Chapter 111: Return Without Success (1/2)

The crisis at Li Ming Clothing was completely resolved, and two hundred thousand pieces of clothing sold out.

Liu Li came to find Manager Zhang today, not only to invite him for a meal to express her gratitude but also to inquire whether the reform decisions of Erlunsi had been finalized.

Naturally, she hoped for a thorough reform of Erlunsi, as it concerned the bright future of Li Ming Clothing.

OEM business was really easy to do.

Recalling the scenes of hot sales in the university town and the market, Liu Li still had a vivid memory.

It was not hard to imagine.

If Erlunsi underwent thorough reform, Li Ming Clothing, as the primary pilot, would definitely be the first to obtain the rights to hang tags.

By that time,

Li Ming Clothing would transform from a factory producing for others into a clothing factory with its own brand. Coupled with Erlunsi’s advertising on CCTV in the past two years, the business in the future, if not smooth sailing, would definitely be hundreds, if not thousands of times stronger than it is now.

Besides thanking Old Zhang for his help, she was even more grateful to Zhao Qingfeng.

She planned to have a meal with Old Zhang today and, after the company’s accounts were settled next week and the finances were in order, to personally deliver two hundred thousand to the county town.

She did not expect someone to appear on the way.

After introducing each other to Wang Tieshan, Liu Li asked about his purpose. After Wang Tieshan hesitantly finished, Liu Li smiled, “Well, that’s good, I can help. Moreover, Manager Zhang is quite a decent person, but I couldn’t get through to him just now on the phone. Wait for me for a moment, I’ll go in and have a look first.”

After saying that,

Liu Li, accompanied by Wang Qiuyue, briskly walked into the Erlunsi headquarters.

Wang Tieshan returned to the roadside to wait, feeling uneasy, “Old Shen, did you see? Their car had Li Ming Clothing on it, but they went to Erlunsi to find Old Zhang. What does this indicate? It indicates that they are the ones doing the pilot, and we are one step behind. Look at her triumphant appearance; she must have made a fortune this time!”

Shen Kuo sighed, thinking that Old Wang was too anxious.

The woman agreed readily on the surface, but what if she doesn’t speak to Old Zhang inside?

The two exchanged glances, shaking their heads helplessly, and continued to wait.

Ten minutes later,

When Liu Li came out, the documents in her hand were gone, indicating she had handed them over.

Wang Tieshan hurriedly approached her to inquire.

Liu Li spoke with a slight frown, “Unfortunately, Old Zhang was not in, and no one said where he had gone. The documents were handed over, but by someone else on my behalf. I also heard a little news; it seems that the reform is not very certain, there’s some disagreement within the company. In my opinion, you should go back for now. The people inside said that we won’t know the specific response until at least next week.”

Liu Li got into the car, leaving with a worried look on her face.

Wang Tieshan looked at Shen Kuo, both of them at a loss for what to do.

They didn’t know whether Liu Li was telling the truth or not. Could this woman be trying to deny their competitor an opportunity?

“What should we do?”

Wang Tieshan asked with a worried expression.

“Let’s wait a bit longer; she doesn’t seem like she’s lying. Let’s go, we’ll talk about it next week.”

Old Shen had no better idea, bid farewell to Old Wang, and dejectedly got into the car to return to the county town.

Meanwhile,

On the other side, Zhao Qingfeng and Shen Lingyao had just returned to the Shen residence.

As they opened the door,

Ding Xiang was speaking anxiously to a repairman with a tool bag over his shoulder.

The air conditioner at home was broken.

It was a major brand that Ding Xiang had specially bought two years ago so that the two children could study comfortably during the summer.

She thought it was a minor issue.

But the repairman said it was a major problem, requiring two thousand yuan to fix.

“It was still working fine yesterday…”

Ding Xiang didn’t expect it to be so expensive; the cost of buying an air conditioner was one thing, but paying two thousand for repairs was unacceptable.

“Big sister, this is because the fluorine was gone, and the controller burned out. Do you know what a controller is? It’s a core component. Just replacing it costs 1800, plus more than 200 for refilling the fluorine. I’m not overcharging; it’s all according to the company’s pricing. You can call and ask.”
