Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 68 Clothing wholesale division

After the matter was settled, they began to prepare dinner. Lin Peipei was moving in tonight, so as the owner of the place, he had to cook a sumptuous meal to entertain the guests.

Li Haitang and Xia Lin made two dishes each. Su Tong made a soup of winter melon ribs. As soon as everything was ready, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Peipei came over with big bags and small bags. He moved the things directly into Li Haitang's room, then went to the bathroom to wash them, and sat down with them to eat with a smile on his face.

After a year at the same table, Li Haitang somewhat understood Lin Peipei and asked with a smile, "What's so happy about?"

Lin Peipei was foolishly happy for a while. Seeing that everyone was holding their chopsticks, he smiled and said, "Eat and talk."

She put a piece of steamed meat in her mouth and gave a thumbs-up before saying, "When I went back, my parents hadn't come home from work yet. Both my brothers went to play with their classmates. No one at home paid attention to my excellent grandmother. She just stood in the hallway and screamed. My next-door neighbor was hot-tempered and had a bad relationship with his neighbors. He worked the night shift, slept at home during the day, and was woken up by my grandmother. In a fit of anger, he took a bucket of sour water from home and poured it on my grandmother, drenched her like a drowned chicken, with rotten vegetables and leaves hanging on her head. Haha, that look of hers really made me laugh."

They: ... "" they spilled water on your grandmother, and you actually laughed so happily

Lin peipei didn't care about their complicated faces and told them, "You don't know. My grandmother used to pour sour water on me, Auntie, just because she disliked the fact that my little aunt's family was a bad person back then and deliberately made things difficult for her to humiliate. So don't think I'm gloating and disrespecting my elders. I really think my grandmother deserves it. Today, she finally got what she deserved."

Hearing what she said, they had no idea. It was said that evil people have their own evil grinding, and now it was good for her to taste the sour water.

"How could your grandmother not be so angry at your house?" Li Haitang gave her a sympathetic look.

Lin Peipei pursed her lips and said, "My grandmother is a typical bully. Our neighbor is tall and powerful. She is quite scary when she is fierce. She yelled at her loudly and scared her to go back to her room and change her clothes. She doesn't even dare to speak loudly."

Li Haitang was speechless, "She didn't dare to speak up to your neighbors. When your parents and brothers go back, she won't take it out on them."

"My grandmother went to the stall where she was changing. I went to the factory to find my parents and brother back together. She looked like she wanted to eat five of us. I told her directly that she made a big fuss here and had been complained to the factory. Today, the leader had called my parents over to talk. If she continued to quarrel, my parents would have to go home and farm, and my brother would not have to study." Lin Peipei felt that he was really smart today, and that he had lied to the best of his abilities.

"Did she believe it?" Everyone knew she was lying, so Su Tong didn't believe her grandmother.

Lin Peipei swallowed the meat in her mouth and smiled, "Believe me, she doesn't know anything. She only knows how to mess around. When she hears that my parents are going to lose their jobs, her arrogance disappears in half in an instant, but she still asks us for two thousand yuan."

The three of them didn't think she was going to give them the money. Lin Peipei was much stronger than her mother.

Sure enough, she continued, "I told her straight away that Lin Peipei earned the money, and it had nothing to do with my parents. I'm just her granddaughter. When I was filial to my elders, I gave as much as I wanted. Even if I didn't give a cent, I didn't break any laws. If she wants to make any more noise, I'll go to the street office and ask the director to come over and say, hehe, she's so angry that her face is crooked."

"It's true that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. It's really the first time I've seen such a grandmother." Su Tong could not understand such a person at all. Her family environment was harmonious and united. She had never seen such a thing or person.

Li Haitang filled a bowl of winter melon soup and blew it. After it cooled down a little, he squinted and took a sip. It was really delicious.

Lin Peipei glanced sideways at her. Is this winter melon soup delicious? She also filled half a bowl and took a sip. It was really good. She said, "Li Haitang, I've already told my parents about opening a clothing wholesale store with you. They all agreed. Tomorrow I'll go to the bank and withdraw the money for you."

"You can send me the money directly, lest I go to the bank to deposit it again." Li Haitang put down the chopsticks in his hand. He could not eat too much at night. He could grow meat easily. It was better to eat less.

Lin peipei nodded and continued to eat.

After everyone finished eating, they cleaned up the kitchen and living room together, and then the four girls took turns to go to the bathroom to wash their clothes.

The next day, at dawn, the team of three turned into four. In the light of the morning, they rode their bikes to school and started their second month of senior two.

Xia Lin was the one who arranged the early stage of the Clothing wholesale division in the provincial city. Although she didn't say it clearly, everyone could guess that her family should have some rights in the provincial city. The lease of the shop was easily settled, and the early stage of the renovation and staff recruitment soon came with good news.

Xia Lin's business was settled, and Li Haitang's supply was also here. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take a month off, the four small bosses went to the provincial capital together.

Their shop had a large area, a conspicuous location and a unique decoration style, especially the large posters hanging at the main entrance.

When the four of them arrived at the door by car, they were all surprised to see the scene inside. Su Tong stared at the fiery scene in front of him in a daze. After a long time, he came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Xia Lin, Li Haitang, Lin Peipei, I'm not mistaken, right? This hot shop is run by the four of us?"

"No mistake." The three of them said in unison.

After confirmation, the smiles on the four girls' faces could not be stopped, and even Xia Lin, who had always been aloof, had an indescribable joy in her voice, "Li Haitang, this poster is very good."

