Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Difficult Sister Earns Big Money
Suizi didn’t really want to go, because dining with people she hardly knew was simply pure torment. As for social obligations at home, Yu Jingting took care of them all.
"Come with me, please." Shen Liangyin pleaded.
Suizi thought for a moment, suddenly brightening up.
"Do you know anyone at the printing factory?"
"Yeah, I do. My uncle works there. Why do you ask?"
"If you promise me one thing, I’ll go with you."
"What is it?"
"Come closer, I’ll tell you, we’ll do it like this—"
Suizi murmured.
Shen Liangyin merely sneered after listening.
"Chen Hansui, aren’t you an intellectual? How come you’re not lofty at all, and even more money-minded than me, a businessman?"
"Who said intellectuals have to be lofty? Without money, what can you eat or drink? Enough with your blabbering, I’ll split thirty percent of the profit with you."
"That’s my uncle’s machine, my dinner party, and you’re giving me thirty percent? Are you trying to fool a fool?"
"For distribution in the later stage, I need to find people, right? Does your mall connections trump mine? Is your popularity better than mine?"
"Fifty-fifty," Shen Liangyin bargained.
"Deal." Suizi agreed readily. Looking at her triumphant manner, Shen Liangyin felt somewhat at a disadvantage.
"Does Yu Jingting know you’re as cunning as a fox?"
"Eh, we’re women, who doesn’t have two faces? Do you dare to go out on the street without makeup?" Suizi openly admitted her love for money.
Who could resist making some extra cash?
Once she starts attending school with Yu Jingting, she didn’t want to depend on her family for finances. It wouldn’t look good as they were now a family of their own.
Both women are pragmatists. Shen Liangyin went to the printing factory, while Suizi went to the department store to find Wang Hui.
"What?! Autographed posters and postcards of celebrities?!" Wang Hui became excited as soon as she heard it.
"Can we sell them?" Suizi asked.
"Won’t they be snatched up as soon as they’re available? The key is, are they genuine? Save me a couple, my maiden loves him."
"They’re authentic. I’ll take pictures when he’s signing, what we sell will certainly be genuine. We’ll sell them in limited quantities, is 50 cents too much for one?"
"50 cents? You’re underestimating the stars. We sell ordinary postcards for 10 cents, to sell autographed ones for 2 dollars is considered cheap, and they’ll be in short supply."
"When Jingting returns, let him find some buddies to line up and buy all of these, then we can resell them on the black market at double the price, and we’ll split the profits."
Shrewd businesswoman Suizi planned everything clearly.
Wang Hui laughed so hard she could hardly close her mouth. This friend of hers was really worth keeping. When it came to making money, she truly considered Wang Hui.
As it was their first time doing this, Suizi didn’t want to order too many, she asked Shen Liangyin to get 100 postcards and 20 posters.
In the end, Shen Liangyin came back with a bag full of them, sweating profusely.
"500 postcards, 100 posters, just treat my uncle to a meal."
"This many?!"
"What else can we do? You thought the printing factory’s machine is like your office’s shoddy printer? The minimum for a print run is this many, luckily we have connections, otherwise the setup costs would scare you."
"The key point is, can we really bring this many over there? Will they be able to sign them all?"
Suizi wondered if Gong Xin could finish signing them all even if he was exhausted. There were so many, wouldn’t it take several hours just to sign them?
Even though the actors of this era aren’t as precious as those in the future, none of them were good-tempered enough to sign hundreds of autographs for a stranger at once, right?
"We’ll bring them all over, however many he can sign is however many we’ll have, as for the rest, we’ll sell them cheaper."
Suizi thought that was reasonable, and thus the money-making squad was established.
In the evening, Suizi rode her bicycle, the basket filled with postcards and posters, with Shen Liangyin on the back seat.
Shen Liangyin was wearing a skirt, so she was a bit self-conscious, and adamantly refused to ride Suizi’s bike, especially after Suizi and Yu Jingting nearly ran her over last time, she had a bit of a mental trauma.
However, she was down on her luck now, and she was not the Factory Director who could be chauffeured around just by raising her voice. With Yu Jingting not at home, no one was there to drive the tractor, and the restaurant they were going to was quite far away, so she had no choice but to resort to this means.
"Chen Hansui, are you sure you can handle this, you are not going to throw me off, right?" Shen Liangyin asked.
"My skills are pretty good. Last time it was just because Yu Jingting is too sturdy, he even messed around and didn’t cooperate, but you’ll be fine if you just sit still."
Suizi was full of confidence.
"I’m scared just by looking at your frenzied way of turning corners, are you not going to crash into a tree?"
Ever since Shen Liangyin got involved with Suizi, her popularity in the factory had greatly improved. Previously, she had tried to speak Mandarin as much as possible in order to maintain her image. Now, she was completely letting go of herself.
"You look down on me too much— Ah!" Suizi screamed. Shen Liangyin leaped off the back seat, and Suizi used her foot to support the bike.
"What happened?"
"The bike chain came off...." Suizi didn’t expect such misfortune.
"What do we do now?! There’s no bike repair around here, we can’t possibly push the bike all the way there, can we?"
Usually, when such incidents happened, Suizi wouldn’t be worried. If Yu Jingting was present, he could easily fix it.
But for girls, fixing a detached bike chain was a challenge— their hands would get all dirty and it was quite troublesome.
"I’ll fix it." Suizi rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
Shen Liangyin had always thought that Chen Hansui was just like her, a delicate girl.
But when faced with a problem, Chen was decisive and got right on it with a heroic demeanor.
She might appear strong, but she was a bit clumsy. She fiddled with the chain for quite a while and still couldn’t get it back on, which infuriated Shen Liangyin. She gave instructions from the side and was just short of doing it herself.
Finally, after much struggle, Suizi managed to fix the chain, but her hands were covered in grease.
"I’m going to get some water to clean it up, you wait here." Shen Liangyin was disgusted. She was afraid that Suizi might get her white skirt dirty with her greasy hands.
There were several houses nearby, all with doors open. At this time, everyone was kind-hearted and getting a ladle of cold water was not a difficult task.
Shen Liangyin entered the nearest house, knocking on the door.
Suizi patiently waited outside.
The door was opened and out came a person. As Shen Liangyin saw who it was, her face changed.
Suizi’s face also changed.
The person who came out wasn’t just anybody, it was Wang Mengmeng, whom Suizi had transferred from the night school to Mr. Shen’s side.
Suizi didn’t know Wang Mengmeng had moved here. But since this wasn’t the staff dormitory and conditions looked rather comfortable, she could guess the reason just with a bit of thought.
She was definitely hooking up with Father Shen, acting as his mistress, or perhaps mistress number four.
Since Wang Mengmeng left the night school, she had been dressing better than before. She was definitely not short on money.
Seeing it was Shen Liangyin, she was startled at first, but then she remembered that Shen Liangyin had been kicked out of the Shen family, and immediately became arrogant.
"Oh, you’re still alive? If I were you, I’d drown myself in my own pee."
Shen Liangyin’s lips tightened. If she had known this was Wang Mengmeng’s house, she wouldn’t have knocked at all.
Back when she was still at home, Wang Mengmeng would even call in the middle of the night to provoke Shen Liangyin’s mother, and she was extremely arrogant.
"I heard you took a nasty fall in front of a crowd of people, even your underwear was exposed? You’re just like your mother, both of you are whores. You’ve lost all face and dignity, why do you still have the shame to live?"
"Taking a tumble is just an unfortunate accident. However, some people are naturally shameless, determined to destroy other people’s families. That’s beyond help." Suizi walked over and scolded Wang Mengmeng.
