Chapter 276: Continue to look for a stall
The next day, Su Jiaojiao had a full-day class and had no time to go find a stall with Cai Ting.
Cai Ting took the bus to the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market. As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the scene. There were huge crowds of people and it was a thousand times more lively than the Hualian Department Store in Jiao County.
Every store was crowded with people looking at and buying goods, and there was indeed no vacant stall.
She walked back and forth twice, her legs numb from shopping. It was really difficult to get a spot in this clothing wholesale market.
If it weren't for Su Jiaojiao, she couldn't imagine how she would survive in such a big city. She was afraid she wouldn't even be able to find a job.
She felt even more depressed when she thought of the 10,000 pairs of jeans that were still on the way.
Unfortunately, she took the wrong bus on her way back. When she got off, not only was the Yuelai Hotel gone, but even the vast Peking University campus was gone. She had to ask several people before she found the bus to Peking University. As it was getting dark, Cai Ting anxiously waited for the bus. She looked up and saw Wang Hua walking towards her from the opposite street. She waved at him as if she had found a lifeline: "Assistant Wang!"
"Why are you here?" Wang Hua strode over. He was dressed the same as before, a white shirt and black trousers, and holding a briefcase in his hand.
Lu Jingyou often dresses like this, and almost everyone in their group dresses like this.
"I'm lost." Cai Ting pointed at the bus stop sign and said embarrassedly, "Is this bus going to Peking University?"
"Let me take you there!" Wang Hua smiled and pointed to the car not far away. "Otherwise, you won't be back until dark."
"Thank you for your help." Cai Ting did not refuse.
On the way, Wang Hua asked her when she came: "I didn't hear Su Jiaojiao say you were coming to the capital. Are you here to see her?"
"No." Cai Ting then told Wang Hua about Su Jiaojiao's wholesale jeans business. "We've been looking for several days and haven't found a stall."
Wang Hua is an old acquaintance.
He had known about Su Jiaojiao's business affairs for a long time.
"I saw her a few days ago, and she didn't even mention this." Wang Hua didn't know much about clothing wholesale. He had heard of the Wudaokou Wholesale Market, but he wasn't familiar with it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, I'll ask around for you and see if I can help."
"Thank you." Cai Ting didn't expect Wang Hua to help them, but one more friend means one more way!
When she saw Wang Hua, she suddenly thought of Lu Jingyou.
Didn’t Chen Xiaohong say that Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou were in love? Then why didn’t Su Jiaojiao ask Lu Jingyou for help?
Thinking of this, Cai Ting realized that she had done something wrong. Su Jiaojiao did not look for Lu Jingyou, which meant that she did not want to ask him for help.
If I told Wang Hua so rashly, wouldn’t it be the same as telling Lu Jingyou?
What if Su Jiaojiao blames me again?
When Cai Ting returned to the Yuelai Hotel, Su Jiaojiao had been waiting for her at the door for a long time. Seeing her come back, she was relieved: "Are you lost?"
"I got on the wrong bus, and Wang Hua took me back." Cai Ting saw that Su Jiaojiao was very guilty, so she confessed the truth, "I told Wang Hua about our search for a stall. I didn't think too much about it at the time."
"That's it." Su Jiaojiao didn't blame Cai Ting for such a small matter. "I asked my roommates about it. Besides the well-known clothing wholesale markets nearby, there are several small wholesale markets with a lot of people. We can try our luck there and see if we can rent a shop."
She didn't mean to hide it from Wang Hua or Lu Jingyou.
Instead, she was used to solving problems on her own instead of asking others for help. She called Li Nuo because Li Nuo's sister was in a similar industry to hers.
Wang Hua and his team are from a real estate company and have nothing to do with these things.
Besides, I will definitely encounter other difficulties in the future, and I can’t always ask others for help when something happens.
"Then let's go to another wholesale market tomorrow." Cai Ting's eyes lit up, and Su Jiaojiao smiled, "Let's go eat first."
Su Jiaojiao's roommate Du Bingqian said that there is a clothing market called Chengguangyuan near her home. Chengguangyuan is located in the old city and has been there for many years. Most of the clothes there are exported and then sold domestically. The quality is good and the price is not expensive.
Locals like to go there.
Du Bingqian said that in addition to clothing, there are many food stalls in Chengguang Garden. When she was in high school, she often went to Chengguang Garden with her classmates to eat delicious food. There is also a movie theater nearby, and there are more people on weekends.
Du Bingqian is a tall beauty. She doesn't talk much on weekdays, but if you ask her for help with something, she is very enthusiastic and specially wrote down the specific bus route for Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting reversed the car twice and were jolted for two hours before they found Orange Light Garden.
Chengguang Garden is next to a department store, just on the west side of the department store. Chengguang Garden is similar to the Jinxi Wholesale Market that Su Jiaojiao went to, and is semi-closed.
The entire market is covered with a blue translucent ceiling.
As soon as they got off the car, they saw a stall selling clothes. Maybe it was noon, so there weren't many people. They asked about the price, which was not too expensive and the quality was good.
Further in, there are various food stalls. The stalls are all very clean, and the food vendors are all wearing white work clothes. There are barbecue stalls, steamed bun stalls, wonton shops, and there are also several old stores with many people queuing at the door.
Su Jiaojiao took Cai Ting to a Wangji Qianbing shop recommended by Du Bingqian. They had all kinds of cakes, including hand-pulled cakes, five-spice cakes, and baked cakes, as well as various cold dishes.
The two of them ordered a pound of pancakes, one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and two small cold dishes, which cost them twelve yuan.
The Orange Light Garden market has a characteristic, that is, it looks small, but it is actually very deep. The front and back ends of the market are between two main roads. After the food area, there are more than a dozen billiard tables, and many young people play billiards there.
Opposite the market is a residential area for the family members of a power plant. Further away is Liuhu Park. Next to Liuhu Park are some ancient houses that look very old.
Su Jiaojiao walked around the area, silently searching for this place in her memory, but she didn't remember having been there before. At this time in her previous life, she was still working in a factory and didn't really know much about the imperial capital in 1998.
The area around Chengguang Garden is a typical residential area. There are no factories and only one primary school. The only advantage is the convenient transportation. Is it possible to do wholesale here?
Where does she keep all that stuff?
Su Jiaojiao went to the market management office to ask about the stall. Since she was already there, she had to at least understand the situation here.
The person in charge of the market management office was a chatty old man. When he learned that Su Jiaojiao was selling jeans wholesale, he waved his hand and said, "Most of the people selling clothes in this market are retail. If you want to go wholesale, go to the power plant's family compound. The family compound moved away two years ago, and now it's all people from other places doing business there."
The two went to the power plant staff quarters across the street.
