Shen Qingqing looked at her uncle with sparkling eyes. Her uncle was really awesome!
Sure enough, all she had to do was offer some suggestions, and then she could just relax and be a lazy bum.
She died at the age of twenty-eight in her previous life. In terms of life experience and work experience, she couldn't even compare to her current parents and uncle.
All she could do was to give her uncle a little hint about some major future developments, or make some money herself. The rest was simply to prevent her family and herself from following the same path as in her previous life.
After figuring this out, Shen Qingqing's inexplicable anxiety dissipated considerably.
She hadn't figured things out before, always wanting to meddle in everything, but she couldn't get involved at all. Not only was she young, but she also spent most of her time at school, which caused her anxiety to worsen.
Shen Qingqing lowered her head and smiled.
"Oh right, this is the lease agreement. I was working overtime at the company, so I brought it back with me." Li Xunjin released Shen Qingqing's cheek and took out three contracts from the briefcase hanging on his hand.
After Li Xunli took it, she told Li Xunjin, "Okay, but brother, you have to come with me tomorrow to talk to Aunt Huifen about the contents and terms of this contract. Aunt Huifen is a little scared when she hears about signing a contract."
Li Xunjin nodded, naturally agreeing.
Things proceeded smoothly from there. After listening to Li Xunjin's explanation, the elderly couple, Li Huifen and her husband, understood that the lease agreement simply stipulated the rental of a porcelain kiln and did not contain any extra clauses designed to cheat them.
Therefore, Li Xunli successfully rented Chen Manyu's porcelain kiln for sixty yuan a day.
Chen Manyu fired buttons, including new designs, in his family's porcelain kiln.
Li Xunli fired corsages, including new designs, in her family's kiln.
The number of finished products has increased dramatically. In the time it used to take to fire one batch, another batch could be made and fired seamlessly.
After all, now that we're familiar with the process, the speed has increased significantly.
However, speed also has its drawbacks. Sometimes, it's not enough to control both furnaces at the same time, which leads to problems with the heat and reduces efficiency.
Having resolved the issue of the venue, Li Xunli also sent out recruitment advertisements. However, there were very few casual workers still firing everyday porcelain, let alone more refined decorative porcelain like this.
For several days in a row, Li Xunli did not receive any messages or calls from anyone wanting to apply for the job.
That evening, during dinner, since Shen Rongzhou didn't need to drive at night, they ate at home together and told some funny stories. As a result, Li Xunli choked and strained her back.
Chaos erupted at the dinner table. Fortunately, there was a small clinic specializing in bone treatment not far from home. Shen Rongzhou hurriedly called Li Xunjin and carried Li Xunli to the car to seek medical help at the clinic.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Li Xunli cried out in pain as the doctor pressed down on her while she was lying on the small bed.
After pressing on a few more spots, the doctor withdrew his hand: "It's a minor strain, not serious. It's probably because you choked and then passed stool. Come to me for acupuncture for the next three days, and also apply some plaster for a few days, and you'll be completely healed. Just make sure to rest more these next few days and avoid passing stool again."
"Okay, okay, I got it, doctor!" Shen Rongzhou hurriedly replied.
Then the doctor asked the young apprentice to prepare the acupuncture tools.
Neither Shen Qingqing nor Shen Yangyang had ever seen such a long needle before. Shen Yangyang, in particular, was terrified and burst into tears when she saw the long needle being pierced into Li Xunli's body.
After the needle was inserted, Li Xunli felt some relief and asked Shen Rongzhou to take Shen Yangyang out so she wouldn't have to watch from there.
The acupuncture worked quite quickly. After two hours of treatment, Li Xunli felt almost no pain and was able to walk on her own.
After this incident, Li Xunli didn't dare to work so hard anymore. Just as she relaxed on the third day, her phone rang.
Finally, someone came to apply for the job.
After arranging a time and place with the other party, Li Xunli conducted a brief interview and then had them fire a small animal to test it out. There was no need to wait for glazing; once the clay was fired, she immediately placed an order for someone to work on it.
However, when signing the contract, I emphasized to the other party that we could not take the unique porcelain designs we learned here and make them elsewhere after the project was completed, otherwise we would face legal action.
The other party was a middle-aged woman around forty years old, somewhat dark-skinned, and seemed very quiet. Upon hearing that she would face legal trouble for leaking information, she repeatedly waved her hands and said no.
After finding a job, Li Xunli began to teach the other person how to make corsage designs.
With an extra person helping, although the individual's work speed slowed down, the overall output did not decrease, and the workload was significantly reduced.
In mid-April, Wu Jingyuan said that the quantity of goods was sufficient.
These clothes were originally intended for spring and autumn, but with the weather getting warmer, they're not selling well anymore.
The part-time job at the porcelain kiln was paid on a piece-rate basis. Li Xunli kept track of how much she made each day, and then the workers would summarize the earnings and pay her once a week.
On the day Wu Jingyuan notified them that work could be stopped, Li Xunli immediately stopped it. As for the rented venue, it was easy to just tell Chen Manyu, and he would take care of it and lock it up.
On the other hand, when Li Xunli contacted the part-time worker, the other party asked her if she could continue working.
This sounds like he wants to be a long-term employee.
However, Li Xunli's supply is not stable. Although the gift company is making steady orders, the demand for porcelain is not that high. There is only one gift box, which she can handle on her own.
So Li Xunli shook her head and told the woman that she didn't intend to hire a long-term worker for the time being, but if she was willing to come again when there was work available, she would be given priority.
The woman had no choice but to exchange phone numbers with Li Xunli and leave after settling her wages.
Li Xunli also received a notification from Li Xunjin that they needed to prepare to set off to find suitable materials.
Shen Qingqing was already used to hearing that her mother was going on another long trip.
While working on the third-grade workbook she had bought from the bookstore, she calmly repeated her mother's meticulous instructions as she packed her luggage: "Okay, I understand. Yangyang has been coughing lately, so when she goes to kindergarten in the morning, put the pear soup I made for her the night before in a thermos for her to take with her. Dad has been feeling hot lately, so he should drink some herbal water to help cool him down..."
In just over two months, Shen Qingqing will be able to skip a grade. So during this time, she has been casually working through some third-grade practice papers to keep up her sense of the questions, afraid that she might give answers that are not within the scope of third-grade knowledge during the exam.
