“Isn’t Hong’an a lighting manufacturer? It’s the biggest company in our city. If you go there to sell things, there will be foot traffic, but are you sure people will want your products?” Ji Chen analyzed the situation for Jiang Xue rationally and patiently.
Jiang Xue shook her head, feeling a sense of helplessness, as if she had the will but not the power.
"I don't know what they need either..." Jiang Xue had no choice but to tell Ji Chen the whole story. As the saying goes, three mediocre people can outwit one brilliant strategist.
Ji Chen saw that Jiang Xue had her head down, looking as if she had no confidence at all.
To be honest, Jiang Xue didn't know why. Maybe she had to remain calm and composed when she was outside, unyielding to wind and rain, but when she was with Ji Chen, she would always unconsciously reveal her little temper.
Ji Chen stepped forward and patted Jiang Xue on the shoulder, "Why don't you go and sell some warm shoes or socks or something?"
Jiang Xue suddenly understood. The weather was getting colder. In this era of working in factories, there was no air conditioning or heating. You had to wear as many layers as you wanted.
She could easily buy cotton fabric wholesale from the market, distribute it to the workers, and let them make a batch first. She and Gu Xiaoling would then sell it first, and then she could learn more about Hong An's internal details.
"You stay here with Shaomeng for a while. I'm going to the wholesale market to get some thicker fabric. Shaomeng will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so let's go back together. I need to check on how my stuff is going."
"You've arranged everything so perfectly for me, but I'm planning to go back tomorrow anyway." Ji Chen suddenly leaned closer to Jiang Xue. "Are you hungry? I'll go buy some food."
Jiang Xue was startled by the sudden gentleness and shuddered. She forced a smile and said, "I'm not hungry... I'm not hungry..."
Ji Chen glanced at Jiang Xue with annoyance, thinking that she was completely clueless about romance and not at all girlish.
In the book, he read that in such situations, the girl would lower her head shyly, so why did Jiang Xue's smile just now look uglier than a cry?
Jiang Xue thought it was such a waste of money to buy food for every meal. She had rented a house nearby, bought some groceries, and could have a decent meal. Instead, she was spending money and not getting anything of real quality.
"Why don't we take Shaomeng to stay at my place? We can cook some food ourselves. Does she need an IV drip tonight?" Jiang Xue was a little worried.
"I need to get an IV drip again tomorrow morning."
“Then how about we come again tomorrow? Look at Shaoheng and Shaomeng these past two days, their already tiny faces have gotten even smaller. Spending a dollar on groceries is not as good as spending that money on a pound of meat, which is only seven mao.”
Ji Chen stared wide-eyed at Jiang Xue, "How did you become so good at managing your finances?"
Jiang Xue smiled secretly, "Now that I don't have to live with you, I'll definitely live with you."
Ji Chen's previously bright face immediately darkened. "Oh."
After a long pause, he suddenly said, "Let's see what kind of good life you can live all by yourself."
"This is my business, it's none of your concern." Jiang Xue tidied Shao Meng's clothes and hugged Shao Meng tightly.
"Let's go." Jiang Xue urged Ji Chen anxiously. She still had to go to the wholesale market later, so she didn't have time to dawdle here.
Ji Chen's face darkened. "I'll carry you."
"You can't get cold, you have to be held tightly in my arms." Jiang Xue was very anxious.
"How do you know I can't hold you tight enough?" With that, Ji Chen stretched out his hands and pressed Jiang Xue directly into his arms.
