Chapter 257 Treat (Two chapters in one)
Su Jiaojiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward to help Liu Ying up, and said to Zhang Lan's brother Zhang Qi, "The most important thing now is to save people. What's the point of beating him to death?"
"Su Jiaojiao?" After all, they were from the same village, so Zhang Qi knew her and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The two families are not far from each other.
Although we don't have much contact, we still see each other often.
"My cousin is sick, and I came to see her and happened to run into you." Su Jiaojiao took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Liu Ying, saying calmly, "I think you should reach an agreement now and do your best to help the patient. As for other matters, we can talk about it later."
"Of course! If Liu Yuan doesn't save my sister, I'll set their house on fire." Zhang Qi calmed down considerably in front of his fellow villagers. He grabbed Liu Yuan and said angrily, "You'd better pray that my sister is okay, or you'll have a rough life. I'll keep this account for you, and we'll settle it later."
"That's right, we'll settle this account later." Liu Yuan's family members behind him said in unison.
"I'm going back first. If you have anything, come find me at Century Garden. I live in the east unit on the first floor of Building 1." Su Jiaojiao whispered to Liu Ying, "Sister-in-law has been in there for so long. I think she's out of danger. You don't have to worry too much."
"I understand." Liu Ying's emotions finally stabilized.
When she returned home, Chen Guilan asked her who she saw in the hospital. Su Jiaojiao said it was a junior high school classmate. In front of Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e, she did not tell them that it was about Zhang Lan drinking pesticides.
Perhaps she was too tired after running around all day, so she fell asleep after just a few words to Chen Juan. Her dreams were chaotic, and she kept waking up and falling asleep, so she didn't sleep well all night.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.
When Chen Guilan opened the door and saw Liu Ying, she asked her in surprise what was the matter so early.
Liu Ying stammered and said she was looking for Su Jiaojiao. Chen Guilan called Su Jiaojiao suspiciously. Su Jiaojiao asked Liu Ying to come in and sit down, but Liu Ying refused and said she was there to borrow money.
"Come in and sit down. I'll get it for you." Su Jiaojiao expressed her understanding. She rummaged through her bag and took out a stack of money and gave it to Liu Ying. "Here's two thousand yuan. Take it for now. We'll tell you if it's not enough."
She planned to use this money to treat Lu Jingyou to a meal.
It wasn't used yesterday either.
"That's enough. We won't need that much." Liu Ying didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to be so generous. She waved her hand and said, "One thousand yuan is enough. The hospital requires an eight hundred yuan deposit."
"Take it and use it!" Su Jiaojiao stuffed it into her hand, "I don't need this money."
She will never forget the days when they squeezed into the garage together with Liu Ying, and when her batch of down jackets were not selling well in the snack street, it was Liu Ying who helped her find a storefront for the Wujiaohua Company, which allowed her to save that money.
Although they haven't been in contact for some time, she will never forget these little bits of affection.
Help in emergencies but not in poverty. Even if Liu Ying couldn't pay back the two thousand yuan, she wouldn't ask for it.
Liu Ying did not refuse and hurried away with the money.
In the morning, Chen Guisheng sent Xu Yue'e, Chen Guilan and Xiao Suisui to the hospital for injections, and took Chen Juan back to the village to work in the fields. It was the busy farming season and there was no time to waste.
Su Jiaojiao first went to Xue Yan to check out the production of the hoodies. Xue Yan is also an old fashion expert. She said that the ready-made cuffs, hems and collars are popular on the market now. The process is simpler. The original fabric still needs to be cut and ironed, which seems to save costs, but it actually takes more time.
Su Jiaojiao thought what she said made sense and said that next time she would design a batch of the styles she mentioned. In fact, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Using the original fabric to make the cuffs, hem and neckline looks more advanced.
But what Xue Yan said was not wrong.
Most of the sweatshirts on the market have threaded collars, cuffs and hems. She was just giving her opinion from her perspective.
Su Jiaojiao can accommodate other people's opinions, but will not be influenced by others. The final decision is still in her hands.
The mothers led by Xue Yan gradually became familiar with the production process of this batch of hoodies. The speed gradually increased and the quality was also acceptable. It mainly used the five-thread lock-edge process, which did not require much technical content.
The only technically demanding six-millimeter visible stitching throughout the body is also made by measuring the length on the presser foot with a special tool and pressing it directly. As long as you know how to operate a sewing machine, it will basically not be pressed off.
The rest is a matter of attitude.
Overall, this group of people are indeed not as good as Ding Mei and others, but they are not too bad either. When making bulk clothing, you cannot just focus on quality. It is fine as long as the quality is roughly the same. Quantity is the most important thing.
After leaving Xue Yan's place, Su Jiaojiao went to Chen Xiaohong's shop again.
