Yeah, as long as heās not like his parents!
The next day, Han Yi opened an account in Mei Chunhuaās name and deposited the money, then wrote a letter to Mr. Li Liang.
He sent the passbook and the letter by express mail and told them to withdraw the money as soon as they received it and open a new account.
Han Yi is not afraid theyāll spend it recklessly; his words are full of warnings, knowing their workplace, home address, so their every move is within his surveillance. Every sentence warns them not to misuse the money, as itās left by Hua Huaās mom for her son.
After Lu Guoqi gave the money to Han Yi, he took advantage of his day off to find a few people and knocked through the two rooms of their west wing, repainting and laying new tiles. He also enlarged the doors and tidied up the three rooms and kitchen they live in.
After all, their courtyard will have people coming and going in the future, and they should leave a good impression; the exterior shouldnāt look too shabby and dilapidated. Plus, Huang Jiao painted the walls of the courtyard with eighty centimeters of lime, drew some dance figures on it, wrote some messages related to dance, replanned the ground, and planted flowers and a fruit tree. It creates a refreshing feeling, so parents wonāt feel like itās a small-time operation as soon as they enter.
These cost them one or two hundred yuan, which was Lu Guoqiās initial reason for borrowing so much money directly from Han Yi.
During the construction period, Lu Guoqi and Han Yi greeted each other, then he took his wife over.
Itās rare for Han Yiās battle buddies to visit home; Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing went to the market early to prepare more dishes to entertain guests.
Han Yi didnāt go to the troops today; Lin Wan is in confinement but still wants to see guests, so she canāt dress too casually. She changed into a comfortable home outfit, with a towel wrapped around her head.
This hair canāt be combed, so itās just makeshift.
It was Huang Jiaoās first time meeting Han Yi and Lin Wan, so she felt a bit reserved upon arrival but relaxed a lot after seeing the baby in Lin Wanās arms.
She kept staring at the little one, really wanted to hold it, but was afraid sheād hold it wrong since she had no experience. "So cute, Guo Qi and I have been thinking of having one too, but considering heās always moving around, he wonāt be able to take care of me. So weāre thinking of waiting until heās settled before having one."
"Waiting a bit is good too; itās a great time to cultivate your relationship. Now that Brother Lu is transferred to Capital City, it wonāt be easy to be reassigned, right?"
"Yeah, heāll definitely mingle in the Capital City circles, but my job is hard to arrange, hence weāre considering buying a house here and opening a dance class."
"My daughter is starting first grade today. Families now have better living conditions and are willing to spend on their children. In our factory, last yearās sales showed childrenās clothing selling better than adultās clothing."
"Yes, it was when I met a classmate some time ago that I got this idea to do it. Honestly, Iām a bit anxious about it all. I used to be a teacher and never knew how to recruit students for myself." Huang Jiao says honestly. As a teacher, she always felt superior, especially in front of parents and students. Now facing parents over tuition fees made her uneasy.
"Thereās nothing shameful about opening our own dance class. You have a teaching qualification, thatās your advantage. If you have any awards, you can post them in your dance class, giving you confidence when introducing yourself to parents. Actually, thereās no need to discuss prices with them. You can design a flyer, get it printed, and clearly list the courses and activity prices. The initial price can be attractive, and maybe offer some small gifts for signup. But I donāt understand your industry situation; itās just that some new stores have opened this past year, and they do publicity this way."
"Sister-in-law Lin, listening to you gives me more confidence. Guo Qi is completely right; youāre an amazing woman. My Guo Qi often tells me about your past stories. Thatās partly why I gave up my formal job and ventured out on my own, influenced by you."
"Me?" Lin Wan didnāt expect Lu Guoqi to tell his wife about when she first started messing with clothes. Couldnāt help but find it amusing
"Iām not as awesome as Brother Lu says. When I started, many family and friends helped me a lot. The little success I have now is inseparable from their support."
"Sister-in-law Lin, please donāt be modest with me. We live not far from S City, and after marrying Guo Qi, I often visit S City to see him, passing by your factory each time. From afar, itās apparent your factory is doing well. Oh, Iām just doing small-scale things. Once the dance class opens, Iāll probably stick with this little class for life."
"Why canāt the dance class grow bigger? Look, now many private schools are gradually entering our view. In the future, if itās done well, we can open one elsewhere without teaching ourselves. We can hire teachers to teach. Moreover, besides dance, we can add painting, calligraphy, various programs taught by hired experts." Lin Wan smiled at Huang Jiao. These are common business models in later generations, and if done well, brands can be established and franchised. Lin Wan didnāt mention this to Huang Jiao, fearing sheād get confused by the big talk.
