Chapter 334: How many rational people are there?
The next day, Xu Qingming arrived just after breakfast. Wen Wan handed him the agreement they had written, and they flipped through it again. The agreement, written after much deliberation, was quite detailed. While it clearly stated the partnership and that the supply would only be to one company, it didn't specify the expiration date, so terminating the partnership now shouldn't be a problem.
Another point is that Xu Qingming had registered the Aichang trademark at that time, but people nowadays are not aware of this. Of course, he was just being prepared at the time, because Wen Wan obviously wanted to go for a high-end route, and in order to prevent it from being imitated as much as possible, he made this extra trip. Now it seems that it is indeed beneficial.
Wenwan's clothes have always been a best-seller in department stores. However, due to her limited time and hunger marketing, she only sells a limited number of each style each season. The department stores see the profit and want to make more money, so they turn around and process the clothes again.
The clothes produced do not have to be exactly the same as Wen Wan's clothes, as long as the colors and general styles are the same. The price can be lowered and they will still sell well.
Wen Wan knew about this matter, but she had not intervened because she had no intention of tying herself to the department store forever. She always left a way out so that they could meet again in the future. She thought: if everything went well today, she would just ignore it. If they didn't agree, she would have to talk it over.
It's not that she is mean-spirited, she just considers things comprehensively and always prepares for the worst before doing anything.
She has already thought of several ways to deal with the situation if the other party does not agree to terminate the contract.
As it turned out, everything went incredibly smoothly after they got there. The other party politely welcomed them in and politely sent them out. All the considerations they had made before were completely useless.
It is completely impossible to say that she did not benefit from Lao Wen and the Xu family.
Not just anyone can get in touch with the department store. She was able to cooperate with them because she found someone through connections, and the other party knew who she was. The same was true for the termination of the contract.
At any time, businessmen always put profits first, and personal connections are very important.
After receiving the final payment for the goods and finalizing the deal, he took Zhou Mingli's car directly back to the compound.
The car stopped outside the Wen family yard.
Wen Shihua was not at home. Dandan and several children from next door were running around on the street, holding a new toy, an iron ring, in their hands.
The car stopped at the door. Wen Wan had just gotten out of the car when the little guy slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of him. The iron ring rolled over, left the handle, shook, and fell to the ground.
"Mom! Aunt!" It was only a day later, so Wen Wan and Lu Chun'e were still being affectionate.
Xu Qingming reached out and picked him up: "Little boy, why didn't you call me?"
Dandan held the handle of the iron ring tightly and called him uncle with a smile.
Then he stared at Li Laiyu who was standing beside him and called out "Auntie!"
Li Laiyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stretched out his hand: "Let me hug you!"
Xu Qingming said, "He's quite heavy." He then offered the child to him. He felt that what he was saying was nonsense. The egg wasn't light, but Li Laiyu was different from his sister Wen Wan. How could a lesbian who could knock over a grown man with a single kick care about such a small weight?
Wen Wan invited them into the yard. Zhou Mingli looked at the time on his watch and said, "I won't go in. I'm going home." After that, he looked at Lu Chun'e expectantly: "Come with me? I'll go back to get some things, and then go to school. You haven't even been to our school yet!" School is about to start, and then they can't meet whenever they want. Even if there are no classes, they may not have time. No one knows when the mission will be carried out.
The fact that he had been idle for such a long time was purely out of consideration. His leader knew that he was pursuing a partner and asked him to solve his personal problems as soon as possible.
His free time was filled by other comrades.
Therefore, he wished to be with Lu Chun'e every minute and every second.
Lu Chun'e nodded, turned around and said to Wen Wan, "Then I'll go with him to take a look, and I'll go back to Tonghua Lane directly in the evening." She knew that Wen Wan was going to Uncle Xu's house for dinner today, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go with her.
Wenwan didn't force it.
He watched them get into the car and drive away, then invited Li Laiyu and Xu Qingming into the yard.
"Let's go in and have some tea while I pack some clothes for Dandan."
As she spoke, she entered the house, poured tea for a few people, and asked Wen Wan in a low voice: "Do you want to eat here this afternoon?"
Wen Wan said, "No, I have to go to Professor Xu's place today. Tell my dad that I've taken Dandan away and will return him in two days."
Then she asked Xu Qingming, "We're back at the compound now, why don't you go see grandma? I'll find out later and I'll nag you again."
"I won't go today. I went there as soon as I got back and got scolded. It's such a nice day today, I don't want to be scolded again." No matter how good his temper is, he is still a normal person. He has no masochistic tendencies and doesn't want to be nagged all the time.
I don’t know how the old lady knew that he had a girl he liked, and also knew that he couldn’t pursue her. She kept talking about it, and every word was heart-wrenching.
He looked at Wen Wan, but didn't ask.
He said that after visiting Wen Wan, he would no longer worry about it. He invited Li Laiyu to drink some hot tea, then went into the house to talk to Dandan, packed some clothes, said goodbye to his aunt, and left with the child.
Xu Qingming was not serious at all. He carried Dandan on his shoulders and walked around in circles. Then he let him ride on his neck, laughing and joking all the way.
