Chapter 303 Her Dream
Su Jiaojiao plans to take Chen Juan to Qingyuan City to see embroidery machines.
Chen Juan agreed to go back to work at the village garment factory on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. If she delayed any further, she would not have time.
Su Jiaojiao found the phone book and flipped through it, and found Li Nuo. Li Nuo was from Qingyuan, so she should know the specific address of the Qingyuan Sewing Equipment Factory.
Su Jiaojiao called Li Nuo, first wishing her a happy new year, and then asked her about the embroidery machine.
Li Nuo actually knew. She said she had been to the Qingyuan Sewing Equipment Factory, which was not far from the Qingyuan Railway Station, just behind the cathedral. You could find out by asking around.
She also gave Su Jiaojiao a phone number and told her to call it if she couldn't find it.
Su Jiaojiao thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, otherwise I really don't know where to find it."
"You're welcome. We're friends!" Li Nuo laughed a few times on the other end of the phone and added, "I ran into Mr. Lu yesterday and talked about that incident. I learned that you were injured while trying to save me. I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I didn't even go to see you."
"It's the past. Don't take it to heart." Su Jiaojiao's heart beat faster when she heard her mention Mr. Lu. "Let's talk about it again when I get back to the capital!"
"By the way, Jiao Jiao, didn't you say you wanted to rent a shop in Wudaokou? At the end of the year, I saw a shop for rent. The location seemed okay, so I asked around. The owner said she was subletting it because she was going back to her hometown. She said the transfer fee was 5,000 yuan. That's too much. The annual rent is 20,000 yuan, plus the transfer fee."
"Five thousand is five thousand. Sister Nuo, please help me rent it." Su Jiaojiao was tempted. Only she knew how hard she had tried to find a shop last year. She couldn't lose this opportunity just to save five thousand yuan.
Besides, if it weren’t for the transfer fee, she wouldn’t have a share in this shop!
It has been rented out to someone else a long time ago.
"Okay, I'll give her phone number and ask for you." Li Nuo agreed immediately, "If you can rent it, I'll call you."
After a while, Li Nuo called and said, "It's settled. Her shop lease expires next month, so you have to pay her this month's rent."
"Okay, I promised her." Su Jiaojiao was very surprised by this unexpected gain. As long as the store problem in Wudaokou was solved, she wouldn't have to worry about it in the future.
The Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market is close to the new house, and it takes no more than an hour to get there by bus.
At that time, Cai Ting and Ding Linyu can move into her new house without having to rent a special house, and the warehouse and house in the electronics factory’s staff quarters can be returned.
No matter what, the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market is the largest wholesale market in the capital. When doing business, you have to think in the long term and strive to grow bigger and bigger.
That evening, Ding Mei called her again and told Su Jiaojiao about her plan to move to a new factory. "It's a factory owned by a friend of Lao Miao's. His friend runs an auto repair shop and they can't use it anymore, so they asked me to move there. I've checked it out, and it's quite spacious. It's right behind the hospital and not far from your neighborhood."
"Okay, we'll move there when we find a suitable one." Su Jiaojiao thought it was a good thing. Living downstairs was not a long-term solution. If someone reported her again, she would have to move sooner or later.
"Jiao Jiao, no matter where I move, I will never forget your help. From now on, we at Natus will prioritize your orders. We'll make as much as you want." Ding Mei said with emotion, "I should have come to see you, but I've been busy these past few days and haven't been able to. I plan to move there after the 15th."
"Okay, I understand. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future." Su Jiaojiao certainly would not regard herself as a benefactor. From now on, she and Ding Mei would be partners.
People will not drift apart unless they have common interests.
The so-called kindness, friendship, and even love cannot withstand the test of time.
"You are such a busy person." Chen Juan sat next to her and listened to her talking on the phone for nearly half an hour, sometimes in Mandarin and sometimes in her local accent.
"You can only make money if you are busy!" Su Jiaojiao subconsciously flipped through the text messages, and several text messages came out, including those from Lu Jingyou, Wang Hua, and even Qi Heng.
