Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Learning to Drive
Xinyan used to work at a clubhouse in her past life and was very envious of women who could drive.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have the means.
So when He Jinxuan suggested teaching her how to drive, she was immediately intrigued without much thought.
Besides, learning early and getting a driver’s license sooner wasn’t a bad idea. She believed it wouldn’t be long before it would come in handy.
He Jinxuan had already chosen the place for driving practice, and it wasn’t far from where they lived.
They arrived in no time.
Previously, when Xinyan sat in the passenger seat, she didn’t miss a chance to observe how they drove.
In her past life, she had driven a small shuttle car in the clubhouse, so after He Jinxuan patiently taught her a few times and considering her good memory, she quickly got the hang of it, becoming more skilled the more she practiced.
He Jinxuan hadn’t expected her to learn so quickly, and couldn’t help but marvel at Xinyan’s cleverness in his heart.
The tenderness in his eyes was truly overwhelming.
By the end of the morning, Xinyan was already able to drive effortlessly.
Looking at Xinyan, He Jinxuan couldn’t help but be immensely proud, filled with a sense of honor that this was his partner.
Seeing that it wasn’t early, He Jinxuan said, "Yanyan, you’ve practiced enough. Let’s head back, you should take a break."
Xinyan was enjoying the drive and didn’t feel tired, but it was indeed almost noon, so she agreed. "Alright, let’s wrap up and go home."
Having learned to drive, Xinyan was in high spirits. "Right, let’s go to the research institute this afternoon. I miss Sili and Siyan."
He Jinxuan slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot."
Xinyan saw him slap himself. "What’s wrong?"
He Jinxuan then said, "A few days ago, I went to the research institute. Lin Kaixin asked me to tell you that the 10% profit from the design has already been transferred to your account before the new year."
When Xinyan heard this, she remembered the matter.
Ever since Lin Kaixin took a liking to Sili and Siyan’s clothing designs, and through her introduction, Xinyan signed an agreement with a clothing factory, receiving 200 yuan per design drawing plus 10% of the net profit from sales.
Initially, the factory leader did not agree to the profit sharing, as it was a state-owned factory, and profits were public; they promised 500 yuan per design piece instead.
Xinyan didn’t have much hope, she just mentioned it casually.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the factory leader changed their stance, saying they would discuss it further, and eventually signed the current contract.
Later on, she found out from Lin Kaixin that it was the suggestion of a new secretary at the factory, though it ended up being the 10% she proposed instead of 20%.
The secretary said everyone who saw the design drawings thought they were great, and they would sell well before the new year. They worried that without agreeing to Xinyan’s terms, new design drawings in the future might not be collaborated on with them.
This prompted the factory leaders to reconsider and change their decision after discussions.
Xinyan also knew that state-owned clothing factories wouldn’t agree to profit shares in one go.
So she was very satisfied with the final result.
After all, with this money coming in, she now had a source of startup capital for whatever she planned to do in the future.
When they returned home, they didn’t expect Gu Wanqing to have Sister Chen prepare a hot pot. Seeing the divided pot on the tin stove, she asked, "Where did this pot come from?"
Gu Wanqing looked proudly. "I had someone send it over."
Xinyan gave her beautiful mother a thumbs up. "Impressive."
This pot wasn’t available here, so it seemed she underestimated Ms. Gu Wanqing’s capabilities.
She had actually heard that the Gu Family had previously sent someone back to China, and that there were already people in Beijing to set things up. Now it made sense.
