I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 405 The One Who Indulges Evil Thoughts

Hua Xing and Ren Dongsheng had no choice but to stay with Ling Lifeng, who refused to leave the product department.

Ling Lifeng works for Changjie Apparel. The owner of Changjie Apparel is his uncle, and he has done a very good job in product marketing in recent years.

Ling Lifeng focuses on online business.

Having originally studied new media, he devoted himself to various online promotions shortly after joining Changjie Apparel.

He has old classmates and acquaintances on various social media platforms and media organizations who help him attract traffic and make recommendations.

A few years ago, Changjie Apparel was not even as big as Laiyi, and Huaxing didn't take it seriously.

However, with the rise of online new media, Changjie's online sales have long surpassed offline sales.

Changjie Apparel thus surpassed Laiyi.

Ling Zhijian, the boss of Changjie, is very smart. Even though Changjie's clothing sales are soaring, he has not expanded the factory on a large scale.

Ling Zhijian chose to cooperate with a large factory like Laiyi, allowing Laiyi to help with contract manufacturing, which greatly saved his labor costs.

Before Qingque rose to prominence, Changjie was Laiyi's largest brand partner, and a large portion of the OEM business was handled by Changjie.

Once Qingque began to emerge and quickly made a name for itself, it became Laiyi's biggest brand owner, overshadowing Changjie.

Despite Hua Xing's frequent verbal attacks on his daughter in front of Ren Dongsheng and Wei Lin, he is incredibly proud when talking about his daughter, Hua Hongshan, in front of people he doesn't know very well.

It was because of his praise that Ling Lifeng learned about Qingque and that Qingque's boss was his daughter.

Before the fire that broke out in Qingque, Huaxing never mentioned it.

"President Hua told me about Zhuque. I thought there was only one boss. I didn't expect there to be President Wei as well."

Ling Lifeng's smile remained unchanged. His gaze swept casually over Wei Lin before settling back on Hua Hongshan's tall figure. He said, "Miss Hua, the Qingque sportswear looks even more beautiful and fitting on you than on that actress Li Qinling."

This wasn't just a compliment.

Li Qinling usually just runs and doesn't do any other sports. Hua Hongshan likes Pilates and yoga, and also rides a bike and plays tennis.

In terms of figure alone, she is indeed better than Li Qinling, and is also taller.

Qingque's yoga pants and simple sportswear, which accentuate her figure, make her radiate bright youthful vitality and give people an infinitely beautiful feeling.

Ling Lifeng secretly praised her, and many thoughts suddenly surged in his mind, his eyes always fixed on Hua Hongshan.

Changjie and Laiyi's cooperation was short-lived. By the time Ling Lifeng made contact with Laiyi, Hua Hongshan had already independently founded Qingque.

Because Qingque hadn't been very popular before, Huaxing hadn't mentioned his daughter to him. But as Qingque's popularity grew, Huaxing became quite proud and couldn't help but reveal Qingque and his daughter together.

Therefore, this was the first time Ling Lifeng had met Hua Hongshan, and he was immediately struck by her beauty.

Because of Huaxing's proud praise, he also secretly learned about Qingque. After learning about it, he found that Qingque was really powerful. In the past year, it has been conquering the market everywhere, and its sales have been rising one after another.

In Ling Lifeng's eyes, Laiyi was already past its prime and had no future.

Meanwhile, Qingque, founded by Hua Hongshan, is thriving and is expected to surpass Laiyi in a short period of time, becoming a giant in a niche market of the apparel industry.

"Mr. Ling, you're too kind."

Hua Hongshan gave a lukewarm response, then pulled Wei Lin to the product area of ​​the Qingque display, and introduced, "Winter is over, and during the transition from spring to summer, many people will choose to exercise outdoors. These new products are made of more breathable materials and have simpler designs. Come and take a look."

She introduced several new products for women and men to Wei Lin.

Wei Lin followed her, listening to her continuous introduction, and hardly interrupted.

Wei Lin didn't know much about clothing design. He was only in charge of product promotion at Qingque. The reason he came with Hua Hongshan was because he really didn't have anything else to do.

"The smear campaign against Li Qinling is over, and my recent promotional campaign has been very successful! Wei Lin, Qingque's sales this month are excellent!"

Hua Hongshan announced the good news with a light laugh.

She didn't care about Ling Lifeng at all, nor did she care about having such a person following her; she only wanted Wei Lin to know about her recent achievements.

"You can keep an eye on Qingque; you don't need to tell me everything."

Wei Lin touched a men's gray sports vest and felt that it seemed lighter and thinner than other brands, and it was covered with many small holes for ventilation.

“Send the men’s sportswear to Cong Ge to try on first. If he’s willing to wear it, then there’s no problem.”

"As for Sister Shushu, let her try the women's version. This couple is quite something."

Wei Lin said it casually.

Hua Hongshan smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me. I will send the new products to them as soon as they come out, as well as Li Qinling."

Wei Lin nodded: "That's good."

"Miss Hua, your Qingque designs are very innovative. I didn't expect that you designed them all independently."

