Chapter 367 The Lu Family's Reputation
"Mom, you're here too. I just got back." Lu Jingyou turned his head and glanced at Su Jiaojiao who was standing at the door of the workshop. "I heard that Jiaojiao was loading goods here, so I came to help."
"Jingyou, do you really want to let everyone know about your relationship?" Lin Manli didn't expect that Lu Jingyou would not avoid suspicion at all. It would be fine in other places, but Pei Lan is a distant relative of the Lu family after all. If this continues, it will sooner or later become known to everyone.
Besides, her son had been used to a life of luxury since he was young and had never even swept the floor. How could he come and help her load the goods?
This is too outrageous!
"I didn't intend to hide it from them." Lu Jingyou said as he opened the trunk and asked the workers in the workshop to put the goods in. "How much is left? There's enough space in the back seat."
"There are two more packages." The five hundred shirts were packed into five packages. Su Jiaojiao put two packages in her car, and the remaining three packages were stuffed into Lu Jingyou's car.
"Jingyou, you've been gone for over a month. You must go back to the old house tonight. Your grandparents miss you." Lin Manli saw that his car was filled with packages and said with mixed feelings, "You can't focus on these things."
"Mom, I've already told you that the person I like is her, and the person I'm going to marry in the future is also her. If I don't put my heart on her, where else can I put my heart?" Lu Jingyou opened the car door and got in, saying nonchalantly, "I have something else to do tonight, so I'll be home late. You don't have to wait for me to eat."
Su Jiaojiao gave Wang Xiaoyu a few instructions, and seeing that the mother and son were still talking, she got into her car, started the car and drove out of the yard.
Except for the first time she came, she met Lin Manli once. She came two or three times afterwards and didn't meet her. Unexpectedly, she met her again today.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have let Lu Jingyou come.
She can do this job herself.
Lu Jingyou followed closely behind.
Lin Manli watched the two people's car disappear into the distance, feeling increasingly frustrated. Su Jiaojiao clearly didn't take her seriously, not even saying hello. Yet, her son followed her around...
If I marry her, how will I live?
They are destined not to get along well.
Putting aside her family background, just in terms of attitude, Yu Mingyuan and Yan Xuewei are miles ahead of her. Yan Xuewei is gentle and obedient to her, and has never said a word of no.
Even though she didn't like Yu Mingyuan, Yu Mingyuan still called her "Auntie", enthusiastically invited her to dinner, and tried her best to please Mrs. Lu.
What did Su Jiaojiao do?
Just because she had talked to her once, she held a grudge against her and ignored her whenever she saw her. As a result, her son's relationship with her was not good either.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?" Pei Lan walked out of the office. She had seen everything just now. She thought to herself that Su Jiaojiao was not an ordinary girl. She was actually in love with Lu Jingyou. This was something she could never have imagined in her dreams.
"Nothing." Lin Manli forced a smile. "Jingyou has been on a business trip for over a month and just got back. He left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to say hello to you. I'll bring him over for tea some other day."
"I just got back too." Pei Lan understood, "Both children are fine, you don't have to worry."
"A grown-up son is no longer under his mother's control. He won't tell me anything." Lin Manli is very concerned about her reputation, especially in front of relatives. She is still very polite and unwilling to let go. "I asked him, but he didn't say anything. When I asked again, he kept silent."
What she meant was that she also didn't know the relationship between her son and Su Jiaojiao.
All the relatives thought that Lu Jingyou had not yet gotten married because he had high standards and had not met a suitable family. If they knew that Lu Jingyou was in love with a rural girl, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
It’s embarrassing to think about it.
"Needless to say?" Pei Lan, who knew Lin Manli best, said meaningfully, "I've never seen Jing You be so attentive to any girl. His actions speak for themselves. Miss Su is good-looking, has a good figure, and is capable. She's a perfect match for Jing You."
“…” Lin Manli didn’t want to talk about this issue anymore. Was this a question of appearance, figure, and ability?
If you're looking for looks and figure, you might as well find a model.
As for whether one can do it or not, it is even less important.
When choosing a daughter-in-law, you have to consider all aspects. It is not enough to just be good-looking and capable to uphold the reputation of the Lu family.
The two arrived at Wudaokou one after another.
After unloading the goods and putting them into the store, Lu Jingyou finally finished the work after more than half an hour. He then realized that her job was not easy and made a suggestion to her: "I'll ask Wang Hua to pick someone for you. This is all physical work, and girls can't do it."
"No need. I can find someone myself when I need it." Su Jiaojiao was also busy and sweating. In fact, there were loaders to help unload the goods on weekdays, so she didn't feel tired.
It was Lu Jingyou's first time in her shop, and everything he saw was curious. Seeing the dazzling array of floral shirts, he asked Su Jiaojiao, "Where are my shirts?"
"At home." Su Jiaojiao didn't know he would come today, so she didn't bring him along.
Only then did Ding Linyu realize that the shirts in Su Jiaojiao's closet belonged to Lu Jingyou.
"If you have nothing to do, let's go back and get it." Lu Jingyou suggested. Su Jiaojiao asked him, "Are you not busy today?"
"I just got back and took a day off." Lu Jingyou came to find her without even going back to the company. "I don't have anything to do today."
"Then wait a moment." Su Jiaojiao called Ding Linyu and Cai Ting over and told them the floral shirt was priced at 28 yuan. "It's still the same as before, with a minimum order of ten pieces and a retail price of 69 yuan. No bargaining."
"Isn't it a bit expensive?" Cai Ting was a little worried.
This is not Su Jiaojiao's style.
Su Jiaojiao has always sold its products at low prices and in large quantities, so the profit margin is not that high.
"This batch of goods we have is not common merchandise, so the market price should be like this." Su Jiaojiao knew that she was doing this entirely to pave the way for next year's short-sleeved shirts.
If the price of this batch of long-sleeved shirts is low, the price of short-sleeved shirts will only be lower.
Besides, the price is set according to market conditions, not by her. As long as sales are good, it means the market approves it.
She trusts her own judgment.
Lu Jingyou stood at the door quietly waiting for her, making Cai Ting and Ding Linyu embarrassed to talk to Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao continued, "Starting tomorrow, you two have to wear baseball jackets, jeans, and floral shirts to work. They look much better when you wear them than when you hang them on a hanger."
"But these floral shirts are for men..." Cai Ting reminded Su Jiaojiao.
"You can wear a size small." Su Jiaojiao picked up a floral shirt and put it on her body to measure it. "I just want everyone to know that this kind of floral shirt can be worn by both men and women."
"I understand." Cai Ting and Ding Linyu nodded. Ding Linyu even urged Su Jiaojiao, "You go ahead and do your thing. We know what to do."
