Fang Hong saw Qin Xue return and asked, “Qin Xue is back, have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet, I didn’t even have time to eat before coming back. I was thinking about making some noodles to eat when I got back.”

Qin Xue put the things she bought on the kitchen table, and when she went to wash her hands, Fang Hong took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, waiting for her to come over and start the meal.

Qin Xue scooped up a bowl of soup, “Why are you guys eating so late?” And then she took a sip of soup.

“Oh, it’s nothing, after you left, business was pretty good.

People came because they heard our clothes were beautiful, and the trial period is over.

As you said, anyone who spends over US$200 in our store gets a 10% discount, and anyone who spends over US$300 gets a 20% discount, with lifetime validity.

Most of the customers today got the 10% discount, and a few got the 20% discount. Fang Hong helped me.”

Fang Xiu, with Taotao on her back, cooked the meal, and they were busy until just now.” Yu Xiu said while pinching some tofu.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect business would be so good.

When I used to run the store here, business was so slow. I never thought it would be so fulfilling and satisfying now.” Fang Xiu also sighed.

“Our good word-of-mouth will continue for a few more days, but then it won’t be as good.

But once our Chenxi Clothing brand becomes famous, we won’t have to worry about not having business, after all, only our clothes in the entire county are the latest styles.

But at the same time, people will follow suit, so we need to continually release new designs.

I went out today and found a clothing factory that I want to collaborate with, but whether it’s successful or not depends on our negotiations tomorrow. If the negotiations are successful, the income from selling clothes these past few days will have to be invested in it. Do you all agree?”

Although Qin Xue had the most investment, she still needed to ask for their opinions. The phenomenon of their partnership now was similar to a shareholder meeting in the future. The biggest taboo for a partnership is unclear accounts.

“Agreed, we’ll do whatever you say.” The three of them said unanimously.

They were all just contributing effort and not money, so what disagreement could they have?

Even if Qin Xue didn’t ask, they would have no objections. Not to mention that Qin Xue was openly discussing it with them now.

“That’s good. After we finish eating, I’ll write a plan proposal. Tomorrow I’m going to negotiate with their factory.” After Qin Xue finished speaking, they ate quietly.

After the meal, Yu Xiu washed the dishes, while Qin Xue wrote the proposal at the counter. Fang Hong made clothes, Fang Xiu fed the child, and each of them did their own thing, quietly and warmly.

Once Qin Xue got engrossed in something, it was hard for her to be distracted. She didn’t even notice that it had become dark outside until she had written the proposal and felt the soreness in her neck when she looked up.

The lights were on in the store, but they were the yellowish kind that wasn’t very bright.

Many places at this time still hadn’t even been electrified and still used oil lamps. Thankfully, this was a county town. If it was the countryside, there wouldn’t even be electricity available.

At this moment, she could hear children’s voices from next door. Little Jingtao didn’t know how to talk yet, so which child could it be?

Listening carefully, it seemed to be Jiajia’s voice. Qin Xue finished the last two points of her proposal, put it away in the drawer, and stood up to stretch.

She walked over to the next-door store and saw that Jiajia and Hu Zi had indeed come, playing with little Jingtao.

Fang Hong and Yu Xiu were preparing another meal, while Fang Xiu watched the children play.

“Fang Xiu, how did they get here? Who brought them?” Qin Xue asked Fang Xiu, pointing at Jiajia.

“Oh, you mean them? Mr. Xu sent someone to bring them over. He said that tomorrow is Saturday, so there’s no school, but he has to work and can’t watch the kids at home, so he sent them over.

If Yu Xiu doesn’t go back on Sunday evening, he’ll send someone to pick them up.” Fang Xiu also felt sorry for Mr. Xu.

Yu Xiu had been staying with them and not going home for the past week, and she couldn’t take care of the children either.

“Oh, I see. I guess the children must be missing their mom, and tomorrow is Sunday, so that’s why they were sent over.

That’s one reason, and another is that Mr. Xu misses Yu Xiu but has work to do, so he wants her to go home and see him after he sent the kids over.”

Originally, Qin Xue thought about letting Yu Xiu, who had young children, leave early in the afternoon to return to the research institute. But Yu Xiu insisted on staying with them at the store, which is why the children came to find her now..
