"Well, just give him a few days' notice! Once things are done over there, we can move in right away!" This landlord was not fair, so Jiang Yue naturally couldn't continue to rent the house here.
However, in order to prevent the landlord from causing trouble, we still have to stabilize the landlord before finding a new storefront.
At this time, Jiang Yue took out twenty yuan and handed it to Lian Rongrong, "Rongrong, you paid the rent, take the money!"
"Don't do that!" Lian Rongrong pushed the money back and turned to take out the account book and a stack of money. "You gave me enough salary and bonus. I took out a little to pay the rent, but you still ask you for money. You are such a jerk!"
"Here, this is the income record during the time you were away. I took the initiative to pay my own salary and that of my sister-in-law Aunt Cuiling. Take a look!"
After hearing what Lian Rongrong said, Jiang Yue took it and looked through it.
After reading it, she smiled and said, "Rongrong, I want to discuss something with you. I plan to open a branch store. Are you interested in going to the city or the provincial capital to be my store manager?"
Lian Rongrong's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, "You want to open a branch? Great! I have experience now, I can be the store manager!"
Jiang Yue patted Lian Rongrong and said, "Don't you need to discuss this with your Wang Weixu?"
Lian Rongrong curled her lips when she heard Wang Weixu's name. "Since I started working with you, I earn several months' salary of his in a month. He really supports me now! Besides, he can't come out during the weekdays, so we only get together on weekends. He's been on a mission recently, and I haven't seen him for more than half a month!"
After a pause, Lian Rongrong sighed and said with emotion: "Jiang Yue, I now realize that you are right. Women should have their own careers! Otherwise, if you just ask men for money, with your palm facing up, you are inferior to them. If you are in a good mood, you will give me two more. If you are in a bad mood, you will scold me for spending so much money."
"Since I started getting paid, I feel like I've straightened my back! Last month, Wang Weixu's mother and sister-in-law came over and were very nice to me. They used to say that I was a hen that didn't lay eggs, but this time, I bought each of them a set of clothes and a lot of food, and now they don't even mention the fact that I still don't have children."
Jiang Yue couldn't help but smile when she heard what Lian Rongrong said. "That's it! The teacher always said that we women can hold up half the sky. Look, we women are not incapable of doing business, right?"
"Yeah!" Lian Rongrong is now full of admiration for Jiang Yue. Whenever Wang Weixu teases her at home, she treats everything Jiang Yue says as an imperial decree.
"Sister Jiang Yue, Sister Rongrong is going to the city to be a store manager, so your store will be short of people. What can I do here?" Yang Cuiling couldn't help but feel envious when she heard Lian Rongrong's sigh.
"Of course!" What Jiang Yue didn't say was that she planned to wait until the end of the year when the general meeting was over and the economy was liberalized, then she would apply to set up a company specializing in clothing trade. By then, she would have to recruit people. At present, the only people she could trust were the few people around her. If she trained them well, they would all be her capable assistants in the future.
"Cui Ling, is Auntie in the store? I have something to talk to her about." When Jiang Yue just came here, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, met Su Xin, bought some cloth, and planned to find Auntie Yang to make new clothes.
"I'm here!" Yang Cuiling said, "Sister Jiang Yue, are you going over now? I'll go with you. My grandma will be so happy to see you!"
Jiang Yue talked to Lian Rongrong for a while. Ningning obviously came to the clothing store often. When Jiang Yue was talking, she went to play by herself. When Jiang Yue was about to leave, she consciously waited beside the bicycle.
"Jiang Yue, Ningning is so concerned about you. When you first left, she looked for you everywhere and cried for several days. We took turns to comfort her, but it didn't work." Lian Rongrong saw Jiang Yue's eyes turn red as she spoke, so she quickly stopped talking, "Oh, look at me, I have to say all this. You, it would be great if you came back!"
Jiang Yue looked at Ningning's small figure, feeling sad and guilty. Although she and Ningning had only been together for a few months, and she sometimes even forgot her identity as a mother, children are very innocent and don't think so much. It was obvious that Ningning really regarded her as a mother.
"Jiang Yue, have you and Captain Gu solved your problems?" Lian Rongrong started gossiping again, actually trying to divert Jiang Yue's attention.
"Well, it's solved!"
Jiang Yue left the clothing store and went directly to the old street. When Aunt Yang saw Jiang Yue, she was not only happy, but also burst into tears.
"Auntie, look at my new design." Jiang Yue took out two drawings and showed Auntie Yang the bell-bottom pants she had drawn.
"Is it convenient to wear such big trouser legs?" Aunt Yang had never seen such strange trousers.
"It's convenient and looks good!" Jiang Yue took out the cloth she bought, one piece was white and the other was purple.
"Okay! When do you want it?" After measuring Jiang Yue's size, Aunt Yang smiled and said, "Girl, you've gained some weight, but this little bit of weight is just right. If you were a little more or a little less, you wouldn't look as good as you do now!"
"Just these two days." Jiang Yue was praised and felt very happy, smiling.
"Besides, you look very healthy this time. Your face is as beautiful as a newly bloomed flower. I like it so much!" Aunt Yang also smiled.
When Jiang Yue came to Aunt Yang to make clothes for the first time, both Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling were lifeless. The grandparents and grandchildren silently operated the sewing machines in this small room, earning less than a dozen yuan a month. Although their life was not so bad that they could not make ends meet, it was not very good either.
Later, Jiang Yue brought business to the tailor shop. Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling made more money, their lives improved, and they gradually smiled again.
In the evening, Gu Ye brought good news to Jiang Yue, "I found a house. It's on Ying Street, opposite the current store. There are three rooms in a row. The rent is five yuan a month."
"Three rooms for five dollars?" Jiang Yue was surprised. She rented her current store for two rooms, which cost six dollars.
"Yes, I'll take you to have a look tomorrow at noon. The landlord is a nice guy and we've dealt with each other before."
"OK!"
The next day at noon, Jiang Yue met the new landlords, an elderly couple. The old man used to be a soldier and spoke very straightforwardly. The old woman had a kind face and seemed to have a good temper.
These three stores are not far from the department store. This is the main street in Qingshan County and is usually busy. Jiang Yue is very satisfied with the new stores.
Moreover, this house is not just a separate storefront. There is a yard at the back and two rooms behind the yard. It used to be a residence and the area is quite large.
Such a big house only cost five dollars a month. Jiang Yue signed the contract and paid a year's rent.
The house had been uninhabited for some time and needed some renovation. Gu Ye told Jiang Yue not to worry about it and he would find someone to do it.
After a few more days, the three storefronts had been renovated. The roofs were re-tiled, the leaks were repaired, the walls were painted white, and the floor was made of cement, looking brand new.
Jiang Yue was counting the days; the package she had sent back from Guangcheng should be arriving soon.
