Chapter 736 - 705: New Project_4

Little Star occasionally goes to her house to play with her daughter, and because of this, Lin Wan finally got to talk to this Saozi.

A year passed, and Lin Wan smoothly integrated into the new environment.

Han Yi worked for two weeks straight, and by the time he took a break, it was already past the sixteenth.

Little Star was also about to start school; after discussing, the couple decided to let her continue at the original school. Xiao Wan would pick her up and drop her off every day. Although the distance is a bit farther, they have a car, so it’s manageable. On Little Star’s first day of school, Lin Wan drove her there. The teachers at the daycare saw her for the first time. They all knew Little Star’s dad is quite handsome, but they didn’t expect her mom to be even more attractive.

No wonder they have such a beautiful daughter.

After getting to know the teachers at the daycare, Lin Wan drove back to Mom’s house. Now she doesn’t need to manage things in S City, with time suddenly on her hands and nothing to do, Lin Wan felt like a headless fly. Sometimes she’d go to the restaurant to check things out, sometimes she’d come back to help Mom tidy up the house, or she’d help Saozi with the kids.

Luckily, after discussing the hotel business with Saozi before the year ended, she took it seriously. Now, right after the New Year, Saozi started preparing for the hotel business, which is perfect since Lin Wan was worried about having nothing to do. After dropping off Little Star, she would help Saozi with the kids during the day.

Mom is currently looking for a nanny, but hasn’t found the right one yet.

If you hire the wrong nanny, the house will be full of trouble later on.

After returning from Capital City, Mom said she’s planning to open a shop there. She said her godmother has nothing to do at home and keeps overthinking. She plans to find something to do for herself.

So, Mom thought about opening a restaurant.

But godmother hasn’t done this before, so Mom’s idea is to let her first learn about how other people’s restaurants work around her place. Once she becomes familiar, then starting her own won’t be too late.

Lin Wan and her brother both think this is a great idea.

During her free time, Lin Wan called over to S City to inquire about the situation at the factory.

As the new year is just starting, business isn’t much. Su Ling replenished the young inventory that was lacking. She is already arranging for Xiao Wan to get started on the designs for the next season.

Talking about clothing, Lin Wan remembered Wang Leqin, perhaps she could go over there to find some inspiration.

Lin Wan picked a day when Saozi was home and rode her bicycle to the department store. She found Wang Leqin in a rather large store on the second floor.

Wang Leqin’s shop this time is a full two hundred square meters.

There are quite a few plastic mannequins inside, and the decoration is pretty nice.

"Leqin, how much is your store’s monthly rent?"

"Fifty a month. Although the price is a bit high, business is good here. It just opened recently, and there’s already a constant flow of people. Nowadays, I can almost sell goods every day."

Wang Leqin was especially happy to see Lin Wan come, and she took her around the shop. "These are the styles I’ve been designing for quite some time. What do you think?" Wang Leqin said, pointing to one of the traditional wedding outfits. "Look at this one, I just made it by the end of the year, isn’t it nice?"

Lin Wan noticed that Wang Leqin’s designs have improved a lot compared to before. "Not bad, how is this one selling?"

"I just put two sets in the store the day before yesterday, and one has already sold. Now I’m watching over the store alone, studying at night, and replenishing inventory. It’s killing me."

"Why not hire someone? Plus, you can even look for an old tailor. Whenever you have new designs, just have her make them."

"I’m afraid if I hand over my designs to her, she might leak my things out, and then it won’t be worth the risk."

"You could register a trademark, similar to registering your shop’s name. You can totally apply for a trademark, and once you have new designs, you can print your trademark on them. If anyone imitates or copies them, you can definitely file a complaint."

"Can I really do that?"

"That’s how my clothing is done."

Wang Leqin dedicates herself daily to studying bridal gowns, but she does struggle with business management since she doesn’t know people in this field.

Now with Lin Wan giving her some pointers, she’s learned many things.

Her bridal gown store here is quite profitable every month; hiring two people would be very easy.

Wang Leqin felt that Lin Wan’s advice made sense; the classes she’s taking now not only teach professional knowledge but also a lot about the business skills. She’s been studying seriously.

It was Lin Wan’s first visit to the department store, and she realized the foot traffic here is indeed substantial.

Instead of being idle here, why not open a "Wanyi" boutique here too? Lin Wan noticed there was still an empty spot on the first floor. She wondered if it was already rented out.

This idea flashed through Lin Wan’s mind but she didn’t pay much attention to it.

After coming back from the department store, Lin Wan went to check out the hotel.

The business license is already registered under the name "Yingpin Hotel", and Lin Wan and Saozi had a discussion about it. They decided not to have big group rooms.

They only have double bed rooms, two-person beds, and three-person beds. Plus one luxury suite. Each room must have a TV.

Inside, they’ll use white sheets for bedding; once someone checks in, regardless of cleanliness, the bedsheets must be changed daily.

The beds and desks are relatively cheap and can be uniformly made by a carpenter as they provide the materials. With sixteen rooms per floor, totaling thirty-two rooms, the carpenter costs are roughly around seven to eight hundred. Those spring mattresses are a bit pricier, one costs twenty, totaling more than one thousand.
