Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 28 Willow Leaf Color Zodiac

Wu Jingyuan spent the entire afternoon immersed in conversation with Shen Qingqing.

But except for what Shen Qingqing said at the beginning, Wu Jingyuan was basically inspired and discussed with Shen Qingqing later.

Shen Qingqing knew nothing about how to make clothes, but she had seen a lot of beautiful clothes!

As long as it conforms to the fashion characteristics of this era, even if it is a clothing style from 2020, it can sell well in this era!

Seeing Wu Jingyuan immersed in the thought of how to redesign the clothes, Shen Qingqing secretly looked up at Li Xunjin, "Uncle, how much money did you invest in Uncle Jingyuan's company?"

Li Xunjin smiled and said, "I invested as much as I earned from stocks."

Shen Qingqing's eyes widened immediately. Tens of thousands! He just gave it all away like that!
As if he understood what Shen Qingqing was thinking, Li Xunjin pinched her nose and said, "This money was originally extra money. When your uncle Jingyuan borrowed money from my uncle several years ago, he used the money earned by his own company. Although my uncle paid it back in time later, we must remember this kindness in our hearts."

Shen Qingqing recalled some incidents reported in later media news about friends borrowing money from each other and not paying it back, or being deceived into pyramid schemes, and felt that people in this era were still simple and honest. Friends were friends, not acquaintances who were always thinking about how to cheat them.

Soon, Wu Jingyuan's problem was solved, and what remained was for him to do the specific operations himself.

But Li Xunjin did talk to him about something else, "Jingyuan, where are you going with me next week?"

Wu Jingyuan put away the clothes, carefully avoiding the newly drawn white lines on the clothes and folded them up, then looked at Li Xunjin: "What are you going to do?"

"Go and have a look at the market, see how other people sell their goods, and learn the ways of the big cities." Li Xunjin answered him.

When Shen Qingqing heard this, she immediately became excited. Her uncle was going to see how to open a gift company!
But soon, she became discouraged again. She also wanted to go, but it was obvious that this was impossible because she still had to go to school and there were still ten days until National Day!
These words gave Wu Jingyuan some advice, "Okay, let's go together. I'll also go to the big cities to see what styles of clothes are available and how they are sold."

"Uncle, how long will you be gone?" Shen Qingqing looked up and asked.

"It's hard to say. I'll come back when I finish visiting several cities." Li Xunjin thought for a while and replied to her.

Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, "Will I miss the National Day holiday? If I come back before the National Day holiday, what if I can't buy a train ticket?"

"Since I can't come back before National Day, it's a good opportunity for me to see how other people sell things during holidays. Otherwise, why do you think my uncle chose to go out for inspection at the end of the month?" Li Xunjin laughed.

Shen Qingqing understood and stopped worrying about it immediately.

Time passed quickly, and the set of porcelain that Li Xunli was making to be used as samples was almost finished.

Every night when Shen Qingqing was free, she would ask her father to take her to the porcelain kiln to watch the whole process of her mother making porcelain.

Watching that pile of sticky clay transform from a sticky lump into one sticky little animal after another, then being dried in the shade, fired, glazed, and fired again...

The day before National Day, another set of twelve zodiac animal figurines was finally completed, this time in willow-leaf color. Shen Qingqing returned home with her parents, carrying both sets. She invited Shen Yangyang to help her arrange all twenty-four animals on the coffee table.

If you look closely, you can actually see the difference, but the difference is very subtle, more like the accumulation of years.

The expressions of the two sets of animals are also different. The peach-colored one is very lively, while the willow-leaf-colored one appears more quiet.

Shen Qingqing suddenly felt a little reluctant and looked at her mother eagerly: "Mom, this is just a sample, right? We are going to Uncle Chen's house tomorrow, and we can take it back after showing it to that stranger uncle, right?"

Li Xunli laughed: "During the holidays, when you visit Uncle Chen's house, don't you have to give him a gift?"

Shen Qingqing revealed her mask of pain. She felt her heart bleeding. She also wanted these two sets of the twelve zodiac animals.

If she didn't want to give it away, she could tell her mother that she and Shen Yangyang would each get one. Shen Yangyang was young and didn't understand these things, so she would have both sets in the end!
But Uncle Chen is Mr. Zhang's brother-in-law, so I really can't go to his house on National Day without giving him a gift...

Perhaps it was because Shen Qingqing's expression of pain was too obvious, Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli couldn't help laughing when they saw it, and the couple supported each other and laughed uncontrollably.

"Mom was just kidding! Mom and Dad have prepared the gifts for your Uncle Chen's family. If you like these two sets of the twelve zodiac animals, I'll give them both to you, okay?" Li Xunli laughed enough before telling Shen Qingqing the truth.

Shen Qingqing, who was teased, heard that both sets could be given to her. She didn't mind being teased at all and nodded immediately, "Okay, okay!"

She was afraid that the two sets of porcelain would no longer belong to her in the next second.

This set consists of twelve different small porcelain pieces. The moment Shen Qingqing saw it, she was reminded of the live streaming hosts in the later generations, especially those voice room hosts who showed half of their bodies. They would always put some cute little ornaments on their desks.

Some may be their own Q-version images, some may be their animal sculptures, and some are just beautiful ornaments. Isn’t this also one of her mother’s future sales directions!
There are also some car-mounted ornaments, some symbolizing peace and some symbolizing wealth.

She thought happily, and then said to her mother, "Mom, you can also make a few small porcelain pieces for uncle that represent peace and prosperity, or great wealth, and let him put them in his car or on his desk. Who knows, some of the bosses who interact with uncle more often might take a fancy to them!"

People in Chaocheng still believe in these things.

Although Li Xunli did not believe what her daughter said that this kind of ornament might be favored by other bosses, she believed it and decided to burn two such ornaments with good meanings for her brother.

"You have a point. When I have time these two days, I will make two for your uncle. He often drives around and has company matters, so he needs these. Then I can take them to Mazu for blessing."

As she spoke, she sighed again, "I don't know how your uncle's business trip is going, and when he will be back. It's been so long..."

Shen Qingqing blinked and didn't continue the conversation.

After all, no one knows that their uncle is planning to transform the company except the uncle and nephew!
Before going to bed at night, Shen Qingqing touched this and that and put the small porcelain pieces into the small wooden box one by one. In the blink of an eye, it was National Day.

　See you tomorrow night~
