Chapter 478 - 476: Trademark
Fortunately, their trademark registration came through. The name that Lin Wan had cherished for two lifetimes, based on her shop’s name, featured a design with a dot between the characters, Wanyi. Lin Wan made a slight design, and it looked great.After the trademark was finalized, Lin Wan chose a piece of base fabric and had the printing factory print the trademark in sections before sewing it onto the clothes.
The paper bags they made were in kraft paper color, with the brand simply printed on them.
It took two to three days just to sew the remaining trademarks on.
After coaxing Little Star to sleep that night, Lin Wan called Han Yi’s school.
Her brother had already started work for a week, and she wondered if Han Yi had returned or not.
"It’s too late today, comrade. Try calling tomorrow."
"Uncle, could you please notify Han Yi from first grade, National Defense Class Three, to call home when he’s free tomorrow?"
"Sure, I’ll let him know tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle."
She hung up the phone, feeling a faint sense of disappointment. Ugh, without mobile phones, it’s really inconvenient. Homesickness is like a disease; it needs a cure.
Thinking about it, since she married Han Yi, the time he spent by her side was mostly when she was pregnant.
Little Star is now over four months old, and this week, it’s been Lin Wan taking care of her, making some fruit or mashed potato for her during the day.
This little girl is probably teething, wanting to put anything she grabs into her mouth.
As soon as Lin Wan hung up the phone, Little Star woke up. In less than half a minute, she walked over and lifted the covers only to find that she had wet the bed.
The autumn clothes and pants she wore were all soaked.
"Little girl, see? Because of you, everything smells now; the whole room is filled with your pee’s odor. Aren’t you embarrassed?" Lin Wan said as she quickly got clothes to change for the child, fearing she might catch a cold.
Speaking of which, Little Star hasn’t fallen ill since she was born, which makes Lin Wan quite relieved. "Ya ya ya... giggle," Little Star thought Lin Wan was teasing her, laughing happily.
"Good girl."
Little Star was full of energy after sleeping enough. After changing her clothes and feeding her milk, Lin Wan placed her in the cradle.
Gently swaying her and teasing her from time to time.
While at it, she sat on the bed, organizing the recent accounts.
When the three of them started this, Lin Wan made it clear that they would be compensated according to work, with dividends distributed according to shares.
Lin Wan held fifty percent of the shares, while Yin Peibai and Su Ling each held twenty-five percent.
This time, a total of thirteen thousand two hundred yuan was invested. The labor cost alone was over eight thousand. Initially, Su Ling invested one thousand, and Yin Peibai invested five hundred. When the money is divided, each can cover the remaining shares, and the rest is distributed. Currently, they have over seventy to eighty thousand yuan on hand. Dividends must be distributed according to share proportions, not out of sentiment or based on who works more or less, as these can cause conflicts. During collaborations between friends, the easiest way to create conflicts is distrust. Therefore, clear responsibilities and oversight rights are necessary to ensure that there are no conflicts during future business management.
Lin Wan didn’t draft a contract this time as she wanted to see the level of understanding among the three of them. If there were disagreements or dissatisfaction, she would break it off immediately.
The next day, at noon, Lin Wan received a call from Han Yi.
The moment she heard his voice, Lin Wan’s tears flowed uncontrollably. "Husband, I miss you."
"Xiao Wan, sorry, I took on a task during this vacation, it was urgent, and I didn’t have time to tell you."
"Why do you have to take tasks during school?"
"Even in school, I’m an active-duty soldier. Don’t cry; it’s only a few days this time, and I was delayed on the way back. I just arrived this morning."
"Were you hurt?"
"No, I’m fine. How’s everything at home? Is Little Star being good?"
"Our daughter is good, everything at home is fine, don’t worry. I sent you photos and clothes; did you receive them?"
"I saw them but haven’t had time to open them... Did you make more clothes?"
"Yes, this time I worked with Su Ling and Peibai. It wasn’t too hectic for me. Also, my mother-in-law and Aunt Jin often help with the baby, so I’m quite relaxed now."
