"Okay, H City is doable," Lin Wan pondered for a moment and felt it was feasible. H City, being next to another province, had more frequent commercial exchanges compared to S City, and Sister Xie was always a smart person.
"The summer styles for the past few years have been set. We are currently preparing the materials, and once we complete a batch, we will send it to you. Right now, our factory has only one truck, which is really not enough," Lin Wan suggested to Su Ling last time to buy a truck when she returned.
Now that business has increased, one truck is indeed not enough.
"Letâs manage with it for now; we still have the land debt. We can buy another one in a year."
"Thatâs true. By the way, the foundation of the land you bought has been laid. Arenât you coming back to take a look?"
Lin Wan had Ying Han design the piece of land she signed for when she returned. Ying Han, upon hearing that she wanted to build a small industrial park to rent out later, was surprised and complimented her for being shrewd.
Ying Hanâs designs have always been to her liking, and this time was no exception. The piece of land, aside from the parking area, included an office building, and behind it were two three-story interconnected buildings. Small companies and workshops could easily operate and produce there.
"Iâll wait until the day the beam is raised to go back. For now, Iâll finish dealing with the affairs here first."
"Sure, call me if you need anything there," Su Ling said over the phone before heading directly to the business department for a meeting.
The production needs to keep up, and the business side needs attention too.
"Whatâs going on? Didnât you say you found a place?"
"We were almost settled. I intended to negotiate the price a bit more, but after not going for two days, he sold it. We have to start looking again," Ye Qing and Yang Ting were conversing. Although Yang Ting knew about the things Ye Qing was doing, it didnât affect her much as she was just interested in earning money with her. She didnât care about the familyâs affairs.
In the past two months, Ye Qing had found a rundown courtyard near home, bought a few pieces of equipment, and hired a few people to make shoes.
A batch of their shoes was already made, and Yang Ting had placed quite a lot of them with merchants she knew. Their shoes were of good quality and had attractive designs; now they just lacked customers.
"What should we do? That place was nice, and without it, weâll have to spend time searching for another one," Yang Ting grumbled at Ye Qing.
"What else can we do? Why donât we rent a counter inside? We donât have much money anyway. Renting a counter is fitting."
"Thatâs the only option now," the counters inside were similar to those in S City, small brick houses. For wholesale shoes, they couldnât hold many pairs.
"Letâs get started quickly; when the weather heats up, itâs peak shopping time."
"I got it. I wonât say more. I have to go pick up Hua Hua," Ye Qingâs words made Yang Ting roll her eyes inwardly. Just an illegitimate child, yet she was so attentive.
If it werenât for her cousin being in the labor reform camp, unable to get a divorce, she wouldnât be her cousinâs sister-in-law anymore.
She wanted to make money, but truly connecting with Ye Qing was impossible. Being together was just for benefits.
Ye Qing certainly understood this too. As the saying goes, when a wall crashes, people push. Thatâs exactly her situation now.
Itâs just mutual exploitation; itâs only temporary. Once she accumulates a certain client base, it wonât matter if itâs Yang Ting or Li Ting; theyâll all have to go.
The lack of a place was indeed troublesome. Besides having to find another place these days, she also had to worry about Hua Huaâs situation.
The child was about to have a school break, and she had to work and manage the workshopâs affairs; the child was a big problem.
The immediate urgency was finding a nanny.
She didnât even know if there was a short-term nanny around here! Besides, she also wanted to go to Mei Langchiâs place.
....
"Aunt, Iâll count on you for the house. Actually, it doesnât need much work. Just mainline adjustments and a layer of paint,"
"Donât worry, Iâll find someone for you in the next two days."
"Okay, okay,"
Recently, Lin Wan was also busy beyond measure. With the kids on break, she had to trouble her mom again. Mom didnât frequently visit the store now, helping Sister Liu with Tuan Tuan at home. Meanwhile, she kept an eye on the kids.
Just at this time, her mom was at home, allowing Sister Liu a monthâs break. Mom took Tuan Tuan and Xingxing to Uncleâs place. These days, her aunt helped her with house matters, and Shuoshuo also needed care.
Grandparents were getting older; they could manage watching the kids for a while, but for an extended period, those energetic kids were hard to handle for their frail bodies.
