Chapter 92 Win-Win "Sure enough, you're still restless!"...

At noon the day before the business trip, during the break after lunch, Wang Ying went to see Lin Fanghua.

The factory's hot sauce trial was a success, and now it's officially in production. Lin Fanghua was promoted to team leader, specifically responsible for hot sauce production. The hot sauce doesn't yet have a name; it's sold like soybean paste. After her promotion, Lin Fanghua approached Wang Ying once, wanting to treat her to a meal, but unfortunately, the two never got to eat.

Wang Ying felt that Lin Fanghua should be in high spirits at this time, but when she saw Lin Fanghua, she looked pale and haggard.

Wang Ying frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Lin Fanghua smiled bitterly: "Almost."

"What do you mean almost? You must have a good rest when you are sick. People should never joke with their bodies." Wang Ying said seriously.

"I...had a miscarriage a few days ago." Lin Fanghua said.

Wang Ying took a deep breath: "Then, then you should rest at home!"

"I've been resting for a few days." said Lin Fanghua.

"But you can't see that you haven't recovered yet. Can't you take a leave? I'll help you." Wang Ying said hurriedly. Miscarriage is no joke.

Lin Fanghua shook her head. "It's okay. The period is young and the curettage is complete. I wanted to come back to work on my own initiative. Let's not talk about my personal affairs. What does Director Wang want to talk to me about?"

Wang Ying felt a chill when she heard the word "curettage." "Is it really all right? The doctor said I can go back to work?"

"It's really okay, I know what's going on." Lin Fang said.

Seeing that Lin Fanghua was very stubborn, Wang Ying stopped trying to persuade her and simply told her, "I have to go to Nanchong on a business trip tomorrow."

When Nan Chong was mentioned, Lin Fanghua smiled and said, "I went on a business trip with the director last time. It was very fun."

Wang Ying also smiled and said in a softer voice, "I'll bring two bottles of chili sauce to the chef at the guesthouse for you."

Lin Fanghua looked at Wang Ying: "Why?"

"What do you think? Of course it's for selling to them later." Wang Ying said.

"But the factory hasn't agreed to this yet, right?" Lin Fanghua said.

"If the factory doesn't have this intention, can't we just fight for it ourselves? If the factory doesn't have this intention, we can let the other party have the intention first!"

"Okay! Then I'll get you two bottles and give them to you when I get off work!" Lin Fanghua also made up her mind. Now that her children are gone, she has to devote herself to her work.

"Well, I'll say then that you asked me to bring it to him." Wang Ying said.

Lin Fanghua looked at Wang Ying, her eyes red again. Perhaps her mother and Wang Ying were the only ones in this world who could understand her.

"Thank you, you always help me." Lin Fanghua said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Oh, why are you crying again? You're still in the postpartum period, right? Don't let your eyes get damaged. It could cause a serious illness," Wang Ying said. Wang Ying felt that Lin Fanghua's tears weren't just out of gratitude, but perhaps because she was still feeling pain. Her haggardness wasn't just physical, it was probably also emotional, as could be seen in her eyes. Wang Ying thought it might be because of the miscarriage, and she couldn't bear to part with her child.

"You will have children in the future, and your own health is the most important thing. If you can't do it, you should go back and have some rest to get your body in good shape. It doesn't matter if the factory is short of you for a day or two." Wang Ying added.

"I know. Thank you for your concern, Director." Lin Fanghua said, "I know what's going on. I'm worried at home, so I'd rather be at home and feel comfortable."

"Just remember this. Don't do any heavy physical work for now. It's almost lunch time. I'll go back first. Please pay attention." Wang Ying glanced at his watch.

"Okay, I'll give you the hot sauce after get off work."

"Okay." Wang Ying waved his hand and left, returning to his office.

Lin Fanghua looked at Wang Ying's back, feeling immense gratitude. Why could someone so insignificant to her understand and help her, while the person next to her only spoke harshly to her and even engaged in physical violence?

Lin Fanghua didn't turn around and leave until Wang Ying's figure turned to the back of the factory.

After get off work in the evening, Lin Fanghua gave two bottles of chili sauce to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying felt that Lin Fanghua's face looked even uglier. She was really worried about her and said, "Are you really okay? If not, go to the hospital! Health is the capital of revolution!"

"I know." Lin Fanghua said.

Wang Ying sighed, "I don't know how to persuade you. In a word, only when you get well will there be endless possibilities in the future."

