Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 248 100% Trust
"You want to give them money?" Cai Ting looked at her with wide eyes. "If you start this, won't everyone have to give them money in the future?"
"It's not really a gift, but it's true that it will cost some money." Su Jiaojiao took the bag and walked out, "Come with me, I'll leave things like this to you from now on."
"You mean buying them off with gifts?" Cai Ting was surprised.
"What are you talking about? This is called handling relationships between neighbors well." Su Jiaojiao took Cai Ting to the store, bought four boxes of beer, and carried them upstairs.
The Century Jiayuan community is all equipped with pedestrian stairs, and each elevator serves two households.
If the workshop downstairs is noisy, it only affects the first and second floors. Since no one has lived opposite Su Jiaojiao, she can just give it to the two people on the second floor upstairs.
There is also the unit next door. Only the west unit on their side receives the first and second floors, and it really does not affect the other neighbors.
Most of the neighbors had just moved in and didn't know each other.
They were Su Jiaojiao's upstairs neighbors. She had only seen them a few times. She only knew that they were a middle-aged couple. Both of them were wearing paper mill work clothes. They must be workers at the paper mill.
I knocked on the door, but no one opened it.
He should not be at home.
Instead, the old lady next door was knocked out. She looked at Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting warily, her eyes fixed on the beer in their hands: "Who are you looking for?"
"Grandma, we're here to see you." Su Jiaojiao often saw the old lady playing with her grandson in the community security office, but she had never said hello. She handed the beer in her hand to the old lady and said softly, "Grandma, I live on the first floor and we are neighbors. The workshop downstairs is mine. I'm sorry to bother you for so long. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and this is a little gift from us."
Mid-Autumn Festival?
Cai Ting blinked her eyes and said, it’s still early, there’s still more than a month left!
"Oh, the workshop downstairs is yours!" The old lady suddenly realized and took the beer from Su Jiaojiao, saying, "You are so polite. You didn't bother me at all."
"It's still a bit disturbing." Su Jiaojiao smiled, "I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but I felt embarrassed because we neighbors don't know each other."
"Hey, everyone in our neighborhood says you've made a fortune, and you're working non-stop morning and night." The old lady's face was as bright as a flower. "Girl, come in and sit down. We're all neighbors, no need to be so polite."
"No, we still have things to do." Su Jiaojiao waved her hand. "Thank you, grandma, for supporting our work. We'll come to see you again when we're free."
"Okay, okay, you're so polite." The old lady told them with a smile, "The couple across the street won't be back until tonight, so you can come back later."
"Thank you, grandma!" Su Jiaojiao smiled. She took Cai Ting to the next unit and delivered two boxes of beer in the same way.
The neighbors accepted the beer and said that they were not at home during the day because they were at work, and when they came back at night, the workshop downstairs had also closed, so it did not interfere with their daily lives.
Cai Ting curled her lips.
Since it has no impact, why do we unite and complain against them?
Su Jiaojiao took the remaining case of beer home and called Chen Xiaohong to make an appointment for dinner that evening. She then said to Cai Ting, "Send it up to the second floor tonight. The couple will be back at 6 pm."
"Me?" Cai Ting was embarrassed. "I don't dare. What if they scold me?"
"You gave them wine, why would they scold you? Have you ever seen anyone being scolded for giving gifts?" Su Jiaojiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, I'll go take it." Cai Ting agreed reluctantly.
After getting married, Chen Xiaohong lived in her hometown for more than two months before returning. As soon as she entered the house, she complained to the two of them: "I've been in my hometown for more than two months and I'm almost bored to death. Have you forgotten me?"
"I'd still call you if I'd forgotten you?" Su Jiaojiao was still very happy to see Chen Xiaohong. "But you're so happy that you don't want to leave."
"Bullshit, I've lived here long enough. If I wasn't building a house and couldn't leave, I would have come here a long time ago." Chen Xiaohong saw that Chen Guilan was not at home and lay down on the sofa. "I'm so tired."
"You guys built a new house in the village?" Cai Ting was very envious. "Sister, you are definitely a nouveau riche now."
"What nouveau riche? I was forced to call him that. Let me tell you, Wang Jian has made some money in the past two years. Besides the Century Garden house, he still has around 8,000 yuan left. Everyone in his family is eyeing this little money. His eldest sister wanted to borrow money to buy a tricycle, and his second sister said they needed money to build an annex, and that bastard Wang Jian actually agreed to both of them."
Chen Xiaohong snorted coldly, "Who do you think I am? How could I let them scheme against me? I told my mother-in-law directly that I wanted to rebuild our house and I wouldn't lend the money to anyone. My mother-in-law didn't agree at first, but my father-in-law agreed. So, I stayed and rebuilt the house, and spent all the money Wang Jian had. Now, no one has to worry about me anymore."
"You can do it!" Cai Ting pushed her, "You're really a fighter among wives. You won't suffer any loss at all."
"That's right. If you want to cheat me out of my money, you're out of luck." Chen Xiaohong said, then asked Su Jiaojiao, "What do you want from me? Just to have a meal?"
"Didn't you ask me to help you plan a store positioning? I suggest selling hoodies and sportswear. These kinds of clothing aren't easily influenced by fashion trends and aren't very seasonal, so they're perfect for you." Su Jiaojiao said directly, "It's July now. If you've decided, hurry up and stock up. September to New Year's Day is the peak sales season."
"No problem, I'll listen to you." Chen Xiaohong had complete trust in Su Jiaojiao. "I'll go to Mocheng to stock up in the next two days. Please tell me the address of the merchant where you originally stocked the goods."
"You still need to go to Mocheng to stock up. Our Jiaojiao is planning to make sweatshirts." Cai Ting said with a smile, "We've already bought the fabric."
"Really? You're so quick?" Chen Xiaohong was amazed and sat up suddenly. "What on earth have you been doing during the time I was away?"
"I haven't done anything, I just bought some fabric." Su Jiaojiao said, "You can go to Mocheng to buy the goods. I haven't even put these sweatshirts online yet, so I don't have any stock. It won't be too late to come and get the goods after I have the finished products."
Ding Mei has machines and equipment, but not enough manpower. The reason for the lack of manpower is that there is not enough space to accommodate too many machines and equipment.
Unless you change the venue.
So the problem is, Ding Mei can't change the venue now, and if she does, she still has to pay rent and various other fees.
Therefore, even if the hoodies are put on the market, not many finished products can be produced in a short period of time, and they cannot be supplied to Chen Xiaohong's clothing store at all.
"That's fine." Chen Xiaohong didn't think much about it. "I'll take your goods whenever you have them. I'll sell the Mocheng goods first in the next few days."
Chen Guilan knew that Su Jiaojiao was going to invite Chen Xiaohong and Cai Ting to dinner in the evening, so she bought some food and came back to cook early.
At six o'clock, Su Jiaojiao stood at the window and saw the couple on the second floor coming back, so she urged Cai Ting to go upstairs to deliver beer.
Cai Ting prepared herself mentally and went upstairs with the bag.
Chen Xiaohong followed her out of the door out of curiosity and hid on the stairs to spy on her.
