Upon hearing this, Yao Runyang fell silent.
Shen Qingqing's pupils were still wide with shock. She couldn't even imagine turning the content of each painting into an actual ceramic work. How could her mother have made three in less than three months?!
After Li Xunli finished speaking, she carefully rolled up all the drawing paper in her hand and handed it back exactly as it was.
He remained natural throughout the entire process, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.
Only Shen Qingqing, who was standing next to her, noticed the sweat on her mother's palms.
A moment of silent tension fell over the atmosphere, but Shen Qingqing no longer insisted on getting her mother to successfully land the 10,000 yuan order.
Because she had seen her mother polishing porcelain, and that radiance and passion had already fulfilled her desire for a vibrant mother.
When Chen Yanfeng, the host, saw that the atmosphere had cooled down, he immediately started a new topic to liven things up again.
After all, Li Xunli is the mother of Shen Qingqing, the mentor of his beloved daughter. His daughter will continue to be friends with Shen Qingqing in the future, and for his daughter's sake, he would never wrong the Shen family.
On the other hand, there are his partners who have a stake in the business, so of course they wouldn't be willing to suffer any injustice.
So we have to start a new topic.
Fortunately, both sides were quite accommodating, and the topic was dropped.
Seeing that there was a chance, Shen Qingqing quickly took Chen Man to Yao Runyang's place to get the two sets of porcelain zodiac animals.
"Uncle Yao, can you give them to us? We want to play with them." Shen Qingqing took Chen Man and Shen Yangyang's hands on either side and asked Yao Runyang.
Yao Runyang glanced at them and smiled at Shen Qingqing, "Excuse me, little sister, I'm planning to buy these two sets of porcelain zodiac figurines. I'll have to talk to your mother about it later."
Shen Qingqing was struck dumb.
Undeterred, she asked, "Do you want these two as samples too?"
Yao Runyang smiled slightly, "Your mother said she could only make three before Christmas, but I have five friends to give them to, so I have to give the remaining two as a token of my appreciation."
Shen Qingqing hadn't expected things to develop this way. She opened her mouth, but reluctantly handed over the two sets of zodiac porcelain pieces.
However, she didn't tell her mother about this beforehand. Of course, such a good thing had to be told to her mother by the big boss himself!
Unexpectedly, Yao Runyang, who had intended to reveal this to Shen Qingqing, saw that Shen Qingqing hadn't mentioned a single word to Li Xunli all day. With dinner approaching, he had no choice but to quickly find Li Xunli to make amends.
"Ms. Li! Ms. Li!" Yao Runyang called out to Li Xunli, who was busy at the dining table.
Li Xunli put down her chopsticks, turned around and asked, "Boss Yao, what's wrong?"
Yao Runyang smiled and said, "It's like this. I'm planning to ask you to make these five sets of porcelain for me. I'll tell you which three to make first. As for the two sample sets you brought today, I'd like to buy them as a small stepping stone for my other two partners. Then, I'll send them to you after you finish the remaining two. It's the same thing."
"The price of the five sets of porcelain is still 10,000 yuan. As for the other two sets, you can name your price and I'll buy them."
Li Xunli didn't expect that her words would actually lead to this deal.
However, thinking of how much her daughter wanted those two sets of zodiac porcelain, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Yao, I wonder if the two bosses you want to give them to have any other color preferences? How about I make two new sets in their preferred colors and give them to them?"
Yao Runyang thought about Li Xunli's suggestion for a moment and decided to adopt it: "Okay, let's burn a set of blue and red!"
"Pure blue and pure red?" Li Xunli pressed.
"Sky blue, I guess. The red should be a lighter shade, but a bit darker than your pink." Yao Runyang's description of the red was ambiguous.
Li Xunli was a little troubled. The sky blue was relatively clear, but the red was too blurry.
"Mr. Yao, when are you free next? I was thinking of bringing you to my kiln so I can mix that red color you mentioned and you can take a look. Once it's mixed and confirmed, we can start making it. What do you think?"
Yao Runyang agreed without hesitation, "Okay, tomorrow or the day after is fine."
"How about tomorrow? We can meet at Mr. Chen's supermarket, and my husband will show you the way, okay?"
Yao Runyang nodded, "Okay, then let's meet at 10 a.m. tomorrow in front of Old Chen's supermarket."
After discussing this matter, Li Xunli found Shen Rongzhou and told him about taking Yao Runyang to the porcelain kiln the next morning.
After nodding, Shen Rongzhou realized what was happening and asked, "Boss Yao wants you to take on another order?"
Li Xunli made no attempt to hide her true feelings from Shen Rongzhou, her smile practically reaching the heavens. She held up her index finger and twirled it in front of him: "Still the same price. The price for the other two sets of porcelain will be set separately."
Shen Qingqing and Chen Man played until very late. When it was time to part, they were still regretting their two sets of zodiac porcelain. Unexpectedly, the next second they saw her father quickly pack up the two small wooden boxes and take them away with him.
Um?
Shen Qingqing blinked. What's going on?
When they reached Chen Man's house, Shen Qingqing turned to her father and asked, "Didn't Uncle Yao want to buy these two sets of porcelain? Why did he take them back?"
Shen Rongzhou handed her the two small boxes. "Your mother knows you want these two sets. She told Boss Yao to make two sets in colors that his business partner likes."
Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then happily accepted the two wooden boxes. "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
Li Xunli, holding the sleeping Shen Yangyang, reached out and patted Shen Qingqing's head when she heard what Shen Qingqing said.
"But how did you know that Uncle Yao originally intended to buy these two sets of porcelain?" Shen Rongzhou asked Shen Qingqing as he lifted her onto the motorcycle.
Shen Qingqing blinked. "Because Uncle Yao told me, and he also told me that he wanted Mom to take on this porcelain order, but I think Uncle Yao should tell Mom about this good thing, so that Mom would be happier."
"You little rascal!" Li Xunli, holding Shen Yangyang, sat on the back of the motorcycle. Hearing her say that, she chuckled and scolded her.
Because it was too late to get back, I called my grandmother's house to say that I wouldn't be picking up Shen Hong that night.
After arriving home, Li Xunli settled Shen Yangyang in and then said to Shen Qingqing, "Qingqing, your father and I have to go out for a while. After you take a shower, dry your hair and go to sleep. Your father and I will lock the door from the outside. When we come back, we have the key to open it. So if you hear anyone asking you to open the door, don't open it, okay?"
Shen Qingqing asked them, "Where are you going?"
"Mom has to go to the porcelain kiln. Boss Yao is going to the porcelain kiln tomorrow to select glaze colors. Mom has to go and prepare the raw materials for mixing the glaze colors first. After they have settled and settled, it will be convenient for Boss Yao to take them directly when he comes tomorrow."
Shen Qingqing understood that this was important business, so she nodded, waved goodbye to them, and said goodbye.
