Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Reply to the Letter

"Xiao Yue, I forgot to tell you, remember the last time we went to Provincial City, wasn’t it those four bosses who each took in a shipment of a thousand pieces of clothing?"

Tang Yue nodded; those four people had left a deep impression on her.

"The four cities near Jiang City now all fall under their control. I’ve been there before and seen our clothing—that same batch we sold last time. It was only after I went to some other cities that I managed to get a few more orders." Tang Mingli felt like his previous trip was a waste of time, thinking he wouldn’t have gone if he’d known those four bosses covered those four cities already.

"Uncle, they took in so much inventory, you can’t expect them not to sell it. Are they supposed to eat the clothes?" Tang Yue asked teasingly, "Uncle, we are a factory; we should focus on large orders rather than chasing after small ones."

Tang Yue seriously analyzed, "Think about it, chasing small orders could have you running around for ten days or half a month without knowing how much you can accumulate. But with large orders, it’s different. One big order could keep the factory busy for half a month."

With a sudden realization, Tang Mingli felt as if he had an epiphany. Previously, he felt stifled as though business opportunities had been snatched away from him; now, everything seemed clear. "Xiao Yue, I was thinking about it all wrong before."

"Exactly, we aren’t retailing clothes; we are a factory. The more those four bosses place orders with us in the future, the better, right?" Concerned that Tang Mingli might still not understand their role, Tang Yue reminded him, "Uncle, remember at all times we are now a factory; we do wholesale business."

"Right." Tang Mingli was belatedly enlightened.

Now that uncle and niece had decided to expand the business, they must buy more sewing machines.

They had kept Boss Song’s number from last time, so they didn’t need to go to Shenzhen again. They could just call Boss Song directly, agree on the number of sewing machines to purchase, transfer a portion of the deposit at the bank, and then wait for the machines to arrive.

Jing City, Bailutong Team.

Ever since Mo Siyu received the letter, he’d been sitting on a branch of a large tree that required two people to hug, his nose filled with the faint scent of ink, admiring the delicate handwriting. He had never before felt that his surname and name could look so beautiful when written by her.

As a child, everyone teased him for being fatherless, bearing his mother’s surname. The younger he was, the more he fought with others.

As he grew older, his skills improved, and those who dared to confront him were beaten badly, to the point where almost no one dared to come close to him.

It wasn’t until high school that he had a chance encounter with Tang Mingli. Although Tang Mingli wasn’t afraid of him and would meet up with him occasionally as friends, their relationship had grown closer, especially during the period when Mo Siyu joined the military, and Tang Mingli broke up with Qi Yufei.

However, as time passed and he, the new recruit, couldn’t even take leave to visit family, by the time they met again, he had encountered Tang Yue.

The first time he saw Tang Yue was by the river bank; her desperate attempt to save Tang Jun left a lasting impression. Despite her own moderate swimming skills, her urgency and worry to save her brother etched deeply in his heart.

She was drenched, her dark hair matted against her face by the water, kneeling in the water, leaning over the bank in a way that was incredibly endearing.

Later, when her bright eyes looked towards him, they were filled with so many emotions: excitement, exhilaration, and something indescribable.

He knew for sure that they had never met before.

The second time he saw Tang Yue, she was taking a shortcut back to the high school; every time he saw her, she was in some kind of plight.
