In Chapter 48, Chen Yi patted Mrs. Jiang on the shoulder and gestured for her to sit down first.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang, who was still sitting on the sofa, unable to sit still, Chen Yi smiled.
"Jiaxin, don't you know what kind of person your sister-in-law is? Don't be in a hurry, let her say a few words."
You're saying your apprentice specially packed these skincare products for you before you left?
Mrs. Jiang guessed what her sister-in-law wanted to say and shook her head.
"No, that's not it. I left on a whim. My apprentice just happened to bring these skincare products over for me to try that day."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's smile widened. She clapped her hands, sat on the sofa, and looked directly at Mrs. Jiang.
“That makes sense. Since she dared to let you try it, the quality must be fine. And let me ask you something else, sister-in-law: do you want your little apprentice's career to take another step forward?” Chen Yi leaned closer to Mrs. Jiang and asked with a smile.
How can I help my apprentice take his career to the next level?
Considering Madam Zhang's influence in the social circles of wealthy women in Beijing, Mrs. Jiang also figured out Chen Yi's intentions.
If that's the case, then it's not bad.
If anything really goes wrong, she, as the teacher's wife, will take the blame for Xixi.
Oh, right, now that my brother is awake, shouldn't we settle the payment for Xixi's treatment?
Thinking of the Liu family head's secret stash, Mrs. Jiang's face revealed a meaningful expression.
...
"Xixi, are these the design drafts you've been working on these past two days?" When Manager Wang of the Friendship Store saw Jiang Xixi, he treated her like a sugar daddy, his expression incredibly fawning.
Thinking about the promise made by the higher-ups to promote him and give him a raise during the provincial meeting, Manager Wang's face beamed with joy.
"Manager Wang, take a look first." Manager Wang took the design draft from Jiang Xixi's hand, but instead of opening it right away, he started chatting with her.
"Hey, what are you looking at? I trust the quality of the design drafts you provided. You haven't been here lately, so you probably don't know, but our Friendship Store has been doing incredibly well these past two days because of the designs you provided."
Manager Wang's statement is not an exaggeration; the foreign exchange rate at the Friendship Store in HA City is soaring that it has already spread beyond Liaoning Province.
This is all thanks to Jiang Xixi's innovative design drafts.
Jiang Xixi smiled without saying anything, but reminded him again, "Manager Wang, please open it and take a look. This manuscript wasn't written by me alone. Please see if it suits your taste."
Manager Wang paused for a moment, but then stopped refusing. This was related to his promotion and salary increase, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Xixi, look at this one. This design is a bit too big. Although our Friendship Store caters to foreign customers, you know the situation in our domestic market. These clothes can't be displayed." Manager Wang looked troubled, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Manager Wang, I understand what you mean. I will talk to the person who drew the draft about this later. Let's not talk about the design style for now. Do you approve of the quality of this draft?" Jiang Xixi didn't beat around the bush and just asked directly.
"I approve, I definitely approve." Manager Wang stroked the ink on the design drawing, looking like he admired talent.
Aside from the somewhat bold design style, this piece is flawless.
"If I told you, Manager Wang, that this person not only has extremely high design talent, but also has profound attainments in embroidery, would you like to recruit such an outstanding person?"
Manager Wang was taken aback at first, but then burst into laughter.
"Xixi, no wonder everyone says you're good at business. You've been thinking about it so much. If you really have a way to get someone like you into our Friendship Store, I'll give you another 10% of the profit-sharing we agreed on before. What do you think?"
"Manager Wang is very generous."
This was also Jiang Xixi's ultimate goal for this trip. After all, she had spent so much time and energy; she wasn't doing charity work!
...
"Did you hear what we just said?"
"Um."
"Are you relieved now?"
"I'm relieved." Lan Miqian had been standing at the door of Manager Wang's office the whole time. When Jiang Xixi went in, she deliberately left a crack in the door, and Lan Miqian, standing outside, heard their conversation very clearly.
It's good if they have ulterior motives; she'd be worried if they were just being overly compassionate and asking for nothing in return.
"Don't worry, I won't make you work for nothing. I provided you with this platform to enter the Friendship Store, so I will take 50% of your earnings. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"No objection." Lan Miqian was indeed somewhat shocked when she heard about the distribution method. Wasn't this distribution a bit like banditry?
Even in the black market of Suzhou, we've never seen such a shady distribution method!
But then I thought, this might be a unique distribution method in mainland China. Didn't you hear Jiang Xixi and the manager doing the same thing in the room just now?
Later, after Lan Miqian had a thorough understanding of business practices in mainland China, she was depressed for a long time.
Jiang Xixi is truly ruthless!
...
"Jiaxin, these are the only valuable items in my savings. Can't you leave a few for me?"
Watching his younger sister instruct people to move his collection piece by piece down the stairs, Liu Chengxin, the head of the Liu family, felt extremely distressed.
"Brother, the ginseng my little apprentice took out is a hundred-year-old ginseng that saved your life. Why are you so stingy? You're not even willing to accept a few things from me?" Madam Jiang raised her eyebrows and her eyes flashed with cold light.
He looked like he was ready to teach Liu Chengxin a lesson if he dared to oppose him.
Liu Chengxin quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy.
His sister still has such a bad temper. He only said one more word, and he didn't tell her not to take it!
The head of the Liu family felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.
"Master Liu, you're here too!" Madam Zhang greeted Liu Chengxin casually as she rushed into the Liu family mansion.
"Madam Zhang, it's been a long time." Liu Chengxin nodded politely, intending to say something, but to his surprise, Madam Zhang showed no sign of wanting to pay him any attention.
He went to Mrs. Jiang with great enthusiasm.
"Jiaxin, I came here to ask you if you still have the skincare product you gave me last time?" Mrs. Zhang asked expectantly.
"Huh?" Mrs. Jiang was somewhat shocked.
"Skincare products? We're out of them now. The two bottles my apprentice gave me last time were extra ones. You used them up so quickly?"
Logically, that shouldn't be the case, since Xixi's skincare product box is quite large.
Madam Zhang lowered her head shyly.
It's all because of that damned guy in his family.
Ever since he started using that skincare product, he's been coming back more and more often.
And then there were her group of girlfriends, who came to her house for a gathering yesterday, and who would have thought that those sharp-eyed girls would notice the change in her face at a glance.
Under persistent questioning, she finally couldn't hold back any longer.
That's why I came to the Liu family early this morning.
"Huh? That's all? Jiaxin, could you talk to your little apprentice and ask her to do more?"
Her skincare products are indeed very effective. If possible, we could ask her to speed things up as well. I can wait, but Mrs. Tan can't!
"Madam Tan? Is it that Madam Tan?"
Before Mrs. Jiang could say anything, Liu Chengxin, who was standing next to her, got excited and pointed upwards.
After receiving a reassuring look from Madam Zhang, Liu Chengxin became even more excited!
