Looking at the money in her hand, Li Xunli couldn't help but be tempted. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, when are you free? I estimate you'll need to set aside four or five days to look at the raw materials. We don't have them here; we'll have to go to another place."
Zhang Hengyun thought for a moment, "Then it might be the week after next. I'll be busy in the next city next week, and I can only come over after I'm done there."
“Okay, let’s arrange it for next week then,” Li Xunli said confidently.
"Let's exchange phone numbers so we can stay in touch. Don't worry about the car or the fare, I'll take care of that."
After exchanging phone numbers with Li Xunli and making some preliminary arrangements, Zhang Hengyun took her leave.
When the theater troupe owner says he's busy, he's not lying.
Both sides said goodbye happily.
As soon as the person left, Shen Qingqing immediately asked her mother, "Mom, why didn't you just agree?"
"What a great publicity opportunity! If the theater troupes that are performing all use your porcelain, then who knows, some of the people who go to see the show might take a liking to it and order some from you too!"
Li Xunli poked Shen Qingqing's forehead in an annoyed tone, "Made to order, made to order, your mother has to cut it into three pieces to make it!"
"Ouch!" Shen Qingqing clutched her forehead and leaned to the side, immediately exclaiming, "Then just quit that clothing factory job! Anyway, you only make a thousand or eight hundred yuan a month working yourself to the bone, and that's only if they don't deduct your wages."
"Look at Uncle Yao's order, it's only ten thousand yuan, and Aunt Zhang's order is two thousand. If you work until the New Year, it'll be more than your salary for that shift! And even more!"
"Resign! Resign! All you can see is what's in front of you! Do you think other people's money grows on trees? They can just order whatever they want!" Li Xunli snapped angrily.
Shen Qingqing felt helpless. She really wanted to tell Li Xunjin about their plan, but since it hadn't been put into practice yet, if she told her mother, her mother might get scared and keep trying to stop them from doing it.
This is something we really have to do first and then inform later.
Shen Qingqing sighed like an old man, wondering if her uncle had sorted out the company and its sub-brands yet.
And what about Uncle Jingyuan's clothes? When are you going to start selling them?
These things can't be rushed, of course.
On Sunday morning, the commotion caused by Li Xunli pulling Shen Yangyang out of bed was so loud that it also kicked Shen Qingqing, waking her up.
With sleepy eyes still bleary, she pounced on Shen Yangyang and slapped her hard across the bottom before slipping into the bathroom before Shen Yangyang could yell and her mother could scold her.
A perfect escape!
After taking care of herself, Shen Qingqing slowly ate her breakfast at the dining table, watching Shen Yangyang being sent to her grandmother's house by her mother.
Then, around nine o'clock, Chen Man called and told them to go outside and wait at the intersection.
It takes 20 minutes to drive from their town to Lushi Town, and about half an hour to get to the Xinhua Bookstore.
Along the way, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man chattered away in the back seat, discussing the books they wanted to buy. Every time Chen Man mentioned a comic book, Shen Qingqing would add a classic novel to the list.
By the end, Chen Man herself felt guilty and hugged Shen Qingqing, saying ingratiatingly, "Hehe, Qingqing, we can exchange books!"
It's supposed to be an exchange, but it would be strange if she even reads the books Shen Qingqing bought!
Moreover, the books Shen Qingqing bought were all from the reading list her Chinese teacher mentioned last time, in preparation for the upcoming competition.
Read as much of the original text as you can. After all, for subjective reading comprehension questions, if you haven't read the original text, it's difficult to accurately grasp the central idea required by the questions by just looking at the materials and excerpts from the questions.
Half an hour passed quickly amidst the two little girls' chatter.
"We're here! Get out of the car!" Chen Yanfeng parked the car on the side of the road, unlocked the door, and called for everyone to get out.
After getting off the bus, Shen Qingqing realized just how big "that Xinhua Bookstore" Chen Yurong had described was.
The horizontal storefront alone occupies four storefronts and is over ten meters long!
Once inside, the interior is about the depth of two storefronts.
This could be considered a small library!
The stationery and sports goods area and the book reading area are clearly separated. The stationery and sports goods area is on the right-hand side when facing the store, and the book reading area is on the left-hand side.
However, the checkout area is located at the entrance of the stationery and sports goods section.
Shen Qingqing and her friends mainly wanted to buy books and exercise books in the reading section, which they could buy when they passed by the stationery section on their way to check out.
Unlike the bright and airy stationery area, the lighting in the book reading area is softer, and disposable shoe covers are required to enter. There are many children sitting on the floor between the bookshelves reading books.
After the two children entered the book reading area with Li Xunli, they each went to find their own books. Chen Yanfeng was just accompanying the children, so he naturally followed behind them. That's why Li Xunli felt at ease going to find the reference books she needed.
"Wow! Qingqing, you bought so many classics!" Chen Man walked over after strolling through the comics section, carrying several copies of "Hilarious Campus" and "A Shuai," when she saw the books piled up to Shen Qingqing's waist.
The book on top is called "Camel Xiangzi".
Shen Qingqing slapped a green-covered copy of "Anne of Green Gables" on top of "Rickshaw Boy," clapped her hands, and exclaimed, "Alright! I've bought them all!"
Chen Yanfeng pushed a small cart over, "Put the books up here and move them over, you can't move them by hand."
Shen Qingqing and Chen Man worked together to stack the pile of books next to her legs onto the trolley one by one. Even though each book was light, carrying it back and forth a few times made their backs ache.
Then the two girls pushed the cart toward the stationery and sports goods section. When they passed by Huanggang Little Champion, Shen Qingqing casually picked up two sets.
Although she herself didn't need it, she couldn't let Chen Man do it alone. Without someone to accompany her in doing the exercises, she probably wouldn't take the initiative to do them.
When Chen Man saw those workbooks, her lips twitched, but she couldn't show her sadness too obviously, because her reason for coming was to buy workbooks.
Soon, they joined Li Xunli, pushing their strollers.
When Li Xunli saw the small cart full of extracurricular books, she was stunned for a moment, but because she didn't know whether her daughter or Chen Man had bought them, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
Shen Qingqing didn't bring any money with her this time, so her mother had to pay for the books. She glanced at her mother's expression and said, "Mom, these are the books I need for the competition I'm participating in. Our Chinese teacher recommended that I buy them!"
She skillfully used her teachers as a shield; last time it was her math teacher, and this time it was her language arts teacher.
Just like last time they didn't ask the math teacher for verification, Li Xunli won't ask the Chinese teacher for verification this time either.
Since it involves reading, only teachers would encourage students to read more books.
