Chapter 26

Fang Qiuwen took Shu Wan to the inner room and said straight to the point, “I have a project here, do you want to cooperate?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s hard to explain in detail before you agree. I can only say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you give up, you may never have another chance in your life.” Fang Qiuwen lowered his voice with a hint of excitement.

Shu Wan was more concerned about another question, “How is the reward?”

Fang Qiuwen was stunned, then laughed out loud, “Just provide the design. If you are selected, the reward will be 200 yuan.”

“I’ll give you all the two hundred dollars, but the designer’s name must be mine.”

Buy out the design draft for two hundred dollars?

Seeing the suppressed excitement in Fang Qiuwen’s eyes, Shu Wan thought that since she didn’t want money, it must be of great benefit in other aspects.

These two hundred yuan seem a bit too little.

Shu Wan shook her head, “Two hundred yuan is not enough. I want one thousand yuan.”

Fang Qiuwen’s eyes widened, “One thousand yuan is too much.”

The remuneration was only 500 yuan, and she had to pay for it herself.

Shu Wan shrugged, “Then there’s nothing to talk about.”

“How about five hundred yuan?” Fang Qiuwen gritted her teeth. At worst, she would not take the money.

Shu Wan still shook her head, “You should find someone else to cooperate with.”

Seeing Shu Wan was about to leave, Fang Qiuwen quickly said, “One thousand is one thousand! But we have agreed in advance that after I pay you, the design drawings will belong to me and have nothing to do with you.”

Shu Wan is a potential stock that she found with great difficulty, and there is a high possibility that she will be selected.

As long as she is selected, a thousand yuan is nothing. She can earn more, and the connections and reputation she will gain cannot be measured by money.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiuwen felt much better. I vaguely feel that Shu Wan is short-sighted. She is indeed from the countryside. I don’t know how much benefit this project can bring to her. But now she has to enjoy this benefit alone.

Even she felt the pain when she took out this thousand yuan.

Shu Wan saw the pain and ambition in Fang Qiuwen’s eyes. It seemed that this was a very big project that made her willing to pay for it.

Compared with other benefits, the compensation is probably just a drop in the bucket.

But for Shu Wan, the capital is what she lacks most now. It costs money to move out, buy a sewing machine, import fabric, and buy buttons and accessories. It takes a lot of money to open a store or factory.

Although the business from these two stalls was good, after deducting the money spent on materials, the actual profit was less than 70 yuan. And over time, many imitators are bound to appear.

Although her styles are novel, she is the only one in the business and can only produce a limited amount of goods. If others sell their products cheaper than hers, there is a high possibility that they will become unsalable.

Her energy is limited, and setting up a stall is just a delaying tactic. She needs to accumulate capital to buy a sewing machine, purchase goods, open a store or even a factory, establish her own production line, and create a brand.

So when Fang Wenqiu agreed to pay one thousand yuan, Shu Wan immediately agreed.

She knew that this project might represent greater interests, but what Shu Wan lacked most at the moment was the capital. This thousand yuan was enough to speed up the accumulation of original funds.

Shu Wan sat down again and said, “We can discuss cooperation in detail next.”

“good!”

…

After the conversation, Shu Wan left her address and asked Fang Qiuwen to confirm the time and find her according to the address.

After Shu Wan left, Fang Qiuwen’s eyes flashed with complexity. He didn’t know whether he should feel sorry for Shu Wan’s brilliant mind or her short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness. She actually gave up the opportunity to become famous for a thousand yuan.

She was able to participate in this project through her connections. Once her design is selected by the army, one can imagine how bright and smooth her future will be.

Walking out of the tailor shop, Shu Wan immediately saw Huo Zhengye standing in front of the car.

Wearing a neat military uniform, with broad shoulders and a tall stature, coupled with a sharp, handsome, and well-defined face, Shu Wan felt as if a hundred and eighty layers of filters were covering her eyes.

The shocking uniform temptation, every move accurately hits your aesthetic point.

Shu Wan patted her face, this was the man who was about to become her ex-husband, and she was the entangled boss in the book, and the cannon fodder ex-wife who had a miserable end. Wake up.

While Shu Wan was daydreaming, she came to the car. Huo Zhengye opened the door first and motioned for her to get in.

When Shu Wan got into the car, she caught sight of the man’s sharp and smooth jawline and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Sit down.”

Huo Zhengye sat in the driver’s seat and turned his head to say to Shu Wan.

