The matching beds have also been made. This batch all have upholstered headboards, and the mattresses are also made by the factory itself—Simmons mattresses.
First, take photos of these, then wait for the next batch of sofas to come out, and take more photos. Then print them all out together. A sample booklet will be made before the store opens. Whether it's retail or wholesale, using a sample booklet is much more convenient.
After finishing all that, Hua Kai called Li Jing aside and asked her how she had been these past few days and whether she had decided where to start.
Li Jing hesitated.
Hua Kai said to her, "Just say what you're thinking. Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Li Jing took a deep breath: "Huakai, I want to sell sofas, whether it's promoting them in furniture malls or in stores. I don't really like working in a factory doing technical work. I've seen those things, and I can do them, but I don't think they're what I truly like."
Hua Kai laughed after hearing this: "Okay, I was just afraid you didn't have any ideas. It's best if you do, but sales is very hard work and there's a lot of pressure. If you don't sell as well as others, don't cry."
Li Jing looked at Hua Kai with some apology: "Hua Kai, you said before that you'd let me work at this factory so I could help you manage it in the future, but I..."
Hua Kai patted her arm and said, "Don't think like that. I also need my own people in sales, so you are important no matter where you are. Besides, I run a proper factory, so I don't have that kind of scheming."
Li Jing smiled as she looked at the blooming flowers: "I knew it. When you said you wanted me to help you, you really just wanted me to relax. Now look at me, acting all high and mighty."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "That's how friends should be. If you're not satisfied today and don't say anything, we'll only drift further apart. Tell me everything in the future."
Li Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Huakai."
Hua Kai said, "Alright, don't be so polite with me. For now, you can stay at the factory. Even if you become a salesperson later, it's best to understand the structure of sofas and beds now. This way, when you sell them, customers will trust you more."
Li Jing said, "I will work hard and won't waste any time."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "I still need to go to the store with Ye Yifan to take another look, so I won't talk to you anymore."
Li Jing agreed and went back to the factory.
Hua Kai called Ye Yifan, and they got into the car together and went to the store.
On the way, Hua Kai told Ye Yifan about Li Jing's idea, and Ye Yifan had no objection and just listened to Hua Kai.
When I arrived at the store, the renovation was basically finished. The walls that had been painted were dry, and the different style partitions on the second floor were all done. All that was left was for the curtains and bedding to arrive, and once the soft furnishings were added, it would be ready.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, as they wouldn't be so busy these next few days.
Seeing that class was about to start, Ye Yifan said, "I'll call Xiaoxue and ask for leave for you for one class. You can go back after you've had some food."
Hua Kai shook her head: "No, let's just buy a loaf of bread each and have a bite. How can we make progress if we don't suffer a little during the startup phase?"
Ye Yifan laughed: "Who says starting a business means suffering? Today it was my fault for not managing my time well, it won't happen again next time."
Hua Kai thought to herself, "In my past life, I worked myself to the bone trying to start my own business. You rich people are different; you make it sound so easy. But I don't have any money, so I have to work hard."
Ye Yifan looked at Hua Kai's changing face and asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you plotting against me?"
Hua Kai laughed too. Although she hadn't been scheming, she wasn't expecting anything from him either: "Yes, I was just thinking that since you're rich and talk so arrogantly, I'd have to squeeze more out of you in the future. But I'm really not that delicate. I'm going to buy some bread, do you want to come along?"
Ye Yifan laughed at Hua Kai's words and nodded, saying, "Then let's go together."
The two got out of the car and bought bread, biscuits, and drinks at a convenience store. Then Hua Kai told Ye Yifan to hurry back to work, and she went back to school as well.
Hua Kai is studying very hard now because skipping a grade is something she has to do, and this year really can't be wasted.
It started snowing lightly on Saturday afternoon, but that didn't stop Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi from going home, as they hadn't been home for half a month.
Today, besides the two of them, Li Jing also went back together, along with a few others who usually take the same bus. It was lively with everyone traveling together. Whenever Li Yanmei traveled with Hua Kai, she would practice her spoken English with him. Now, everyone in the group has started to join in, and even Hua Qingyi has learned a lot from it.
Seeing how diligently they studied, Li Jing secretly resolved to study harder and make something of herself in the future.
We got off the bus at the village entrance.
Jiang Lanfeng came to pick up Li Jing.
This was the first time Li Jing had been away from home for so many days, and she still shed tears when she saw her mother.
Jiang Lanfeng also started wiping away tears.
Hua Kai teased the two of them, saying, "Feng Gu, Li Jing, it's so cold outside, you two should go home and cry on the kang (heated brick bed)."
Jiang Fenglan chuckled: "This girl, all she does is try to amuse herself."
Hua Qingyi said, "Doesn't Aunt Feng know my sister? She's such a joy to be around. The snow is getting heavy, Aunt Feng, you should hurry home. Li Jing promises she has a lot to say to you."
Jiang Lanfeng looked at Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi and said, "Thanks to you siblings for taking care of Li Jing, I don't know what to say."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Then let's not talk about it. I miss my mom too. Aunt Feng, my brother and I are going home."
Jiang Lanfeng nodded repeatedly: "Go back quickly."
Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi, the two siblings, ran home.
She didn't come back last week, but this week Huakai brought back all the fabric she bought for making cotton-padded coats, along with the patterns for the clothes. It's a good time to have Gulanyan make cotton-padded coats for everyone in the family. The ones she made herself are thick and look nice too.
When we got home, Gu Lanyan's dumplings were already in the pot. We invited them inside to warm up by the fire; they had already started tending the fire pit. Winter had truly arrived.
Hua Qingyang was already reading English on the kang (a heated brick bed). Just then, Hua Kai came back and spoke to him in English while warming her hands. Hua Qingyang could answer most of the questions, and Hua Qingyi could occasionally add a few words.
Hua Kai began to admire Hua Qingyi's learning ability and attitude. He was really serious about everything he learned, and even found Hua Kai's English textbook from her first year of junior high school to study, saying that it could be used even in adult education.
These things made Hua Kai sigh. If the family had been better off before, her older brother would definitely have gone to university. It's a pity he didn't even finish junior high school.
Fortunately, there is still a chance. She wants to find an opportunity to talk to her older brother in the next few days and tell him to focus on his career and studies before pursuing love. This is partly to give him a chance to have a future with Zhang Miao, and partly to prevent them from starting a relationship too early.
After finishing their meal and turning on the lights, Hua Kai talked to Gu Lan Yan about making clothes.
Gu Lanyan took out the cotton-padded jackets she had recently made for them: "I made them for all of you, according to the most popular styles at the market right now."
Hua Kai's style looks pretty good. Gu Lanyan knows that Hua Kai doesn't like anything flashy, so this cotton-padded jacket is a very ordinary one, a straight, long style, dark green, and not easy to get dirty.
I made half-length, straight-cut cotton-padded jackets for my older brother and younger brother. They were both dark blue, very ordinary styles, but quite comfortable and thick to wear.
