Chapter 114 Why do they live such a good life?

"Don't you have any local specialties to offer?" Jiang Xixi's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Where do you put the silk that HA City has developed over thousands of years and is known as the pride of Huai'an?"

But on second thought, she could understand Manager Wang's intentions.

It was only a matter of time before we started doing skincare business together in Huai'an.

The success of this sales pilot program in Beijing has brought in a considerable amount of foreign exchange for the Friendship Store there.

Within that system, she couldn't believe that Manager Wang hadn't heard that Friendship Store's performance was now based on foreign exchange; to put it simply, promotions and raises depended on this foreign exchange.

She would only be suspicious if Manager Wang didn't have any ulterior motives.

"Sure, since there's a need here, I'll definitely obey the instructions of my superiors." Seeing that Jiang Xixi didn't say anything more after that, Manager Wang gave a wry smile.

This girl~

"Xixi, you know we can't compare to the capital. Could you lower the usage fee and profit sharing a bit? Otherwise, our store's finances really can't handle it." He had originally planned for Jiang Xixi to propose a price first, and then he would try to negotiate a lower price based on the original price, but who would have thought that she wouldn't take the bait at all.

With no other option, Manager Wang had to take matters into his own hands.

However, whoever speaks first loses the initiative!

"Manager Wang, as you know, I've already signed a contract with the company in Beijing. If they find out that I offered different prices to both sides, I'll be in a difficult position. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Jiang Xixi plopped back down in her chair, resting her hands on her knees, looking quite troubled.

Seeing Manager Wang's anxious and agitated expression after hearing this, Jiang Xixi changed the subject again, "However, it's not like there's no room for maneuver."

Upon hearing these words, Manager Wang's previously dejected demeanor instantly transformed into excitement. He stared intently at Jiang Xixi, making her feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Manager Wang, we've cooperated so many times, so I'll be frank with you. I can reduce the usage fee for the skincare products, but the profit sharing is non-negotiable."

"If I reduce your usage fee, I can tell people that the sales market in Beijing is much larger than in Huai'an. But as for the profit sharing, I can't exactly tell people that I'm an old acquaintance of yours, Manager Wang, so I'm thinking of giving you a smaller share!" Seeing that Manager Wang seemed quite tempted by these words, Jiang Xixi quickly interrupted him before he could speak.

"If I say that, who will want to cooperate with me in the future? Manager Wang, I consider you a business partner, so don't you dare betray me!"

Having said all that, what could Manager Wang say but could only smile wryly and agree?

However, after both parties signed the contract, Jiang Xixi, as a partner who had cooperated many times, gave Manager Wang a sales idea as a final gift.

"Xixi, do you mean to use silk scraps to make skincare product packaging boxes? Is that even feasible?" Manager Wang expressed his doubts. It was only because of Jiang Xixi that he dared to say such a thing; if anyone else had dared to say it, he would have kicked them out.

Do you know how expensive silk is? And you're using it as packaging? You really have too much money to burn!

"I was just saying. You can make a small batch to test it out first. Anyway, there's still some time before the central delegation arrives. Besides, I was talking about silk scraps. Most of your silk is used to make clothes, right? After the clothes are made, the scraps left over are useless. Isn't this also a way to make use of waste? Moreover, I suggest that you design a special logo for the HA City Friendship Store and have the embroiderers embroider it on the packaging. This way, it can be distinguished from the ones in the capital and become a unique symbol of Huai'an. Secondly, it's also a way to advertise."

Manager Wang was no fool to have become the manager of Friendship Store.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this is a win-win situation. So, he no longer cares about the high usage fee and revenue sharing fee he just paid.

The way he looked at Jiang Xixi was like he was looking at a god of wealth!

...

As Jiang Xixi walked out of the Friendship Store, she inadvertently saw a row of particularly eye-catching down jackets. Thinking about the increasingly cold weather, she paused and led Wei Laicheng to the down jacket rack.

"Please bring this down jacket down for me." Jiang Xixi was pointing to a light blue down jacket, which had a very nice design.

Wearing a down jacket feels like the cold wind is kept out, leaving only warmth.

"Wei Laicheng, what do you think of these clothes?" Before Wei Laicheng could answer, the saleswoman spoke up first.

"Oh my, you're the best-looking person I've ever seen in this down jacket. It looks like it was made just for you. How can it look so good?" The saleswoman wasn't lying. Jiang Xixi had fair skin, and the light blue color complemented her complexion perfectly. Plus, with her shapely figure, she looked truly beautiful.

Jiang Xixi just smiled and didn't say anything, turning her gaze to Wei Laicheng, wanting to hear what he had to say.

At this moment, Wei Laicheng looked at his wife, unable to stop smiling, and upon closer inspection, his eyes were filled with amazement.

"It looks good, let's buy this one."

"Wait, let me take another look."

Why buy this only for her and not for Wei Laicheng? If they go out in a bit, one of them will be wearing a down jacket and the other will be wearing an old cotton-padded coat. People who don't know them will think they are a young lady from a wealthy family and her long-term servant. They are not a good match at all.

Her gaze fell on the men's down jacket next to her, and almost instantly, Jiang Xixi's eyes were drawn to a black down jacket.

The style of this black down jacket is very similar to the light blue one she's wearing...

"Take that down jacket down and let him try it on."

"Okay, sure."

As it turns out, Jiang Xixi had excellent taste. The moment Wei Laicheng put it on, a tall, elegant, and refined gentleman appeared before everyone.

Jiang Xixi nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, these two are fine. Wrap them up for us!"

"Xixi, I'll buy it for you, I don't need to," Wei Laicheng stopped him, saying that it would be a waste for him to wear this outfit to work.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Xixi glared at him, and Wei Laicheng backed down. But the corners of his mouth that were grinning at him looked smug.

Having bought down jackets, they naturally had to wear them. The two of them immediately took off their thick cotton-padded coats and put on the newly bought down jackets.

You know what, you really have to admit, clothes really do make the man.

When he came in, he looked like a country bumpkin visiting the city, but now that he's leaving, he really looks like some kind of official or leader on an inspection tour.

Didn't you see that the sales clerks next to you are all on high alert?

So much so that when their old friend Jiang Yurou saw the two of them as soon as they stepped out of the Friendship Store, her expression was one of utter ferocity and resentment.

"Look at what they're wearing, those are the latest down jackets this year, I heard they cost several hundred yuan each, those two are really willing to spend that much."

The speaker was Chen Wenli, who looked at Jiang Yurou and Wei Laicheng, who were wearing down jackets, with envy on his face.

"Several hundred yuan?" Jiang Yurou was shocked. Although she knew that the two down jackets were not cheap, she did not expect them to be so expensive.

Even before the Jiang family's misfortune, it would have been impossible for them to come up with so much money to buy her clothes.

Jiang Yurou felt even more upset.

No matter what happened in her past life, it was always Jiang Xixi who envied Jiang Yurou, and it was always Jiang Yurou who lived a good life.

How come she's living a worse life than she did in her previous one?

And how could Wei Laicheng, that poor wretch, afford such nice clothes?

Suddenly, Jiang Yurou became excited and pulled Chen Wenli toward the city's transportation team.

Wei Laicheng must have done something he shouldn't have done; she's going to report him!

Why do they live such a good life?
