When Xu Xiu was preparing to start reorganizing the factory, he made a three-point agreement with his parents to ensure that he had a certain say in the matter.
Because her parents' factory only did OEM work for Liu Qianxue's family, and the requirements were high and the deadlines were tight, the payments were not timely.
I've heard from the rumors that the factory has recently experienced a sharp drop in orders because they found a manufacturer offering lower prices, which has led to the current situation.
The factory's sales have surged in the past few days, and since it's self-operated, the profit margin is quite substantial.
Most importantly, there are absolutely no additional promotional costs. If Xiu Fanmeng were that big influencer, the commission would probably be incredibly high.
In just one week, they broke one million in revenue. Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting were laughing in their sleep. The factory's original configuration was capable of handling large orders.
It just became unusually busy. At the end of July, Fang Xueting gave his son a card with 200,000 yuan in it, saying it was a bonus for him.
He told the others to arrange their own salaries, and then Xu Xiu called a few people over. Everyone was curious about what Xu Xiu wanted to do by calling them over.
There's been so much information to maintain on all the accounts across various platforms these past few days. Thankfully, the factory hired people to handle customer service, but interacting with fans still relies on just a few of them.
The four sat together. Xu Xiu asked them to give him their bank card numbers, and Xiao Ruoyan took out a credit union card from her small wallet.
She didn't know much about the job, thinking it was just about taking photos in different clothes every day, although it was a bit tiring and she had to sweat a lot every day.
They felt it was much better than working summer jobs. Xu Xiu would prepare delicious food for them every day, and if it was too late at night, he would have the driver take them home.
The most important thing is that I can be with Xu Xiu every day, but the thought of being separated after school starts makes me inexplicably sad.
I was thinking that if I had more than a thousand yuan, I could send money back to my mother and grandfather.
Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan didn't think too much about it. Although they had been working hard lately, the four of them had been really happy working together.
They no longer cared about money; they just let Xu Xiu decide how to distribute it.
After the college entrance examination, everyone except Xiao Ruoyan, who was still using that old Nokia phone, bought smartphones.
After Xu Xiu transferred the money, Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan subconsciously glanced at their phones to check the payment notification.
At first glance, they didn't react much, but upon closer inspection, they were both dumbfounded, thinking that Xu Xiu had pressed an extra zero.
The two men looked up and stared intently at Xu Xiu, their burning gazes giving him goosebumps.
Xiao Ruoyan hadn't received a text message notification and still didn't understand what had happened.
At this moment, Xu Xiu spoke up: "My mom gave me a bonus of 200,000 yuan, and the four of us each received 50,000 yuan."
Xiao Ruoyan thought she had misheard. 50,000 was an astronomical figure for her; 50,000 could have sent her grandfather to the city for medical treatment.
Xiao Ruoyan looked at Xu Xiu and tears streamed down her face. Xu Xiu took out a tissue from the side and handed it to her.
"Xiao, look how excited you are. You deserve all of this. Do you know that more than half of your fans are on various platforms?"
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi also frequently appear in the photos, as some outfits require multiple people to coordinate, but the main model is still Xiao Ruoyan.
"So without you, there would be no Ruoxiu Fanmeng, and we would not have the reward we have today."
"No matter what, we are a team, and no one is more important than another. No matter how big the scale becomes in the future, our income will be split equally."
"However, we will need to sign an agreement later. The money can be split equally, but the final decision-making power is mine. Does anyone have any objections?"
Xiao Ruoyan was the first to shake her head. Ning Bufan patted Xu Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Old Xu, I don't know about the others, but I'll do whatever you say."
"I'll work for you after I graduate from university, hehe."
Wang Mengqi laughed and said, "I can't be bothered with all that nonsense. Just give me the tasks and I'll do my best."
In his previous life, Xu Xiu reached the summit, but there was no one by his side to enjoy the scenery. In this life, he doesn't want the summit; he only wants love, friendship, and family.
"And this account, Ruoxiu Fanmeng..."
Before Xu Xiu could finish speaking, Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan said in unison, "The account was originally yours, we'll just work for you."
Xiao Ruoyan held her bank card tightly, her hand trembling slightly. She had never seen so much money before.
The factory's orders exploded throughout August, and Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting approached Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang with a simple message.
Their family plans to withdraw from the Liu family's supply chain, which is also Xu Xiu's idea.
Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang were surprised, thinking they had overheard something and wondered to themselves, "Could the news about finding other contract manufacturers have leaked?"
However, since the Xu family has taken the initiative to withdraw, they will not need to find reasons to terminate the cooperative relationship in the future.
Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang made a token attempt to persuade them to stay, but seeing how determined Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting were, they eventually agreed.
After all, the two families have always had a relatively good relationship. Apart from business matters, they are also close in private.
With the Liu family no longer a constraint, the factory began to focus on producing its own designs after the last batch of goods was delivered.
The research and development, filming, customer service, and after-sales teams were all reorganized according to Xu Xiu's requirements.
Another reason Xu Xiu didn't go to Tsinghua or Peking University was so that he could have time to help his parents take care of the factory during his university years.
His goal in life was very clear: to help his parents, win over the simpleton, and then grow old together with his best friend.
Liu Qianxue recently saw the phrase "Ruo Xiu Fan Meng" frequently online. Curious, she searched for it and discovered that the scene in the pictures and videos was Xu Xiu's house.
Then I started looking through the posts on one of the platforms and found Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan. Could the one who didn't show up be Xiao Ruoyan?
Just as she was feeling upset, Tang Xiaoshuang walked in and told her that Uncle Xu and his family had withdrawn from their supplier list.
Seeing the popularity of Ruoxiu's dream online and combining it with what her mother had said, Liu Qianxue finally understood that Xu Xiu had started his own business.
Xu Xiu hasn't contacted me since the end of the college entrance exam, not even on WeChat.
He didn't invite me to his startup, and he made Xiao Ruoyan a model but didn't even show her face. Is she too ugly to appear on camera?
Would I be even more popular if it were me?
They've been busy with factory matters lately, and Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting haven't yet taken Xu Xiu back to their hometown to share the good news with their elders about him passing the imperial examination with top honors.
At the end of August, the family planned to go back to their hometown in Shixian County and take their son, who had won the top scholar title, back to show the neighbors.
Wealth can be kept hidden, but the fact that a top scholar has emerged should be celebrated in a grand manner back in our hometown.
Xu Xiu's parents were planning to return to their hometown, and he thought he would take Xiao Ruoyan with him on the way, and also check on his grandfather's condition.
Although I was hit on the head by my grandfather in my past life, I don't think it matters now. After all, my grandfather loves Xiao Ruoyan so much.
She was overjoyed after telling Xiao Ruoyan, and her brows finally relaxed a bit these past few days.
The closer it got to the start of the school year, the sadder Xiao Ruoyan felt.
