Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Absolutely Intentional (Five Updates)

Coming out of the hospital room, Tang Yue walked back slowly, feeling surprisingly empty at the thought of not having to deliver meals tomorrow.

These past few days, although her uncle had helped deliver meals for two days, just thinking about her cooking being enjoyed by Mo Siyu always made her feel incredibly happy.

Even if she wasn’t the one delivering, she would still be happy all day long, even if it meant spending extra time at night drawing design drafts needed for the clothing factory; she felt spirited and not at all tired.

"Xiao Yue, what’s wrong with you?" Tang Mingli teased, "Was today’s meal not enough?"

"No, I don’t have to deliver meals tomorrow." Tang Yue put the lunchbox on the counter.

Tang Mingli asked, "Why? His injuries shouldn’t allow him to be discharged yet, right?"

"It seems he has something to do in Jiang City, I’m not very clear." Tang Yue said uncertainly. Mo Siyu had only given a rough explanation and hadn’t elaborated, so she was confused and completely unaware of what was actually happening.

He was still injured, could there really be something in Jiang City?

Mo Siyu’s condition was getting better every day; it should not be related to his physical health, so could it be something to do with President An?

But his injuries aren’t healed yet, what could President An possibly want from him? Isn’t that a bit too insensitive?

"Not having to deliver meals, isn’t that a good thing?" Tang Mingli said excitedly, "By the way, Xiao Yue, the painting in the factory is almost done. Let’s go check it out later; the sewing machines will arrive in a few days too. Do you think we should start hiring?"

"Alright." Tang Yue agreed, then rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle, you’re only thinking about hiring now? Isn’t it a bit late?"

"Heh." Tang Mingli laughed awkwardly, having been too busy to think about it.

"I’ve already sent Xiao Jun to post job advertisements everywhere; in three days, there will definitely be a lot of applicants." Tang Yue sold a hint here.

The decision to post advertisements was spontaneous, and explaining each point in detail would take forever, so Tang Yue instructed Tang Jun and his classmates to post ads in various towns and the county.

The gist was that Mingyue Clothing Factory, after opening, would need female workers who could operate sewing machines, offering at least US$ 50 per month.

With such an offer, anyone skilled in sewing would surely be interested.

When Tang Mingli heard about the US$ 50, he couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Yue, so many people, fifty dollars each, that payroll..."

"Uncle, salaries have increased a lot this year. Think about it, would you work for a low wage?" Tang Yue countered, and besides, she was hiring skilled workers, so to her, paying fifty dollars a month was a considerable bargain.

"Hmm, that’s true, but making so many clothes at once, can we really sell them all?" Tang Mingli started to worry as the reality approached.

The clothes sold well in Wangjiang County, but if about a hundred people were making them, that would mean at least a hundred pieces of clothing a day, possibly more. Could they really sell them all?

"As long as the clothes are good, they won’t fail to sell." Tang Yue had already thought this through and explained upon seeing Tang Mingli’s worried look, "We’ll send the finished clothes to Jiang City to sell. Those trucks going to Jiang City for goods usually go empty. We can pay them a little to help us transport our goods."

"The population might not be large in Wangjiang County, but Jiang City is populous. Not to mention a hundred pieces a day, even a thousand pieces would sell." What Tang Yue didn’t mention was that she wasn’t worried about not being able to sell the clothes, but rather that the clothes produced might not be enough.

In the future, she planned to adopt a dealership model, wholesaling the factory-made clothes. Although the profit per item would be lower compared to selling them directly, the margin in volume sales would still be quite substantial.

Taking advantage of the present time, Tang Yue took the opportunity to thoroughly explain her future sales model and her rough plans to Tang Mingli.

Tang Mingli’s initial worries were swept away, leaving only his bold ambitions.

Tang Yue took a sip of water, feeling completely happy inside. Her uncle, even in a state of confusion, trusted her enough to decide on taking a loan of US$ 10,000, and especially went to Shenzhen to purchase fabric and machines. Such trust was beyond repayment.

The only thing she could do was to ensure the clothing factory grew larger and more prosperous.

Jiang City.

When Mo Siyu and Qin Huai’an arrived in Jiang City, it was already evening. Qin Huai’an suggested eating dinner, but Mo Siyu gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Go here first."

Mo Siyu pointed to a location on the map.

Without a word, Qin Huai’an drove Mo Siyu to the location indicated on the map. Mo Siyu, dressed in hospital attire and sitting in a Santana, somehow maintained an oddly harmonious yet bizarre appearance.

Qin Huai’an, dressed in casual clothes, followed Mo Siyu’s pointed direction and reached a village bustling with activity, situated at a junction of several towns, where many people were out and about enjoying the cool evening air.

Moreover, this village was notable for its high influx of outsiders, connected not only to various towns but also to several small coal mines, with the miners living closest to this village.

"Brother Mo, this place is too conspicuous. How are we supposed to catch him?" Qin Huai’an doubted the feasibility since they had visited this place numerous times without any results. Despite the frequent comings and goings of outsiders, there seemed to be no particularly unfamiliar faces.

"Go get a circus from Jiang City," Mo Siyu instructed.

Qin Huai’an widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Mo Siyu and countered, "Brother Mo, are you saying to get a circus now?"

"Can’t do it?" Mo Siyu retorted.

Qin Huai’an shook his head and replied, "Then I’ll drive there now."

"Leave the car here, walk to the next village over and spend money to hire them."

Mo Siyu spread out the map in his hands, pointing to a village about twenty kilometers away.

"..." Qin Huai’an looked at the desolate village, highly suspicious that Brother Mo was deliberately messing with him.

As if reading his thoughts, Mo Siyu solemnly said, "Whether we catch him and retrieve the Jade Buddha depends on whether you go or not."

With his hands clasped in front of him, Mo Siyu’s dark eyes surveyed the lively village.

"This..." Ultimately, Qin Huai’an ran toward the village Mo Siyu had indicated. What was infuriating was that not only was the village as barren as expected, but he also had to navigate unfamiliar mountain terrains at night, which really made his hair stand on end.
