Chapter 218 Preliminary Round



The next day, Mu's mother first went to the clothing factory to discuss the cooperation on the tutu skirt, and also got a lot of short shawls.

The cooperation went smoothly, and the factory manager made significant concessions.

When she returned, Mu's mother brought back thirty tutu skirts, as well as two newly made skirts.

The dress was a gift for Lin Chuchu; it was made to fit Lin Chuchu's figure.

After bringing them back, Lin Chuchu looked at the dresses with a face full of black lines. There were six in total. She actually liked them quite a bit, but she spent most of her time at the base wearing military uniforms and could only wear civilian clothes on holidays.

"Mom, you should put these clothes in the shop to sell, I can't wear them all."

She's all alone, and she can't be in two places at once, so one dress is enough for her.

Mu's mother advised, "These are all for you, so just take them. Wear them during your holidays, or if you have friends, you can give them to them."

These materials are all very good and will sell easily. When these dresses are mass-produced, we will definitely buy some to sell.

Lin Chuchu reluctantly agreed.

Setting the dress aside, Lin Chuchu first helped Mu's mother place all the cheongsams and tutu skirts in a prominent position in the shop.

The outfit is so beautifully coordinated that it's placed in front of the French windows so that passersby can see it.

Not long after it was hung up, people came to inquire about it.

However, the price is not low, so people who come to see it are somewhat hesitant.

Mother Mu let them touch the fabric and explained the craftsmanship and embroidery.

"The whole outfit only costs 168 yuan, which is really not expensive at all."

Even so, some people were reluctant to part with the money and tried to negotiate with Madam Mu, but Madam Mu remained firm and refused to lower the price.

Some people are reluctant to spend the money, but others buy it readily. Now that wages have increased, it's only two or three months' salary, so young people are willing to spend it.

Seeing that Mu's mother was busy, Lin Chuchu didn't disturb her and left the shop with her dress.

She and Captain Qin didn't rush home; instead, they went to find Liu Rong and Liu Ruonan.

It's been a long time since I've seen them. I wonder how they are doing now.

Lin Chuchu first went to the two people's house, but found no one there. Then she went to Liu Rong's house, where the two people happened to be.

When Liu Ruonan saw Lin Chuchu, she jumped up with a look of surprise and delight. "Chuchu, you're back? When did you get back? How many days off did you have?"

Lin Chuchu handed her the things and said with a smile, "I've had a month-long vacation this time, so I can stay at home for quite a while."

As the two were talking, Liu Rong and his mother came up to greet them, and Lin Chuchu quickly greeted them.

Liu Rong is still running a decoration shop, and now it's getting bigger and bigger, with branches even opening in other places.

Liu Rong has gained weight again, now has a beer belly, is broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, and is also balding. You can only tell what he used to look like from his face shape.

Lin Chuchu looked at her and gasped, "Brother Liu Rong, how come you've gained weight again? I remember you were quite thin a few months ago!"

Liu Rong scratched his head and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, we often go out for business dinners, eating meat and drinking alcohol, so we've gradually gained weight."

One thing that wasn't said is that being a little chubby is good; if you're ugly, no woman will want to be around you.

Liu Ruonan pulled Lin Chuchu to sit down, Liu Rong's mother went to bring out fruit, and Liu Rong's father and Liu Rong sat next to them.

It had been a long time since they last met. Ruonan was still as enthusiastic as ever, pulling Lin Chuchu aside to ask how her work was going and how life was at the research base.

The two families visited each other frequently, and both would visit the Mu family during holidays.

In addition, Liu Rong and Mu Chen are childhood friends who went to the countryside together as educated youth, so their relationship is even closer.

At noon, they insisted that Lin Chuchu stay for lunch, and Lin Chuchu couldn't refuse, so she had to stay.

After dinner, Lin Chuchu gave Liu Rong some reasonable suggestions regarding the renovation.

"I heard that the government is going to start allowing the sale of land, and I'm thinking of getting involved, building houses, decorating them, and then selling them."

As Liu Rong saw Lin Chuchu off, he whispered something to her.

Lin Chuchu was taken aback. After searching through her memories of her past life, she slowly shook her head.

"Since you were able to get this information, the higher-ups must have plans in this regard. However, this is not something that can be decided in the short term; it will take at least several years."

"You should start preparing now, such as building your own team and finding some trustworthy managers to train."

"When the time comes, if you're going to sell the land, it will definitely have to go through an auction process. You should focus on building your company's reputation over the next few years. The better your reputation, the better it will be for you."

Liu Rong's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."

The two houses weren't far apart. Lin Chuchu strolled back slowly, with Captain Qin following behind her at a leisurely pace.

At that time in the capital, the main mode of transportation was still the bicycle, and young men and women were much bolder in their behavior.

You can see some newlywed couples riding a bicycle together, with the girl holding the boy's waist and saying something sweet.

There were also some vendors on the street, selling homemade food and toys.

Lin Chuchu would stop and ask the price of anything that looked interesting.

There happened to be a vegetable market nearby, so Lin Chuchu went there to buy groceries.

However, seeing the surging crowd, Lin Chuchu hesitated. There were just too many people, and she was afraid that if she forced her way in, she wouldn't be able to get out.

A few days later, the day of the arts competition finally arrived. Everyone got up early and came to the outside of the competition venue, waiting to enter.

Lin Chuchu came from school with them, and to be honest, she was a little sleepy.

There were many teams participating in the competition, and she even saw some elderly people and teenagers.
