People who work for a living naturally hope to earn more money. With Fang Pingying’s policy, it ignited their desire to make more money. Since then, they not only completed more work, but the clothes they made became much more refined because if 50 cents were deducted from a piece of clothing, it could amount to tens of dollars in a month, which would really be a significant loss. As a result, there was hardly any need for Fang Pingying and her team to manage the tailors. They just needed to keep track of how much fabric was brought in and how many garments could be made from it, to prevent the tailors from skimping on material or reducing the quality of work. After spending an afternoon here, checking the garment factory, and reconciling accounts with Juzi, Fang Pingying also asked Juzi to draw several new clothing designs. When it was nearly the end of the afternoon, Fang Pingying saw that it was getting late and that she needed to head back early to cook, so she called Juzi to go home with her. Coincidentally, just as they were about to leave, they ran into Tingting face to face. Tingting was shouting to Liu Fengsheng following behind her, "Dad, let’s go to this shop. My classmates all say the styles of clothes here are really nice." Fang Pingying, surprised to see Tingting in front of her, exclaimed, "Tingting!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel_fіre.net Tingting, who did not expect to encounter Fang Pingying here, laughed and took Fang Pingying’s arm, asking with extreme surprise, "Sister Fang, are you here to buy clothes at this shop too?" Fang Pingying laughed and said, "I own this shop, you know?" "This is your shop?" Tingting, upon hearing this, was so happy she was about to jump for joy. "Sister Fang, why didn’t you tell me? Lately, lots of girls from my class have been coming to your shop to buy things. They say the clothes here look so much better than those in other shops." Fang Pingying smiled and teased her, saying, "Really? Well, I owe it to your classmates for bringing in business." Tingting smiled, then pouted at Fang Pingying a bit unhappily, saying, "I didn’t know it was your shop, otherwise I could have boasted about it to my classmates." Juzi, standing next to Fang Pingying, found the lively young girl amusing and laughed, "It’s not too late to brag, just say your sister owns this shop. If your classmates come to buy something and mention your name, I’ll give them a 20% discount." "Thank you, Sister," Tingting sweetly smiled at Juzi, then looked up at Fang Pingying and asked, "Sister Fang, who is this?" Fang Pingying introduced them: "Her name is Juzi. Just call her Sister Juzi. She’s in charge of the shop most of the time." Turning her head, Fang Pingying also introduced to Juzi, saying, "Juzi, this is Tingting, and this is Tingting’s dad, Mr. Liu." Juzi and Liu Fengsheng nodded their heads as a greeting. Tingting immediately smiled and said to Juzi, "Thank you, Sister Juzi." Juzi took Tingting into the shop, pointed at the clothes hanging on the rack, and laughed, "You sure have a sweet mouth, little girl. Go inside and look at the clothes, whichever one you like, Sister will give it to you." Upon hearing this, Liu Fengsheng immediately chuckled to Juzi and Fang Pingying, "No, no, don’t spoil her. Let her choose one, and just give me the 20% off." Fang Pingying waved her hand, signaling Tingting to continue choosing, and smilingly said to Liu Fengsheng, "This is between me and Tingting, Brother Liu, please don’t interfere." Liu Fengsheng just smiled and did not respond. After a moment of silence, Liu Fengsheng suddenly looked at Fang Pingying and said, "Pingying, you really are full of surprises, as if you understand everything and everything you do thrives." Fang Pingying was taken aback, then smiled lightly and pointed at the shop, "It’s just a small store, you’re praising me too much." Liu Fengsheng shook his head and spoke softly, "I know that a supermarket, like those in big cities, has recently opened in the city. I heard that one of its owners is called Fang Pingying. That person must be you." "Brother Liu, you really are well-informed." Fang Pingying didn’t expect Liu Fengsheng to know so much. Liu Fengsheng smiled and explained, "We are in the supply and marketing industry. Naturally, since you opened a supermarket, you are also someone in the field, and certain news we must know." Since he was aware, Fang Pingying also smiled and said, "Yes, I started it with two friends as a trial, still not sure how the business will go, hmm." Liu Feng glanced at Fang Pingying and said with a nod, "This is an emerging industry, definitely attractive. As long as the quality of your goods is solid, in my view, it’s only a matter of time before you replace our current supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores." Fang Pingying looked at Liu Fengsheng and nodded secretly. This man indeed had foresight and saw the whole picture; he was great material for running a business. Moreover, after several dealings with Liu Fengsheng, Fang Pingying knew that his character was extremely good. If he wasn’t working at the supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Pingying would have been willing to work with him. What their supermarket lacked the most now was upper management talent. If they could recruit someone like Liu Fengsheng, it would be much easier for the three of them as owners. Fang Pingying glanced at Liu Fengsheng and said with a smile, "You’re right, it will replace them eventually." Liu Fengsheng smiled and then looked at Tingting picking out clothes in the distance. However, his peripheral vision was always sizing up Fang Pingying. From the first time he saw her in the rural town, he felt that this woman was out of the ordinary. Yet, he had not imagined she would be someone so capable and bold. In less than two years after coming to the provincial city, she had started such a large business, and in every aspect, she seemed to do better than others. He knew that Fang Pingying’s spouse was just an ordinary soldier, mostly staying with the troops, meaning her spouse couldn’t help her with her business at all. She had managed everything on her own. Liu Fengsheng also remembered that back in the rural town, Fang Pingying was selling cheap hawthorn cakes, which suggested that she had no background to rely on. Furthermore, Liu Fengsheng knew that in these two years, Fang Pingying was not only successful in her business outside but also managed everything at home without neglect, giving birth to twins and keeping her household in perfect order. Such a strong and outstanding woman, Liu Fengsheng had never met before in his life. Truly admirable, and almost unbelievable, like a mythical existence. Unconsciously, Liu Fengsheng’s gaze at Fang Pingying became more profound. But Fang Pingying had no idea about this and was completely unaware of Liu Fengsheng’s observation, still smiling and watching Tingting pick clothes. Tingting was at an age where she loved to look beautiful. She picked for a long time in the shop, liking every piece of clothing, and finally chose three she wanted to buy but hesitated over which one to choose. Fang Pingying was planning to wrap up those clothes and give them to her, but Liu Fengsheng stopped her. Liu Fengsheng only let Tingting choose one she liked most. Liu Fengsheng said that for a child Tingting’s age, it was easy to be dazzled by material goods, and one should not spoil them too much. In the end, Tingting picked one piece of clothing, and Liu Fengsheng insisted on paying, which was essentially half-sell, half-gift.
