"But I... am divorced."
Fu Wan lowered her eyes. Bai Qianzhou's words were both right and wrong. She had long passed the point of disregarding everything else for the sake of liking someone.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qianzhou sighed upon hearing this.
Why would you think I would mind this?
Fu Wan, I told you long ago, those bad days are long gone.
If you've forgotten, I'll say it again today.
His gaze toward Fu Wan was full of solemnity.
“I don’t mind these things. If I had to say what I mind, it would be that my work would prevent me from having more time to spend with you.”
“Moreover,” Bai Qianzhou paused, his gaze towards her carrying a hint of enigmatic allure.
"You'll get tired sometimes. Don't you want a shoulder to lean on when you're tired?"
After saying this, Bai Qianzhou felt a little annoyed. His colleagues had taught him to say these words, but now that he said them, they sounded greasy.
Fu Wan looked Bai Qianzhou up and down; the man before her was undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.
It was cold today, so he wore a military green jacket over a white shirt. The white and green colors made him look even more handsome.
Bai Qianzhou had been working at the camp for more than half a year, and after training with those soldiers for so long, Fu Wan could even see the clearly defined collarbone through his collar...
Shoulders with such visibly tense muscles do seem like a good place to lean on.
!!
Fu Wan's face flushed red as she realized what she was looking at. Damn it, where did she look?!
Seeing her like this, Bai Qianzhou wondered if there was something wrong with what he had said.
"Ah Wan, have you...have you changed your mind?"
"Huh? What idea?"
Fu Wan subconsciously asked back, and Bai Qianzhou, sensing her interest, quickly pressed his advantage.
"Never mind any other ideas, cough cough, Comrade Fu Wan, I'm applying to join your future life and never leave. Can you approve that?"
This question was very formal, and Fu Wan was taken aback. After a while, she heard her own reply.
"Approved...approved."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qianzhou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized with surprise that Fu Wan had actually agreed.
Happiness came too suddenly.
Bai Qianzhou pounded the steering wheel with joy, then hurriedly patted his body, only to remember that his savings account and other belongings were at the camp.
In this era, tokens of love were highly valued. Fu Wan hadn't thought of this yet when Bai Qianzhou suddenly remembered something and hurriedly rummaged through his bag to find a box, which he then handed to Fu Wan.
"What's this?"
Fu Wan was a little confused, and Bai Qianzhou gestured for her to open it.
"It's a watch. I noticed your watch was a bit inconvenient when we last met, so I specially asked someone to buy this for me."
See if you like it.
Seeing that the box was ordinary, Fu Wan opened it without thinking much about it. But when she saw what the watch looked like inside, her pupils dilated in shock.
Rolex?
"Bai Qianzhou, you've struck it rich?"
Bai Qianzhou smiled and shook his head sheepishly.
"Haha, what fortune? This is something I had someone bring back from the port city. It can be worn to dive to a depth of 300 meters. I think it's perfect for you."
It's waterproof?
It can even dive to a depth of 300 meters!
This gift really touched Fu Wan's heart, but can you find a Rolex that's cheap?
"How much did this cost?"
Not many.
Bai Qianzhou would never admit that he sold a small house in the capital to buy such a watch.
As he personally put the watch on Fu Wan's wrist, he felt that everything had been worthwhile.
Well, Bai Qianzhou was happy, but Fu Wan was conflicted.
What kind of return gift should I give?
While Fu Wan was still troubled, Bai Qianzhou had already driven the car to the food factory.
Fu Wan came to the food factory today to check on the progress of the products. When she heard that Bai Qianzhou had to go out on business, she simply asked him to drive the car away.
Bai Qianzhou was worried that driving away would affect Fu Wan's work, but Fu Wan had arranged to pick him up at noon.
Now Bai Qianzhou was no longer conflicted. He could pick up Fu Wan at noon and they could go out for lunch together. That's how people go on dates.
Bai Qianzhou's face and heart were filled with joy, a state no less than the excitement he felt when he returned to China after completing his studies.
Fu Wan was in a good mood. After watching him leave, she turned around and went up to the office building with a smile.
As soon as I went upstairs, I ran into Zhang Xiaoqing, who was about to leave.
"Hey, factory manager, you've finally arrived!"
Today, Zhang Xiaoqing wore a polyester shirt with a dark blue cardigan over it, dark straight-leg pants, and mid-heeled leather shoes.
In addition, he was also carrying a briefcase.
"Sister Zhang, are you going out?"
Zhang Xiaoqing nodded, looking very confident and spirited.
"I was just about to go to Fujia Village to find you, factory manager. Our factory has produced quite a few products, and I've already done market research."
Currently, all the supply and marketing cooperatives and Friendship Stores in Longhai City are willing to order our products and have signed contracts.
I want to tell you that it's time to get the workers into mass production!
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan instantly regained her senses.
"How many varieties have you produced? Quick, bring the products over here so I can take a look!"
Zhang Xiaoqing responded and immediately opened the briefcase in her hand.
This is full of samples she plans to send to Fujia Village, including dried fish, dried shrimp, crab legs, squid tentacles, and fish cakes made directly from eel meat, among other things.
Fu Wan glanced at the packaging; it was a very ordinary small bag with a red five-pointed star printed on it, just like the one from the Five Star Canned Food Factory.
The only difference is that the words "cannery" at the bottom have been changed to "food factory".
She picked up a bag of squid tentacles at random. Squid, if not prepared properly, is fishy, tough, and very unpalatable.
But as soon as the packaging was opened, a spicy aroma wafted out, mixed with the unique fragrance of squid.
Fu Wan swallowed hard, then took a bite of the squid tentacles in her hand.
As soon as she tasted the squid, she could tell that the factory was indeed using high-quality squid.
"How about it?"
Zhang Xiaoqing looked at Fu Wan with anticipation, and Fu Wan gave her a thumbs up.
"Great, spicy and crispy. Sister Zhang, how much are these squid tentacles?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqing quickly pulled out another piece of white paper from her bag, on which she wrote down the price she and the others had agreed upon.
"The cost of squid is not low, and we also have to add our labor costs and R&D costs."
We set the price of squid tentacles at 2.8 yuan per jin, eel cakes at 3.5 yuan per jin; dried shrimp at 3.2 yuan per jin…
Fu Wan took a closer look at the prices on the notebook, and to be honest, they did look expensive.
But seafood is not exactly cheap.
Especially for items like eel cakes and dried shrimp, the cost increases significantly after compression and dehydration.
"Let's go with this price for now. Wholesale is fine, but retail will cost at least one yuan more per kilogram."
Zhang Xiaoqing nodded, her eyes shining.
"Should I go and notify the workshop to start production now?"
"Sure, do you have any that have already been produced? Pack me a little of each kind, I'll take them back and give them away."
She was originally thinking of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for her trip to Qingshan Village tomorrow, but now that's great, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore!
