Li Xunjin is discussing the details of repairing the porcelain kiln with Li Jiaming.
Just as Shen Qingqing was about to run over to her uncle to prove that she had earned the money to repair the porcelain kiln herself, she saw a man in a black short-sleeved shirt standing next to her uncle.
Shen Qingqing's feet suddenly became unable to move.
She casually withdrew her foot, lowered her head, and stared at Shen Yangyang.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that childhood trauma has a very profound impact. Since it's called a trauma, it's definitely hard to erase no matter how much time passes...
Shen Qingqing silently tried to justify herself in her heart, but she couldn't escape the call of her aunt and uncle.
"Qingqing! Come here! What are you standing there for!" Li Xunli had almost reached Li Xunjin's side when she turned around and realized that her two daughters hadn't followed. She shouted loudly.
Only then did Li Xunjin notice them.
Shen Qingqing moved her feet, but didn't move, a struggle flashing across her face.
Shen Yangyang, being led by her sister, heard her mother calling and shook her sister's hand, "Sister, let's go!"
Shen Qingqing closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and walked toward Li Xunjin with a blank expression.
As soon as she arrived, she heard her mother greeting someone: "Brother Jingyuan? What brings you to Chaocheng? Have you settled things at the company?"
"Come find your brother if you need anything." Wu Jingyuan smiled, but his face looked fierce.
Shen Qingqing, hiding behind her mother, pouted. The problem hadn't been solved yet, so she came to find her uncle for help!
Then her mother pulled her out from behind and patted her on the shoulder, telling her to call out to someone.
Shen Qingqing forced herself to remain calm and said, "Uncle Jingyuan."
Shen Yangyang called out to her in a childish voice.
Wu Jingyuan smiled when he saw Shen Qingqing, and his wicked chubby hand reached out towards her again. "Hey, Qingqing has grown so much! There's hardly any flesh on her face anymore."
Shen Qingqing quickly hid behind her mother, also hiding Shen Yangyang in the process, to avoid the fat hand that wanted to pinch her face again!
Li Xunli wrapped her arms around Shen Qingqing, afraid that she would fall.
After confirming the details of repairing the porcelain kiln with Li Jiaming, Li Xunjin turned to Li Xunli and asked, "Sis, is there anything else we should pay attention to?"
After asking about the points she had thought of, Li Xunli shook her head and said, "That's all. That's it."
“Okay, these problems aren’t difficult to fix. How about we just fix a sheet metal door? We can work on the kiln and the door at the same time,” Li Jiaming confirmed.
Li Xunli nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help!"
Li Jiaming said it was "no big deal" and then told people to get to work.
Li Xunli then looked at Li Xunjin. She wanted to ask him how much money he had advanced, but seeing Wu Jingyuan beside her, she swallowed her words and simply said, "Brother, didn't you say you were very busy before?"
Li Xunjin patted Wu Jingyuan on the shoulder with one hand, "Aren't we still busy? Jingyuan wants to pull me into starting a clothing company with him, and he's been pestering me at my company for two or three days now."
"Sis, can you help me with this? I've never worked in the clothing market before, so I really can't work with him to run a clothing company."
Only then did Li Xunli realize that Wu Jingyuan's so-called "something" to come to her brother was actually this kind of "something".
"Brother Jingyuan, aren't you putting my brother in a bit too difficult? He knows nothing about the clothing market, and he doesn't know what clothes look good or sell well. Don't tell me the company is going to fail, so you're just messing around with my brother like this!"
Wu Jingyuan chuckled awkwardly, "Xunli, what are you saying? My company lost half its capital, but we still have goods to sell, right? How is that taking advantage of your brother?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing peeked out from behind Li Xunli and asked, "How many have been sold?"
Wu Jingyuan's smile froze as he looked at Shen Qingqing: "Qingqing, children shouldn't interrupt adults."
Shen Qingqing, hiding behind Li Xunli, pouted, "That means Uncle Jingyuan didn't sell them! That's why he didn't want me to say anything!"
"Oh, you little devil!" Wu Jingyuan pointed helplessly at Shen Qingqing.
Li Xunjin then realized that the trouble Wu Jingyuan's company was facing might be much greater than he had imagined.
No wonder she took the initiative to talk to him.
Wu Jingyuan was always a top student in his class during college, and he was also very proud. So Li Xunjin never thought that Wu Jingyuan was in a desperate situation and that he was trying to persuade him to cooperate.
Looking back now, I guess he was using this statement to maintain his self-esteem.
Shen Qingqing didn't see Li Xunjin's slightly thoughtful expression. Instead, she secretly ran to the construction site and stood on tiptoe to look inside. The kiln had a courtyard, but it wasn't completely open-air. Instead, a waterproof membrane was stretched over the roof. The clay-making area was in the courtyard, and further inside was the kiln.
However, Shen Qingqing didn't know anything about ceramics. When appreciating them, she could only look at whether they were pretty or not, and couldn't tell what kind of kiln they were made of.
The kiln was very simple; Shen Qingqing could basically see everything at a glance.
Seeing nothing of interest, Shen Qingqing, looking like an old man with her hands behind her back, tried to walk back to Li Xunli's side, but when she turned around, she found that her mother had already gone around the construction gate and entered the porcelain kiln!
Shen Yangyang followed behind her, wanting to go inside as well.
Shen Qingqing rushed over, picked up Shen Yangyang, and ran back to Li Xunjin's side.
As soon as she got closer, she heard her uncle asking Wu Jingyuan if the company's goods were really not selling as she had said.
Shen Qingqing immediately changed her hand gesture, lifting Shen Yangyang up as if she were lifting weights, pretending to be playing with Shen Yangyang.
Then she heard Wu Jingyuan remain silent for a while before letting out a long sigh and saying, "Yes, you know what happened before. That liar lied to me, saying that this batch of clothes was going to be sold overseas, so he made one of those work clothes, saying that they were popular overseas."
"But these are fake now, so I don't know how we're going to sell these work clothes..."
As Shen Qingqing listened, she pondered what the popular clothes were like in 2006. She remembered that her mother bought many simple and elegant styles back then, and workwear would fit that category perfectly.
With a few minor modifications and embellishments, how could it not sell?
"I bought a bunch of fashion magazines and stayed home reading them, trying to figure out how to modify these clothes to make them marketable..."
Wu Jingyuan's words reminded Shen Qingqing that at this time, it seemed that some popular fashion magazines had not yet launched clothing magazines with a workwear style!
Once the magazine comes out, some urban ladies who like a simple and sophisticated workwear style will love this one. Their mothers must have bought several denim short workwear-style jackets in their past lives!
Shen Qingqing gasped, pondering how to persuade her uncle to agree to Wu Jingyuan's cooperation and then capitalize on this market trend.
Why not make some money while it's free?
Moreover, she also had to play a role in Wu Jingyuan's success, making him believe that it was with their help that his clothing company weathered the crisis and even made a fortune.
