Xiao Yao shook her head without hesitation, "I'm not happy."
She didn't think it was something to be proud of or happy about for a man to waste money on her.
Zhong Xuyang smiled. He knew she wasn't that kind of person. "I also felt you wouldn't be happy, so I'm not trying to please you by doing anything to make your family happy. It's just that I agree with Brother Yao's idea and believe that doing this will help me make more money."
Seeing that Xiao Yao still looked puzzled, he patiently explained, "You've worked in a factory before, so you should know that your Xiao Xiao's business has always been OEM production of snacks. My Jia Xu used to do OEM production for others too. I understand the survival dilemma of OEM factories. They can be replaced at any time, their prices are driven down, and there is vicious competition in the industry. They have to beg others for orders like grandsons. That's why Brother Yao had the idea of transformation. He wanted to set up a production line to produce popular online snacks. It just so happens that snack shops are booming and popping up everywhere, so it's a good time."
Hearing Zhong Xuyang's words, Xiao Yao immediately felt a sense of empathy. Not only her family's factory, but her current garment factory was in the same situation. Because the factory had always taken on small OEM orders from clothing stores, the customers were scattered, and the price was transparent and the competition was fierce. If they wanted to pursue quality and raise the price even slightly, they would lose customers. So, she had been thinking about transforming the factory, but she had not found a good way out.
"Actually, your garment factory could also try to transform."
Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhong Xuyang expectantly.
Her round, big eyes, the way she looked up at him—Zhong Xuyang couldn't resist ruffling her hair. "These days, both live-streaming platforms and online shopping platforms have influencer stores. You could try targeting your garment factory's customer base with them, researching their styles, and then designing styles specifically for them. The fabric and workmanship don't need to be top-notch; above-average is fine. Influencer stores often aim for affordable prices and high sales volume. If you can find influencer stores to sell your goods, not only will their order volume be substantial, but it will also attract many other small online stores to order from you. Then you won't have to worry about not having orders anymore!"
Xiao Yao listened and lowered her head to think. Zhong Xuyang had indeed given her an idea. Online celebrity stores were not only a big customer, but also a promotional channel. Gu Yueji's online store accounted for half of their factory's orders. If she could find even one online celebrity store to get their goods, the factory would no longer have to worry about its order volume.
Xiao Yao became more and more motivated as she thought about it, and gave Zhong Xuyang a sincere smile, "Thank you for your suggestion, it's very helpful to me."
Zhong Xuyang was satisfied that he could help her. "You can listen to your Aunt Shen and talk to me more, and exchange ideas about managing the factory," he paused, leaned down to her, and "and maybe have some sweet talk with me."
Xiao Yao was startled and exclaimed, "Who wants to talk about love with you!"
Zhong Xuyang smiled obediently, his voice as gentle as could be, "Yes, you can talk to me about anything, I'm willing to listen to you."
Xiao Yao couldn't stand his teasing. "Tell my brother I'll wait for him in the car," she said, and then ran away.
Zhong Xuyang stared at her retreating figure, a doting smile spreading across his face.
"Tsk tsk tsk, looks like someone's going to be my brother-in-law soon." Xiao Yao had been standing not far away, only coming over after Xiao Yao left. "But why are you teaching her how to do business and start a business? Won't you two be in a long-distance relationship forever?"
"Since I'm the one pursuing her, of course I'm the one chasing after her. How can I force her to stay by my side?"
"What if you two get together?"
"We were together when she went to G City."
"I don't understand what you're thinking."
What couple doesn't want to be together all the time?
However, Zhong Xuyang had a different understanding: "Yaoyao is not a flower that can only grow by depending on others. She has her own pursuits and values. I love her, so I want to help her realize her pursuits so that she will be happier and more vibrant."
Xiao Yao rubbed his arms. "Don't call me 'yaoyao' or say such mushy things. It gives me goosebumps."
Zhong Xuyang laughed, looking at his male version of Xiao Yao's face, "I've been wanting to ask this before, you two siblings have names that sound exactly the same, how do your aunt and uncle usually address you at home?"
When we were little, they all called us by our nicknames.
"You guys have nicknames?"
"Is it abnormal to have a nickname? Don't you have one?"
"No." Everyone has always called him by his name since he was a child.
What are your nicknames?
Xiao Yao licked his lips. "Why ask so many questions?"
Zhong Xuyang noticed his displeasure. "What? Can't you say?"
Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then mumbled, "Zhuangzhuang, Diandian."
Zhong Xuyang heard this, "Dian Dian?"
I whispered this nickname to myself, imagining Xiao Yao as a tiny little girl when she was young. She must have been very cute.
However, when he read "Dian Dian" again, Xiao Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Can you please stop calling me that?"
"what?"
"It's me, Dot!"
Zhong Xuyang was stunned. "Huh?"
Xiao Yao said indignantly, "When Xiao Yao was little, she was as strong as a pig. Her name was Diandian, but she was Zhuangzhuang!"
