Several girls were plotting with great interest, each one more excited than the other.

Later, they felt that the male comrades sitting next to them who looked at them strangely were an eyesore, so they went to the dormitory to chat.

We chatted for most of the night and slept until noon the next day.

Yi Qingqing, who slept less but had high quality sleep, woke up early, but she also kept up with the pace of her sisters. She closed her eyes and lay in bed studying for several hours until everyone else got up and she moved.

In the afternoon, they took Qian Duoduo to familiarize themselves with the capital. After having dinner together in the evening, Qian Duoduo stayed in the store while the others went back to school together. There was no other way as classes had to start again tomorrow.

…………

Late December, morning, in the cafeteria of Imperial University.

Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan were eating breakfast and reading the newspaper.

There were also several other breakfasts for the sisters on the table. She and Yun Guyuan lived off campus and were not restricted by the wake-up bell and dormitory opening hours. They often arrived at the cafeteria before the main school group went to eat, and they would get a portion for each of the sisters.

This table in the inner corner of the cafeteria has almost become their exclusive dining table.

Not long after, Li Mengxue and the others came over and ran straight to this table.

Before he even sat down, he asked, "How's it going? Any news?"

She has been very anxious recently. She clearly remembers that self-employed business was liberalized at the end of 1979. There is more and more indirect information in the newspapers recently, but the official policy has not come out, and it is almost 1980.

Yi Qingqing shook her head and handed her the newspaper.

Li Mengxue saw her shaking her head and sighed in her heart. She picked up the newspaper and saw the big words "The Central Government approves the State Administration for Industry and Commerce's application for individual economic operation license" on the largest page of the newspaper.

"It's okay! It's okay! Let go!" Li Mengxue couldn't control her surprised voice as her mood fluctuated greatly. Many classmates looked at them.

"Really?" Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling hurried over to take a look. Even Chen Zhihe and Xie Shiyan couldn't help but stand up to read the newspaper.

Qian Lailai read the key information in the newspaper: "...localities can, based on market needs and after obtaining the consent of the relevant business authorities, approve some idle labor with formal household registration to engage in repair, service and individual labor as handicraftsmen..."

Wang Lingling couldn't hide her joy: "It's true! We can open for business now!"

"This is just the right time. We can now sell our inventory!" Qian Lailai felt relieved.

Qian Lailai, Wang Lingling and Li Mengxue hugged each other and jumped for joy. Yi Qingqing, who was concentrating on eating and pretending not to be in the same group with them, was forced to join them.

"Alright, alright, everyone is looking at us, calm down, calm down!"

"You little Jinhua, I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't told me. Why did you lie to us just now?" Li Mengxue said angrily.

“Uh…” Yi Qingqing was stuck for a second: “Isn’t this a way of suppressing first and then praising, which can amplify your happiness!”

Well, it’s just for fun!

Li Mengxue: “…”

She was in a good mood today and didn't want to argue with Xiao Jinhua, so she let her go for the time being.

There is good news to go with the meal. The steamed buns this morning are more delicious than usual.

A few people agreed to go to the store together to discuss things after the afternoon class, and then rush to class.

Yi Qingqing's newspaper was also grabbed by Comrade Da Jinhua and taken away.

Yi Qingqing shook her head. That was great! The little leeks were going to start making money for her!

After class in the evening, several people met up at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then took a bus to Jinma Street together.

Qian Duoduo also pays attention to the news in the newspaper every day. After reading the newspaper today, he knew that they would definitely come over in the evening.

Even if tomorrow wasn't Sunday, they probably wouldn't be able to help it.

So Qian Duoduo started cooking in advance. Although her cooking skills were not as good as Yi Qingqing's, they were also at the level of ordinary home cooking. If she cooked earlier, they could eat as soon as they arrived. They had a tight schedule and were busy.

Yi Qingqing and the others smelled the fragrance as soon as they entered the door.

"Sister Duoduo! It smells so good!" Yi Qingqing sniffed, looking very happy.

There is nothing better than having a meal as soon as you arrive.

Although she loves food, she is not picky.

Li Mengxue went up and gave Qian Duoduo a kiss: "Sister Duoduo, it's great to have you here!"

"Gurgle~" Wang Lingling touched her belly.

"Haha, as soon as I read the newspaper today, I knew you would come over tonight. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Everything is ready!" Qian Duoduo was very satisfied as he looked at his four sisters who were acting coquettishly.

Which sister doesn’t like a sweet, soft and sweet-talking sister?

At the dinner table, they discussed the opening of the clothing store while eating.

"I will go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the next two days to inquire about how to get the business license and get it approved as soon as possible," Qian Duoduo said.

"The week after next is exam week. Why don't we open the store after the exams? Then we'll all be able to help," said Wang Lingling.

"Okay, we have almost everything ready. We can open the business after we get the business license." Li Mengxue nodded: "Let's set it on the day after we get the results! January 15th!"

Section 257

"Let's go with January 16th, it's a good day for opening," Yun Guyuan rarely said.

"Why???" Everyone else looked at him.

"I've looked through the calendar and the almanac," said Yun Guyuan.

Li Mengxue didn't think it was a big deal. Doing business still requires some metaphysical luck: "Then January 16th!"

"Should we promote it?" Xie Shiyan also had some ideas.

Li Mengxue was reminded: "Promote! We must promote! We just happen to have a few days after the exam, so let's use it to design and write flyers!"

"I'd like to apply to write the promotional slogan!" Xie Shiyan took the initiative to propose.

"Okay!" Li Mengxue nodded. After all, he studied journalism and communication. If it really didn't work, they could still revise it.

"Then can I start contacting those tailor candidates that I had my eyes on before?" Qian Duoduo asked.

"Yes! Now that the policy has come out, we don't have to hide our preparations anymore," said Li Mengxue.

"Then I'll calculate the costs so that we can set the price when the time comes," Qian Lailai said after thinking for a while.

"Then I'll contact Hai City and order another batch of cloth. We can get a small batch of woolen fabrics to the tailors we hired to make noodles, as they're about to sell out. We can also get a batch of materials for spring clothing so that we can start preparing spring goods in advance," Wang Lingling also said.

"Okay, okay! All good!" Li Mengxue felt deeply relieved. Look how proactive everyone was. She didn't have to worry about anything. They had already thought of what they wanted to do.
