Mo City is a typical developing city in Country Z. And Su Ziceng, a typical human being in development. Due to the passage of time, Su Ziceng’s memories of more than a decade ago had become blurred. But this rebirth allowed her to return to that time vividly, witnessing once again the force of development. Back then, the seaside of Mo City was still a dirty and messy mudflat, with only a few top international brands having moved in, and hardly any second or third-tier brands to speak of. Just like Country Z at that time, other than Bianjing City and first-tier cities like Mo City, there were hardly any second or third-tier cities. At that time, the government had just implemented the open-door policy, and no one knew how the development would unfold. Only Su Ziceng, who had experienced the development more than a decade later, was aware of the series of changes that occurred across the whole country, in towns and the countryside. The democratization of super brands and the flourishing of second and third-tier brands, Su Ziceng lay in this old garage-turned-warehouse in France. In front of her, Mo City and Country Z’s changes over the years kept replaying, transitioning from a black-and-white film to a color negative. "Country Z needs... ZARA, just like a tongue twister," Su Ziceng’s mind also began to go numb, as if struck by lightning. In a way, she had preempted history; her ideas took away the thoughts of geniuses in some corners of the world, but so what? History was controlled by a few, even if it meant snatching the fruits of predecessors’ wisdom. "At every moment, we are enjoying the benefits of others’ wisdom," Su Ziceng muttered repeatedly. She wanted to open the first ZARA store in Country Z, starting with Mo City, to seize the initiative and the exclusive rights of ZARA in Country Z, and then gradually expand in Asia. Su Ziceng danced around the warehouse, and when she walked out, she had transformed back into the diligent and earnest Country Z female sales guide in other’s eyes. In the short span of less than three weeks, this female sales guide from Country Z stirred a storm of diligence in the ZARA store. She arrived the earliest and left the latest every day, besides managing her designated area, she even helped the store manager sort out the day’s revenues. Su Ziceng’s French was a bit odd, but her smile was sincere, and she always recommended the most suitable styles to customers, so after a few visits, even customers from other areas would unconsciously ask for her help. "SU," in the last week, even the store manager and the person in charge of the Paris area had been influenced by this girl from the East, who swung a smile more brilliant than the sun of Paris, "you are literally an angel from Country Z." Because of this, in the final week, Su Ziceng specially asked the manager to let her be a data collector. The so-called data collector involved reporting the stock-out items of each store to the headquarters; it was a tiring job as computer networking was not yet widespread, so often it required manual data aggregation before delivery to the ZARA headquarters in Spain. In the past, such tasks were usually managed by experienced employees, but after persistent requests from Su Ziceng, she finally got the chance to visit the ZARA headquarters on a business trip. Before leaving, she informed Pello. Pello always maintained an encouraging attitude towards her tireless work of recent days. After hanging up the phone, the smile faded from Pello’s face, showing a deep melancholy. He was just reviewing the activity reports of several dozen Kelly Women’s College students around the nation, Asia, and in New York and Paris, who were participating in a pre-graduation exam. The reports from Paris and New York were the most detailed, including everything about the people and events Su Ziceng and Wen Maixue had been in contact with in these famous international cities. Most of the female students’ days were tightly packed; some had to give up the examination midway and chose to return home. Among those who have persisted until now, resources are nearly depleted. Of these, what most weighed on his mind were the reports on Wen Maixue and Su Ziceng, from the beginning to the end of October. Even someone as cautious as Wen Maixue didn’t notice that someone was secretly shadowing her. Wen Maixue proved herself worthy as the successor of the Wen family, as Pello saw in the report. On her first day arriving in New York, she chose to contact a women’s organization in Las Vegas, declared her identity stating her father worked there, and then lost contact. The local organization quickly arranged to pick her up and brought her to Las Vegas.
