Ye Yifan returned to the city on Tuesday morning because she had to go to work there.
However, it snowed heavily last night, so Ye Yifan took the train back today, which makes Hua Kai feel more at ease.
Hua Kai can't go back for now. It's just opened, and there are still many differences between the provincial capital and the city. She needs to observe for a while longer.
At noon, Li Hui arrived and said he wanted to invite Ye Yifan and Hua Kai over for a casual meal.
Hua Kai told him that Ye Yifan had returned to the city, and that they would go to Li Hui's place for dinner together in a few days when he came back.
Li Hui admired Hua Kai quite a bit, after all, she was still a student and yet she could run such a big business, so he spoke of her with great respect.
Hua Kai also respected Li Hui quite a bit, partly because he was much older than her, and partly because he was a righteous person.
After chatting for a while, they agreed to have dinner together when Ye Yifan returned, and then Li Hui went back.
Just after Li Hui left, Xiao He arrived with Chang Tingting.
Hua Kai was getting a headache seeing these two. Xiao He alone was already causing a lot of trouble, and now Chang Tingting was involved too. It was definitely not a serious matter.
As expected, after Xiao He led Chang Tingting into the store, she said to Hua Kai, "Hua Kai, show us around."
Hua Kai said to Xiao He, "If Auntie wants to look at furniture, it would be more appropriate to have the store's staff take you; they are more professional."
Xiao He looked at the blooming flowers and said, "You show us around, and I have something to tell you while we're at it."
Hua Kai said, "If Auntie has something to say, let's talk in the office upstairs."
Xiao He nodded and led Chang Tingting and Hua Kai upstairs.
Once upstairs and into the office, it was Ye Yifan's mother who had come, and Hua Kai was treated with the proper courtesy and respect.
Xiao He was asked to sit on the sofa, and then tea was poured for them.
Chang Tingting sat next to Xiao He the whole time.
So Hua Kai sat down on the single sofa on the side, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and didn't say anything. She wanted to let the other person speak first so she could take the initiative.
Seeing that Hua Kai remained silent, Xiao He spoke first: "Hua Kai, it's not easy for you and Xiao Fan to run such a big business. Why don't you let Tingting help you? Tingting's family is also in business, and she has more experience in these things than you. You can be in charge of the design, and leave everything else to Tingting."
Hua Kai laughed when she heard this: "Our business is doing very well, everything is orderly and perfect, why would I let outsiders manage it?"
Xiao He looked at Hua Kai with impatience: "You still have to go to school next year, and Xiao Fan has to work. Where will you find the time and energy? I'm doing this for your own good."
Hua Kai looked at Xiao He and asked, "Does Uncle Ye know about this?"
Xiao He did indeed come without her husband's knowledge: "These are small matters, and Xiao Fan's father doesn't need to be involved. I can make the decisions myself."
Hua Kai smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "Ye Yifan guarantees he doesn't know about this, because if he did, he wouldn't have asked you to come to me. You really can't make the decision on this small matter."
"Hua Kai, what do you mean? Aunt Xiao is Xiao Fan's mother, why can't she stand up for him?" Chang Tingting said with a fake sense of righteousness.
Hua Kai frowned and glanced at Chang Tingting: "Ye Yifan is an adult and doesn't need anyone to make decisions for him. Besides, this business is something Ye Yifan has worked hard for himself, and it's not a small business. It's wishful thinking for outsiders to interfere."
Chang Tingting didn't know how much money Hua Kai and his team could actually make. She always thought that her family was well-off, and that she was only interested in Ye Yifan because she thought that her family's business was big and that she could use that to win Ye Yifan's heart.
At this moment, Hua Kai brought up business, which was Chang Tingting's most confident point. She looked at Hua Kai with disdain: "Your vision is too narrow. You've never seen a big business. The department store in the provincial capital sells clothing from our factory. Have you heard of Evergreen Garment Factory? That's ours. You've just started out. You make it sound so impressive. Do you think I don't know anything?"
Hua Kai laughed as she listened to Chang Tingting's words: "I really haven't heard of it, but the clothing market is very competitive. Your family isn't exactly unique, so it's better to be humble, don't you think?"
Hua Kai had never considered getting into the clothing business before, but now she could see the unease in Xiao He and Chang Tingting's hearts. She suddenly thought that if she wanted to start a clothing factory, she should find one similar in size to Chang Tingting's family. She would only need to draw patterns, nothing else mattered. She just needed a 20% stake and to draw a few patterns for them regularly. As long as she could suppress Chang Qing Teng, she would feel better.
Chang Tingting remained confident: "Don't worry, our family is definitely much bigger than yours."
Hua Kai didn't intend to argue. Anyway, she was in the provincial capital recently. Finding a clothing factory and competing with Changqing Teng would be easy.
She said, "Saying anything else is useless. It's impossible for you to interfere in my and Ye Yifan's business. You should pay more attention to your own family's business. Don't let your competitors crush you, or you'll regret it later."
Chang Tingting thought Hua Kai was saying this in a fit of anger, and became even more proud: "Don't worry, our family is definitely better than yours."
At this moment, the store manager knocked on the door and came in, saying to Hua Kai, "Boss, we need to restock. These sofas are selling particularly well. Don't be fooled by the high price; they're just so popular. We sold three of the most expensive one this morning, and two of this color-blocked one this morning as well."
Hua Kai took the order and looked at the popular styles. They were quite different from those in the city. The consumption level here was still high. In the city, ordinary styles sold well, while in the provincial capital, the more expensive styles sold well.
After reviewing the order, she said to the store manager, "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll call the factory and ask them to deliver the goods as soon as possible."
Xiao He had just heard the shop manager say that they sold three of each item. She knew the most expensive style was over four hundred yuan each, so three of them would be twelve or thirteen hundred yuan. There were also color-blocked items, which would be two or three hundred yuan each. They would have to sell some other items too. Wouldn't the turnover be over two thousand yuan this morning? Would the turnover for the whole day be five thousand? With two shops, could the turnover for a day really be over ten thousand?
She couldn't quite believe the accounts, and after thinking about them again, she still couldn't believe it.
She couldn't help but ask Huakai, "Do you sell so many every day?"
I can't go into too much detail about Huakai, but anyone who knows a little can figure some of it out.
So she said, "Hmm, more or less."
Xiao He calculated it again: "Over ten thousand in daily revenue?"
Hua Kai didn't need to hide anything from him: "Yes."
Chang Tingting, standing nearby, couldn't remain calm any longer: "How many flowers will you say?"
Hua Kai said, "I can't say too much about trade secrets, but I know just as much as you do."
Chang Tingting's jealousy exploded instantly. She questioned Hua Kai, "Why do you get to work with Brother Xiao Fan? You're just a country girl. Tell me, did you seduce Brother Xiao Fan? Or... or did you sleep with Brother Xiao Fan...?"
