Chapter 57 He doesn't understand her little quirks?
"Hey!" Liu Nian lifted her leg and hooked it around Su Xu's chin. "What are you thinking about, young man?"
Su Xu's gaze drifted, and he licked his lips.
The woman was very charming, lying on her back on the bed in a languid posture, just like a kitten.
Su Xu immediately closed his eyes, gripped Liu Nian's ankle, and rubbed his thumb against it, while silently reciting a calming mantra in his mind.
His wife was going through a difficult pregnancy, and he was still thinking about those things. He shouldn't have! Su Xu cursed himself in his heart.
But which man could remain unmoved when he sees the woman he loves?
Su Xu opened his eyes, sighed, and got up.
As I walked into the main room, a basin of cold water was poured over my head.
Liu Nian chuckled to herself, "Wow, she seems to be quite charming!"
When Su Xu turned around, he didn't dare to look at Liu Nian. He looked aggrieved and truly regretted making that oath at the hospital!
"Tsk tsk, you're always so indecent," Liu Nian teased him, her eyes lingering on the man's muscular chest.
Su Xu's face turned even redder, and the tips of her ears were so red they looked like they were dripping blood.
Liu Nian immediately felt refreshed; seeing the rough man blush was her greatest pleasure!
As long as she's happy.
Su Xu smiled. Didn't he know Liu Nian's little quirk? He was just putting on an act to please her.
The two exchanged a glance; Liu Nian raised an eyebrow provocatively, while Su Xu lowered his head, feigning shyness.
At that moment, there was a loud banging on the door.
Is Comrade Liu home?
The voice didn't sound like one of the villagers; it was soft and polite.
Su Xu quickly put on his clothes and hurriedly went to open the door.
Before anyone else entered the house, Liu Nian tidied her clothes and got off the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Hello, I'm so sorry to bother you." The person who entered was a girl, wearing glasses, and very polite, but she smelled of disinfectant.
"They must have come from the hospital," Liu Nian immediately knew what was going on.
"I asked Chief Wu for your address." The girl was very respectful to Liu Nian and extended her hand, saying, "My name is Wu Qianli. I am Chief Wu's niece and also Wu Lili's attending physician."
"Hello." Liu Nian smiled slightly and shook hands with her.
"I guess they're here for the royal jelly too," Liu Nian raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to speak.
"Come, have a seat."
Liu Nian had Su Xu bring over a stool and then instructed him to pour tea. Su Xu then sat quietly to one side, while Liu Nian adopted the air of someone in charge.
This was the first time Wu Qianli had met such a strong woman. She smiled slightly and said, "Comrade Liu is truly blessed."
Liu Nian, too lazy to waste words, looked directly into Wu Qianli's eyes and said, "Let's get straight to the point."
His gaze was as deep as the sea, carrying a powerful sense of pressure, and Wu Qianli immediately shifted her posture uncomfortably.
“Then I’ll be frank,” Wu Qianli said. “I know you have a family secret recipe that’s very useful for skin repair, and I want you to sell it to us.”
"That's impossible," Liu Nian refused outright.
Wu Qianli hurriedly added, "Name your terms."
Liu Nian said, "I don't lack anything."
No matter what it is, she can earn it herself, and she has a cell phone, so what is she afraid of? That's her confidence.
However, it is now 1977, and the reform and opening up will soon begin, so many things need to be put on the agenda.
“I can cooperate with you. I will provide the finished product directly, and you can get the medicine from me. The hospital will take a cut.” Liu Nian said, “I will not provide the secret formula, and you don’t need to think about researching it. It’s useless. Only I have this thing.”
"That woman is so arrogant!" Wu Qianli looked Liu Nian up and down, somewhat wary. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay."
"And—" Liu Nian added, "I need the hospital to cooperate with me on some things."
At this point, it's crucial to take the initiative and make demands when necessary.
She needs to build a factory, but it's still a planned economy, so she needs the government's intervention and can only ask the hospital for help.
Now, Wu Qianli will agree to whatever Liu Nian says, after all, Liu Nian has real skills, and Chief Wu values Liu Nian highly, so she dares not neglect her.
Wu Qianli, of course, agreed immediately without even thinking.
...
"Liu Nian is going to build a factory! It's an industry supported by the government!"
The news spread quickly throughout Jiangjuntun.
"I heard it's some kind of cosmeceutical factory?" A few men, perched on their hoes at the edge of the field, asked Su Xu curiously, "What's cosmeceuticals?"
Su Xu said rather smugly, "You guys don't even know that? Cosmeceuticals, of course they're medicine!"
The tanned men, wiping the sweat from their brows with their rough shirts, winked at Su Xu and said, "Your wife is really something. You're our captain, a big shot, aren't you going to end up a gigolo, living off a woman?"
“You guys—” Su Xu shook his clothes and straightened his back, “You don’t understand the joy of being a kept man, after all, you don’t have such a good wife.”
This Su Xu is actually proud of it instead of feeling ashamed! These days, it's all about men standing tall, building families and careers. Doesn't he feel ashamed to be the man behind a successful woman?
Moreover, Su Xu felt inexplicably proud of this.
What's there to be proud of? But these guys suddenly felt uneasy. Some of them were single, while others had wives who were sitting barefoot on the ground pulling weeds.
He was big and burly, with skin as black as charcoal. How could he compare to Liu Nian?
"The factory needs female workers! One work point will be awarded for each day!"
Liu Dafa's loud and triumphant voice came from the loudspeaker. The women who were in the field immediately threw down the grass they were holding, put on their shoes, and rushed to the village committee.
Wang Xiuzhi was cutting pig feed with a basket slung over her shoulder, feeling both anxious and angry. In the entire General's Village, only Liu Nian seemed capable! What a sight to behold!
Getting angry was no use. Wang Xiuzhi sighed. She also wanted to earn the money, but she knew in her heart that Liu Nian would definitely not agree.
"Hmph, now you regret it, don't you?" Zhang Suzhen smoothed her hair, leisurely watching the group of women scrambling to get to the village committee, and said to Wang Xiuzhi in a low voice, "Look at me, I'm not in a hurry, that's because I know my sister definitely saved a place for me."
This was absolutely true. Zhang Suzhen took small, unhurried steps, which made Wang Xiuzhi's face turn green with anger.
Wang Xiuzhi rolled her eyes defiantly; she refused to believe it! She had to find a way to get into the factory!
otherwise……
