Chapter 1373 Advertiser
After breakfast, Emmeline walked to RetroWave Advertisements.
Tony was already there.
Outside the entrance, welders were busy constructing the advertising sign’s frame. Tony leaned on a crutch,
holding a cloth in one hand, and carefully wiped the tables.
Emmeline took the cloth from him and began cleaning, saying, “Why don’t I help you, Tony?”
“You don’t look like the type to do chores,” Tony commented with a grin. “You don’t do much of them, don’t you?”
“I do do chores. I just don’t do them often,” Emmeline replied. “In most cases, there’s no need for my help at
home.”
“You seem like a pampered child,” Tony teased. “And Abel, he takes good care of you.”
Emmeline’s expression turned sour at the mention of Abel. She pouted and said, “Please don’t bring him up.”
“What’s wrong? Do you have some kind of grudge against your brother?” Tony continued to smile.
Tony had witnessed Abel’s nervousness and concern for Emmeline when he knew she was with him, especially this

protective.
“I don’t want to see him or hear about him, so please don’t mention him,” Emmeline replied, sniffing.
Tony continued to smile, thinking, What did this guy do to upset his precious sister so much?
Emmeline seemed to believe that Abel didn’t want anything to do with her anymore. She felt like she was left to
fend for herself on the streets, drenched in the rain, and he didn’t care.
This thought was like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, causing her a great deal of pain.
After finishing the cleaning, Tony took Emmeline to the workshop at the back.
Emmeline saw large-format printers, plotters, monochrome printers, and other equipment for the first
time.
“These machines must have cost quite a bit of money,” she asked Tony, looking impressed.
This man, indeed, has ambition.
“We invested a total of over three hundred thousand,” he replied.
“That’s quite a sum,” Emmeline commented. “How long do you expect it will take to recover the costs?”
“Now is a good time. Many shops and supermarkets are starting to operate, and there’s a high demand for large-
scale advertising decoration. I estimate it’ll take about a year,” Tony explained.
“Considering that the average monthly salary for ordinary people at work is just a bit over a thousand, you’ll
recover over three hundred thousand in a year. That’s impressive!” Emmeline exclaimed.

“Emmeline, you haven’t seen the small storefronts on the pedestrian street. Some of them make four or five
thousand a month! People from the south are coming here and selling whatever they can. Business is booming!”
Tony said excitedly.
“That’s a good idea. I might rent a small storefront when the time is right and try my hand at it in my spare time,”
Emmeline said with a smile.
“Absolutely, I fully support that, Emmeline!” Tony said. “But for now, you need to plan the comprehensive
advertising project for the department store. We’ve agreed on a profit-sharing arrangement, so once you complete
that, you’ll have the capital to operate a storefront.”
“That’s a great plan,” Emmeline said, her smile growing wider. “With the right incentives, even a coward can

Tony prepared a cup of tea for Emmeline and invited her to his office on the second floor.
There were several sets of desks and chairs in the second-floor office, but they were lacking staff. There was only a
young man doing graphic design, busily working on his computer, skillfully using shortcut keys.
“Is he the only one doing the design work?” Emmeline asked.
“I’m planning to hire more people, a few graphic designers and advertising salespeople,” Tony replied. “But
advertising is an emerging industry, and many people don’t understand it. They’ll need specialized training.”
Emmeline was curious about Tony’s choice in this industry. “How did you become so forward-thinking in this field?”
“I majored in fine arts in college,” Tony said. “Later, I came into contact with overseas graphic magazines, which
expanded my horizons in this area.”
“It’s true that education is a powerful thing.” Emmeline commented.
“By the way, Emmeline. Tony suddenly brightened up. The Provincial Department of Transportation is organizing an
advertising training program for transportation companies this month. If you’re interested, I can arrange for a
training spot for Altney Transport Company to be assigned to you.”
“Me?” Emmeline hesitated. “But I’m not affiliated with the transportation department.”
