Li Xunli no longer hides everything from Shen Qingqing. Seeing her concern, she sighed and told her about discovering that the door of the porcelain kiln had been smashed that afternoon.
"What? Are you alright?" Shen Qingqing immediately became nervous upon hearing this.
"I'm fine. I only saw how badly it was smashed when I got back from your grandma's house after dinner." Li Xunli said, her voice filled with distress.
Shen Qingqing patted her mother's arm and comforted her, "It's good that everyone is alright. We'll fix the broken door."
"Did you call the police?" Shen Qingqing asked again.
Li Xunli nodded. "Your uncle has taken care of the door repair and the police report. But there are no security cameras at our porcelain kiln. We know who did it, but the police came this afternoon, checked it, and left without finding any evidence."
"Tsk..." Shen Qingqing also clicked her tongue in annoyance.
At that time, they didn't have the habit of installing surveillance cameras. In addition, the porcelain kiln area was desolate and dilapidated. It was already very troublesome to lay the electrical circuits, let alone install a surveillance camera.
wrong!
"Mom, what about Uncle Jingyuan's brooches and buttons?" Shen Qingqing turned her head and saw the calendar hanging on the wall. Women's Day had long passed, and the goods should have been delivered long ago.
Li Xunli propped her head up and said worriedly, "I made an emergency batch before the end of the year, just enough for your Uncle Jingyuan to try in Guangzhou and Shenzhen on Women's Day. The results were so good that he rushed over to ask me for more orders."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing's attention was immediately drawn to the words "good effect": "How good is the effect?"
Li Xunli recalled for a moment, but didn't remember clearly. She only said vaguely, "At first, not many people bought them, and I thought this trick wouldn't work. But unexpectedly, on the weekend, many white-collar women went to buy them together. The sales of the regular style were so-so, the button style sold the best, and the corsage style was the one that everyone was willing to spend money to buy. It seems that no one cares about what style of clothes they want anymore."
After saying that, Li Xunli looked at Shen Qingqing with a bit of helplessness, "It's because there are so many people spending money to buy corsages, and the quantity of goods supplied is so small, that's why your Uncle Jingyuan rushed back to urge the delivery."
"Not many were newly made. Your uncle took them all today. He'll notify your Uncle Jingyuan to pick them up. He'll also tell him that we might have to stop for a while to lay low."
Shen Qingqing touched her chin, walked past her mother, and leaned over the sofa to make a phone call to her uncle.
When Li Xunjin received the call, he thought it was Li Bo's men chasing him to his house, and he was so nervous that he almost drove off.
It turned out that Shen Qingqing wanted him to invite Wu Jingyuan over on the weekend, as she had something to say to him about his batch of clothes.
Li Xunjin recalled his niece's business plan and Wu Jingyuan's excited tone when he came to him that day, telling him that the blind box clothing sales were booming. He nodded and agreed.
It's not that he's carefree and doesn't ask questions, but he'll be listening anyway, so there's no need to go through the motions.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingqing heard Li Xunli sigh heavily in her ear again.
But Shen Qingqing couldn't do anything about it. When she called the police, they said they couldn't arrest anyone without evidence. As for revenge, they weren't the kind of people who dealt with thugs; they didn't even know them.
Having a Damocles' sword hanging over your head, with no idea when it will finally fall, is incredibly annoying.
When Shen Rongzhou returned that evening, he learned of the incident and was filled with lingering fear.
Seeing him like this, Li Xunli couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, I won't be going to the porcelain kiln for the next few days. Don't get into an accident on the road because you're worried about me!"
Shen Rongzhou shook his head: "No, no, I'll be careful."
The next day, while Li Xunli was cleaning at home, she heard urgent knocking on the door, accompanied by several calls of "Aunt Li".
Li Xunli hurried over to open the door, and as soon as she opened it, she saw Chen Manyu shouting anxiously, "Aunt Li! They! They smashed everything in the porcelain kiln!"
Upon hearing this news, Li Xunli's mind went blank. She followed Chen Manyu and ran towards the porcelain kiln, calling Li Xunjin as she ran.
When the two arrived at the kiln, they looked through the large hole in the door that had not yet been repaired. All the raw material powder that Chen Manyu had previously pounded and packaged was mixed together haphazardly, covering the entire ground. There were also messy and irregular footprints on the raw material powder.
The entire kiln was filled with a tangled cloud of smoke and dust that filled the air.
In the entire kiln, only three things were still in good condition: two kilns, a millstone for throwing clay and a mortar for pounding raw materials.
If she hadn't sealed those still-wet porcelain blanks into the kiln before she left yesterday, there would probably still be fragments of porcelain blanks on the ground now!
Pushing open the dilapidated door and facing everything more directly, Li Xunli felt a sharp pain in her chest as a breath rushed out of her chest!
She had originally planned to sneak over and continue making buttons and corsages while no one was causing trouble, but she never expected them to ruin everything like this!
This is all her money!!!
Li Bo!!!
Chen Manyu looked at the raw materials he had pounded, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white and even trembled slightly.
He kept turning his head to look at the sand and dust on the ground, and kept raising and lowering his hands.
He tried to salvage the situation, to separate the powder and sand from the different raw materials, but he couldn't.
Each type of raw material powder was mixed together and could not be separated at all.
They don't even know how to utilize waste.
Preparing clay requires careful mixing according to different types and proportions to achieve the desired clay. A random mixture like this is simply unusable.
Chen Manyu felt a tightness in his chest and throat.
When Li Xunjin arrived, his face darkened upon seeing the mess on the ground.
After the police were called again, they realized the situation was serious. They carefully inquired about the price of Li Xunli's items and took it even more seriously after hearing that they had cost four figures.
When asked if they had any suspects, Li Xunli didn't directly say it was Li Bo, but instead described the conflicts she had had with Li Bo before.
After taking notes, the police officer said, "Okay, we understand the situation. Our station will send people over to keep watch and do our best to catch the person who damaged the property."
Li Xunli took a deep breath to ease the pain in her heart. "Okay, thank you, officers! You must help us find out the truth and catch those damned bastards!"
