Chen Zhaodi's brain capacity was limited, and even after all this, she was still confused.
However, she didn't want to delve into it further. What she cared about most was that Zhou Hongyu had to borrow their family's money!
When Chen Zhaodi brought up the matter of borrowing money again, Zhou Hongyu stared at her for a long time.
ah!
Here comes the coolie!
Zhou Hongyu: "Sister-in-law, can you help me out too?"
Upon hearing Zhou Hongyu recount the story, Chen Zhaodi shook her head frantically: "I absolutely refuse to do something so shameful! We've lent you our family's money, and I have no say in what you do with it!"
No way, if you run away, I won't be able to find such a suitable laborer.
Zhou Hongyu grabbed Chen Zhaodi's arm and started to coax her: "Sister-in-law, it's just helping to sell things, how is it such a shameful thing? Sister-in-law, you're too old-fashioned!"
Chen Zhaodi pulled her hand away, stammering, "You, you... saying anything more is useless, this kind of thing is shameful!"
"Ahem, ahem." Zhou Hongyu said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, if I told you that if you invest 300 yuan, you can earn back 900 yuan in no time, would you do it?"
"Ah!" Chen Zhaodi exclaimed in disbelief, "You're not lying, are you?!"
Chen Zhaodi has been tightening screws in the factory for half her life. Even with her seniority, her salary is only a little over forty yuan. If she earns nine hundred yuan, she'll have to work until the end of time!
Chen Zhaodi blinked: "Zhou Hongyu, didn't you explain yourself clearly? You can earn nine hundred yuan by selling clothes!"
Their family has over a thousand yuan in savings, if...
No, no!
We absolutely must not let our imaginations run wild; Zhou Hongyu is definitely trying to fool us with those words!
Zhou Hongyu laughed out loud: "What good would it do me to lie to you? This is just an idea given to me by an older sister in my workplace who has connections. It's a sure thing!"
Chen Zhaodi immediately cast an envious glance. She earned the highest salary in the workshop by tightening screws, but she never had the chance to meet an older sister with connections in her family.
"Zhou Hongyu, could you let me invest in this too? I don't need much; just give me a quarter of your initial investment when you make a profit!"
“Bringing you along isn’t impossible, but right now there’s no one to help with the work. Even if I had connections, I still couldn’t get this sorted out!”
Zhou Hongyu advised her, "Aren't you going to take a week off soon? Why don't you come and help out?"
When the factory's safety department came to Chen Zhaodi's workshop for inspection, the leader waved his hand and took the opportunity to give these workers who had been working hard on the front line a week off to rest.
Chen Zhaodi immediately wanted to refuse. How embarrassing would it be for her to sell clothes? What would people think if word got out!
Before Chen Zhaodi could refuse, Zhou Hongyu added, "Alas, time waits for no one. If we really can't find a suitable person, I'm afraid this matter will fall through!"
How can this be!
With an initial investment of 300 yuan, you can make a guaranteed profit and triple your investment to 900 yuan!
Chen Zhaodi hurriedly advised, "Think more positively. You're just going to give up such a lucrative opportunity? Don't you look down on money?"
Zhou Hongyu then asked her, "So you're planning to come and help?"
Chen Zhaodi nodded without hesitation: "I would never turn down money!"
Pfft, easy peasy!
Zhou Hongyu: "Since it's just the two of us partnering up, with you contributing both money and effort, and me just finding the connections, let's split it 40/60, I'll take 40 and you take 60!"
46 points.
Chen Zhaodi counted on her fingers for a moment, then immediately showed a look of horror, pointing at Zhou Hongyu: "You really were waiting for me here! I get six and you get four. If something happens, people who don't know the situation will think I'm the mastermind. This way of dividing things won't work!"
Zhou Hongyu shrugged helplessly, "You're not even willing to give me a bigger share of the money. You must be incredibly stupid."
Okay, then consider the extra money I get as compensation for emotional distress.
"Fifty-fifty split?"
"That won't work either!"
Chen Zhaodi stated her ideal price: "Only 20/80!"
The 20/80 split seems perfectly reasonable. If the truth comes out, Zhou Hongyu is the mastermind, while she is at most a greedy nobody.
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
Okay, whatever makes you happy.
However, don't go crazy when it's time to split the money.
Zhou Hongyu asked her how much capital she could contribute.
Chen Zhaodi hesitated and then extended one finger.
Zhou Hongyu nodded. Sure enough, this was Chen Zhaodi, who loved money more than anything. She thought for a long time before finally handing over a hundred yuan!
Then, Chen Zhaodi added, "Is one thousand yuan enough? If not, I'll go borrow some more..."
Zhou Hongyu: Pfft—
A thousand dollars is more than enough!
After receiving a thousand yuan in capital and laborers from Chen Zhaodi, Zhou Hongyu went to the office the next day and apologized to Sister Sun for suddenly increasing her capital several times over.
Sister Sun laughed and said it was fine: "Buying 1,000 yuan worth of goods is indeed a bit much, but as long as I can sell them, it's fine. Anyway, this is a sure thing!"
That day, when Sister Sun returned home, she relayed what Zhou Hongyu had said. Except for her husband, who thought Sister Sun was being nosy, everyone else in the family agreed, as if they had seen hope again.
After Sister Sun and her niece-in-law, who was a leader at the garment factory, made arrangements, Zhou Hongyu took leave and asked Chen Zhaodi to go to the garment factory to pick up the goods.
A long line formed at the back gate of the garment factory.
Chen Zhaodi had spent half her life tightening screws in the workshop. This was the first time she had seen such a lively scene, and she was curious about everything.
Chen Zhaodi whispered, "I thought it would just be the two of us when we arrived. I'm so afraid of being seen by people from the garment factory during the handover. It would be so embarrassing!"
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes at her: "It's not like you're doing anything illegal, what are you afraid of losing face for!"
Chen Zhaodi shut her mouth in fear. Why had Zhou Hongyu become so fierce again? Hadn't she been getting better lately?
