Chapter 74 - Looking for Merchandise (2)
Lo and behold, Lin Hui worked in the finance department of a textile factory, and those from the clothing factory needed to go there for their payments, so she did know a few of them. She even knew the addresses of their factories. Hearing that Shu Yan wanted to open up her own clothing store, Lin Hui said enviously, “It’s great to have a business of your own. You make more money that way and have more freedom. I have been wanting to do that for a while now, but my family wouldn’t agree to it. Sigh!”
The common viewpoint of those in the country was that the iron bowl was the best, especially the ones from the older generation. In their eyes, a stable job was the most important thing of all. Naturally, they’d not agree to Lin Hui quitting her job.
“There’s a few factories that work closely with us. I remember their addresses; let me write them down for you.” Lin Hui grabbed a piece of paper from Wang Yitong’s notebook and wrote down three addresses for her with a pencil. “There are a few more, but these three bosses were quite nice. Why don’t you go and check them out first?”
“Thank you so much. If I have to go look for these myself, it’d be so much more work,” said Shu Yan appreciatively.
Tomorrow was Saturday, but both children needed to go to the tutorial center. Tianbao’s place provided lunch as well, almost like kindergarten on the weekend. Ye Jingjing’s place didn’t include lunch. Shu Yan talked to one of her teachers and offered to pay them $10 a month for lunches for her children. It’s a fair price for lunches for 8 days.
After hearing Shu Yan’s request, a few of the other parents who had to work overtime also made the same request, to her surprise. Partly because they were very busy, partly also because the weather was so hot, going back and forth was tiring for them and for the children. Better to let the kids have their meals at the tutorial center and also take their naps there. They could just come and pick them up after work.
Naturally, the teachers were okay with that. It wasn’t much different cooking for one or for more, just a matter of cooking a little more rice and a couple more dishes. It wasn’t even a lot of work for 8 days out of a month, and that’s an additional $100 income. They accepted the request happily.
In this case, Shu Yan didn’t have to worry too much about her children on the weekend and have more time to herself. Even so, Shu Yan still felt that she just didn’t have enough time.
Take today for example, after taking the kids to the tutorial center, she needed to go check out the new house. The foreman said to have her go and sign off on it. Shu Yan also wanted the kitchen and patio to be half opened, so she needed to check on that in person. All in all, she needed to sign off on a lot of things before they could start work. She thought that would only take an hour or two, but it took her all the way to after 11 AM.
In the afternoon, she needed to go visit the addresses that Lin Hui had given to her the day before. She wanted to check out their clothing. If they were acceptable, she’d take some of them. All of the clothing factories were in the outskirts. Taxies already existed then, but they were also outrageously expensive.
