SAG -Chapter 49 Becoming Distributors

At that moment, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu were also still awake.

Because they had spent the entire previous night talking with Zhang Ran, Liu Lu hadn’t yet had time to tell Zhang Sicheng about the necklace.

Only just now had she explained it to him.

At first, Zhang Sicheng was indeed surprised that the necklace was so valuable, and he was also somewhat excited.

But he soon guessed that Zhang Ran must have bought the necklace years ago.

Its current value and its value back then were certainly not the same.

Because of that, he gradually calmed down.

“Honey…”

Liu Lu suddenly said, though her voice was filled with reluctance.

“What do you think about selling the necklace?”

It was the most beautiful piece of jewelry she had ever owned.

But for the sake of renovating the house, Liu Lu was prepared to part with it.

“Why sell it?” Zhang Sicheng asked, puzzled.

Liu Lu smiled bitterly.

“The house needs renovation.”

“With our current savings, there’s no way we can afford to renovate it.”

Zhang Sicheng fell silent.

For the past two days, everything had felt unreal.

The previous afternoon, he had even gone to the house by himself and spent the whole afternoon there.

He truly hadn’t thought about renovation yet.

His mind had been filled entirely with one thought:

He had a house now.

A real home.

He would never again have to worry about being thrown out by a landlord in the middle of the night.

Only after Liu Lu brought it up did Zhang Sicheng finally consider the renovation.

He knew perfectly well how much Liu Lu loved the necklace.

Yet she was still willing to sell it to renovate their home.

Turning over, Zhang Sicheng hugged her and said softly,

“Wife… I’m sorry.”

Liu Lu smiled.

“It’s fine.”

“Honestly, keeping the necklace doesn’t really do me any good anyway.”

“I wouldn’t dare wear it outside.”

“What if someone tried to rob me?”

“It’s better to sell it and use the money to renovate the house.”

Then she voiced her real concern.

“What I’m worried about is whether Dad would agree.”

“After all, he only just gave it to me as a wedding gift.”

“Now if I sell it, I’m afraid he’ll feel hurt.”

Hearing that, Zhang Sicheng realized she was right.

No matter what, they couldn’t secretly sell the necklace.

They had to tell Zhang Ran first.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain later.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “How about this?”

“Let’s first ask around and confirm the price.”

“What if it isn’t worth that much, or your friend’s friend made a mistake?”

“If it really is worth that amount, then I’ll talk to Dad.”

“I believe he’ll understand us.”

“That works.”

“Alright, let’s sleep.”

“I’ll ask Jiajia about it later.”

In the living room, Zhang Ran was also awake.

He lay there staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind a tangled mess.

He still had no idea Liu Lu was already planning to sell the necklace to renovate the house.

Of course, he had already thought about the renovation issue himself and had made arrangements.

Hadn’t Meng He mentioned that he hadn’t prepared meeting gifts for Zhang Sicheng and the others?

Perfect.

He could give the renovation as his gift.

Zhang Ran had already planned all of this in advance.

He simply hadn’t expected everything to happen at once.

First, the house purchase had gone too quickly.

He had found the right house on the second day.

Then came Zhang Siyan’s matter.

For a while, even Zhang Ran’s thoughts became disordered, and he hadn’t yet managed to arrange everything properly.

The next morning, Zhang Ran sent the two little ones to school as usual.

Then he called Meng Mingxuan out again.

By now, Meng Mingxuan had accepted this life of clocking in like an employee.

Whenever Zhang Ran called, he had to show up.

Because of that, his daily routine had been passively adjusted.

He rarely stayed out too late anymore.

“Walk around nearby with me.”

That was Zhang Ran’s plan for the day.

Meanwhile, Zhang Siyan and Qian Li arrived early at Kangshilan’s headquarters.

Both women felt nervous.

Qian Li first called Zhao Jingyu.

After receiving confirmation, she finally relaxed a little.

“Yanyan…”

“How did you sleep last night?”

She casually searched for a topic.

“Pretty well,” Zhang Siyan replied.

She herself found it a little surprising.

She had thought she would probably suffer from insomnia last night.

But with that faint floral fragrance drifting around her, her mind gradually emptied.

She stopped overthinking and soon fell asleep.

“Same here.”

“My parents also slept really well last night.”

“Uncle Zhang’s Qingxiang orchid really seems to work.”

Qian Li said.

“Maybe.”

Zhang Siyan wasn’t sure whether it was truly because of the orchid.

According to Zhang Ran, it was neither famous nor valuable.

So how could its effect be so good?

Qian Li suddenly thought of something.

“Do you think Qingxiang orchids can be cultivated on a large scale?”

“If so, this fragrance would probably sell very well as a perfume.”

Before Zhang Siyan could answer, Zhao Jingyu had already walked out.

The moment she received Qian Li’s call, Zhao Jingyu had come over immediately without wasting a minute.

“Miss Zhang, Miss Qian.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Please come inside.”

Zhao Jingyu smiled and led them in.

As she showed them around the company, she explained the arrangements for the coming period.

“Miss Zhang, it would be best for you to hire two employees to manage your store.”

“You may need to spend most of your time here at the company for training soon.”

“You probably won’t have much time to look after the shop.”

By now, Zhang Siyan and Qian Li had fully confirmed that Zhao Jingyu was telling the truth.

Naturally, both of them were excited.

The worries in Zhang Siyan’s heart completely faded.

As long as she could become a Kangshilan distributor, she was confident she could give Susu a better life.

“Understood,” Qian Li said.

She knew this was necessary.

“This morning, I’ll mainly show you around the company and help you understand what you’ll need to learn, as well as the support the company can provide.”

“Once you’re familiar with everything and fully understand the process, we’ll officially sign the contract tomorrow.”

Zhao Jingyu continued.

“Also, you’ll need to establish a trading company.”

“If there are any parts of the process you don’t understand, you can ask me at any time.”

Zhang Siyan and Qian Li exchanged a strange glance.

What kind of company selected distributors like this?

It was as though Zhao Jingyu were a caretaker, preparing everything for them and waiting only for them to nod.

She had even arranged help for setting up the company.

What happened next made them feel even more confused.

Zhao Jingyu didn’t immediately take them to training.

Instead, she led them through every department one by one, explaining the company’s operational structure.

Was all this really necessary for a distributor?

But neither Zhang Siyan nor Qian Li knew what else to do.

They could only follow Zhao Jingyu and observe.

Finally, they arrived at the sales department.

Zhao Jingyu addressed the room.

“Everyone, please gather for a moment.”

“These two will be the general distributors for Kangshilan in Shanghai’s Xuhui District.”

“From now on, all cosmetics business in Xuhui District will be coordinated with them.”

Her words stunned several people.

The sales manager had clearly been notified beforehand.

Although he didn’t fully understand what the higher-ups were doing, he still took the lead in applauding.

However, a few employees looked at Zhang Siyan and Qian Li with strange expressions.

After all, the agency rights for Shanghai and Jiangsu Province had always been controlled by Huo Li—their boss’s own elder brother.

Judging from Zhao Jingyu’s meaning…

Were they bypassing Huo Li directly?

At that moment, Zhang Siyan and Qian Li were too excited to notice the wording.

Earlier, Zhao Jingyu had called them candidates.

Now…

They had already become distributors?
