Chapter 156 Wen Xiaoni
A week passed quickly. On the day of the holiday, the parents of Lin Peipei and Su Tong came to pick them up. Li Jianguo and Liu Fen were going to come too, but after being persuaded by Li Haitang, she still had the cheek to take aunt wen's car back to the provincial city.
It was not until on the way back to the provincial capital that Wen Xiaoni found out that her son and daughter had opened a box and bag wholesale store at the wholesale market. She was so shocked that she almost died. "Xiao lin, how can you two keep such a big thing from your parents?"
Xia Lin curled his lips and said, "You guys are busy with work, so we didn't say this little thing bothers you. Besides, my brother and I didn't bother about it. Aunt Uncle liu and liu are helping us take care of it."
Aunt Uncle liu liu was their driver and nanny, a couple, and Uncle liu was a retired soldier in the army. She was loyal and upright. Aunt liu was smart and capable, and the business in the store was given a portion of the dividends to her, so she was very responsible for helping them manage the store.
"Is this a small matter?"
There was a rare look of surprise on Wen Xiaoni's face. Now that she thought about it, she suddenly realized that her son and daughter were always busy during the winter and summer holidays. She thought they were focused on their studies, but now it seemed that she really cared too little about them.
She did not object to them opening a shop, but instead supported them to develop in many ways. She was a little sad and said, "If you two brothers and sisters want to open a shop, mom and dad will support it. This shop needs a lot of capital. You should tell mom and dad."
Mom, my brother and I both have a lot of pocket money. Also, at the beginning, we only did small business. It was a clothing wholesale store invested by our four roommates. Li Haitang was a rich owner. Later in the luggage wholesale department, my brother and I got together and borrowed ten thousand yuan from Li Haitang."
Ten thousand is not a small amount, but she can borrow it all at once?
While driving, Wen Xiaoni looked back at Li Haitang, who was sitting in the back, "Have you paid back the money you borrowed from Li Haitang?"
Li Haitang smiled and said, "Auntie, the money has been paid back. Their luggage wholesale department is doing very well. It was only opened for more than two months before it was returned to me."
"Yes, mom, my two wholesale departments are doing very well. When we send Li Haitang back to the wholesale market, I'll take you there."
Xia Lin rarely showed her coquettish side in front of her mother. In fact, she wanted to tell her parents, but they were really busy with work, and she didn't want to bother them with these trivial things.
"Okay."
Wen Xiaoni curled her lips, which was a rare smile, and her voice softened, "Your brother is preparing for the postgraduate exam now. His studies are very heavy, but he drives out every day after lunch. I never knew what he was doing out there, but now I know. I must have gone to your wholesale department."
"Yes, business was very good before the new year. It happened that Yangcheng sent several goods over these days. My brother should have gone to check and accept them personally." As Xia Lin spoke, his eyes fell on the bag in her car. He smiled and said, "Mom, where did you buy this bag?"
"The big department store across from home."
"Hehe, mom, this bag was sold by my wholesale department." Xia Lin took it over and looked at it carefully, deliberately teasing her.
Wen Xiaoni was surprised again, "Really?"
"Really. I personally called and ordered this bag. This bag wasn't made in Yangcheng, but came from Port city. I only got 20 bags that time, and the purchase price was 160. I also specifically asked about the sales. Aunt liu said that it was all taken over by a big customer. Now it seems that the other party is most likely the owner of a department store."
Wen Xiaoni suddenly told her a cruel truth: "Mom bought it at the department store and spent $ 320."
Xia Lin: ..."
Listening to their conversation, Li Haitang burst into laughter and patted Xia Lin on the back of his shoulder, "Xia Lin, I told you a long time ago that you should tell aunt uncle what happened in the shop. Now you're going to get your mother into trouble." After a pause, he joked, "Maybe aunt Wen bought other suitcases and handbags from your shop."
Wen Xiaoni nodded slightly, "It's possible. I bought a lot of things at the department store across the street. I bought your father a briefcase there before I went to tan city."
Looking at Xia Lin's confused face, Li Haitang smiled even more happily and asked curiously, "Xia Lin, you do your own luggage business. Why don't you take some good quality and style from your own store and give them to aunt uncle?"
Xia Lin was a little angry, "I, I think there's an age gap. They might not like what I choose."
You silly child, no matter what gift you choose for your parents, they will like it very much. You see, you ordered this bag yourself. The taste is really good. It's exactly what mom likes." Wen Xiaoni's heart ached a little more. They really lacked concern for their children. They must reflect and make up for it in the future.
Xia Lin pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was going to change in the future. Although her parents were busy at work, they were also very concerned about them. It was time for her to try and rely on them a little.
"Xiao lin, you don't know. Mom bought this bag. The next day, when she went to work, the colleagues in the court surrounded her one by one and asked where they bought it. They all wanted to buy it. Then they took advantage of their lunch break to go to the department store, but they didn't have much. They only bought three. It's a pity that they didn't." Wen Xiaoni really didn't expect this to be sold in his daughter's store, and now he wanted to laugh.
