"Here~"
At noon, Song Jia brought He Xiao to the state-run restaurant. Seeing Jiang Ning waving, she smiled and walked over.
The food had already been ordered, and after they arrived, the group began to eat and chat.
The young people at the textile factory, knowing that Song Jia could buy review materials, all went to her office to register, and now she already has dozens of orders.
She hoped Lin Chen could bring the documents over as soon as possible.
"No problem, I'll pick it up after I finish eating. If you're in a hurry next time, you can also pick it up at the printing factory; I'll give you the address and contact person."
He didn't want to leave Jiang Ning and come to the county town alone, but Jiang Ning was heavily pregnant, and it wasn't easy for her to come.
Song Jia took the note and happily agreed.
While the group was talking, Jiang Ning clearly sensed that a girl at the next table was glancing at them.
"Jiajia, do you know that girl next to you?" Jiang Ning whispered in Song Jia's ear.
Song Jia glanced at it and shook her head.
"I don't recognize him. But he looks vaguely familiar."
As the two were talking, the girl who had been stealing glances at them walked up to them and introduced herself:
"Hello, my name is Lu Ling, and I also work at the textile factory. You may not know me, Officer Song, but I saw you when you were in the finance department."
Song Jia suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was actually Liu Jun's girlfriend.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Unsure whether the other person was hostile or friendly, she smiled politely.
"Is there something you need?"
Lu Ling pursed her lips, revealing an apologetic expression. "I'm very sorry about Liu Jun. I really didn't know he would do such a thing."
If I could, I would like to make amends for his mistakes.
Song Jia's expression suddenly turned serious. After glancing at He Xiao, she said to her:
"You're just his girlfriend, there's no need for you to do anything for him. Since it's all in the past and he's already gone, let's leave it at that!"
She had heard Liu Jun say that he and his girlfriend were introduced by someone and had only been dating for a few months, so she didn't feel the need to make an innocent person responsible.
Lu Ling insisted on this, and even revealed that she had taken the formaldehyde that Liu Jun used to poison him from the laboratory.
He Xiao was shocked; it turned out that the formaldehyde that had gone missing from the lab was taken by her.
Textile factories need to use some chemical raw materials for purposes such as wrinkle prevention in fabrics.
There was a small laboratory in the factory with four or five employees. Lu Ling did not admit it during the initial investigation.
He Xiao stood up and looked at her with a sharp gaze.
Before he could speak, Lu Ling spoke first.
"Director He, I know what you mean. I didn't tell the truth before because my father wouldn't allow it. Now that I've resigned, I don't want to carry this burden anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Song Jia immediately stood up, comforted He Xiao, and made him sit down.
Then he gave Lu Ling an awkward laugh and said, "There's no need to resign. I'll say it again, I won't hold you responsible, so don't feel guilty."
Lu Ling seemed a little moved, her eyes slightly red, and continued:
"Thank you for forgiving me. Please accept this. I know you have a lot of review materials. My uncle runs a bookstore in Shanghai. Perhaps you can sell your books through his bookstore."
My uncle's bookstore is newly opened, and he hopes to find more partners.
As she spoke, she handed Song Jia a business card.
This is a very formal business card, which reads "[Science and Technology Bookstore] [Lu Zheng]", followed by "Manager" and a landline number at the bottom.
Shanghai's economy is leading the country, and its bookstores are not limited to Xinhua Bookstore. The Science and Technology Bookstore is a new establishment by the Commerce Bureau and has the right to decide which types of books to sell.
After watching Lu Ling leave, Song Jia happily handed her business card to Jiang Ning.
"Why don't you give it a try? Maybe the book will sell in Shanghai."
Jiang Ning and Lin Chen exchanged a glance and said solemnly:
"Since this business card is for you, let's entrust this matter to you as your full agent."
Song Jia looked bewildered. "What does 'agent' mean?"
Jiang Ning explained with a smile: "It's like we sell the books to you, and then you sell them in Shanghai. For major clients, we usually offer a 20% discount, but we'll give you a 40% discount. As for what discount you offer, that's your business."
Lin Chen thought this method was good; selling in this way could significantly increase sales volume and achieve the effect of small profits but quick turnover.
He couldn't help but pat Jiang Ning's head and say that she was really clever to come up with such a good sales method.
Song Jia hugged He Xiao, overjoyed, and looked up to ask for his opinion:
"Do you think I really can do it?"
With study materials in such high demand now, she believes that once they are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, they will be snapped up, and she can make a profit of several hundred or even a thousand yuan, which would be a huge fortune.
He Xiao looked at her with a smile, his face full of doting: "Do whatever you want to do. But since you've already registered for the college entrance examination, you should still focus your main energy on it."
Lin Chen hurriedly said, "Director He, don't worry, Song Jia will be in charge of the liaison work for this matter. As for the trivial matters of shipping, I will handle them so as not to interfere with her normal review."
After the group made the agreement, they went straight to the post office.
Song Jia nervously dialed the number on the business card.
Perhaps Lu Ling had already given the word, because Lu Zheng was very enthusiastic after receiving the call, expressing his willingness to cooperate and his desire to come to Hunan Province to personally inspect the situation soon.
"No problem, you're welcome to come anytime."
Song Jia put down the phone and happily grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, cheering.
Jiang Ning never expected that the book sales would develop in this direction.
What Lin Chen had always wanted to do was to open up the market in his home province.
Regardless, this is good news.
After parting ways with Song Jia and the others, the two went to the printing factory and told Shen Bo the good news.
Shen Bo nervously rubbed his hands together:
"Oh dear, people from the Shanghai Bookstore are coming to the factory for an inspection. I need to prepare properly."
Because the printing factory has been rushing to meet its production targets, other matters have been put on hold, and the cleanliness of the environment has not been maintained well.
If business volume really increases further, the current number of workers in the factory will not be enough, and we will have to consider hiring more people.
Lu Chen advised him not to be nervous and to let the human resources department handle these matters, emphasizing that the most important thing was to ensure the quality of the book.
Another key question is whether the existing paper and ink supply is sufficient if we want to increase printing volume.
Shen Bo nodded repeatedly as he listened, suddenly feeling a heavier burden on his shoulders, yet also a surge of strength within him.
Lin Chen rode his bicycle with Jiang Ning on the back, speeding home with great joy.
From initially dealing in watches, bicycles, and sewing machines, to later dealing in polyester and wood ear mushrooms, and now dealing in study materials, they have gone through so much, and are finally only one step away from a true business model.
Today's events represent a major turning point and a significant breakthrough, and they have decided to invite Lin Qiao home to celebrate.
Lin Chen rode his bike to the intersection opposite the Sixth Middle School, turned the handlebars, and rode in...
