That night, Lu Jiaxin had a dream that she was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 20,000 yuan from Lu Hongjun, but she said she had no money. When the kidnappers realized they couldn't get the money, they killed her.
After waking up, Lu Jiaxin found that her forehead and body were covered with sweat and was scared.
The next morning, she told Gu Wenfeng about the nightmare: "Brother Gu, I still want to find a woman who knows Kung Fu, and then she can sleep in the same room with me."
I used to think that having someone with good skills to protect me was enough, but now I think I need a bodyguard. If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your life, you lose everything.
Gu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know any woman who knows martial arts, but Old Qian should know her. I'll ask him about it when I call him later."
"good."
Gu Wenfeng first sent the three thieves away, and then called Lao Qiantou. He spoke in a language she couldn't understand, which was confusing.
After a few words, he covered the receiver and asked Lu Jiaxin: "Old Qiantou said that his granddaughter's leg skills are also good. He will pay her 600 yuan by the end of the year, and you will pay for all expenses."
Lu Jiaxin nodded quickly.
Gu Wenfeng talked for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he said with a smile: "Old Qiantou agreed."
Lu Jiaxin asked: "Brother Gu, how did you get to know such a master?"
Gu Wenfeng smiled and said, "He is a friend of my master. He is a martial arts expert and a man of loyalty. He just has a bad temper and doesn't like to be constrained. Otherwise, he would definitely make a name for himself."
Lu Jiaxin disagrees with this view: "Everyone has his own way of living, as long as he feels happy."
Some people pursue power and status, some pursue wealth, and some pursue a free and easy life. Everyone has their own aspirations and should not be forced. Forcing them will only make life miserable.
Gu Wenfeng thought about it and agreed.
Lu Jiaxin went on a shopping spree like she did in the ancient capital, buying all the pots, pans, rice, flour, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. Gu Wenfeng asked, "Didn't you say you didn't want to buy pots and pans?"
"I bought it when I saw it. It's not a big deal."
Gu Wenfeng knew that she had plenty of money now, but he felt it was a waste. He would be returning to Sijiu City in two months, and these things would be left to the landlord.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be wasted."
Her body couldn't afford to be so exhausted now, so after this deal she had to stay at home and take care of her body, and she wouldn't go anywhere. However, Lu Jiajie had applied for a six-month unpaid leave, which could be put to good use.
Gu Wenfeng knew she had a new idea when he saw her expression, so he reminded her, "The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. You can recover now since you are still young, but if you delay, you will suffer from the root of the disease for the rest of your life."
Lu Jiaxin knew that he had good intentions: "Brother Gu, I know what is more important."
She has money but cannot bear hardships, while Lu Jiajie lacks money but is in good health. The two can form a partnership. She pays and Lu Jiajie works, and they will each share half of the profits. Of course, they won't make a lot of money, but they will have no problem eating and drinking.
Two days later, Lu Jiajie and Xue Mao arrived. Sha Xiangyang had been out before, so he was bold enough to go to the address Lu Jiaxin gave him.
The first thing Xue Mao said when he saw Lu Jiaxin was: "Sister Xin, why are you so thin?"
Lu Jiaxin said in a relaxed tone: "I moved from the north to the south. I am not used to the climate and food, so I lost some weight. It's okay. I will have a better appetite when you cook for me in the future, and I will gain weight back soon."
Lu Jiaxin touched her nose and said, "I was so happy that I stayed at the beach and got blown by the cold wind. I will be more careful next time."
Not wanting to be nagged by Xue Mao, she quickly invited the other four people into the main room, and while pouring water, she politely said, "It's a bit shabby here, I hope you don't mind."
Ah Le looked at the clean house and said with a smile, "Girl, this place is already very good. I heard from my friends that many people who come to Guangzhou live in dormitories."
Sha Xiangyang echoed, "My documents and money were stolen, so I had to sleep under the bridge at night. Fortunately, it's not cold here since spring. If it were like in the old city, I would have frozen to death."
After talking for a while, Lu Jiaxin saw that they all looked tired and said, "Fifth brother, Xue Mao and Brother Gu will sleep in one room, and the five of you will sleep in the other two rooms. You decide how to sleep."
After Lu Jiajie assigned the rooms, he came to find Lu Jiaxin and asked, "You said you want to make shoes and sell them. How do you do it? Is there a method?"
Lu Jiaxin said that she had already ordered a batch of leather and had already selected a shoe processing factory: "Director Sun has a batch of leather in stock, and I have also negotiated with the processing factory. They can complete the orders on hand the day after tomorrow. You can take a day off tomorrow, and go to the leather factory to inspect the goods the day after tomorrow, and then send the goods to the processing factory."
She knew something about leather, but she was definitely not as professional as the people Lu Jiajie brought. Besides, she was fine with using her brain, but she should forget about doing anything that would consume her energy, and she should not faint on the spot and scare others.
Lu Jiajie frowned and said, "You have a cold, why are you running outside?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's just a cold, not a serious illness. Fifth brother, you and Xue Mao are both in Yangcheng. Is it safe for Fifth Sister-in-law and the two children to live in Guangming Road?"
Lu Jiajie said unhappily, "You don't need to worry about your fifth sister-in-law. You should take care of yourself more. You've been sick twice since you came to Yangcheng."
Lu Jiaxin was afraid that he would nag her, so she immediately said, "Fifth brother, I promise this is the last time."
Lu Jiajie hummed and said, "After the shoes are made, who are you going to sell them to?"
Lu Jiaxin's plan was to make a batch first, and then take the shoes to find buyers: "Su Heming has a few brothers in the clothing and footwear business. When the time comes, ask him to help make some connections, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Xinxin, why do you think other people must have your shoes?"
Lu Jiaxin showed him the drawings of the six shoes she designed. She knew that the technology in various industries in the mainland was backward, so she didn't dare to design too complicated styles. These six winter shoes were all simple and generous.
When Lu Jiajie saw the six shoes, he asked in surprise, "Who drew these?"
"I drew this, what do you think?"
Lu Jiajie said without hesitation: "They all look good. Jiaxin, how did you draw these shoes?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "Of course I thought of it. Fifth brother, I plan to make one thousand pairs of each style, six styles and six thousand pairs."
She said it with great confidence, but she couldn't guarantee that she would make 100% profit. After all, everything has risks. She planned to keep 10,000 yuan for next year's expenses.
Lu Jiajie said, "Xinxin, it would be a big loss to make 6,000 pairs of such a good shoe. Since we are going to do it, let's do it big and make at least 20,000 pairs."
Lu Jiaxin didn't expect that he was braver than her.
