Chapter 450
"Huiyun, why aren't you leaving yet?" Li Juxiang said to Zhang Huiyun.
"You guys go first, I have something else to do." Zhang Huiyun said vaguely.
Yang Lu turned around and left first. Seeing that Zhang Huiyun looked like she had a secret, Li Juxiang left without asking any more questions.
After Yang Lu and Li Juxiang walked away, Zhang Huiyun said to Ye Fuyue, "Fuyue, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Zhang Huiyun said a little embarrassedly: "Can you let me join your bun shop? I can contribute 500 yuan. If you think it's not enough, we can discuss how much you want me to contribute."
Ye Fuyue didn't rush to speak.
Zhang Huiyun cried poor all day long, envying this and that. I didn't expect that she could take out 500 yuan in one go. It shows that Zhang Huiyun still has some money, not as poor as she usually acts.
"Now the bun shop business is on track. The three of us are doing very well, and there is no need for other people to join us." Ye Fuyue said.
Zhang Huiyun was still unwilling to give up and confirmed again: "Really? I can still come up with more money, eight hundred or one thousand is fine."
Ye Fuyue smiled: "I didn't expect you to have so much money."
Zhang Huiyun smiled shyly: "I saved every penny by living frugally. It's basically all my husband and I have saved."
Ye Fuyue said, "We really don't need anyone to join us."
Seeing Ye Fuyue's resolute attitude, Zhang Huiyun sighed in disappointment: "Okay."
She was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and turned to Ye Fuyue and said, "Don't tell anyone what I just said to you, especially the people in our dormitory and our class."
"I won't tell them." Ye Fuyue gave her a reassuring smile.
Only then did Zhang Huiyun leave with peace of mind.
Ye Fuyue watched Zhang Huiyun walk away, thinking: Zhang Huiyun is quite smart, even knowing how to invest and share profits. However, let alone now that the bun shop is on track, even when she, Zhong Lan, and Cui Li first started selling buns, she didn't need anyone else to join. If she didn't have money, she wouldn't do business.
Not long after Zhang Huiyun left, Tian Hao arrived.
"Ye Fuyue," Tian Hao said to her with a smile, "Give me a shepherd's purse bun, a vermicelli bun, a pickled mustard greens bun, two cabbage and pork buns, two pure meat buns, a bowl of fermented rice wine and egg, and three bowls of peanut cheese. I'll take them all."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue said, and signaled Zhong Lan and Cui Li to pack buns and sweet water for Tian Hao.
Ye Fuyue chatted with Tian Hao: "You bought so much, is it for the whole family?"
"Yes. Zhenzhen just gave birth and is still in the hospital. I came out to buy some food for everyone." Tian Hao smiled and showed his teeth.
"Zhenzhen gave birth? Congratulations!" Ye Fuyue laughed. "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A girl." Tian Hao's smile was almost reaching his ears, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Girls are good and considerate." Ye Fuyue said.
Tian Hao nodded: "Zhenzhen and I have been looking forward to having a baby girl, and this time we got it."
Tian Hao glanced into the shop and asked Ye Fuyue: "Chen Yao and Shen Shun are not here."
"Chen Yao took the children out to play, and Chen Shun was at home making a wooden boat. He said he learned it from you and will give it to Haohao, Ranran, and Qiqi to play with after it's done."
Tian Hao said: "Indeed, I taught him how to do it. He said he wanted to make a wooden boat, so I taught him. I didn't expect that he was quite talented in carpentry. He also told me that when he became proficient, he would make the furniture you designed."
"He also said such a thing?" Ye Fuyue was surprised.
Tian Hao nodded. "He said the furniture you designed was very beautiful, different from what was sold outside. However, he was quite disappointed when he learned that you were not cooperating with Xiangyang Furniture Factory, thinking that he would never have the chance to make furniture designed by you. I told him that you had designed so many pieces of furniture in the past, and he could just make one like you and put it in his home. Only then did he become more motivated."
Ye Fuyue pondered the meaning behind Tian Hao's words: "Does he want to join the Xiangyang Furniture Factory?"
"Yeah." Tian Hao said, "Before the college entrance examination, he told me that if he didn't get into university, he would go to Xiangyang Furniture Factory as a carpenter like me, and asked me to recommend him. But you know, I'm a rather introverted person. I only have a few close friends in the factory, and my relationship with the leaders is average. How can I recommend him to Xiangyang Furniture Factory? I can only wait until Xiangyang Furniture Factory is looking for carpenters, and then I'll see if I can recommend him. However, the factory has hired a lot of carpenters in the past few years, and I don't think they will hire any new carpenters in the next few years. I asked him to see if the other two furniture factories are looking for carpenters."
Ye Fuyue nodded, said nothing, and handed Tian Hao the buns and sweet water he wanted.
After paying the money, Tian Hao left in a hurry.
Ye Fuyue was still thinking about what Tian Hao had just said.
In the past two years, Xiangyang Furniture Factory did recruit quite a few carpenters because of its stable cooperation with foreign countries. Now Xiangyang Furniture Factory has no shortage of carpenters and will certainly not recruit new carpenters for the time being.
Not to mention the other two furniture factories. Ever since Xiangyang Furniture Factory made more and more money, the other two furniture factories' business has been declining. Not to mention recruiting new carpenters, many carpenters have no work to do and are idle in the factories all day.
Ye Fuyue only knew that Shen Shun had become obsessed with carpentry since last year. She thought it was because Shen Shun was under a lot of academic pressure and was doing carpentry to relieve it, but she didn't expect that Shen Shun had wanted to develop this interest for a long time.
Ye Fuyue sat on the bench, tapping her fingers unconsciously on the table, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
After returning home that night, Ye Fuyue told Shen Yao about this idea.
"What do you think about me opening a shop selling furniture?"
Chen Yao was slightly surprised by Ye Fuyue's sudden idea and asked, "Is the bun shop's business not doing well?"
"It has nothing to do with the bun shop." Ye Fuyue told Chen Yao everything that Tian Hao said to her when she met him today.
"It just suddenly occurred to me that if I draw furniture plans, Shen Shun makes them according to the draft, and we sell them, I'm sure I'll make more money than I would from drawing designs for Xiangyang Furniture Factory."
Shen Yao said: "Simply speaking of making money, it is definitely more than your previous cooperation with Xiangyang Furniture Factory. However, are you overestimating Shen Shun's ability? He only started carpentry last year. Can he make a whole piece of furniture by himself?"
Ye Fuyue murmured: "You are right, Chen Shun may not have the ability yet."
"Don't think about opening a shop to sell furniture and let Shen Shun help you just because Shen Shun wants to work as a carpenter in a furniture factory and no furniture factory is hiring carpenters now. I have already talked to the people in the first factory, and soon Shen Shun will be able to work as an apprentice in the first factory." Shen Yao said.
"It's not because Shen Shun wants to be a carpenter that I want to open a furniture store." Ye Fuyue said.
