Lin Xiaocui didn't get to see Wang Xiuqin, but instead received a marriage proposal from Han Lei.
Group proposals?
Lin Xiaocui felt sorry for Lin Chunhua when she heard that she had rejected Meng Hui's marriage proposal. Little did she know that Han Lei had meticulously prepared a marriage proposal at a Western restaurant.
As expected of a professor from an internationally recognized university, his proposal was incredibly romantic, complete with a large bouquet of bright red roses.
The restaurant was filled with the melodious sound of a piano and the aroma of bread. Han Lei's sweet words were like soft music, intoxicating her.
But, do we really want to get married?
Although they had been together for quite some time and had a very sweet relationship, she was still very hesitant about starting a family life.
She had to face a very real problem.
If she gets married, she will go home and ask Wang Xiuqin for her household registration book.
Lin Chunhua kept her household registration under her own control, while her own remained at home and had not been separated from the household registration.
"Ah Lei, I need to think about it some more." Lin Xiaocui was always straightforward with Han Lei.
Han Lei took back the ring, sat back in his chair, and his face showed a hint of disappointment but no anger.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to decide. This salt-baked shrimp is a new dish, you should try it."
He carefully peeled the shrimp and put them in her bowl, without mentioning marriage again.
Actually, he had brought up marriage many times, but she always changed the subject.
Thinking it wasn't formal enough, he decided to have a grand proposal, but she still refused.
He's a professor, he has plenty of patience, let's find another opportunity later.
...
The opening ceremony of Dong'an Wholesale Market was held as scheduled.
A huge T-shaped stage was erected in the square outside the market.
The stage was unique, attracting many people to stop and watch.
After the boisterous lion dance and drum performance, Lu Wanqing and her group walked to the center of the stage.
Her attire today was very grand and festive, with a red flower pinned to her chest and her hair neatly styled on top of her head, giving her the air of a female entrepreneur.
The people around her were also dressed in formal attire, with smiles on their faces. Among them were government officials like Fok Ying-tung and business partners like Ah Biao.
It was Ah Biao's first time wearing a suit, and he kept fidgeting in front of everyone, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Lin Chunhua, on the other hand, was much more composed. Having spent a long time by Lu Wanqing's side, her temperament had become closer to Lu Wanqing's, and she naturally exuded an air of elegance and leisure.
After thunderous applause, Lu Wanqing and Fok Ying-tung both delivered speeches. Many merchants who were gathered around were thrilled to hear their plans and visions for the future of the market and were ready to make a big splash.
The onlookers, however, started to jeer, wanting to see the models perform.
Because they had already seen many young and beautiful girls waiting in the wings next to the stage.
They were wearing the most fashionable clothes of the moment, and their slender figures made their clothes especially attractive.
"Okay, I see everyone's attention is on our models, so let's begin!"
If you like the clothes, you can go to the market and buy them. If you like the models, well, there's nothing I can do, they all have partners!
A joke by Fok Ying-tung caused everyone to burst into laughter.
To the accompaniment of upbeat music, models, wearing small leather shoes, walked onto the stage one by one.
People stared in disbelief.
It was the first time everyone had seen such a performance up close, and no one tried to hide their excitement.
Cheers were deafening, and some even whistled.
Huo Xiao stood below the stage, accompanied by a group of security guards, acting like human cameras to maintain order at the scene.
Lu Wanqing handed over the evidence she had obtained regarding Lin Cong's solicitation of bribes to the relevant supervisory department. Not only did Lin Cong have to undergo an investigation, but she also successfully obtained plot No. 002 in the suburbs.
He has already begun preparations for building the factory and is extremely busy.
But for such an important event as the market opening, he had to attend to protect Lu Wanqing's safety.
As the saying goes, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. Lu Wanqing's clothing factory occupies half of the market in Beijing, squeezing out others. Now she has created a wholesale market, which makes many people envious.
People nowadays are prone to extreme emotions, and if someone goes bankrupt because of her, they might easily resort to extreme measures.
Just as he was surveying his surroundings, Xu Ruping emerged from the crowd with locust flowers in her arms.
Her face was tense, her lips were tightly pressed together, and her fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, as if the anger in her heart was about to explode at any moment.
Seeing that her face was contorted with anger, Huaihua quickly tried to comfort her:
"Don't be fooled by her current smugness. Who knows what will happen in the future! This market is so big, with hundreds of merchants. It's no wonder she can't manage it well. If she just gets a few people to cause trouble, she'll be in big trouble."
Xu Ruping glared at her and said irritably, "It's all because of you, you're useless. You haven't managed to secure a single merchant. The sales of the factory's clothes will definitely be affected in the future."
Those merchants, eager to curry favor with Lu Wanqing, will definitely prioritize buying goods from her factory.
She was still very clear-headed, knowing that this time she had lost completely, and the market she had worked so hard to gain was about to be taken away again.
Knowing he was in the wrong, the locust flower lowered its head and remained silent.
Xu Ruping suddenly turned to her with a deathly smile!
"It's time to do something for me!"
She spoke softly, her voice low, yet filled with murderous intent.
The locust flower shivered, knowing it was time to repay its debt.
...
Late at night, in the garment factory office, Lu Wanqing was listening to A Biao's report.
The opening ceremony during the day was a great success, and after the models' performance, everyone flocked to the market.
Although the market is a wholesale market, Lu Wanqing requires merchants not to refuse individual customers.
In addition, try to be as nice as possible when selling goods.
Ah Biao tallied the sales figures for each merchant today, and the results were quite impressive. In particular, the sales figures for the dozens of merchants he had carefully managed were all over 100,000, with the highest sales exceeding 300,000.
"This is only the first day, and we've already shipped such a large volume of goods. The merchants are so busy they don't even have time to drink water," A Biao chuckled.
"This is just the beginning. Once the market's reputation is established, people from the surrounding areas will come here to buy goods."
Lu Wanqing's voice was calm; everything was as she had expected.
It's not that she's particularly amazing, but rather that with the development of the times, people's demand for clothing has become very strong.
In the past, people wore clothes simply to keep warm, and they couldn't buy a new set of clothes all year round.
Nowadays, people pursue dressing beautifully and presentably, and one person can own more than a dozen pieces of clothing at the same time.
Women, in particular, never have enough clothes in their wardrobes.
I'm not afraid of trendy and expensive clothes in the market, I'm only afraid of not being able to buy them.
Wholesale markets were born out of this strong demand, so there's no need to worry about a lack of customers.
In reality, those merchants didn't treat customers very well, but since there were only so many places to buy clothes, they didn't care about not receiving quality service.
Just as the two were discussing the market, a commotion broke out outside.
The next second, Lu Wanqing heard: "Fire! The factory is on fire!"
