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

Chapter 29: You can only do three at most
Early in the morning, Shen Qingqing was woken up by Li Xunli, who said that she had to visit someone else's house and couldn't go too late, otherwise it would be impolite.

Just when she finished washing up and was about to have breakfast, she received a call from Chen Man, who excitedly asked her when she could come to her house.

Shen Qingqing looked up at the clock on the wall. It was a little after eight or nine. She silently turned her head to look at her mother and asked, "Mom, Manman asked when we can go to her house?"

Li Xunli also glanced at the clock, estimated it, and replied, "It should be around nine o'clock, a little after nine."

Shen Qingqing understood very well and reported a little more: "Three will arrive at nine o'clock!"

Chen Man excitedly agreed and said she would prepare some snacks for them.

Under Li Xunli's repeated urging, Shen Qingqing finally finished her breakfast and walked out of the house.

Shen Qingqing and Shen Rongzhou were the only ones in the family who had been to Chen Man's house. Shen Rongzhou had memorized the route the last time he went there, so that if his daughter wanted to visit a friend's house in the future, he could take her there.

Wouldn’t this come in handy?

It was October and the daytime was already hot and humid. The family squeezed onto a motorcycle and drove towards Chen Man's house.

Shen Qingqing looked at the cars on the road with some envy. Although she was prone to motion sickness, it did not prevent her from wanting a more comfortable travel environment.

We still have to work hard and try to buy a car for our family as soon as possible!
Finally, before Shen Qingqing was blown to tears by the wind, they arrived at Chen Man's house.

Chen Man was waiting at the door early like last time. This time, Shen Qingqing was sitting at the front of the motorcycle, and Chen Man could see her at a glance.

"Qingqing!" Chen Man waved at her impatiently.

The car roared to a stop not far from her, and Shen Qingqing jumped off the motorcycle and hugged her little sister.

After Chen Man let her go, she obediently greeted Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli who were left behind.

It was no surprise that Shen Yangyang called Chen Man "sister", after all, this sister had visited their house before.

"Let's go, Qingqing! My dad and Uncle Lin are waiting at home!" Chen Man took Shen Qingqing's hand and whispered in her ear, "But there are one or two uncles I don't know here. They are probably here to discuss business with my dad. We don't need to worry about them."

After Shen Qingqing heard what she said, she noticed that there were several cars parked outside Chen Man's house.

She turned around and looked at the two wooden boxes in her father's hands, thinking, I think it should be possible to keep them, right?

"Manman! Have your classmates and her parents arrived?" Chen Man's mother's voice came from inside along with the sound of footsteps. Soon, a woman in cheongsam came out.

"Oh, you're here! Come in, come in! We were just talking about Qingqing's mother's porcelain!" When Chen Man's mother saw Shen Qingqing's family following Chen Man, a kind smile broke out on her face, and she hurried over to lead the way.

As soon as I entered, I heard Chen Yanfeng's voice saying with a smile, "Old Yao, if you speak of the devil, here he comes. The person you want to see is here."

Shen Rongzhou also saw Zhang Zeqin sitting in the living room at the first moment, nodded and greeted him.

The three children were assigned to play together, but Chen Man's set of porcelain figurines was still placed in front of the adults, so they could only stand by and wait. If they were all family members, Chen Man would have taken them directly, but since there were outsiders, Chen Man felt embarrassed.

The partner Chen Yanfeng called "Old Yao" smiled broadly, stood up, and shook hands with Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli. "Hello, both of you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yao Runyang. I won't waste any more time on this. Ms. Li, where are the samples you brought?"

Li Xunli didn't even have time to greet the people in the room when Yao Runyang came over and asked her for samples. She didn't even bother to greet others and quickly took the two wooden boxes from Shen Rongzhou. "The peach blossom set is the same one I gave to Manman. It was made more than ten years ago. The willow leaf set is a sample. Mr. Yao, you can take a look and compare them. If you think they are acceptable, please give them a try."

"Okay, let me take a look!" Yao Runyang took the two wooden boxes and sat back.

The other two bosses seemed to know that Yao Runyang had been looking for people to make custom porcelain recently, and they also came over to see the two sets of small porcelain of the twelve zodiac animals that Yao Runyang had opened.

Li Xunli grabbed Shen Rongzhou's arm nervously.

"Oh? It looks very exquisite!" said one of the two bosses who came over to take a look.

Yao Runyang's expression was rather serious. He remembered what Li Xunli had just said. He put down the peach-colored small box and picked up one of the willow-leaf-colored boxes to examine it carefully.

Then he put it down again and picked up another one. After he had examined all twelve, he gently put the porcelain back and looked at Li Xunli solemnly. "Ms. Li, I've seen the samples. I can see that they are indeed a little rusty, but in terms of exquisiteness, your craftsmanship meets my requirements very well. So, I hope you can take my order for these five custom porcelains. The base price is 2000 yuan per piece. I strive to make them exquisite and lifelike. Do you think you can do it?"

Shen Qingqing's little head suddenly perked up. How much?
2000 each?! So five of them would be 1!

Didn’t you say it was still 8000 last time?
Shen Qingqing immediately looked at her mother eagerly, and sure enough, she saw that her mother also looked frightened.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yao, can I see the sample drawings of the porcelain you want to order first? If it's too difficult, I may not be able to complete it for you on time and in the required quantity." Li Xunli suppressed the shock in her heart and expressed her request very clearly.

Yao Runyang immediately said, "Okay! I brought it today!"

As he spoke, he took out a rolled-up drawing from the bag at his feet, slowly unfolded it, and handed it to Li Xunli to see.

It couldn't be seen from the direction where Shen Qingqing was standing, so she pulled Chen Man and Shen Yangyang to her mother's side and saw the appearance on the drawing clearly.

It was a trophy with a somewhat strange shape, but Shen Qingqing didn't know what competition the trophy was for.

And since it is an oil painting, there are of course no clear lines, only the changes in light and dark between the blending of watercolors.

It looks very clear, but it is quite difficult to make it into ceramic.

After reading it, Li Xunli didn't say whether she could take it or not. Instead, she asked, "Boss Yao, what about the others?"

Yao Runyang handed her the remaining four paintings.

After carefully examining each one, Li Xunli let out a long sigh and said to Yao Runyang sincerely, "I'm sorry, Boss Yao, I can't make five before Christmas in December. I can only make three at most."
