Huang Ming was about to open it to take a look when Lu Wanqing stopped him, saying, "Look at it outside, thank you."
Yu Meifeng glared at her, "Wanqing, what kind of attitude is this! My husband handles orders worth hundreds of thousands a year, and people are begging him to show them sample garments. Don't get too cocky."
"Meifeng, this is the lousy designer you introduced to me. He's really wasting my time!" Huang Ming's pretense gradually crumbled.
He carried the clothes and unfolded them as he walked out. When he reached the courtyard gate, his eyes were completely captivated by the deep green cheongsam.
The clothes are like an exquisite ink painting, with a unique design and delicate orchids, making it seem as if you are holding not clothes, but a fine work of art.
This dress is even better than the cheongsams worn by Hong Kong singers. If they wore it, they would sway gracefully and exude charm with every twist of their waists.
Seeing Huang Ming standing there in a daze, holding the clothes, Yu Meifeng tugged at his sleeve and said, "Come on, that Lu Wanqing is ungrateful. Don't blame me, I just wanted to help you..."
Unexpectedly, Huang Ming, having recovered his senses, gave Yu Meifeng a rare smile, "Meifeng, you've really done me a good thing this time!"
After saying that, he picked up the clothes and turned to find Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing crossed her arms and smiled enigmatically: "Boss Huang, do you remember what you just said? I don't want to waste your time."
Huang Ming chuckled foolishly, "Comrade Lu, I was blind and looked down on you. I was very rude just now. Here's what I'll do: I'll take all the cheongsams you make from now on."
"Ming-ge, she can make twenty pieces a month, and you want them all?" Yu Meifeng followed over and asked in surprise.
Huang Ming nodded repeatedly, "I'll take as many as you want, as long as they are of the same quality as this one."
He had already figured it out. Lu Wanqing's cheongsams could definitely be marketed as high-end boutiques. He had a partner foreign trade company, and each one could sell for at least 150 yuan.
As for Lu Wanqing's cheongsam design, he could have the garment factories here make the pattern, and use a lower-grade fabric instead, so that it could still be sold to the port city for the local people to wear.
So now, in order to reach a cooperation agreement with Lu Wanqing, what's wrong with him swallowing his pride and begging her?
Lu Wanqing could guess that Huang Ming's profits were not low, so she was naturally unwilling to give in easily.
The sample garments are priced at 41 pieces, but depending on Huang Ming's attitude, there's room for improvement.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huang Ming became anxious, thinking that he and his wife had offended her, and kept saying nice things to her.
"Comrade Lu, how about this, I'll add another ten yuan, and I'll transport the clothes back to Dongguan City and then export them. All of this requires expenses, you can't stop me from making money!" Huang Ming said through gritted teeth.
Lu Wanqing then put her hand down and invited him into the house.
"Sign this agreement!" Lu Wanqing added a few numbers to a pre-prepared agreement and handed it to Huang Ming.
When Huang Ming took a look, he saw that the agreement was well-made and more complete than any other agreement he had ever seen. The important clauses were even written in large, dark font.
One of the rules is that all of Lu Wanqing's cheongsam designs must not be copied and mass-produced; if any are found, she will report them to the Administration for Industry and Commerce.
Huang Ming was startled, marveling that Lu Wanqing was like a mind reader to him, seeing right through his little schemes.
Lu Wanqing didn't actually see through things; it was just necessary caution due to her previous life doing business with Lin Ye.
Huang Ming's eyes darted around. He couldn't let the duck that was already in his mouth fly away like that. He had to sign the agreement first.
As for making counterfeit versions in the future, he just needs to be more meticulous. When all the clothes are sent to Dongguan, how much ability does she have to find out?
The agreement was reached happily, and when Lin Ye returned, Lu Wanqing told him the good news.
Lin Ye picked up Lu Wanqing and spun her around in the air, unable to hide his smile. "Wife, you're amazing. But it means you and Mom will have even more work to do."
Lu Wanqing stopped, leaned against his chest, and poked his chest with her finger: "Then can I work overtime at night from now on? With a flashlight, the light is already very strong, and there's still a long time between dinner and bedtime!"
Since she started making clothes, Lin Ye has forbidden her from working at night. During the long nights, she can only draw design drafts, and now she has accumulated several notebooks full of inspiration.
Actually, as long as you use a flashlight, you can work for at least three more hours at night.
Faced with Lu Wanqing's sweet request, Lin Ye gently pinched her nose and said, "Okay, but you can only work for an extra hour."
Lu Wanqing pouted and pushed him away unhappily. Her cute appearance made Lin Ye unable to look away, so he simply hugged her from behind and continued talking to her.
Lin Ye told her that Qi Wei had been bitten by a dog, received a rabies shot, and the wound was no longer a problem, but he was afraid to leave the hospital.
The commune reported this matter to the Ministry of Education, which, after careful consideration, decided to remove Teacher Anjie from her position and appoint her as the school's sanitation worker, responsible for all sanitation work at the school.
Although Qi Wei continues to serve as the principal, he is required to compensate Luo Kunkun's family with 100 yuan.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the school, Zhang Wei personally issued an appointment letter, promoting Du Wenbing to the position of vice principal, to manage the school together with Qi Wei.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei also harbored resentment towards Qi Wei, but considering his background, he did not remove him. Appointing Du Wenbing as vice principal was, in effect, a way of diminishing Qi Wei's power.
"There's one more thing, but don't be disgusted by what you hear," Lin Ye continued.
"Tell me first." Lu Wanqing has indeed developed a new problem recently: she can't help but feel nauseous whenever she hears about disgusting people or things.
"I just heard about this too. It's said that Zhou Ling went to the hospital to take care of Qi Wei."
As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, Lu Wanqing reflexively gagged twice, and Lin Ye dared not say anything more.
The next day, Lin Ye went to work, and Lu Wanqing took Zhao Xiaolan to Aunt Luo's house and borrowed a bicycle to go to the county town.
As she was leaving, Li Fang said to her sarcastically, "There are a lot of stones on the road, so be careful not to puncture your tires."
Lu Wanqing was taken aback. Li Fang was usually quite enthusiastic when she saw her, but recently she hadn't come to her house to chat. What she said just now was even more sarcastic. It was because of Kunkun's matter that she had a problem with Lin Ye, and she had become strange towards her as a result.
However, since it was just a superficial friendship anyway, she didn't need to take it to heart.
She accepted Huang Ming's order, which meant she could make a profit of several tens of yuan for every cheongsam she made. She had no time to deal with unimportant people.
She rode her bicycle to Old Xu's tailor shop, disguised herself, and prepared to buy silk fabric. However, when Xu Tianshou heard that she wanted a large quantity, he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he had gone to great lengths to get the goods from the silk factory, and how could he possibly sell them all to her?
The county town has only one silk factory, and the silk fabrics are produced in fixed quantities according to the garment factory's quotas and are generally not sold retail.
Lu Wanqing had no choice but to go to Tiger for help.
Tiger was also troubled, because no one had ever bought silk fabric from him before. However, he quickly thought of someone.
