Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan was relieved after handing the letter to Su Yi. The latter nodded, saying, âRight away, Master.â
After some thought, Su Binglan said, âIâm preparing to visit the prefecture soon. Complete your tasks and then come with me to the prefecture.â
Su Yi responded, âUnderstood, Master.â
The following morning, Su Binglan went to check on the new factory. She also noticed Su Xueyeâs team had completed most of the other buildings. Su Xueye and Su Zhengle had done a fantastic job leading their teams.
Su Binglan was very satisfied, especially since the construction teams had
built the factory to her requirements perfectly. Soon, she made a list and gave it to Su Xueyeâs grandmother, Madam Zhou.
Zhou Enterprise was now in charge of the buildings renovations. Madam Zhou lovingly smiled when she saw her niece. Madam Zhou held Su Binglanâs hand and greeted her.
Su Binglan then handed a list to Madam Zhou, saying, âAunt Zhou, could you help me prepare these things?â
Su Binglan had drawn some things on the list. Madam Zhou knew what to do to prepare such things for her niece. âDonât worry, Binglan. Iâll get it done for you.â
Su Binglan spoke with her aunt for a while, paid her, and then went to Gongsun Moâ s house.
Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtong had made plenty of toys. The house could barely accommodate everything they had made. The young couple was delighted when Su Binglan visited them.
âSister Binglan, youâre here,â Lei Tongtong addressed.
Su Binglan looked at her with delight. âTongtong, youâve grown taller and more beautiful.â
Lei Tongtong had lost her baby fat, now looking thinner and taller. Even Su Binglan was stunned at how good Lei Tongtong looked.
The latter felt shy and blushed, saying, âYouâre the beautiful one, Sister Su. Everyone calls you a guardian angel.â
For some reason, Lei Tongtong felt childish, while Su Binglan seemed like a mature and steady lady. Moreover, Su Binglan was only a few months older than Lei Tongtong.
Su Binglan possessed a reassuring aura that would make anyone believe in and rely on her.
Gongsun MO said, âHahaha, Tongtong is just shy. Itâs good that youâve become more beautiful, dear. However, your family will find it hard to recognize you now.â
He looked at his wife and felt grateful to Su Binglan. Although Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtong came from prominent families, the two enjoyed their peaceful lives.
Su Teng Village was an excellent place. Gongsun MO worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, making toys during weekdays.
Gongsun MO cupped his hands and bowed to Su Binglan, addressing her, âMiss Su.â
âYou donât have to be so polite. What is it?â Su Binglan smiled.
Lei Tongtong shook her head helplessly at her husband. She said, âSister Su, he made plenty of toys.â
Su Binglan had insisted on giving the young couple a substantial deposit so they would not worry about studying and developing new toys. She had visited and checked on the toys before and knew Gongsun Mo t s products were exceptional.
Su Binglan said, âXueyeâs team has completed the toy factory. Weâll start hiring workers in the next two days. After that, weâll start operating officially. Donât worry about not being able to sell your toys.
âThe Shens from the capital will buy your products and sell them there. The heir to the Ye family will do the same but sell your toys in the South. The demand there is just as high.â
Su Binglan planned to open several toy and jewelry stores in various places. She would include many things in those shops so people would not have to travel to Su Teng Village to buy them.
She had many business ideas and knew what to do.
Lei Tongtong looked at Su Binglan admiringly, saying, âSister Su is still the best.â
Lei Tongtong was thrilled that her husband could do what he was good at and passionate about. She knew Gongsun MO was in a good mood whenever he made toys.
Su Binglan said, âOnce we vindicate the Gongsun family, I will announce to everyone that Gongsun MO made these toys.â
Her words made Gongsun Moâs hands tremble. He had forsaken his hatred because he knew he could not contend with the imperial court and other factions alone.
Revenge was not easy for Gongsun Mo. He would disregard his life and kill those who wronged his family if he were alone. However, his salvation, Lei Tongtong, was beside him. Hence, Gongsun Nio could not take such a risk.
Although his heart still ached for his family, Su Binglanâs words lifted his spirits. He said, âThank you, Miss Su.â
âYouâre welcome. Here, let me retake your pulse,â Su Binglan said, âYou two seem to be in perfect health. Youâre no longer a little girl, Tongtong. Youâve grown into a fine young lady.
âIt might be because we removed Gu worm from you. Fortunately, youâve recovered well after some time.â
Gongsun MO sighed in relief. âThank you so much, Miss Su.â
âMO, I donât know what to say if you keep thanking me. If you want to show your gratitude, take good care of Tongtong. Thatâs all Jinâan wants to see.â Gongsun MO nodded thoughtfully. âl understand, Miss Su.â
Next, Su Binglan told him about the toy factory, âYou and Tongtong will be responsible for handling the factory. Weâll divide it into departments where the employees will only handle a specific toy component.
âOnly we will know how to develop these toys fully since others can imitate them. We wonât have to worry about others imitating us even if they try. After all, they wonât have the same branding as us.â
The people of that era had no concept of authentic imitations. However, Su Binglan would use her methods to establish her brands. It was crucial to high-ranking officials and prominent families who cared about their reputation.
Naturally, they hoped to buy authentic goods whenever purchasing things.
After discussing the toy factory with Gongsun MO, Su Binglan informed them to start hiring workers. She had already notified the people of the toy factory previously.
Many from faraway places heard the news and rushed to Su Teng Village. They stayed in town for the next few days, waiting for the interview. It was already dark when these villagers reached the town.
Still, Su Binglan went to interview them. Those who passed the interview could start work at the toy factory the following day. She would pay them similarly to the embroidery shop employees.
Most passed the interview, while only some failed because of characteristic issues. Since Su Binglan possessed spiritual energy, she could tell if a person was lying during the interview. freewebnov(e)l
After explaining how the factory would work, Su Binglan told Gongsun MO and Liu Yinyin to begin operations. As for the wood they required to make toys, Su Binglan purchased them from the Northern Mountain Village through Song Yi.
The mountainous village had many trees, and Su Binglan bought the pine wood the pottery workshop needed from there. Therefore, the Northern Mountain villagers were happy to chop pine trees.
Su Binglan also tasked her people with purchasing the raw materials for the toy factory..
