Chapter 383 Traffic Accident
It was really hard to find a place. Lu Donglin would ride his bike around when he had nothing to do, and Wen Wan also helped him to ask around. Until the batch of goods from Yangcheng arrived, Lu Donglin was busy arranging the accounts of the goods on both sides, but there was still no progress on this matter.
He looked at quite a few places, and all those with vacant houses were willing to rent them out and collect some rent, but after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that none of them were suitable.
After searching for half a month, I finally found a place.
But this place is really remote, quite far from the city, and it takes half an hour to ride a bike out of the city.
But compared with what he had seen before, he really felt that this place was the most suitable.
After finding out the details from others, he rode his bike to the compound to discuss the matter with Wen Wan.
"I looked at many places, but after comparing them, I think the one outside the city is more suitable."
"Although it's a bit out of the way, we're running a clothing workshop, not a store, so it doesn't have to be in the city center. As long as the place is spacious enough, transportation is convenient, and the price is right, it's fine. That place is not in the city, but it's not far away. I can ride my bike out of the city for half an hour. There is a highway, and from the highway, there is a wide yellow mud road. It takes only a few minutes to get there. It's on the main road."
Wen Wan nodded without interrupting him, and motioned for him to continue.
"I think it's good, but I can't just think it's good. Sister-in-law, you have to find time to go with me to take a look. The place is a little out of the way, but it doesn't have much of an impact. The place is big enough. Of course, I think the best thing is that the place is for sale. If we buy it, there will be a lot of potential for future use."
"After all, if I buy it, it's my place. I can do whatever I want with it." He also wanted to find a place in the city, but it was really not easy. Not only was it hard to find a place that big, but even if there was one, the price was outrageous. The rent alone was outrageous. If the owner got upset and refused to rent it out, that would be disastrous.
Just like the store over at Huada, business has been booming these past two years, and the landlord is incredibly jealous. If his sister-in-law hadn't been so careful and decisive when renting the place, signing a formal contract and renting it for several years, who knows what kind of trouble would have arisen! Either the rent would have been raised, or the house would have been taken back.
They have made some money in the past two years, but the speed at which they earn money is far slower than the speed at which they spend it.
He and his brother had previously budgeted for opening a workshop. The space, machinery, labor, and various paperwork would cost a fortune. But even if it meant spending money, they had to do it. The bold will die of overeating, while the timid will starve. Without investment, how could there be any return?
As for risks, there are definitely some. There is no such thing as a zero-risk business in the world.
All he can do is maximize benefits, save costs as much as possible while achieving his goals, and consider multiple aspects.
Lu Donglin's eyes were shining as he spoke. He looked at Wen Wan eagerly, his eyes full of hope, hoping that she would agree to go over and take a look and buy that place.
Although he and his brother were in the clothing business, he knew that his sister-in-law would have the final say. Lu Dongping had also told him before he left that he must consult with Wen Wan if he found a suitable place.
Wen Wan nodded: "Then please help me make an appointment with someone and go over to take a look at it this weekend."
Lu Donglin nodded hurriedly: "We have made an appointment, we have made an appointment. I know you don't have time on weekdays, so we agreed to go over on the weekend, Saturday at 2 pm."
Wen Wan agreed and waited for Lu Donglin to leave before she went upstairs to take out all the documents and began to calculate the family's property.
She has made some money in the past two years. Lu Dongping's business is good and he has made a lot of money too.
Except for the working capital, Lu Dongping handed the rest of the money to her.
Their family is still short of a car. Even though she learned to drive and got a driver's license, she still hasn't bought one.
She originally wanted to keep it for when she had more money and discuss with Lu Dongping when to buy the car back.
But now if we want to buy a place to build a workshop, the car issue will have to be postponed indefinitely.
Of course, between buying a car and building a workshop, the latter is definitely much more important.
After Lu Donglin made the deal with Wen Wan, he didn't stay here for long. He played with Dandan for a while and then left.
Just after walking a short distance out of the Wen family's house, a girl wearing a light yellow sweater, leggings and a woolen skirt rushed over on a bicycle.
It looked like he was a novice on the road. He had just learned to pedal a few times and had no control over the direction and didn't know how to avoid the people heading towards him.
Seeing Lu Donglin coming towards him on his bike, he was startled. His hands started shaking, and the handlebars kept turning. He twisted and turned on the road and couldn't stop, shouting: "Hey, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Lu Donglin never thought that there would be someone with such ability who would dare to ride a bike on the road.
He had already moved to the side of the road, even with both feet on the ground, but the girl still bumped into him.
The two bicycles collided with each other. He stood there motionless, as durable as his bicycle, but the other party was not so lucky. The bicycle tilted and both the man and the bicycle fell to the ground.
The wheels of the car turned upside down and spun several times before slowly coming to a stop.
The girl had one leg trapped under the car and the other leg on top, and she couldn't get up for a long time.
Lu Donglin sighed, got off the bike, put it against the tree and went to help her: "Are you okay?"
"Something's wrong. I can't stand up."
