Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Negotiating Cooperation_1 Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Negotiating Cooperation_1 The photo shoot was over, and Nan Fei had nothing to do with what happened next. She still hadn’t figured out what small items she should wholesale to sell back home, a problem that was giving her a headache.
The next day, she went to the small commodities wholesale market again, where she looked around the entire morning without finding anything satisfactory.
She had lunch at a small snack stall outside and suddenly thought of a good way to run a small business.
She realized she had been thinking wrong before. Why sell small commodities? To rural folks, no decoration beats practical household items, and no household item trumps a full belly.
School would start on September 1st, and rural areas would soon enter the busy autumn harvest season. This would be the time when the “autumn tiger” – the heat lingering in early autumn, was at its fiercest, with chilly mornings and evenings but torridly hot noontimes.
The students who went home for lunch during school had no time to cook and would buy some food at school.
She could totally collaborate with her mother to sell chilled noodles at the school gate.
Her father was currently making tofu and dried tofu, the principle of which was the same as making chilled noodles and jelly noodles.
It was a good opportunity for her father to add one more product line, which also conveniently provided her mother with raw materials.
Once Nan Fei came to this decision, she didn’t want to waste any more time. She headed straight back to the inn from the small commodities wholesale market, ready to pack her stuff to return home. She had been out for quite a while, and it would soon be the 28th. She was on edge in fear everyday.
Back at the inn, as soon as she entered, she saw Mr. Wu sitting on the couch in the lobby. Seeing her come in, he promptly stood up.
“Are you looking for me?”
“Exactly!” Wu Huai’s eyes were bloodshot, as it seemed he had been working non-stop after the photo shoot finished. He had a lot of responsibilities like post-production design, advertising, and other related aspects. It was a lot.
“Do you remember what I told you yesterday?”
Of course Nan Fei remembered. She was just confident in her design, and thus, was not in a hurry.
Seeing her expression, Wu Huai smiled wryly, “You do remember! It’s true what they say about temper matching talent.”
Nan Fei shook her head with a smile, “Wrong! For me, painting, designing or modeling are all outside my professional plan.”
So even if she remembered, her interest was not strong and she certainly wasn’t proactive about them.
Wu Huai displayed a surprised expression, “Your talent in drawing is among the highest I’ve seen, clearly polished through years of tough training. If you don’t draw, isn’t that a waste of talent and disrespect to your own efforts?”
He naturally assumed that Jiang Nanfei’s future goal would be to become an artist.
She didn’t want to discuss drawing further, so she changed the subject. “Please, have a seat, Mr. Wu.”
Once they both sat down on the sofa, Nan Fei didn’t keep him in suspense and said directly, “The previous works were gifts for Sister Chen. If you want to continue working with me in the future, you can buy them.”
“Name your price!” Wu Huai was a forthright person, and he didn’t beat around the bush.
All he needed was Jiang Nanfei’s willingness to continue working with him while maintaining her previous design talent and inspiration.
“I’m going home tomorrow. I have Sister Chen’s contact number. We can communicate over the phone or through letters.” She stood up, went to the cashier for pen and paper, and left her contact details with Wu Huai.
She gave him both her school and home contacts.
“You can send letters to my home during the winter and summer holidays, and mail to the school during the term.”
