Chapter 5: Old Lover



Fortunately, the seller on the other side was very patient. She replied almost instantly to Chen Fei's messages, which averaged one per minute.

Chen Fei: Hello, it will take us about ten days to prepare the stock of 200 pieces. I wonder if you can wait...

"Dad, I'm wrong!"

Xiao Chenchen hurriedly grabbed Chen Fei's finger as he pressed the enter key.

"Should I say, dear..."

"relative?"

Chen Fei looked at his son with a strange expression. What kind of name was that? He might even think he was frivolous.

Chen Chen muttered to himself, "Heh heh... If the person across from you is a beautiful woman, maybe you can win her heart, and then the happiness of the rest of your life will come, right?"

Hearing this, Fade Chen raised his hand and almost wanted to hit Chen Chen on the head.

Chen Fei grabbed her hair and reluctantly gave her a kiss.

"Hit two."

"Kiss?"

Fade Chen roared helplessly, feeling like he was about to vomit.

Buyer Hua Kai Fugui: Ten days is a bit long. If it can be done in five days, I will place the order now and make it according to my pattern.

The computer dinged and the other party sent a slightly blurry selfie, saying that they were looking at the layout, but in fact, the other person's big face occupied two-thirds of the entire photo.

"Is this the beauty you were talking about? ? "

Chen Fei also shouted in his heart: This is simply a moldy girl!

Chen Chen looked at the photo of the middle-aged woman with heavy makeup on the computer, and indeed felt a little guilty towards his father.

However, adhering to the principle that the customer is God, Chen Fei still organized some words of praise in his mind. Not to mention that this was a big customer!

Chen Fei: Your beauty is like a fairy from heaven... the morning glory by the roadside...

[Hey, hey, hey, hey, does my dad ever praise people like you? You'll make them run away!]

Chen Fei's mind went dark, and he consciously deleted all the words in the box.

After thinking hard, Chen Chen said, "Why don't you think about how those beauty magazines you read praise people for their beauty?"

Fade Chen was so shocked that he stuttered a little, "Nonsense, nonsense! I don't read any beauty magazines!"

Chen Fei coughed dryly and felt guilty.

[Why are you pretending? We're all men. Don't think I don't know there are several bundles hidden under the bed!]

Chen Chen's inner thoughts frightened Chen Fei. How come this guy knew everything? Could it be that he...

"Dad, what are you daydreaming about? Think carefully about how to compliment someone and don't keep them waiting."

Only then did Chen Fei think seriously about it. After all, this was serious business.

"You are truly charming, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a graceful figure. The spring breeze is like a willow-shaped waist. Seeing you is like seeing the gentle spring breeze slowly approaching me..."

After typing these words, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Chen Fei's forehead. This money is really not easy to earn!

I only heard a series of laughter from the other side, and the deadline was extended to seven days.

[If your dad really existed, Big Dinosaur would be willing to marry him.]

At this moment, Fade Chen just wanted his son to shut up.

After this deal was concluded, several more deals were completed in the second half of the night, and the father and son did not go to bed until four or five in the morning.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning fell on this ordinary residential building in Qianlong City, Chen Fei was also awakened by the alarm clock.

He jumped out of bed immediately, turned on his computer without even putting on his shoes, and opened Taobao.com, and the notification sounded several times.

There were more than ten messages in a row, all asking about discounts, stock, and styles.

It was really a headache. Chen Fei remembered that he still had to find a factory, ship goods, and deal with so much information today. He wished he could pluck a few hairs and create a few clones.

After the evening training, Chen Fei was no longer as slow in processing messages as he had been the first time. He discovered that e-commerce was actually similar to brick-and-mortar business, just in a different format.

After making arrangements for handling the news, he also took the time to make a bowl of egg noodles for Chen Chen.

Then Chen Fei went out. His first task today was to find a processing factory; then he had to go to the job market to recruit a typist, otherwise there would be no one to help him when Chen Chen went to school.

He sold 200 pieces of clothing for an average of 10 yuan each, earning only 2 yuan in profit. Initially, just to attract customers, he had to find a clothing factory willing to make them for 3 yuan each, excluding logistics and packaging costs.

There is no need to think about those big factories. It is autumn now, the time when cold and hot weather change. They are all very busy and have no time to take small orders like mine.

The construction period of a small factory is long. If we fail to finish the work in time, it will ruin the reputation of our newly opened online store.

After thinking about it, Fade Chen thought of someone.

In the alley on a weekend morning, there were elderly people rushing to buy groceries, and young people riding bicycles to work. But Chen Fei leaned against a telephone pole, waiting for the woman upstairs to come out to the balcony to brush her teeth.

That was my old lover before I started a family. He came from a wealthy family. Although he fell into poverty later, at least he had a good job in a state-owned enterprise.

Chen Fei used to visit her often. He knew that she had a very regular life and would always appear on the balcony brushing her teeth at eight o'clock every morning.

Looking at the watch, it was only half past seven. Fade Chen realized that he was early.

I simply lit a cigarette and squatted on a stone pier to wait.

But just as he lit the fire, he heard someone calling his name behind him.

"Fade Chen? Is it really you?!"

The other party looked surprised and happy, holding a bag of steamed buns and salted vegetables.

Chen Fei quickly stuffed the cigarette into his pocket and rubbed his hands. His heartbeat began to quicken, and his face felt a little hot.

He didn't dare to look the other person in the eye. Mixed emotions filled his heart, and the words he had repeated countless times in his mind were now completely forgotten.

"Hey, don't just stand there. Come on in and talk!"

Fade Chen found that she was still as cheerful as ever, while he himself was a little shy and didn't act like a man at all.

"Is your husband not home?"

Fade Chen asked tentatively, looking at the walls covered with children's drawing posters, it seemed like this must be a happy family.

She put the steamed buns she bought on the table and straightened her goose yellow skirt. Only then did Chen Fei see her behind him in the mirror.

She still had the same waist-length waterfall hair, with a simple pearl headband on top; under her white forehead were a pair of round almond-shaped eyes.

She leaned over and sniffed the milky aroma of the steamed bun with her handsome nose, then stretched out her slender white arm and handed Chen Fei a steamed bun. Her smiling face, which was as refreshing as spring breeze, made Chen Fei feel as if he had returned to his youth.

"Are you asking my husband? Oh...he, he went to work?"

It was somewhat unnatural to say this. Chen Fei broke free from his memories and felt that he should not have any more fantasies.

However, when Chen Fei was eating steamed buns, he suddenly heard a burst of dense footsteps upstairs, and then saw a dozen children running down the stairs. Only then did he realize that things were not as he thought.
