Chapter 175 Yunshang Commercial Building

Li Yang readily agreed and rushed to Songjia Village after hanging up the phone.

"Uncle, how many flower baskets do we have left? Director Mu called and asked me to send them all to the bus station."

Hearing the car, Zhao Xiaojuan ran out. "Ah, all of them? There are still over a hundred left? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"That's right, Director Mu said he wants as many as he has, and will have them transported to the city by passenger bus tomorrow morning."

"The city? He went to Anxi City?" Song Wanli was surprised. Wasn't he supposed to go to Zhou County?

"Yes, Uncle, it's Anxi City. I don't know much about the others. We'll ask Director Mu when he gets back. Let's load it into the car quickly, fill it up on the seats and in the trunk."

"Alright, Mingxiang, Mingli, and Mingfu, come out and help!" Song Wanli didn't ask any more questions. Mu Xudong was trustworthy, and it was good that all the products were sold. His sister-in-law had been sullen these past few days.

The children were also happy, running around to move the flower baskets, which Zhao Xiaojuan carefully placed in the car.

Li Yang made four trips to transport all 146 pots of flowers. Old Hou at the trucking station was meticulous and specially found ten large cardboard boxes to pack them well.

Zhao Xiaojuan stared blankly at the empty factory, unable to believe it—had all her flower baskets been sold? Remembering that Factory Director Mu had said he would take as many as she wanted, she was full of energy again. There were still several months until spring when the flowers would bloom; could she make another batch?

The next day, Manager Yao took Mu Xudong to pick up the goods. They didn't return until almost 11:30. It makes sense, as there are always passengers getting on and off the bus, which definitely takes time.

Fortunately, Song Tingnan was already at the hotel. Yesterday, she had toured the entire hotel to see which areas were suitable for which type of flower basket. She knew the style of her aunt Zhao Xiaojuan's flower baskets, which allowed her to guide the hotel staff in arranging the baskets in an orderly manner despite the busy schedule.

There were originally 35 potted plants, plus 146 more that were shipped over, bringing the total to nearly 200. Manager Yao wanted them all.

Mu Xudong stopped him and had Li Zhiqiang call Zhao Man over so she could choose what she needed first. He was extremely grateful to the couple this time, and even benefited from his father-in-law's connections; Manager Yao hadn't even had to haggle over the price.

Mu Xudong's actions pleased Zhao Man greatly. Displaying beautiful flowers early would make her hotel stand out, so how could she not be happy? Under Manager Yao's reluctant, hesitant gaze, she picked out forty pots.

Under Ting Nan's command, the entire hotel staff completed the setup in about half an hour, and the effect was excellent. Manager Yao gave them a thumbs up repeatedly.

This trip was a win-win situation for all three parties. Manager Yao even asked Mu Xudong to replace the flower baskets for their hotel every winter.

After the matter was settled and the bill was paid in cash, amounting to one or two thousand yuan, Mu Xudong was about to take Tingnan back when Zhao Man pulled them to Yunshang Shopping Mall.

"Brother, this is Director Mu Xudong, Zhiqiang's childhood friend. The small potted plants I gave to Mom yesterday were made by them. You can talk to them about your thoughts!" Zhao Man led them into an office, which was originally part of her family's Yunshang Shopping Mall.

"Director Mu, hello! Little girl, here are some candies and cookies, please help yourself." Zhao Yong stood up and shook hands with Mu Xudong, not forgetting to greet Ting Nan as well. He had heard from his sister that this little girl was not to be underestimated.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Ting Nan said obediently.

Yunshang Commercial Building is indeed very large, with several floors and covering all walks of life. Mu Xudong guessed that it was probably about flower baskets.

Sure enough, Zhao Yong got straight to the point and asked, "Director Mu, your flower baskets are quite unique. Would you like to stock them in my store?"

"Of course I'd like to," Mu Xudong said, looking at Ting Nan. "But will we be able to supply the goods before the New Year? We don't have any stock left at home."

After thinking for a moment, Ting Nan remembered that her aunt had mentioned before that if there was a market, she should ask the aunts in the village for help. Song Xingyue and her mother, Gu Zhaodi, had been helping out at home for a while and were already considered skilled workers.

"Uncle, how much do you need before the New Year?" Ting Nan asked.
