At sixteen, Liu Suqin graduated from junior high and went south with her cousin to work. Like most factory girls, she met a young male colleague she liked, quickly fell in love, got married, and th...
Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Cooperation?
Julie waved enthusiastically, "Hurry up and get in the car! We're going to the mall to do some shopping first. President Su has booked a restaurant for lunch and will personally welcome you."
Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang knew the car was most likely Mr. Su's. It was truly his style, a reckless extravagance. Liu Suqin couldn't help but laugh. "It's been two years since we last came to Gangcheng, and Mr. Su hasn't forgotten this meal yet. He has a really good memory."
Julie also joked, "If you had come earlier, the boss wouldn't have been thinking about it for so long."
Seeing how nonchalant they were about the dinner, Lin Nanjiang breathed a sigh of relief as he held his daughter in his arms and sat in the back, leaving the front row for the two ladies to chat.
He had only met his wife's former boss a few times and had no real contact with her. He didn't admire her personality and charm as much as she did. Therefore, he kept a distance from such a big shot. When he suddenly learned that he had to keep an appointment with the other party, he felt a little pressured.
However, the relaxed and casual attitude of Liu Suqin and Zhu Li made him feel much more relaxed. He thought that even if Mr. Su was not as approachable as his wife said, he should not be too difficult to get along with. So he would follow his wife with peace of mind, act as a family member, and take care of himself and his daughter quietly, so that his wife could reminisce with them to her heart's content.
At least I can still get a big meal, it’s worth it.
Lin Nanjiang, who had found a good position for himself, saw Afeng who came with the boss in the restaurant parking lot, and he knew that he was thinking too much. If the leader who could make his wife "still miss him" after leaving the job for several years was going to personally entertain their family, how could he let such a living person sit on the bench?
Now we have called Afeng to come along. With a male compatriot and good friend as his companion, he doesn't have to feel out of place among the ladies alone.
Lin Nanjiang was half surprised and half touched. He immediately carried his daughter to meet Afeng. As soon as the two met, they started talking non-stop, from the parking lot to the restaurant box. The topic also changed from several luxury car models that he had caught a glimpse of in the parking lot to photography, which they were both interested in.
Xiao Fangfang also listened to the latter topic with great interest and occasionally interjected a few words.
Dad is a photography enthusiast, and my uncle and Uncle Afeng are more professional than each other. Even my mother and Uncle Quansheng are knowledgeable about cameras and photography. Xiao Fangfang has been influenced by such a strong atmosphere since she was a child, and she once treated the camera as an ordinary toy.
Qian Juxiang didn't dare touch the camera at home easily, and was also wary of her husband and youngest son from touching it, for fear that they would not be able to afford the compensation if they broke the little thing. However, every time Xiao Fangfang fiddled with the camera, they would just stand by carefully to prevent the little one from accidentally bumping into it and breaking it, but they would not say anything to stop her behavior.
It's not that Qian Juxiang doesn't want to. She has complained to the couple privately. It would be fine if they just bought a few more sets of clothes and skirts, but they let the child play with a camera worth thousands of dollars like a toy. It's a bit too pampering.
But Liu Suqin did not listen to her mother's one-sided story. She took the time to observe and found that her daughter was using the camera normally and did not damage it intentionally. She also promised her that she would take good care of the camera and let the child do what she wanted. Cameras are bought to be used. As long as it is not intentional, it is not easy to break if it is dropped. If it is really broken, it can be sent for repair. This is the good thing about products made in shopping malls. The after-sales service is very convenient.
Qian Juxiang had no choice but to turn to find Lin Nanjiang. She thought that her son-in-law didn't smoke or drink, and the car bought by the family was driven by his wife. He also rode a small tricycle around. His biggest hobby after work was photography, and his biggest expense was also in this area. He had bought several new cameras in recent years. The fourth brother once accidentally let it slip in front of her that if her brother-in-law continued to buy like this, in two years, the total amount of money would be enough for him to buy himself a car.
Liu Ping quickly changed the subject mid-sentence, thinking Qian Juxiang hadn't heard clearly. Actually, Qian Juxiang was just playing dumb. Even if she had heard clearly, what difference would it make? As a mother-in-law, she couldn't dictate to her son-in-law's wallet.
Besides, she doesn't have the face to do so. Her daughter wears gold and silver and drives a car all day long, but her son-in-law never says anything. He just buys himself a new camera every year. He is considered to be very frugal.
However, through this incident, Qian Juxiang also knew how much Lin Nanjiang loved photography. He must also treasure his camera very much and would not let his children treat his treasure as a toy.
However, Qian Juxiang miscalculated again. Lin Nanjiang really treasured his camera. He looked conflicted for a long time, but finally decided to respect his daughter's hobby.
