Fu Qiming took Shen Jinshu's hand and said, "Jinshu, didn't we say that we should just consider it as getting old and go out for a walk, and not think too much?"

Shen Jinshu nodded. "Okay."

She dared not think that after so many disappointments, even if she had hope, it would be dashed again, leading to even greater disappointment.

In the factory area, Lin Chuan was looking at the order details that Fu Tongyuan had brought.

"They want more this time than last time. Do you think you can make this braised beef? If so, add it too."

Lin Chuan considered it for a moment.

The eight companies ordered a total of 1,500 catties of braised pork, 3,000 catties of pork hock, 2,000 catties of pork ribs, 2,000 catties of braised beef, and 800 roast chickens.

The total cost alone is over ten thousand.

Of course, the profits are even more substantial.

"There's a lot of stock this time. If it really doesn't work out, we can do it in smaller batches. I'll have them send someone to pick it up."

After Lin Chuan finished calculating, he was filled with excitement.

"Mr. Fu, let me check if we have enough stock and then I'll get back to you."

Fu Tongyuan smiled and said, "Okay, there's no rush."

"You wouldn't believe it, the last time I sent them braised meat, they really enjoyed it. They've been urging me to order more every day."

Lin Chuan said, "Mr. Fu, the opportunity for my factory is entirely due to you. Thank you."

"There's no need for thanks between us. Overall, your stuff is better."

Lin Chuan packed his things and prepared to leave.

He was going to find Tang Xuezhen.

With such a large supply volume, I don't know if it's feasible. Of course, it would be fine to supply in batches.

If Xuancheng can't get approval, Tang Xuezhen might be able to help arrange for some to be transferred from Jincheng or other cities.

Actually, it wouldn't have been so troublesome in the 1990s; it's not feasible now.

However, this is already the beginning of the golden age of doing business. Whoever seizes the opportunity first will get rich first. You can't wait.

Lin Chuan could have made a phone call, but with such a busy schedule, it would have seemed insincere.

Lin Chuan didn't go directly into Tang Xuezhen's office, but waited for a while at the entrance of his workplace.

When Tang Xuezhen came out at noon, she saw Lin Chuan waiting there.

He walked over. "Da Chuan, you're here, why don't you go inside?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I've come to ask Brother Tang for a favor."

"Your business is my business, there's no need to ask for help," Tang Xuezhen said with a smile. "Come on, let's go home."

Lin Chuan waved the groceries he had bought, "I've bought all the groceries."

"You little brat."

Back home, Luo Yazhu had just gotten off work and was very happy to see Lin Chuan. "Da Chuan's here! Come in, come in. I'll go cook a few dishes right away."

Lin Chuan handed over the dishes he had brought, saying, "Sister-in-law, I came uninvited and just happened to bring some dishes. Could you please heat them up for me?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Yazhu quickly took the dishes, saying, "Okay, you two brothers chat first, I'll go heat up the dishes."

Tang Pengfei and Tang Jingqiu are both on winter vacation and at home.

Knowing that Lin Chuan had arrived, they all came out to greet him.

Tang Xuezhen and Lin Chuan sat down.

Lin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony, "Brother, my client has ordered more goods this time. Can you get the meat approved?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Tang Xuezhen.

Tang Xuezhen took one look and exclaimed, "Good heavens, Da Chuan, this is far too much. This is truly a huge business for you."

Lin Chuan scratched his head. "Brother, if this order can't be approved, can the order from last time still be approved?"

Tang Xuezhen thought for a moment, "Wait for me to ask about this this afternoon. The quantity is indeed large. Wait for my news."

"Thank you, brother."

Tang Xuezhen laughed and said, "No need to thank me. This is all we need to do. We've already paid all the required documents. I'm just helping to expedite things for you so it can be done faster."

"But Da Chuan, your factory has just been approved, and you already have a second order so quickly, that's amazing."

Lin Chuan said, "Brother, actually, we really have to rely on you. If it weren't for your help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get this much meat approved."

Of course, Lin Chuan wouldn't make things difficult for Tang Xuezhen, and wouldn't let him break the law or violate regulations.

Of course, he couldn't include Tang Xuezhen in his business dealings.

That evening, Tang Xuezhen called Lin Chuan.

"Da Chuan, I asked around for you. You really need to split this into two batches. Our meat is limited. If we give it all to you, there won't be any left for others. How about splitting it into two batches, with a week's interval between them? Do you think that's okay?"

Lin Chuan was secretly delighted, "Okay."

With everything arranged, Lin Chuan thought about completing the formalities before picking up Xu Chunmai and the others tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Fu Tongyuan said, "A week's interval is no problem. You prepare the goods, and we'll send a vehicle over."

With everything settled, Lin Chuan felt much more at ease.

But neither Lin Chuan nor Lin Qingyou slept soundly that night.

Because the next morning, we were going to pick up Fu Tongyuan's parents.

Lin Qingyou had mixed feelings about how things were now.

The parents that Fu Tongyuan took in are very likely his biological parents.

Forty-five-year-old Lin Qingyou tossed and turned all night, sometimes sitting up, sometimes getting out of bed and turning around a couple of times, and sometimes lying down again.

This cycle repeats itself because of that anxious heart.

Early in the morning, Fu Tongyuan had breakfast and drove out of the factory area with his driver, heading straight for the train station.

Lin Chuan looked at Lin Qingyou, whose eyes were dark circles, and said, "Dad, some things are better left to their own devices."

Lin Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right, but I still can't let it go in my heart."

It's normal to not be able to let go.

An hour later, Fu Tongyuan's car drove into the factory gate again.

Lin Chuan and Lin Qingyou stood there.

Immediately afterwards, two elderly people got out of the car.

Shen Jinshu spotted Lin Qingyou at a glance.

She didn't take anything with her, and just walked towards Lin Qingyou step by step.

Her eyes were full of hope. "Are you Qingyou?"

Lin Qingyou nodded. "Yes."

He couldn't quite describe his feelings, only that the old woman in front of him seemed exceptionally kind.

Lin Chuan glanced at Shen Jinshu, then at Fu Qiming.

When he saw the armed bodyguards accompanying Fu Qiming again, he was filled with shock.

Could it be that Fu Qiming was a military leader before his retirement?

Lin Chuan looked at Fu Qiming, and Fu Qiming also looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan's features reminded him of Shen Jinshu.

"Are you Lin Chuan?"

Lin Chuan nodded. "Yes."

The young man before him was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather generous and open-minded, without a trace of flattery, which pleased Fu Qiming greatly.

Lin Chuan called out, "Everyone, come inside. It's too cold outside."

The office that Lin Chuan had tidied up is now full of people.

Lin Chuan knew they were anxious, and he was anxious too.

“Mr. Fu, please stay here for a couple of days. My wife and mother will be arriving this afternoon. My factory is scheduled to open on the 12th. After the opening, I will take you to Yuquan Village.”
