Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

Chapter 21 Insisting on Taking Small Advantages

After Jiang Yang stated his requirements, he quickly found a group of renovation workers.

Then, he led the renovation workers to the front of his shop.

"Master Wang, this is it!"

Jiang Yang pointed to the shop and said to the leader of the renovation team.

"Look, this location is pretty good, isn't it?"

Master Wang was a lean, middle-aged man. He looked him over, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and nodded.

"The location is good, but what about the renovation? How do you plan to do it?"

Jiang Yang had already planned ahead. He took out his own design drawings and explained his ideas to Master Wang in detail.

"This area should be set up as a fitting room, this area should have shelves, the lighting should be bright, and the overall style should be simple and elegant..."

After explaining the desired renovation effect to everyone, Jiang Yang gave them a quote. Although it wasn't very high, it was definitely no lower than anyone else's quote on the market.

After some discussion, the two parties agreed on a price, and Jiang Yang readily paid the deposit.

"Master Wang, please get everyone to start work as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to opening for business soon!"

Jiang Yang gave his instructions.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we guarantee the quality and quantity, and we won't delay your business at all!"

Master Wang patted his chest and assured him that he would immediately arrange for people to carry out the preliminary demolition work.

Jiang Yang was satisfied to see the renovation team getting busy, but soon after checking the time, he frowned.

I'm about to go back, but someone needs to keep an eye on the workers. What am I going to do? Besides, I spend most of my time in the countryside, so who will be responsible for the progress and quality of the renovation?

"Sigh, it seems we still need to move to the city as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yang sighed, looking somewhat worried.

However, just when they were at their wits' end, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"Jiang Yang? It really is you!"

Jiang Yang turned around and saw that it was Li Wen!

He asked in surprise, "Li Wen? What are you doing here?"

"Just passing by, taking a look around. I saw someone standing here from afar, and I didn't expect it to really be you!"

Li Wen seemed very happy; she became lively as soon as she saw Jiang Yang.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"

As Li Wen spoke, she gave Jiang Yang a reproachful look, pretending to be angry, which was quite adorable.

"I was supposed to come in a few days, but... sigh!"

Jiang Yang briefly recounted how Su Jingtong had asked him to come to the city.

"Huh? Jiang Yang, you...you're getting a divorce?"

Li Wen was taken aback when she heard the news, thinking that she had touched on Jiang Yang's painful memories, and immediately felt at a loss.

"I'm fine, I expected this!"

Jiang Yang comforted Li Wen, telling her not to feel guilty.

"Okay, I'm sorry Jiang Yang, I didn't know you..."

Li Wen wanted to say something, but Jiang Yang interrupted her.

"It's alright now, I've already let it go."

Jiang Yang gave a wry smile, not continuing the topic, and instead said, "By the way, I've run into a problem with the renovation of my clothing store. I can't stay in the city all the time, supervising the work..."

Upon hearing this, Li Wen immediately understood his predicament.

"What's so difficult about that? I'll keep an eye on it for you! I'm just killing time anyway."

Li Wen readily agreed and offered to help.

"I can't accept this, I haven't even repaid the favor from before..."

Jiang Yang felt a little embarrassed; it wasn't right for him to keep asking Li Wen for help.

"Forget about favors, just send me a few more sets of clothes later!"

Li Wen didn't think that much about it and took the initiative to propose conditions, not wanting to put Jiang Yang in a difficult position.

"Thank you so much, I can't possibly thank you enough..."

Jiang Yang scratched the back of his head and did not refuse Li Wen's kindness. He did need someone to help him take care of the shop, and Li Wen's willingness to help was naturally the best thing.

Then, Jiang Yang took out a thick wad of cash from his pocket, counted out a few ten-yuan bills, and handed them to Li Wen.

"Comrade Li Wen, please take this money first. Also, please help me look after the renovation materials and other supplies."

Li Wen didn't stand on ceremony, took the money, and laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, leave it to me! I'll make sure you get a beautiful renovation!"

Jiang Yang nodded, then gave some detailed instructions on the renovation before leaving the county town with peace of mind.

Upon returning home, he immediately threw himself into garment production without taking a break.

After all, time is of the essence. Not only do we need to get the 300 sets of uniforms for the state-run restaurant done within a week, but we also need to rush to make clothes for our own clothing store to sell after it opens. We're busy on both fronts and can't afford to delay at all.

However, despite the tight deadline, he dared not be careless about the quality.

"Aunties, this batch of clothes is very important; it's related to my future business. Please work hard and make sure the quality and quantity are up to standard!"

Jiang Yang said earnestly.

Several women nodded in agreement. They had heard that Jiang Yang was going to open a clothing store, and they were all very enthusiastic about being able to help.

Under the dim light, needle and thread danced, and scissors snipped.

The simple farmhouse courtyard was filled with the smell of fabric and sweat.

However, two days later, Jiang Yang looked at the finished clothes with a furrowed brow.

At the current production speed, the clothes are far from meeting his expectations, and it will be difficult to complete the order from the state-run restaurant within a week.

He knew these rural women had done their best, but his requirements were high and the designs were complex, so it was naturally slow to complete.

Jiang Yang was a little anxious. This first batch of goods was crucial. If he couldn't deliver on time, it would affect his reputation and make future business difficult.

He walked up to several women.

"Aunties, I know you've all worked hard, but time is tight and the task is heavy, so we must work even harder!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "How about this, from now on, I'll give you an extra two yuan for every day you work overtime!"

Upon hearing the words "add two yuan," the women's eyes lit up. Who would turn down money?

"Jiang Yang, don't worry, we'll work overtime even if we don't sleep!"

An older woman patted her chest and assured her.

The others echoed their sentiments, showing great enthusiasm.

"Then I'll have to trouble everyone!"

Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone's condition. With overtime work, the production speed should be able to keep up.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined.

The day after Jiang Yang announced that everyone would work overtime, Jiang Yang's second aunt, Lin Xiuli, started causing trouble.

She's been exhausted these past few days, with a sore back and aching waist, but Jiang Yang doesn't give her any face as a relative. Not only does he not pay her much, but he's also very harsh on her. Naturally, she feels extremely resentful.

She was Jiang Yang's second aunt, so why shouldn't he give her special treatment?
