Chapter 21 A Gentle Refusal

That night, in a private room at the most luxurious Furong Hotel in the county town, the atmosphere was lively.

Tonight was the celebration party for the Butterfly Garment Factory, marking the successful conclusion of their exhibition!

Everyone was overjoyed. Plates of chicken, duck, fish, and meat were served one after another, filling the large table to the brim.

Qin Chuan was seated next to Li Ya, and Qin Gang was also present.

Li Ya was clearly in high spirits tonight. She, who rarely drank, had a few more glasses, making her already beautiful appearance even more radiant. Every move she made exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Before coming to the hotel, the finance department had already compiled the sales figures for the past two and a half days. In just two and a half days, the total sales reached a staggering 338,500 yuan!

This exhibition not only cleared all the inventory but also yielded a significant profit after deducting all expenses.

The rumors outside claimed that there were over 300,000 yuan worth of goods in stock, but in reality, it was just under 200,000 yuan. Therefore, this exhibition was truly a success.

"Qin Chuan, I want to propose a toast to you first!"

Li Ya raised her wine glass, looking directly at Qin Chuan, her eyes captivating.

"Perhaps for you, we are just in a cooperative relationship, but in my heart, you have already become my benefactor!"

"You single-handedly saved my business and dozens of employees in my factory."

"On behalf of them, I want to sincerely thank you!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Li Ya finished speaking, there was an immediate chorus of agreement. All the workers from Butterfly Garment Factory in the private room stood up and raised their wine glasses.

"Brother Qin Chuan, we also want to toast you!"

"You are not only our boss's benefactor but also ours. If you need anything in the future, just say the word!"

"We might not be able to do intellectual work, but when it comes to manual labor, we have plenty of strength!"

Looking at the sincere faces before him, Qin Chuan was also moved by the atmosphere. He picked up his wine glass and stood up.

He was not one to be delicate or pretentious. With a hearty laugh, he said, "Then let's all share this drink. From now on, we are all brothers, helping each other!"

"Drink!"

"Drink!!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, pushing the atmosphere to its peak. As they sat down, Qin Chuan secretly sighed, thinking how good this era was, where people were so genuine.

Unlike future times, where there were almost no genuinely sincere friends in the business world.

"Qin Chuan!"

Li Ya suddenly took out a thick wad of cash from her bag and placed it directly in front of Qin Chuan.

"This is ten thousand yuan, the bonus I promised you!"

Then, she took out another sum of money from her bag, also placing it in front of Qin Chuan.

"This is your payment for today. It's not much, just two thousand yuan!"

Seeing this, Qin Chuan immediately said, "Boss, you don't need to give me these two thousand yuan..."

"No!"

Li Ya's attitude was extremely firm. "This is what you deserve, and I even feel like I'm giving you too little!"

"Compared to you pulling my entire garment factory out of the fire and giving it new life, this money is nothing!"

"And I also know that you are very short on money..."

The last sentence was spoken in a very low voice, audible only to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan hesitated. Li Ya was right; he was really in need of money right now.

"Brother Qin Chuan, take it! It's well deserved!"

"Yes, you completely deserve to be rewarded with so much money!"

Unexpectedly, seeing the twelve thousand yuan placed in front of Qin Chuan, no one in the entire private room showed any jealousy. Qin Chuan's miraculous sales methods, employed twice, had completely conquered everyone.

Even if someone had been unconvinced the first time, after today's lucky draw sales, they were utterly persuaded.

Qin Gang, sitting not far from Qin Chuan, saw the twelve thousand yuan on the table and his breathing quickened. He prayed inwardly, "Third brother, take it quickly! Take it!!"

"What are you being polite for!"

"Alright, then thank you, Boss, for your generosity!"

Perhaps Qin Gang's prayers had worked, or perhaps he really needed the money. After a moment's hesitation, Qin Chuan chose to accept it.

"Yay!!"

Qin Gang cheered inwardly, overjoyed.

Li Ya's pretty face also broke into a radiant smile, and she urged everyone to eat and drink again.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes.

"Qin Chuan, what do you do for a living?"

Li Ya casually asked, putting down her chopsticks.

"Me? I'm currently my own boss, I don't have a regular job yet," Qin Chuan replied.

Li Ya's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Why don't you come and work at my garment factory? You can set your own salary, how about it?"

Qin Chuan looked at the alluring and stunning mature woman before him and said slowly, "Boss, I'm a rather casual person and have always disliked being constrained. So I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"

Hearing Qin Chuan's refusal, Li Ya couldn't hide her disappointment.

"Are you sure you won't reconsider?"

Qin Chuan shook his head. Having lived this life again, how could he possibly work for someone else!

Never in this lifetime!

Li Ya sighed. Although she had guessed that someone as capable as Qin Chuan might not think much of her small garment factory, she was still very disappointed when Qin Chuan refused.

However, Li Ya was not an ordinary woman. She quickly regained her composure and changed the topic.

"The exhibition still has a few more days to go. Do you have any other good ideas? We can continue to cooperate and make another fortune!"

"Using your lucky draw sales method from today, I think people's emotions were very high today; their demand is far from exhausted!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan shook his head again. "No, I won't be coming to the exhibition tomorrow."

"Ah! Why not?"

Hearing that Qin Chuan wouldn't even be coming to the exhibition, Li Ya's voice rose by a few decibels, attracting the attention of everyone in the private room.

"I have other things to do!"

Qin Chuan said slowly. "Also, Boss! I advise you, there's no need to continue with the lucky draw sales activity. Do you believe that by tomorrow, at least three or more businesses at the exhibition will have activities similar to ours?"

"This... that's impossible, right?"

Li Ya sounded incredulous.

Qin Chuan smiled. Seeing that the beautiful boss was a kind person, he patiently explained, "Because this lucky draw sales method is very easy to replicate, and the initial investment is also very low!"

"Although I said before that this lucky draw sales method is perfect, where in the world is there anything truly flawless? Its biggest drawback is that it's easily copied!"

"So, I advise you, Boss, not to bother anymore. Be careful not to get stuck with inventory again..."

Qin Chuan's analysis made Li Ya look thoughtful.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner party ended. Qin Chuan and his brother Qin Gang bid farewell to Li Ya and headed back to the hospital.

Along the way, Qin Gang chattered excitedly, constantly caressing the substantial sum of money he had snatched from Qin Chuan, hidden deep within his padded jacket, like a wild bird.

"Twelve thousand yuan, a whole twelve thousand!"

"Third brother, with this money, we don't have to worry about Dad's medical expenses anymore!"

Looking at his second brother Qin Gang's happy expression, Qin Chuan also felt very comfortable.

Having lived this life again, his greatest wish was to make up for the regrets of his past life. It seemed like the results were quite good.

"Second brother, tomorrow, come with me to the lumber mill!"
