Chapter 518: Chapter 0519: The Woman Met in the Elevator [Fourth Update]
```
After the emergence of silk in ancient times, its price has always been expensive; even today, ordinary people can’t afford the clothing woven from true silk.
Since ancient times, Jiangnan Province has been the silk center of Huaxia, and it remains so to this day. In modern times, here in Jinling City of Jiangnan Province, very few people raise silkworms anymore, but the true silk is imported en masse from both domestic and international sources and then processed further into different grades here.
The price also varies with the different grades of true silk produced.
The higher end involves using true silk as the raw material to make various types of clothing, such as tops, trousers, underwear, panties, scarves, towels, and so on. However, the prices among these items also range from high to low.
Before the founding of Xingyue Group, Shen Zhigang and his wife primarily produced silk. Later, feeling that the pure profits were not very high, they gradually shifted to producing garments from silk.
Eventually, they realized that within clothing, one could differentiate into very large categories.
Most people think that silk suits and even dresses are expensive.
But in reality, women’s undergarments, including panties and bras, can be more expensive than the price of houses in Jinling City, even exceeding the cost of a house.
A very small piece of women’s underwear, roughly the size of a palm, is priced between two thousand and five thousand, while currently, the price of houses in the suburbs of Jinling, like in Jiangbei, is about ten thousand or so.
Therefore, the higher the grade of the panties, the higher the price, almost comparable to the price of a house.
And while housing is a necessity for ordinary people’s clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, comfortable underwear is nearly a necessity for women.
In this situation, high-end undergarments become an essential part of women’s lives, with still a very high consumption volume in the market.
Xingyue Group had already transformed even before Shen Zhigang and his wife retired, specializing in women’s intimate apparel. After Shen Yueru took over her father’s position, she further developed the company in the direction of high-end women’s underwear and gained a significant share of the high-end undergarment market within the country.
However, Xingyue Group recently encountered a problem that could potentially affect its future and further development.
...
Ye Qiu called Shen Yueru’s mobile phone, and after a few minutes, Yueru picked up from the other side, saying, "I was just in the meeting room. Where are you?"
"I’m on the first floor."
Ye Qiu found that as soon as he had arrived, he could smell many kinds of perfume, some pleasant and some not, but when mixed together, the scent of the perfume became unpleasant to him.
"You take the elevator up by yourself, the twenty-eighth floor,"
said Shen Yueru.
Ye Qiu could only wait downstairs.
After he pressed the elevator button to go up, he soon noticed a large group of young women coming up behind him.
These young women were almost all dressed in white-collar business suits wearing high heels and carrying a bag, with a stronger scent of perfume emanating from them.
It was the peak time for going to work, and Ye Qiu didn’t know whether these young women all worked here.
He glanced over and noticed that the young women here were well-dressed, but most of them were of below-average appearance with few truly beautiful, natural-looking young women.
Ye Qiu didn’t realize that most of the employees here were women, since this office mainly focused on designing women’s intimate apparel.
The Xingyue Group’s design department is located here, while the production department is in the suburb of Jiangnan, so most of this floor in the building revolves around the company’s design department.
"See that young man?"
Those who led the design department still viewed a person’s attire through a woman’s eyes; certainly, the gaze of these young female office workers going to and from work would be different.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu wearing that whitened-by-washing shirt, a somewhat worn pair of jeans, and those counterfeit Adidas sneakers on his feet.
The total cost of his outfit, including the knock-off sports shoes, definitely did not exceed one hundred yuan.
The most crucial point was that these clothes had been worn for quite a long time.
Moreover, when Ye Qiu used to work at the porridge and noodle shop, his outfit, even though washed white, still had a bit of a greasy feel.
"He might be a junk collector."
Another young woman commented.
"A junk collector? Would security even let him in? Usually, that kind of trash is taken out and thrown away by the cleaning ladies."
"True."
"So what is he doing here?"
...
Ye Qiu overheard those young white-collar workers whispering and pointing fingers at him.
Ye Qiu’s clothing, although somewhat shabby, was in fact very clean, and it did not have any unpleasant odors.
Continuing to wait for the elevator, he waited for about five minutes before it finally arrived. When the elevator doors opened, another group of young women in flamboyant dresses emerged from inside.
After they had all exited, Ye Qiu went inside, still able to distinctly smell the unpleasant mix of perfumes in the elevator, as there were too many scents mingling together.
Ye Qiu entered, pressed the button for the twenty-eighth floor, and those young women who had just entered did the same, but they deliberately kept a distance from Ye Qiu, then pressed the buttons for the floors they were going to.
Ye Qiu just stood there.
Seeing an unfamiliar young man there, these young women stopped talking.
As the elevator continued upwards, Ye Qiu had thought that the number of people would decrease, but instead, more and more young women squeezed in.
Until on the fifteenth floor, a fashionably dressed young woman, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six and quite busty, was pushed right next to Ye Qiu.
Having assumed she was surrounded by women, the young woman thought that a little squishing was not a big deal, as no one would take advantage of each other.
Unexpectedly, there was a man among them, and this young man was dressed very ordinarily, not looking like the handsome type.
Fortunately, despite the heat of the Great Xia summer, there was no unpleasant odor to be sensed.
The young ’busty’ woman suddenly got squeezed next to Ye Qiu and quickly said, "Sorry."
Ye Qiu did not respond.
The elevator was too crowded; one or two more people and it would surely be overloaded.
Finally, as they climbed higher, the young women started to exit the elevator, gradually freeing up more space inside.
Ye Qiu’s gaze was fixed outside the sightseeing elevator, while the other young women were now able to take out their phones and play.
"Ding!"
The elevator finally stopped at the twenty-eighth floor, and as the doors opened, Ye Qiu said, "Excuse me, I need to get out."
