the Shopkeeper (Fifth Update)
Masha glanced at Guigui's steel plate.
"If you had a more explosive figure, I could let you pay with your body. But unfortunately, I'm not interested in firewood girls."
The league secretary patted Masha on the head and said, "Speak properly."
Seeing this, Guigui couldn't help laughing.
But she immediately stopped smiling and looked at Masha with a serious expression.
Masha began to speak in human language: "Let's sign an agreement. This house and the pattern maker will be considered as our investment in your online store. We own 40%, and we will also get 40% of the future profits."
The girl was overjoyed: "Is it really possible? My store might not make any money at all..."
"Then please help look after the store when we are not here." Masha said with a smile.
"Is that all? It costs money to hire a pattern maker or something."
“You always have to take some risks.”
Guigui laughed happily, but she immediately showed a vigilant expression: "Why are you so straightforward... I always feel..."
"I'm just giving you a helping hand out of kindness." Masha shrugged. "If you don't need it, I won't force you. But I'll be very unhappy if my kindness is misinterpreted."
"No! Of course not! It's just that I..."
Qianxun put her hand on Guigui's shoulder: "There are so many sisters with you. If he has any plans against you, we will make him suffer first."
Guigui looked at Qianxun, then at the girls around her, and was obviously relieved.
Masha gave Chihiro a thumbs up in her heart.
"So, can I move in tomorrow?" she asked Masha.
Masha turned around and asked the driver, Lao Wang, who had been standing far away: "Driver Wang, can you get the legal department to finalize the contract tomorrow?"
"No problem, let the legal staff work overtime tonight." Lao Wang said something very capitalist.
Masha nodded to Guigui and said, "You can move in tomorrow, and you can even live here tonight. Although we don't have daily necessities right now, it's so convenient here, so just buy them now."
"Is it okay?" Guigui asked in surprise.
"Of course. We have no one to look after the store tonight. If you stay here, you can help us share the burden." Masha said with a smile.
"Then I'll start drawing the design of the maid costume tonight!" The girl was full of energy.
"Then I'll leave it to you," said Masha.
"Ok!"
Then Masha pointed to the pizza that was packed and asked, "Did you eat it tonight?"
"Of course, otherwise my stomach would have been growling a long time ago," Chihiro said.
"Then I'll take this back for a midnight snack." Masha stretched lazily. "That's enough for today. I'll go buy some daily necessities with Guigui and call it a day. As for tomorrow..."
Masha looked at Hongye and Huagu Shuang and said, "You two can... Oh, yes, you will definitely be able to come after you finish your exams. Tomorrow we will help Guigui move, and then do a thorough cleaning. This is our nest. We have to clean it up properly."

That night, Chen Zhongwu reported to Qi Xiangwen in the conference room: "We investigated the girl who broke into the store that Masha got from Boss Cai, and also investigated the foreigner who was suspected of having contact with the girl today. Both of them are Jewish, and their backgrounds are very clean. Too clean."
"Oh?" Qi Xiangwen didn't even look at the report that Chen Zhongwu had thrown on the table. He asked directly, "Mossad?"
"The girl is only 18 years old. If she is a Mossad agent, she is too young. She must have started training when she was or years old. The man has been in Greater China for a long time. He even has a son who is in his twenties and is doing quite well in his own media. But we haven't been able to find any problems with this man yet. I want to apply to my superiors to use the mole in Mossad to investigate..."
"I will apply. However, I think there is a high possibility that this man is Mossad."
Chen Zhongwu asked seriously: "Do you want preventive expulsion?"
"No, if we expel them, they will send new people." Qi Xiangwen shrugged. "You should be better than me in this regard. For these spies who have been exposed, isn't the general practice in the anti-espionage field to monitor but not arrest them, and wait for the right time to act?"
As long as the spy is exposed, he will not pose a threat. We just need to control the intelligence he can access. Although continuous surveillance requires more manpower, it is possible to catch more spies.
