Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Admission

"Deng Yong, these fabrics have nice colors. I want to ask, if I were to purchase in bulk, could you supply such a large quantity?" Tang Mingli directly inquired without beating around the bush.

"How much constitutes a large quantity?" Deng Yong asked, his heart suddenly skipping a beat. If it really were a large order, then wouldn’t he make a good amount of money?

"Let’s put it this way, we plan to start a garment factory and will need a lot of fabric," Tang Mingli glanced at him before continuing, "You and Deng Lanhua are siblings, and we all know each other. I was thinking, if you could help us find the right fabric mill, you could help us ship them back to Wangjiang County each time, and we would pay you a service fee."

Deng Yong wasn’t running his own fabric mill, they would definitely need to purchase from one.

"Of course, we can negotiate the price," Tang Mingli added.

Deng Yong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately took Tang Mingli to find the fabric mill. Tang Mingli couldn’t make the decision alone, and since the mill wasn’t far, they arranged to visit it the next day.

That night, Tang Mingli rented two rooms in a nearby inn, one for him and one for Tang Yue and Wei Jiajia.

After dinner, while Wei Jiajia was taking a bath, Tang Yue visited the next room to find Tang Mingli.

"Little uncle," Tang Yue walked into the room, closed the door, and it creaked. The room was very small, with just one bed and no bathroom.

"Xiao Yue," Tang Mingli, who had just finished showering and was drying his hair, blurted out without thinking, "I asked Wei Jiajia to come to help us look for sewing machines."

"Hmm, are you sure it’s purely business and not because you wanted to see her?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow.

"No," Tang Mingli quietly objected.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, "Little uncle, you wouldn’t be thinking of letting Sister Jiajia invest in the garment factory, would you?"

Sitting on the train, always together with Wei Jiajia but not having the chance to discuss this with Tang Mingli before in the residential building.

She had thought about this issue for a long time. Wei Jiajia was nice, but until she marries little uncle, she isn’t considered part of the family nor could she be considered her little aunt.

"Uh..." Tang Mingli touched his nose.

Tang Yue’s eyes immediately narrowed as she asked, "Little uncle, don’t tell me you and Sister Jiajia are already engaged secretly?"

"No," Tang Mingli immediately countered, "Xiao Yue, you’re overthinking it. How could we possibly be secretly engaged?"

Tang Mingli’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt.

"Then, are you dating?" Tang Yue asked further, scrutinizing Tang Mingli with suspicious eyes. Along the way, she really hadn’t noticed any signs of them dating.

That’s not right, it’s not that they didn’t seem like they were dating, but rather, they didn’t appear to be openly dating.

"Can we... not talk about this?" Tang Mingli averted his gaze.

"No," Tang Yue shook her head, "Little uncle, we need to clear this up. You borrowed US $100,000. Initially, that amount of money is sufficient, you don’t need to reduce your share of the company."

The future prospects of the garment factory are boundless, and the profits will certainly be impressive. In such a scenario, there is absolutely no need to give away shares.

She willingly helped her little uncle, but that doesn’t mean she’s willing to help others. Of course, it would be another story if Wei Jiajia were to become her little aunt.

"Xiao Yue, Jiajia knows a lot of people and also knows those in the sewing machine business, so we called her over this time," Tang Mingli explained, then added, "She doesn’t intend to get involved with our factory operations, just that, in the future, we could sell our finished clothes to her, maybe?"

"Of course," Tang Yue grinned and said, "Little uncle, you two are in a relationship, aren’t you? It seems my future little aunt is about to be set."

If she was not very sure before, now she could be one hundred percent certain. If her little uncle wasn’t dating her, he would have denied it quickly, not diverted the topic like this.

"Yes," Tang Mingli finally couldn’t resist admitting, but he cautioned, "Please don’t tell your dad about this."

"Why not? Don’t you plan to marry her?" Tang Yue countered.

"No, it’s just that I’m thinking, I have nothing now and owe so much debt, how can I let her suffer with me?" Tang Mingli draped a thin jacket over himself, ever since deciding to be with Wei Jiajia, Tang Mingli has always harbored the idea of making it big, earning enough money to proudly bring her home.

Tang Mingli didn’t want to reveal this in front of his niece, but his expression clearly showed his true thoughts.

"The time for you to proudly marry Sister Jiajia will definitely come soon," Tang Yue relieved her heart of doubts and felt much lighter, showing her white teeth in a smile, "By the way, little uncle, after we finalize the fabric deal tomorrow, I’d like to explore around a bit."

"Where do you want to go?" Tang Mingli immediately asked, "If everything goes smoothly, the day after tomorrow, I plan to look at sewing machines with Jiajia. It’s unfamiliar territory here, won’t you come with us?"

"I will," Tang Yue answered without hesitation, this trip took up enough time that she also wanted to explore around. Her designs were many, the garment factory would definitely make mid-range or affordable clothes accessible to everyone, allowing for volume sales.

But she had also designed many custom outfits, which required higher-grade fabrics and finer craftsmanship. Of course, the price could not compare to those of the factory’s clothes.

Setting up a fashion studio would be good, but with her current situation, she simply didn’t have the capital. Further, being not well-known now, even if she opened a fashion studio, she couldn’t sell them at the prices she desired.

Night.

Tang Yue and Wei Jiajia lay in separate small beds in a new and unfamiliar place, and neither of them could fall asleep. She asked, "Sister Jiajia, are you a local from Jiang City?"

"Yes, I grew up in Jiang City. My parents sell shoes in the wholesale market, and you’ve met my sister who sells clothing. I didn’t study much and started doing business with my parents early on, and I’ve also saved up some money, so I opened a wholesale store. These children’s clothes, I import them from Shenzhen."

Wei Jiajia recalled the hard times walking around the market in Shenzhen searching for the clothes she wanted. Sometimes she would eat only once a day, even wandering around the streets during the icy cold of winter.