"Take good care of yourself, wear more as it gets cold, so I won’t worry."
"Okay, take care of yourself too. In the package, I sent you, there are meatballs made by Mom and jerky I made for you. Don’t hold back from eating them; I’ll send you more in a few days."
"Xiao Wan, the school cafeteria is pretty good; I get to eat meat once a week. You keep sending things, which is a waste of money," Han Yi said, though his heart was warm, and the smile on his face never faded.
"We have this money. I’ll tell you a secret; our family made over ten thousand this time, so we are now ten-thousand-yuan household."
On Han Yi’s side, he couldn’t help but laugh; his wife was indeed a little money grubber.
"I also got a bonus from this task, though not much, just one percent of yours. It’s a hundred yuan."
"Keep it for yourself, buy what you need. Don’t skimp, okay?"
"Okay," Han Yi glanced at the queue waiting to make calls, not saying much to Lin Wan.
He comforted her a bit before hanging up the call.
Back at the dorm, Ning Jiang was trying on clothes, unexpectedly finding that his wife was so thoughtful now.
Han Yi looked at the parcel on his bed and opened it.
Inside were his thick cotton-padded clothes, as well as several new cotton-padded jackets and trousers.
After taking a look, he found a few similar items on Ning Jiang’s side.
"It seems our wives want us to wear matching clothes, like twins," Ning Jiang remarked jokingly, seeing Han Yi’s clothes.
Han Yi gave Ning Jiang a sidelong glance, saying, "Can’t be twins, I’d look better wearing it out."
"You..." Ning Jiang was at a loss, knowing well enough his looks were decent, but not as good as Han Yi’s genes.
After all, Han Yi was fair-skinned, and despite being exposed to the elements daily, his skin was still so fair, like a woman’s.
Ning Jiang secretly complained but dared not retort loudly.
Their dorm was a six-person room, with them, a regiment leader from the same district, Liao Ye. Their district sent five people in total; the other two were in the neighboring dorm.
The remaining three included two from the Southern District and one from the Central Plains District. They resided in adjacent rooms, all active-duty personnel from the team studying here. This time’s task involved them and Lu Guoqi and Liao Ye, with Lu Guoqi being another regiment leader from their district, living next door.
Besides their district, there were eighteen others. This mission mainly involved dealing with some illegal elements up north.
Several groups were active in the south, dealing in animal fur and ammunition.
This time, their group of six confiscated a large and a small group. But the credit was snatched away when reported.
The two others in their group were Li Bangguo and Sha Jianqiang from the Southern Military Region, sharing the dorm.
"Han Yi, what do you think about this incident?" Ning Jiang asked softly, seeing no one else present.
Han Yi paused, frowning slightly. "Lu Guoqi doesn’t usually interact much with them, so there shouldn’t be any conflict. Liao Ye is from the Liao family in the Capital City; having interacted, he’s a good guy without the spoiled rich-kid demeanor, very capable and agile. I heard Sha Jianqiang is also from the Capital, from the same compound as Liao Ye. They’re not that friendly in the dorm, possibly having some sort of grudge. This might not have been aimed at him."
Ning Jiang frowned, "Damn, that Sha’s been arrogant since we got here, never showing us a friendly face, full of contempt."
"I’m sure this wasn’t directed at me by Sha Jianqiang."
Before Han Yi could speak further, Liao Ye entered with a bag. "Just got back, being this lax with vigilance, talking behind people’s back without fear of them hearing?"
Ning Jiang knew his character and wasn’t angry, quickly glancing at the doorway. "Those two haven’t come back yet. Hey, why are you so certain Silly Strong wasn’t after you?"
Silly Strong was a nickname they gave Sha Jianqiang, to be precise, Liao Ye had coined it in the compound, and now it was adopted privately within the dorm.
"He wasn’t around, in the compound it was always I who bullied him, only after joining the team years back did we not see each other much."
"Could it be he’s now rebelling, seeking revenge on you?"
