Guangzhou.
It was just past nine o'clock in the afternoon when Su Feng found Chen Meili's stall in the tenth row.
"You're Sister Qiao's son?!"
Chen Meili stared wide-eyed at the imposing young man, who clearly wasn't an ordinary person, which greatly surprised her.
And that Sister Qiao, she could tell at a glance that we were intellectuals. Our son looked somewhat like us, but not quite, but he was definitely well-educated.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, my name is Su Feng, and I'm studying at university in Guangzhou."
Su Feng nodded politely to her, briefly introduced himself, and then didn't say anything more.
"Comrade Su, Sister Qiao called yesterday and said that she would let me choose the style and price first, and then ask you to take a look when you come over."
Chen Meili didn't quite believe that Su Feng was still in university; it didn't seem like it. However, since his family didn't want her to know, she certainly wouldn't ask any more questions.
Then, she quickly took out the styles of autumn clothes to show Su Feng, and also told him the price of the styles she wanted to give to Qiao Jiuru.
After looking at the designs, Su Feng agreed with the style recommended by Boss Chen. He then picked out another style for himself, and the final issue was the price.
However, since Chen Meili had long intended to cooperate with Qiao Jiuru in the long term, she naturally offered the lowest price.
So, with Chen Meili's permission, Su Feng used the phone in her shop to call his mother who was waiting at home.
The mother and son talked on the phone for about 1 minute before Su Feng hung up.
“Mr. Chen, my mom said to just take these styles and quantities. The price will be calculated based on the quantity, and then we'll go to the bank together to transfer the money.”
Su Feng handed the order form to Chen Meili, explaining that he had adjusted the quantity over the phone.
"Okay, there's no rush about the payment. How could I not trust Sister Qiao?!"
Chen Meili and Qiao Jiuru had only interacted a few times, but for some reason, she trusted each other a lot; it was an intuition she had about Qiao Jiuru.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your trust in my mother. However, what is due still needs to be given."
Su Feng was surprised that the female boss trusted her mother so much.
"Haha, don't worry, I never said I wouldn't charge you."
Chen Meili quickly smiled and said that she had a good impression of the Su family. The Su family was truly trustworthy and a very good long-term partner.
Qiao Jiuru selected two to three popular colors for each style of clothing and ordered a thousand pieces, totaling approximately twenty thousand pieces.
Now, even a few thousand pieces are considered a large customer, let alone tens of thousands. Chen Meili is truly devoted to Qiao Jiuru's goods.
She immediately arranged for Su Feng to pick up and check the goods, and then Su Feng went to a nearby bank to transfer the money to settle the payment.
"Comrade Su, your mother is one of my major clients. How about this, I'll pay for the shipping of this batch of goods. Consider it making friends, and I hope to cooperate more in the future."
Chen Meili made this decision after careful consideration. The shipping cost for this batch of goods was quite high, probably over a thousand yuan. Fortunately, even if she only made a one yuan profit per item from the goods Qiao Jiuru wanted, she would still earn twenty thousand yuan. Therefore, even if she paid the entire thousand-yuan shipping fee, she wouldn't lose out.
The main thing is to firmly grasp Qiao Jiuru as a major client. How could we not make back the shipping cost of over a thousand yuan?!
Su Feng didn't expect such a good thing to happen, but he also knew in his heart that the other party would definitely make tens of thousands of yuan from this batch of goods, so this little bit of shipping cost was really nothing.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen."
Without any hesitation, 놛 accepted the offer and then went together to count the clothes worth over 20,000 yuan. Boss Chen also told 놛 that the shipment had been arranged for early the next morning, and 놛 didn't need to worry about the rest.
Qiao Jiuru had already explained the follow-up procedures to her son. Su Feng then said goodbye to Boss Chen. He still had some time to spare before he needed to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some paper, pens, and ink.
Xinhua Bookstore, Beijing Road.
After entering the Xinhua Bookstore, Su Feng had a very clear goal: he went straight to the counter that sold notebooks, paper, pens, and ink, and then looked around and picked them out.
"Dr. Su, it really is you."
Su Feng, who was focused on choosing a fountain pen for himself, suddenly heard a surprised voice beside him. He looked up and immediately recognized the person.
"Battalion Commander Ling, what are you doing here?!"
This tall, imposing, and incredibly powerful man was named Ling Xiaohe, a patient whom Su Feng had rescued during a border relief mission. Su Feng had a particularly deep impression of him, not only because he was young and held a high position, but also because Ling Xiaohe was severely injured at the time, on the verge of death.
Therefore, as Ling Xiaohe's attending physician, Su Feng interacted with him every day during that period, and even if they didn't know each other, they would have become acquainted.
"I'm studying at a military academy here."
Ling Xiaohe was overjoyed to see Su Feng, as if they were old friends reunited. Trusting Su Feng, he explained why he was there.
"congratulations."
For someone like Ling Xiaohe to continue his studies means there's huge potential for advancement. Su Feng remembered that he seemed to have graduated from a military academy, unlike ordinary military personnel.
"Dr. Su, are you free?! I'd like to treat you to dinner; I haven't thanked you yet for saving my life."
Ling Xiaohe, having unexpectedly reunited with Su Feng in this unfamiliar city, couldn't help but extend an invitation.
Of course, most importantly, Su Feng had really saved his life.
"Battalion Commander Ling, you can just call me Su Feng. No need to thank me, saving lives is just my job. But if you want to treat me to a meal, of course I'd be happy to."
Su Feng was naturally happy to make friends with someone like Ling Xiaohe, and he was also delighted to have the chance to meet him in such a place.
"You told me to call you Su Feng, so you can call me Lao Ling. I should be older than you."
Ling Xiaohe was in a better mood. Meeting an old friend in his hometown made him more proactive in getting closer to Su Feng.
After buying their things at Xinhua Bookstore, the two of them went to a nearby time-honored restaurant called Tao Tao Ju for dinner.
Su Feng and Ling Xiaohe chatted while eating and learned that the other person was only one year older than them, already ten years old this year, but still not married.
Young cadres of Ling Xiaohe's age and position who are still unmarried and have a promising future are extremely rare, not only in ordinary places but also in the military.
"Because I don't want to get married so early. I haven't even figured out how to do my job yet, how can I possibly understand what's going on in a big life? Besides, I've never been in the mood to think about anything before, because I can't do two things at the same time."
"I also think that a woman should focus on doing one thing well at a certain stage, and marriage is a major life event that involves two women and even children, so it must be taken very seriously."
“That’s right, that’s what I think too. It doesn’t matter how I live as a single person, but it’s different when I have a child. I have to be responsible for my future partner, and even more so for the child. I feel that I don’t have the ability to take on this responsibility right now, so I haven’t thought about having a child.”
"Aren't you urging your team to hurry up?! Aren't you urging them to hurry up either?!"
Su Feng asked this question out of curiosity. He really didn't know anything about Ling Xiaohe's situation, but he seemed to have heard that Ling Xiaohe's family was also in the team and had such a background.
"Keep urging me, I won't get married. My thoughts are different from yours."
Ling Xiaohe looked troubled when this was mentioned. "As long as there are no problems with my work, why do you guys always interfere in my life?!"
The key issue is that no one understood my thoughts, which made me feel particularly helpless.
