He Na couldn't borrow any money and cried in frustration.
After hearing that she had borrowed money everywhere, Li Jinfeng scolded her, especially for borrowing money from He Ling and He Shan.
"Are you stupid? You want to steal business from people at the night market, and they'll even lend you money! Use your pig brain to think this through!"
He Na thought her mother's words were too harsh, and she retorted defiantly, "If you're willing to give me money, I won't need to borrow it!"
"With your attitude, you should give up and go back to work!" After saying that, Li Jinfeng took out her phone and called He Ma, implying that her child was being irresponsible and wanted to go back to the cake shop.
"I'm not going to work at a cake shop!"
He Ma, who was on the other end of the phone, also heard her voice and was overjoyed.
Aunt He said with a smile, "If Nana doesn't want to, that's fine. I've already hired someone, and she's been working for three days already."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinfeng gave an awkward smile and ultimately said nothing more.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jinfeng snapped at her, "You didn't want to do a good job, now look what's happened! Go find a job yourself!"
He Na didn't say anything. She had made up her mind. If her mother and brother wouldn't give her money to start a business, she wouldn't go to work either!
...
Two days later, He Na's stall was not secured, but a new cake stall suddenly appeared in the night market, selling cakes at the original He Xing's stall.
He Xing no longer has a stall here.
The space is small, just a small grill cart and a table.
But once they put up the billboards, they actually looked pretty convincing.
The cakes they sell are exactly the same as He Ling's, and the prices are the same too.
When He Na found out, she was even more anxious than He Ling.
There are two cake stalls in the night market. Even if I take over another stall, business won't be good.
He Na was extremely annoyed.
"Lingzi, why don't you seem worried at all?" He Na asked He Ling.
"I'm anxious, but what's the use of being anxious? Besides, I knew from the start that others would follow suit; this isn't a unique business." He Ling sighed as she said this, "Sigh, I'll have to work harder in the future, otherwise all the business will be snatched away by others."
He Na: "If only Linlin wouldn't wholesale to other people."
"How could that be? Would they turn down a business opportunity?" He Ling thought He Na's thought process was a bit strange. "If you were in that situation, would you turn down a business opportunity?"
He Na fell silent.
In the evenings, He Na would occasionally visit that stall, which would close up shop before 10 p.m. because it was completely sold out.
He Na was incredibly envious. She had seen the other person set up a stall before, with a whole cart full of cakes, at least thirteen or fourteen plates.
Once everything was sold out, we made a net profit of over a hundred yuan in one day.
He Na was envious, but that envy quickly turned into resentment.
She complained that her mother and brother didn't listen to her and didn't support her.
She complained that He Wenlin didn't support her either, so what kind of good friend is she?
"If you support me, I'll be the one who sells out today! I'll be the one who makes the money!" He Na shouted excitedly and unwillingly at Li Jinfeng and He Hui.
"Why are you yelling?" Li Jinfeng said angrily. "Other people make money by setting up stalls and selling their goods, but you haven't sold anything either."
He Hui: "Do you think that doing business is just about having a good location? You also need personal ability and good fortune. If you work a regular job and save some money, you'll have the capital to do whatever you want in the future. If you really don't want to work, learn to make rice balls with me. Find a neighborhood, school, or factory and set up your own stall."
"I'm not going!"
He Na felt that she had missed the opportunity to make money because of them. Since no one supported or believed in her, she decided to give up.
This class is lousy, whoever wants it can have it!
...
Actually, He Ling's business wasn't greatly affected that night; she sold out as usual.
But the next day, she reduced the amount a little, ordering four fewer plates.
As a result, when we sold them in the evening, they were sold out before 10 p.m.!
He Ling felt that not reducing production should be fine, but now there are more competitors. She is a cautious person, and she also sells fresh cakes every day, so for the time being, she will reduce production by four trays per day compared to before!
...
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Now, all the shop owners are obsessed with selling these two cakes.
Everyone's business is doing well, but He Ling is the best, consistently making fifteen dishes a day!
Peng Liang's cakes sold the worst, only about three or four trays a day.
He Wenlin also calculated that He Wenlin Food Factory now produces at least 40 trays of these two cake bases a day, and the turnover has never been less than 880!
As if she had discovered a business opportunity, Aunt He went to a printing shop and had them make KT boards to hang on the wall of the convenience store. She also took two boards from the factory every day to sell in the small supermarket. Sure enough, she was able to sell about two boards every day.
There's a sign outside the supermarket advertising birthday cakes. Anyone from the factory or nearby who wants to order a birthday cake can place their order here. Once an order is received, they can call the factory directly and have Yuan Ya make it.
This month, the small supermarket also received ten birthday cakes, all ordered by factory workers.
Seeing their former coworkers, who had moved from a six-story building to own cars, small supermarkets, and factories, and whose businesses were thriving, Mr. and Mrs. He were incredibly envious.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already mid-November.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
Grandma's birthday is coming up soon.
It just so happens that it was a Saturday.
Relatives and friends gathered together again.
"Linlin, you've earned so much money, why don't you buy some gold for your grandma? Look at the old lady, her ears, neck, and hands are all bare," Auntie teased.
"I bought them, I bought them all. Linlin bought them for me a long time ago, but I didn't dare to wear them." Grandma He was afraid that people would misunderstand that her granddaughter was unfilial, so she hurriedly said, "Our Linlin is a filial daughter. She bought gold earrings for me and her mother a long time ago. Jin Hua's mother in the village was robbed when she wore them. Her ears were even torn and bled. I dare not wear them."
“Second Aunt, you can buy Grandma’s neck and ears too. You’re Grandma’s own daughter, it’s only right that you buy it for her, and she’ll definitely be happier,” He Wenlin said. “Did you already buy it today? Let’s take it out and see the colors and styles.”
Auntie's face changed instantly. She felt everyone's eyes were on her. She gave an awkward laugh and said, "I can't afford gold with my current circumstances. I'll just give a small red envelope as a token."
Second Aunt's husband, Wang Qiulin, quickly added, "We'll make it up to Mom when things get better. Mom, the red envelope is small, please don't mind. I wish you good health and that you live to be 120."
The others quickly pulled out their red envelopes and showered them with compliments.
