The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 385 - 374: Partnership Business

After the postpartum celebration ended, Lu Jingqiu only introduced Shen Manman to Father Lu in the evening.

Father Lu smiled and said, "Jingqiu has been an only child since she was little, and the lack of siblings has always been a regret for her mother and me. Now that you have this little sister, you two can support each other in the future, just like real siblings."

Father Lu didn’t expect his daughter’s recognized sister to come over, and he wasn’t prepared for it, so he took out the money he had prepared for his daughter and wrapped it in a red packet for Shen Manman.

Shen Manman hurriedly refused but eventually accepted it after everyone persuaded her.

Shen Manman was quite touched in her heart. Apart from family, there were very few people who were so generous and sincere to her in this world.

Uncle Zhao was, of course, one of them.

Uncle Shen and his mother didn’t have much of a vacation this time, so they had to leave the next day.

This time they would also take Shen Mu with them because Uncle Shen had found him a temporary job in a governmental institution, to get some exposure in the workplace and prepare for his future after graduation.

Father Lu would wait two more days before returning because he wanted to go pay his respects to his wife.

Lu Jingqiu then asked Shen Manman to leave with her father.

Shen Manman stayed on the second floor in these two days, on Yiyi’s bed.

Lu Jingqiu also wanted to visit her mother, but she couldn’t go out right now.

After sending Uncle Shen and his mother off, Jiang Nanzhou went with his father to Capital City.

Although Shen Manman was in West City, she kept busy, riding her bicycle around the city from morning till night, visiting various textile factories.

She was looking for the material used in sanitary pads, and Shen Manman was the type of person who, when she decided to do something, did it with utmost seriousness.

Unfortunately, she didn’t find such materials in West City over these two days.

Eventually, she followed her father to Capital City.

The two of them took a direct flight from the team, tsk, she had never been on a plane before.

Jiang Nanzhou, hearing her sour complaints, laughed and said, "You will have a chance in the future. My wife can make money, so buying a plane in the future isn’t impossible."

Lu Jingqiu glanced at him and smiled, "It’s not impossible, look, we are even preparing to buy a car now."

Since Wei Jincheng and my second cousin planned to partner up to buy the land, they had been running around with Shang Ze these past two days.

It was said that they were going to sign the contract and process the paperwork today, and Jiang Nanzhou went with them as well.

They left in the morning and didn’t return until the afternoon.

Lu Jingqiu couldn’t wait to ask, "Did you succeed? It wasn’t a one-time payment. With Shang Ze’s father acting as a guarantor, they first paid fifty percent, and the other fifty percent was mortgaged against the land at the bank. The bank paid directly, and they just have to pay it back to the bank after a year. This is my first time hearing that such operations are possible."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "Actually, it’s all the same. It’s like taking a loan from the bank using the land as collateral, using the loan money to pay the government, and if the bank’s money is paid back within the term, the land is really yours. If you can’t pay it back, the land will be taken by the bank and sold to make up for what you owe to the bank."

"That’s the idea, but most people don’t dare to operate like this. Both of them are bold and really dared to do it."

"Over five hundred thousand... How much did my second cousin put in?"

"He put in five hundred thousand. Four hundred thousand for the land and a hundred thousand for business."

"Oh, then I will put in thirty thousand. What do you think?"

"Whatever works, it’s your money so you can invest as much as you want."

Lu Jingqiu laughed and hugged him, "Everything is mine, your money is mine, and my money is yours, we don’t separate ours and theirs."

"Yeah, the wife is right."

After Wei Jincheng bought the land.

He directly discussed investment matters with a few people.

Lu Jingqiu contributed thirty thousand yuan, but Wei Jincheng said it was too little: "Comrade Jingqiu, fifty thousand, can you do fifty thousand? We’re really short on cash."

Lu Jingqiu glanced at Jiang Nanzhou, who smiled helplessly and nodded: "Alright, then fifty thousand it is."

Shang Ze really couldn’t come up with that much; his future career wouldn’t allow him to do this, but his wife could. Previously, when his wife gave birth, Xue Jianian had distributed the profits from the beef soup shop, five thousand yuan each, and coupled with their savings of several thousand, they left one thousand for household expenses and borrowed a few thousand from Father Lu to make up ten thousand yuan.

Wei Jincheng was under a lot of pressure, and ten thousand yuan was indeed enough to build a factory building.

As soon as the contract was signed, they started looking for someone to plan the construction of the factory.

Lu Jingqiu quickly asked, "My roommate studied architecture; the design for the cinema in West City was hers. Do you want drawings for your factory building?"

Wei Jincheng replied, "Of course, we need them. After all, it’s for long-term use, and I’ve seen the new garment factories in Yangcheng City; they’re all well planned. How good is your classmate?"

"She’s unquestionably skilled."

"Great, talk to her about it, then. For the design fee, I can give up to two hundred yuan at most."

"Okay, I’ll ask her."

Lu Jingqiu sent He Yu a telegram that very day. Although it was expensive on account of its length, it was for convenience.

She first asked He Yu to learn about the new factory buildings for garment factories in Shanghai, to draw inspiration from them.

The dimensions of their land hadn’t been determined yet, so they had to wait a bit before informing him.

After finalizing the contract, Second Cousin went to Yangcheng City overnight.

He wanted to see if Lin Country had any advanced machinery and inquire about the prices.

After purchasing land, Wei Jincheng wasn’t in a hurry and returned to Yangcheng City with Niannian right away.

Lu Jingqiu mocked them for being so carefree.

In actuality, the couple was earning money while traveling all around the country.

By the time Luo Xinyue finished her postpartum period, over a month of vacation had passed.

But she didn’t dare to go out, as she still shouldn’t catch a chill.

So the two of them still couldn’t meet.

Only a week after her confinement did she come over by herself.

Looking at Xiao Cheng’s plump appearance, she laughed, "Both boys are so fair and plump."

"Can you bring Xiao Jun out yet?"

"Yes, but he’s too small; I’m afraid to hold him. Come over another day, and take a look; that boy is even chubbier than Xiao Cheng."

"Your milk supply is that good?"

"How could it not be? Every day it’s either pig’s feet soup, fish soup, or bone soup from my mom and mother-in-law, and it’s very bland too, hardly any salt. It’s quite enough for me. How about you?"

"I haven’t been sticking to just bland soups every day. Aside from spicy food, I eat everything. My milk supply is okay and sufficient for my Xiao Cheng."

"Really?" Luo Xinyue was incredulous and insisted on staying for a meal to see what Lu Jingqiu was eating.

That day for lunch, Aunt Zhang steamed some rice, stir-fried potato shreds, made one dish of sautéed greens, and one of steamed eggplant.

The dishes were light but tasty, and Luo Xinyue ate a bowl of rice.

After returning home, she didn’t know how to complain to the two mothers, but the next day, Luo Xinyue’s mother came over to learn how to prepare postpartum meals from Aunt Zhang.

Upon meeting Lu Jingqiu, Luo Xinyue’s mother suddenly felt that their way of feeding her daughter was wrong; her daughter had put on ten pounds during her confinement, whereas Lu Jingqiu looked almost the same as before she’d given birth.

Her daughter was now obviously over-nourished.
