After Wan Zhenzhen tried her best to make a prophecy, Wang Hua has been waiting for the New Year's Day gift next month. Although he still said it stubbornly, Wang Hua had already believed it halfway in his heart.
During this time, while Qian Qing's family was busy selling fabrics, Wang Hua was busy asking people for information. There were many employees in the Second Oil Production Plant, and purchasing was a big deal. So more than a month in advance, the logistics department was already busy placing orders and preparing holiday gifts.
This year's New Year's Day gift was exactly as Wan Zhenzhen said, which was soy sauce duck and white rice.
Wang Hua felt blank for a while, but then he felt deeply unwilling.
Wan Zhenzhen is such a fool, who got a chance to be reborn, but she still confined herself to a small world. Does she know how many people in this world dream of getting guidance?
If you knew what to do three years earlier, you would be rich and prosperous for thousands of years.
Wan Zhen was guarding the treasure in vain, but he was only concerned about the few hundred or few thousand rewards he could get by cheating Qian Qing.
It's so stupid!
Wang Hua was heartbroken. If he had the chance to start over again, he would definitely seize every opportunity and reach the top.
Fortunately, he met Wan Zhenzhen, even if Wan Zhenzhen was a fool. He didn't need Wan Zhenzhen to do anything. As long as Wan Zhenzhen told him all the information she knew, he could make a fortune with it.
With this in mind, Wang Hua's attitude towards Wan Zhenzhen also changed.
He allowed Wan Zhenzhen to have whatever she wanted in life, but he would not say a word about his own plans. He had seen that Wan Zhenzhen was a person who only cared about food and not about punishment, and who feared power but not virtue. Such a person should only be kept at home. If he was released, he would harm others and himself.
Thinking of this, Wang Hua's feelings towards Zhou Hao became more complicated.
Zhou Hao is now the deputy captain of the maintenance team, and once Zheng Xian retires in a year or two, the captain's position will be his.
And was he really going to waste his time under Zhou Hao? Previously, he helped Wan Zhenzhen steal Qian Qing's business, and was beaten up by Zhou Hao. In addition, when he was scolding Zheng Xian a while ago, Zhou Hao was also there...
When Zhou Hao comes to power, he will definitely not let me go.
Thinking of Wan Zhenzhen holding her belly and talking about the future glory of self-employed people, and saying that in a few years, the workers in the factory will be living on fixed wages, while those who seize the opportunity to make a fortune will have a guaranteed income as long as they buy a house and land. Wang Hua was also hesitant.
Do you really want to go into the sea?
Even if what Wan Zhenzhen said is true, people who go into business nowadays are still looked down upon.
When Wang Hua was hesitating whether to go into the adult entertainment industry, Qian Qing's clothes were finally put on the shelves.
The small stall in the factory was only three or four square meters, so Zhou Hao prepared a hanging rack for Qian Qing. Qian Qing only needed to match the clothes and hang them up.
In November, most people wore padded clothes and the weather was not too cold, so there were still many people walking around the night market at night.
As the number of people on this night market street increased, people from outside the oil fields gradually came to set up stalls with carts, and some people used their connections to rent stalls from others. During this period, many people came to inquire about Qian Qing's vacant stalls, and some even offered 50 yuan a month.
But it is understandable. People in the surrounding compounds have formed a habit. Some young couples who don't want to cook or eat in the cafeteria at night come here to buy some food and then go shopping. There are also some children who drag their parents here every night. In this case, you can make a profit by selling anything.
After Qian Mu stopped doing business at the night market, the owner of the salty food stall was relieved. Qian Mu had been running the stall for less than half a month, and his stall was almost unable to operate. Now that Qian Mu stopped, he bought more than ten bottles of chili sauce from Qian Mu, and his business was even better than before.
Qian Qing pushed the tricycle to the location, sorted out the clothes one by one and hung them up. Before she had hung up a few pieces, someone came over to ask for the price.
There were five or six coats hanging on the tall rack, each of which was a style no one had ever seen before. The off-white coat was delicate and soft under the light, and the ruffled collar looked playful and cute. The black coat had a perfect waistline, and there was a shiny brooch on the chest of the coat. The most eye-catching one was a long dark green coat, with a wide leather belt tied around the waist. It looked expensive!
But no matter how expensive it is, there are people who can't help but feel excited, such as Xiaomi from the accounting department of the second factory.