Chen Xiaohong is currently in the trial operation period and has not officially opened the business, but she works for three days and rests for two days, which makes Su Jiaojiao speechless.
Su Jiaojiao stayed at Xue Yan's place for two hours. When she went to Chen Xiaohong's shop, it was already ten in the morning. Chen Xiaohong had just opened the door. She even said confidently, "Selling clothes is different from selling vegetables. Clothes won't get damaged. Why should I come so early?"
"Everyone has to be on time to go to work. Can you be more dedicated when running a shop?" Su Jiaojiao wondered if Chen Xiaohong had made the wrong career change. When she was selling vegetables, she was very active. How come she became so lazy after changing to selling clothes?
"Oh, my dear President Su, do you know that no one comes shopping before 10 a.m.?" Chen Xiaohong found Su Jiaojiao unbelievable. "You asked me to come here so early in the morning to open the store, and there's not a single person shopping. I have to wait anxiously until after 10 a.m. to sell a few pieces of clothing. What's the point?"
"Even if people don't start shopping until 10 o'clock, you should still be here an hour or two earlier than the customers, right?" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to ramble on with her, so she asked about the sales of her sweatshirts. Chen Xiaohong yawned and said, "You can sell five or six sweatshirts a day, and two or three of the others. That's about the same income as selling vegetables."
It seems that we can no longer rely on Chen Xiaohong.
Selling just a few pieces every day won’t solve the problem at all.
Just rely on yourself!
Su Jiaojiao went to Hualian Shopping Mall and contacted two wholesalers, and placed the sweatshirts with them for wholesale.
She asked Liu Wenjie about the wholesale price of sweatshirts in Mocheng. Liu Wenjie said that the wholesale price of sweatshirts is twelve yuan per piece, and the retail price is twenty-five to thirty yuan.
Su Jiaojiao wholesaled the sweatshirts to them at the same price. Both wholesalers knew Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao, and felt that the quality and price of this batch of sweatshirts were similar to those in Mocheng, so they were willing to purchase from her.
The retail price of each sweatshirt in Hualian Department Store is 30 yuan. Sometimes they also sell it at the big market, selling it for 25 yuan each.
Considering that she will not be in Jiao County in the second half of this year, Chen Guilan is too busy selling leather jackets and sweatshirts.
After careful consideration, Su Jiaojiao decided to hand over this batch of sweatshirts to Ding Mei and let Ding Mei be responsible for the shipment, but she couldn't use Ding Mei for nothing, so she discussed with Ding Mei and gave her 1% of the profit.
Ding Mei was very happy to do so, and she patted her chest to reassure Su Jiaojiao: "I promise to remember the account clearly. You just need to go to school without worry, and nothing will go wrong."
When Liu Ming learned of Su Jiaojiao's college entrance exam results, he was so surprised he was speechless for a long time. Then he started to make a fuss, asking Su Jiaojiao to treat him: "I didn't expect our Jiaojiao to get such a high score. Tell me, are you the provincial champion?"
Generally, only those who have college entrance examination candidates in their family will pay attention to the college entrance examination results.
Liu Ming's cousin happened to take the college entrance examination this year. He said that he scored more than 500 points. The whole family was very happy and clamored to treat us to a meal at his hometown.
Su Jiaojiao's college entrance examination score exceeded his cousin's by more than 100 points. It was really amazing. He had to treat her to a meal.
"If I were the provincial top scorer, the TV station would have interviewed me long ago. I actually hope I am." Su Jiaojiao smiled and agreed to treat them to a meal. "Our teacher said that this year's results at No. 1 Middle School are the best in recent years. More than 30 students scored over 650 points. I'm probably in the top 10 in my grade!"
"That's impressive too. You have to treat us to dinner at the China Travel Service." Liu Ming was surprised that Su Jiaojiao had hidden it so well. It had been several days since the results came out, and she hadn't revealed a single word. If he hadn't asked, he wouldn't have known that Su Jiaojiao was a top student.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a trip to the International Travel Agency." Su Jiaojiao agreed immediately and decided, "This weekend night, let's go to the International Travel Agency and invite Xue Yan and the others to have some fun together."
Even if it wasn't to celebrate the college entrance examination results, she still had to invite everyone together to strengthen their relationships.
Just consider it a benefit.
"Mr. Su is so awesome!" Ding Mei and the others cheered.
Xiao Suisui was discharged from the hospital and went home after staying there for three days. When Su Jiaojiao went to the hospital to pick them up, she also went to see Zhang Lan.
Although Zhang Lan was rescued in time and finally out of danger, she still suffered from sequelae. The doctor said that she had damaged the nerves in her legs and might never be able to stand up again in her life.
The family couldn't accept this fact and cried loudly in the ward.
Liu Yuan was extremely sad. He kept blaming himself and banging his head against the wall. He asked Zhang Lan to forgive him and said that no matter what she became, he would always take care of her and begged her to give him a chance to atone for his sins.
