Everyone had been gloomy these past few days, and Xia Ruzheng felt that this was probably the biggest difficulty they had encountered since starting their business. The biting cold wind of setting up a stall in winter was nothing compared to this.
Xia Ruzheng also asked Grandpa An and Grandma Liu, but they didn't have any resources. They were old artists and cultural figures, so of course they didn't have any connections in business.
Grandma Liu could only comfort her: "Don't worry, things will work out in the end."
Xia Ruzheng could only force a smile and thank Grandma Liu for her comfort.
Time is becoming increasingly tight because the factory has already produced a lot of clothes. According to Wen Zhichao's plan, the clothing store has now opened and sells spring clothes, but the small factory has to prepare to produce summer clothes.
Now the spring clothes are still piled up in other people's warehouses. The factory owner also knows Wen Zhichao's predicament and asks him if he wants to continue production. Wen Zhichao also struggled with his thoughts for a long time before saying, "Don't produce my clothes for the next two weeks. Wait until I find a store, then continue production. If I still can't find one after two weeks, I will switch to producing summer clothes."
The boss patted Wen Zhichao on the shoulder and said that if there was no sales, it would really make you worry until your hair turned gray.
"My warehouse isn't big, but it can still hold your clothes. I'll keep them for a month. I hope you can find a place soon."
Wen Zhichao was very grateful. Although the warehouse was just for storage, it still required rent. Warehouses needed to be protected from moisture, fire, and theft, and they also needed to be manned. It all required investment; it wasn't something you could just leave there and ignore.
They are already being very kind by providing free custody for a month.
"Thank you so much."
"No need. Who doesn't have a hard time?"
At the beginning of starting a business, you will always encounter many difficulties, which will make you feel that you are bound to fail and cannot go on. However, if you can persist, you may be able to see a bright future.
The owner of the clothing factory also took notice of Wen Zhichao's ability. He had only been there for over a year and had already opened two stores. Although things were a little difficult at the moment, with his ability, who said he couldn't turn things around?
Xia Ruzheng felt that the owner of the clothing factory who often came to her restaurant to eat was really kind.
"Let's treat him to a meal sometime. No matter what, we have to express our gratitude."
"Of course. Luo Bin is someone we can make close friends with. We will have a lot of cooperation in the future."
Despite the current predicament, Wen Zhichao has not thought about giving up the clothing business.
"Then I'll arrange it according to the schedule."
Wen Zhichao agreed absentmindedly.
Xia Ruzheng touched Wen Zhichao's forehead, smoothing the "chuan" character between his brows. He said, "Don't overthink it. At worst, we can just hire a few people to set up a street stall. I looked at the clothes you brought back. The material is good. Luo Bin didn't cheat. I chose the color and style. How can they not look good? Good-looking and affordable clothes, why worry about not having buyers?"
Wen Zhichao was also relieved and said, "You're right. At worst, we can just set up a street stall. It's not like we haven't done that before, so we have plenty of experience!"
Xia Ruzheng said, "Of course! I can sell it in my shop. I can tell the men that buying a piece of clothing for their wives is a way of showing love for them. I'm sure some will be happy to buy it."
Xia Ruzheng's shop is mainly frequented by men. She is beautiful, but not a playboy. She is quite talkative and calls everyone "brother" and "brother" warmly, so everyone treats Xia Ruzheng as a friend and not an outsider at all.
"You are the most capable, my wife."
"How can you say that? Of course you're the most capable. You're the one who took over both of our stores!"
It is precisely because Wen Zhichao has white hair that many people regard him as an alien, but he is still able to gain the trust of many people and finally make business, so Xia Ruzheng admires him very much.
Maybe it's because I've become more open-minded, and God feels that it's boring to continue playing, or maybe opportunities really only come to those who are prepared.
The new landlord was truly unable to run his business because his wife wanted to open a mahjong parlor. How could he agree to this? He hadn't been happy with his wife playing mahjong every day, and opening a shop was meant to give her something to do. If he opened a mahjong parlor, wouldn't she be stuck at the table day and night? Besides, while society has become more civilized and mahjong is no longer considered a poisonous weed or a cancer, the landlord still had lingering concerns. After all, playing mahjong is not a good thing, not much better than gambling. What if the policy changes one day? Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
The new landlord had a big fight with his wife and in a fit of anger, he decided to rent out the storefront. Anyway, the rental market is very hot nowadays.
At first, many people were looking for space to rent from the new landlord, but when they heard he was going to open his own shop, they stopped asking. Now, no one is asking him for space anymore. He still remembers Wen Zhichao, though. One reason is his striking white hair, and another is the Family Restaurant he mentioned, which the landlord remembers well. The landlord, feeling hungry, ended up visiting Xia Ruzheng's shop.
Although Xia Ruzheng didn't know that this person was the new landlord of the store, he still gave him a warm welcome.
"What would this guest like to eat? Cantonese cuisine or something else?"
The new landlord looked at the beautiful young wife in front of him and was also surprised. Such a beautiful girl with such good skills should be very popular wherever she is. Why did she marry an oddball like Wen Zhichao?
After observing Xia Ruzheng calmly, the new landlord looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Serve me Cantonese food! The braised pork belly I had here last time was delicious. Give me one portion."