Her family was well-off and she had been to Beijing and Shanghai when she was seven or eight years old. She also had several relatives in Guangzhou.
Therefore, Xiaomi always thinks that she is very fashionable, and her daily dress is often criticized by the older ladies in the office.
But Xiaomi was unmoved. She didn't care whether it was decent or not. What mattered most was that it looked good. However, there were too few good-looking clothes in Y City. She picked and chose but couldn't find many that caught her eye.
Today was also a coincidence. She was just coming out of the office and was dragged by the new clerk to go to the night market.
"Sister Xiaomi, what do you think of this dress?"
Xiaomi pursed her lips, but finally chose to tell the truth: "This is like a big cotton-padded jacket, it has no shape at all, and it's like wearing a sandbag on your back, and you can only see your broad back and strong waist. If you really want to buy a coat, go to the night market in the Drum Tower area, the clothes there are much better looking than here."
The clerk hesitated for a while and put down the clothes in his hands.
Before Xiaomi said this, she thought this dress looked good in every way. But after Xiaomi said this, she also thought this dress was too bulky. She was already wearing a sweater under her clothes, and with this thick coat, she really looked fat and bloated.
Bathed in the stall owner's unhappy gaze, Xiaomi continued to express his own "aesthetic" concept.
"Clothes at this time have to be nice-looking, the fabrics have to be crisp, but the shape can't be rigid. Just like that coat over there, it has to have lines... eh???"
Xiaomi's eyes lit up instantly. The clothes hanging high on the stall not far away were so much to her liking, especially the dark green waisted coat, which was even more beautiful than the one she had seen in the picture magazine!
Xiaomi almost rushed to Qian Qing's stall.
"That green coat! How much is it?"
Qian Qing saw that the girl in front of her had a pair of round eyes. She must be from a well-off family, so the clothes she wore were of high quality, and she was wearing calfskin shoes. Her face was full of the expression "Sell to me, and I will be your target customer."
"The green one is one hundred dollars."
As soon as these words came out, the people watching secretly around gasped. One hundred yuan! It was as much as two or three months' salary for others!
But Xiaomi doesn’t think it’s expensive. Good clothes should cost this much. If it’s less than one hundred yuan, she would worry if there’s something wrong with the clothes.
"Let me take it down and try it!"
Xiaomi took off her coat and Qian Qing took down her clothes for her. After Xiaomi put them on, she was very satisfied. Her vision was right. This dress suited her complexion very well, especially the dark green color made her skin look even whiter.
The clerk who followed also looked at Xiaomi with envy. She did not have the confidence like Xiaomi, who dared to try on clothes worth one hundred yuan.
Qian Qing tilted her head and looked at Xiaomi for a while, then took off the white one as well.
"Try this one on. I think it suits you better."
The clothes look good on Xiaomi, but she is not very tall, so the dark green coat is a bit cumbersome. Qian Qing thinks that a white coat with lotus leaf collar is more suitable for her. The hem of the coat is decorated with layers of lace, which looks delicate.
Xiaomi picked up the white coat and thought it was worth a try. Although it was not as eye-catching as the dark green one, one could see the care that went into its corners.
As soon as I put it on, I heard the clerk next to me exclaim: "Xiaomi, you look so beautiful in this outfit."
Nowadays, bright and flashy clothes are popular, but the dress Qian Qing recommended to her is cute in style, yet it is cute and playful without being petty.
Xiaomi looked down and could see the lace on the edge of her clothes, but she couldn't see her whole face: "Oh, what should I do if I can't see myself?"
Qian Qing pulled out an arm-length mirror from the tricycle at the back, and Xiaomi had to take two or three steps back before he could see his upper body.
The young woman in the mirror was wearing a loose-fitting off-white top, with a coquettish look between her eyebrows. Xiaomi looked left and right and was reluctant to take it off.
"Boss, how much is this one?"
Qian Qing smiled and said, "Eighty."
"I want it!"
Xiaomi took out the money without saying a word. Her mother's birthday was tomorrow, and she could just buy the money and wear it back to celebrate her mother's birthday.
"etc."
Qian Qing was not in a hurry to collect the money. Instead, he rummaged around from behind the stall for a while and took out a beret.
"Your hair is nice, but it looks a bit dull in a braid. Why don't you let your hair down and try this hat on?"
