The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 224: Putting Plans into Action

Wang Miaomiao looked at the man bustling about, a smug smile on her face.

Jiang Yan, carrying the dishes, saw her and couldn’t help but show a doting smile. He gently tapped her forehead, "What’s up? Why are you so happy?"

"Hmm... I just realized I’ve accidentally found a big treasure, hehe..." Wang Miaomiao looked at him with a straight smile, all her eyes were on him.

Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Then you better treasure him well."

The two gazed into each other’s eyes as if there were starlight in them, and it felt like pink bubbles were rising all around, full of sweet ambiguity.

"Oh... Sister Hui Lan, why do I feel full without eating..." The voice of the spoiling Cheng Xue finally brought the two back to their senses.

"Full? That’s perfect, I’m really hungry, so none of this is yours." Wang Miaomiao scooted the braised pork in front of Cheng Xue towards herself...

Cheng Xue saw this and thought how could it be. She was so hungry that her front was stuck to her back. She didn’t want to disturb the two of them, but the food on the table smelled so good. If she didn’t stop their lovey-dovey acts and started eating quickly, she wouldn’t be able to hold back her drool... Poor her...

"No... good sister, I’m wrong, my dear sister..." Cheng Xue reached out her hand thinking she was performing exceptionally.

Who knew...

"What are you shouting about, don’t want to eat?" Jiang Yan’s cold voice instantly sobered her up. Oh no, she got carried away.

"Little aunt, my dear aunt, I love you the most..." Quickly changed her lines to save the scene.

"Hehe..."

"Hehe..."

Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Huilan laughed heartily. Truly a live wire, with her, there’s never a shortage of laughter.

"Alright, we’re having a meal, let’s stop laughing now." Jiang Yan spoke up, and everyone then stopped fooling around and started eating.

After dinner, they held a small meeting.

A lot of big stuff happened today, and they still needed to discuss the details of what to do next.

"Little aunt, when do you think the factory will be built?" Cheng Xue knew the factory was already under construction and couldn’t help but feel excited.

Wang Miaomiao was actually looking forward to it too, "I don’t know too well, your little uncle has been busy with all this, I’m just sitting back and relaxing, hehe..."

As she said this, she was quite proud that someone was busying themselves for her so that she could just sit back and enjoy the results.

Cheng Xue and Jiang Huilan exchanged looks, rolling their eyes slightly, sigh... this little aunt (little wife), sometimes she’s really not very reliable...

Jiang Yan peeled sunflower seeds for her while answering their questions, "I’ve handed the construction of the factory to the engineering team, and it’s expected to finish in March..."

In fact, Jiang Yan had used Wang Miaomiao’s name to invest in the engineering team. He had no choice, given he had a fiancée who was focused on a career. He was afraid if he didn’t work hard, he’d fall too far behind her.

The team leader was his buddy from the big courtyard, and many of the employees were retired soldiers, very reliable.

"March, the season of blooming flowers, that’s great." Jiang Huilan envisioned the beautiful future, her smile as radiant as a peach blossom.

"Yeah, we need to step it up too. What about the machines from Germany? We need to get the new machines in as soon as the new factory is built, to look great, right?" Cheng Xue was a bit worried when it came to the machines.

"For this matter, you’ll need someone to help. Wandering around won’t do any good." Jiang Yan handed the peeled peanuts to Wang Miaomiao, while his mind was sorting through contacts, after some picking, he said, "Tomorrow I’ll take you to see Huang Tianyu, he might be able to help."

"Is it Third Brother Huang from the big courtyard?" Jiang Huilan thought of something, and a hard-to-describe expression flashed across her face, too quick for anyone else to notice.

Jiang Yan nodded to confirm.

When Jiang Huilan mentioned it, Cheng Xue recalled, "Him, huh? I heard he’s doing business now, maybe he really can help."

"Who is it?" Seeing that they all knew him, Wang Miaomiao casually asked.

"He’s Grandpa Huang’s youngest grandson, you’ve seen Grandpa Huang, the one doing Tai Chi in the park." Jiang Yan said, and Wang Miaomiao remembered.

Grandpa Huang had two sons, and Huang Tianyu was the son of his younger son. He was a pampered one at home; mischievous as a child, and not very reliable growing up, neither joining the military nor politics. Who would’ve thought, now he’s going into business.

Still, that’s quite alright. His family’s eldest is in the military, the second is in politics, and he’s in business. That’s rather complete, maybe their family can reach a new height.

Jiang Yan’s words made Wang Miaomiao understand. Hearing that the family has someone in military, political and business circles, yet the Jiang family seemed to lack a business mogul.

Oh... Should she put in more effort too? Can’t fall too far behind others, right?

Jiang Yan hadn’t expected that a few casual words would make the originally lazy little wife a bit more diligent, stealing a step for their family to stand quietly in the business world.

Through their discussions, they had plans for the factory’s future, and they were being implemented step by step.

This winter was busy and fulfilling, and after school was on break, Wang Miaomiao had more time to devote to her career.

For Xuelan Clothing Co., Ltd., she wrote a three-year plan.

Also, she detailed company culture, various rules and regulations, and departmental responsibilities, making sure things would be done according to the rules from now on.

When this thick stack of materials was placed in front of the two, Jiang Huilan and Cheng Xue showed heartfelt admiration on their faces.

Wang Miaomiao felt a bit awkward, sigh... she was just copying some mature operation models from her past life’s company, nothing to boast about, yet seeing these two little fangirls made her a bit embarrassed.

And the main issue was the allocation of shares.

Wang Miaomiao had said she didn’t want to face people directly, but she actually put in the most money, even though it was all loans, yet they were borrowed under her name, bearing the risk. Moreover, when the company was established, she and Jiang Yan did the most work.

She didn’t want to take more shares, but Jiang Huilan and Cheng Xue didn’t agree no matter what.

After a long stand-off and back-and-forth, finally, it was decided that Wang Miaomiao would hold 35% of the shares while Jiang Huilan and Cheng Xue each had 30%. Another 5% would be reserved, to be given to anyone contributing to the company in the future, or set aside for employee benefits, charity or similar purposes. It was to be decided later.

Wang Miaomiao took the title of Chairman but didn’t step in to manage the company’s affairs. However, she would attend the monthly shareholders’ meeting to oversee the general direction.

Jiang Huilan, as Vice Chairman, would be mainly responsible for managing factory production, and Cheng Xue, as Vice Chairman, would mainly handle sales operations at brand stores.

With these clear divisions of labor, everyone could strive towards their target tasks, making work more organized and efficient.

On February 18, 1977, Xuelan Clothing Co., Ltd. was officially established. In the same year, by the end of February, a Xuelan Clothing store opened with great success in Beijing, offering innovative clothing designs that were beloved by young people...
