Chapter 78 No, this can’t be true
Jiang Lili began to reflect on herself. She hadn't always been like this. For the first sixteen years of her life, she had believed herself to be quite happy, and everyone around her was kind to her. It wasn't until Ji Mingyue's appearance that her illusions were shattered. She began to become wary of everyone around her. Now it seemed she had gone too far.
Cheng Yuntian on the other end of the phone continued: "But Manager Zhang is a smart man, he should know what to do."
"Indeed, as long as it's not too outrageous, we shouldn't bother with him. By the way, how many orders did they place for hand-torn books this time?" She was more concerned about this than the licensing fees paid.
"Ten thousand copies. I've calculated that even if Manager Zhang wants to get the goods from Quan City, with the transportation cost, it will still be higher than our price. Even if he wants to, other people in the department store won't allow it. You know, there are people eyeing his position all the time." This is one of the reasons why Cheng Yuntian dared to break up with him.
"That's true. The transportation from Quanshi to Jincheng increases the cost. Also, Jincheng still accepts Tongqu players. If we rashly change the brand, others may not buy it. So the department store should not change its mind easily." Jiang Lili also nodded. Now the advantage is in their hands.
"Now that Manager Zhang has agreed, everyone is happy. I have to accompany my father to the new factory these days and will probably be back next week. The factory will have to trouble Sister Jiang in the next few days." This was the main purpose of Cheng Yuntian's call.
"Okay, I'll tell her. The factory has been busy producing hand-torn books recently, so there shouldn't be any problems. By the way, Sister Cheng, has the designer invited back to the second factory started designing new products?" Jiang Lili began to inquire. She couldn't just catch her alone and take advantage of her.
"She gave me a new design two days ago. How should I put it? It's not novel enough. There are many alternatives on the market now, and I'm hesitating whether to produce it." Cheng Yuntian's tone was conflicted.
"If there's a market, we can produce." Jiang Lili doesn't think it's necessary to pursue novelty. After all, there are different audiences.
"There's no rush about this. Let's talk about it when I come back. The sales of hand-torn books and teethers are pretty good right now." Cheng Yuntian couldn't make up her mind for a moment. She planned to take advantage of the next few days to go to the surrounding areas of Jincheng. Maybe she would have the answer then.
"Okay." Jiang Lili nodded. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly hung up the phone.
"Is it done?" Jiang Yulan asked casually.
"Yes, Manager Zhang is willing to pay the licensing fee. This time, we win." Such things will happen again in the future, but it is also a great thing that they can win at this time.
Jiang Lili conveyed Cheng Yuntian's words to her, and Jiang Yulan nodded: "Fortunately, everyone is busy producing hand-torn books during this period, so I don't think there will be any trouble." The wages of workers in the factory are linked to output. Now is the time to make money, and I think no one will waste time at this time.
"I hope the hand-torn books can also have good sales." Jiang Lili was worrying about the next toy. Where should she start this time? She didn't know what Cheng Yuntian thought about the talking doll he mentioned last time.
"Based on the current order volume, it is better than teething gum. It depends on the subsequent replenishment. As for Quan City, Manager Zhang just saw the sample today. It shouldn't be that fast, right?" At the end, Jiang Yulan couldn't help but frown.
"I shouldn't. This time he is willing to pay the licensing fee, so he will probably be more open and aboveboard. I'll quietly call He Jian and ask him then." Jiang Lili felt that Manager Zhang wouldn't act so quickly.
"That's right. Then you should eat quickly. You have to go to school later. If Ji Mingyue comes to see you again, don't pay any attention to her." Jiang Yulan reminded.
"I understand." Jiang Lili nodded. Of course, she would ignore Ji Mingyue. She wanted to fulfill her filial duty for Ji Yushu and Ye Qiuju, so she didn't want to drag her along.

"Dad, isn't this all because of my third uncle? Why do I have to take care of her?" Ji Mingyue really didn't want to go to the hospital to take care of Chen Guilan.
"How can your third uncle, a grown man, serve your grandma? Besides, if this matter is really investigated, can you and your daughter escape?" Ji Yushu sneered. Don't think he doesn't know how Song Zhenzhen came to the city.
"Mingyue, your father is right. I'll have to bear with you for a while." Afraid that Ji Mingyue would continue to say shocking things, Ye Qiuju tried to persuade her. She secretly dialed the phone number that Song Zhenzhen left for her last time yesterday, but the call didn't go through. She suspected that Song Zhenzhen deliberately gave her a wrong number so that she couldn't contact her. In other words, now they can only wait for Song Zhenzhen to contact them actively, as no one on their side can contact her.
"Why should I go alone? What about Ji Lanlan and Jiang Lili? Why don't they have to go?" Ji Mingyue looked at the two of them coldly. Why should she bear their responsibilities?