My baby daughter also likes taking photos. Needless to say, she must have inherited it from him. Let the little one figure it out on her own, and they can learn from each other in the future.
Qian Juxiang: ...
The couple didn't take money seriously, and Qian Juxiang gave up on it. She allowed Xiao Fangfang to mess with her father's treasured collection, and at most stopped her when she showed signs of destroying the house.
But she hasn't encountered this situation yet.
Xiao Fangfang has always taken good care of her toys. She knows to be very careful when changing the dress and wig of her doll named "Lily" so as not to "hurt" her little friend. Moreover, she promised her mother that she would not break her father's precious camera, so she naturally keeps her word.
After a long time, Qian Juxiang completely let go, and Xiao Fangfang became more and more capable.
Although she is young, she already has her own aesthetic sense. She loves taking pictures of her mother the most. Most of the time, the composition of the photos she takes is good, above the passing line. Occasionally, she will have a flash of inspiration and can make Liu Suqin look particularly lively and beautiful, which is something that cannot be achieved with skills. Those who know a little about it all praise the little girl's work. Liu Suqin also likes it very much, and specially made it into a photo frame and placed it on the bedside.
Every time she looked at the photo frame, Liu Suqin’s inner anticipation grew a little bit. She wondered what she would be like when she grew up.
She must be an extremely bright, confident and good girl.
I really hope that when she wakes up, she will have become a graceful young girl, and they can go shopping, travel, watch movies and performances together, and take beautiful photos in different countries and cities.
By the way, she also wants to register a social media account and post photos of the mother and daughter traveling together to see if anyone will compliment them on looking like sisters.
But that's all in the future. Right now, Xiao Fangfang was listening attentively to her father and uncle talking about photography. Her mother on the other side was not idle either. She was chatting excitedly with Julie and the others about her experiences and gains from this trip abroad. Then the topic shifted to shopping and beauty.
All three of them are beautiful, fashionable and wealthy, and they can talk about these things forever.
While chatting, Liu Suqin got an unexpected opportunity.
Because of her relationship with Julie, Liu Suqin knew that President Su wanted to develop other industries recently. She also believed that she had no shortage of connections and relationships, and as long as she had an idea, she would be able to make it happen. So when talking about beauty salons, she couldn't help but open up and talk about her views on the beauty salons in Shenzhen.
Yes, Liu Suqin also started going to the beauty salon.
In her previous life, she had seen pigs run even though she had never eaten pork. She had also gone to enjoy spa and other services with her daughter. She could not stand the simple and crude rhetoric and services of beauty salons today. Moreover, the employees could not even explain the origin of their own products clearly. They just knew how to brag about the efficacy, saying that so-and-so used it every day and the effect was so great. This made Liu Suqin suspect that their products were three-no. It would be fine if such an expensive essence cream was neither effective nor detrimental, but she was afraid that it contained hormones or something, which would ruin her face if used too much. Therefore, she never bought products from beauty salons, nor did she try out their products at home. She just used beauty equipment regularly.
Nowadays, beauty salons mainly promote laser beauty devices, photorejuvenation and hair removal. Liu Suqin regularly does the first two projects and is very satisfied with the results. When talking about the beauty salon, she told General Manager Su her suggestions. First of all, she affirmed the other party's foresight in entering the beauty industry. This will definitely be a highly profitable industry in the future. She believes that the profit is higher than that of wedding photography, and the competition is not so fierce because it is necessary to import equipment from abroad. This alone can keep many people who want to follow the trend out.
Mr. Su not only has connections, but also has sufficient funds to support him, which allows him to import the most advanced equipment and build a high-end brand. In addition, there are still many truly useful cinema products abroad that can be introduced back together. So, even expensive products without any quality assurance will not lack customers, and the truly good products will have no shortage of market.
She also suggested that Mr. Su look at the entire medical beauty and plastic surgery industry.
Beauty salons are of course well known for their huge profits, but plastic surgery is even more profitable. I heard that any plastic surgeon can earn a starting monthly income of 100,000 yuan. I can’t imagine how rich the owner of a plastic surgery hospital can be.
Since Mr. Su has the ability, why not choose to take them all?
First, open a few beauty salons to test the waters, accumulate customers and reputation, and when the time is right, open a specialized plastic surgery hospital, offering hyaluronic acid, double eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, and nose augmentation. Then you can just sit back and count the money.
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and President Su listened attentively. Finally, he propped his chin up and asked, "Your idea is very good, why don't you do it yourself?"
Liu Suqin: ...
Is it because she doesn't want to? It's because her family doesn't have the channels and funds.
Just when her heart ached to the point of bleeding, President Su said in a light tone, "You have such a great plan, and I'm not short of channels and funds. How about we cooperate?"
