Chapter 262 Intention
The imperial capital was an even more distant place for Chen Guisheng and Chen Guichang.
They even thought that the imperial capital only appeared on TV, at least the people around them had never been to the imperial capital.
Now that their niece is going to the capital to attend university, they feel that it is not only far away, but also unbelievable.
There are good universities in the province, so why does Su Jiaojiao go to such a far place to go to college?
Since Chen Guilan was reluctant, why didn't she stop it?
Chen Guisheng didn't understand these things and didn't say anything. Chen Guichang asked Chen Guilan, "Why did Jiaojiao apply to the Imperial Capital?"
"She applied on her own. I don't understand." Chen Guilan, who knew nothing about the application process, wiped away her tears and said, "I don't even know when she applied. I actually wish she could stay closer to home."
My daughter always has her own ideas and will not change them easily once she has made a decision.
It's no use even if she knows.
The admission letter arrived yesterday. Su Jiaojiao took a look at it and locked it in the drawer. She only knew that her daughter was admitted to the finance major at Peking University, and she didn't know anything else.
"Now that it's decided, you don't have to be sad." Chen Guisheng felt that being far away from home was not a big deal. "Your Jiaojiao has been to the provincial capital and to the northwest. You don't have to worry about her. She is much more promising than us."
"That's right." Chen Guichang nodded. "Even if you go to university in the province, you still come back twice a year. She went to the capital and came back during summer and winter vacations. Same thing."
The two brothers rarely had the patience to persuade Chen Guilan to be more open-minded. It was a good thing for their daughter to apply to a university in the capital. What was the big deal if it was far away? She would come back after completing four years of university study.
Chen Guilan nodded and said nothing more.
She actually hoped that her daughter would come back, but she was afraid that she would not come back. However, she could not say these words to her two brothers and could only keep them in her heart.
As the three were talking, Qin Shuang called and asked Su Jiaojiao if she had received the admission letter. Chen Guilan said she had, and it was an admission letter from Peking University.
Qin Shuang sounded very happy and said that they were too low-key and did not even call her to tell her the good news. Without waiting for Chen Guilan to say anything, Qin Shuang said that she would go to Jiaoxian to see them in the afternoon.
Chen Guilan agreed and waited for them to come.
When Chen Guisheng and Chen Guichang heard that she had guests coming, they immediately stood up and said goodbye. Chen Guilan originally wanted to invite them to have lunch, but they refused, saying that they were family and there was no need to be so polite.
Su Jiaojiao has been very busy these two days. She called Yu Baolai and asked him to send another batch of sweatshirt fabrics. Yu Baolai said that he would ship it to her in the afternoon and it would arrive in about two or three days.
The number of finished products produced by Xue Yan every day is increasing. Ding Mei and his team are also working very hard to make money. They can almost complete the inventory of Xue Yan by ironing and testing needles every day.
All the pressure was on Su Jiaojiao.
There was no place to store too much inventory, and Chen Xiaohong's store couldn't sell much. Su Jiaojiao forced a thousand sweatshirts into her store, and Chen Xiaohong cried out, saying it would take her half a year to sell them all.
"If you can't sell all the goods, go to the big market. You can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days." Su Jiaojiao was very dissatisfied with the salesperson Chen Xiaohong, who was leisurely all day long and didn't sell the goods properly.
Chen Juan makes long-sleeved shirts at home while farming. In her free time, she goes to the market to sell her long-sleeved shirts. She also said that after the autumn harvest, she will find a few people to work in her house and set up a clothing processing point.
Su Jiaojiao was very supportive of her idea and even took her to Xue Yan's clothing processing site to learn some experience.
Chen Xiaohong's life is too comfortable and she has no motivation to make money.
"You've already said that I'm not popular here. I'm just trying to maintain the shop. If I can sell a dozen or so pieces of clothing a day, I'm doing great." Chen Xiaohong didn't understand why Su Jiaojiao was working so hard, and said confidently, "If I could keep up with you, I wouldn't be Chen Xiaohong."
Su Jiaojiao was helpless and had no idea what to do with her.
It is not enough for Chen Guilan to look after this place alone, so Su Jiaojiao and Ding Mei asked Cai Ting to come over and let Cai Ting be responsible for all matters in Jiao County.
Cai Ting has been working for Ding Mei for more than a year and is familiar with the entire clothing production and processing technology. She is also familiar with Xue Yan's people. She is an employee who came from Ding Mei and is an old classmate of Chen Xiaohong. Su Jiaojiao believes in Cai Ting's ability and that she can definitely do this job.
These days, she took Cai Ting to the market, and even went door-to-door to sell and deliver goods to clothing stores in surrounding towns. In that era, there was no online sales, and physical stores were thriving. As long as both parties reached trust, a deal could be made.
For this purpose, Su Jiaojiao also printed business cards for Cai Ting and asked interested retailers to go to Hualian Shopping Mall to find Cai Ting to purchase goods. The wholesale price was the same as in Mocheng.
Retailers all know the goods. With such fabrics and workmanship and such prices, what is there to worry about? As long as it sells well, they will definitely go to Hualian Shopping Mall to find Cai Ting to pick up the goods.
The two of them ran around the surrounding suburbs for two days and sold all the fifty samples they brought with them. It was already dark when they returned.
Su Jiaojiao returned home covered in dust and dirt, and saw Qin Shuang and Qin Xiuming sitting on the sofa chatting with Chen Guilan. Chen Guilan had prepared dinner and was waiting for Su Jiaojiao to come back for dinner.
"Jiao Jiao, I called you but couldn't get through. Didn't you bring your cell phone?" Qin Shuang asked her. Qin Shuang's tone was very natural and her smile was still kind, as if they were still the same as before.
"I forgot to bring it." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect Qin Shuang and Qin Xiuming to come. She smiled at them and said, "You guys chat while I change my clothes."
"Then I'll serve the food right away." Chen Guilan was also getting impatient. Qin Xiuming glanced at Su Jiaojiao and said gently, "Don't worry, take your time."
Su Jiaojiao was not in a hurry. She took a shower, changed her clothes, and dried her hair before sitting down next to Chen Guilan. Chen Guilan said, "Your Aunt Qin heard that you were admitted to Peking University, so she came here specially to congratulate you."
"Thank you, Aunt Qin." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
"I'm really happy that Jiaojiao got into Peking University." Qin Shuang said, taking out a red envelope from her bag. "This is a little gift from me. I hope everything goes well for you."
"Thank you, Aunt Qin." Su Jiaojiao accepted the red envelope with a bright smile. The red envelope was very thick, about one thousand yuan.
"Jingjiao, this is a gift for you." Qin Xiuming took out a beautifully wrapped notebook from his bag. Su Jingjiao took it and said, "Thank you..."
Chen Guilan cooked a lot of dishes and enthusiastically invited Qin Shuang and Qin Xiuming to eat. The mother and son said that the dishes cooked by Chen Guilan were delicious.
Su Jiaojiao didn't have much of an appetite, but she stayed with them without putting down her chopsticks.
After dinner, Su Jiaojiao got up and made tea.
The four of them sat down to chat again. Qin Xiuming kept mentioning Lu Jingyou, intentionally or unintentionally: "Originally, my eldest brother and I agreed to go to Guangzhou together in a few days, but he had something urgent to do and left the day before yesterday. It was a midnight flight. It was said that Yan Xuewei also went to Guangzhou."
"They're busy with work, not going on a date." Qin Shuang glanced at Su Jiaojiao and smiled, "Everyone in their family is a workaholic. They definitely wouldn't travel that far for a date."
Su Jiaojiao smiled but said nothing.
