Chapter 467: Then Let's Do It!

~8 min read 1,447 words

"Meizi, what's wrong?" Mother Wang also noticed Liu Mei's abnormality and looked toward Liu Mei.

They had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, and Mother Wang was very satisfied with Liu Mei.

Her daughter-in-law was a sensible person who knew how to conduct herself, maintaining both substance and appearance; since they both loved the same person, there would be no disputes.

This was the first time she had seen Meizi so conflicted.

Even back when they said they didn't want children, she had been more composed than she was now.

"Go ahead and say it, it's fine," Mother Wang comforted her.

Liu Mei looked at Mother Wang, then at Factory Director He and Deputy Factory Director Feng; these two were like uncles and were no longer outsiders.

"Can I say it?" However, Liu Mei looked at An Yinan instead.

An Yinan thought for a moment, roughly understanding what Liu Meijie was going to say, and she nodded.

"Nan Nan is going to open a clothing store in the Northeast, and I want to resign to manage the store," Liu Mei said, watching Mother Wang's face.

Mother Wang was only stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is that all? As long as you and your husband have discussed it, it's fine. Why should an old woman like me interfere in your lives?"

Liu Mei thought for a moment, "Mom, I want to borrow money from you."

She gathered all her courage.

In all the years since she married, she had never mentioned the word "money" at her in-laws'.

Whether it was buying things for her parents-in-law, giving them money directly, or receiving money or gifts from her mother-in-law, they had never mentioned borrowing money.

"What's going on? Is there some difficulty at home?" Factory Director He also looked on seriously.

The three of them were not biological siblings, but they were closer than biological siblings.

Their many years of working together and getting along were closer than many distant biological siblings.

"No, no!" Liu Mei hurriedly waved her hands.

To keep the elders from worrying, she explained the collaboration with Nan Nan and the business model of Nan Nan's shop directly.

Only then did the three elders in the room understand what was going on.

"Before, I wanted to work as an employee first to save some money, and then move into agency management."

"But after coming here and seeing what Nan Nan has done, Mom, I want to give it a try."

She now had a husband who supported her and a lovely daughter.

Her daughter was looked after by her own mother from Monday to Friday, and her mother-in-law would buy things and bring them over from time to time; her own mother had a gentle temperament, and her mother-in-law was also good-natured, so the two of them never had any conflicts.

And on Saturdays and Sundays, the child was at her mother-in-law's house, and she had to pick her up, depending on who was busy...

Thinking about it now, the lack of freedom she had previously imagined was non-existent.

She had plenty of time, and she also wanted to provide her daughter with a better material life.

"Won't Nan Nan suffer a loss? Buying a house, renovating, and handling training?" Mother Wang looked at An Yinan.

An Yinan smiled and shook her head, "This can be considered a new type of model. The three shops in Beijing are all under our own control, but here in the Northeast, we can't reach it, so it's better to delegate the power."

"And I think highly of Liu Meijie. Her temperament is stable, she knows how to be flexible, and most importantly, her aesthetic sense has always been very good."

They had first met because of a Square Scarf.

And along the way, they had known each other for many years.

They understood each other, and compared to being a food server, Liu Meijie was better suited to be this store manager.

"However, my two plans are always valid. Liu Meijie, you don't have to be in such a hurry," An Yinan smiled. She hoped Liu Meijie would think it through, rather than making a rash decision and regretting it later.

Although she was confident that Liu Meijie would definitely not regret it later.

But she couldn't say anything, nor could she give any guarantees.

"I know, but Nan Nan, I believe in you, but I believe in my own judgment even more!" She didn't mean her judgment in clothes, but her judgment in people!

"Then do it!" Mother Wang clapped her hands. In the current situation, her daughter-in-law was getting all the benefits, and she had actually reminded Nan Nan of that.

But since Nan Nan thought this model was feasible, she, as an old lady, shouldn't interfere too much.

She looked at Feng Lao, "Your money? Can I borrow it first?"

They were old friends and didn't need to be so polite. Feng Lao was still studying new patterns and hadn't heard the previous words; he looked at Mother Wang blankly, but after hearing her words, he nodded without any hesitation.

Mother Wang looked at Liu Mei, "Meizi, Mom's money has to be used to back up Nan Nan. Once a word is given, it must be fulfilled."

"Your Feng Shu's money, Mom will borrow it first; you don't need to pay it back later, just work hard," Mother Wang looked at Liu Mei as if looking at her own daughter.

When she was busy with the factory and couldn't take care of the house, it was Meizi who helped look after things; she was one hundred percent satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

Now that her daughter-in-law wanted to venture out, and after listening to it, she thought it was completely feasible.

Nan Nan's character was trustworthy, so what did she have to worry about?

If the shop couldn't be opened, she and Meizi would just go to the street to sell those clothes; it wouldn't be a huge loss of money anyway.

"Mom, thank you!" Liu Mei didn't expect her mother-in-law to support her so much.

She used to think that as long as she didn't talk about money with her parents-in-law, they might have such a good relationship for a lifetime.

But now that she had talked about money, her mother-in-law was still so open-minded; she must have done a great good deed in her past life.

Not to mention others, the front desk Xiaomei's mother-in-law was always scheming against her; she was such a nice girl, but look at what she had become now.

Always "my mother-in-law said this, my mother-in-law said that."

Is it her mother-in-law living, or is she living her own life?

Why didn't she have her own opinions?

If the parents-in-law were reasonable, how would they interfere in the affairs of the young couple?

In matters of emotion, the fewer people who interfere, the better; it's just about treating others as you would like to be treated.

"You child, we are one family, why say such things that divide us!" Mother Wang said, between laughing and crying.

An Yinan looked at Liu Mei; in this era, Liu Meijie was actually a maverick, even possessing the mindset of a new-era woman.

It wasn't about benefiting others, but more about benefiting herself.

She was very lucky to have met Auntie Wang.

"Eat at the factory, won't you?" Auntie Wang pulled at An Yinan, trying to persuade her for a long time, and An Yinan felt quite helpless.

"I haven't seen Sister Liu Yun for a long time, and I want to see her too; I'll go to the government office this afternoon to look at the land." An Yinan explained her plans.

The main thing was that refusing the three elders actually put quite a bit of pressure on her.

"I've already memorized the phone number; if there's anything in the future, just call directly. I've also given the production plan for these fabrics to Feng Shu. If there are any changes later, I will contact you directly. Our fabric is not for sale to outsiders," An Yinan said.

Her new type of fabric must definitely satisfy her own factory first!

How could she be greedy for small gains and sell it off?

"Alright, I've noted it down," Factory Manager He nodded.

There was no need to run outside anymore, so his focus of work would also need to shift after that.

The three of them still needed to touch base, even though the factory looked the same as before, just with a new owner.

In reality, it was no longer the same; many things had already changed.
