Ivana took Timmy out, and a car was waiting outside. The driver was Derrick Stern. Ivana had been very busy these past two days, coming ho late every night, so Leon Keane couldn’t personally pick her up and sent Derrick instead.
Leon considered that Ivana and her son returned late, and felt more at ease with Derrick sending them. He also considered preventing Silas Joyce, this man eyeing his woman, from seizing the opportunity to sneak in.
Derrick dropped Ivana and her son at ho.
Ivana glanced at Derrick’s noticeable dark circles under the corridor light and felt quite embarrassed because her overti also ant Derrick had to work late.
"Thank you, Derrick," Ivana said gratefully.
"You’re welco, it’s what I should do," Derrick replied with a smile.
Derrick dropped Ivana and her son at ho, returned to the car, and dialed Leon’s number to inform him that Ivana and her son were ho, allowing the president to sleep peacefully.
"Did Silas show up tonight?" Leon asked.
"Yes, he did. I stopped him from going in to see Ivana."
"Oh? He listened to you?" Leon raised an eyebrow.
Derrick chuckled and said, "He wouldn’t listen, so I told him that President Kane was at the fashion show with Ivana, advising him not to play the third wheel. He had to leave dejectedly."
"Well done, starting this month, you’ll get a raise," Leon’s thin lips curled up, feeling quite pleased.
Derrick felt like he was hit by a surprise egg, the joy coming too quickly. He wanted to shout into the phone, "President Kane, I love you," but if he actually did, he feared he’d be shown the door from Kane Group the next day.
Derrick’s hand, holding the phone, shook with excitent, and even after Leon ended the call, his hand still trembled as he put the phone down. Derrick cald his excited heart, started the car whistling.

The next day.
Yiren Magazine received a local express delivery, signed for by "Ivy Linden."
Ivy was a bit puzzled when she saw the package; she hadn’t shopped on Taobao recently. Who sent her the delivery?
After signing, Ivy opened the package. Inside was a rectangular gift box, which was beautifully crafted. As she unwrapped it, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
This... This was the fashion piece she liked.
Ivy was so excited she trembled, knowing it was Ivana who sent the package to her.
"Wow, Ms. Linden, where did you buy this outfit? It’s so stylish! Wearing this piece would definitely have an amazing vibe. I’m in love!"
"I love it too, Ms. Linden, please tell us where you bought it? I want to buy it too, no matter how expensive it is. Ms. Linden, do you mind if we end up wearing the sa outfit as you?"
"Ms. Linden treats us like sisters, she definitely wouldn’t mind. Boohoo... I also want to save money to buy it, I love it so much."
Ivy was very pleased to see how much everyone liked the clothes designed by Ivana.
"Oh, this outfit looks a bit familiar." A female colleague thought for a mont, suddenly recalling sothing and exclaid in surprise, "Isn’t this the outfit to be worn by the model published in next week’s Yiren Magazine?"
"No wonder I thought it looked familiar too; you saying it made realize. Wow, it really is."
Ivy smiled and said, "That’s right, I’m glad everyone likes my idol goddess’s work so much. With the new fashion hitting the shelves, you can go buy in groups! For any purchase of GK’s new clothing by employees, you can get thirty percent of your receipt reimbursed by finance."
"All new outfits by GK... can be reimbursed by thirty percent?" A female employee looked at Ivy incredulously, asking softly.
"Yes," Ivy confird with a smile to the female employee.
All the female employees were ecstatic.
"Wow! Ms. Linden, you’re amazing."
"Ms. Linden, I’m crazy about you."
"Ms. Linden, you’re a big shot, worshipping the boss! I want to hang onto the boss’s leg!"
With Ivy surrounded by the enthusiasm of female employees, after a while, they went back to their tasks. Ivy cherished the fashion piece like a treasure, then picked up her phone and dialed Ivana’s number.
The call connected.
"Boohoo... Ivana, you’re too good to . How did you know I love this fashion piece?"
"Ivana, don’t refuse, I must pay you for this piece. You worked so hard on it, how can I take it for free?"
"No, no! Ivana, my mistake. I want to be your friend, I won’t ntion money anymore, don’t ignore ."
"Mm-hmm, alright, I’ll treat you to a al next ti."
After hanging up, Ivy’s eyes were moist, feeling both excited and happy, thrilled that her idol goddess treated her so well, and she’d never find a better idol goddess.
Once the fashion show aired, coupled with the boost from "Yiren Magazine," "GK’s" fashion suddenly beca like a tornado, completely blazing through Ravenswood.
Ivana received several calls in a day from those wanting to discuss collaboration, and for those who didn’t have Ivana’s number, they simply sent representatives to "GK" to negotiate.
Ivana found that brands like "Socialite," "Polly Micro," "Elsa," etc., with which she had collaborated before, were coming back to her, even the company of Mr. Morris, who once tried to harass her and got beaten into a pig head by Leon, was among them.
Ivana’s lips curled slightly. When she was in trouble, she personally reached out to these brands, hoping they’d help based on previous relationships. But none offered help; instead, Mr. Morris, the old scoundrel, tried to take advantage of her in her ti of need.
There’s a saying, when I was in difficulty you didn’t help , now that I’m successful, why should I share benefits with you?
Ivana rejected them all; she didn’t rush to choose a company to collaborate with, nor did she plan to have all new products, as before, taken for partnerships with brands.
She plans to build a factory in the future, to produce herself. However, given the current situation of the company, creating a factory is a pipe dream.
So, she plans to negotiate an additional item with cooperating companies—processing products, which ans having them help produce her non-cooperated fashion pieces, paying processing fees based on market rates, and selling this batch under the "GK" brand na.
Michelle monopolized "GK" for private customization, essentially operating it like a brand but completely ruining "GK’s" reputation. Ivana can only seize the opportunity of the booming fashion show and Yiren Magazine to let "GK" make a coback.
Therefore, she must select reputable companies for processing this ti, ensuring stringent post-production inspections to guarantee every garnt from "GK" has no quality issues and is a superior product.