Lu Donglin sighed and reached out to pull her up from under the car.
The girl gasped in pain, standing on one leg unnaturally, and the other leg was hanging loose, not daring to touch the ground.
Lu Donglin didn't have time to pay attention to her at the moment, so he started to move the bike as well. This time the collision was quite severe, and the handlebars were twisted. It took him a long time to straighten them.
After he finished, he looked at the person and asked, "Is your home far away? Can you go back by yourself?"
It's true, with this kind of skills, he dares to run around outside and ride so fast. Fortunately it's him. If he encounters an elderly person or a child, something would definitely be wrong.
The girl was really hurt from the fall, tears streaming down her face: "I can't use my foot anymore. My leg hurts too."
Then he looked at Lu Donglin and said, "Could you please take me back? My home is right here, not far away."
"Okay, then you can take my car back? I'll leave your car here and ask your family to pick it up later."
The girl nodded.
Lu Donglin sighed. It was unlucky to go out, so he had to act like a Lei Feng. It really was. Whatever, he encountered it.
"Next time, don't ride alone. Wait until you've mastered the skills. It's so dangerous! If an elderly person or child came the other way, we'd be in trouble today."
The girl didn't argue, but responded with a "hmm" sound, looking listless.
How could she think about the future at this moment? Just thinking about the present made her feel like she had no desire to live.
Her father is a soldier, her mother works in the Ministry of Education, and her brother is also a teacher. Both of them are more powerful than the other when it comes to scolding people.
She learned to drive in secret.
I felt like I had learned enough and was able to ride on my own. I finally argued and agreed to take a ride around the compound, but who knew it would turn out like this.
Just thinking about it made her feel awful. Her legs and feet hurt, and she would be scolded if she got home. Most importantly, she would definitely not be able to touch a bicycle for a long time.
Lu Donglin had no idea what she was thinking. They were strangers, and he was the one who was almost hit by the car. He had already done his best to send her home without holding any grudges.
The girl limped out of the car and waved to him, "Thank you. What's your name? Do you live in this compound too? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Lu Donglin waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. I'll leave first." He refused to answer any of her questions.
After leaving the compound, it was still light outside, so he simply went to the store.
It’s not early anymore, but there are still people looking at clothes in the store.
Lu Donglin parked the car at the door and took a look inside. Huang Qiuju and the new clerk were both busy. When they saw him coming, Huang Qiuju's eyes lit up and she called out to him.
Lu Donglin's eyes scanned the store like a motor: "I'll take a look myself, you go ahead and do your thing."
Huang Qiuju responded, and put her utmost energy into dealing with the customer. She eloquently matched the customer with a whole outfit from head to toe, and then politely escorted the customer out of the store.
Lu Donglin looked around and found that there was nothing wrong with the clothes hanging in the store, and the hygiene was as clean as ever. Then he sat behind the counter and looked through the account book.
Huang Qiuju went over and lay outside the counter, looking at him: "How come you have time to come here today?"
Lu Donglin said, "I had something to do at my sister-in-law's place, and then I came to visit the store."
"How's business these past two days?"
Huang Qiuju stood up straight: "It's okay! With the new goods on the market, business will definitely be good for a while. Plus, the weather is getting warmer now, so it's much better than before." Although this is a new store and the flow of people is not as good as that of Huada, her sales here will not be much worse.
She will use practical actions to prove to Lu Donglin that she is no worse than Sun Xiaoxue, and as for Chen Dongshuang, she is even less comparable to her.
Lu Donglin didn't even raise his head, he was looking at the accounts seriously, he took out the notebook he carried with him and copied the general ledger again, he would do it again when he had time.
Huang Qiuju wanted to talk to him again, but seeing that he was busy, she felt embarrassed to disturb him, so she could only stand by and watch him.
When Lu Donglin finished his work and looked up, she was still standing there. He happened to meet her eyes and frowned: "Not busy?"
Huang Qiuju's face flushed slightly: "Not busy, just got off work a while ago, no one is here now."
Lu Donglin looked at his watch and said, "Clean up early now that no one's around. Organize the stock. What's due should be shipped. Make a note of anything missing and let me know later. Clothes that are out of season and out of stock should be disposed of in advance and billed separately."
Huang Qiuju responded, and Lu Donglin stood up and put everything he needed to take into his pockets. "I'll be over first. I've been very busy these past two days. You need to take care of the store and be more careful with the accounts and money."
Huang Qiuju responded, "I know. How can you not trust me when I do things?"
Of course Lu Donglin knew that Huang Qiuju was very dedicated to her work and could be considered reliable, but he still had to remind her of the necessary things.
After saying that, he pushed the bike, took a step with his long legs, stepped on the pedals, and the wheels slid a long distance away.
Huang Qiuju stood at the door and kept looking at his back. She looked away until he disappeared and reached out to smooth her newly permed hair.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but she wouldn't give up.
Lu Donglin is a rare talent in terms of appearance, ability and age. If she meets a man like him, she will definitely grab him.
