Jiang Xue was drawing patterns for the hotel's custom-made clothing when Ji Chen brought the two cooked dishes to the table.
"Dinner's ready."
Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly said that, realizing that she had been overthinking things.
Shao Heng lay on the table and exclaimed, "Wow, there are scrambled eggs today!"
Jiang Xuejian stir-fried golden green peppers and eggs, and made pancakes. Completely disregarding her image, she picked up a pancake, rolled it up like Aunt Wang, and started eating.
"Would you be able to find such delicious food if you moved out?" Ji Chen didn't even look up, his tone still cold.
Jiang Xue forced a smile and said awkwardly, "It's not like you cook for me every day."
"Why not?"
"Cough cough..." Jiang Xue coughed violently a few times because of Ji Chen's words. Why did it sound like he was joking?
"No need, no need. I'll move out once this batch of goods is finished. You can reduce the childcare fee by fifty yuan next month, just consider it as my rent."
Ji Chen barely ate two bites before slamming down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Whatever." He was a person who cared a lot about his reputation, and it seemed that he really couldn't bring himself to say nice things so readily.
"I have something to do and should be back in the middle of the night. You guys go to sleep after you're done." Ji Chen finished cleaning up his dishes and hurriedly rode his bike to head back to the city.
He hasn't been idle lately either. Ever since he took on that job at the school, it's like his Ren and Du meridians have been opened up.
Recently, I even took on a job at a health center in a surrounding town. As conditions improve, these infrastructure facilities need to be upgraded as well.
Moreover, this time, he didn't just take on a single carpentry job; he took on the whole package, including design drawings, construction, surveying, carpentry, and masonry.
Whether it was youthful arrogance or not, Ji Chen was certain that this kind of thing could definitely make money.
Previously, these were mostly contracted out by state-owned enterprises, but now many things are moving towards privatization, and the clients are more willing to outsource these tasks to private contractors.
There was little work involved, the construction period was short, and most importantly, Ji Chen's uncle, Liu Zhenguo, was the director of the township health center.
With the help of his relatives, he was only thinking about setting up his own construction team as soon as possible.
However, no matter how busy he was, he would set aside his duties to help Jiang Xue with her request.
Under the moonlight, he rode his bicycle alone on the country road, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe. He couldn't understand why he felt that Jiang Xue was now his kindred spirit, and why her personality was so different.
The woman who used to throw tantrums all day long is now able to secure orders from big hotels and even design plans. He even suspects that the current Jiang Xue is not the same Jiang Xue as before.
After putting her two children to sleep, Jiang Xue got up and started making sample garments.
Making clothes isn't something you can simply do by hiring a few middle-aged women.
She pondered with a worried expression, wondering whether she should ask Master Leng for help. If she wanted to find workers in the city, she would not only have to provide her own machines, but also free up space.
Although you can still make money, it's nowhere near as profitable as staying in the countryside and using local resources.
Moreover, this is a mutually beneficial thing. It's not the busy farming season now, and everyone is idle at home. If you can earn five yuan a day by staying at home, it's really better than doing anything else.
She was considering whether to meet Master Leng tomorrow. Although they had met a few times, she could tell at a glance that he was a cunning and calculating person, and probably not someone to talk to.
Moreover, his wages are not low. He usually only earns seven yuan, but if he is rushing to meet a deadline, he will probably earn at least ten yuan a day.
