Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 9 Which porcelain factory does your lover work in?

Along the way, Shen Qingqing held the wooden box carefully in her arms.

Whenever the car was a little bumpy, she would try her best to ensure that the wooden box remained stable.

That posture of facing a formidable enemy was so funny that even Mr. Zhang, who had seen it several times in the rearview mirror, found it funny.

But he was also very happy. After all, Shen Qingqing was his niece's friend. How could Mr. Zhang not be happy to have a friend who cared so much about her?
He withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror and glanced at Shen Rongzhou, who was sitting quietly and honestly next to him. He was also responsible for watching the road for him and reporting the road conditions from time to time.

This is also something that truck drivers need to learn, but it is not included in the course requirements for the driver's license. Instead, it is only mentioned when experienced drivers guide novices.

Mr. Zhang had also worked on transportation trucks before, so he naturally knew about this aspect.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Rongzhou actually started learning from the old driver so quickly.

This car hasn't even been driven yet.

Mr. Zhang had a positive impression of Shen Rongzhou.

They soon arrived at Chen Man's house. Shen Qingqing, sitting in the back seat, could see Chen Man jumping and waving happily at the door from afar.

As soon as the car stopped, Shen Qingqing didn't even have to open the door herself, Chen Man opened it from the outside: "Qingqing!"

Shen Qingqing was infected by Chen Man's excitement and smiled widely: "Manman, happy birthday!"

She jumped out of the car and handed the wooden box to Chen Man: "Here, this is your birthday present!"

Chen Man's eyes sparkled as she took the wooden box and kept stroking it.

"Let's go in and open it and take a look!" Shen Qingqing saw her desire and spoke out.

The two little girls were walking hand in hand in front, and behind them, Mr. Zhang and Shen Rongzhou were talking about whether Shen Rongzhou could speed up his progress on his own and take the driver's license test earlier.

Chen Man's parents are preparing a birthday party for her at home in the evening and have invited a chef who knows how to cook banquets to help.

Shen Qingqing followed Chen Man into the living room, greeted her grandparents, and stood by to watch her open the gifts.

Chen Man rubbed her hands expectantly, then opened the buckle on the front of the wooden box and slowly lifted the lid.

"Wow!!!!" Chen Man exclaimed, "It looks so good!!!"

Mr. Zhang, who was walking in slowly behind, heard his niece's scream and hurried over to see what was going on.

But at first sight, his attention was attracted by the set of porcelain figurines placed in front of his niece.

The porcelain is pure and delicate, the glaze is translucent, and the red paint applied on the glaze is not only not abrupt, but also gives the feeling that the little man is really wearing clothes.

The facial expressions and age characteristics of each little person are very clear and vivid.

Chaocheng porcelain is mostly daily necessities, and high-end porcelain exports are mostly large pieces. Such small and exquisite pieces are rare.

When Mr. Zhang saw the familiar wooden box, his smile became even more amiable. "Little boy, where did you buy this gift for Manman?"

Shen Qingqing answered openly: "My mother gave it to me."

Mr. Zhang immediately looked at Shen Rongzhou, "Rongzhou, do you know where your wife bought it?"

When Li Xunli told Shen Qingqing that night, Shen Rongzhou also heard it. He smiled and said, "It's not bought. My wife made it herself."

Hearing this answer, Mr. Zhang was a little surprised, and his smile towards Shen Rongzhou was much more friendly than before: "Rongzhou, which porcelain factory does your wife work in now?" Shen Rongzhou was about to answer when Shen Qingqing interrupted him: "Uncle Zhang, my mother is in Shancheng now!"

Shen Rongzhou's original answer was stuck and he turned his gaze to his daughter.

He saw Shen Qingqing looking at him obediently and innocently, and blinked her eyes.

For some unknown reason, Shen Rongzhou didn't say anything.

He thought that what his daughter said was right. Li Xunli was in Shancheng now, but she didn't say that she was working in Shancheng.

Mr. Zhang pondered for a moment and did not continue the topic. Instead, he patted Shen Rongzhou on the back and said, "Rongzhou, let's talk more later."

"Uncle! Today is my birthday! No talking about work!" Chen Man was placing the little porcelain figures one by one. When she heard what Mr. Zhang said, she immediately shouted.

Mr. Zhang was caught red-handed by his niece, so he had to put aside his idea of ​​having a good chat with Shen Rongzhou at the dinner table. The birthday girl is the most important person in the world, not to mention that she is the only child of both families.

Shen Qingqing smiled at her father, then immersed herself in playing the game of little porcelain figurines with Chen Man.

However, no matter how much she played with it, every time she picked up the little porcelain figure, she would pretend to casually show it in the direction of Mr. Zhang.

In addition to the small porcelain figurines, there are also some matching small furniture items.

Mr. Zhang did give Shen Qingqing a satisfactory response, and most of his attention was focused on the set of small porcelain.

It's like studying how to burn it.

Chaocheng's porcelain is mostly known for its daily-use porcelain and decorative porcelain, and in later generations it also enjoyed the title of a national characteristic industrial base for daily-use ceramics.

Mr. Zhang’s export line actually has a higher proportion of daily-use porcelain than other types of porcelain.

So he has been looking for a breakthrough.

However, Chaocheng's artistic porcelain with collection value has been slow to appear on the market because the raw materials used are different from those of porcelain from other places. It took many years for it to gradually emerge in the collection market.

Now that Mr. Zhang sees an opportunity, of course he wants to seize it.

However, there is a huge difference in the firing techniques between porcelain fired in a unified industrial kiln and porcelain carefully fired by an individual, even if the raw materials are the same, not to mention the final product.

Shen Qingqing really hopes that Li Xunli can have a stable job of her own, because she wants to see a mother who is different from her previous life and has energy and spirit.

So even if this job requires separation, she hopes Li Xunli can give it a try.

However, Shen Qingqing came up with a bold idea because of her mother's unique ceramic making skills and Mr. Zhang's attitude towards this set of porcelain fired more than ten years ago.

It is true that there is no one in their family who knows how to do business, but their family is not just the Shen family, her uncle's family is also their family!

Although my uncle's company in my previous life was not very successful, after deducting taxes and all costs, the net profit was still about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year.

That's why they had to keep spending money in the hospital to keep Li Xunli alive, otherwise Li Xunli might not even survive a year.

If that’s the case, why can’t we work together as a family to make the business bigger and stronger?
Besides, isn’t there a very interested future big entrepreneur waiting here?

Of course, when it comes to clinging to someone's influence, the sooner the better, and the closer the relationship with the person's influence, the better!
If everything goes well tonight, her uncle might be the only one to go home, and her mother would stay in Shancheng to officially start working.

But if something unexpected happens, Shen Qingqing feels that her new idea is also quite promising!
