Stepping out of the bathhouse, Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take Gu Xiaoling and the money to find some good fabrics.
"This Mr. Xu is very generous, but he seems a bit frivolous," Gu Xiaoling couldn't help but remind Jiang Xue.
"I felt very uncomfortable with the way he looked at you, with that lecherous look in his eyes."
Jiang Xue wasn't stupid; how could she not understand that look in his eyes? "It's okay, we'll follow the proper contract. We're not going to drink with him or anything, nothing will happen."
"With President Xu being so generous, if we can secure this order, it will be even more profitable than taking on the factory uniform order from Hong'an headquarters."
Jiang Xue thought of the factory uniforms at Hong'an headquarters, so she quickly told the driver, "Go to the Hong'an factory."
She said to Gu Xiaoling with a little excitement, "We can't let any of them go. Expanding the factory depends on these two big orders."
Gu Xiaoling was quickly infected by Jiang Xue's emotions, and her doubts from before vanished instantly.
The sky was already quite dark.
Despite having been busy all day, Jiang Xue did not feel tired.
Back at the shop, seeing that Aunt Zhou hadn't taken the children home yet, I asked, "Why aren't you home yet?"
"Your Ji Chen asked me to pass on a message: he won't be going home tonight, saying he has something to do."
Jiang Xue sneered, "Oh, I see. You'd better take the child back quickly, the temperature will drop after dark."
Gu Xiaoling followed behind Jiang Xue, barely daring to breathe. "How about we squeeze in together tonight, sister, and go back to the factory when it gets light?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and said calmly, "It's okay. I still need to finish the sample first thing tomorrow morning, and I need to prepare the drawings when I get back tonight."
"You guys go back first, I'll walk back, it's not far, only about half an hour's walk."
Gu Xiaoling was still a little worried and asked, "Aren't you afraid to walk alone at night?"
Jiang Xue said calmly, "I'm not afraid at all."
"Alright, you guys hurry back and stop dawdling here. I can walk back quickly; I've always walked back before."
After persuading Gu Xiaoling and Aunt Zhou, Jiang Xue hurried home on her own.
"Jiang Xue?"
A very familiar male voice came through.
Jiang Xue turned around and saw that it was Sun Ze'an. He had one hand in his pocket and was carrying a briefcase.
"How did you end up here?" Jiang Xue asked curiously. The shop he managed was quite far from here, and she didn't know if the factory he mentioned was located in this area.
Sun Ze'an smiled gently and said, "It's a habit of turning this way when I'm done with my work, hoping to bump into you."
Sun Ze'an was telling the truth. Ever since he met Jiang Xue, he would make a special trip from here almost every day.
There aren't that many unexpected encounters; they're all the result of one party's careful planning and eager anticipation.
After sighing inwardly, Jiang Xue said somewhat embarrassedly, "Really, I've already explained everything to you, but you're making me feel quite awkward."
Sun Ze'an was mesmerized by Jiang Xue's gentle smile.
However, reason quickly brought him back from his burning gaze. "Don't overthink it. We're just like you said, like friends. I just wanted to talk to you about my new factory. I feel like you have a lot of ideas and a long-term vision, so I thought I'd come and ask you about it."
Seeing how highly Sun Ze'an regarded her, Jiang Xue smiled even more happily.
"You're really good at talking, and you have high emotional intelligence. You're a real gem!" Jiang Xue gave Sun Ze'an a thumbs up.
"How about I treat you to a late-night snack?"
“Great! Let’s talk about the factory together. I’m planning to expand production recently, and I even secured an order from Hong’an headquarters today,” Jiang Xue said excitedly.
