Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 759 - 712: Being Robbed_2

You Pei was standing by with a steamed bun, not saying much, while Liao Ye and Han Yi bantered; he had already finished a bun.

When Liao Ye lowered his head to add more food, half of the two dishes on the table were already gone.

"You Pei, you’re too clever, eating quietly all by yourself," Liao Ye said, giving up bantering with Han Yi and starting to snatch food with You Pei.

Lin Wan knew this would happen, so she prepared another dish for them in the kitchen.

There wasn’t much porridge, so Lin Wan made two bowls of crushed eggs.

"By the way, when will we invite Junzi over? We should get together since we’re in the same city and haven’t met yet," Liao Ye said.

"Soon. In half a month, they’ll be here for a big competition with us, so they’ll definitely come by then."

"That’s great! This time, I have to compete with him," Liao Ye was feeling eager inside.

"By the way, Mei Langchi has been detained for a while, wonder how he’s doing."

"How can it be good? In a place like that, it won’t go well," You Pei laughed twice.

Han Yi next to him picked some food for his wife and smiled at him, "Thanks for the help this time."

"No need to thank me, I’m the treasure of the You Family. Last time, because of him, I almost died; the elders at home surely won’t forgive him."

Liao Ye raised his eyebrows, understanding why the Mei Family failed this time due to You Family’s intervention, thinking Mei Langchi wouldn’t be well inside.

...The wholesale market’s building was renovated, and Lin Wan hired three people to train at the retail shop, ready to stock up as soon as Su Ling’s goods arrived.

Lin Wan can’t stay at the wholesale market all day, where people start working very early, so they need someone on their own there.

However, everyone she knows has their own job and there’s no suitable candidate. Lin Wan has been searching for someone suitable these days.

Through this, Lin Wan realized a problem: running wholesale and a retail shop simultaneously is too much to handle, with many drawbacks.

Upon realizing the problem, Lin Wan contacted Su Ling, believing agents should be separate from retail shops.

Agents should focus on wholesale without overthinking other aspects.

After discussing with Su Ling, Lin Wan started handling the wholesale store, even though there were drawbacks; they were at this stage, so it had to be done.

"Manager, how is the wholesale store going?" Yang Kui cautiously asked Lin Wan during her break in the rest room.

"Still the same, can’t find a suitable person," Lin Wan rubbed her temples and sighed.

"Manager, do you think I can do it? I mean, can I work on this?"

Lin Wan wasn’t quite sure, thinking she was unhappy here and wanted a change, "What’s wrong? Unhappy here? You can tell me if there’s a problem."

Yang Kui is considered one of the good employees at the shop, diligent and reliable; Lin Wan usually lets her man the counter when she’s not around.

"...No," Yang Kui smiled shyly, "Everything’s good here. Manager, you take good care of me, and I’m happy working here. The reason I approached you today is... I want to be our agent, do you think that’s possible?"

Yang Kui’s words surprised Lin Wan; she had considered many around her except Yang Kui, thinking she was too young, lacking funds and experience. Lin Wan wasn’t optimistic about her being an agent.

Seeing Lin Wan frown, Yang Kui quickly explained without waiting for her to speak, "I’ve learned a lot about our factories these days. An agent needs funds and customer sources. Although... although I lack these, I... I really want this business. Manager, please let me be the agent, I guarantee... I’ll definitely do well and won’t disappoint you." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Lin Wan paused, looked at Yang Kui for a moment, and said, "What can you guarantee me? Is it abundant funds or a customer source you already have?"

"I... I can borrow from family and friends for money. Maybe initially not as competitive as other cities’ agents, but I guarantee results within half a year and won’t let the factory down."

"I know, you might think I’m young and inexperienced, only making empty promises. But please believe in me, I can do it."

"Why do you want to be an agent?" Lin Wan didn’t respond but asked instead.

"I... I want to earn more money, just to get eye surgery for my mom. During this time working in our shop, I’ve learned a lot from you, knowing the profit margin in clothing business is high, and I’ve secretly calculated wholesale profits."

"Do you know that doing wholesale is different from retail, wholesale profit for ten pieces may not be as high as retail for one item? Besides, clothing business is prone to inventory pressure. Once you’ve inventory pressure, it ties up a lot of funds, and if you can’t sell, it results in losses."

"This... I’ve considered, but not about inventory pressure. But I don’t see it as a big issue; once it comes, solutions will arise. I know I have much to learn, but I want to personally experience it. Without trying, how would I know if I can do it?"

Upon hearing Yang Kui’s words, Lin Wan smiled, pointed to a nearby chair, letting her sit, and said, "I can let you be the agent. Also, money shouldn’t be an issue, I have a property to use. But, I have conditions."

Yang Kui looked at Lin Wan in surprise, unable to believe it, thinking convincing the manager would take some effort.

"What conditions, manager? Just say, I’ll accept them all."

"I haven’t mentioned any conditions, yet you agree to all of them. What if it’s a trap, would you jump in it?"

"Any trap you set is shallow anyway, I trust you," Yang Kui smiled, shaking her head.

"My condition is simple: first batch, the initial goods I’ll fund, then all future goods are up to you. In the wholesale market, I have a ready property for you to hang clothes and sell. You can use it, but at market rate, monthly rent is twenty dollars. For the first batch, I only want the cost. However, after that, I want fifty percent of your net profit for three months. Is that okay? If so, I’ll grant you the agent."

"Agree, I agree," Yang Kui didn’t hesitate, excitedly grabbing Lin Wan’s hand.

These terms seemed harsh yet perfect to her. She has nothing, essentially talking big. Under such conditions, having the boss trust her, providing her clothes and property, is like a windfall.

Lin Wan agreed to Yang Kui because, in a flash, she saw herself through this young girl a few years ago in Huai Town. Back then, she needed help.

At that time, she wasn’t as lucky as Yang Kui, meeting a perceptive boss like herself. People can make life-changing difference by extending a hand when they can.

After agreeing with Yang Kui, Lin Wan made a call to Su Ling, and within days, the goods arrived.

Lin Wan didn’t just leave the clueless Yang Kui alone; she trained two people in her shop, with one following Yang Kui.
