Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye
He Wan's handmade soap business has grown from having only one or two customers to now having more than a dozen customers a day.
Everyone thought it was easy to use and not very expensive, so it gradually spread.
Some families with good financial conditions and who are particular about their products are happy to buy from her.
Yesterday I met someone from out of town who was here on business. He saw the soaps and thought they looked nice, so he bought more than a dozen to give as gifts.
He Wan thought that adding the words "Shanghai City" to the packaging would make it more presentable to bring home from elsewhere.
After all, these are things from big cities.
Moreover, Lao Yun designed all her packaging, and it's very beautiful.
She now opens her shop at nine o'clock every morning and closes at five o'clock in the afternoon.
After dropping my daughter off at school in the morning, I can still go back home and tidy up the room.
I picked my daughter up from school right after get off work in the afternoon.
Zhou Ting'an's language learning during this period has been effective, and it just so happens that this mission is in that country.
They said it would take half a month, but it's already been two days.
Life was pleasant and peaceful.
I don't find it boring, mainly because I get to see Lao Yun every day.
Old Yun eventually accepted the role in that ancient detective drama, and right after filming wrapped, she became pregnant, just as she had predicted.
It's been three months now, and I don't plan to film for the next seven months until I give birth.
However, I recently received a promotional cover for an animated film.
It takes a lot of brainpower to design.
Bai Muyin didn't want her to be too tired, but his wife was too stubborn, and he was unwilling to give her up.
"Aside from a few movie posters I took on before, I rarely take on any more."
I like this design and don't want it to go to waste. Anyway, I don't have much to do at home, and I don't want to just eat and sleep all day.
Bai Muyin affectionately stroked her hair and smiled, "Not only is there He Wan, but also Maomao and Tutu, and Xiao An is here too."
"No." Yun Shudai shook Bai Muyin's arm coquettishly.
Bai Muyin was just saying it; knowing he couldn't persuade her, he had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, he's been free these days and doesn't have to go on business trips, so he spends every day with her.
After sending the rabbit to school, Xiao An helped his wife clean up the litter box.
She doesn't have to do anything except paint.
They now live on Sassoon Road, and they meet Lao He in the space.
Sometimes I'll stay in Nanshan, mainly so that I can have more space to spend time with Lao He.
After Zhou Ting'an returned after half a month, he was so busy that he sometimes didn't come home at night and stayed at the team's residence.
I heard it's about something, but I don't know the specifics.
But two months later, they were going to build a port on the land she had previously bought.
The relevant departments in Haicheng have already contacted her once.
He wanted to buy her land.
And the amount given is not low.
He Wan was unsure, so she went to ask Lao Bai.
"If you don't sell, what solutions will they have?"
"I asked, but they didn't give me a solution."
Bai Muyin tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "You can mention renting it, but if you do, you'll need to build the port yourself. Whatever they want, you'll have to build it accordingly. The initial investment is large, but the returns later are even greater."
Of course, they might not agree with this approach, but you can bring it up.
If that doesn't work, you can sell. You can negotiate with them; you can ask for a private dock. If they won't give it to you, then you can ask for a few years of operating rights, or you can ask them to give you another piece of land.
He Wan thought it was feasible.
Generally, Zhou Ting'an, as a public official, cannot interfere in such matters. Therefore, while He Wan was negotiating with the government, Zhou Ting'an conveniently found an excuse to go on a business trip.
They're not just developing her area, but also a section of the neighboring village.
He Wan was the biggest, and the final price they negotiated was five million, plus a plot of land of over 1,000 square meters in the suburbs.
When He Wan bought this land, it only cost a little over a million yuan.
In just a few years, he earned several times his initial investment and also acquired another piece of land.
That land is a bit remote, but it will definitely be developed within ten years. And the price will be even higher.
After collaborating with Yang Su, He Wan met Yang Su's wife and Zhang Qinghu's wife at many of their gatherings.
One of them, Li Huilan, manages the finances at the garment factory and is also a fashion designer.
One of them was Liang Ercui, who worked in a textile factory.
They are both cheerful people, and they both have children, so they naturally have a lot to talk about when they get together.
They got to know each other after a while, especially Li Huilan, who noticed that He Wan dressed very tastefully and knew that she owned a handmade soap shop.
When I have free time, I'll go over to her place to sit and chat, and I'll also bring her some new seasonal clothing.
When Li Huilan chats with He Wan, she also learns some new things from her.
“Wanwan, what you’ve seen outside is truly different. Although we’ve been to the port area, it’s not as in-depth as what you’ve done. Take our clothing this season, for example. It’s all just following trends; we still lack good designs.”
He Wan said, "I think your designs are already great. You are among the first trendsetters in China."
"What have you two done? Look what I brought you!"
When Liang Ercui arrived, she was carrying pastries in her hand, followed by two women.
He Wan knew that this was another way for them to bring her clients.
Seeing this, he quickly went over to greet them, while also gesturing for them to make themselves at home.
Liang Ercui and Li Huilan were originally best friends. Now that they have met He Wan, they consider her one of their own. After visiting this place a few times, they are already quite familiar with it.
