Chapter Forty-Seven Fresh Flowers

  The next day, Ning Qingming arrived at the booth, and several new samples from Chaozhou had arrived, but they hadn't been unpacked yet. Suddenly, someone shouted at the entrance: "Flower delivery, please sign for it!"

  "Wow, what a beautiful rose!" Zhang Yu stared at the entrance with wide eyes and smiled at Ning Qingming: "Boss, the factory not only sent samples, but also flowers!"

  "How could the factory possibly send flowers?" Ning Qingming looked at the entrance of the shop and saw a boy holding a large bouquet of roses, so he went over to receive the flowers and asked: "Who sent these?"

  "Somebody ordered flowers at our flower shop and asked me to deliver them." The boy delivering the flowers winked, "There's a card in the bouquet. See for yourself who sent it."

  Ning Qing was worried that the boy who sent flowers would block the door for too long and prevent customers from entering, so she quickly sent him away. She took out the card and saw that it only had her name on it, with nothing else written. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Who is so boring?"

  Zhang Yu looked at the flowers and glanced around, "The bed is so small, there's no place to put such a big bouquet of flowers."

  "Take a mineral water bottle, cut off the top half, and insert a few branches of flowers that are about to bloom. Ask Zheng Mei and the neighboring stall if they want the rest, if not, throw them away, there's really no place to put it." Ning Qingming pulled out a branch of flowers and smelled it, took a deep breath and said: "If it weren't written with my name on it, I would suspect that someone had sent it to the wrong person."

  "It must be a gift from the boss's admirer." Zhang Yu smiled and went to find a bottle.

  Ning Qingmin filtered through the people she knew in her mind, but still couldn't think of who would send flowers to herself. She shook her head and didn't bother thinking about it anymore.

  Zhang Yu was busy packing things up, saying: "Boss, the building where Zheng Mei and others live has a vacant unit on the 6th floor for rent. It's a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. I've taken a look at it, and there's a small balcony with decent air quality. Boss can go take a look, if it's okay, we can rent that place."

  "Hmm, it's still early and there aren't many customers, I'll go take a look at the house first!" Ning Qing thought that Zhang Yu's classmate Zhang Rui Li was coming over in a few days, so she really needed to hurry up and rent a house. She asked Zhang Yu for the landlady's phone number and went to take a look at the environment herself.

  When Ning Qingming rented a good house and returned to the stall, it was almost noon. Zhang Yu hurriedly went to buy lunch boxes. The two of them had just finished eating when two customers came in. They rushed over to receive them.

  The customer is Japanese. He turned over several new samples and looked inside to see if there were any threads. Zhang Yu clicked his tongue and whispered, "He's so picky!"

  "Japanese people all take high-end routes. They have very high requirements for product quality." Zhang Yu heard the translation, smiled and explained.

  Although the customer is picky, the translator is polite and courteous, and does not make people feel disgusted. Ning Qingming took out a small floral pattern from the sample neckline and armpit to show the customer, proving that this style is also very particular about details.

  "Get a cup. Fill it with boiling water." Zhang Yu was instructed, while saying to Ning Qingming: "The customer wants to try whether this wool fabric will fade or not."

  "This woolen product is made from dyed yarn and then embroidered with patterns. It won't fade." Ning Qingmin had contacted the manufacturer several times and still had confidence in the quality of the goods. He took the boiling water handed over by Zhang Yu and dipped the sleeve of the sample into it. After a while, he gently shook it. The water was still clear. Only then did he say: "Our products are mid-to-high-end pearl embroidery. There will be no fading problem. Please rest assured!"

  The customer nodded in satisfaction, whispered with the translator for a while, and then asked about the price.

  It's almost May Day, the factory will definitely be on holiday. After the holiday, the factory orders will be piled up, and the price is bound to rise. Ning Qingmin gritted her teeth, boldly raised the price by a few yuan, and delayed the delivery date by another week.

  The translation says that the Japanese prefer high-quality goods, as long as they are exquisite, the price and delivery date will not be too tight. Ning Qing hurriedly guaranteed that the batch of goods made on time would be just as beautiful as the sample, and both parties signed the order.

  After a busy day, Ning Qingming suddenly remembered that she had classes the next day and wanted to hurry back to school. As soon as she walked out of the mall entrance, she heard someone calling: "Xiao Min!"

  Ning Qingmin turned his head to look, and saw that Fang Chao Liu had a light-colored casual jacket slung over his elbow, a white shirt on his body, light blue jeans, and white sneakers, looking refreshed. This was completely different from the leather shoes and leather clothes he wore when they met at Du's house that day.

  "Anything wrong?" Ning Qing saw Fang Chao Liu walking towards her with the car key in hand, looking a bit dazed.

  "I heard you opened a stall here, come and take a look at you. You seem to be in a hurry to get back to school? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner and send you back afterwards." Fang Chao Liu spun the car key ring around his finger, smiling at Ning Qingming, "You're looking very pretty today!"

  Ning Qingmin wore a pair of khaki-colored suede ankle boots, a tight-fitting jeans, and a white dress shirt with a standing collar. She also wore a black jacket over her clothes. This outfit has already received many compliments today. When she heard Fang Chao Liu say so, she just smiled and didn't blush like before.

  "What dish do you like to eat?" Fang Chao Liu fixed his eyes on Ning Qingmin, waiting for her response.

  Ning Qing was not good at dealing with this type of person, and she felt a bit at a loss. She wanted to refuse him outright, but the words were hard to say. In her haste, she said: "I already have an appointment with someone."

  Just as I finished speaking, the phone rang. I quickly picked it up and heard Du Huo's voice on the other end, "Xiao Ning, I'm just heading to the office nearby, do you want a ride back to school?"

  "Where are you?" Ning Qingming was startled with joy, and was actually afraid of Fang Chao Liu's appearance as if he wanted to pursue her.

  "Over here!" Someone on the other side honked the horn, and Ning Qing turned his head to see a Ferrari slowly driving over. Du Huajia stuck his head out of the car window, caught sight of Fang Chao Liu, and a smile spread across his face. "Fang Shao, dressed like that, I almost didn't recognize you."

  "You changed cars and I almost didn't recognize you." Fang Chaoliu rolled his eyes, "Xiao Min said she had an appointment with someone, was it with you?"

  Du Huajia glanced at Ning Qingmian, nodded and opened the car door, saying "Get in!" Seeing a hint of disappointment on Fang Chaoliu's face, he smiled faintly and said: "Fang Shao, goodbye!"

  Ning Qingmin didn't have time to think about much, and hastily got on the car. Du Hufa asked him about business matters, Ning Qingmin briefly mentioned them, and also worried that he couldn't buy books on practical combat in the market.

  "Can you understand English books?" Du Huajia drove the car out of the road and said, "I brought many practical business books from abroad. If you can understand them, you can go to my house and pick a few to read. Currently, most domestic books on this aspect are more inclined to motivational expressions, with fewer practical ones."

  "My English level is still okay, professional terms, look up the dictionary, basic ones can still understand." Ning Qingmin was surprised and delighted to hear that there were books on business warfare.

  "Let's go back to my place and get the book first, then head back to school!" Du Hu turned the car around.

  Sunday, update was inevitably delayed, sorry!
