Zheng Hua considered asking again, but Xia Wan interjected, “I still have work to finish. Please don’t follow me. Thank you.”
Once she concluded her statement, she quickened her pace and departed. She sought to limit her interactions with him, already having extended a kind enough reminder.
Pulling out her phone, Xia Wan checked it for any missed calls or messages from Chen Mo.
Chen MO had mentioned having availability in the morning and evening when they spoke yesterday. She had anticipated him coming to find her.
Giving her face a pat, Xia Wan muttered, “Xia Wan, you need to be more focused. Don’t let all your attention be consumed by men. You have a lot of other tasks.”
Upon returning home, Xia Wan resolved to divert her focus through designing.
Recalling popular bracelet, necklace, and earring designs from her past life, she delved into creating her own designs.
She was deeply engrossed in the process until Yan Han summoned her for dinner, making her realize how much time had passed.
A happy smile spread across Xia Wan’s face as she revealed six completed designs.
Recalling that Wang Peng had guaranteed a minimum price of 3000 yuan per design, the total amounted to 18000 yuan for the six designs.
Considering her goal of buying a house, Xia Wan felt it was still a distant target. For her to gain the commission from these designs, she needed to promptly deliver them to Wang Peng for processing and subsequent sale.
This process would likely take at least three months, even if it were expedited.
Contemplating this, she realized it might not be sufficient. She needed alternative methods to earn money.
The average price of a house in first-tier cities was 80,000 yuan. If she aimed to purchase property in the two most prosperous cities, say five houses in each, totaling ten houses, the cost would be 800,000 yuan based on regular land prices.
For houses in central locations, Xia Wan approximated a cost of 100,000 yuan each.
Factoring in renovation expenses and annual property management fees, Xia Wan estimated an annual fee of 10,000 yuan per house.
With ten houses, this would sum up to 100,000 yuan annually.
Effectively, she was looking at nearly a million yuan for ten ordinary houses.
Waiting for property values to rise substantially would take several years.
Yan Han excitedly shared, “Our clothing store opens this afternoon. Wanwan, after dinner, let’s go shopping for clothes. There seems to be a lot of variety.” “Sure,” Xia Wan agreed.
Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of buying a house, making her somewhat absent-minded while selecting clothes. Yan Han and Xia Feng were the ones really participating in the shopping process.
Xia Hai was primarily responsible for carrying the items, having little fashion insight. He considered functionality more than anything.
Sister Hong offered them competitive prices and showcased the latest fashion trends. Yan Han engaged in animated discussions with Sister Hong about current clothing styles.
Xia Wan told Yan Han, ‘Mom, you all stay here. I’ll check out other places.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Familiar with the area, Yan Han trusted Xia Wan to explore.
Ambling through the wholesale market, Xia Wan observed potential buyers gathering around various stalls. While some simply inquired about prices, a few made direct purchases.
Amid the stalls, she spotted bubble-blowing toys, a range of sunglasses, and sun hats. However, their quality was subpar, failing to meet Xia Wan’s standards.
She aimed to sell high-quality clothing, products that would uphold the store’s reputation.
It wasn’t until she encountered a familiar sunblock garment at a stall that she found something suitable.
These sunblock clothes were available in different colors, all crafted from gauze material. Lightweight and sun-protective, they were comfortable to wear.
Examining a piece, Xia Wan appreciated the fabric’s comfort and lack of allergens.
“Boss, how much is this dress?” she inquired.
The stall owner, a man in his thirties, smiled upon hearing her query. “These are our latest sunblock clothes. Each piece is only 15 yuan..”
