How do I pursue a girl? Ji Xiangjun has never done it before and is at a loss for what to do.
However, he suddenly thought of Chen Jing. That guy Chen Jing was so smooth-talking that he had his sister completely under his thumb.
Or, I could ask him for advice when I go with him to deliver goods tomorrow.
Having made up his mind, Ji Xiangjun confidently told his parents, "Don't worry, I will have a girlfriend. She doesn't want to be an educated youth. I'll bring her back to meet you in two months, and try to get married before the Chinese New Year."
"Really? You have a boyfriend? I've never heard you mention it before. Where are you from? When did you meet?"
Upon hearing that he had a boyfriend, Ji's mother became so excited that she became incoherent and kept asking questions, leaving Ji Xiangjun speechless.
After a long pause, he shook his head helplessly: "Mother, you're asking so many questions, which one should I answer right away?"
"Don't worry, that girl was introduced to me by Xia. We've known each other for a month or two. She's about the same age as me, very capable, and works in the city."
"Working in the city? You have a job? That's good, not bad at all."
The two elders were even more pleased to hear this, completely unaware that their son had not yet caught up with the woman.
Ji Xiangjun stayed at home for one night and then left. Early the next morning, he drove his small truck to the workshop and loaded the goods for the two orders with Chen Jing.
Sun Xiaoyu handed the completed receipt to Ji Xiangjun.
Ji Xiangjun looked at the outstretched hand; the wrist was slender and fair, like a tender lotus root.
He didn't feel anything when he saw Sun Xiaoyu yesterday.
But having made up his mind last night, Ji Xiangjun suddenly felt his heart beating incredibly fast when he looked at Sun Xiaoyu again, as if it were about to jump out of his chest.
Staring blankly at the delivery slip for a long time, Sun Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Brother Ji, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"No, no, I'm fine."
Sun Xiaoyu's clear voice interrupted his reverie. Ji Xiangjun blushed and quickly reached out to take it.
He accidentally touched Sun Xiaoyu's fingertip, and he felt as if an electric current had shocked him, a tingling and numb sensation that was hard to describe.
Startled, he pulled his hand back, grabbed the delivery slip, and nodded to her expressionlessly: "Let's go!"
"Goodbye, Brother Ji; goodbye, Comrade Chen."
Sun Xiaoyu smiled, waved, and turned back to the workshop.
Ji Xiangjun suddenly turned around and stared intently at Chen Jing, who had climbed into the passenger seat, startling Chen Jing.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?" Chen Jing subconsciously sat a little further away, his mind racing, trying to figure out what he had done to offend him.
Ji Xiangjun shook his head with a straight face: "It's nothing."
After driving his small truck onto the national highway, he turned around and asked, "Just now, Team Leader Sun called me Brother Ji, but you Comrade Chen? Does she have something on my mind?"
Chen Jing almost spat out the water he had just drunk.
Turning back to meet Ji Xiangjun's murderous gaze, he immediately swallowed his mocking words.
Just kidding, this is the second brother-in-law, and the most powerful second brother-in-law at that.
Chen Jing chuckled: "Second Brother, what are you thinking? You wouldn't have taken a fancy to Sun Xiaoyu, would you?"
A rare, slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Ji Xiangjun's face as he nodded slightly: "That's the idea."
"You even admitted it?" Chen Jing chuckled and quickly began to flatter him: "Really? That's wonderful."
Ji Xiangjun glanced at him indifferently: "Do you think she would be interested in me?"
"Why wouldn't she like you? Second brother, you're good-looking, handsome and imposing, capable, and good at making money. You also come from a good family. How many men like you, one in a million, can the commune find? As long as you confess your feelings to her, she'll definitely like you."
Chen Jing praised him highly, and Ji Xiangjun thought about it and felt more confident in himself, with a slight smile on his lips.
"So, does that mean I have to confess my feelings to her first?"
"Of course, do you expect her to confess to you? You're a man, how can you let a woman ask you these questions?"
"What you say makes sense. So tell me, what should I do?"
"I delivered the gift today. Go to the department store to pick out a gift. Also, sometime you can go to a movie, have dinner, or go out for fun—"
After passing on many of his secrets to Ji Xiangjun, Chen Jing suddenly thought, "Our small workshop seems to have been working every day since the beginning, without a single day off, right? Do you think we should tell them to take half a day or a full day off every few days?"
Ji Xiangjun nodded: "Yes, we should rest. No one can stand working every day without rest."
With Chen Jing's guidance, Ji Xiangjun's mind immediately started working, and all he could think about was what gift to pick out at the department store later.
More than an hour later, the small truck stopped at the department store's receiving department.
The receiving department still had the same warehouse manager. Upon seeing Chen Jing, he immediately instructed two of his subordinates to receive, count, and inspect the goods.
Chen Jing was suspicious. The previous two deliveries hadn't been quality checked, had they? What was going on?
He still handed over a pack of cigarettes, but the warehouse manager waved his hand. Chen Jing stuffed the cigarette into his pocket, then gave him a cigarette and lit it for him.
He flicked the cigarette between two fingers, then glanced at Ji Xiangjun behind Chen Jing: "What? Training a newbie? Is this the one who's going to take over from you?"
"No, he's my boss. He came with me today to take a look."
Chen Jing introduced Ji Xiangjun to the warehouse manager: "Brother Ji, this is our department head, and this Brother Liu is in charge of the warehouse."
Ji Xiangjun shook hands with the warehouse manager and asked about the receiving process: "Do we have to wait until they finish clearing and inspecting the goods? How long will that take?"
"This order contains over a thousand items, and we'll be sampling at least thirty or forty of them. It'll probably take an hour or two to check."
After the warehouse manager finished speaking, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you offended Old Hu?"
Chen Jing was surprised. He had delivered goods twice before, and it wasn't this complicated. He had just counted the total quantity and signed for it.
Hearing this, she quickly shook her head: "No, last time I came over, I even had lunch with him. How could I have offended him?"
"Didn't offend him? He specifically told me to do random checks after receiving the goods and only sign for them if the quality was guaranteed. I thought you two had fallen out."
Chen Jing frowned. Just because she didn't agree to his matchmaking last time? She got several of his wedding dress design sketches for free, flattered Su Yujing, and not only did she not place an order, she even made things difficult for him when receiving the goods?
No, he should let Su Yujing know about this. He can't give this favor to that guy surnamed Hu for nothing.
Thinking of this, he turned to Ji Xiangjun and said, "Second Brother, you stay here and wait for them to receive the goods. I'll go out and find someone."
"Who should we contact? How long will it take?"
Ji Xiangjun was still planning to pick out a gift at the department store, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but frown.
Chen Jing said, "We need to find Miss Su. She wrote a letter to A Xia, asking us to come into the city to find her."
Ji Xiangjun nodded in agreement, and Chen Jing then smiled at the warehouse manager and said, "Brother Liu, leave this to my boss. I have something to do and I'm leaving now."
Warehouse Manager Liu hesitated for a moment: "What if Old Hu comes looking for you later?"
Chen Jing smiled faintly: "If he asks, just say I need to see Miss Su. He knows her and won't blame me."
