The Ye Beiping family had already finished breakfast.
Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin don't have much to do in Hangzhou now. They mainly stay at home or go out with Aunt Li to buy groceries.
However, they didn't plant any vegetables in front of the courtyard. Instead, they planted some flowers, or simple crops like scallions, ginger, and garlic, as Ye Beiping suggested.
Watching the three leave, Su Xinyi finally remembered to ask, "Beiping, is it true that Jiang Hai said last night that someone is competing with you?"
"Hmm." Ye Beiping nodded slightly, and seeing the worry on Su Xinyi's face, he comforted her, "It's nothing serious. I need to go out for a bit after Mom and the others come back. You just stay home and take good care of yourself so the baby can be born healthy. Don't worry about anything else."
He knew, of course, what Su Xinyi was worried about.
It's just that I haven't been in Hangzhou for very long. If I run into someone with connections, I'm likely to suffer a loss.
Just as Ye Beiping had thought, Su Xinyi pursed her lips and had no choice but to speak: "Well, what I'm trying to say is, if the other party really has some connections, we don't need to confront them head-on."
What she really meant was that she was already earning enough money and there was no need to talk about becoming a millionaire or anything like that.
Seeing his wife so worried, Ye Beiping couldn't help but worry that she might harm the baby.
“Okay, if we really run into a tough rock, we’ll quit and retire early,” he replied jokingly.
This made Su Xinyi both amused and annoyed.
She also knew that Ye Beiping was just trying to cheer her up and didn't want her to worry.
Since that was the case, she nodded obediently and stopped talking about it.
About an hour later.
Tao Qiuyan and the others are back.
From being reluctant to buy expensive vegetables in the past, to Ye Beiping's countless nagging, Ye Xiaoxin would always mention Tao Qiuyan whenever she went grocery shopping with him.
The main reason was to use Su Xinyi's pregnancy as an excuse to buy more.
Ye Beiping even gave Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin a thousand yuan, telling them not to be stingy when buying groceries.
Actually, Aunt Li had the money to buy groceries, but with Tao Qiuyan around, Aunt Li couldn't just buy meat and such every day as Ye Beiping suggested.
After several days of persuasion, Tao Qiuyan finally gave in to the situation.
Since my son can earn money, it's only right that my daughter-in-law eats well during her pregnancy, so I don't feel bad about spending that money anymore.
Seeing the group return, Ye Beiping put down his newspaper and stood up: "Mom, sister, I won't be home for lunch today. I'll eat out."
"Huh?" Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin were both surprised.
Ye Beiping, who hadn't left the house much in the past two weeks, suddenly said he was going out, leaving the mother and daughter completely taken aback.
For the past two weeks, even when I went out, it was just to accompany Su Xinyi for walks or something.
"Then...where are you going? Is Xinyi going? I bought a lot of groceries, and since none of you are coming back to eat, how are we supposed to finish them?"
“Xinyi isn’t going.” Ye Beiping shook his head and glanced towards the kitchen. “If we really can’t finish it, we can put it in the refrigerator. Don’t we have a refrigerator at home?”
As he spoke, he was in a hurry to leave.
After all, the place he was going to wasn't close. He had originally planned to leave in the morning, but after breakfast, his mother and sister went to buy groceries, and he was worried about leaving Su Xinyi alone at home.
Now that his mother has returned, Ye Beiping naturally has to get down to business.
Seeing Tao Qiuyan looking at Su Xinyi with a hesitant expression, he, as her son, still reported his itinerary.
"I'm going to Monkey and Fatty's place to do some serious business. It's inconvenient to bring Xinyi along. You guys can stay home with her. I'll be back tonight."
Upon hearing that she was going to see Hou Baolin and Wu Di, Tao Qiuyan didn't ask any further questions. She figured it must be business, and she wouldn't understand even if she asked.
"Then you'll be safe on the road."
"Um."
Ye Beiping responded softly and went out. Tao Qiuyan, Ye Xiaoxin, and Su Xinyi all walked to the door and watched his figure disappear around the corner.
All three women had some worries.
They had all heard about what happened last night.
If the matter were simple, Ye Beiping probably wouldn't need to go there in person. After all, he hadn't seemed this anxious in the past two weeks.
Actually, Ye Beiping went to see Hou Baolin and Wu Di not so much to check on the situation of his competitors, but mainly because he was worried about his two childhood friends and wanted to give them some guidance to help them develop as quickly as possible.
In a few days, people from Jiangnan Leather Factory and No. 1 Leather Shoe Factory in Wencheng will probably be coming over, so we still need to do a good job of making appearances.
Sending them to see Tang Xiaolong's arrangements in the neighboring city would definitely not give them enough time.
Then we can only wait and see what Hangzhou's arrangements are. Since we're going to wait and see, we should make sure to put on a grand show.
It took Ye Beiping nearly an hour to travel from his home to the district managed by Hou Baolin.
Hou Baolin is now renting a house here, but he wastes two hours commuting every day, so he simply rented a house on his own.
The saying goes, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your child."
When Ye Beiping arrived at the market, he happened to hear that familiar advertising slogan: Wencheng Jiangnan Leather Factory...
Moreover, this advertising slogan wasn't just heard from one place; it appeared at one end of the street and another at the other.
The reason he was able to find the market so quickly was because during the week-long training, it was specifically mentioned that the market is the most crowded place and the easiest place to start.
At noon and in the afternoon, it's the state-owned factory area.
But now, with one end of the street and the other end, Ye Beiping frowned deeply.
