With a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, the man took the keys from her hand, his eyes revealing a puzzled look. But Jiang Yu's nonchalant attitude only fueled his curiosity.
When he handed it to the man he called "Brother Jing," the man gave a brief explanation. Following his boss's instructions, he stepped over the chair and walked towards the door.
*Snap.*
With the man's twist, the shop door swung open. Everyone turned to look at Jiang Yu, waiting for their leader to speak.
Seeing this, Su Yujing, who was being blocked by the crowd, gave a signal and surrounded her.
Judging from the situation, it looks quite dangerous. Jiang Yu regretted her impulsiveness earlier and pondered how to deal with it.
This is a public place, after all; they shouldn't go too far. Hoping for the best, Jiang Yu took a deep breath and waited to see what these people would do next.
"I heard you've partnered with the military and secured the contract for the performance costumes for this year's cultural troupe? What, do you think you're so powerful that you dare to steal business from Qingyun Garment Factory?"
The man's voice seemed familiar. Before Jiang Yu could figure out where the sound was, she heard the name 'Qingyun' and the image of turning the pages of a book came vividly to mind.
Wait a minute, isn't this the most famous clothing factory in the city that the author wrote about? Later, because it provoked a rising new power, it suffered a particularly terrible fate.
However, this has little to do with his business model; rather, it's similar to the previous store owner who went bankrupt. His long-term lack of innovation and failure to keep up with the times was already a serious problem. Those who later nitpicked were simply the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Su Yujing deliberately flicked a stray hair from her forehead, looking exceptionally cool. Then she took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate features.
He was visibly taken aback when he saw the woman's face clearly. He had never imagined that the woman competing with him for business was the same person who had gone to Su's Fabric Shop to buy goods yesterday.
Thinking of what she said, he stared at the woman with a playful look and couldn't help but smile.
"What a coincidence?"
Those around him, judging from the meaning behind the boss's words, guessed it was some old flame, or at least someone they knew, and felt that they shouldn't need to make a big fuss.
Jiang Yu was also surprised to find that this person was actually the young master of Su's Fabric Company, and she felt relieved. For some reason, even though Su Wan had mentioned his 'great achievements' yesterday, she didn't find this person particularly scary.
He's nothing more than a spoiled brat, not really that evil at heart.
"I didn't expect to run into the young master of the Su family here. What a coincidence!"
In this business circle, as long as there is a conflict of interest between the two parties, things shouldn't escalate too much. Jiang Yu believed that there was no overt animosity between her and Su Ji, and that they should be able to resolve things amicably.
"I just don't know why we came here."
Jiang Yu pretended to be confused, knowing the truth, and asked in return.
"It's nothing, I just checked if your shop is short of fabric. If not, I'll send someone to deliver some more. Also, I heard that your clothing store has already started doing business with the military since it opened, so I came here specifically to learn from them."
Su Yujing is a man who cares about his reputation. If word got out that he, a grown man, was making things difficult for a young girl, he would be laughed at to death.
The group: '???'
Today, the boss acted inexplicably; they couldn't keep up at all, nor did they understand if there was a deeper meaning in his words. They simply didn't grasp it.
Jiang Yu didn't expose him and walked into the shop. Su Yujing waved her hand and instructed her followers to move the chairs away so they wouldn't block her shop entrance.
The people around him scratched their heads, not understanding at all, but still did as he was told.
"Boss, shall we not cause her any trouble, but let her know how powerful Qingyun Garment Factory is?"
Da Shuan, Su Yujing's longtime henchman, warned him, worried that he might become distracted by a woman's looks and neglect his duties.
"Shut up."
Su Yujing turned her head and scolded him softly, wishing she could shut him up. When she turned and followed him into Jiang Yu's shop, she changed her demeanor and became extremely kind.
The samples in the store were still displayed on the wall, neatly arranged. Su Yujing looked at the small store and saw that the clothes hanging there didn't look tacky like those in other stores, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of approval.
"Comrade, did you make all these clothes?"
Su Yujing started to make his own calculations. If this woman didn't have some skills, she wouldn't be able to poach his regular customers from his clothing factory. Besides, her shop, in terms of both equipment and decoration, was different from the others.
If that's the case, why doesn't he poach this woman to work in the garment factory? He could earn a considerable income just from the samples on the wall.
"certainly."
Jiang Yu was tidying up her sewing machine while answering his question, without even looking up, which displeased Ershuan. Who was his boss? He was the young master of the Su family; even the mayor would avoid him.
The woman not only failed to answer the questions respectfully, but her attitude was also very perfunctory.
Just as he was about to speak up to save face for his boss, Su Yujing asked again, his eyes brimming with undisguised enthusiasm.
"You probably already know who I am: the young master of Su's Fabric Company and the founder of Qingyun Garment Factory. Since we're so destined to meet, let's get to know each other again. My name is Su Yujing. Would this comrade be interested in working at Qingyun Garment Factory?"
You'll only need to draw up blueprints and make samples in the office. This will save you the trouble of making them one by one here, which is time-consuming, laborious, and doesn't earn you much money. Of course, the salary is negotiable.
Su Yujing wasn't just talking; in his view, the clothing styles in the factory were all popular designs on the market. If he wanted to expand the factory, that alone wouldn't be enough. He needed not only mass production but also good designs.
Jiang Yu initially thought he was joking, but looking at the other person's sincere expression, she felt a strange mix of emotions. Establishing her own clothing brand was something that this single store couldn't possibly achieve.
She thought it better to develop her career at Su Yujing's garment factory; she understood the principle of having a powerful backer.
"Is Young Master Su really planning to let me work in the factory?"
Jiang Yu was seriously considering this matter, so she put down her work and focused on talking to the man in front of her.
"Of course, I, Su Yujing, keep my word."
"In that case, I must state my requirements. First, I must continue to keep this clothing store open. Of course, I may then publicize that we have a cooperative relationship with Qingyun Clothing Factory."
In addition, I want 10% of the company's shares. And for every new article I publish, I need to get a 2% commission on sales.
Jiang Yu was confident she could help Qingyun grow bigger and stronger, and of course, she could also make money from this negotiation. It all depended on whether the other party was sincere.
"this..."
Su Yujing had never done this kind of business before. In his view, this was not hiring her as an employee with a high salary, but rather investing in her.
However, this investment isn't in the form of money, but rather in the form of technology.