Xiaomi did as Qian Qing said without thinking. She realized that although the stall was small, the owner had first-rate taste, otherwise how could he buy such beautiful clothes.
With fluffy hair down to her waist and a round hat, Xiaomi's outfit is very striking. Cute and generous.
The extra beret helped Qian Qing earn an extra 20 yuan. Qian Qing, who earned 100 yuan just after opening the shop today, even shared her dressing experience with Xiaomi.
"It would be better if you perm your hair a little, leave some curls on the ends, wear higher boots, and put a white wool scarf around your neck in winter. "
Xiaomi spent the hundred yuan willingly without feeling any pain at all. She liked the hat very much and even asked Qian Qing if he had any extra ones.
Qian Qing calculated the time and told her, "Then you have to wait another half a month. My clothes are all from Guangzhou. It will take at least half a month for the hat to arrive if I order it now."
When Xiaomi heard the word Yangcheng, she sighed in her heart. No wonder the clothes on the stall of the young boss were so beautiful. They were completely different from the clothes sold in other stalls.
"It's okay, I'll be waiting. You have to leave three for me then. I want a black, red, and navy blue hat." Give two to others and keep one for yourself.
"no problem!"
This kind of beret only costs five or six yuan to buy, and I sell it for twenty yuan each, so I can't lose money.
After seeing Xiaomi off, Qian Qing placed two more orders that night. The dark green coat she hung on the top shelf was very successful. Almost everyone who passed by her stall stared at the coat.
Of course, everyone was recommended other clothes by Qian Qing.
That dark green coat is good in every way except that it is a bit picky. If you are a little shorter, it will not look good on you. Qian Qing originally wanted to keep it for herself, but then she thought that if she really liked it, she should keep it. Otherwise, she might not be able to run her stall.
She tried on every piece of clothing before selling it, and Zhou Hao clapped his hands beside her like a seal, saying that every piece looked good.
It's better to sell it. She will definitely have nice clothes to wear in the future anyway.
The next day, Qian Qing went to remit the money to Bai Ping, and then made a phone call to order 100 berets, which she had sent by post.
A hat doesn't take up much space and is convenient for shipping as a parcel, but this is not the case with changing clothes. Not to mention the high postage, the time a large parcel spends on the road is frustrating.
Days passed like this, and after a few days, there was a rumor about the building opposite Zidi Primary School.
Li Hongmei and Qian Qing were not very close, but after the incident with Wan Zhenzhen, Li Hongmei had a very good impression of Qian Qing. That day, she brought up this topic in a subtle way at Qian Qing's stall, saying that she wanted to hear Qian Qing's opinion.
Qian Qing pondered for a while and said, "It depends on the factory, but I want to ask, is this house only for employees, or can outsiders buy it?"
"Both. It seems that the higher-ups intend to set up two levels. Internally, we draw lots to get the qualifications, and then pay for it. Externally, there is a price. But the price externally is definitely not cheap."
Qian Qing: "What if I don't use the factory's quota and buy directly at the outside price? How many sets can I buy at most?"
Li Hongmei was surprised: "Our house is not even finished yet, and you're already thinking about buying a few more? We're still discussing the details, and I'm afraid the people who get to share the houses won't be happy."
Qian Qing really didn't care about the lottery. She had never had good luck, and the internal lottery would definitely cause a lot of trouble. She just wanted to pay for it directly, which was quick and easy.
"Then please ask her when the time comes. You know my mother opened a small shop at the door, and I am also planning to buy a shop to sell clothes. One shop is definitely not enough, so I am thinking of buying two more if possible, otherwise the business will not be able to run."
Li Hongmei looked at Qian Qing's lively stall and couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, I get it. You are also very hardworking, but for us female comrades, being hardworking is a good thing. We won't be stuck in household chores every day, and can't say anything except gossip about the Zhang family and the Li family. I will also talk to Minister Chen Yan about the problem you raised, but you have to be prepared, the money for this storefront is not cheap."
With more than 20,000 yuan in the account as a guarantee, Qian Qing felt confident: "No problem."
Soon, before Qian Yu’s first batch of vermicelli left the factory, news came that Factory 2 was notifying everyone to draw lots.
Qian Qing and Zhou Hao were assigned to the maintenance team's drawing team.
While I was queuing, Wan Zhenzhen, who was wrapped up like a ball, was standing next to me.
