Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 96 Making money is the most important thing

"Thank you, haha." Jin Yuanyuan directly refused Zhao Zhuoran's offer. "First, thank you for celebrating my birthday. Although it was a surprise in the end, I was quite happy. But please, don't let it happen again."

"Oh." Zhao Zhuoran rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed. "I was just thinking of celebrating your birthday. Actually, fireworks are pretty nice."

"It's a good idea," Jin Yuanyuan nodded in agreement. However, as a former public relations director, she disliked this approach the most. "But you need to understand your client's needs and preferences. Every detail should be considered. For example, I like fireworks, but I don't like fire. Especially at big events, I can't stand open flames. You know how much trouble we caused because of that small fire."

Zhao Zhuoran became increasingly uncomfortable, and Cao Xiaoyu nudged Jin Yuanyuan, signaling her to reconsider her words.

Jin Yuanyuan didn't want to say too much, and sighed again, "I'm still very grateful that you care about me. However, I really haven't decided whether I want to be in a relationship... To be honest, I think I'm fine as I am now, making money is the more important thing right now."

In short, it's a refusal.

Zhao Zhuoran understood the meaning behind those words, and chuckled, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, good friends are fine."

"Hmm, that's good." Jin Yuanyuan stood up and saw Zhu Hongying, who had already seen Sister Hong off, chatting with Li Lianqing. So she nudged Cao Xiaoyu, "Why don't you send them all back and leave my mother with me?"

"Huh?" Cao Xiaoyu didn't react for a moment.

"I usually just have noodles with my parents, so I'll eat here." Jin Yuanyuan nudged him again.

"Then I can eat with you too," Cao Xiaoyu said, not wanting to leave.

"No, don't get involved in this. I just saw that they were both in pretty good spirits today, so I let them have some birthday noodles with me... The braised pork intestine noodles are already made, right? We'll just have a bowl of noodles." Jin Yuanyuan patted Cao Xiaoyu. "It's not easy for the three of us in our family to get together and have a bowl of noodles, it's been twenty years."

"Okay, okay. I'll take them and go right now." Cao Xiaoyu immediately took out his car keys. "Call me if you need anything, I can be right back."

"Go ahead." Jin Yuanyuan even seemed a bit weathered at this moment. "Zhao Zhuoran, may I use this place?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Zhuoran nodded immediately, and quickly told his waiter to clean out a private room. "Shall I prepare a few more dishes?"

"Then forget it, I can't eat anymore. As for Dad's braised pork intestine noodles... well, let him make them himself." Jin Yuanyuan knew that she had to eat this bowl of noodles with Jin Yuanbao today, so she called Zhu Hongying to join her. It had been twenty years since the family had sat down to eat my birthday noodles together, and this might be the only chance.

Anyway, the family of three eventually sat down together, each with a bowl of braised pork intestine noodles. Jin Yuanbao smiled happily and looked at Jin Yuanyuan, saying, "Try it, see if my cooking skills have improved? When you were little, you loved my braised pork intestine noodles, but you disliked the taste, so I always had to scrub the intestines for a long time. Now the service is much better; the intestines they deliver are already cleaned, so I scrubbed them again."

"It's alright, quite tasty." Jin Yuanyuan picked up a piece of large intestine and took a bite; it did indeed taste good. She then looked at Zhu Hongying, who picked up a mouthful of noodles and ate it without saying a word.

"Yuanyuan is another year older, what are your wishes?" The question sounded just like when she was a little girl celebrating her birthday with them. Time can't be turned back; she's really grown up.

"I hope our family of three can have a few more meals together." Jin Yuanyuan's wish is very simple.

"You're not going abroad anymore?" Jin Yuanbao asked again.

"Let's not go out for now, let's focus on doing what's in front of us well. Didn't you also teach me that only by doing every task well can I do more meaningful things?"

"That's true. The future is the future, and the present is the present." Jin Yuanbao nodded, and Zhu Hongying nodded as well.

The meal was rather simple, lasting only about the time it would take to eat a bowl of noodles. But for Jin Yuanyuan, it was still quite important. She even took out her phone and took two selfies with her parents, and Zhu Hongying didn't object.

However, Zhu Hongying left after finishing her noodles without saying anything to Jin Yuanbao. Jin Yuanbao grinned and simply said, "It's fine, it's fine."

Life returned to normal. Jin Yuanyuan was busy at Jin Yaya's place, and the renovation was quickly completed. Liu Xiangyue personally designed the interior decoration, and it looked quite nice. The new sock knitting machines were finally delivered. Ye Huanxi took leave to come here to learn how to assemble them from the German engineers, and then teach everyone how to use them. Everything went smoothly.

The next step is to make money.

Cao Xiaoyu was already feeling immense pressure, so he asked Jin Yuanyuan to do more live streams and promotional events in the newly renovated office. In his own words, "Even small things have value. If you sell a few hundred yuan worth of goods in your live stream every day, that's still money."

Thinking about it, that made sense, so Jin Yuanyuan started live streaming on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Since the number of viewers had only increased from a little over a hundred to two or three hundred, she considered buying some viewership data, but then felt that since it was all her business, why bother with such insincere data manipulation? So, she decided to just turn on her camera and continue chatting with everyone.

Liu Xiangyue is quite amusing; she actually brought her own cat over. It's an adorable golden shaded kitten with a big face and big eyes. It's incredibly well-behaved, with garlic-clove-shaped fur, and it doesn't struggle no matter how much you pet it. Many people who come to the live stream did so because of this cat.

The new machine is highly productive, and with timely instructions, socks can be produced quickly. Jin Yuanyuan noticed that Morandi colors are quite popular lately, so she asked Liu Xiangyue if they could create a "Morandi Seven-Day Sock Gift Box," with seven colors available as a set.

Without hesitation, Liu Xiangyue turned around, went out, and made a set. Jin Yuanyuan took a picture and posted it in the live stream link, and surprisingly, someone placed an order very quickly.

With the success of this attempt, Jin Yuanyuan's confidence soared, and she immediately had them start the machine and produce 1000 sets to sell here.

As the number of live streams increased, the online promotion efforts also increased significantly. Gradually, due to big data, the platform gained popularity, and hundreds of pairs of shoes were sold every day, generating real income.

However, one day someone left a comment in the live stream asking: "Jin Yaya and Jin Jia's shipping addresses differ by only one house number. Are you related?"
