Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 742 - 741: Everything is Ready

Since Zhen Yu couldn’t possibly obtain the money from selling her shares in the dairy company right away, and it would take time to find a desirable bustling storefront that met her standards, she turned her attention to the online shopping platform Taobao!

After going through the standard procedures, she finally successfully registered a Taobao store with a focus on clothing.

Then Zhen Yu started to search online for garment factories in the Capital region that offered OEM services.

She eventually set her sights on a location near Dahong Gate.

That area is a hub for garment factories and wholesale markets, offering a vast array of choices! Zhen Yu spent three weekends running there, and after countless phone calls, she finally signed a preliminary agreement for OEM services with a relatively strong factory that was medium to large in scale.

With everything almost ready, what was left was just to wait for the favorable wind.

An online store doesn’t need a physical shopfront, and with inventory in hand, you can sell right away! Hence, Zhen Yu, who had years of collaboration experience with He Baihe, even skipped the step of taking photos for her products! She directly connected to Dimension One and borrowed a USB drive from He Baihe! Naturally, it contained all the retouched photos of the currently available clothing items from He Baihe’s online store...

After spending some time uploading these photos as product listings, Zhen Yu finally made a call to Mrs. Bai.

As soon as the call connected, Zhen Yu cut straight to the chase: "Aunt Fu, I’ve renegotiated with a garment factory here in the Capital, mainly wanting to focus on Hanfu! But I don’t want to give up on parent-child outfits either, so let’s talk about our cooperation again!"

"...Ah? Didn’t I tell you last time, I’m old and don’t understand much about these things! You go ahead and explain to me, Xiao Yu, if I don’t understand something, I’ll ask you then!"

"Okay!"

——

After Zhen Yu’s patient and detailed explanation, Mrs. Bai immediately agreed to Zhen Yu’s cooperation terms over the phone, without a second word!

This was not only because this cooperation sounded like Zhen Yu was still looking out for her! But also because Mrs. Bai now believed in Zhen Yu unconditionally! She trusted that this outwardly cold but warm-hearted girl would definitely not swindle her.

"...Then it’s settled, Aunt Fu! Please send the samples to me as soon as possible, so I can order a small batch to test the waters, see the quality and efficiency of this garment factory! If it’s not satisfactory, I’ll need to switch to another one!"

"Don’t worry about it! In a bit, I’ll have someone pack the samples as per your requirements, and send them out first thing tomorrow morning! Just in time, those few designs you sent before school started, the new models are already out of the factory! I’ll mail them to you too! When you find the time, design some thick coats for winter, right! New Year is coming, and everyone will be buying new clothes, we definitely have to introduce some red garments!"

"Got it! I understand, Aunt Fu! If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

"Wait a moment!" Mrs. Bai suddenly stopped Zhen Yu! Only then did she ask somewhat sheepishly: "How are Xiao Xue and Lu Huai that kid...?"

"They are getting along pretty well!"

Zhen Yu’s response was half true, half false! Because the two’s conflicts were not internal but external!

With Bai Xue’s heaven-defying beauty! Of course, from the moment she entered the university gates, she was sought after by the male students! Once, when Lu Huai complained over the phone to Han Mingyue, it just so happened that Zhen Yu overheard him! According to Lu Huai, Bai Xue has now become the undoubted new school beauty of their college! Every day, a bunch of boys crowded around her!

So, for those two to truly end up together, they first had to withstand the test!

——

While Zhen Yu was busy with her business, Han Mingyue was not idle either!

He had participated in the writing competition for three consecutive years in high school, winning first prize each time! So, after entering university, he no longer wanted to participate in one competition after another!

But without these, what should he do with the spare time outside writing his novels? Zhen Yu was also too busy...

It was during one of those moments of being stuck and looking for inspiration that Han Mingyue decided to turn his attention back to submitting work to magazines and newspapers! After all, the first time his words turned into printed type started from there.

So he decided to pick it back up! It was also a good way to practice his writing. After all, producing a compact essay is both easy and difficult to write! Because you can’t have too many words, but you still need to express depth and meaning! That really tests an author’s inspiration and creativity...

Luckily, Han Mingyue was lacking in neither.

Therefore, by the time Zhen Yu finally managed to carve out time from her business dealings and was actively preparing to submit work to the Calligraphy and Painting Competition, Han Mingyue had already submitted several pieces, and had also been published in two well-known literary magazines...

——

That weekend, the two agreed to have lunch together in the cafeteria.

"? You subscribed to magazines?" Zhen Yu asked curiously after taking two magazines from Han Mingyue’s hands.

Han Mingyue smiled slightly, "Sample copies!"

"You have started submitting again!" Zhen Yu was only surprised for a moment and then jokingly said, "What, running short on money?"

But Han Mingyue honestly replied, "No, the last book sold well!"

"Ha! I almost forgot the great author here has published a book!"

"...You have too."

Zhen Yu, however, shook her head like a rattle-drum! "My stuff should be called ’published words’! How can that be the same as your book publishing!"

Hearing a hint of envy in Zhen Yu’s tone, Han Mingyue asked, "Do you really want to publish a book?"

"Of course! Why else would I write?" Zhen Yu said matter-of-factly!

Han Mingyue fell silent for a while, but then spoke honestly, "Xiao Yu, the novels you write are all game-related, I feel... that there aren’t many readers for them."

"Yes!" Zhen Yu sighed deeply and then added, "Nowadays, games are too monotonous, my novels simply can’t ignite people’s imagination!"

"That’s true!"

"But no worries! In a few years, I believe that more and more people will like this genre of novels!"

"You’re not considering changing the theme for your next book?" Han Mingyue was a bit worried.

"No change! But I am considering switching to a different site for the release of my new book!"

"?" Han Mingyue almost immediately turned to look at Zhen Yu, "Which one? Why? Isn’t Huanmou Alliance pretty good?"

"What’s good now doesn’t mean it always will be! I plan to release my next book on Somewrite!" Zhen Yu, being action-oriented, immediately thought of going online. So she pulled Han Mingyue to his feet, holding their lunch trays and walking while she said, "Let’s go! To the internet café!"

"Ha... okay!" Han Mingyue was used to listening to Zhen Yu by now, and since he had nothing planned for the afternoon, he obediently followed.
