Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 36 A new beginning

Looks like something big has happened!

"Don't rush! Don't rush! Let the bottle rest for a while!" Grandma Liu Yufen squeezed in and handed her a cup of hot water.

"It's alright," she said with a smile, taking a sip of water. "Tell me slowly."

It turns out that the batch of goods she supplied to Meisheng Department Store sold very well. Hundreds of pieces were snapped up on the very first day they hit the market, and even people from neighboring cities came to buy them!

Seeing that 280 pieces were simply not enough to sell, the manager of Meisheng contacted a friend in the county town, Dugen, who brought news that they urgently needed to restock.

"I understand." This was all within her expectations. "Tomorrow, we'll set off tomorrow."

It was already evening, and there was no time to do anything else. She needed to get a good night's rest before getting back to work.

Everyone was very happy. Liu Fen and Gu Youlian quickly set out the food, and the family ate and talked together.

Lin Qingping also took this opportunity to tell them her thoughts: "I will definitely make more and more money in the future, but there are risks and profits. I may make money, or I may lose everything. But I have decided to continue on this path. Sisters, you should think carefully about whether you want to come with me."

Gu Youlian hesitated for a moment, but Du Gen was resolute. "Go! We must go!"

"No need to rush into a decision. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Sister, I'll go with you," Lin Qingyun's voice rang out.

"Don't even think about it!" Lin Qingping said. "Have you forgotten what task I gave you? And Zhiyuan, have you finished your study assignments? I'll check them for you after you finish eating."

Zhiyuan: ? ? ?

He was having a peaceful meal without making a sound, so why did this pot fall from the sky?

Lin Qingping saw Xiaomai eating quietly again. "Xiaomai is going to school next year too. She can start learning with Zhiyuan now."

Gu Youlian smiled and said, "It's no big deal for a girl to start school a little late..."

"What's wrong with girls? Girls should also broaden their horizons, go out of the countryside to see the world, and go to university." Lin Qingping, who had been a CEO for decades in her previous life, spoke crisply and decisively, with an unquestionable air of authority. After she finished speaking, Gu Youlian and the others fell silent. In any case, they had already seen their sister-in-law's abilities, so let her go to school; it wasn't a bad thing.

After dinner, Lin Qingping actually checked the homework she had assigned to Lin Qingyun and Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan did not finish.

"What do you suggest we do?" Lin Qingping's attitude was very serious, so serious that even adults felt a little nervous.

Liu Fen tried to smooth things over, saying, "He's still so young. What child doesn't like to play? We can teach him slowly..."

“Mother, this isn’t about being too young or not. Children must be taught from a young age! Once a habit is formed, it can’t be corrected.” Lin Qingping looked at Zhiyuan. “Is a man who can’t keep his promises and doesn’t keep his word really a man?”

Liu Fen didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhiyuan lowered his head, took the homework back, and said, "I'll write it ten times."

"Go ahead." Lin Qingping estimated that with the amount of homework she assigned, it wouldn't take too long to write it ten times. The punishment wasn't the goal; the goal was to let Zhiyuan know that whatever he did, he had to bear the consequences.

Gu Youlian was a little intimidated by her sister-in-law's behavior after this incident, so she pulled Du Gen and Xiaomai back to rest and said they would come back early the next morning.

Liu Fen looked at Lin Qingping, and although she was feeling uneasy, she still pulled Lin Qingping aside to talk privately.

When asked, "Did you discuss having children with Chengzi during this trip?"

My mother-in-law is pressuring me to have a baby...

If it were her past life, she would be annoyed to death and would have to give her mother-in-law a good scolding. But in this life, she also wants a child, a child that belongs to her and Gu Juncheng.

But, does Gu Juncheng's mother-in-law not know about his situation?

Lin Qingping's mood instantly plummeted, but she still said to her mother-in-law, "Yes, I told you, we don't get to see each other often, let nature take its course."

Liu Fen was relieved to hear this. She thought, "Let nature take its course. It will happen eventually. The two of them are still young!"

Fearing her mother-in-law would ask more questions, Lin Qingping made an excuse to rest and went back to her room, where she took out some drawings to revise and redraw.

She had a successful career in her past life and was very particular about her clothes. She knew many fashion designers and designed clothes herself, but unfortunately, she was not a professional, so her drawings were not as professional as those of designers.

Lin Qingyun watched her draw, and he was also very curious.

Lin Qingping glanced at her. "Want to learn?"

"Mmm." Lin Qingyun wanted to help her sister, and her eyes lit up when she heard this.

Lin Qingping put the blueprints away. "Then study hard, go to university, learn the most professional skills, and then come help me. If you stay with me, you can only be a tailor. Only by going to university can you learn real skills and top-notch knowledge!"

No matter what my second sister wants to study in the future, she must first pass the school entrance exam!

Lin Qingyun blinked and stopped talking.

It seemed like she listened...

Go to sleep...

The next day, Du Gen and Gu Youlian arrived as promised. Lin Qingping, however, was in no hurry and even gave Zhiyuan a lesson in the morning before leaving.

The first place I went to was the garment factory, and I still went to the same sales manager.

This time, Lin Qingping wanted all of their inventory.

This gave the section chief a huge fright.

But Lin Qingping didn't intend to take all the goods; she proposed a collaboration.

In other words, she came up with a redesign plan, redesigned all the inventory clothes, and had the workers at the garment factory do the modifications.

Gu Youlian finally understood. Her sister-in-law meant that she wouldn't have to do any work anymore. So that's what it meant. They would hire workers to make changes. But then, what would she do?

Gu Youlian was confused.

But this deputy section chief wasn't very interested in this matter, thinking it would be too much trouble and that all the inventory of clothes would have to be altered.

Aren't you tired?

Regardless of how many clothes the garment factory sells or how many are returned, wages are still paid.

Lin Qingping laughed, "It seems I've come to the wrong person. I need to find your factory manager."

Section Chief Fu laughed too, "Our factory director isn't so easy to meet. Sales matters are under my management in sales."

"Okay, let me put it this way: I can make your factory price increase tenfold. Are you in? Can you make that decision? If not, I naturally have a way to find your factory manager. Do you think you can stop me?" Lin Qingping crossed her index fingers and placed a "T" in front of Section Chief Fu.

Section Chief Fu was shocked again, "You must be joking!"

"Okay, then I'll go find your factory manager!" Lin Qingping turned and left.

"Wait!" Section Chief Fu called out to her, "I'll take you there."

Section Chief Fu led them directly to the factory director's office.

The factory director was a middle-aged man in his forties surnamed Hu. He was quite humble, much better than the arrogant attitude of the deputy section chief at the beginning.

When Lin Qingping explained her purpose, the factory manager was also confused; no one had ever done this before!

Lin Qingping then said, "Look, you won't believe me even if I just talk. I only need one promise from you now. If I bring you the order contract, you will agree to start the project. If I don't have an order for you, just consider me as someone who came here to brag and make a fool of myself."