Zhang Lan's eyes were dull and she said nothing. Her once beautiful face was pale and thin, no longer as radiant as before. She recognized Su Jiaojiao and seemed to recall the days when she was crazy about love. The corners of her mouth twitched, "Thank you for your help."
Ten years ago, when Zhang Lan handed the letter to Liu Yuan to Su Jiaojiao, she also said this: Thank you for your help.
"Sister Lan, you will get better soon." Su Jiaojiao didn't know how to comfort a woman who had lost all hope. To someone who had just returned from the gates of hell, all words were so pale and powerless.
Perhaps in order to give Zhang Lan the courage to live, Liu Ying took her little niece from home. The little daughter didn't know what was going on and opened her arms to find her mother.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't bear it any longer and hurried out of the ward. It was only a ten-minute walk from the hospital to Century Garden, but she couldn't stop crying. She didn't know why she was so sad.
Perhaps, she is a witness to the relationship between Zhang Lan and Liu Yuan, and she hopes to see a happy ending.
Let her also feel the beauty of love, instead of the brokenness it is now.
Ding Mei and Xue Yan were having dinner at Guolv Hotel for the first time. They were cautious but curious. With someone like Liu Ming around, the atmosphere would never be dull.
Even Su Jiaojiao was forced to drink a glass of wine by him. Fortunately, Su Jiaojiao was well prepared and brought some hangover soup, so she didn't get drunk and get embarrassed.
She was used to dealing with all kinds of people, so she would not blame Liu Ming and let him make a fuss.
Although Liu Ming is smooth-talking, he works very hard and is loyal, which is exactly what Su Jiaojiao values.
Ding Mei and Xue Yan are old after all, and they speak and act very calmly. Even if they drink too much, they will at most scold men and will not really act crazy.
Yu Ying and Chang Yuqin are both old acquaintances of Su Jiaojiao. Both of them actively talked to the mothers on Xue Yan's side about the production process of this batch of sweatshirts. The main reason was that there was nothing else to talk about, so it was better to talk about things they were familiar with.
At worst, we can talk about the weather.
The food at Guolv is excellent and tastes great.
Plus, Su Jiaojiao wasn’t a stingy person, so she ordered a table full of dishes, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
The atmosphere is quite lively.
Su Jiaojiao concluded: "As long as the market response to leather jackets and hoodies is good and they can be sold without stockpiling, we can have a long-term partnership. I hope everyone will keep up the good work, ensure quality, and increase production."
Ding Mei and Xue Yan are two independent individuals. They take her orders and she pays the processing fee. It is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
They all have their own ideas about what to do.
If her goods don't sell well due to the style or fabric, it's not their fault, but if the goods are delayed due to quality or delivery time, then their cooperation will end.
Everyone expressed it.
I will definitely work hard and strive to make these two leather sweatshirts for a long time.
The meal lasted until around nine o'clock before everyone left.
Su Jiaojiao paid the bill and slowly walked back with Cai Ting, pushing their bicycles. She had a lot of things to tell Cai Ting.
Qi Heng was also having dinner at the China Travel Service. When he saw a group of people leaving the hall, he didn't pay much attention at first.
It wasn't until he saw Su Jiaojiao standing at the front desk checking out that he became interested. After not seeing her for many days, the girl looked even prettier. She wore a loose white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, looking casual and fashionable. She had a high ponytail and already had the temperament of a college girl.
He originally wanted to go up and say hello to her, but a phone call came in. When he answered the phone, Su Jiaojiao was gone.
When Qi Heng returned to the project department, Lu Jingyou had just returned. He told Lu Jingyou about Su Jiaojiao's dinner at the China International Travel Service. "Mr. Lu, did you know that Su Jiaojiao was treating us at the China International Travel Service today?"
"I don't know." Lu Jingyou made himself some tea and smiled, "Because she already invited me alone."
"Also in Guolv?" Qi Heng looked gossipy.
"No, it's over at the ecological park." Lu Jingyou was in a good mood as he recalled what happened that day. "We also rode horses and had a lot of fun."
"Yes, your plot finally succeeded." Qi Heng was a very good rider. He could imagine the scene and said, stroking his chin, "You took advantage of others by teaching them how to ride. Let me tell you, your acting is too poor."
Lu Jingyou smiled but said nothing.
"That's not right!" Qi Heng realized belatedly, "You need a membership card to ride a horse. When did you become a member?"
"I didn't do it. I used your card." Lu Jingyou said calmly, "You have an annual card anyway, so it's a waste if you don't use it."
"What? You're dating a little girl and you're asking me to pay?" Qi Heng couldn't believe his ears. "You evil capitalist, you're too shameless. If Su Jiaojiao knew you were so stingy, she would definitely not agree to be with you."
"She knows."
Qi Heng: “…”
They really are a couple!
