Chapter 180 - The Old Lady Was Ecstatic When She Saw Fang Zeyu Back with the Lunchbox again (3)

Without heading back to the shop first, Shu Yan went straight to Lao Zhang. His wife had gone overnight over to City Han and she didn’t know what was the situation over there.

“Ah, Boss Shu, you are here.” Lao Zhang was so happy over the good news that his face was beaming. “Boss Shu, things had gone nuts over at City Han. Just yesterday, they had placed orders for 5,000 sets and then they placed another order for 5,000 sets this morning. I am starting to wonder whether my factory can keep up with that.”

That, too, was what Shu Yan had worried about. They would only be receiving more and more orders from this point forward. If the factory wasn’t able to churn them out, they would be losing out on opportunities to make money.

“How many sets can the factory produce a day currently?” As their orders went up, Shu Yan felt that they would need to look into this sooner rather than later.

“Don’t worry. I am having my people work overtime already. Plus, I have also brought back a batch of my former employees. We can do 3,000 sets a day. When push comes to shove, I can also have a friend’s factory help out as well. We will be able to handle it.” This was the first time Lao Zhang has to worry about not being able to complete the orders. That was a far cry from not having enough work.

“Good then. There is something else that I need to talk to you about.” Lao Zhang was a decent one. He gave Shu Yan a heads up before he started producing the fall sets. Shu Yan, too, must be respectful to him and give him a heads up when she is partnering with someone else. “I am going to partner up with a friend to create an undergarment brand and our focus will be fall outfits.”

Shu Yan’s words made Lao Zhang’s chest tightened. He almost couldn’t maintain his smile.

“Don’t worry just yet. I am not going to stop our partnership. We will continue to work together. I just want to give you a heads up. Truth is, in a week’s time, I am sure other factories will start churning out fall sets and our business will drop. What are your thoughts? Do you want to focus on fall sets or go back to making clothes?” Shu Yan felt that if Lao Zhang could lock in to a focus, it wouldn’t be difficult for the factory to survive.

Lao Zhang finally felt relieved after Shu Yan’s explanation.

“I plan to stick with fall sets.” Lao Zhang had it figured out finally. He didn’t have the eye for it and couldn’t keep up with the latest fashion trend. He was better off just sticking with fall clothing.

Shu Yan nodded. “I agree that is a better direction for you. Why don’t we do this? When we make enough money and you have enough capital to operate your factory, we can dissolve our agreement.”

“Boss Shu, why would you say such a thing? I, Lao Zhang, am not someone who’d turn his back on someone who had helped him out when he needed it the most. As long as I am producing fall sets, our contract will always be there,” said Lao Zhang emotionally.

“I don’t mean anything by that. It’s just that I might not have that much time to put into this later on. We have been calling this a ‘partnership’, but really it was you and your wife doing most of the work. I have been taking advantage of you already.” It had always been Shu Yan’s plan to pull out after she had made an initial amount.

Lao Zhang shook his head. That wasn’t how it work. They have put in the most physical labor but not a penny of capital. Sometimes physical labor was the least valuable. All in all, he had a good idea about this and would not let Shu Yan take the shorter end of the deal.

Shu Yan headed over to pick up her kids after a quick visit to her shop. She saw that JingJing had a lunchbox in her hand and it was the one that she had given Feng Zeyu yesterday.

“Where did you get that from?” asked Shu Yan.

“An uncle left it in the reception office and the school security gave it to me.”

“Okay, good. Remember what Mommy had told you. Don’t talk to stranger and definitely do not accept anything from strangers, even if you see that it belongs to us.” Shu Yan repeated her warnings again.

“I know. I only took it after he left it in the reception office.”

“Good, Mommy just wanted to stress that again.” Shu Yan stroked JingJing on her head. Kids’ hair grew out fast and JingJing’s hair was already very long after three months, almost to her ears. She wouldn’t need to wear a hat anymore in another one to two months.

Had Shu Yan been eating by herself, she’d just go for something simple. But now that she was also making food for Feng Zeyu, she’d pay more attention when decided what to make for dinner.

Shu Yan smacked herself on her head. It had never occurred to her to ask him what he liked. But she figured men would prefer meat. She had already made braised pork yesterday. Perhaps she could make a sparerib soup today and a stir-fried meat dish with garlic, a braised shrimp dish, green bell pepper and beef stir fry plus a vegetable dish should be sufficient.

When the old lady saw Feng Zeyu returned with the same insulation box as yesterday, she was ecstatic. And even more so after she saw the dishes inside of it.