Lin Fanghua was stunned for a few seconds and repeated Wang Ying's words twice in her mind: "I understand. Thank you."

Wang Ying left work with the hot sauce, and Zhao Yunsheng was waiting for her at the factory gate as usual. Zhao Yunsheng came every day, and it was no longer unusual for people in the factory to see him.

Zhao Yunsheng drove Wang Ying home. Wang Ying asked him, "Have you bought the things I asked you to buy?"

"I've bought it. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.

Wang Ying wanted to take Tao Su to Nanchong, and even hid it from Director Zhao.

"Actually, I think it's okay for you to tell my dad. He will always side with you and it's impossible for him to side with anyone else." Zhao Yunsheng said again.

"I won't say anything for now. Just take it and try it first. I'll talk to him next." Wang Ying said.

"I'll do whatever you say. But I'm afraid it's too heavy for me to carry ten kilograms of peach cakes," said Zhao Yunsheng.

"It's more than ten pounds, and there are two bottles of chili sauce. It's not heavy, and I don't have to carry it all the time." Although Wang Ying is not tall, he is not a squeamish person.

Zhao Yunsheng said nothing more. He supported all of Wang Ying's decisions and actions because she supported him in the same way. Ever since their last night talk, when Wang Ying expressed her support for his pursuit of his ideals, he had resolved to support her wholeheartedly.

The next day, Zhao Yunsheng sent Wang Ying to the train station before going to work.

Wang Ying was traveling alone on the train this time, but she wasn't afraid. Along the way, Wang Ying had been reading a book that Director Xiang had insisted on lending her yesterday, telling her to read on the train. It was a math textbook about statistics...

Since it was really boring in the car and she couldn't read other books, Wang Ying really studied this textbook. Others must have thought she was some top student.

Wang Ying looked at it and found that she knew a lot of things in it, but there was much more that she didn't know. After reading it this way, she did gain something.

Wang Ying arrived in Nanchong. He was the same truck driver and porter as last time, and he still rode in the same truck bed, having a bumpy ride all the way to Nanchong.

After arriving in Nanchong, Wang Ying met the sales manager of the Nanchong Department Store. He was a lean man in his thirties. Wang Ying hadn't seen him the last time she visited. This time, upon her arrival, she was invited to his office.

"Team Leader Wang, right? Please take a seat."

Wang Ying smiled and said, "I'm a little embarrassed to say it myself. Now I'm the deputy director."

"Oh my, Deputy Director Wang, you are so promising at a young age! So promising at a young age!" said the sales director with a smile.

"I don't deserve it. I need more education and experience. Now I'm here to deliver goods again, so I want to see more of the world." Wang Ying said.

"Yes, your factory's shaqima sells very well in our Nanchong."

"Thank you. This is inseparable from the support of the department store." Wang Ying said very sincerely.

"I heard that you bought some fermented glutinous rice cake from our store last time. How did you feel about it?" asked the sales manager.

After he said that, Wang Ying understood that they wanted to sell the glutinous rice cakes to Beichong.

"It's delicious." said Wang Ying.

"Do you think the people of Beichong will like it?"

"Although everyone has different tastes, delicious food can still conquer most people," said Wang Ying.

"That's right, that's right. The glutinous rice cakes we have in Nanchong have stood the test of time and the people," said the sales director.

Wang Ying could tell that the sales manager really wanted to sell the glutinous rice cakes to Beichong, but this should be a matter that the manufacturer in Nanchong and the department store in Beichong discussed...

Wang Ying expressed his doubts, and the sales director smiled and said: "We are not asking Director Wang to discuss this order. We just need a bridge. Besides, we are all contributing to socialist construction." There was no need to listen to the repetitive words. Wang Ying felt that this director had a good relationship with the food factory in Nanchong, or they were related.

"Then what does the director want me to do?" Wang Ying took the initiative to speak. She knew that the other party had been waiting for her to ask.

"Didn't Technician Tang from our plastics factory buy dozens of kilograms of goods from you last time?"

"I'm sorry, Director, I don't have that much money and tickets. I can buy less." Wang Ying said.

"Haha, we at Nanchong are the most hospitable. We can give some to Director Wang, and you can take it back and distribute it." said the sales director.

This was a repeat of their previous path... but that was a coincidence, so now they had to do it on purpose. Wang Ying felt it was unnecessary. Now that the two cities had started with Shaqima, they could definitely have friendly discussions! And then, by the way, let's talk about our peach cakes too.

