Shen Qianhe clearly remembered that the previous batch of porcelain had sold out thanks to Jiang Ling. Now that Jiang Ling said she had a solution, it was definitely not just to comfort him.

He frowned and asked, "My dear in-law, what brilliant plan do you have?"

"I wonder if Mr. Shen has ever heard of something called a blind box?"

Jiang Ling didn't actually need to ask that question; she already knew the answer in her heart. The reason she did this was to increase the mystery of the blind boxes.

As she expected, Shen Qianhe and Shen Congxin both shook their heads in confusion. Of course, it wasn't just the father and daughter; even Jiang Yaojie, who was sitting next to them, looked at Jiang Ling with a strange expression.

Jiang Ling smiled faintly and explained, "These blind boxes are boxes that look the same but contain different things!"

Shen Qianhe and Shen Congxin both frowned and looked at Jiang Ling with even more confusion.

"Mr. Shen, let me make a hypothetical scenario. If you had ten identical boxes in front of you, all priced the same, and I told you that one of them contained something of considerable value, would you consider buying one to try your luck?"

Jiang Ling's words made Shen Qianhe fall into deep thought. After about half a minute, Shen Qianhe said, "If I have enough funds, I am definitely willing to take a gamble. If this is something I need, then I am even more willing to take a gamble!"

“Yes, that’s the most attractive thing about blind boxes!” Jiang Ling added, seeing that Shen Qianhe had already expressed her opinion.

"Auntie, what if we can't get the one we like?" Shen Congxin asked, frowning.

Jiang Ling smiled faintly and explained, "That's easy. Buying blind boxes is voluntary. We just need to agree on the rules beforehand. Once opened, there will be no refunds or exchanges!"

Shen Congxin nodded thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

“This…this model is indeed quite good, perhaps we can give it a try!” Shen Qianhe, who had been pondering for a long time, said.

“My dear in-law, I don’t know much about blind boxes. Could I ask you for a favor? If you can sell them, we can split the profits 50/50! I’m not thinking about getting rich right now. I just want to get rid of this batch of troublesome porcelain as soon as possible!” Although Shen Qianhe wanted to get a general overview of the matter, he still didn’t understand the overall structure of blind boxes. He dared not act rashly on something with too much uncertainty.

Jiang Ling was very happy to hear this. She had actually had this idea for a long time, but she was afraid that Shen Qianhe would overthink it. After all, this was a business with no risk and high profit. Even if the sales were not good, she would not lose anything. But if she took the initiative to ask, she was worried that Shen Qianhe would overthink it. Now, Shen Qianhe's words were exactly what she was thinking.

“Yes, but Mr. Shen, I can’t guarantee that all the blind boxes will sell out. After all, this is still in the very early stages of planning!” Jiang Ling said.

Shen Qianhe waved her hand dismissively and replied, "It doesn't matter. I'm very grateful that you can help me, my dear in-law!"

Jiang Ling then suggested that she go and see the batch of porcelain, and Shen Qianhe took her to the porcelain factory without saying a word.

He took the key, opened the innermost warehouse, and pointed to the porcelain piled in a corner, saying, "These are all!"

Jiang Ling quickly examined the porcelain pieces. Since they were all similar in size, making the blind box production much simpler, she carefully arranged them according to her desired rarity. Then, she selected the largest piece and said to Mr. Shen, "The blind boxes will be made to the size of this piece. This is just a small trial; Mr. Shen, please make twenty to start! Just follow this design!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ling took out the packaging paper she had designed beforehand. It was a square paper box decorated with some simple flowers and plants, and there was a "tear invalid" sign on the top of the box.

Master Shen examined Jiang Ling's blueprints carefully for a long time, but couldn't figure anything out. He could only hand the blueprints to the worker next to him and say, "Did you understand what I just said? Do exactly as this lady said!"

The worker nodded obediently. Although he also felt strange, he didn't say anything more.

Mr. Shen was quick to produce the blind boxes. In less than two days, the Shen family sent a letter saying that the items were ready and asking Jiang Ling and Jiang Yaojie to go over there.

After receiving the news, Jiang Ling had Jiang Yaojie drive the carriage to the Shen family.

At this moment, Mr. Shen was examining a sample closely.

Upon seeing Jiang Ling, he quickly handed her the sample and asked, "In-law, what do you think of this?"

Jiang Ling carefully examined the cardboard box in front of her, then reached inside and examined it closely through the sunlight. After confirming the box's security, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, that's good!"

"What do we do next?" Shen Qianhe asked hurriedly after hearing Jiang Ling's words.

Shen Qianhe and Jiang Ling returned to the warehouse. Jiang Ling selected a few pieces from each pile of porcelain, totaling twenty pieces, and said to Shen Qianhe, "Master Shen, could you please have these twenty pieces packed into boxes?"

“After I finish sending Suihe to school in a few days, I’ll go to Yecheng to try my luck!” Jiang Ling said.

Shen Qianhe was even more grateful to Jiang Ling after hearing this. However, what Jiang Ling didn't know was that Shen Qianhe had a big argument with Madam Shen over the blind box issue these past few days.

Ever since Madam Shen's ill intentions were outmaneuvered by Jiang Ling and Shen Congxin in the last divorce attempt, Madam Shen has hated Jiang Ling to the core. Especially after hearing that this proposal was made by Jiang Ling, she is even more opposed to it.

However, due to Shen Qianhe's trust in Jiang Ling, Madam Shen ultimately failed to stop it.

...

Five days later, a notice from Linghui Academy bearing the name Jiang Suihe was delivered to Jiang Ling.
