"Get out!"
"I have no such intentions!"
Almost as soon as Qin Gang finished speaking, Qin Chuan cursed loudly and kicked his second brother in the backside, nearly making Qin Gang kneel on the spot.
Qin Shuren, Jiang Cuihua, and Li Ya, who were chatting by the bedside in the hospital room, were startled and turned to look.
Qin Gang's face immediately turned red, and he roared, ready to fight Qin Chuan.
This little brother of his had become more and more lawless lately, completely disregarding his second brother. Today, he had to regain his brotherly dignity.
The two brothers began to wrestle, leaving everyone in the room speechless. Qin Shuren and Jiang Cuihua reprimanded them with stern faces, scolding them for behaving like children at their age.
"Mom, I'll take Sister Li Ya out for a walk!"
Qin Chuan seized the opportunity to quickly say, fearing that further delay would lead to greater trouble and wanting to leave this place of contention as soon as possible.
"Go! Go!"
"You young people should spend more time together and get closer!"
Jiang Cuihua said happily, as if she wished for nothing more than this.
After Qin Chuan and Li Ya left, the elderly couple began to whisper to each other.
Seeing this, Qin Gang's eyes darted around, and he joined them, telling them everything he had seen.
"Xiao Gang, is everything you said true?"
"Did our Xiao Chuan and Li Ya really spend the whole night together?"
Qin Gang swore with all his might, "Of course it's true. I swear on our ancestors that not a single word is false."
"There's really something going on between Qin Chuan and Li Ya!"
However, fortunately, Qin Gang still had some conscience and did not tell his parents that his younger brother had an improper relationship with Yang, the beautiful teacher in the village, and publicly declared his intention to pursue her.
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan and Li Ya, having already left the hospital, were starting their car.
"Sister, where are we going now?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"Have you eaten?"
"I have!"
"I have too. How about this, let's go straight to my place. I have something I need your opinion on!"
Li Ya said.
"I knew it. You coming over so eagerly late at night must have ulterior motives!"
"Alas, if I had known, I wouldn't have called you!"
Qin Chuan looked dejected, like a slave being exploited by a landlord.
Li Ya raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and instinctively gave a charming scoff, "You dare!!"
"From now on, when you come to the city, you must report to me first!"
"Do you know, because of your unpredictable movements, I can't make up my mind on many things..."
As she spoke, Li Ya skillfully started the car and set off.
The Santana weaved through the county town streets and finally stopped outside a detached courtyard.
This was the central area of the county town, with rows of two-story houses. Although their style was ancient, each house occupied a large area. In a few years, when housing prices skyrocketed, every household would be swimming in wealth.
Qin Chuan pondered whether he should quickly take this opportunity to buy a house like this in the county town, so he could gain some benefits in advance.
Currently, small two-story houses like these in the county town cost only around twenty thousand yuan, which was very cheap and affordable.
He thought, if he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't get another.
Of course, he didn't even have twenty thousand yuan on him right now.
He had indeed earned some money recently, but after deducting his parents' hospital expenses and spending two thousand yuan on a mobile phone today, he only had a few thousand yuan left. Of course, if he included the five thousand yuan of 'ill-gotten gains' from the police station, he had over ten thousand.
But it was still far from enough, and he needed to make a quick fortune again.
While Qin Chuan's thoughts were racing, Li Ya had already gotten out of the car and unlocked the heavy gate with her key.
"Come in, you can leave the car outside!"
Qin Chuan got out of the car and looked at the dark two-story building. "Sister, why is it so dark? Are you alone at home?"
"Yes! I live here alone now!"
"My biological mother died early, and my father passed away last year. Now, only I live in this house."
Li Ya stated her family background naturally.
Qin Chuan keenly heard two very important words: "biological mother." This implied that there was now a stepmother, but he didn't know if there were any half-brothers or sisters.
But this was her family history, so he couldn't ask, and he was too lazy to ask anyway.
After turning on the lights, Qin Chuan saw the decoration and layout of the house. It was all early 70s or 80s style, very old.
Perhaps due to the lack of human presence for a long time, the house felt very desolate and empty. It was hard to imagine that this was where a beautiful businesswoman like Li Ya lived.
Of course, this place was still ten times better than the countryside.
"Make yourself comfortable. I'll go upstairs to get something."
Li Ya said and then quickly went upstairs. After a while, she reappeared, holding a stack of papers.
"Qin Chuan, come here and give me some advice!"
Li Ya called out to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan walked closer and saw that the papers were all designs for new clothing, including pants, tops, skirts, sweaters, and more, in various colors and patterns.
"Did you hire someone to design these?"
Qin Chuan asked in surprise, picking up a piece of paper.
"No, I didn't hire anyone. I relied on my memory to sketch some clothes I'd seen young people wear abroad and then made some minor changes."
Li Ya hid nothing from Qin Chuan.
"After all, I didn't study design professionally. All I can do now is imitate others and then incorporate a little of my own creativity."
"This is already very good!"
Qin Chuan praised, "The ancients often said that all writing is a form of copying. It's pretty much the same for making clothes. Everyone imitates others, and in the end, it depends on whose imitation is more creative!"
"If the creativity is good and it sells well, then it becomes your own brand!"
Li Ya nodded, "Ever since you mentioned the concept of branding last time, I've been thinking about this matter."
"I plan to carry out a drastic reform of Butterfly Clothing Factory, not only in terms of concept but also in action!"
"The current few clothing designs are the sharpest weapons I plan to use for this reform! For this, I've called in the few designers from the clothing factory and given the factory a holiday, suspending all work to focus on design!"
"Once the final plan is determined, I will find good fabrics and start customizing according to these designs!"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Your approach is excellent. Since you're determined to make the clothing factory excel, we must focus on quality rather than quantity!"
"We cannot take the ordinary route, as that will only make us blend in with the crowd!"
"Yes, that's what I think too!"
A strong light flickered in Li Ya's eyes, and Qin Chuan saw the precursor of a strong businesswoman.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you a question!"
"What?"
Li Ya looked confused.
Qin Chuan asked, "After making these clothes, do you plan to sell them yourself, or find agents?"
"Of course, I'll find agents. How much sales can we achieve by selling them ourselves?"
Li Ya answered this question almost without hesitation, with a decisive tone.
"But Butterfly Clothing Factory is a factory with no reputation at all. At most, it's slightly known in our county. Why do you think those agents will choose our clothes?"
Qin Chuan asked another sharp question.
"This... Of course, we need to advertise. I plan to invest a large sum of money!"
Li Ya replied, clearly having thought about this issue already.
"Advertising is indeed the best choice, but advertising costs are very high, often tens or hundreds of thousands. For state-owned enterprises, an advertisement can cost millions!"
"Smaller platforms have poor results."
"If the results are not good, all this money will be wasted! It will be a fatal blow to the clothing factory that has just started to improve!"
"Do you dare to take such a big risk?"
Qin Chuan's questions became even sharper, hitting the nail on the head.
Li Ya finally fell silent, her expression becoming extremely solemn.