"Director, you're joking. How can I accept this? Technician Tang bought it himself at the department store. How can I accept your things? I know you have good intentions, but people who don't know may think we have made a principled mistake?" Wang Ying said.

The sales manager smiled and said, "Not really, not really. But Director Wang is right. I'm just too hospitable."

Wang Ying smiled broadly, "The people of Nanchong are truly hospitable. Director, I appreciate your kindness. I was planning to buy some to take back, so don't worry. However, I think this glutinous rice cake is delicious, but it should be eaten fresh. If it's not kept for a long time, it will become hard after two or three days. I'm afraid it will also break easily during transportation. You should contact the food factory here to see how to solve these problems."

The sales director was not angry when he heard Wang Ying say this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Deputy Director Wang is a real person."

"We all want the people to have something fresh to eat. We all have the same idea. I can really understand the director's feelings," Wang Ying said. "I'll ask you when I get back."

"Okay, okay." The sales manager smiled happily.

Wang Ying was also happy that she had saved her peach cake. She had been worried about whether she would be able to find Tang Jiaming today and whether she would miss her return train. But now she was no longer worried and took the peach cake back as it was.

Wang Ying was not worried that glutinous rice cakes would take away the business of their non-staple food factory. The market would be open in two years, and it would become more and more prosperous. There would be all kinds of competition in the future. Standing still would only lead to a dead end.

After leaving the sales manager's office, Wang Ying went to the store counter, where the salesperson knew her.

"Comrade, you're here, and the goods have arrived. Our stock is almost empty." The salesperson said with a smile.

"Well, the goods have arrived. I will buy some more glutinous rice cakes. My family all liked them the last time I bought them." Wang Ying said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll weigh it for you. How much do you want?"

"Two pounds, please," Wang Ying said. She couldn't carry any more, since she still had ten pounds of peach cakes in her luggage bag.

Wang Ying bought some glutinous rice cakes and went to the guesthouse to find the chef.

The front desk staff at the guesthouse didn't recognize Wang Ying. Seeing that she was not staying overnight, she asked for the chef with a foreign accent and didn't know the chef's last name, so they asked her to show her ID.

Wang Ying showed her his work ID and business trip certificate. After she looked at them, she reluctantly went to the kitchen to find the chef.

The chef recognized Wang Ying as soon as he saw her and blurted out, "Hot sauce!"

Wang Ying was speechless. Why did they change her name?

"Chef, have you imitated the chili sauce?" Wang Ying asked with a smile.

"Tsk, comrade, you always hit people in the face. I failed to imitate it. I don't know what ingredient is missing. I feel like I've been a cook in vain." said the chef.

Wang Ying smiled and took out two bottles of hot sauce from his bag. He said, "Here, you treated us to a meal last time, so we can't eat your food for free. This is a return gift."

"Oh! You really brought it to me!" the chef said in surprise.

"Well, I came to Nanchong on a business trip, and my colleague asked me to bring him here." Wang Ying said.

The chef immediately opened the bottle of hot sauce and took a sniff: "Hmm! That's the smell! Why doesn't the one I make have this aroma?"

Wang Ying smiled and said, "I'll bring you two bottles this time. I don't know when you'll come to Nanchong next time. If you want more, you'll have to buy it yourself in Beichong. Or you can work harder and make it yourself!"

"Are you selling this sauce? Didn't your colleague's mother say it was made?" The chef had a good memory.

"Everyone says it's delicious, so the factory produces it. Of course, more people should be able to eat delicious food. Anyway, it's on sale now," said Wang Ying.

The chef looked at Wang Ying and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "I can't take your money for free. It's my treat. Come to the kitchen."

Wang Ying looked at his watch and said regretfully, "No, it's too late. I have to catch a train. Please treat me next time I come on a business trip."

Seeing that Wang Ying had to catch a train, the chef didn't try to stop him and said, "Then wait a moment."

The chef ran back to the kitchen, brought back a paper bag, handed it to Wang Ying, and said, "Eat it on the way."

Wang Ying didn't hesitate this time and said with a smile: "The people of Nanchong are really hospitable. I won't be polite. Thank you. See you later."

Wang Ying waved to them and left. She returned to the department store and asked someone to take her to the train station.

On the train, Wang Ying opened the paper package the chef had given her. It turned out to be chopped pork elbow in sauce. This package was indeed worth the two bottles of hot sauce. This chef was a real man. Wang Ying took one look and rewrapped the paper package. Eating pork elbow in sauce on the train was really a bit annoying.