A bag costs more than three hundred yuan, which is not cheap. It is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker for three months. Only those with high salary can afford it. Now that her mother had said that, Xia Lin covered her face with both hands and made a mistake.
"Haha..." Li Haitang laughed happily, but still gave her a suggestion, "Xia Lin, let me tell you. Don't put such high-end bags in bulk with cheap ones. You can actually rent a counter sale in a department store. If the same thing is placed in different places, its price will be completely different. I believe you understand the meaning of it."
Xia Lin's eyes were bright and he gave a thumbs-up, "Yes! Good idea!"
"Your goods are basically from Ling Miaoer's side. She should be able to get a lot of hong kong goods. You ask her to get you more bags, perfume, cosmetics, jewelry, milk powder and so on. The prices of the goods over there have always been high in our mainland, and they are very popular with rich people. There is no need to worry about selling them. Selling one will probably earn more money than selling 20 of them here." Whether now or decades later, people like to go shopping in Port city, which is a real shopping paradise.
"Talent!" Xia Lin gave her another word.
When Wen Xiaoni was driving, she took a serious look at Li Haitang through the rearview mirror. This female student was much better than her peers, and she didn't know what kind of family she was raised in.
When she got home and heard her daughter tell her everything about Li Haitang in detail, she, who had always been calm and rational, was shocked for a long time.
When Wen Xiaoni drove to the wholesale market, it was exactly 5: 30. They went to the Clothing wholesale division and stayed in the store for more than ten minutes before continuing to drive to the second phase of the project not far away. Coincidentally, they met Xia Jin who was checking the financial statements in the luggage wholesale department.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xia Jin was still wearing the blue down jacket he had always liked, with a smile on his handsome face.
Wen Xiaoni curled his lips and answered him as he walked through the relatively spacious shop, "Your brother and sister have done a great job of keeping secrets. They have opened such a big shop. Mom didn't know until today."
While the mother and son were chatting, Li Haitang and Xia Lin moved the suitcase out of the car. She looked at her watch and it was almost six o' clock. She went over to greet them, "Aunt Wen, brother xia, it's getting late. My shop is probably closing too. I'll go first."
"Okay, bye." Both mother and son turned around and smiled at her.
Li Haitang dragged his suitcase and waved happily at xia lin. "Xia Lin, I'm leaving. See you next year."
"See you next year!"
It was already a cold winter, and the north wind was blowing on his face like a knife. Although it had not started to snow, it was extremely cold and gloomy. However, she felt as if she had walked a hundred miles.
"Dad, aunt Fen."
Although it was not yet six o' clock, the door in the shop had been closed, and no one had come to order at this time. Li Haitang was carrying his luggage in one hand and knocking on the icy glass window with the other.
Li Jianguo and the others were sitting around the fire. Looking back, he saw Li Haitang in a thick cotton coat coming. He immediately got up and opened the door, "Haitang, come in." As she spoke, she reached out for her luggage.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Haitang felt warm. He rubbed his frozen face and smiled, "It's really cold outside. It's the warmest in the room."
Liu Fen had already got up to make tea for her and asked her, "Haitang, is it the car from xia lin's house that sent you out?"
"Well, her mother drove me back, and it's still in her luggage department." Li Haitang gathered his clothes and walked over to greet a circle of elders.
"Mei fang just came over and sat down. I heard that Xia Lin's brother went to her place to order a few catties of very expensive tea today." Liu Fen placed the large enamel cup in front of her and chatted with her casually.
"Oh, I heard from Xia Lin that both his father and brother like tea. I was the one who brought it to her before. This time, it should be her brother who bought it himself."
Liu Fen smiled at her strangely, "I heard from mei fang that brother Xia Lin is very handsome and not inferior to jiang Instructor."
Li Haitang thought her smile was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. She replied solemnly, "Xia Jin is very handsome and has the same personality as his sister. She is quite cold and aloof. She is a Fu da university student. She is now a graduate student majoring in law. She is also a super student."
"Oh, I heard that a lot of college students are dating at school. Does he have a partner?" Liu Fen's identity has changed, and her concern has changed. She's giving Li Haitang the right person to look out for in advance.
Li Haitang shook his head, "I don't know. I haven't asked xia lin. I'm not familiar with brother xia either. We just greet each other."
Liu fen nodded. It seemed that she and Xia Jin were just ordinary friends, but they were more familiar with jiang Instructor.
"Dad, aunt Fen, Li Tao and jin qiao didn't come?" Li Haitang was a little curious. They usually come here on vacation. Why didn't they come this time?
Liu Fen smiled and said, "No. The winter vacation was not long and the weather was especially cold. I told them not to come over. After jinqiao's holiday, Taoer went to tan city to pick her up and go to the village."
"Oh, this brother is quite sensible." Li Haitang raised an eyebrow. This kid is becoming more and more capable now.
