Chapter 121 Become famous early
After Yu Yang left, Xia Yuan picked up the last two issues of the newspaper, found "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" and read it carefully.
She was not responsible for the novel serialization section. Although she knew that the novel "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" was serialized in the newspaper, she did not care.
Now that I've read it carefully, I realize it's truly well-written. The language is vivid, and the story is grounded in reality, as if it were happening right around the corner. And if I savor it more carefully, I realize it has profound educational implications, both for children and their parents.
She could never have imagined that such a novel was written by a nine-year-old child.
If this novel continues to be popular, this child will definitely become famous and become a genius child that attracts the attention of the whole country.
“Be famous!”
Xia Yuan kept repeating these three words...
After work that afternoon, she rode her bike home, clutching the latest two issues of the newspaper. She lived in the Renmin University staff housing complex, which had been built just a year earlier and housed only faculty and their families.
When she reached the third floor, two women in their forties who were washing vegetables in the corridor greeted her, "You're back from get off work."
Xia Yuan hummed and walked into her house. The two people washing vegetables were embarrassed by her coldness and curled their lips.
"Why are you so proud? You just came from a government compound. You have the ability to live in a government compound forever."
"Exactly. Look, Shao Yuhe is completely controlled by her."
…
Xia Yuan entered the house, which had three bedrooms and a living room. Given her husband Shao Yuhe's qualifications and their family's circumstances, they shouldn't have been allocated such a large house. But she spoke to the leaders of the People's Congress, and the house was allocated to them.
She went to her daughters' rooms, knocked on the door, and went in. The eldest daughter hadn't gotten home from work yet, and the youngest was doing homework. She walked over, took out the newspaper, and turned to the page with "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled?" and said, "Hanhan, take a look at this novel."
Shao Yunhan stopped writing, took a look at the newspaper, and said, "It's quite interesting."
Xia Yuan sat down next to her and whispered, "The girl who wrote this novel is the same age as you, both nine years old."
Shao Yunhan was a little unhappy when she heard this. She was pretty and good at studying, and everyone around her praised her. She couldn't stand hearing others say they were better than her.
"I think you can write a novel like this," Xia Yuan said. "As long as you write it, Mom can have it published in the newspaper or even published. Then, you'll be a nationally renowned child prodigy."
Shao Yunhan's eyes lit up, and her pretty face was full of brilliance. "Okay, Mom, I'll start writing now."
Xia Yuan patted her head with satisfaction and left the room. She believed her daughter could definitely write it, and when she polished it up, it would definitely be better than "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled," more popular, and more successful.
By then, her little daughter Hanhan will become a gifted child who will attract more attention, and more fame and fortune will follow. On this basis, Hanhan's future will be even brighter.
Of course she also knew the story of Zhongyong, but as long as she was there, such a thing would not happen to Hanhan.
Gu Siqing naturally didn't know what was happening in Kyoto. Their family's life was going on as usual. At the beginning of February in the lunar calendar, Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi went to Shenzhen again to prepare spring clothes.
After spending two days in Shenzhen, they bought the yard they had been eyeing. It wasn't large, covering about 300 square meters, and the price was similar to the house in Lizhou, just over 4,000 yuan. After buying the house, they each went to stock up on their own goods.
Back in Lizhou, Gu Erhui and her team had a client from Lizhou's South City who wanted to sell some of their goods there. The store was running low on stock, with only a few dozen pieces left. After those items were sold, they would move directly to spring collections.
Gu Erhui told the customer, "As you can see, we only have this much clothing left. Spring collections are coming soon, and we won't be restocking any more, so these clothes are not returnable."
They could return or exchange goods before, but the remaining clothes could not be returned or exchanged. Gu Erhui felt that she should explain it clearly to her to avoid any arguments in the future.
Zhou Rongrong looked at the clothes in the store and asked, "Can they be cheaper?"
She was petite and charming, with a seductive voice and a voluptuous demeanor. When she looked at people, her eyes seemed to have hooks. Gu Xueqiang, the honest young man, had already left the store. He couldn't stand it anymore.
Gu Erhui had met all kinds of people since she started her business. Although this was her first time meeting someone like Zhou Rongrong, she treated her customers the same way she would any other customer, smiling and saying, "Because this is our last batch of goods and we can't return or exchange them, we can give you a discount."
"Okay, I want all these goods. Can you tell me how much they cost?" Zhou Rongrong said, glancing at Gu Xueqiang outside and chuckling.
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui pretended not to notice, one counting the goods while the other doing the accounting. When they were done, Gu Erhui said, "Based on the original price, these goods will cost a total of 524. I'll charge you 400. This is a loss-making price, and I'm selling it all. But we agreed that there will be no returns or exchanges."
Zhou Rongrong smiled charmingly again, "Okay."
As she said this, she took out 400 yuan and handed it to Gu Erhui, but did not take the goods and leave immediately. Instead, she sat in the store and waited, saying that she could not carry so many goods and someone would come to pick her up later.
About half an hour later, a burly man in his twenties with a gangster-like look walked in. Without saying anything, he tied the goods to his bicycle and left. Zhou Rongrong also smiled and rode away on her bicycle.
The goods were sold out, and the three siblings began to clean up the house. New goods would be arriving in the next two days, so the house needed to be properly tidied. Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui even teased Gu Xueqiang, saying that he must never find a partner like Zhou Rongrong, which made Gu Xueqiang blush.
Three days later, the goods arrived. When she opened them, she saw a sweater, a skirt, and leggings. The styles were very fashionable, and Gu Siqing felt that they were no different from those of decades later.
However, fashion is a cycle. Pencil pants are popular this year, wide-leg pants are popular next year, and pencil pants may be popular again the year after.
But in the eyes of Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui, this dress is a little too fashionable to be accepted.
"Our dad's vision is really..." Gu Erhui didn't know what words to use to describe it.
"Ahead of the times." Gu Siqing said.
Gu Erhui nodded, "That's what I mean."
In reality, it wasn't Gu Jianguo's foresight; it was simply that the spring clothing produced by Shenzhen garment factories was generally similar. Based on his experience selling flat-top clothing, he felt that the people of Lizhou were very receptive to new things.
They should be able to accept these spring clothes.
As expected, the next day, after Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui put on the new clothes, they ordered two sets before they even left the alley. The response was positive for the next week.
Because this batch of goods was just a test run, it sold out within a week. Three days later, Gu Jianguo returned with another batch. On the same day, Zhou Rongrong, who had previously received the remaining goods, came to return them, saying they weren't selling well and insisted on a refund. If they refused, they'd face the store's closure.
