Chapter 111 proves that memes should be given to those who understand them.

It didn't take long before the small courtyard was buzzing with chatter and filled with people.

Father Song was busy serving melon seeds and peanuts to everyone. Since there weren't enough cups at home, he used paper cups to make tea for everyone.

Li Hua pulled Song Xinyao aside, "When I just arrived, I heard my mom say that you and that pretty young lady are college classmates?"

"Mmh-hmm~" Song Xinyao looked proud.

Li Hua was dying of envy, "What kind of dog-poop luck did you have?!"

Song Xinyao twisted her mouth, her whole body exuding the word 'smug'.

Sometimes she wondered, if she were a maid for a wealthy young lady in ancient times, she would definitely be that kind of lackey who bullies others by relying on her mistress's power, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, rushing out to scold the white lotus heroine for her low status at just a glance from her mistress.

Li Hua whispered, "I'm so curious, what kind of life did the rich sister live at school? Was it full of grandeur?"

Song Xinyao rested her hand on Li Hua's shoulder, "Does it matter what it was like before? What matters is that, at this very moment, my best friend is going to take me to enjoy immense wealth!"

Li Hua was dying of envy.

She secretly wondered when her own best friend would become successful.

Mother Jiang pulled Song Xinyao back, annoyed, "We're talking about business, what are you spacing out for again?"

Song Xinyao pursed her lips and didn't speak again.

The people brought by Mother Jiang and Huang Qianhua were all holding their proudest works.

"Yueyue, come and take a look at their craftsmanship." Huang Qianhua waved at Ling Yue.

Ling Yue walked to the center of the small courtyard.

The tabletop was covered with a layer of white silk cloth.

A short embroiderer, older than Mother Jiang, opened the box in her hands like she was treating a precious treasure, unfolded an elegantly colored embroidery piece, and laid it flat on the table.

Her voice was old, but it carried the strength of accumulated years, "This is the Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus picture I copied; it took seven months to embroider."

The embroidery was extremely detailed, especially the Guanyin's clothes and hair, which were as smooth and shiny as silk. Its aura was full of holiness and radiance, and the halo above the head was mixed with gold thread, as if it were really glowing.

Ling Yue didn't know much about the trade.

If she really had to comment... this piece of embroidery looked very expensive.

Ling Yue nodded expressionlessly, "Next."

The embroiderer carefully put the embroidery back into the box... The next embroiderer took out a wedding fan...

In less than ten minutes, Ling Yue had finished appreciating everyone's work.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Ling Yue finally announced, "You are all very good, I can keep you all."

"Great! I can start working anytime." It was Huang Qianhua's apprentice who said this.

After resigning, she had been taking care of her child at home for two months. Whoever takes care of children knows how annoying it is, and she just wanted to find a job again.

"I have an order on hand that will take about 20 days to complete. Can the start time be pushed back?" another embroiderer said with a worried face.

Before coming, Mother Jiang had told the embroiderers that this would be a relatively stable job. She really wanted to stay, but she couldn't turn down other customers' orders, after all, they were already half embroidered.

"Yes, I have two wedding fan orders in hand, it will take another 10 days."

"Will we have social insurance and housing funds?"

"Are there holidays every month?"

These were all normal job-seeking questions.

Ling Yue took a sip of water and answered one by one, "I will give everyone a one-month transition period. You can take six days off each month. I cannot provide social insurance and housing funds for the time being, but there will be additional subsidies. I need to go back and consider the salary situation before making a decision."

Hearing that there was no social insurance or housing fund, everyone's faces showed a little disappointment.

Huang Qianhua thought of Li Hua's suggestion from a few days ago and spoke up, "We can establish a studio, recruit everyone into the studio, and then sign a contract with Ling Yue in the name of the studio. This way, we can provide social insurance and housing funds for everyone."

Finally!

Ling Yue: She proposed this herself, it wasn't me forcing her.

Then, Ling Yue contributed exquisite acting skills, "Of course that's possible. I didn't expect Auntie Huang to have such grand ideas."

"Huh?" What grand ideas?

Huang Qianhua hadn't reacted yet.

Then she heard Ling Yue say, "I believe in the character of Auntie Huang and Mother Jiang, and I also believe in your abilities and craftsmanship. If you establish a studio, I am willing to invest in you!"

"Huh?" Huang Qianhua was completely confused.

How did it get to investment?

"I didn't..." Before Huang Qianhua could finish, Li Hua stepped forward, "Then thank you, Miss Ling!"

Huang Qianhua: Why are you saying thank you?

Mother Jiang: Wait, what is going on?

Facts prove.

Memes must be thrown to those who understand them.

Ling Yue smiled modestly, "It just so happens that I am a fan of Su Embroidery, and it just so happens that I have some spare money on hand, and it even more so happens that there are two trustworthy master embroiderers to lead the team. It's really an opportunity delivered to my door; I must seize it. Regarding the development of the studio, start-up capital is definitely needed. I am willing to invest in the form of equity to support the studio towards brilliance. Rest assured, I will not interfere too much in the studio's affairs and will give everyone enough room to play."

After a flurry of words, everything was arranged clearly.

Without giving anyone time to react, Ling Yue returned to the living room, picked up her bag, and with a look, Zang Lanyi automatically picked up the long wooden box gifted by Mother Jiang.

"Aunties, please seriously consider my proposal just now. I intend to sign everyone present today. Well, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. Take your time, chat slowly."

Ling Yue took one last look at Li Hua and pulled Xinyao away.

Far away.

Xinyao figured out something was wrong, "Establish a studio, invest in equity... did you plan to enter the embroidery industry a long time ago?"

She murmured blankly, "My sister who became successful, even her brain has become successful too."

"Not that early." Ling Yue crossed her arms, "I only confirmed this idea when I saw Auntie Huang and Mother Jiang knew each other. Otherwise, I would have had to wait for Auntie Huang to work for me for a while before I would evaluate whether there was investment value."

"So, it's still my credit." Xinyao curled her lips again.

Ling Yue rolled her eyes, "You really know how to gild your own face!"

Walking a few steps forward, the silent Ling Yue spoke again, "Yes, it is because of you that I trust your family more. But more importantly, Auntie Huang and Mother Jiang's craftsmanship conquered me, allowing me to see the feasibility of development, so I brought the investment matter forward to the agenda."

Xinyao nodded seriously.

Suddenly her steps stopped, her facial expression gradually cracking, "So, I've become a wage earner again? Living a life of clocking in every day with a stable salary?"

"Your focus is so unique." Ling Yue patted her shoulder, "If you work for me, you are allowed to be late and leave early."

"Sister, sister, sister, you are the best!!!"

Xinyao nudged Ling Yue's arm with her head, her lively energy returning.
