608 I Want to Restock!
After leaving the store, the two drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with a scrutinizing gaze. There was a faint smile on her face that carried a different kind of beauty.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
âClass Monitor Lin, it seems like you were a playboy when you were in school. When they were eating, that long-haired girl was trying to woo you, right?â
âOf course. Do you think my face is just for show?â
âThen, did you do anything bad?â Ji Qingyan waved her small fists.
âHow is that possible? Iâm such a noble person. How could I do such bad things?â
âAre you sure? Youâre not lying to me?â
âI have to be sure. If I lie to you, Iâll be struck by lightning.â
âThereâs no need to say that. Iâll believe you if you say so.â
Seeing that Lin Yi had even swore, Ji Qingyan felt that there was no reason not to believe him.
âIâm going to take a shower. You can take care of yourself.â
Delighted, she said, âSeeing how well-behaved you were when you were in university, Iâll reward you with another kiss.â
With that, Ji Qingyan kissed Lin Yi on the cheek before heading to the bathroom on the second floor to take a shower.
Lin Yi touched his face and muttered to himself,
âIt was all done by my little brother. It really had nothing to do with me.â
Ji Qingyan went to take a shower while Lin Yi returned to the study and looked at the system page.
[The system quest is at (21,790/100,000)]
Lin Yi thought about it. If he didnât close the shop early, there would definitely have been more customers.
According to todayâs customer flow, he would be able to complete the mission in about five days.
If Ji Qingyan hadnât stopped him and he had gone all out, he would have been able to shorten the time needed to complete the task to three days.
After thinking about these things, Lin Yi placed his hands behind his head and started thinking about the company.
Lingyun Groupâs mobile phone business was the most important thing now.
It could even be compared to the code of Chip 3.0. Whether the lithography machine could be built in a short period of time depended on whether the mobile phone business could be successfully launched.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao again.
He only felt completely at ease after communicating with them about the details.
Not long after, Ji Qingyan walked in. She was wearing a set of light blue pyjamas and a towel wrapped around her hair.
She was holding a notebook and a pen in her hand and was frowning. She was making circles on her notebook, calculating something.
âWhat are you mumbling about?â Lin Yi asked.
âBefore I got off work, when I was busy in the kitchen, I counted the goods inside and felt that there wasnât much left. Moreover, the remaining vegetables werenât too fresh. If we sell them to customers, it might affect the taste.â
âSo, what are you trying to say?â
She shrugged regretfully. âI think we need to stock up.â
âThen letâs stock up. Itâs not a big deal.â
âBut I did some calculations. Our turnover over the past few days is about 21,000 yuan. Our net profit is about 8,000 yuan. The cost of electricity and water for the house after four days is about 2,400 yuan. Thereâs so little leftover.â
Lin Yi smiled. âThis bit of money isnât even enough for you to buy a bag.â
âItâs not just not enough to buy a bag. I canât even afford a limited edition perfume.â
Ji Qingyan sat cross-legged on the carpet in the study. âAlso, do you know that weâve overlooked a very important problem?â
âWhat kind of problem?â
âA house.â
âIf we were renting a house, we would have to pay a fixed portion for the rent every month. If we were to take out a loan to buy a house, we would have to repay the loan every month. The amount of disposable income we would have would be even less. Moreover, this is under the premise that we donât fall sick. Even without children going to school, modern society is really unfriendly to budding entrepreneurs.â
âTherefore, my pretentious classmate was right about one thing. In this society, academic qualifications are becoming increasingly important.â
âYeah.â
Ji Qingyan straightened her back and became smug.
âBased on what youâre saying, thereâs still a market for a PhD from Yanjing University, but not for an ordinary undergraduate like you.â
âAre you discriminating against me?â
âAs long as you know it. I didnât say it out loud because I donât want to discourage you.â
âIâm so handsome because I live off a woman, so you have to work harder to support me in the future.â
Ji Qingyan rested her chin on her hand as her eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing a row of white teeth.
âSure.â
âThen itâs settled.â
âLiving off a woman isnât a problem, but we need to solve the problem of our stock.â Ji Qingyan waved the laptop in front of Lin Yi.
âNow, we have about 2,400 yuan at our disposal. According to the standard of living of ordinary people, we need at least 1,000 yuan a day to survive.â
âThen weâll do as you say. Leave 1,000 yuan behind and buy1,400 yuan worth of goods.â Lin Yi said.
âCoincidentally, thereâs a wholesale fruit and vegetable market near Zhengyang Street. Letâs go there and take a look.â
âOkay, whatever you say. But do you know anything about this?â
âOf course not, but itâs not a big problem. Iâll call Wang Tianlong over tomorrow and these problems will be solved.â
âCan we not look for Manager Wang?â
âDo you have other ideas?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI want the two of us to go together and experience this life through and through.
âYou were constantly experiencing other jobs which I couldnât participate in, so I want to experience what it feels like this time.â
âThatâs not a big problem. Weâll go together tomorrow, but we have to wake up early. Do you have a problem with that?â
âOf course, but I wonât have time to make you breakfast.â
âLook at all those people who go out to buy ingredients in the morning and still make breakfast at home. They all have their life together.â
âIn that case, Iâll do the same. I can get up at three in the morning.â
âErr⦠You donât have to be that early.â Ji Qingyanâs enthusiasm surprised Lin Yi.
It was obvious that she was from a rich family. Otherwise, she would not be interested in such things.
âIf we get up early, we can buy the freshest vegetables,â said Ji Qingyan. âMoreover, our pink tricycle can be put to good use.â
âHmm? Why are you so excited?â
âI want to ride it.â
Although Liang Ruoxu was also from a wealthy family, their attitudes were very different when it came to riding a tricycle.
Liang Ruoxu felt ashamed, but Ji Qingyan found it interesting.
This was the difference brought about by their childhood environment.
Ji Qingyanâs excitement did not diminish. âYou ride in front, and Iâll cheer you on from behind. Itâll be fun to go shopping.â
âWhy do I have to ride it?â
âArenât I feeding and taking care of you? You have to do some work.â
âPeople who are taken care of by women normally work at night. How can they work during the day?â
âIs that so? When we set off, it will still only be dawn and not yet daytime.â
âAlright, then Iâll work in the car.â
âYouâre spouting nonsense again.â Ji Qingyan stood up and said, âIâm going to bed. Remember to wake up early tomorrow.â
This was because Ji Qingyan wanted to experience the joy of purchasing goods, so she had to sleep early. Otherwise, it would be easy for her to not get up.
At four in the morning, there was a knock on Lin Yiâs door.
Lin Yi opened the door in a daze and saw that Ji Qingyan was already ready to leave.
She was wearing a beige windbreaker, blue jeans, black high heels, and a transparent carrier bag.
âWhat are you doing?â
âPreparing to stock up?â
âWho goes out to the market dressed like that? Those who donât know might think that youâre a fugitive.â Lin Yi said.
âAlso, whatâs the bag in your hand for?â
âI brought some fruit. I cut it some time ago. The two of us can eat on the way.â
Lin Yi, ââ¦â
âRich lady, are you going on an outing?â
