Jiang Rou began to recall the past. During her imprisonment, Sister Hong visited her regularly and brought her things, which was an important reason why she did not commit suicide.
Hongjie told her that she would wait for her outside.
She started from the beginning, working in a restaurant and gradually expanding her business. She thought it would grow bigger and bigger, but who knew that Lu Ming, who was a hopeless case, failed to win Ji Tingting's heart and began to give up on himself.
Because he got into a fight and injured someone, he was required to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation, which prevented him from going to jail.
Sister Hong had no choice but to sell the grand hotel to cover his financial losses.
Eventually, the restaurant shrank to just one small shop, which was the one Jiang Ning went to.
Hongjie had considered borrowing money from Jiang Jianguo, but after Xue Mei's paternity test confirmed that she was Jiang's daughter, she, who had nothing left, simply moved into Jiang's house and took on the job of taking care of Jiang Jianguo.
Li Damei was fired by her directly.
Of course, Li Damei didn't leave so easily after not getting any benefits from Jiang Jianguo; she even brought her son to cause trouble.
Xue Mei is a formidable person; she immediately called the police and drove them away.
Later, after Feng Shuyao was released from prison, she brought her back and let her parents live with her.
From Feng Shuyao, she also learned the secret that Jiang Jianguo possessed a mysterious treasure.
However, living together was truly a miserable experience for the elderly couple; they disliked each other but had no choice but to stay together.
When the two of them are alone with Xue Mei, they talk badly about each other.
When Sister Hong went over, the family was fighting!
Upon hearing that she wanted to borrow money, Xue Mei grabbed a large broom and pounced on her.
Not only did Sister Hong not receive the money, but she was also scolded by Xue Mei for half an hour.
"You vixen! I almost got killed because of you back then! You scourge, you deserve to die!"
When Sister Hong's restaurant couldn't stay afloat, she tried to sabotage it by calling the Industry and Commerce Bureau one day and the Health Bureau the next, just to cause trouble for the restaurant.
It's so easy to find fault with such a big restaurant.
She had to sell the grand hotel.
Later, Lu Ming managed to avoid going to jail, but he was implicated in a gambling case.
This time, she suffered a stroke in a fit of anger.
She survived after emergency treatment, but was left paralyzed on one side of her body and has been staying in a rehabilitation hospital ever since.
The monthly rehabilitation cost is over a thousand yuan, plus another thousand yuan for caregivers, so it costs at least three thousand yuan a month.
The small restaurant used to do quite well, making more than 10,000 yuan in profit a month.
But after deducting the cost of taking care of Sister Hong, and the money Lu Ming occasionally lost gambling, the family's savings were quickly depleted.
The house I had saved up to buy had to be sold to cover the financial hole.
Now, all that's left in the family is the house we live in now and the restaurant.
After changing chefs, the restaurant was barely surviving and was on the verge of breaking even.
"Xiaoming, given the current situation, let alone not having money to invest, we might not even be able to keep the house we're living in now. The only thing we can do right now is probably to bring Mom back from the rehabilitation hospital and let her fend for herself," Jiang Rou said worriedly.
Lu Ming was furious: "How could you say such a thing! She's your mother! While you were in jail, she visited you regularly and brought you money and things. You're simply ungrateful!"
Thinking of everything his mother had done for his sister, he felt heartbroken. How could she be so heartless when he needed her?
Jiang Rou was hurt by his words. Ever since Sister Hong had her accident, she had been the one taking care of her. What was Lu Ming doing?
Now they're trying to blackmail her from a moral high ground.
“Fine, I can continue to pay for Mom’s money, but you can’t ask me for money anymore. You also need to go out and find a job, even if it only earns a few hundred yuan a month, it will ease the burden on the family.” Jiang Rou took the opportunity to make her demands.
Lu Ming looked down on a job that paid only a few hundred yuan and immediately turned hostile:
"I knew it, you were just waiting for me! I work myself to the bone all month for a few hundred dollars, what am I supposed to do for that! You just don't want to give me the money, why don't you just sell the restaurant, we'll split it in half, and then we'll never see each other again."
"What about Mom? You're leaving me to take care of her all by myself? You're incredibly selfish. You don't want to bring her back because you don't want to take care of her!" Jiang Rou rarely snapped at him like that.
She was grateful for Sister Hong's unwavering support and also showed great affection for her half-brother. Who knew he would still be so unambitious, already in his thirties and with a marriage prospect.
No woman wanted to marry him.
It seems the Lu family line will end with him.
Amidst the commotion, Jiaojiao had already completed the recruitment of garment workers according to plan.
Jiang Ning gave her an old factory. After taking over, she immediately investigated the original factory's personnel and analyzed the reasons for the factory's continuous losses.
There are several main aspects to this.
First, the factory's equipment is outdated; they are still using old machines, which result in low work efficiency, high failure rate, and high product defect rate.
Secondly, the factory leaders were all lining their own pockets, and no one was actually doing any work. Corruption existed in everything from raw material procurement to production and final sales.
Third, the product designs are too outdated and have no advantage over other brands, resulting in products that cannot be sold despite being produced.
To change this situation, a thorough reform is necessary.
In response to the aging equipment, Jiaojiao purchased the most advanced sewing machine and edge-sewing machine.
The factory's positioning has been adjusted.
She decided to abandon the branding route and instead pursue OEM manufacturing.
From now on, all other brands can bring their own design drafts to place orders.
The factory will produce clothes according to the order requirements.
This immediately solved the problem of unsold orders.
The factory will only produce raw materials after receiving an order, thus avoiding unnecessary waste.
The original factory leaders, upon hearing that they were going to be fired, initially held a very arrogant attitude.
"A little girl like her dares to point fingers at us; she's just trying to scare us. Without us, their equipment won't even start."
"That's right, those workers all listen to us. If we weren't here, they would have turned on us like crazy!"
However, they were quickly proven wrong.
Those older workers who want to stay must pass training and assessment.
Both new and veteran workers are facing the same new machines.
The new workers are all young women with strong learning abilities, and they learn very quickly.
Those older workers who want to stay must perform well.
Jiaojiao still takes good care of the older workers. As long as they are serious, she will keep them even if they are a little slow.
On the contrary, all the incompetent leaders were persuaded to resign.
It's no use them trying to cause trouble.
Jiaojiao gave them the opportunity to participate in training, but they were too arrogant and didn't want to be workers at all.
Little did they know that in the future, these workers would earn more than the previous leadership.