"Haha! It's really good. The four of our bosses are models themselves. The effect is really great. It's no worse than those stars." The word model came out of Li Haitang's mouth, and they thought it was very sneaky.

Li Haitang smiled and said, "Zhou Yunyang's photography skills are really good. We'll treat him to a big meal later."

These photos were taken at school several times during the afternoon. Female students with a face full of collagen, youthful and beautiful appearance, tall and slender figure, various product styles and natural background without any photoshop effect attracted a lot of clothing store owners who came to buy.

"The first three employees in our shop seem to be a little short. They all seem to be a little busy. Should we go and help?" Su Tong asked for everyone's opinion.

Li Haitang smiled and said, "Of course we will. We are the advertising models in the shop. If we go to receive the guests in person, the opening of the shop will be more effective."

"Then let's go." Lin Peipei immediately led the way in.

The store manager in the Clothing wholesale division was someone Xia Lin could trust. When he saw the four of them personally coming to help, he immediately explained the process and product placement to them. After they were all familiar with it, he took them to the publicity reception.

The four of them were quick to get to know each other, and in less than half an hour, they could easily entertain their guests alone. Even xia lin could talk to them. With the help of the four of them, the three employees in the store were much more relaxed.

After the merchants in the provincial city placed the order, they had to pick up the goods on the spot, and they helped deliver the goods to the car before returning. The foreign merchants, on the other hand, placed their orders, paid their bills and left. They had to pack the goods and send them to the nearby transport market, where the trucks would be sent to the counties and cities.

After a busy day, the four of them were exhausted. After casually eating on the roadside, he found a hotel nearby, opened two double rooms, and went to bed early.

The next day, they went to the shop to help for a long time. In the afternoon, they returned to tan city by car.

Two months later, the four of them sat around the charcoal stove and ate their own hot pot together. The hot fog filled the living room. Their green faces were red from the smoke. They ate and laughed as they talked, as if they had something interesting to say forever.

Xia Lin took a piece of cabbage leaf from the pot, blew it gently, and said softly, "I have something to discuss with you."

The three stomach-bellied kings lifted their heads from their bowls at the same time and chewed with their mouths full of vegetables.

"Let's expand the Clothing wholesale division." The store manager was in charge of everything in the provincial and city stores, and Xia Lin was in charge of the financial statements. The three of them only looked at it for the last time.

When the three of them heard this, they said in unison, "Yes."

There was a rare smile in Xia Lin's voice. "We just earned the cost in the last two months. Aren't you afraid that we'll lose all our money if we invest more?"

"If it had been two months ago, I would have been worried, but now, I'm not worried at all." Su Tong had long been impressed by the monthly accounts, and now he had to show off every time he called home.

"Hehe, Su Tong is not worried, so Li Haitang and I are even less worried." Lin Peipei had a big heart. She had already made a decision in her heart: there was fat to eat with Li Haitang.

Li Haitang's mouth was red from eating, and he said with a smile, "Xia Lin, take all the money we've earned in the past two months and expand our business. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it. The two shops next to us are not doing very well. We paid to turn their shops around, open the walls, integrate them, and rent the same size of the shops upstairs."

"So much at once?" According to her, the upper and lower floors were more than 400 square meters in total.

Li Haitang said seriously, "Yes, we should get it quickly before we start renting out the second floor. When it's done, we'll separate the top from the bottom and hang more patterns on the shelves so that the shop doesn't look messy. In addition, a small rest area is set up downstairs. The guests are very tired from shopping. They can take a short break inside and have a cup of tea, snacks and fruits. With such good service, I don't believe that the guests who come in can run away."

They: ... "" it was a brilliant idea. They spent a small amount of money to attract a large number of stable customers

"Okay, I'll call you later." Xia Lin's eyes brightened again.

Li Haitang poured a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and suggested, "Also, after winter break, let's go to Yangcheng together. The clothing industry is developing very fast there. Let's go to several fixed supply factories to cooperate."

Xia Lin thought about it and replied, "Sure."

"Li Haitang, I may not be able to go. I promised my mother that I would go to my grandmother's house after the winter vacation. My grandmother is not in good health, and now each family is taking turns to take care of her. It's my turn to take care of her for half a month during the winter vacation." Su Tong spoke of his difficulties.

Li Haitang nodded, "If you don't want to go home, you can take care of your grandmother. The three of us can go."

"Well, I barely did anything about the shop. It's all up to you. Thank you." Su Tong was very sincere in thanking her. In fact, she knew very well in her heart that this Clothing wholesale division, they have money and someone can handle it alone.

"Su Tong, who are the four of us talking to? Don't be so outspoken." Lin Peipei was the most impatient and expressed his dissatisfaction decisively.

Su Tong smirked and shut her mouth. She was right. In fact, she didn't like this kind of polite talk very much.

Li Haitang put down the bowl and chopsticks, rubbed his bulging stomach and sighed, "You're eating too much. Su Tong, if you feel embarrassed, then you can do all the work in the kitchen tonight. Well, there aren't many dishes to wash, so there's probably only one or twenty."

Su tong rolled her eyes as she ate. One or twenty bowls were not enough. There were only twenty bowls in their house, okay? Besides, it's going to take less than half an hour to eat hotpot tonight.

"Haha..." Lin Peipei laughed gloatingly, not concealing his own evilness. "Su Tong, this is your punishment. You deserve it."

Xia Lin did not say a word. He stood up calmly and walked back and forth around the house as if taking a walk to eat.