Li Laiyu glanced at him and felt that he was really different from the men she had met before. He was so different that people always ignored his true age.
For example, now, he doesn't look like a man of twenty-six or twenty-seven. He is only a few years older than Dandan. His usual steadiness is not visible at all in him.
He put the man down only after they left the compound, and Dandan was still not satisfied.
Wen Wan and Li Lai Yu pulled his little hands and headed towards the platform not far away.
Xu Qingming followed behind with his hands in his pockets, like a bodyguard.
After getting in the car, Xu Qingming took Dandan back and held him in his arms as they sat in the row behind Wen Wan and the others, while Wen Wan and Li Laiyu sat in the front.
Wen Wan asked Li Laiyu: "Laiyu, do you get carsick? If so, let's switch seats. You can sit by the window."
Li Laiyu shook his head: "I don't get carsick, no need to change."
After sitting down, Wen Wan whispered to Li Laiyu about Xu Guoliang and his wife: "My third uncle is the funniest man, my third aunt is a gentle person, and my seventh brother's good temper is the combination of the couple. He is the only child of the two of them, and they don't take care of him much. Besides work, he just runs around and plays. They say that you have to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles in your lifetime. You have to visit all the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland that you can. My seventh brother was left in the compound with my grandparents since he was a child. My third uncle taught him less than my eldest uncle. Now the two of them don't get along at all like father and son, but more like brothers."
"Lai Yu, you'll know when you go there. They are really easy to get along with."
Li Lai Yu bent his fingers and said nothing.
Wen Wan continued, "Did you like visiting people at home before?"
Li Laiyu finally answered her, "Never. Our family background is not good, and no one wants to associate with us."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry!"
Li Laiyu smiled indifferently: "Don't apologize to me, this is all in the past. Isn't this no longer a big deal these days? If class background were still a concern, I wouldn't have come to the capital to attend university."
This is not a good topic, and Wen Wan doesn't want to bring it up again.
He then asked her, "Didn't you say you wanted to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to look for suitable silk? When are you going?"
Li Lai Yu said, "Let's take classes for a while after school starts." If possible, she would like to go now, but school is about to start. Although she doesn't like the professional knowledge she has learned, she still has to work hard to graduate.
She didn't want to be the first student admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology who couldn't graduate.
"To be honest, I also want to go out for a walk." But she didn't have the courage of Li Lai Yu. It was really amazing for a girl to just go out as she said.
"It just so happens that my third aunt lives there. You can go over and chat with her. I thought you might have something in common!"
This was a direct statement made to Li Laiyu, asking her to go to Xu Qingming's house together.
Li Lai Yu did not respond. She didn't know whether Wen Wan knew what Xu Qingming was thinking.
But she already knew it. After knowing it, she had clearly refused. So going to someone else's house for dinner now felt a little inappropriate.
"Wanwan, I'm a little uncomfortable today, so I won't go. We can talk about it later if there's a chance."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and the situation was not too awkward: "Okay, if it's not convenient, then I won't go. Let's make an appointment again when it's convenient for you."
Li Laiyu nodded.
Xu Qingming was sitting behind them and heard everything they said clearly, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Li Lai Yu got off the car early near Tonghua Lane and waved from the window.
Knowing that she was waving at Wen Wan, Xu Qingming still responded.
Wen Wan and I didn't get off the car until we reached the gate of Hua University.
After getting off the car, Wen Wan slowed down and called out to Xu Qingming, "Seventh Brother, if it doesn't work, just give up!"
"When it comes to relationships, it all comes down to mutual affection. One-sided love can be tiring, and it's not just you who's tired, it's also burdensome for her."
Xu Qingming walked out with Dandan in his arms for a long distance before he spoke again: "If you can just let it go, then what's the point of saying love?"
"Although you are classmates with her and are very close, you don't know her."
She was a mysterious girl. Once you noticed her, you couldn't take your eyes off her.
"I met her when I ran into you on the street, but what caught my attention was when I was on my way to Cen'an City."
"I don't believe we weren't destined to meet. We weren't familiar with each other, and we had never dated, yet we ended up on the same train and in the same carriage."
"When we arrived at the station, it was extremely chaotic. Many people rushed up to grab things, some even snatched children. There was a human trafficker who had fled from the capital and was hiding on the bus. It was so chaotic that I could hardly handle it alone. She was a little girl, so of course she was a target. I was about to grab her, but she was even more formidable than me. With two quick kicks, she knocked the man to the ground."
"I've never seen such a fierce girl before. Yet, she looks so weak and pitiful when she was held hostage."
At that time, he recognized that it was Wen Wan's classmate, and then he was just curious, curious about how such a weak girl could have such amazing skills.
But as time went on, one chance encounter after another led to another plunge into it.
"Wanwan, you don't understand that feeling. Although you are married to Lu Dongping, he was the one who liked you first from the beginning. If you like him and he doesn't like you, will you stick with it?"
Wen Wan shook her head decisively: "No, I will never let myself down. Marriage is a lifelong event, and I will never do that."
Xu Qingming sighed: "You are rational, but how many people in this world are as rational as you? I can't do that."
