Qin Yalan said with a smile: "As a woman, I will get married sooner or later. Why should I earn a fortune?"
Tian An crossed his arms exaggeratedly and made an X sign to her, "Sister Yalan! This kind of thinking of yours is unacceptable! How can a woman not need a family fortune? That is your pocket money before marriage and your status in your husband's family after marriage!"
Think about it, if you have nothing and you marry someone and eat and use their things, will you have a say in their affairs?
Qin Yalan thought for a moment and said, "My father prepared a lot of dowry for me."
Tian An shook his head and said, "The things that Master Qin prepared are all useless. If you use one, it will be one less. If you don't have any special skills and your husband's family doesn't like you, you might lose even the dowry you brought with you if you are not careful.
He pointed to his head and said, "But what you learn in your head will always be yours and will never betray you. We must use limited conditions to create unlimited wealth, rather than living off our resources..."
Qin Yalan looked at the velvet flower in her hand and thought seriously about what Tian An said. Tian An ignored her and let her digest and absorb it.
After a long while, Qin Yalan raised her head and said, "Just like An An? With something in her head, she can stand up immediately no matter what difficult conditions she finds herself in."
Seeing that she understood, Tian An smiled and said, "Money is not everything, but without money, you can't do anything.
Have you ever seen something you like, but you are short of money and can't ask Mr. Qin for money? If you can earn money yourself, your wallet will be full and you won't find yourself in this embarrassing situation.
It’s the same in my husband’s family.”
Qin Yalan silently recited what Tian An said, and her mind seemed to become clear. "My father feels that he can't take care of me all my life, and he always wants to find a good husband for me. But how many families can be considered good? And how lucky am I that I can be the one? It's better for me to stand on my own feet and take care of myself. It's better to trust myself than to trust others!"
Tian An extended his hand to Qin Yalan and said, "Congratulations, Sister Yalan, on welcoming a new self."
Qin Yalan thought about it and stretched out her hand like her. The two smiled at each other, and the two slender and delicate hands were clasped together, suddenly shining brightly.
After the lyrical speech, Qin Yalan immediately entered the role: "Then how much money does An An plan to spend to hire me?"
Tian An didn't hesitate, but raised his hand to make a two sign, "Two choices.
First, it will be paid monthly. For now, I'll give you 5 taels a month. I'll increase it later depending on the situation.
Second, we will share the profits. If the pattern you drew is made, you will get 20% of it."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Actually, there is a third option. Do you want to hear it?"
Qin Yalan raised her chin slightly, "I'd like to hear the details."
"The third option is that we invest together and split the profits and losses equally."
Qin Yalan looked at Tian An in surprise and said in disbelief, "You were the one who came up with the idea of Ronghua. A 50-50 split is too much for you. How can I take advantage of you?"
Tian An said indifferently: "We are best friends! We don't care about this."
Qin Yalan thought about it and shook her head. "I know my own worth. I can't cheat you. I'll choose the second option!"
Tian An respected her choice, turned around and wrote the contract, then signed and stamped his handprint, and handed it to her, "Sign your name, and the contract will take effect."
Qin Yalan said with a smile: "Why make it so troublesome! You can't lie to me." She complained, but still took the pen, wrote her name and put her fingerprints on it.
Tian An picked up the contract, kept one for himself, and handed the other to Qin Yalan, "Make two copies, we each keep one."
"Okay, why make it so formal?" Qin Yalan took the contract with a smile, folded it in half a few times and put it away.
After the contract was signed, Qin Yalan said she could start work right away. Tian An immediately ordered people to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as inspiration does not wait for anyone.
Qin Yalan was suddenly inspired and drew several pictures that day. After He Tianan made some revisions, she immediately gave them to Mangzhong and the others to produce.
The production of velvet flowers was on track, so Tian An drew a blueprint and asked Chen Qiang to find someone to make a custom-made jewelry stall similar to a modern one, with a roof on which samples could be displayed and space underneath for inventory. The cart could also be disassembled and put on a carriage to be pulled away.
Ten days later, the stall was ready, and the velvet flowers and lipstick and hand cream were almost prepared. Tian An and Qin Yalan discussed and prepared to set up the stall the next day.
The candidates for the stalls were Deng Yuan, Qiu Tian, Lan Niang, and Dong Wan. Deng Yuan was responsible for setting up the stall, the heavy lifting during closing, and guarding the stall. Qiu Tian was responsible for calling out to attract customers, Dong Wan was responsible for introducing and promoting the products, and Lan Niang was responsible for calculating the bills and collecting the money, as well as assisting Dong Wan.
The location for the stall was chosen on East Street, a bustling and lively street at the junction of the outer city and the inner city. There are various stalls here on weekdays. It is also close to the vegetable market and has a large flow of people. Almost all women will come here to hang out when they go out. It is an excellent place to set up a stall.
On the first day of setting up their stall, Tian An and Qin Yalan had to go check out the situation. They each chose a velvet flower to wear, and when the carriage was about to reach East Street, they got off and walked, personally modeling their own velvet flowers.
As they walked from the street to the stall, they found that many girls would secretly look at them from time to time, or to be more precise, at the velvet flowers on their heads.
The two smiled at each other. Tian An's eyes turned, and he raised his hand to adjust the velvet flower on his head and said, "Sister Yalan, this velvet flower is so beautiful. Let's go see if they have any other new products! I want to buy two more to match my other dresses."
Qin Yalan also quickly reacted, "Then let's go now! This velvet flower is beautiful and not expensive, so it won't hurt to buy a few more. If we go too late, I'm afraid they will be gone."
Then the two of them discovered that there were several women following them.
When they arrived at the stall, they were both stunned by the scene before them. They saw that the stall was crowded with people. Qiu Tian didn't even bother to shout, she was already helping to introduce and greet the customers.
The women who came with them could not stand still when they saw so many people gathered in front of the stall. They no longer cared about their modesty and immediately joined in.
The two of them just stood there looking at each other for a while before Qin Yalan lost her patience and pulled Tian An back to draw the blueprints, even using her golden words, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go back. Time is money. Why go shopping? It's a complete waste of time."
On the way back, Tian An reminded Qin Yalan that they could design a set of hairpins and earrings, so that she wouldn't have to worry about matching earrings. If possible, they could also design a wedding set and put it on the stall to display samples. Maybe someone would place an order for a wedding dress.
Qin Yalan's blood boiled after hearing this. She went straight into the study as soon as she got home and didn't even bother to eat dinner.
