That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 749 She is almost cheating on others
Li Ye took Sang Xiaomin home. His sister Li Juan asked in surprise, "Hey, Sang Xiaomin, why are you here?"

Sang Xiaomin said awkwardly: "I asked your brother Li Ying to bring me in."

Li Ye smiled and asked Li Juan: "Why, do you two know each other?"

Li Juan nodded and said, "She is Xiaoying's classmate. Xiaoying often asked her to help her sell clothes. I even criticized Xiaoying for delaying her studies."

Sang Xiaomin quickly said: "No, no, I'm stupid and my grades have always been bad. It's useless to go to school. It was Li Ying who helped me."

Well! Li Ye heard the conversation between the two girls and knew that Sang Xiaomin was an employee trained by her younger sister Li Ying.

"Xiaojuan, please help entertain them. I'm going to call Hong Kong Island. I don't know if the line is busy today."

Li Ye arranged for Li Juan to entertain Sang Xiaomin while he went to make the call himself.

In 1987, cross-border calls were still difficult to make, especially from the mainland. It was normal for calls not to go through in half an hour, and it was not surprising if calls could not go through in an hour.

Sang Xiaomin, who was asked to sit on the sofa, felt very uncomfortable.

Although her grandmother Wu Juying kindly advised her to eat fruits and drink beverages, she just swallowed her saliva quietly and did not touch the snacks in front of her.

However, Li Ye noticed that Sang Xiaomin always secretly looked at Jiang Xiaoyan, Hu Man and others. It was obvious that this stupid "bad student" was full of envy for these college graduates.

After a long time, the call to Hong Kong Island finally got through, and my sister Li Ying's Cantonese accent came from the other end.

"Hello? Lei Hebingwei?"

"I am your brother!"

"."

"Oh, brother! Didn't you just call me last night? Why are you calling me again?"

"Is it not possible to check on him?"

Li Ye cursed with a smile, then said, "You have a classmate named Sang Xiaomin, who is here to give you an account. Do you want to say a few words to her?"

When Li Ying heard someone was sending her money, she immediately perked up and asked with a grin, "Has Sang Xiaomin come to pay the bill? I was worried that she wouldn't be able to make it after I left! How much money did she make in the past two months?"

"I brought her to our house, you can ask her yourself!"

Li Ye waved at Sang Xiaomin, and the girl hurried over and picked up the phone nervously.

Seeing her pressing the receiver tightly against her ear, Li Ye guessed that this was the first time the little girl had made a phone call in her life.

"Hello, is this Xiaoying? I'm here to give the account. I made a total of 416. I don't have any inventory left. Boss Qiu gave us the best-selling styles. I don't have any left."

Anyone who has worked in e-commerce in later generations knows that the toy and clothing industries are the most deceptive. A problem of overstocking can crush people to death. Fifteen percent of the overstock is still tolerable, but thirty percent is the end of the world!

Thanks to the market demand in the mainland in 1986 and the fashionable styles that Xiao Qiu specially prepared for Sang Xiaomin, there was no inventory backlog in the business between Sang Xiaomin and Li Ying, and every sale was pure profit.

Li Ying might have been bored in Hong Kong Island. She finally managed to strike up a conversation with a fellow villager and kept talking to Sang Xiaomin in plain language. It was not until Sang Xiaomin asked weakly, "The phone bill must be expensive, right?" that she stopped talking on the phone for so long.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Min, you have only been working for two months and have achieved such results. You are really a genius. I will talk to my brother later about expanding our business. Please remember my number and you can call me monthly. We don't mind the phone bill."

My goodness! Li Ye was almost speechless.

His hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he heard Li Ying's words clearly. If he didn't know that Li Ying and Sang Xiaomin split the profits 40% and 60%, he would have thought that Li Ying had no conscience and was just like the boss who had promised him a lot in his previous life.

The people from the Li family and Li Ye’s classmates were also quietly listening to Sang Xiaomin’s words.

Li Kaijian poked Li Ye's arm, pulled Li Ye aside and asked him what was going on.

Li Ye did not hide it completely, but just said that Li Ying handed over her small business to Sang Xiaomin. Li Ying provided the capital and purchasing channels, and took a small share, while Sang Xiaomin still made the bulk of the profit.

Li Kaijian frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense! I thought she would be able to study hard after she came to Hong Kong Island to broaden her horizons! But she is still so petty and spends every penny she spends on."

