Chapter 563 - 547: Certainty

"If business really gets bad, I’ll come out and do our clothing business, how about that?"

"Of course that would be great, with that glib tongue of yours, our family’s clothes would definitely sell well." Yin Peibai really envied her job at the factory. When she takes leave, there’s always someone to cover for her. Not like her government unit. If she takes too much leave, the leaders up top definitely have opinions. It took her a lot of sweet-talking her colleagues to switch shifts for two days.

"I think it’s doable," Su Ling smiled.

"Xiao Wan, how are we planning to sell these older kids’ clothes?" Yin Peibai looked at the fabrics next to her, in light purple, with prints of little white rabbits and small yellow ducks.

"Wholesale for older kids, I’ve already calculated the costs, three yuan per piece. Shorts six yuan each."

"Summer clothes are cheap, with less profit, unlike autumn and winter clothes which have bigger margins," Su Ling remarked.

"You don’t say, why don’t you talk about how autumn and winter clothes use more fabric?"

"Actually, in the clothing business, holding inventory is quite serious. From July we need to start clearing inventory."

"What if we can’t clear it all?"

"If we can’t clear it, money will be tied up, but these clothes can still sell if it comes to summer. Or in winter, we can bundle them with winter clothes, sell them attached, or add one or two yuan, this way even though we sell fewer pieces, we won’t have stockpile issues."

Lin Wan’s words impressed Yin Peibai and Su Ling greatly. "Xiao Wan, you’re too clever, from now we’ll follow you and work hard together. We’ll make big money."

"Don’t worry, no problem," speaking of the future, Lin Wan was full of hope and anticipation.

Another round of sewing started, and two others who often worked there quit their jobs at the factory, directly taking long-term work from her. From morning to night, they could make fifty to sixty pieces.

Calculation shows, in a month just processing fees can take close to a hundred yuan.

The weather suddenly became hot these days, their clothes, with some newly added styles, instead became unsalable. Because it’s too hot, most people don’t want to go outside.

Entering June, they’re soon have holiday.

This day, Aunt Jin came over, saying the paperwork for the house is finished. "I discussed with your Uncle Jin, your little friend Shuhua, right? She wanted to lease our place, and we agreed. If she doesn’t mind, there’s no need to separate, just share the storefront, then sell separately, this way it won’t seem monotonous."

"Aunt Jin, okay, I’ll talk to her tomorrow, that girl thought you weren’t agreeing, she’s been busy looking for a place these days. Aunt Jin, does the house need to reorganize?"

"Of course, I was just about to say, your uncle said you have a good eye, seen the world, we’re thinking of remodeling it like your hotpot restaurant."

Lin Wan held her forehead, laughed, "Aunt Jin, my house is not suitable for pastry business use, if you trust me, just give me the key, leave the rest to me."

"Alright, alright, with you around, we’re assured."

"At that time, Little Star, take care for me, the store’s relying on you."

"Aunt Jin, every time I drop Little Star at your home, my mother-in-law visits on Sundays and always grumbles at me." Lin Wan commented, having too many people help take care of the child is also a bothersome matter.

"Haha, she just doesn’t have my freedom, if she wants the child, let her come to my home herself." This year, Shen Qing became much more cheerful, occasionally making jokes when meeting her, unlike before.

...

Ye Qing has been secretly selling and looking for houses these two days.

She understands Liang Weixiang’s mouth very well, she’ll likely tell her dad once she returns. She can’t let her dad find them.

So the best way is to change locations.

In these two days, she saw a suite in a unit floor, a new batch of houses, with added things like radiators, claiming it’s a new government project, in winter, although it’s below ten degrees outside, inside it’s warm like summer.

But this set is not from their unit, it’s the family compound from the tax department, a colleague she knows from work helped inquire. It’s not easy to be allocated a suite. Good thing they know the tax department director. Although the process is complex, it’s doable. The asking price isn’t low, four thousand eight.

So she’s asking a high price for the small courtyard she’s selling. A few families came to look, most think it’s too expensive. But Ye Qing insists, not lowering at all.

Seeing the house on that side being secured soon, but this side hasn’t progressed, Ye Qing finally found Li Liang, planning to let Li Liang be the sucker.

"Weren’t we supposed to not contact each other? Why find me? You know if my fierce wife finds out, neither of us will end well." Li Liang now fears meeting Ye Qing, this troublesome woman.

"Didn’t you say otherwise when your wife was pregnant last year?" Ye Qing sneered, looked up at Li Liang, only after a few months, he’s grown so haggard, thus she deliberately brushed his collar, saying, "Weren’t you planning to divorce that fierce wife? What, can’t even cope with your own spouse?"

Li Liang was irritated hearing this, slapped Ye Qing’s hand away, "Damn it, that bitch is just a shrew, always calling her gang of brothers over to make a fuss at home. I’ve long wanted to divorce."

"Frankly, it’s because you’re incapable." Ye Qing didn’t resist, she came today to achieve her purpose, regardless of the means, anyway, she’s done such things before.

"When I strike it rich, the first thing is to kick her out. So say it, what’s the matter this time?" Li Liang isn’t stupid, no one comes here without a reason, especially someone like Ye Qing.

Ye Qing alluringly glanced at him, "You got that right, but this time you must help me succeed."

"Why don’t you find the soldier, he’s more capable than me." Li Liang doesn’t want to get involved.

"In some matters, I feel we have more in common, recently, I need to sell a house, priced at five thousand. Help me find a sure buyer."

"The suite you’re staying in now?" Li Liang pondered, furrowing his brows.

"Yes, sell it for five thousand and I’ll promise to leave this city and never appear before you again."

"Seriously leaving?"

Ye Qing nodded, "Of course, Mei Langchi promised to marry me, I will definitely be by his side."

From around four or five in the afternoon till past eight, after finishing, Ye Qing picked up her handbag, rode her bike home.

As soon as she entered, she found her mom anxiously pacing in the courtyard.

Ye Qing leisurely parked her bike, asked, "Mom, what’s up, where’s Hua Hua?"

"Ah Qing, you’re finally back, that military man of yours is in the house," Qiu Hualan upon seeing her daughter, quickly whispered to her ear, "Why did you come back so late today?"

Made Ye Qing a bit startled, she quickly touched her slightly flushed face, cleared her throat, immediately showing a natural smile, said, "Mom, seriously, if I came back late, why not chat with him inside, after all, he’s soon to become your son-in-law."

"I... I got intimidated by his aura, talking was just gibberish, and the words mismatched." Qiu Hualan shook her head as she spoke.

"You didn’t tell him where I went, right?" Although she went to see Li Liang today, her mom didn’t know, she still felt a bit guilty.
