    Chapter 669 "Shein, I..."


    Lethan had no confidence at all.


    Islo was a mature domestic brand that focused on quality and fabric, and it was still inadequate in terms of innovative designs.


    Gabriel''s Fashion Breeze focused more on design and innovation. Its design department had two designers who had been lured back to the country from abroad with high sries.


    If Hermès were looking for an original design manufacturer, Islo would be confident that they could y the part. However, the partner Hermès was looking for needed innovative designs. Islo''s design team was filled with talents who had been discovered from university exhibitions of their disciplines, but making Islo a well-known domestic brand was already the limit of what they were capable of. It would be a losing battle to make thempete with Fashion Breeze''s design team.


    Josie lowered her eyes. She was very disappointed with Lethan''s performance. Her younger brother didn''t even have the courage to try.


    "Sh-Shein..."


    Shania tentatively raised her hand as if she had something to say.


    Shein smiled through his exhaustion.


    "Go ahead."


    "Actually, Lethan and I-"


    "Shania!"


    Lethan''s brow furrowed.


    He figured that Shania was probably nning to tell them about Holly Fisheries. However, they weren''t even sure if there would be a cold snap or not. If Shein and Josie discovered they had invested one billion dors in Holly Fisheries, they would be scolded thoroughly.


    Shein''s eyes glinted.


    "You were going to tell me that you still have Holly Fisheries as a trump card, don''t you?" Lethan and Shania''s eyes widened simultaneously. They were surprised that Shein already knew about that.


    Josie rolled her eyes at them.


    "Holly Fisheries has been making such amotion that there probably isn''t anyone in Cascade State who does business and doesn''t know about it. Did you think that we didn''t know just because we didn''t ask you about it?"


    From October to November of the previous year, every constructionpany in Rivend joined in to build greenhouses for Holly Fisheries. Holly Fisheries had rentedrge areas ofnd in each region, which had also drawn a lot of attention. Sheldon had even called Shein to discuss the matter.


    Shaniaughed awkwardly.


    "Josie, Shein, you''re not angry, are you?"


    "What do you think?"


    Josie huffed coldly.


    "You''ve really grown too big for your boots. How dare you invest one billion dors in aquaculture?"


    Lethan and Shania both feared Josie. When they saw that she was in a temper, they both hung their heads and held their breath.


    Shein said slowly, "It''s good for young people to have their own ideas. Having the courage to invest one billion in a field that we''ve never stepped into is good. We can''t limit ourselves to what we''re familiar with. The times are moving, and the market is changing. If we don''t have the courage to try new things, we''ll be eliminated by the market eventually. That''s why I told you not to interfere in their project."


    Shein took a sip of tea to wet his throat and continued, "Let''s get back to the topic at hand. Lethan, to tell you the truth, if we don''t secure this coboration with Hermès, Fashion Breeze will use Hermès to boost their status and soar to sess. Gabriel will also use this opportunity to attack Islo Clothing. Islo Clothing''s brand is a big threat to Gabriel. He even nted a pawn by your side because he wants to destroy thepanypletely!" Lethan''s pupils constricted.


    "Is Gabriel ready to attack you openly?"


    Shein shook his head and said, "Not for now. However, Islo Clothing is one of our trump cards. If this ace of ours falls, it''ll affect both our families. So we must do our very best and think of everything we can to get this coboration with Hermès!"


    "I''ll... I''ll do my best!"


    Lethan immediately felt very stressed. His hands bunched into fists on the table.


    Shein picked up the teapot and poured tea into the teacups.


    He said, "Two years ago, one of the Casmanian designers at Chanel returned to the country. He graduated from the Clindon College of Fashion and won the Gold award five consecutive times for his Chanel handbag designs. If we can find this expert designer, Islo might have a chance topete against Fashion Breeze."


    "Where did he go after he came back?" Lethan asked quickly.


    "Would I need to mention this if I knew?"


    Shein picked up his teacup and continued drinking tea.


    "Even getting this bit of information took a lot of effort!"


    "Aren''t you asking me to look for a needle in a haystack?" Lethan muttered.


    "I''ve got photos of some of the pieces designed by him. You can look for it on the Inte."


    Shein pulled open a drawer and extracted a thick envelope, which he tossed onto the table. Lethan opened the envelope and examined the photos. After all, he had been working in fashion for many years.
