Li Jia listened to Zhao Fei's voice on the phone and said calmly, "I'm outside. What's up? If it's nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow. I can't go back now."
"It's something very important, about the details of our collaboration. I'm sure you're looking forward to our partnership, right?" Zhao Fei naturally offered her leverage upon hearing Li Jia's words.
"Okay, wait for me at my shop for a bit. I'll be back in half an hour." After saying that, Li Jia hung up the phone. "Xiao Qing, you guys go ahead and study. If you need any help from Brother Li, just let me know. I'm going back now."
"Okay, Brother Li, please be careful on the road." Li Xiaoqing replied with a smile, got up and opened the door for Li Jia. Li Yan, who was standing next to her, returned to the bedroom with a blank expression, while Li Xiaotong looked at Li Jia with complicated eyes, and finally bit her lip without saying what she wanted to say.
After leaving the place where Li Xiaoqing and the others lived, Li Jia felt more at ease after learning that the house where Li Xiaoqing and the others lived was hers. After all, home is always the best. Driving and listening to music, Li Jia returned to the dry cleaner.
Zhao Fei had been waiting in the rest area for more than ten minutes. When she saw Li Jia return, she immediately stood up and smiled, "You're quite the diva, aren't you? You're the first person to make me wait for more than ten minutes!"
"Hehe, there's no other way. Things have come to this point. If you won't agree to reschedule, I have no choice but to be the first to try it." Li Jia's words were impeccable, typical of a businessman.
"Let's keep it simple. How do we cooperate? What conditions are needed? Let's make it clear beforehand that I won't do anything illegal or against my conscience." Li Jia's behavior at this moment was completely that of a shrewd businessman. In fact, Li Jia did this because of Zhao Fei. When dealing with businessmen, one must naturally use businessmen's methods.
“Brother Li, you’re quite straightforward. Alright, let’s get straight to the point. First, let me introduce myself. I’m Zhao Fei, the legal representative of Zuolong Men’s Clothing Flagship Store in City B. So, please don’t doubt the weight of my words.” After saying this, Zhao Fei solemnly extended her hand.
"Li Jia! The owner of Shuxin International Chain Dry Cleaning Store, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Jia showed Zhao Fei's confidence with great respect.
Zuolong Men's Wear is one of the top brands among clothing companies in City B. It belongs to Yuntian Clothing Group and is a well-known brand in City B and even the whole country. Zhao Fei is already the owner of Zuolong flagship store at a young age, so she naturally has the strength and capital to be proud.
Zuolong Apparel mainly operates through specialty stores in City B. There are four regular stores, one flagship store, and two off-season discount stores in City B, distributed across five districts. The Jinghua District, where Li Jia lives, is where Zuolong Men's Wear's flagship store is located.
"Brother Li, here's the thing about the cooperation: I'd like to make Shuxin Dry Cleaning Shop the dry cleaning after-sales service center for Zuolong Men's Clothing Flagship Store. What do you think?" Zhao Fei was now acting like a shrewd and capable businesswoman, and she was very clear-headed when it came to business.
"A dry cleaning after-sales service store? That's a good idea. Tell me your terms!" Li Jia understood Zhao Fei's meaning immediately. For Li Jia, this was a very good thing. If an agreement was reached, her fixed monthly income would at least double.
“It’s very simple. We can sign a one-month trial cooperation agreement first. During this month, I can provide a week of training on the key points and standards of Zuolong Men’s Dry Cleaning. There are two spots available. During this month, you will be in charge of all dry cleaning after-sales service in my store. If the customer satisfaction rate reaches 95% or higher within this month, we will sign a long-term contract. At the same time, I will promote your store name in the sales process. How about it?” Zhao Fei finished explaining her idea in one breath, then stopped and looked at Li Jia.
Li Jia naturally agreed with Zhao Fei's suggestion, since, as things stand, Shujia Dry Cleaning Shop wasn't losing out at all. "I can accept your suggestion. I think you've prepared the details of the costs, right? Tell me about them!"
“Hehe, of course. The usual dry cleaning fee for a set of cashmere clothing at Zuolong Men’s Clothing is between fifty and eighty yuan. During the agreement period, the standard fee for this type of suit is thirty yuan per set. This thirty yuan does not include any rebates provided by Zuolong…” Zhao Fei spoke eloquently, finishing her terms in one breath.
After listening, Li Jia smiled and said, "Let's put the money issue aside for now. I'm curious, how do you have so much power? Zuolong Men's Clothing should have its own dry cleaning after-sales service, right?"
"Hehe, what can I do? My dad owns Zuolong Men's Clothing." Zhao Fei said with a smug smile.
After hearing Zhao Fei's words, Li Jia's doubts completely disappeared. She had previously heard Chen Yi mention that Zhao Fei was also the daughter of a wealthy family, but she hadn't paid much attention to it until now.
“Alright, I agree. But you can discuss the specific details with Manager Meng later. She can fully represent Shuxin Dry Cleaning. Now, tell me your additional conditions!” Li Jia said with a smile, leaning back on the sofa, waiting for Zhao Fei’s conditions.
"Hehe, Brother Li, you're really smart. I haven't thought of the terms yet, so you owe me one thing for now, I promise it won't be illegal or against my conscience." Zhao Fei said, looking at Li Jia with a smug look. Her little scheme had finally come to fruition.
"Uh... okay, I've got it. You're very shrewd!" Li Jia said, then stood up and extended her hand, marking the end of the negotiation. Of course, Zhao Fei didn't forget to ask Li Jia for a business card before leaving, and also left Li Jia a high-quality, beautifully printed business card.
After Zhao Fei left, Meng Yao sat down in the rest area with a smile in her eyes. "Li Jia, that lady just now seemed to be the young owner of the Zuolong Men's Clothing flagship store!"
“You’re absolutely right.” Li Jia smiled and briefly explained to Meng Yao that Zuolong Men’s Clothing Flagship Store was going to cooperate with Shujia Dry Cleaning Store. She then handed over the details of the negotiations to Meng Yao. Li Jia wasn’t really good at this kind of thing, so she decided to leave it to the professionals.
After explaining everything, Li Jia went upstairs to the second floor and started working in the study. Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind: "Do I have something very important to do today?" She checked the time on her computer; it was April 16th. Li Jia was stunned when she saw the date. April 16th? Suddenly, she remembered Li Xiaotong. "That's right! It's Xiaotong's birthday!! I knew I'd been feeling like something very important was going on these past few days!"
Remembering what day it was, Li Jia quickly got dressed and went downstairs, heading straight to the vicinity of the university town. The most important thing, of course, was to buy a gift and a cake. After buying the gift, Li Jia drove to a Heineken cake shop near the university town, went inside, and chose a strawberry cake for 120 yuan. Half an hour later, Li Jia drove to Tianxiang Garden with the freshly made cake and parked her car in front of Building 19.
Then he quickly went up to the sixth floor and knocked on Li Xiaoqing's door.
