When Liu Yun got home, she quickly made Yu Qian a cup of honey water.
"Drink it, then quickly wash up and go to bed. You'll have plenty to collect tomorrow."
Even after drinking honey water, Yu Qianhe, who had drunk too much alcohol and been exposed to the wind, still had a headache and was lying in a chair enjoying his elderly mother's head massage.
Liu Yun packed her things and casually went out to buy train tickets for all nine people.
This time, the family went on an even wilder trip. It was the first time Yu Qian had ever gone out with his family like this, and he felt like he had missed out on a fortune if he hadn't been able to come this summer.
With Yu Qian and this photography expert around, there was no need for Liu Yun, but the result was that they ran out of film halfway through the trip.
The nine of us played until the 27th of the lunar year before heading back. However, it was difficult to buy tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush. We only managed to get three sleeper tickets, and the rest were seated tickets.
So, Yu's mother could only take Dangdang and An'an to sit in the sleeper berths, while the rest of the people had to go out and squeeze in.
The trains during the Spring Festival travel rush were packed like dumplings being dropped into a pot, which made Liu Yun regret her decision.
She originally thought that the Spring Festival travel rush at this time wouldn't be as crowded as in later years, and that there wouldn't be many people going out.
I never imagined that the Spring Festival travel rush would be the same no matter when it happened—it would always be a massive migration.
Liu Yun decided that she would never go out to play during the Spring Festival again after this trip, which involved squeezing onto a train.
Liu Yun returned looking completely dejected, which made Yu Qian feel extremely guilty. He had forgotten to tell Liu Yun about the Spring Festival travel rush, assuming she knew, but it turned out she was unaware.
However, she only felt listless for a day and was full of energy again the next day. Originally, Liu Yun had planned to go out for a trip during the first month of the lunar calendar, but now she gave up and decided that staying at home was more suitable for her.
It's the 28th day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole family is busy again. Yu Qian is busy delivering New Year's gifts to his parents-in-law, while his parents are busy preparing New Year's goods. Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, and Bei Bei are cleaning with Dang Dang and An An, while Liu Yun is busy collecting money.
That's right, it's about collecting money. Although Yu Qianhe's electronics factory won't distribute dividends this year, his transportation company, clothing factory, and Jinyige will all receive a share.
As soon as Liu Jing and Cheng Ke heard that Liu Yun had returned, they rushed over to help with the hard labor.
They get incredibly busy at the end of the year, managing employee benefits, checking accounts, and inspecting stores.
Although we hired a lot of people in the second half of the year, business is always better at the end of the year, so we are even busier than before. We wish we could split one person into two. Liu Yun used to be an accountant, and she was pulled over here to audit the accounts.
The transportation company's money was the first to arrive. As soon as she returned, Xiao Zhihua brought her the money, a total of 150,000 yuan. Looking at the string of zeros on the passbook, Liu Yun's eyes crinkled with laughter; her wallet was finally bulging.
The clothing factory and the clothing store didn't find out until New Year's Eve that Liu Yun had received 200,000 yuan from the store and 300,000 yuan from the factory, making a total of 500,000 yuan. Liu Yun was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
While others are still striving to become millionaires, she earned over a million this year, not counting what she spent. A million in the 1980s—just thinking about it makes her happy. She can finally lie down and count money from now on.
Liu Yun's smile never faded as her wallet grew fuller.
Yu's father, mother, and Qian all knew what she had gone to do; they could tell from her face that she had earned a lot, but none of the three said anything.
Yu Qianhe's parents wouldn't pry into how much money their son and daughter-in-law had, but they knew Liu Yun would tell him.
Chen Xi and Gao Lan arrived at the old house early today specifically to see Liu Yun, but they didn't expect that Liu Yun had already gone out to help out at Jinyi Pavilion. The two had to hold back for now, but now that Liu Yun is back, they can't resist anymore.
Chen Xi: "Fourth sister-in-law is back. Are you done with work at the shop?"
Liu Yun: "Yeah, I just went over to lend a hand."
Gao Lan: "Your sister-in-law's shop is really booming! Now everyone in the Southern Province probably knows about Jinyige."
Liu Yun: "Sister-in-law, you're joking. The shop is alright, but it's not mine."
It's obvious to everyone that the shop is doing well, so Liu Yun doesn't need to hide anything. However, judging from their expressions, Liu Yun knows that the two of them have something to ask her.
Chen Xi: "Wasn't that a joint venture between you two?"
Liu Yun: "Yes, but I'm not involved in things anymore."
Gao Lan: "It's like this, fourth sister-in-law, we also want to go there to get some goods, could you take us with you?"
Liu Yun: "Get the goods? Just go there directly! Everything at Jinyige is clearly priced. How much you buy and how much it costs are all clearly marked. Don't worry, you won't get ripped off."
Liu Yun wasn't lying. Jin Yi Ge's sourcing model was similar to that of a wholesale market in later times, but with clearly marked prices, no bargaining, and different price tiers. For example, if you bought several items at Jin Yi Ge, the price would be the same, which might be more expensive.
However, if you wholesale more than 100 pieces, there is one price; if you buy 1,000 pieces, there is another price, which will be cheaper; and if you buy 2,000 pieces, there will be a further discount. Moreover, all prices are clearly marked.
But these two don't seem like they're planning to quit their jobs and set up a stall! Otherwise, they would have contacted her already.
Liu Yun: "Are you planning to sell jobs to start a business?"
Chen Xi: "It wasn't me, it was my nephew from my maternal family who saw Yu Zhang and the others doing it and wanted to try it too."
Gao Lan: "Well, they saw that Xiao Huan and his team's business is doing well and they wanted to give it a try, so they asked us to ask if you could pick up the goods."
After all, when Yu Zhang, Yu Huan, and Yu Ke went to purchase goods, they all first sought introductions from Liu Yun.
Liu Yun: "They can just go to the store to buy the goods themselves. They don't need anyone to introduce them. They can just go if they want to. And it's not like whoever introduces them will give them a discount. Everyone is the same. If they want a discount, they can only buy more goods."
Chen Xi: "Okay, I'll talk to them in a couple of days."
Hearing Liu Yun's words, the two women were relieved. When they came to ask, they were unsure whether Liu Yun would agree. They only knew that there were people who didn't deal in goods at Jinyi Pavilion, but they didn't know how they got them.
Most importantly, their son and daughter also sourced goods from Jin Yi Ge, introduced by Liu Yun. Although they didn't know how much money their family had made, it was certainly a considerable amount. So, they came to ask mainly because they were afraid that Liu Yun would object, and what if they offended her and couldn't get their goods anymore?
Hearing this now, I feel relieved. I haven't offended anyone, I can continue to earn money, and I've fulfilled my family's request.
