Chapter 296 Two Places of Idleness
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the leather jackets in Hualian Department Store have been sold out. Ding Mei and her colleagues took a day off yesterday because they had run out of leather and there was no need to order new leather before the New Year.
Chen Guilan has been very happy these two days. Leather jackets are selling well, and hoodies are selling even better than leather jackets. Xue Yan and her colleagues are unable to supply them.
Fortunately, Chen Juan recruited seven or eight mothers in the village clothing factory. During the slack season, they worked day and night and suddenly had a stock of three to four thousand pieces.
These days, Chen Guilan is selling long-sleeved shirts in Hualian Department Store. Long-sleeved shirts can be used as a base layer, so the shipment volume of this type of long-sleeved shirt is also good.
Chen Guilan was also thinking of waiting for Su Jiaojiao to come back and discuss with her to let Chen Juan's clothing factory also make sweatshirts. Although long-sleeved shirts are also easy to sell, the profit is not as good as sweatshirts.
After a long time, she has more or less figured it out. When the fabric is the same, if the style is more complicated, the price will be higher.
The styles are the same but the fabrics are different. Naturally, the one with better fabric will sell at a higher price, but in terms of sales, it will still not be as popular as the one with cheaper price.
Because these three clothing items are all from Su Jiaojiao's own brand, the fabrics she uses are the most cost-effective. The prices are slightly higher than similar clothing items, but over time, this has not affected sales.
Especially hoodies, several customers are interested in ordering their spring and autumn hoodies. Among all seasonal clothing, spring and autumn styles are the best-selling. If they cannot be sold out in spring, they can continue to sell in autumn without worrying about inventory backlog.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Guilan packed up and went home excitedly. As soon as her daughter came back, she didn't want to stay outside for another minute.
The house was quiet. Su Jiaojiao was silent in the bedroom. Chen Guilan knocked on the door and walked in. Su Jiaojiao was still asleep in bed, her face flushed unnaturally. She reached out and touched her daughter's forehead. It was so hot, so she pushed her hurriedly: "Jingjiao, Jiaojiao..."
Su Jiaojiao opened her eyes drowsily and looked at Chen Guilan: "Mom, I want to sleep."
"You have a fever." Chen Guilan helped her sit up. "Let's go to the hospital. We have to get rid of the fever quickly."
He was fine when he came back, why did he suddenly have a fever?
The mother was feeling panicked.
"I'm fine, no need to go to the hospital." Su Jiaojiao felt weak all over, as if she had collapsed all of a sudden. "I'll just take some medicine."
"I'm going to buy some medicine." Chen Guilan then hurried out. On the way, she ran into Chen Mei and Chen Ju, who greeted her, "Auntie, where are you going?"
"Jiaojiao has a cold, buy her some medicine." Chen Guilan didn't bother to greet her two nieces and quickly went to the pharmacy downstairs in the community.
"The other college students came back a long time ago, why did Jiaojiao come back just now?" Chen Mei had met Chen Guilan yesterday, and Chen Guilan said that Su Jiaojiao had not come back yet.
"I heard that Jiaojiao called Cai Ting to the capital and also sold clothes." Chen Ju knew Chen Xiaohong and Cai Ting, and knew that they had a good relationship with Su Jiaojiao.
"You can do business while in college?" Chen Mei was a little skeptical. "Did Jiaojiao really get into Peking University?"
This can’t be a lie, right?
Peking University is a famous university. Can Su Jiaojiao get in?
"Of course it's true. She even sold clothes when she was in high school!" Chen Ju was convinced. "Sister, we have to trust Auntie and Jiao Jiao. They won't lie."
"Let's go, we'll come back to see her in two days." Chen Mei thought so too. There were also people from Jiao County who were admitted to Peking University. She would find out by asking around.
After taking the medicine, Su Jiaojiao broke out in a sweat, didn't eat, and fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Guilan stayed with her every step of the way, touching her forehead from time to time. The mother even packed her bag, ready to take her daughter to the hospital at any time.
…
When they heard about the team building in the evening, the Qingyuan Project Department was in an uproar.
They didn't expect that the head office attached so much importance to them. President Lu took time out of his busy schedule to come and participate in this event. He held a meeting to praise all the members of their project team and took photos with them.
Although it was rushed, Qi Heng, as the project leader, still arranged a few small programs for everyone to perform freely, such as singing, dancing, etc.
He is a lover of literature and art. He performed two songs and received constant applause from the audience, which made Qi Heng feel like he was a male god.
Qi Heng knew that Lu Jingyou sang very well, so he wanted to encourage Lu Jingyou to show off his singing skills. Lu Jingyou ignored him and just drank silently. Wang Hua did not dare to persuade him and just watched him drink one glass after another.
"What's going on?" Qi Heng then realized that something was wrong. Lu Jingyou never drank in such occasions. Even if he did, he would only take a few sips symbolically and would never get drunk.
But the way he looked today, it was obvious that he wanted to get himself drunk.
"Mr. Lu is in a bad mood..." Wang Hua had to tell the truth, "I think we should go back first!"
"What happened?" Qi Heng suddenly remembered what happened at the station today, and immediately thought of something, "Is it related to Su Jiaojiao?"
Besides her, who else made Lu Jingyou in a bad mood?
He was actually controlled by a little girl. I am speechless!
"I guess so!" Wang Hua nodded.
"What do you mean by considered?" Qi Heng rolled his eyes at him. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Wang Hua didn't mention the land, but told Qi Heng everything about Lin Manli going to Beijing University to look for Su Jiaojiao. Qi Heng was stunned and said, "Damn, Lu Jingyou is really in a difficult position being caught between them."
As he spoke, he walked over and snatched the wine glass from Lu Jingyou's hand. "It's not a big deal. It's like the sky is falling. Women, you just need to coax them more. You're making it like the end of the world. Let's go, I'll help you find Su Jiaojiao."
Wang Hua also hurried over and helped Lu Jingyou to the car with Qi Heng. Qi Heng knew Lu Jingyou's alcohol tolerance and said, "We should send him to the hospital to sober up. Otherwise, he will have a very uncomfortable night."
"Okay." Wang Hua had never encountered such a situation before and was also panicked. He immediately started the car and went to the hospital.
After settling Lu Jingyou down, Qi Heng rushed back to the hotel and told everyone with a smile that Mr. Lu couldn't drink much and had drunk too much, so he would go back first and let everyone continue to have fun.
No one cared.
Qi Heng drove back to the hospital, asked Wang Hua for Su Jiaojiao's phone number, and called her, but no one answered for a long time.
He looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. He thought Su Jiaojiao should be asleep. Just as he was about to hang up, the call was connected. "Hello?"
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Su Jiaojiao's friend. I have something to talk to her about." Qi Heng recognized that it was not Su Jiaojiao's voice, so Chen Guilan hurriedly said, "Jiaojiao is sick and has fallen asleep. What do you want to talk to her about?"
"What's wrong with her?" Qi Heng asked hurriedly.
"She had a fever when she got home. I just gave her some medicine and she's asleep now." Chen Guilan continued, "How about I ask her to call you tomorrow?"
"No need. It's the same if I find someone else." Qi Heng said a few polite words and hung up the phone. Of these two people, one had a fever at home, and the other was in the hospital to sober up...
When Wang Hua heard that Su Jiaojiao was ill, he said to Qi Heng, "Su Jiaojiao is also very sad right now. Let's not disturb her. Let them calm down. Maybe they will reconcile after some time."
"That's right." Qi Heng didn't know what to do for a moment. "Let's talk about it later. Su Jiaojiao will have to go back to Peking University sooner or later anyway. She can't run away."
