Chapter 116: Take One Step at a Time



"The doctor said it was high blood pressure. It's okay. Just take some medicine and you'll be fine. Don't worry." Li Chengde sighed helplessly, "I just fainted because I was so angry. The doctor said I was emotionally unstable and asked me to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. I'm fine, but it's mainly because of your sister."

"What about the factory? What happened? Sister Qin only gave me a general idea on the phone and didn't go into detail."

It would be better to ask Li Chengde about the things happening in the factory.

Li Chengde frowned and hesitated, "Don't worry about it, I can find a way to solve it myself."

"You're so angry that you're hospitalized. How else can you solve this problem? Tell me, maybe I can help you with some ideas?"

She could see that Li Chengde was just holding on.

What solution?

If he could solve it, why would he stay in the hospital for so many days?

Li Chengde wanted to refuse, but Uncle Zuo came over and sat down on the other side of Li Chengde.

...

...

"I think what this little girl said is right. Tell me about it. I am also very curious as an old man."

Li Chengde glanced at the patient and his family in another bed, then lowered his voice and said, "A friend I had worked with several times before introduced a big order to me a month ago. The other party paid the deposit, but my friend asked me for a commission.

I think it is not easy to come across such a big order. After it is completed, this commission is naturally nothing.

But what I never expected was that a month later, after we completed the order on time, I tried to contact the company's salesperson again, but couldn't get through at all.

I found the address of the other company, but was told that the other company did not exist at all.

There was no other way, I could only come to Beijing to find my friend, thinking that after all, it was he who introduced me, so I might see if there could be any clues.

I didn’t expect…”

Li Chengde felt somewhat uncomfortable when he said this.

He paused, gritted his teeth and continued, "I didn't expect that bastard to be so arrogant and say that this matter has nothing to do with him."

"My wife is so angry. She said he took the money but didn't do the job. He introduced this kind of person to us. Isn't that just a rip-off?

That bastard flatly denied taking any money and even hit my wife.

How could I bear it, so I went up to beat him up.

After this, he got so angry that he fainted. "

"Then didn't you ask him to compensate for the medical expenses?" Old Man Zuo asked puzzledly.

Li Chengde shook his head. "Don't mention it. He ran away as soon as he saw me faint. If it weren't for my wife, I'm afraid I would be..."

“Brother-in-law!”

Realizing that Li Chengde was about to say something unlucky, Song Shishi interrupted him in time.

"What's the situation in the factory now? Do you have the blueprints for the clothing style that the company ordered before?"

It sounds like the most urgent issue to be resolved right now is the issue of the batch of clothing in the factory.

Now that Li Chengde is in the hospital, I'm afraid the employees in the factory will make a fuss.

Li Chengde lowered his head. "I do have the drawings, but the factory is basically shut down now. The workers are making a fuss and asking me to pay their wages. I want to pay them, but I really have no money now."

"Have you called the police?" Uncle Zuo's face was serious, completely different from his previous attitude of just watching the fun.

"I have reported it, but there has been no news. I don't have much hope anymore. I can only take it one step at a time."

Li Chengde didn't have the strength to speak.

Song Shishi turned her head and looked out the window. It was already dark and it was time for her to go back.

"Brother-in-law, you should take good care of yourself first and stay in the hospital with peace of mind. As for the rest, wait until Sister Qin comes tomorrow and we will discuss what to do next."

Fearing that Li Chengde would become depressed due to the pressure, Song Shishi stuffed a few apples into the hands of Uncle Zuo before leaving.

Master Zuo immediately understood what she meant, smiled and nodded to Song Shishi, and whispered, "Don't worry."

After returning home, Song Shishi ate a few mouthfuls of food and went into her room.

She tried hard to recall what the popular clothes were in her previous life.

No matter what the clothes in the factory look like, Li Chengde is worried because they can't be sold.

If you want to successfully sell the clothes that have already been made, you must redesign them based on the original ones.

Although she has some basic knowledge of painting, she is a layman when it comes to designing clothes.

So she could only rely on her memory, first drawing the popular clothing in her memory, and then asking the professionals in Li Chengde factory to refer to it and then make a secondary design.

Although everyone's economic conditions were not very good at that time, this was Beijing and there were still many wealthy people.

As long as he can create a popular trend, Li Chengde's factory will not only be able to overcome this difficulty smoothly, but also make a lot of money.

Xu Li brought in a cup of brewed malted milk. Seeing that Song Shishi was busy, she approached very quietly and carefully placed the cup aside, a little further away from her hand.

To avoid Song Shishi knocking over the cup while not paying attention.

It’s not a big deal if the malted milk spilled, but the main concern is that it would ruin the results of Song Shishi’s hard work for half a day.

After finishing the last stroke, Song Shishi turned her stiff neck.

Seeing Xu Li standing next to him, he smiled and asked, "Are you ready to rest?"

As she spoke, she tidied up the drawings in front of her and put them into the large drawer in the middle.

"I'm almost there too."

Xu Li just saw that Song Shishi was drawing clothes. She guessed that Song Shishi might be helping Su Yaqin and the others, so she asked, "Sister, are Sister Qin and brother-in-law really in trouble?"

"Well, it's a bit tricky."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xu Li also wanted to help Su Yaqin.

"Sister Qin will bring Xiaobao to Jing City tomorrow. We need to discuss how to deal with the problem later. You can go to the hospital with me then."

Xu Li was willing to help, so Song Shishi naturally wouldn't refuse on the grounds that she couldn't help.

Su Yaqin had taken so good care of them before, so now that Su Yaqin's family needed help, they should naturally take the initiative to help.

"Okay, then I'll get up early tomorrow and go to the street to buy some cakes. Haoyang likes them."

Because today is the Lantern Festival, Xu Li went out early in the morning to buy pastries, and there was a long line at the door.

When Xu Li saw that it would be almost noon by the time it was her turn,

After thinking about it, I decided to give up.

Song Shishi had just packed her things and finished her breakfast when she saw Xu Li coming back empty-handed.

"There were too many people and no one bought it?"

Xu Li nodded and said in annoyance: "There are too many people. What should I do? I can't go empty-handed."

"Isn't there a box of untouched cakes at home? There's also a small can of malted milk. Go get it."

Song Shishi remembered that there was some left at home from what she bought last time.

Since it hasn't been moved anyway, there's no need to worry too much about the emergency.

"Okay, I'll give you how much it costs."

After saying that, Xu Li was afraid that Song Shishi would refuse, so she added: "This is a token of my love for Sister Qin, and I want to pay for it myself."
