The meal was very lavish. Su Ning helped cook two dishes in the middle. When Ms. Ma saw Su Ning, she felt it was a pity. What a good daughter-in-law candidate she was. Her son really had no taste.
An hour later, all the dishes were served. Bai Weiwei had tasted Su Ning's cooking before, and she still remembered the taste.
Ms. Ma intended to matchmake Su Tian and Bai Yi. When they sat down, she deliberately arranged for them to sit together. Su Ning felt that this scene was very familiar, and she couldn't help but smile.
Bai Yi happened to catch this scene. He quickly looked away and focused on eating. Bai Weiwei knew that the braised eggplant and stir-fried green beans on the table were made by Su Ning. She kept adding food to her bowl.
Bai Yi also noticed the two dishes. His mother couldn't make them, so they must have been made by Su Ning. Bai Yi picked up a piece of eggplant and put it in his mouth. It was so delicious that he could swallow his tongue.
Then he picked up the green beans from another plate. Hmm, they tasted so much better than his mother's. No wonder his sister only ate those two dishes.
Ms. Ma was provoked. She thought her children must have done it on purpose. Was her cooking really that bad? Or was Su Ning's cooking better?
After dinner, Ms. Ma urged her son to take Su Tian downstairs for a walk. Bai Yi didn't want to go, but Su Tian understood what Ms. Ma meant, so she smiled and said yes.
"Auntie! Thank you for your hospitality today. May I bring my boyfriend next time?"
Su Tian's words were like a muffled thunderclap, stunning everyone in the room except Bai Yi, who breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Ning asked with a smile, "Sis, you really have a boyfriend? Who is it? Do we know each other?"
Ms. Ma felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her; her heart sank. She had thought her son would find a girlfriend today, but it turned out that all the good girls already had boyfriends.
Su Tian hadn't accepted their director's advances yet, but seeing how enthusiastic Ms. Ma was, she made her decision.
Anyway, she doesn't like Bai Yi. What's the use of being a good person? He's just a straight man, and there must be a reason why he's almost thirty and still single.
Su Tian replied with a smile, "You don't know him? He's the chief planner of our supermarket. Let's have dinner together sometime."
Su Ning was happy for Su Tian. The fact that Su Tian could accept someone else meant that she had given up on Zhu Zhou. Su Ning was the one who most wanted Su Tian to find happiness.
After dinner, they played at the Bai family's house for a while. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Ning and Su Tian were about to leave, and Bai Yi offered to see them off. In the end, he couldn't refuse and had to agree.
Bai Yi first dropped Su Tian off at the staff dormitory building, and then drove to take Su Ning there. The car was quiet, and neither of them spoke. Bai Yi would occasionally glance at Su Ning in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The car drove all the way to the apartment building. Su Ning got out of the car and waved goodbye. Bai Yi watched Su Ning go upstairs before driving away.
After leaving the residential area, Bai Yi parked his car on the side of the road. Having rarely smoked, he pulled out a cigarette from somewhere and lit it.
The smoke obscured his expression. Bai Yi looked at the various people on the roadside, thinking that some opportunities, once missed, are gone forever.
When Su Ning returned home, He Ci called, saying that the delivery of their goods in the US went smoothly and the quality was excellent, so they received another order worth 100,000.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Su Ning's gentle voice reached He Ci's ears, making him feel both soothed and numb.
"Honey, I went to Weiwei's house for dinner today. You called as soon as I got home."
"How's everything going on your end? When are you coming back?"
He Ci thought of his beloved wife at home and wished he could go back right now.
"We're going back the day after tomorrow. The other party is very satisfied with the connecting cables produced by our company. Now we've received another large order, and we've also signed contracts with two smaller companies."
Su Ning was very happy to be able to make money, and even her voice was filled with joy.
“My husband is amazing. With you here, everyone in our village has food to eat. Mom said that many people are even asking her to work for us!”
He Ci's initial intention in opening this factory was not really to make money. He just felt that the people there were too poor and their labor was cheap. They had nowhere to work except toil in the fields.
He handed the factory over to Su Lei, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law to be so attentive. Moreover, this batch of goods earned more than two million yuan, which made Su Lei extremely happy.
Having seen a lot of money, He Ci and Zhu Zhou didn't care about this small amount. Su Lei was overjoyed to have earned so much money for the first time.
The young couple lingered on the phone for a while longer before reluctantly hanging up. He Ci said that he and his older brother Su Lei had come here to introduce Zhu Zhou to their parents.
