"Um..."
Fang Yan gritted her teeth and said, "If you agree, then I'm discussing this with you."
The implication is that if you disagree, then I will make the decision unilaterally.
Is this even possible?
Clearly, Zhang Jizhou understood her implication. He paused for half a second, then chuckled in exasperation, "Have you always been this... mischievous?"
Before saying "mischievous," he thought for a while before uttering the words in a somewhat uncertain tone.
His life was monotonous and dull; he spent every day either on the training field training his team members' physical fitness or in the office developing training plans, exercise plans, and combat plans.
He rarely used such words, and when he met Fang Yan, who was so lively, he didn't know what words to use to describe her.
“That’s called individuality,” Fang Yan corrected.
Where is she mischievous?
Making money is the only truth; only when her wallet is bulging can she feel secure enough.
personality?
Zhang Jizhou made a note of it, then asked her, "Do you really have to earn this money? I'll give you all my allowances from now on, isn't that enough?"
After thinking for a moment and looking around to make sure no one was there, he added quietly, "Maybe I'll get promoted soon, and then the allowance will increase again, enough for us to live on."
A life slightly better than meager meals is certainly enough with Zhang Jizhou's allowance.
However, as a food blogger, Fang Yan has tasted all kinds of delicious food.
One can only truly appreciate the flavor of something after tasting its marrow.
Knowing that there are so many delicious foods in the world, she definitely wants to treat herself better.
Zhang Jizhou's meager allowance is definitely not enough for her to eat.
Furthermore, everyone wants a better life.
A better life is built entirely on money; how can you do that without making money?
"Cough cough cough..." Fang Yan coughed twice. "You probably don't know, but I'm quite good at spending money. If I really spent it according to my wishes, your allowance would definitely not be enough to live on."
Of course, I'm also flexible. If I'm really too poor to earn money, she can drink only salted porridge for every meal.
Zhang Jizhou: ...
"How much money will your business make before the Lunar New Year?"
Zhang Jizhou thought to himself that at most he would try to take on a few more tasks and earn more bonuses to make up for the money he owed her.
Fang Yan roughly calculated in her mind all the orders from Wei Jiahong, the old men, and other customers.
Just before she spoke, the image of the man who had been behaving strangely today suddenly popped into her mind, and she had a vague guess about him.
So, when it came to the export figures, she doubled them again, saying, "It might be more than your allowance for two years."
"Don't you sell braised food?"
Zhang Jizhou was very surprised, "Braised pig's head and pig intestines, can they sell so well?"
Fang Yan: ...
So, this scoundrel is doubting the truthfulness of her words?
To be honest, Fang Yan's figure was rather conservative.
Wei Jiahong is the county's top official. Once his network of connections is activated, all departments in the county will receive pork jerky as a New Year's gift.
This single order alone will generate a very substantial income.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she made a small profit from the mooncakes and other items ordered by the five old men.
I heard that they're going to order even more pork jerky for the Lunar New Year to give as gifts; the combined social networks of the five of them shouldn't be underestimated.
Furthermore, after she has decided on the brand name and packaging, Fang Yan plans to start promoting her pork jerky at her stall.
I believe her fans will also be very supportive.
The one from this afternoon...
Well, even without the man from this afternoon, with the current orders and the income from her braised food stall, Fang Yan felt she should be able to earn two or three thousand yuan this Chinese New Year.
Zhang Jizhou's allowance is less than one hundred yuan a month.
This year, she earned more than two years' worth of his allowance.
"Yes, you don't believe I could make so much money in such a short time?"
No matter how straight Zhang Jizhou is, he's still intelligent enough. Even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to nod in agreement.
"No, it's just... this is the first time I've heard that making money can be so easy, it's a bit... unimaginable."
His will to survive is still very strong.
Fang Yan snorted and reluctantly let him go, saying, "Let's leave it at that."
I'll be magnanimous and not hold it against you.
Zhang Jizhou: ...
So, what exactly did he do wrong?
Fortunately, his high emotional and intellectual intelligence allowed him to hold back and not ask the question aloud.
Then Fang Yan said in a tone of "making a decision on her own", "How about this, I'll come to your place as early as the fifth or sixth day of the Lunar New Year. You can get the house ready first, and buy everything that needs to be bought. Once we get there, we can go straight in."
Since we're staying here for the New Year, we still need to visit and reciprocate the social obligations we have.
For example, visiting one's maternal grandparents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
For example, Grandpa Wei and Captain Liu still need to pay their respects during the New Year.
After all, who knows when I'll be back next time?
As she finished speaking, Fang Yan suddenly remembered that the author had given the male protagonist a "straight male aesthetic."
Asking a man with a "straight male" aesthetic to decorate his home?
Just imagine, the walls of my house will be covered with red and green flower stickers...
Fang Yan silently wiped away her sweat, then quickly changed her mind, "Never mind, just use some whitewash to clean the walls of the house."
The thought of her living in a room with four walls covered in red and green stickers makes me feel uncomfortable all over.
"You doubt my ability to furnish the house properly?"
Feeling rejected, Zhang Jizhou frowned and asked unhappily.
Fang Yan chuckled, "Why would I doubt your abilities? I'm just worried that you'll be too busy and won't be able to handle everything."
"After all, you're the team leader, so you must have a lot to do, right? Let's leave the house arrangement for now and do it when I get there."
"Please furnish the room with a bed, wardrobe, table, and chairs."
Oh, I just remembered. Let me add, "You don't need to send me your allowance for the next two months. Use it to buy these things."
According to the author's quirky writing style, Zhang Jizhou probably hasn't saved much money over the years.
Purchasing these large items costs a lot of money.
Fearing he would dwell on this issue, Fang Yan quickly changed the subject, "The second thing I want to talk about is that I think I found out that your mother died of a very serious illness."
Zhang Jizhou's attention was immediately drawn to this, "What's going on?"
Fang Yan recounted what she had encountered in the corps, and how she discussed the matter with Zhang Zongde, Aunt De, and the village chief after returning home.
He briefly explained the attitudes of the others to Zhang Jizhou.
Then the conversation took a turn...