It was already dark when she returned to Beichongtian. There were not many people at the train station. As soon as she got out of the station, she saw Zhao Yunsheng waiting for her.

Zhao Yunsheng took the bag from Wang Ying's hand and said, "Huh? Why is it still so heavy? Did you buy something?"

Wang Ying smiled and said, "The items haven't been delivered yet."

"Why? Didn't you see anyone?" Zhao Yunsheng asked. "Let's talk about it when we get home."

When they got home, Chen Xiuqin and Director Zhao had already eaten and there was food left for them on the stove in the kitchen.

Zhao Yunsheng went to the kitchen to serve the food. Wang Ying took out the things she brought from Nanchong and said, "I brought back some braised pork elbows and glutinous rice cakes. Mom and Dad, come and have some."

"You guys eat it." Chen Xiuqin said.

"Come on, this is made by the chef at Nanchong Guesthouse, come and try it." Wang Ying said with a smile, "I just happened to have something to talk to Dad about."

Director Zhao came out of the room when he heard that Wang Ying had returned. Wang Ying took the initiative to go to Nanchong. He was suspicious of what she was going to do and was waiting for her to "confess and be lenient"!

Director Zhao and Chen Xiuqin sat down. Zhao Yunsheng brought the food and went to get the bowls and chopsticks, running back and forth three times.

"The cake we had last time was very delicious," said Chen Xiuqin.

"This braised pork elbow is good." said Zhao Yunsheng.

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Mom, if we sell this in Beichong, would you buy it?"

Without even thinking, Chen Xiuqin said, "I'll buy some food occasionally."

Director Zhao looked at Wang Ying and asked, "What do you mean, they want to sell this to Beichong?"

"Yes." Wang Ying nodded. "The people over there want me to take the lead for them."

Director Zhao was silent for a moment and then said, "You agree?"

"Well, it just so happens that we want to sell peach cakes to Nanchong. Let's talk about it together, and also hot sauce and other things." Wang Ying said.

Director Zhao put down his chopsticks and said, "Didn't Old Qian warn you yesterday? Why are you going there again..."

"They came to me first and wanted to give me dozens of kilograms. I didn't dare to accept it, so I bought two kilograms and brought them back," said Wang Ying.

Chen Xiuqin and Director Zhao nodded quickly: "No, no, this is a mistake!"

"I think this is a great opportunity, and we shouldn't refuse it," Wang Ying said. "They were the ones who brought it up first, and their peach cakes aren't made in their own factory, which is also very important. I don't think there's any reason we can't come to an agreement."

"I'm afraid that glutinous rice cakes will take up our original market share." Director Zhao said.

Zhao Yunsheng said on the side: "But we have a share outside the city."

Wang Ying said, "That's right, Dad. Do you think our society will develop, or will it always be like this?"

"It must be developed," said Director Zhao.

"If we want to develop, we can't be too conservative," Wang Ying said seriously. "You have to stand on the same front with me on this matter."

"He must be on the same side as you." Chen Xiuqin said hurriedly.

Zhao Yunsheng echoed, "Yes, that's for sure."

"Go and talk to Lao Qian tomorrow," said Director Zhao.

"Well, I'll go and talk to them first. If I can't convince them, I'll let Director Xiang talk to them. If he still can't make them work, you can go." Wang Ying said.

"Isn't your Director Xiang in charge of the matter?" Director Zhao said.

"He says he doesn't care, but he's actually very enthusiastic. Some time ago, we asked Qiu Zhenhua to draw new packaging for our peach cakes. When the first draft came out, he was not satisfied and secretly gave us some suggestions. Director Xiang gives me the impression that he is unwilling to admit that he has done anything, and even more unwilling to admit that he has done good things and useful things, but he can't help it, which is really funny sometimes." Wang Ying said with a smile.

Zhao Yunsheng said: "I guess something happened in the past. This is a psychological defense mechanism."

"He also knows Gu Xuan. He mentioned it to me once, but I didn't respond, and he never mentioned it again." Wang Ying said, "Anyway, if I can't come to an agreement, let him go."

"Okay, if you can convince Lao Qian, this will be done," said Director Zhao.

Wang Ying thought this was a win-win situation and thought it shouldn't be difficult to convince Director Qian. But the next day, she brought the glutinous rice cakes to Director Qian and mentioned the matter. Director Qian got angry and thought Wang Ying was acting on her own.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring this up for now?" Director Qian said angrily. "I was told you'd take the initiative to go on a business trip to Nanchong. Sure enough, you're still restless!"
