Chapter 179 Three Playmates

Su Le decided to go to the children's store by herself. She stood up, holding her waist, and walked to the door. Xiong Ying was standing at the door. When he saw Su Le coming out, he followed her closely.

The two of them arrived at the store Xu Hu had chosen. There were five girls standing nearby. Su Le looked at them curiously. When Xu Hu saw Su Le, he trotted over and said, "Le Le, why are you here? I've arranged everything."

Su Le shook his head helplessly and asked, "Are those five girls all from the children's store?"

Xu Hu nodded and waved to the five people. They came over and said, "Brother Hu."

Su Le looked at the five girls; they all looked honest and dutiful. Xu Hu introduced them to Su Le. "This is the new team leader, An Yan. She previously interned at the Jingshi store, so she's definitely a good fit there. The five girls were all recommended by the alliance stores."

An Yan looked at Xu Hu's attitude, then at Su Le, and quickly realized that this girl was their boss. "Hello, boss."

Su Le nodded unexpectedly. She was a very perceptive girl, indeed a good one. "Hello, An Yan, is that you? Do a good job."

An Yan nodded repeatedly, and Su Le asked Xu Hu, "How long will it take to install it?"

Xu Hu looked inside through the glass and said, "There are only two dressing rooms left. That's about it."

Su Le also looked over and said to Xu Hu, "The goods I ordered have arrived at the warehouse. Come with me to meet them."

Xu Hu nodded and followed Su Le downstairs.

Su Le walked in the lobby on the first floor and said to Xu Hu, "Two of the four girls at the back should go to the clothing store. Let the old man take care of them. It will be better if there are men around. If we encounter any difficult customers, the three girls won't suffer any loss."

Xu Hu thought about the family during the Chinese New Year and felt a little upset that he had not handled the situation properly. He nodded and said, "Okay, it was my fault."

Su Le just smiled and said, "You also think that girls can be closer to children." The three of them walked to the underground warehouse, which was full of things. The walls were sealed with cement, and the door was a tightly closed iron door, which completely prevented rats and other animals from entering.

Su Le followed the system's instructions and found the children's clothing and shoes that had been removed from the space. "These are the summer items. Sell them first. Summer is almost here, so sell them first. When summer is almost over, buy the fall items. You're familiar with them, so I won't say much. Here are the shoes, sandals, and everything else."

Xu Hu nodded, wrote it down, and walked out of the basement with Su Le. He ordered milk tea for Su Le, then returned to the children's store and took his people to exchange clothes with the people in the clothing store.

Su Le was drinking milk tea, and Xiong Ying was sitting next to him, also drinking a cup. "After you give birth, I want to take a leave and go back to see you. Then I'll let Qingniao replace me."

Su Le nodded, "Okay, you can go now."

The eagle shook his head, "No, I have to stay with you now. Protect you."

Su Le looked at him speechlessly, "My current state is the least dangerous. After I give birth, I will have weaknesses and that will be the most dangerous."

The Eagle was obviously persuaded. "Then I'll ask my superior for leave tomorrow. The Blue Bird will come over, and a new person will come too."

Su Le's cell phone rang. "Hello, Xiao Le, we are now studying the insulin you gave us. Once we reach a bottleneck, can you come over?" Old Huo's voice came over.

Before Su Le could say anything, Xiong Ying refused directly, "No, Commander, Su Le is pregnant. With twins, she can't go. She's six months pregnant now."

Mr. Huo was also silent. "I asked them to send you messages and call you. Please answer their questions."

Su Le nodded, "Okay, that's fine. But not at night, I need to sleep."

Mr. Huo nodded in agreement and hung up the phone.

Su Le looked at Xiong Ying, who turned his face away uncomfortably. "I'll apply to the higher-ups now and come back as soon as possible."

Su Le smiled and nodded. He remembered how serious Xiong Ying had been when he first arrived, but things had changed a lot now. Xiong Ying sent a special communication to his superiors, who approved it and quickly arranged for another person to come over.

Su Le was still a little unfamiliar and reserved, so Xiong Ying packed up and left that night. He wanted to go see that person.

Xiongying sat on the train with mixed feelings, feeling uneasy. What should he say when he saw her? How should he greet her?

Li Zichen came back from get off work, looked at Su Le's excited face, and asked, "Wife, what happened?"

Su Le came up to him with a smile and hugged him. Li Zichen bent down, avoiding Su Le's belly, picked her up like a princess, and sat her on the sofa. "Xiong Ying went back to confess his love. He should bring back that mysterious girl. I'm happy for him."

Li Zichen knew that Su Le treated Xiong Ying as a friend and treated him sincerely, but he still felt a little jealous and kissed her lips, "I'm really jealous."

Su Le quickly put her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "Hubby, I just treat him as a friend. They've been ordered to protect me for a long time and haven't been back to see me. They finally made up their minds, so I will definitely support them. There's no other feelings at all."

Li Zichen hugged her and looked at her gently, "I know. Wife, I don't doubt you. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

Su Le tilted his head and thought, "I want to eat cold noodles today."

Li Zichen choked. He didn't know how to make it. The mall should still be closed, and his sisters-in-law should be making it. "Okay, wait a minute. I'll go buy one for you."

Su Le nodded and let him go. Li Zichen stood up, walked out the door, and ran towards the Liangpi shop. "Sister-in-law, I want two Liangpi takeaways. One without the green onions."

Then Wang Lan gave him 18 cents and put it in the cash box on the front desk. Chen Qing and Wang Xiang started working on it and finished it quickly. They packed it in a box for him.

Li Zichen didn't have time to chat with them, so he just ran home with the box.

Put the cold noodles on the table and let Su Le eat. Su Le kissed Li Zichen and said, "My husband is so nice." She started to eat. It was delicious. She nodded while eating.

Li Zichen looked at her with a smile, thinking she was so easily satisfied, and started eating himself.

Su Le touched his full stomach and sat on the sofa. He felt a little bored and looked at Li Zichen who was cleaning the table. "Hubby, I'm so bored."

Li Zichen wiped the table and walked over to her side. "How about I tell you a story?"

Su Le refused, "No, I get sleepy when I tell stories. I want to play cards, mahjong."

Li Zichen looked at her and nodded, moved out a table, moved the coffee table, then walked out the door and found Xu Jiaojiao, Yao Cuifang, and Su Fugui.

The three of them played mahjong with Su Le, while the children were doing their homework at home, and they didn't care at all. The older ones could take care of the younger ones.

Su Le looked at Li Zichen with a smile in his eyes. Li Zichen was sitting next to Su Le. "Let's not play big, let's play two points." Yao Cuifang said to the few people.

Su Le and the other two nodded, knowing that Yao Cuifang didn't have much money. Li Zichen took out 10 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Yao Cuifang, "Mom, you can play."

Yao Cuifang didn't want it, but only accepted it after seeing Su Le nod. She had no income now, and she didn't have to worry about the food for her granddaughters. Now she had to cook lunch and dinner for her four grandchildren herself, and her daughters-in-law also gave her money. She still had to pay for her own food.
