Chapter 611: Not Alone!

"Since they are all from Guangzhou, then the next one should be the Guangzhou Shop." An Yinan looked toward a young man.

This young man had some issues with his arm; he was the person brought out by Kang Jian, and also a wounded veteran.

"My name is Xiao Yang." That person rubbed the back of his head; it was his first time facing so many people.

Before, he was always at the market, encountering only middlemen or people specifically coming to Guangzhou for wholesale. He had thought about dressing formally, but then he thought, why not just stay as he was on a normal day?

So...

Such a down-to-earth person just wore a large undershirt, a pair of large shorts, and a pair of large slippers...

Everyone else was dressed in suits and leather shoes to meet An Yinan; only this one could be considered strangely dressed.

"No need to be nervous, just be as you are on a normal day." An Yinan smiled faintly. A shop that made so much money—only by handing it to someone like this would she truly feel at ease.

Another one of Kang Jian's strengths: his eye for people seemed quite good.

"Yes, Nan." The young man was so nervous that he actually gave a military salute.

It made everyone laugh, but the laughter everyone carried was one of kindness, not mockery.

They were able to gather around Nan; who among them would look at others through colored glasses? Moreover, most of them had walked this path step by step just like that.

Kang Jian gave Xiao Yang an encouraging look. Xiao Yang looked at An Yinan, looked at Kang Jian, and then at everyone's kindness; his nervousness slowly subsided.

"This is the net profit of the Guangzhou Shop for this year. Because the profit value was too large, I contacted Guo Ge every month to reconcile the accounts."

"These are the pickup records from the large factory, as well as the daily shipment logs."

"In this one year, the profit from the shop has already exceeded five million."

Five million—those who were just laughing stopped one after another, their mouths hanging open. How much? They hadn't heard clearly.

A few people rubbed their ears.

Even Kang Jian revealed an expression of surprise. He had thought before that if the supply was timely, the profit would reach a peak, but he hadn't expected the peak to be this high!

Five million...

Now, let alone kind laughter, even if they just smiled a little, they would be doing a disservice to this output value.

"Three hundred retired soldiers hired, all shops on Wholesale Street purchased."

Following that...

A single sentence from an honest man knocked down a whole crowd; sometimes, the words of an honest man have the most impact.

All the shops on Wholesale Street purchased?

An Yinan knew what was going on in her heart. Guo Ge had mentioned these matters to her, and she had agreed at the time. As long as the price was right, buying these shops would be of great benefit to both the shop and future industrial expansion.

But buying them all—this was something even she hadn't expected.

"Not bad, you did very well." An Yinan looked at Xiao Yang and nodded affirmatively.

Xiao Yang's face turned slightly red, and then he returned to his seat. His heart, which wouldn't even beat with excitement on the battlefield, was pounding violently in this conference room, as if he had found the meaning of his pursuit once again.

"Northeast Textile Factory." An Yinan looked toward three people.

That's right, those three giants had actually traveled all the way from the Northeast, unafraid of the long distance. Seeing them made her feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

Originally, it was just a simple arrangement for the wedding venue, but now it had turned into an impromptu reporting meeting.

However, seeing their spirited eyes—regardless of age or gender—everyone was full of drive.

"Eight types of new fabric patterns and materials have been produced through constant research and arrangement."

"There are thirty thousand bolts of fabric sent to the Clothing Factory."

Factory Manager He smiled happily, looking benevolent; the way he looked at An Yinan was as if he were waiting for praise.

The corners of An Yinan's mouth twitched involuntarily. Uncle He, we don't need to be that formal!

"Impressive, not bad, very good..." An Yinan curled her lips and praised him with a smile.

After hearing An Yinan's words, Factory Manager He looked content and returned to his seat.

When An Yinan saw those eight new products, she was still very pleasantly surprised. They were no longer struggling for a living or running around for orders; all their focus was placed on new product development and quality control.

The new fabrics might not be that novel to her, but for this era, they were already at the forefront.

And these new patterned fabrics also gave her new design inspiration.

She wrote down everything she thought of in her notebook; these were all things that needed to be operated and executed later.

"Afterwards, Guo Ge will issue a list, and the rewards for each factory will be implemented one after another." An Yinan clapped her hands, stood up from her seat, and looked at the circle of people below.

She didn't know when it started, but she was no longer alone.

Now, by her side, there were many supporters, as well as everyone's hard work and sweat; she had to be responsible for these people.

Every step she took in the future had to be more firm and more careful.

Because she had to bear the future of these people.

"This year, everyone has worked hard. Let's work together and make progress in the future."

"Nan has worked hard."

Someone started it, and everyone burst into laughter, then said in unison, "Nan has worked hard."

An Yinan smiled, "Alright, you all should take a rest. Have a good time these few days; as for the expenses, put them on me."

"Thank you, Nan." The group of people became jubilant again.

An Yinan shook her head with a smile. Han Xiao whispered in her ear, "Nan, in the small room nearby, there are agents from the Northeast and Shanghai."

When picking up the boat, these agents didn't go over because they wanted to give the time to their internal team first.

She hadn't expected that they had actually come too?

"Let's go." An Yinan took her notebook, exchanged a glance with Guo Ge, and then left the conference room.

Even after walking for a long time, she could still hear the lively cheers from inside the conference room.

"Nan Nan!" Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Liu Meijie immediately stopped talking with Yang Yun and threw herself at her.

It has been a long time since we last parted.

"Liu Meijie, Yang Yun-jie." An Yinan looked at the two of them and greeted them with a smile.

"Sit down quickly. There are some children's clothes in Shanghai. I saw that the quality was good, and I liked the cuts, so I brought them for you," Yang Yun said with a grin. She had never seen the two children, but she had heard they were beautiful, having completely inherited An Yinan's beauty and mischievous spirit.

She did not know the children's height or weight, so she had bought plenty in large, medium, and small sizes in every style she liked; there would surely be something that fit.

An Yinan had not expected that Yang Yun-jie would know about this matter, but she was very grateful. It was not about the quantity of the items; it was the thought that counted. "Thank you, Yang Yun-jie. I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Yang Yun felt at ease; not standing on ceremony was exactly what she wanted.

If they had kept pushing the gifts back and forth, it would have been annoying.

It was meant to be a kind gesture, but if it were pushed back and forth, the meaning would change.