Therefore, spies will not be arrested immediately unless they are extremely dangerous - those who will be arrested immediately are confirmed internal traitors, commonly known as "moles".
The spies that have been discovered are the best bait for fishing moles.
Of course, in the past, if two countries were at odds, it was normal to capture a few discovered spies to serve as a warning to others or as a bargaining chip - this is what Qi Xiangwen calls "the right time."
Chen Zhongwu nodded.
"I will arrange forces to keep a constant watch on this Jewish man, Gao Luo."
"Ah."
"What about that girl named Dinah? I see she has booked admission to Yixian University this September. Do we need to take action to prevent her from coming into contact with the King in Yellow?"
Qi Xiangwen fell into deep thought about Chen Zhongwu's question.
He was trying to guess the intentions of his superiors.
——Obviously they know something.
——So do the higher-ups want foreigners to get in touch with the King in Yellow?
——At first glance, it seems that the authority of the regional leadership country was used to block foreign girls of the same age as Masha from entering the regional customs. To be more precise, the beautiful ones among them were blocked from entering the regional customs.
——However, since the higher-ups were paying so much attention to the King in Yellow, it was impossible for them not to notice the actions of this Jewish girl approaching the King in Yellow.
——Do the higher-ups really intend to prevent the King in Yellow from coming into contact with all the exotic beauties of his age?
——Is this a kind of provocation? By blocking this superficial action through customs, stimulating the intelligence agencies of other countries to strengthen their confidence in the honey trap?
——Of course, it is also possible that it is because Masha is the fake King in Yellow, so the people above are so careless.
After thinking for a long time, Qi Xiangwen made a decision: "Keep an eye on her, regularly evaluate the progress of her relationship with the Yellow King, and do not stop it before it reaches a critical stage."
——This should be completely safe.
Qi Xiangwen thought so.
Chen Zhongwu nodded: "Yes. In addition, Masha's speech video is now widely circulated on the Internet. Shouldn't we take some action? This video is quite inflammatory. Whether it is seen by the superpowers we manage now or by those who may awaken in the future, it is not good, right?"
"Although it is inflammatory, Masha is calling on everyone to strive for some noble and great goals." Qi Xiangwen said with a smile - a smile from the heart, "To be honest, I felt relieved after watching this video. Let it spread."
Chen Zhongwu nodded, turned and left the meeting room.
Qi Xiangwen sat on the chair, thinking with regret: How great it would be if Masha was the real King in Yellow. I would have to worry less!
Chapter 225 I didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it (sixth update)
Masha and the girls bought daily necessities for Guigui, and then led the girls to retreat.
In the huge shop, Guigui was the only one left.
Guigui came to the third floor, looked at the furniture, took out the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.
"Since you said you can use all the electrical appliances freely, just let me enjoy the air conditioning!" she said to herself.
“The factory dormitory only has fans, and it’s so hot!”
This is Guangdong. Although it is not as hot as those inland furnaces due to its marine climate, the summer in Guangdong lasts longer. Even in December, Guangdong often "fails to enter winter" and people still have to wear short sleeves and turn on air conditioning.
Living in Yuezhou without air conditioning is a very uncomfortable thing.
Guigui stood right under the air conditioner indoor unit, turned the wind pendulum to the lowest gear, and let the cold wind blow towards herself.
She smiled happily.
"Yes, remove the makeup."
She took out a small makeup bag from her belongings, and when she opened it, it was filled with various loose cosmetics. It was completely different from Cai Shi Qianxun and the others' makeup bags which were filled with original and authentic products.
After carefully removing her makeup, she came to the mirror and looked at her face carefully.
In fact, she has a very decent appearance and her skin is very good. However, due to her long life as a factory girl, she has no time to take care of her skin. So now, although she is only 17 years old, her skin already looks rough and old.
In order to cover up the traces of her life as a factory girl, she had to use heavy makeup, but low- and medium-end cosmetics further eroded her skin.