She first opened Qi Heng’s text message and read: Junior Sister, Lu Jingyou gets drunk every day for you. You can’t be so cruel to leave him. He can’t live without you.
Wang Hua’s text message: I heard from Qi Heng that you were sick. Are you feeling better now? I will go to Jiao County in a few days. Let’s contact each other then.
Chen Juan brought two glasses of water and came back to see Su Jiaojiao still looking at her phone. She jokingly said, "Who sent you this text message?"
"A friend." Su Jiaojiao finally clicked on Lu Jingyou's text message:
"I walk down the street and everyone on the street is you."
"Today I went to Kyoto University. Walking on the road you walked, the wind was sweet."
"I've been thinking about you all day."
"I will always wait for you, waiting for you to forgive me."
…
Su Jiaojiao looked at the message again and again, but there was no reply. She simply turned her phone to silent mode and put it in the drawer.
I feel very confused.
Unable to sleep, and distracted from chatting with Chen Juan, Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to sit up and continue writing about the production process. Only work could make her forget all her worries. Chen Juan couldn't sleep either, so she sat next to her and asked, "Is this sweatshirt for me?"
"That's right. Now you're just like Ding Mei and Xue Yan, earning the processing fee directly. You don't have to worry about the fabrics." Su Jiaojiao also explained the process of processing incoming materials to her. "The processing fee for this sweatshirt is five yuan, and the craftsmanship is the same as for the long-sleeved shirt."
"No problem. We can easily produce 100 sweatshirts of this style a day." Chen Juan knew the plan and was very happy to hear it. "For 100 pieces, the processing fee is 500 yuan. After deducting the 200 yuan daily wages for the workers and the wear and tear of the machines, I can save a lot."
The village doesn't want her to pay rent.
She only needs to pay the electricity bill. The mothers go home to eat and sleep, and she doesn't need to pay for food and accommodation, so she basically has no expenses.
"It's not calculated that way. You don't have ironing and needle testing services, so you have to send them to Ding Mei for testing. So you have to pay Ding Mei two yuan, so you actually get three yuan per piece." Su Jiaojiao explained, "You and Xue Yan are both processing points. Ding Mei's Natus is the real processing factory."
"Three dollars isn't a small amount." Chen Juan thought about it and was still very happy. "It's okay for me to work. I'll just wait and see if the goods are sold. As long as I don't sell the goods, any processing fee is fine."
"This year I want to focus on hoodies and jeans." Su Jiaojiao told Chen Juan her idea, "I'll only make leather jackets for one more year at most, then I'll quit next year and never do it again."
Next year is the year 2000, and the era of leather jackets being bestsellers is over.
Jeans and sweatshirts are the eternal kings.
"Leather jackets are so profitable, why would they just stop making them?" Chen Juan was puzzled. "The cost is high, but the selling price is also high!"
A leather jacket costs about three hundred yuan.
Her parents both said that they had made a lot of money in the past two years.
"Leather jackets are almost out of fashion. They won't sell well this year." Su Jiaojiao believes in her own judgment. Even if leather jackets are still popular next year, she will not make them. It is a wise choice to withdraw early.
Chen Juan said "oh" and said nothing else.
In her mind, whatever Su Jiaojiao said was right. If it meant making money, there was no reason to give up. She didn't understand these things.
The two chatted until midnight before falling into a deep sleep.
At night, Su Jiaojiao had a dream.
She dreamed that she and Lu Jingyou were riding horses in Qingyuan Ecological Park. She fell down while riding and Lu Jingyou caught her. His face then became clear in front of her.
She knew she was dreaming, and looked at his face intently, at the familiar eyebrows and his warm smile.
The next moment, he bent down and kissed her. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but a voice in her heart was shouting, "This is a dream, not real. Why don't you dare to face your heart?"
She stood on tiptoe and responded to him enthusiastically.
His kiss was still so domineering, not allowing her to retreat. Even in her dreams, she felt suffocated and couldn't even breathe.
When she woke up, the moonlight was still outside the window. Su Jiaojiao simply covered her head with the quilt. Why did she have such a dream...