"They don't live in the Ji family now, so you are the only one who can do this. If you get this done, I will take you with me next time I go to Guangdong to purchase goods." Seeing that intimidation was useless, Ji Yushu began to bribe.
Going to Guangzhou? In the golden 1990s, Ji Mingyue's heart suddenly moved. She tilted her head to look at the two people over there, making sure they didn't notice her momentary strangeness, then she spoke rather reservedly: "Dad, are you really going to take me to Guangzhou?"
"You'll be nineteen soon, and it's time to take you to see the world." Ji Yushu nodded, indicating that he did not lie to her.
"Alright then, Dad, don't forget what you said." Ji Mingyue glanced at the strategy value above his head after she finished speaking. Sure enough, it didn't move at all. If she had agreed when he asked just now, the strategy value above his head would probably have changed. Anyway, she now understood that the so-called strategy value was actually earned by her self-sacrifice, so why should she sacrifice herself to meet their demands? Sure enough, by changing the method, although the strategy value didn't move at all, she could get other things from them.
"Of course. Okay, you should go to school quickly. After the evening self-study, you can go directly to the hospital." Ji Yushu thought about it and made a decision quickly.
"Okay." Ji Mingyue nodded obediently and lowered her eyes, but she cursed the two of them in her heart. Forget it, she had no money now, so she would endure it a little longer. What if Ji Yushu really became the richest man? She had been keeping a low profile for so long, it would be a pity to give up like this.
When Ji Mingyue arrived at school, she almost reached the classroom as the bell rang. She walked to her seat with her head down and started to pick up the exercise book that she had not finished during the day.
The evening self-study session was very boring. Ji Mingyue felt a little annoyed when she thought that she would have to stay by the bedside at night. She looked up at Jiang Lili in front of her, then quickly lowered her head. Forget it, she would wait until Chen Guilan was discharged from the hospital first.
Chen Guilan's condition wasn't serious because she was rushed to the hospital in time, but she still couldn't move half of her body. Ji Yumo was really scared this time. He sat beside the bed and whispered, "Mom, I know I was wrong. Please get better soon!"
Chen Guilan's eyes moved away from him. This time she was really heartbroken, but she was still worried about Ji Wenwu at home. She pointed in the direction of the iron factory with her movable hand. Ji Yumo quickly understood what she meant and comforted her, "Don't worry about Wenwu. I will go back to take care of her when Mingyue arrives." Only then did Chen Guilan put down her hand.
Ji Mingyue came to hand over his shift to Ji Yumo. He hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help asking, "Mingyue, do you know where your aunt is now?"
"I don't know." Ji Mingyue shook her head, then looked up at him. How could this man have no sense at all? He had no money and no job now. Why did he think that if he found Song Zhenzhen, she would be willing to continue to be with him? It was really stupid. However, this also indirectly showed how high Song Zhenzhen's level was. She thought, if only Ye Qiuju could be half as good as her. Next time she saw Song Zhenzhen, maybe she could ask her to teach her a few tricks?
"Okay, I got it." Ji Yumo left the ward somewhat disappointed. On the way back to the iron factory, he couldn't help thinking that maybe he should really give up. When he got home and saw the messy room, he suddenly felt that his mother's previous proposal was quite good. If he remarried Yao Yan, his life would return to normal. As for Song Zhenzhen, he would just treat it as a dream.
In Yuncheng Hospital, Lin Wenkang looked at the ward on the third floor when he passed by the inpatient department. He knew Chen Guilan's identity, and perhaps they needed to add fuel to the fire in order to make Jiang Yulan accept him.
Lin Wenkang had learned almost everything about the Ji family's current situation. Now, the entire family depended on Ji Yushu to run the stall alone. Although things were relatively peaceful now, what if he discovered that the mother and daughter he had abandoned had become even better people? Would he regret his decision?
Lin Wenkang felt that he knew Jiang Yulan quite well. What she hated most was being deceived. He thought it would be impossible for her to forgive Ji Yushu in this life. He lowered his eyes and quickly came up with a new idea.
Ji Yushu's business at the stall has been bad recently. He heard someone mention that the former Toy Factory No. 2 had better traffic, so he was hesitating whether to go there and try. The next day, there were still few people asking about the things in front of him, so he simply rolled up the tarpaulin on the ground and planned to try his luck at the former Toy Factory No. 2.
There was a bus stop near the Second Factory, and it always had a good flow of people. Ji Yushu's first day setting up his stall had already set a recent record, and he was somewhat pleased with his quick decision. On the second day, he discovered that Jiang Yulan was working at the new toy factory. He was a little surprised. Had the cotton mill laid her off? It seemed that Jiang Jianyi, the former factory director, was losing face, and for a moment, he was filled with gloating.
However, Ji Yushu soon stopped laughing because he heard others mention Jiang Yulan, calling her Manager Jiang, and saying that she owned 10% of the shares of the toy factory. Ji Yushu really couldn't sit still anymore. No, this must not be true!
