Liu Aiguo's face stiffened upon hearing this. It was absolutely impossible for him to sell his job. With a proper job, who would engage in speculation and profiteering? It would be too shameful to go out and show his face in public.
"Can I buy it on credit first, and pay you back as soon as I sell it?"
Liu Jing refused as soon as he finished speaking: "No, what if everyone does it after you start? Besides, the shop doesn't belong to me alone."
Liu Aiguo: "Third brother, you don't agree either?"
Liu Yun, who was enjoying the gossip, didn't expect Liu Aiguo to suddenly mention her. After all, Liu Jing always transforms into Liu Niu Gulu Shi Jing whenever she's with Liu Aiguo and his wife, which is really amusing.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Liu Aiguo: "Isn't the shop yours and your second son's?"
Liu Yun: "No! It wasn't me, and I'm not involved in things anymore."
Liu Aiguo: "If you're not going to manage things, then what are you going to do?"
Liu Yun: "Go to Xiangshi! Yu Qianhe has already gone to Xiangshi, what am I still doing here? Besides, the educational resources there are better. Yu Qianhe has already taken care of everything, and Beibei and the others will go to Xiangshi to study after the New Year."
Upon hearing this, Xu Hongxing's eyes lit up: "Big sister, you see, little sister doesn't have time right now, but I do! I can do what little sister does too. I also graduated from high school. How about I take over little sister's job?"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jing and Liu Yun couldn't help but laugh. Even Liu Aidang and Li Hui, who were in the kitchen, couldn't hold back. This was just too shameless!
Xu Hongxing didn't seem to realize he'd made a fool of himself at all: "What are you laughing at? Do you really look down on me that much?"
Liu Jing: "I'd really like to think highly of you. So tell me, can you go to Guangzhou alone to buy goods? This isn't just a little bit, but tens of thousands of orders, and you'll have to negotiate with those factory managers in Guangzhou. Or can you go to Northeast China alone to check out the market and get orders? If you can't do either of these, I'd appreciate it if you could come up with 100,000 yuan to help with working capital. Which of these three things can you do?"
Xu Hongxing: "100,000!!! Why don't you just rob it? I don't believe the third brother has it."
Not only Xu Hongxing, but everyone present except Liu Yun was shocked by this number.
Liu Jing would never betray her sister to a bloodsucking leech. "She didn't, but she often goes to Guangzhou alone to do business! She's in charge of Guangzhou, and she has to go there alone every month to buy goods. Don't think it's easy. You can imagine the dangers of going there alone. And do you think business is so easy? Just the price of ducks is not easy. If you lower the price of each garment by one yuan, a thousand garments will be a thousand yuan. Can you do that? But she did it, and she did it very well."
Liu Aiguo: "Then what are you in charge of? Isn't the shop under your management?"
Liu Jing: "I manage the goods in the north! But it's not just me. Lao Xiao, my sister-in-law, and I manage it together. I can't handle so much by myself, and I don't dare to go to the north alone. But my sister-in-law is in the north, and Lao Xiao often drives there, so I'm in charge of that area."
Liu Aiguo: "Who's in charge here?"
Liu Jing: "Cheng Ke and Zhou Mei, most of those clothes were made by Cheng Ke, while Zhou Mei manages the shop."
That's the truth. Zhou Mei has now been promoted to store manager, so she's in charge of the store now.
Liu Jing wasn't afraid of him investigating, because Cheng Ke was in charge of many things here. Now that the factory was up and running, Zhou Mei was mostly in charge of the shops.
Now that we've fooled Liu Aiguo, we can move our headquarters to Xiangshi later, and then he won't be able to control us anymore. Coincidentally, the shops in Xiangshi will be ready soon, and as for the factory, it will be difficult for him to even get close.
Now Liu Aiguo and Xu Hongxing gave up. They could be unreasonable at home, but not in public. They couldn't possibly cause trouble for Cheng Ke and Zhou Mei; they still had their pride. Xiao Zhihua had already humiliated them enough today.
Xu Hongxing: "Then can you lend me some money first?"
Liu Jing: "Do you think I would offer you 100,000 yuan if I had the money? And even if I did have the money, why would I lend it to you just to annoy me?"
Liu Yun: "Don't look at me like that. I have way more expenses than you. I don't even know how much it will cost to buy a house this time! I'm unemployed, and Yu Qian is supporting our family of seven by himself. At least you have your parents to help you, but we're far away, and Mo Chen can't even mention it. We have to rely entirely on ourselves. Besides, the cost of living is high in Xiangshi, and we have five children in school. Brother, you're also supporting your whole family by yourself, so you should know this kind of pressure!"
What else could Liu Aiguo say? That he's inferior to Yu Qianhe, and that with his parents' help, he couldn't even support his family? He still has a sense of shame.
Without Liu's parents taking the lead, the farce ultimately failed to escalate.
Liu Aiguo realized he couldn't borrow money from them, and Liu Aidang was unlikely to lend him any either; he'd rather watch him make a fool of himself. His only option was to borrow from his parents, but with so many people around, he knew they wouldn't ask directly; he'd have to discuss it privately.
Although Liu's parents were heartbroken, they couldn't really abandon their eldest son, so they had no choice but to borrow money.
But this money is definitely gone forever, like throwing a meat bun to a dog.
Although Liu Aidang knew, he no longer cared about such things and pretended not to know, but he was still heartbroken towards his parents.
From now on, they will eat whatever he eats and live wherever he wants; that's all.
Although people say that everyone is deceitful, and he already knew that, it still didn't feel good to actually experience it.
Xu Hongxing didn't make much money setting up a stall, since the clothing market in Xin County was already saturated. If she sold her clothes cheaper, she could earn a little bit. No matter how little, if she worked hard, she could always earn enough to support her family.
But that’s all in the past.
