Chapter 79 Fulfilling 4

The next sentence was purely to tease the boy. She could tell that he had never been in a relationship before and seemed too inexperienced.

Then, Qu Changlin walked away with a pout.

Does he, a virgin, not even deserve to date her? A mistress? He doesn't want that!

Although he rejected Ning Yan, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. After thinking about it all night, he finally decided to talk to Ning Yan again. After all, he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

He swore he had never seen a woman like that in his entire life. On the train, she took two long strides and climbed the ladder to the bed.

When she was asleep, her long eyelashes fell down like a row of tiny brushes, casting a shadow on her face.

When she lay on her side, the indentation of her waist told him just how slender it was. Her long, straight legs were the part that fascinated him the most, making him want to measure them with his own hands to see just how long they were and how enchanting they were when they were wrapped around his waist.

Having prepared himself mentally, Qu Changlin arrived at Ning Yan's doorstep once again.

However, the door was locked, and the woman was not home.

Ning Yan was so busy that she disappeared for more than half a month. Gu Jianguo gave her a lot of money. In the three years after their marriage, because the original owner had a salary, she saved all the money he gave her, which added up to more than 100,000 yuan.

This money is just dead money; we need to make it generate more money.

So she first went to Gu Jianguo's brother, Wang Yuanxing, who worked in a government department and knew about her relationship with Gu Jianguo. When he heard that she wanted to hold a trade fair, he took on all the responsibilities and helped her with the procedures.

She admitted that she was leveraging the influence of Gu Jia.

She had considered the possibility that Wang Yuanxing might contact Gu Jianguo.

But she believed that Gu Jianguo was currently feeling guilty towards her, and even if Wang Yuanxing really questioned him, he would only say, "Try to help her with whatever she wants to do," and would not stop her.

To make things easier, Ning Yan simply registered a company called Ning's Trading.

She needed a title to negotiate collaborations with others. She was quick to act; having connections in high places made things easier. In a single day, she even prepared the company seal.

The next day, Ning Yan chose a hot pot restaurant with mediocre business to talk business with.

She was too lazy to waste time arguing with people and directly told the boss what she wanted to do.

"I have a hot pot recipe that tastes really good. I wonder if the boss would be interested?"

How could I not be interested? For hot pot restaurants, the recipe is fundamental. If there's a really good recipe, who wouldn't want it?

Ning Yan took out the hot pot recipe she had prepared at home and cooked a hot pot at the other party's restaurant. The aroma of the hot pot wafted far and wide, and the customers in the restaurant all wanted to order a hot pot.

The boss was very excited by the smell, and after tasting it, he decided to buy Ning Yan's recipe.

Ning Yan refused, and her proposed solution was that she would contribute the base recipe as equity, and if the business was good and they wanted to open branches in the future, she could also invest proportionally.

After talking for a long time, Ning Yan offered her recipe for a 10% share, which would remain unchanged no matter how much the hot pot restaurant developed or how much more money Mr. Hu invested.

If Ning Yan invests money, her shareholding can increase, but it will not be the same as the 10% shareholding in the formula.

Ning Yan probably won't invest any more money in this small hot pot restaurant. She just doesn't want to go to work. She has countless recipes in her head, and they're just sitting there anyway. She might as well take one out and exchange it for some pocket money. Even if it only gives her a thousand or eight hundred yuan a month, it's more than she would earn if she went to work.

Things are settled here, the contract has been signed.

After Wang Zhiyuan finished getting the paperwork for the trade fair done, she went to rent the venue.

She only had enough money to pay the deposit. After renting the venue, Ning Yan took the contract and went to the clothing factory where her mother worked.

After spending more than an hour in the factory manager's office, we finally reached a cooperation agreement and signed a contract.

At the upcoming trade fair, the garment factory will produce garment samples based on the designs provided by Ning Yan. Ning Yan will receive a commission of two yuan for each garment sold. If the samples are not sold, Ning Yan will buy them.

The factory manager isn't that stingy; it's just a few pieces of clothing, he can afford to lose that much.

Moreover, Ning Yan's design drawings were quite novel, and he wasn't unaware of their value, so he agreed.

Anyway, the more he sells, the more he earns, so he's not worried.

Then Ning Yan took all the documents for the sales conference to many small factories such as furniture factories, home appliance factories, and bathroom facilities. When she left, she would have a signed contract in her hand.

Three days later, she had hired staff for the venue and distributed promotional leaflets.

At this time, booth fees and tickets for trade fairs are in high demand. Many people want to buy things at the trade fair but can't get tickets, so they ask others to help them buy them.

The trade fair lasted for seven days. Apart from the few factories that Ning Yan visited herself at the beginning, the other booths were all visited by people who came to her after she handed out flyers. They paid money and still had to say good things about Ning Yan.

Before the trade fair even started, the booth fees alone had already recouped the initial investment.

On November 28th, the trade fair officially began, and consumers immediately flocked into the exhibition hall.

The factories that Ning Yan contacted all set up booths in the most prominent places. Furniture and clothing had the largest sales volume. On the first day alone, Ning Yan earned more than 200,000 yuan in commission from the contracts signed.

The second day saw an even higher increase, doubling in value, with garment factory orders still accounting for the majority of the gains.

By the third day, the furniture factory's orders had surged ahead, since the furniture was expensive and Ning Yan could earn a higher commission.

For seven days, Ning Yan was extremely busy. As soon as the trade fair ended, she rushed to several factories to settle accounts. After deducting the initial investment and the wages of the service personnel, Ning Yan's account had increased by more than 1.6 million yuan.

It's fair to say that she made a fortune from that one trade fair!

After finishing all that, Ning Yan slept for a full 24 hours at home before she could recover.

She had just woken up from hunger when there was a knock on the door.

Ning Yan rubbed her hair and went out to open the door.

As expected, Qu Changlin was indeed standing outside the door.

It's only been a month since I last saw him, why does the man in front of me look so haggard?

“Ning Yan…”

Ning Yan immediately noticed the lunchbox in Qu Changlin's hand. Remembering how delicious the steamed buns he had returned last time were, she stepped aside to let him in. "Did you bring me food? Come in, I'm starving."

After a quick wash, Ning Yan opened the lunchbox that Qu Changlin had brought her. As soon as the box was opened, a delicious aroma wafted out: braised pork, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, spicy stir-fried shredded potatoes, pan-fried fish, and perfectly cooked rice. It looked incredibly appetizing.

"Have you eaten? I can't finish all this by myself, how about we eat together?"

Qu Changlin was shamefully tempted. Then, Ning Yan set up the table, arranged the dishes, and they sat facing each other on opposite sides, eating quietly.