Li Ye glanced at his cheap dad and said jokingly, "I don't think Xiaoying is petty. Besides, how do you know this is a small business?"

"What? Could it be another 8,000?"

"Isn't Han Chunlan doing a business worth tens of thousands of dollars now?" Han Chunlan and her husband have been selling clothes for four years, and their net worth has long exceeded six figures. To say that the business is worth tens of thousands of dollars is an understatement.

Li Kaijian glared and said, "How can they be the same? They are two adults and very smart, while Xiaoying and her classmate are just two children."

"Ha~"

Li Ye smiled and said nothing.

Sang Xiaomin dropped out of school at the age of fifteen or sixteen and stayed at home. She had not even grown up yet, so it was not surprising that Li Kaijian looked down on her as a "child".

However, Sang Xiaomin has the support of this era where even pigs can fly, and the care of Xiao Qiu, the channel tycoon of Pengcheng Seven Factory. As long as she has the right guidance and does not go wrong in her route, her future will surely be bright.

After all, many billionaires in later generations may not have the same starting conditions as Sang Xiaomin!
"Brother, Xiaoying asked you to answer the phone?"

Li Juan suddenly leaned over and called Li Ye to answer the phone.

Li Ye picked up the phone, and Li Ying on the other end said as if to "report her success": "Brother, I ranked ninth in the class in the final exam this time!"

"That's great, not bad, not bad, you must keep working hard! I told you, Xiaoying, you are very smart."

While Li Ye praised her, he was wondering in his heart what his sister was up to.

They talked on the phone yesterday on New Year's Eve, but Li Ying did not tell Li Ye the good news.

Sure enough, after receiving Li Ye's praise, Li Ying took the opportunity to say, "Brother, you said before that if I could get into the top ten, you would buy me a 130 and hire a guy to sell clothes at the market."

Li Ye smacked his lips and said with a smile: "That's true, but I was talking about the top ten in the whole grade, right?"

"."

Li Ying was silent for a moment, then said pitifully: "Brother, I'm thousands of miles away from home, and it's hard to survive without money in my pocket~"

Li Ye was stunned and asked in confusion: "You don't have any money in your pocket? Didn't I ask someone to transfer money to you? Didn't our father also give you money? How come you are short of money?"

"My mother keeps the money and doesn't let me spend it! Brother, my mother only gives me ten yuan a week. My classmates here are so snobbish. I can't even afford a milk tea and I'm always laughed at."

"."

Li Ye finally understood that after Li Ying arrived in Hong Kong Island, her life was even worse than in Qingshui County.

In 1986, if you had 10 dollars of pocket money every week in the mainland, you would be a small rich man, but in Hong Kong Island,
Especially since Li Ying is a child from the mainland, isn’t it impossible to wash off the label of poverty?
"Okay! I'll get you a 130 and a driver, but what do you do with the money after you make it? You're not even yet, so I can't just wire it to you."

"Don't worry about it. I've already thought about it," Li Ying said excitedly, "I'll have Sang Xiaomin remit the money to Jin Peng's sister-in-law. She has someone with an account in Pengcheng, and then I'll find someone to exchange it for Hong Kong dollars."

"."

Li Ye sighed and said sincerely: "Xiaoying! You are really smart. If you work harder in your studies, you can easily be in the top ten in the class."

"Yes, yes, brother, please help me with this matter first, and then I will help you get into the top ten in the grade."

Li Ying agreed readily and hung up the phone.

Then Li Ye pulled Li Kaijian aside and said, "Dad, call Hong Kong Island later. Xiaoying's pocket money is too little. Ten dollars a week. Do you think it's the same as in the mainland? Whoever is poor is right?"

"And I told you that this daughter must be raised in wealth, otherwise when she is old enough to find a husband, someone will just buy her a few ice creams and trick her away."

"Come on! Xiaoying is very smart! She can fool others, but she has fooled you, hasn't she?"

Li Kaijian said unhappily, "Besides, when did I ever let her suffer from poverty? Xiaoying is now picked up by a driver, and has the best clothes and school supplies. How can she be poor?"

"Xiao Ye, do you know that Hong Kong is a world of debauchery? People will be distracted if they have money in their pockets. Her mother controls her pocket money so that she can concentrate on her studies."

Li Ye said, "Xiaoying's studies have been pretty good over the past two years! She just told me that she ranked ninth in the class in the final exam!"

Li Kaijian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Did she tell you that there are only eleven people in her class? She is the ninth and the third from the bottom."

[Oh my god, that was so careless! ]
