Manager Gao explained, "The toilet paper factory's sales are so high that they can't keep up with demand. Ordinary vendors without connections can't buy any paper at all. They only supply large customers like us."
Su Xueli, a reborn person, immediately understood. This was still in the mid-1980s, when various enterprises were just emerging, market supply was insufficient, and many vendors had difficulty obtaining goods.
Su Xueli was even more determined to get back at Manager Gao. She said ingratiatingly, "Manager Gao, you must have a solution, otherwise I wouldn't have brought my sister-in-law to see you."
Manager Gao chuckled kindly, "You little rascal, you're quite the clever one. With your skills and the fact that you're Wei Susu's niece-in-law, how could I not help you?"
Su Xueli said cheerfully, "Oh, I knew I'd found the right person! Sister-in-law, quickly thank Manager Gao."
"Thank you... thank you, Manager Gao." Du Mei blushed with excitement.
Finally, Manager Gao said that there happened to be a private toilet paper factory in Su Xueli's county that produces paper that is sold throughout the province, and their department store also has a partnership with it.
All he had to do was call the sales manager of that paper mill, write a letter of introduction for Du Mei, and she would go to the paper mill with the letter, and the matter would be settled.
Du Mei rubbed her hands, not knowing what to say. If Su Xueli hadn't stopped her, she would have kowtowed to Manager Gao.
Manager Gao waved to Du Mei and said, "That's settled then. You take the child and wait outside. Xiao Wei, Xiao Su, and I will begin our business transactions."
Du Mei hurriedly led the child out of the office and waited outside.
Manager Gao inspected the goods and paid the young couple. Then, he looked at Su Xueli with a smile and asked, "Little Su, Little Wei, I've helped your sister-in-law so much, aren't you two kids going to thank me?"
Wei Mingshen said earnestly, "We are truly grateful to Manager Gao for his chivalrous heart. We really don't know how to thank Manager Gao enough. We will go back and make more straw handicrafts to repay Manager Gao."
Manager Gao smiled and shook his head, then pushed up his glasses and said shyly, "Actually, there's something on my mind, it's about your second aunt."
Su Xueli smiled, pursing her lips.
Wei Mingshen said solemnly, "Manager Gao, just say it directly."
Manager Gao became serious. "Xiao Wei, you are Su Su's nephew, so we are acquaintances. I will just tell you the truth."
Actually, I had a crush on your second aunt when I was in school, but, like in the book, a crush will always remain a crush; it won't take root for a lifetime, but it will never sprout. My second aunt and I just drifted apart in the crowd.
Unexpectedly, we met again more than twenty years later, and I was filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. So I thought, I won't let this opportunity slip away again; I will seize it firmly.
However, your second aunt has suffered emotional trauma and has closed herself off emotionally, not wanting to accept anyone anymore. Her state leaves me feeling very helpless; I need some outside help to get closer to her and get her to accept me…”
"Manager Gao, I understand. But Manager Gao, I must first make it clear that you can pursue my second aunt, and my partner and I can also help you pursue her, provided that you guarantee that you will never hurt her in this lifetime, otherwise, I may turn my back on you."
Manager Gao walked around his desk and stood directly opposite Wei Mingshen, his expression like a declaration, "Little Wei, my sincerity towards your second aunt is as clear as day. If I ever hurt her in the future, you can kill me!"
Su Xueli frowned.
Wei Mingshen said without changing his expression, "If I can't kill you, I'll make you wish you were dead."
Manager Gao extended his hand and said, "It's a deal!"
Wei Mingshen said, "Tell us how we can help you."
Su Xueli smiled.
Manager Gao rubbed his hands together excitedly, chuckled for a while, and said, "Actually, I was thinking that you should bring her with you every time you come back, and also, and also, give her more guidance so that she can open her heart again and try to accept me."
