After Yun Yongcheng took the drawing and looked at it, his expression was similar to Mei Cuiping's when she saw the drawing in the afternoon.
"My daughter, your painting skills have improved, and very quickly."
Yun Yongcheng smiled and freed up one hand, bent his fingers, and gently scratched Yun Mian's small and delicate nose.
"Tell dad what reward you want."
Yun Mian thought for a moment and replied, "Dad, if you really want to give me a reward, can you please promise me one thing?"
Yun Yongcheng: "What's the matter? Tell me first."
Yun Mian: "Dad, can I not go to that painting training class that Aunt Qin mentioned? There are art classes at school, and I can make progress by just learning casually at school. It would be a waste of money to spend money on art training classes."
"You can improve so quickly just by studying casually in school. Wouldn't you be able to improve even faster if you went to a specialized art training class?"
Unexpectedly, her father's ideas were completely different from hers.
Yun Yongcheng reached out and rubbed the soft hair on Yun Mian's forehead, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Aunt Qin suggested sending you to a special art training class for your own good. Besides, your Aunt Qin has probably already informed the friend who runs the art training class. If we don't go, your Aunt Qin will break her promise."
I thought Yunmian didn't want to go to art classes because she wanted to save money for her family.
Yun Yongcheng smiled and continued, "It doesn't cost much to attend art classes. Dad didn't touch a cent of the money you made from selling the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins last time. Dad's braised meat business is doing well now, and he can make money too. You don't have to worry about tuition."
Yunmian: “…”
It seems that she has to attend this art training class.
"Thank you, Dad. You are so kind to me."
"I think dad treats you well, so why do you still look unhappy?"
Yunmian immediately raised her little face and smiled with curved eyebrows.
"Dad, you're mistaken. How can I be unhappy? I really like the art training class you and Aunt Qin found for me."
"As long as you like it."
Yun Yongcheng folded the drawings he had read neatly, then raised an eyebrow and asked Yun Mian, "Why did you draw so many costumes? They are quite nice-looking. I didn't expect that our Mian Mian not only has a talent for designing furniture and puppets, but also for designing clothes. Daddy is really proud to have a daughter like you."
"Dad, I spoke to Brother Chu's third uncle on the phone today."
Yun Mian told Yun Yongcheng about her intention of drawing the clothing designs.
After hearing this, Yun Yongcheng was as shocked as Mei Cuiping was at the time, but he was more interested in Yun Mian's idea.
Mr. Chu Sanye has a very big business. If you can cooperate with Mr. Chu Sanye, you can not only make money, but also learn a lot from him.
"Mianmian, have these drawings been completely completed?"
"Well, I painted all afternoon."
"You kid."
Yun Yongcheng's eyes showed heartache.
"Give these drawings to Dad. Tomorrow morning, Dad and your Uncle Lu Feng will go to deliver the goods and mail them out."
"Thank you, Dad. You are so kind."
Yun Mian clapped her hands excitedly after getting her father's support so easily.
Yun Yongcheng picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"Dad should be the one thanking you. You were so young, and all you thought about all day was how to make money to help Dad. Meeting you at the Sanfu Cement Factory that day and bringing you home was the best decision Dad ever made."
The next day, after Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng delivered the goods, they sent the clothing designs drawn by Yun Mian to Yucheng.
At around 1 p.m., the two went to Huaxiang Commercial City to meet Ou Haiyang to discuss renting a stall.
"Comrades, this is stall number eight in the South District, the one you two are interested in."
Before signing the contract, Ou Haiyang took Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng to the South District for a tour and visited stall No. 8 in the South District.
After visiting the stall in person, Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng were even more satisfied with it.
The stalls next to stall No. 8 either sell vegetables or fruits. Renting a stall here to sell braised meat means there is no pressure from competition from peers.
In addition, the shelves and display cabinets are all ready, and you can start business after cleaning them.
After Ou Haiyang took the two of them to look at booth number eight for a while, he smiled and asked, "After your on-site inspection, are you satisfied with this booth? If so, we can go back to the office to sign the contract."
After Ou Haiyang finished speaking, Yun Yongcheng turned his head and looked at Lu Feng with questioning eyes.
Seeing Lu Feng nod slightly, Yun Yongcheng retracted his gaze and replied to Ou Haiyang: "Very good, we can sign the lease contract now. Manager Ou, please lead the way."
Under Ou Haiyang's leadership, the three quickly returned to Ou Haiyang's office.
It took half an hour from signing the contract to paying the lease.
Half an hour later, Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng left Huaxiang Commercial City.
On the way back to Huangshi Town, Yun Yongcheng said to Lu Feng, "Brother Lu Feng, this stall has been rented. We have to open it as soon as possible, otherwise we will lose money every day."
"Um."
After getting Lu Feng's approval, Yun Yongcheng continued, "As for the shopping guide, I think Sister Yaqing is a good candidate."
Lu Feng: "Isn't Xu Yaqing the women's director of Xiushui Village? Can she spare some time to come to Huaxiang Commercial City to help us sell goods?"
"Generally, all matters, big or small, in Xiushui Village are handled by Secretary Yun and the village head. As the women's director, Sister Yaqing helps people resolve family conflicts and regulate neighborhood relations. If there are no quarrels in the village, Sister Yaqing has basically nothing to do."
Lu Feng nodded in approval.
"Director Xu is quite smart and good at speaking. Since she can spare the time, let's hire her. How much salary should I offer her per month, Brother Yongcheng, you should think it through carefully."
Yun Yongcheng thought for a moment and replied, "When I was working at the Sanfu Cement Factory, I earned 30 yuan a month, and occasionally 40 yuan for overtime. If Sister Yaqing agrees to sell goods for us, considering that she has to take the bus back to Huangshi Town every day after get off work, I will pay her 40 yuan a month, and overtime pay will be included for working on holidays. Brother Lu Feng, what do you think?"
"That's quite reasonable. I'll do as you say."
"Then when I return to the village later, I will go to discuss this matter with Sister Yaqing."
About an hour later, the black Volga car stopped at the entrance of Xiushui Village.
Yun Yongcheng informed Lu Feng, got out of the car and went straight to Wang Yongjin's house.
"Yongcheng, are you looking for your brother Yongjin? He went out to fetch water and will be back soon. Come in and sit for a while."
Xu Yaqing was squatting in the shade of the yard washing bedding when she heard footsteps coming into the yard. She looked up and saw Yun Yongcheng standing at the door of her yard.
