Chapter 566: The Hot-tempered Young Wife Captures the Warm-hearted and Handsome Factory Director 14
Pei Jingping's lips curled up in a playful arc as he looked at Lin Yi with interest, his eyes full of smiles. Seeing the undisguised surprise on Lin Yi's face, he couldn't help but tease, "I'm a factory manager after all. Are you surprised to have all this savings?" His voice was steady, calm and confident.
Lin Yi nodded subconsciously. Thinking carefully, considering Pei Jingping's status as the factory director, these savings didn't seem to be much. However, since Pei Jingping was willing to take it out, she decided to treat the money as his investment.
"This 4,200 yuan is your investment capital!" Lin Yi's words were resounding and full of confidence. However, Pei Jingping just smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.
Afterward, Lin Yi and Pei Jingping enjoyed delicious dumplings together. Afterward, Pei Jingping consciously cleared the dishes and headed to the kitchen to wash them. Lin Yi, on the other hand, went into the kitchen and began preparing fried chicken for the two children. The kitchen was soon filled with the enticing aroma of golden, crispy fried chicken about to emerge from the pan.
Just then, there was a polite and rhythmic knock on the door. Lin Yi stopped what she was doing and listened attentively. From the knock, she could tell that the other party was not an uninvited guest.
She wiped her hands and walked quickly to the door. The moment she opened it, a young man in a neat suit and with a handsome face came into her sight.
The man had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes were soft and sincere, and he asked politely, "I guess you are Miss Lin Yi?" His voice was steady and pleasant, giving people a friendly feeling.
"Yes, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lin Yi's eyes were full of confusion as she looked up and down at the man in front of her.
"Hello, Miss Lin. I am Zhou Chusheng, the owner of Yunmeng Photo Studio. I'm sorry to come here today because I want to discuss cooperation with you!" Zhou Chusheng said, humbly extending his right hand with anticipation in his eyes.
Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected business to come to her so soon. She warmly shook Zhou Chusheng's hand, a bright smile on her face: "Boss Zhou, please come in!"
At this moment, Pei Jingping, who had just changed into his home clothes, walked out of the room and saw Lin Yi and Zhou Chusheng shaking hands enthusiastically. For some reason, looking at the two hands shaking, an inexplicable displeasure surged in his heart, and he felt that this scene was particularly glaring.
"Are there guests?" Pei Jingping tried hard to hide the displeasure on his face and asked in a calm tone.
When he asked this, the two of them quickly let go of each other's hands. Seeing this, Lin Yi hurriedly introduced him to Pei Jingping: "This is the owner of the famous Yunmeng Photo Studio in our city. He came to me to discuss cooperation!" After that, she casually introduced him to Zhou Chusheng: "This is my husband Pei Jingping!"
Although Lin Yi's tone was casual, the word "husband" was like a sweet candy, instantly filling Pei Jingping with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. His originally gloomy face brightened up, and he became much more enthusiastic towards Zhou Chusheng.
"Boss Zhou, come in and sit down!" Pei Jingping said as he quickly walked to the coffee table and started pouring tea for Zhou Chusheng.
After the three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room, Lin Yi was the first to ask, "What exactly did Boss Zhou say about the cooperation?"
"I'm the photographer for Director Song's wedding. The makeup and styling you did for Director Song were really great. I'd like to hire you as a makeup artist for our studio. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing?" Zhou Chusheng's words were full of excitement and sincerity, and his eyes were full of recognition of Lin Yi's skills.
Lin Yi frowned slightly and thought for a moment. She knew that collaborating with a photo studio was indeed a good opportunity to expand the market. In this era of relatively backward communication, it was too difficult to quickly spread the word about one's makeup skills on one's own.
But she has her own concerns. She has two children at home who need to be taken care of, and she is simply not capable of working with fixed hours. She also doesn't want to be restricted in her freedom.
After some deliberation, Lin Yi suggested, "Boss Zhou, I have two children to take care of, so I can't work a fixed-time shift. If your studio ever gets a job that requires makeup, like wedding anniversary photos or artistic photos, please let me know and I'll be there anytime. What do you think?"
In this day and age, most photo shoots are done indoors. Lin Yi felt that each makeup application wouldn't take too long, so she came up with this plan.
Zhou Chusheng pondered for a moment and felt that Lin Yi's proposal was indeed reasonable. Photo studios don't have business requiring makeup every day, so this kind of cooperation is more cost-effective for him.
So, he said, "I accept Miss Lin's proposal. Every time a customer needs makeup, 20% of their payment will be your reward. However, Miss Lin needs to provide her own cosmetics. What do you think?"
In fact, Yunmeng Photo Studio did not originally provide makeup services, and most of the customers who came to take photos were either bare-faced or had their own makeup on.
At Song Jiahui's wedding, Zhou Chusheng, with his keen business sense, spotted a business opportunity. However, he wasn't entirely sure whether the service would be viable or how many people would be willing to pay for it. Lin Yi's suggestion solved his problem.
"Okay, I have no objection. I also have one request. For those who come to your studio to take wedding anniversary photos, I will recommend that they have makeup and photography services on the wedding day. If the customer requires both services, we will charge a fee for each. If the customer only needs makeup services, I will give Mr. Zhou a 10% commission. After all, the customer comes to your studio in the first place. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"
Lin Yi's request made Zhou Chusheng's eyes light up, as if he had seen a new business opportunity, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Lin Yi keenly sensed Zhou Chusheng's thoughts and reminded him at the right time: "Boss Zhou, you can consider video recording services. If newlyweds can record their happy moments through video, I think they will be very happy if they can afford it!"
Lin Yi knew that wedding video services would become popular in a few years. Although this service was still relatively luxurious, families willing to spend money on makeup and photography should have good financial conditions and would most likely be willing to pay for higher-end services.
Moreover, through observing Zhou Chusheng, Lin Yi felt that he should have a way to get a video recorder and was very interested in this aspect.
However, Lin Yi didn't know that her words were like a key that opened up a whole new world for Zhou Chusheng. In the future, the country's largest wedding planning company would quietly sprout at this moment, and a new business legend would be about to begin.
