Chapter 366: Good things come to those who wait
Only then did Su Jiaojiao see that she had several missed calls, one from Xue Yuzhen and two unfamiliar phone numbers, which should be from the driver.
All sleepiness disappeared instantly. She sat up from the bed and said to Cai Ting, "I understand. You can do whatever you need to do. I'll contact him."
Su Jiaojiao first called Xue Yuzhen and asked her what happened.
Xue Yuzhen said that the delivery truck did break down on the road, and there was nothing else to it. The driver asked them to pick up the goods because he was worried about the goods on the truck. Otherwise, they would have to wait until the truck was repaired before delivering them.
Xue Yuzhen kept apologizing, saying that she had not expected such a thing to happen.
After Su Jiaojiao inquired about the driver's current location, she said to Xue Yuzhen indifferently, "Director Xue, this kind of thing can't be called an accident. It's completely expected. If Master Yan had delivered the goods, such a mistake wouldn't have happened. I hope this is the first and last time."
"Ms. Su, I really didn't expect..."
"I will go to pick up the goods myself. You ask him to wait here and prepare for the handover!" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to argue with her about these meaningless apologies, which would not solve any problems at all.
Everyone is trying to make money, and no one is trying to cause trouble for anyone else.
If something like this happened to Master Yan, she could completely understand it, and she felt that this incident could have been avoided if a different driver had been used.
But she was going to the outskirts of Beijing now, and it would be dark by the time she got there.
She thought of Fang Zeyang. Fang Zeyang had that kind of big truck in his factory. As long as he had time, he should be able to help.
With a try-it attitude, Su Jiaojiao called Fang Zeyang and told him the general situation and the driver's location. Fang Zeyang agreed readily: "Don't worry, I'll go over and hand over your goods and deliver them to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang. Find a few more people to help, and I'll cover all the expenses." Su Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll wait for you at Wudaokou tomorrow."
Fang Zeyang was very efficient. Two hours later, he called Su Jiaojiao and told her that he had received her truckload of goods, counted the quantity, made the handover, and confirmed that everything was correct. He would definitely deliver it to her tomorrow.
Su Jiaojiao thanked her again.
Fang Zeyang is a very good person. He can help at critical moments. Such a person is worth associating with.
If Fang Zeyang wasn't there, she would have to go by herself or ask Lu Jingyou for help.
Although Lu Jingyou was not in the imperial capital, he could still help her find a car. However, instead of asking him for help, it would be better for her to do it herself. The main reason was that those people were laymen and she was worried about them.
Fang Zeyang is different. He is in the fabric business and is in the same line of work as her. He knows how to do it and she can rest assured in leaving it to him.
The next day at noon, when Su Jiaojiao arrived at Wudaokou, Cai Ting, Ding Linyu and others had already received the goods and said that Fang Zeyang's driver had just left.
"I gave him 500 yuan as you asked, but he refused, saying he was just a deliveryman and didn't care about these things," Ding Linyu told Su Jiaojiao. "He said he had to go somewhere else to load some goods, and then he left in a hurry."
"When I have time, I will go find Fang Zeyang and thank him in person." Su Jiaojiao was overwhelmed with emotions when she saw her hard-earned batch of jeans. She hoped that good things would come to her over time and that this batch of goods would be delivered more smoothly.
Jeans are different from baseball jackets. Jeans are everywhere on the streets and the prices are relatively transparent. For example, the jeans made of relatively better fabric like Su Jiaojiao have a shipping price of 19 yuan in Wudaokou and a retail price of 29.
The remaining low-priced jeans from last year have been almost sold out, and Su Jiaojiao asked Ding Linyu and the others to leave them in the store for comparison.
If customers say their jeans are expensive, let them look at this pair of cheap jeans. Without comparison, there is no persuasiveness. You can tell whether it is good or bad at a glance.
After Cai Ting arrived, the two shops opened simultaneously, and they quickly became familiar with the rhythm. They could even take turns resting during lunchtime when the shop wasn't busy. Su Jiaojiao would come over to assist them during the day when she was free, and in the evenings when she didn't have classes, she would learn tea art.
Although life is busy, as long as you keep your mind calm, you can become more relaxed.
The tea art teacher is a classical beauty wearing Hanfu. Her favorite saying is that life is like tea, with ups and downs, and there will always be a moment when it settles down, but the ups and downs are life, and also the essence of tea.
Su Jiaojiao's original intention of learning tea art was to have a common topic with Pei Lan, but after a few classes, she also became interested and specially bought tea sets and tea to slowly taste tea at home.
After learning the art of tea making, she realized that her original method of brewing tea was wrong.
For example, when brewing green tea, do not use boiling water. Generally, 80 to 90 degrees is fine, which is the temperature of the water in the thermos.
Making tea does not mean soaking the tea leaves in water all the time. Instead, you need to pour the tea leaves from the teapot into a fairness cup, and then from the fairness cup into the tea bowl before drinking.
Although black tea can be brewed with boiling water, it also depends on the variety. Different water temperatures will result in different tastes of the brewed tea, and there is a lot of knowledge involved.
Cai Ting was surprised to learn that Su Jiaojiao had paid 800 yuan for the tea art class. She said, "Jingjiao, you actually spent 800 yuan to learn how to make tea. Did you get ripped off?"
"This is tea art!" Su Jiaojiao said disapprovingly, "It's not just about learning how to make tea, it's a lesson."
"After all, it's all about learning how to make tea!" Cai Ting couldn't understand and could only say that her boss was indeed rich.
After all, the daily turnover is there!
These eight hundred yuan were earned in one day.
Ding Linyu, who is in charge of finance, is not as optimistic as Cai Ting. She keeps accounts carefully every day, calculates income, and reminds Su Jiaojiao of the repayment date.
Fang Zeyang's 200,000 yuan fabric payment is due, but he is still 50,000 yuan short.
Su Jiaojiao said there was no rush and she would pay him half first and the remaining half would be paid off before the end of the year.
Friendship is friendship, and business is business. She will pay as much as the fabric he gives her. There is no need to pay in advance. She doesn't have so much money that she can't spend it all.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of September.
The first batch of finished floral shirts from Kyoto Garment Company has been packaged, and Pei Lan called Su Jiaojiao to pick up the goods.
The long-awaited floral shirts were finally going to be on the market. On the weekend, Su Jiaojiao excitedly drove to Kyoto Clothing Company, filled out the pick-up form, and picked up 500 pieces.
This speed surprised Su Jiaojiao.
Wang Xiaoyu has inspected the goods. She checked a few items and was basically satisfied.
But he still made a few requests and suggestions, such as the symmetry of the neckline and the uniformity of the visible lines. Wang Xiaoyu wrote them down one by one and tried to correct them in the next batch.
Her car couldn't fit five hundred shirts at once, and the Kyoto Garment Company's car was not at home. Su Jiaojiao didn't care. She just had to make two more trips since it was close anyway.
Coincidentally, at this time Lu Jingyou called her, said he was back, and asked her where she was.
Su Jiaojiao said she was loading goods at Kyoto Garment Company, and Lu Jingyou immediately said, "Wait for me, I'll go over and help you load the goods."
"Okay, then come over!" Su Jiaojiao did not refuse. When he was not around, she couldn't count on him. Now that he is back, it would be a waste not to use him.
But as soon as he arrived, Lin Manli came.
The mother and son came face to face. Lin Manli saw Su Jiaojiao coming out of the workshop. She still didn't understand anything. She asked Lu Jingyou with a sullen face: "Jingyou, when did you come back?"
