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

Chapter 55 Chen Manyu

After this fever, time seemed to have been fast-forwarded.

Shen Qingqing swept through the preliminary and semi-finals of the city-level competition and entered the next round with first place. The final of the city-level competition was on the first day after the New Year's Day holiday.

Li Xunli also successfully submitted an extremely perfect answer to Yao Runyang three days before Christmas.

Five custom-made porcelains, and two sets of custom-made gradient-colored zodiac porcelains, with the final payment of 10,000 yuan.

Shen Rongzhou has also successfully passed the qualification certificate for transportation practitioners and received his first month's salary, a basic salary of 3,000 yuan, plus an additional commission of 1,800 yuan for additional sports car orders.

Li Xunjin's gift box company finally got on the right track to profitability. In addition to the five or six long-term customer bases of gift box orders brought by the original company's business, the gift boxes previously sold in conjunction with Wu Jingyuan's clothes also brought in long-term customer bases from a company with more than 100 employees in the provincial capital and two companies with more than 100 employees in Shenzhen.

Each company signed a three-year contract with Li Xunjin's company for various holiday gift boxes and annual meeting anniversary gift box orders.

Wu Jingyuan finally decided on the styles of the boutonnieres and buttons. There are three styles of buttons and six styles of boutonnieres. After discussing with Li Xunli, he signed a contract and confirmed that the delivery will be between early and mid-March. The remuneration will be paid at 20 percentage points of the transaction amount of the blind box clothes.

2006年已经有调休了，2007年的1月1日元旦正好连上了2006年十二月底的最后一个周末，而规定是2007年的1-3日放假，所以十二月底的那个周末是需要调休补课补班的。

December 2006, 12 was a Wednesday afternoon. When the teacher of the last class announced the end of get out of class, all grades cheered in unison.

However, New Year's Day is not a festival that requires the inheritance of traditional culture. Li Xunli went to the porcelain kiln as usual to prepare various accessories and pendants to be worn by Zhang Hengyun's troupe in early February. Shen Yangyang went to take a nap, and Shen Qingqing followed Li Xunli to the porcelain kiln.

When Li Xunli delivered the order to Yao Runyang last month, Zhang Hengyun finally confirmed the final number of accessories required for Li Xunli.

In order to have room for selection and matching, we finally decided to have a total of 200.

Li Xunli did a rough calculation and found that the two thousand yuan given by Zhang Hengyun was too much, so she wanted to return the money to her immediately.

However, Zhang Hengyun stopped her and asked Li Xunli to help her burn a few sets of fragile porcelain, so that they could be used for the porcelain-breaking scenes in the drama.

Because those sets of porcelain required imitations, after all the calculations, Li Xunli insisted on returning 600 yuan to Zhang Hengyun.

Today Li Xunli came to process the materials that would be better for making fragile porcelain, while Shen Qingqing continued to weave tassels.

When Zhang Hengyun proposed to make a few more sets of fragile porcelain, Li Xunli was very glad that she had made up her mind and bought various materials when she went to look at the materials to be prepared.

From the sorted raw materials, Li Xunli and Shen Qingqing took out the materials they needed and prepared to carry out the preliminary pounding process.

Because the pounding of materials made a loud noise, this small porcelain kiln was built far away from the village.

Li Xunli started with great enthusiasm.

Shen Qingqing sat in the patio and began to weave tassels. Not long after, she saw some shadows moving at the door out of the corner of her eye. She looked up and saw a person looking inside timidly.

Shen Qingqing immediately opened her mouth and shouted: "Mom! There's a strange person!"

Li Xunli immediately became alert, rolled up her sleeves and walked out aggressively, and Shen Qingqing followed behind Li Xunli.

The man at the door was startled when he heard Shen Qingqing's shout and immediately shrank back.

Li Xunli reached the door and grabbed the shovel. She stepped out and saw a person huddled in the corner with his head in his hands. "Manyu?" Li Xunli raised the shovel, but when she saw the person huddled in the corner, she stopped abruptly.

The man huddled in the corner shuddered when he heard someone calling his name. He then slowly raised his head and looked towards Li Xunli. After looking for a while, he hesitantly called out, "Auntie Li?"

"Oh, yes!" Li Xunli responded exaggeratedly and moved the shovel in her hand twice, scaring Chen Manyu so much that he hugged his head and shrank into the corner again.

Li Xunli quickly threw the shovel into the porcelain kiln, then walked over to Chen Manyu, bent down, and asked him, "Manyu, why are you here?"

Chen Manyu raised his head again and looked at Li Xunli. Seeing that she was no longer holding the shovel, she smiled gently again, and her timid expression relaxed a little. She put down her finger and pointed in the direction of their abandoned porcelain kiln: "Play!"

Chen Manyu's blue jacket was covered in dust and looked a bit dirty from playing in the abandoned porcelain kiln, but his overall mental state was okay, except that he was a little afraid of people.

Shen Qingqing poked her head out from behind Li Xunli and asked her mother, "Mom, who is this?"

Li Xunli said a few words to Shen Qingqing.

Chen Manyu is the grandson of an old potter in the village. The old potter's son and daughter-in-law died in an accident. At that time, the old couple was busy dealing with the funeral of their son and daughter-in-law. They did not notice that the ten-year-old Chen Manyu had a high fever due to excessive fright. By the time the old couple found him and sent him to the hospital, Chen Manyu had already died of fever.

Chen Manyu is already fifteen years old this year, but he still looks silly and dazed.

Li Xunli had always been a soft-hearted person who hated to see people in misery. She looked at Chen Manyu with some pity, reached out and pulled him up, took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped Chen Manyu's dirty face. "So what do you want to do by coming to see Aunt Li?"

"Auntie is pounding the ingredients. I can do it too! I'll help you!" Chen Manyu stood there obediently and let Li Xunli wipe his face with a shy smile.

Li Xunli then remembered that when Chen Manyu was still young and stupid, he had a great talent for making porcelain, especially tea sets.

Li Xunli didn't agree to his request, but asked, "Manyu, where are grandpa and grandma?"

Chen Manyu answered obediently, "Grandma is crocheting, and Grandpa went to buy vegetables."

Because the old porcelain craftsman was too old to make porcelain anymore, Grandma Chen took over the family's livelihood and helped some crochet factories. Occasionally, the old porcelain craftsman would ride a tricycle to help people transport waste to earn some extra money.

"Manyu! Manyu! Where have you been?!"

Li Xunli was just about to ask Chen Manyu's family if they knew he had run away when she heard an old female voice calling Chen Manyu's name.

Chen Manyu's eyes lit up, "It's grandma!"

After saying that, he ran away. Li Xunli couldn't catch him. In just a few blinks of an eye, Chen Manyu ran far away and stood with an old woman in a navy blue jacket.

Chen Manyu was talking to the old woman, pointing at Li Xunli from time to time.

Li Xunli thought Chen Manyu was telling the old man who he had met, so she waved at him from a distance and gave him a simple hello.

However, they didn't expect that after Li Xunli greeted them, Chen Manyu supported the old man and walked towards them.

The old man's legs and feet were still very strong, and he walked up to Li Xunli in a short while.