Shu Wan’s restless heart had calmed down. Almost as soon as Huo Zhengye finished speaking, Shu Wan closed her legs, placed her hands on her thighs, and her whole body was tense and motionless.

There were no seat belts at the moment, and Shu Wan became subconsciously nervous due to the safety education she received since childhood.

Huo Zhengye saw everything clearly from the corner of his eye and couldn’t help but laugh. At the moment, Shu Wan was sitting like a good child, and there was no trace of the fierce look she had just shown when she harshly criticized and scolded Du Wendong.

I remembered that in the police station, Du Wendong made a miserable accusation and showed the bite mark on his arm.

The bite mark was red, showing how much force the person had used.

If he hadn’t happened to be in the city for something, I’m afraid…

Huo Zhengye pursed his lips and said, “It’s not safe for you to set up a stall by yourself. The factory hasn’t found anyone to work for you yet, so go and report.”

Shu Wan disagreed, “It’s not the stall that’s dangerous, it’s Du Wendong. As long as he’s looking for me, he’ll find me no matter what. Believe it or not, even if I enter the factory, he still has a way.”

“But you do have some truth in what you said. Next time I’ll prepare some pepper spray in my bag. Hehe, whoever bullies me, I’ll spray him.”

It is impossible to give up setting up the stall and selling clothes.

It was also her fault that she was not prepared for the moment. She didn’t expect Du Wendong to attack her in public. In her previous life, she had specially found someone to teach her women’s self-defense skills, but unfortunately she had never been able to put them to good use.

Huo Zhengye’s lips curled up slightly, then his eyes darkened.

The police have already contacted Du Wendong’s school to issue a notice of criticism and public supervision, and they probably won’t bother Shu Wan anymore.

However, Huo Zhengye couldn’t help but remind him, “Next time you encounter danger, run to a crowded place to ask for help, don’t just stand there stupidly.”

Shu Wan nodded.

When the car arrived at the gate of the compound, Huo Zhengye asked Shu Wan to get off first.

After getting out of the car, Huo Zhengye did not leave immediately, “I’m going to file a divorce report.”

“Oh, okay, you go first, I’ll go home by myself.”

Shu Wan said very considerately, “Take your time, don’t rush, I’ll go home and cook first.”

Huo Zhengye stared at Shu Wan’s back. He felt that Shu Wan was particularly happy, jumping and skipping as she walked.

Shu Wan was indeed happy. After divorcing Huo Zhengye, it meant leaving the plot and escaping the tragic ending in the book.

She can make money, live her own life, and find a little puppy when she feels lonely.

While walking on the road, Shu Wan suddenly remembered that she hadn’t bought the materials yet!

It’s too late to buy it now, so I have to wait until tomorrow, when I can go to the city to look at houses.

Having made up her mind, Shu Wan continued on her way home.

Suddenly, a person jumped out from the side, pulled Shu Wan and shouted, “Xixi!”

Shu Wan was startled and saw that the person holding her was an old lady.

The old lady had silver hair that was combed meticulously. She wore a simple dark purple coat and black trousers. Her thin, shriveled hands held Shu Wan tightly.

That wrinkled, weather-beaten face was looking at her excitedly at this moment.

A pair of drooping eyes were sparkling with tears.

The old lady cried.

She choked up and said, “Xixi, I finally found you. Don’t you recognize me?”

The old lady held Shu Wan’s cheeks, then took Shu Wan’s little hands, rubbed them again and again, looked at them again and again, as if it was never enough.

“Grandma, you got the wrong person.”

The old lady shook her head like a rattle and hugged Shu Wan, “No, you are my Xixi.”

Shu Wan wanted to break free, but when she saw the old lady’s eyes filled with love and surprise, she softened her heart.

“Xixi, I left a lot of delicious food for you, you must eat your fill.”

“Hey, where’s the thing, Xixi, did you see it?”

Seeing the old lady’s appearance, Shu Wan roughly understood what was going on. The old lady might have some problems with her brain.

Shu Wan softened her voice and asked the old lady, “Grandma, you may have left home. I’ll take you back.”

“Okay, let’s go home together.” The old lady shook Shu Wan’s hand, “Go home.”

Shu Wan asked: “Where are you going?”

The old lady thought for a while and said, “I forgot.”

Helplessly, Shu Wan had to take the old lady home first and then look for her family.

Little did they know that Huo Zhengye was looking for someone like crazy.
