Jiang Yue searched the department store for a long time but couldn't find Lu Jingnian again.
As Jiang Yue emerged from the department store, she frowned. Could it be that she hadn't slept all night and was in poor spirits, causing her to misread the scene?
But that figure and that man's profile really looked exactly like Lu Jingnian.
Unable to find anyone, Jiang Yue didn't linger. Carrying the things she had just bought from the department store, she took a bus to the compound.
Today, only Auntie and Grandma Jiang were at home. When Jiang Yue entered, Grandma Jiang was tending to her flowers and plants on the second-floor terrace, while Auntie had gone out to buy groceries.
Jiang Yue glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. Yao Hua should be awake by now. Afraid that Yao Hua would be worried if she woke up and couldn't find her, Jiang Yue first called the military reception office and asked them to tell Political Commissar Yu that she had gone home and that Yao Hua shouldn't worry, as she would be back in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue was thinking of calling Shen Huaiyuan again to ask about the motorcycle when Shen Huaiyuan arrived before she could even dial the number.
"Uncle."
Upon seeing Shen Huaiyuan, Jiang Yue seemed to see a pile of money walking towards her. Her eyes shone so brightly that Shen Huaiyuan felt a shiver run through his heart for no apparent reason, and his foot, which had just stepped inside, instantly retreated.
Jiang Yue ran over and pulled him inside. "Uncle, we're really on the same wavelength! I was just about to call you, and here you are!"
Why are you calling me?
Shen Huaiyuan looked at her warily. He felt that Jiang Yue's mental state was somewhat abnormal today. "You want money from me?"
Jiang Yue used to frequently ask Shen Huaiyuan for money. Every time Jiang Yue asked for money, she would act like this. Shen Huaiyuan doted on her, and he would give her money whenever she asked.
"No, it's not that. Can't I call you because I miss you?"
Jiang Yue rubbed her eyes, feigning sadness, but even with all her might, she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
Shen Huaiyuan watched her exaggerated acting, his lips twitched, tossed the bag in his hand to her, and turned to lean lazily against the sofa. "Your motorcycle has been sold. Since it was almost brand new, the price was decent, only 10% less than the original price."
Jiang Yue bought the motorcycle for 4,600 yuan. After deducting 10%, it cost 4,140 yuan, which was 30% more than Jiang Yue had expected. Jiang Yue was very happy.
Sure enough, only making money can make her happy.
With the money from selling the motorcycle and the money from selling clothes today, she had 4,600 yuan in hand, which should be enough if she only needed to buy fabric.
However, the money would definitely not be enough to purchase duck down and find factories to manufacture it.
Jiang Yue put down her bag and looked at Shen Huaiyuan with a fawning expression.
When she was thinking about making down jackets, the first thing that came to her mind was to collaborate with Shen Huaiyuan.
"Uncle, I have a business idea that can make you money. Would you like to do it?"
Looking at her calculating and ingratiating expression, Shen Huaiyuan raised his handsome eyebrows and asked with feigned interest, "What kind of business? Tell me about it."
Shen Huaiyuan heard from Shen Min that Jiang Yue and Yao Hua had recently started selling clothes, and that they were doing quite well. However, since it was just a small business between two girls, Shen Huaiyuan didn't take it to heart.
"It's like this, Uncle. I'm planning to make a batch of down jackets for winter, but I only have enough money to buy the fabric right now..."
Jiang Yue shared her thoughts with Shen Huaiyuan, and also explained the advantages of down jackets. "Uncle, most of the clothes sold on the market now are cotton-padded coats. Cotton-padded coats are very thick and heavy, and they don't look good either."
While better quality cotton-padded coats are filled with silk floss, making them much lighter, they still look bulky, aren't windproof, and aren't very warm. Down jackets, however, are different. They're filled with duck down, making them not only lightweight and stylish, but most importantly, they're windproof and warmer than cotton-padded coats.
"down jacket?"
Shen Huaiyuan looked at Jiang Yue in surprise, "You mean those down jackets that are popular abroad now?"
Jiang Yue nodded, "Yes, that kind."
I know that down jackets, called "bread jackets," are now available in S City, but they are filled with too much duck down, making them very bulky and prone to feather leakage.
I can improve this situation. I guarantee that the down jackets I make will be far better than those currently popular overseas.
Jiang Yue spoke with great confidence, and she had the right to be confident.
Because she understands the entire process of making down jackets.
When Jiang Yue talked about her work, she became very confident, almost radiating light, which almost dazzled Shen Huaiyuan, who was sitting next to her and had seen a lot.
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, Shen Huaiyuan looked at her and pondered for a long time before saying, "Yueyue, what you said just now was very good, but doing business is not child's play."
I can't believe you can actually make that kind of down jacket just because you've told me all this.
If down jackets really do become as Jiang Yue described, he will definitely invest and be the first to try it.
“I know, Uncle, you don’t need to worry about that. I’m thinking of going to S City in the next couple of days. I heard that there are advanced textile machines imported from abroad in S City. The biggest problem when making down jackets is that the down filling will escape, so the fabric is very important.”
I want to go and choose a suitable fabric. Once I've chosen it, I'll make a down jacket for my uncle first. If he's satisfied, then we can discuss further collaborations, okay?
When it comes to doing business, you can't just make empty promises; the most important thing is to have real strength.
"good."
Shen Huaiyuan readily agreed, "If you can really make the kind of down jacket you described, your uncle will use all his assets to cooperate with you."
Jiang Yue wanted to hear Shen Huaiyuan say, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, so you can't regret it later, little uncle."
After discussing the down jacket with Shen Huaiyuan, Jiang Yue went upstairs to find Grandma Jiang.
...
This is the family housing area.
Political Commissar Yu received a call from the reception office. He was just about to go to lunch when he heard that Jiang Yue had returned to the compound and Yao Hua didn't know yet. He quickly went to the family compound first. Before leaving, he asked Jiang Zheng to get food for him and Yao Hua from the canteen and deliver it to him later.
Jiang Zheng: "..."
Ignoring Jiang Zheng's resentful gaze, Political Commissar Yu grabbed his coat and ran off.
Back at the family compound, Political Commissar Yu had just reached the entrance of the building downstairs when he saw Yao Hua running out of the building in a panic.
Political Commissar Yu quickly went over and stopped Yao Hua.
"Yao Hua".
Upon seeing Political Commissar Yu, Yao Hua, who had been completely disoriented, suddenly seemed to have found her pillar of support. Grabbing his hand anxiously, she said, "Political Commissar Yu, Yueyue is missing..."
"Don't worry," Political Commissar Yu quickly reassured her. "Jiang Yue went back to the compound. She just called the gatehouse. She's fine, so you don't need to worry."
When Yao Hua heard that Jiang Yue was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she was about to run out again, "Why did Yueyue come back to the compound?"
No, I have to go find her.
She can't let Yueyue go out alone now; what if something happens to Yueyue?