Ling Lifeng followed her closely, listening to her detailed explanation to Wei Lin, and gradually realized that all of Qingque's products were actually made by Hua Hongshan.

This made him even more amazed by Hua Hongshan's abilities. Then, his gaze towards Wei Lin naturally carried a hint of disdain.

He could tell that Wei Lin knew absolutely nothing about clothing design, and showed no interest whatsoever; in fact, he seemed somewhat perfunctory and impatient.

At that moment, he felt that Qingque's achievements today were entirely due to Hua Hongshan's efforts.

Although Hua Hongshan pointed out Wei Lin's help, saying that Qingque's sales increased because of Wei Lin's participation, he only thought that Hua Hongshan was deliberately praising Wei Lin.

"This Mr. Wei probably just invested some money in Qingque Apparel, and he probably doesn't know anything else. He's just a guy who sits and waits to get his share of the profits. But he's really lucky; he stumbled upon Qingque by accident."

Ling Lifeng muttered to himself.

He thought Qingque's products were excellent in terms of both craftsmanship and design, and they are now selling well in the market.

Like Wei Lin, he was also optimistic about Qingque's future, except that he was optimistic after Qingque had gained momentum.

When Hua Xing talked to him about Qingque, he never mentioned that his daughter had another partner. He felt that Qingque's only boss was Hua Hongshan.

After observing Wei Lin for a while, Ling Lifeng noticed that Wei Lin seemed indifferent, didn't know much about design, and gave a rather perfunctory introduction to Hua Hongshan. He concluded that Wei Lin probably only owned a very small portion of Qingque's shares.

"Miss Hua is the big boss of Qingque, and also the heiress of Laiyi Clothing. Qingque has great potential, and she's not married..."

"Could Wei Lin have ulterior motives?"

"Changjie Clothing belongs to my uncle. My uncle also has a young son who hasn't graduated yet. Sooner or later, he will also join Changjie."

“I’ve worked my butt off at Changjie for so long, but my uncle still refuses to give me shares. I understand his thinking.”

“I come from a new media background and I have my own resources on various platforms. I have helped Changjie a lot.”

"Changjie, Laiyi, Qingque..."

Ling Lifeng's mind was working very quickly.

He followed Wei Lin and Hua Hongshan silently, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

After a moment, he finally couldn't hold back any longer. He smiled brightly at Wei Lin and said, "Mr. Wei, are you interested in selling your shares in Qingque?"

Upon hearing this, several people who knew the inside story were all taken aback.

Wei Lin couldn't help but chuckle.

Hua Xing's face darkened, and he said, "President Ling, this kind of joke is not to be taken lightly!"

He was well aware of Ling Lifeng's situation, but Ling Lifeng was completely unaware of Qingque and Wei Lin's situation, which is why he dared to be interested in Wei Lin's shares in Qingque.

Hua Xing secretly blamed himself, knowing that he also bore some responsibility.

If he hadn't misled Ling Lifeng, making Ling Lifeng mistakenly believe that Qingque belonged to his daughter Hua Hongshan and that Qingque's success today was all thanks to his daughter, Ling Lifeng would never have asked such a question.

Ling Zhijian, the boss of Huaxing and Changjie, is an old acquaintance. He knows that Ling Lifeng is just a nephew, not someone's biological son.

Since Ling Lifeng isn't the boss, the amount of money he can afford to take out should be quite limited.

On what grounds does he have to acquire Wei Lin's shares in Qingque?
Upon hearing this, Hua Hongshan wore a strange expression that was both amusing and exasperating. She didn't even bother to acknowledge Ling Lifeng and said with a smile, "Wei Lin, I see you're not interested either, so let's just leave early?"

Wei Lin smiled and nodded, then made a move to leave.

Ling Lifeng took a few quick steps and blocked Wei Lin's path, saying sincerely, "President Wei, I'm not joking! I really have high hopes for Qingque. I've done a good job promoting it on Changjie Online, and President Hua can vouch for that! Name your price, give me your shares, and I can take Qingque to another level!"

Wei Lin initially didn't want to talk to him, but seeing how sincere and earnest he was, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "How much capital do you have on hand?"

Ling Lifeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Several million is something I can afford! President Wei, what percentage of Qingque's shares do you own? Just name your price!"

Wei Lin grinned and asked Hua Hongshan, "What were Qingque's sales figures for the past month, and what was our gross profit?"

"The sales revenue is about 20 million, and the gross profit is about 4 million."

Hua Hongshan answered without hesitation, then explained, "Our material costs are still too high, accounting for more than half of our sales revenue. Alas, those merchants offer huge discounts, so we don't make much money at all."

As she spoke, her face betrayed her obvious joy.

In the past month alone, Qingque has earned more than four million yuan, and judging from the current trend, it will only continue to rise.

More than four million in January, but what about a year from now?

Wouldn't that cost forty or fifty million?

Hua Hongshan could laugh in her dreams at night just thinking about that number, so how could she possibly be interested in Ling Lifeng's few million?

"How much? Gross profit? Over four million? A month?"

Ling Lifeng looked as if he had misheard.
