As soon as Ma Yunfei returned to Qinglong Town, he went to the sales station.
When the abbot saw Ma Yunfei return, he hurriedly ran over and whispered, "Boss, I went to City A again yesterday to deliver some yams. Xia Tian asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that she has encountered trouble again."
Ma Yunfei asked eagerly, "What trouble did you encounter in the summer?"
"Summer didn't say anything specific, she just asked you to call her."
Ma Yunfei went to the post office and made a phone call to Xia Tian's office at Jiufa Company.
Xia Jiufa answered the phone. He recognized Ma Yunfei's voice and asked, "Little Ma, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, that's exactly who I was looking for."
Ma Yunfei was very disappointed. Jiufa Company had only registered one phone number, but had installed three extensions. Unexpectedly, it was Xia Jiufa who answered the phone.
"Xiao Ma, what's wrong? Lately, the amount of yams delivered from your Qinglong Town has been decreasing. What's going on?"
"Mr. Xia, we've almost finished harvesting the yams; what's left are second- and third-grade products."
"Xiao Ma, you need to talk to these farmers and get them to bring out all their stored yams. They should take advantage of the high prices now and sell them off quickly. Don't be stingy; raise the purchase price a bit."
"Okay, Mr. Xia, I will do my best to mobilize these growers to bring out all the yams they have in stock."
"Xiao Ma, what's up with your call?"
Ma Yunfei suddenly remembered the wild walnuts in Yunwu Town and said, "President Xia, I'd like to ask if there's a market for wild walnuts?"
"I have never done business with wild walnuts before, so I don't know if there is a market for them."
"Mr. Xia, the town nearby is famous for its wild walnuts. I think this business is worthwhile. Could you inquire about the market for wild walnuts and what the price is?"
"Sure, no problem."
"Mr. Xia, I think that doing business with just yams is a bit too monotonous. If we can broaden our sources of income, we can make more money."
"Xiao Ma, I'll try to find out as soon as possible, and I'll let you know if I get any news. Recently, the abbot and Tuqiu came to deliver yams. They're both quite nice, especially Tuqiu. Don't let his young age fool you, he's quite shrewd and very particular about the scales, haha... Xiao Ma, you have quite a few helpers."
"President Xia, I'm just a newcomer and can't compare to you. However, my assistants are quite capable. Otherwise, I would have worked myself to death on my own."
"Xiao Ma, if you don't have anything else, I'll hang up now. I'm very busy and don't have time for idle chatter."
Ma Yunfei had no choice but to hang up the phone.
He thought for a moment and then called Xiaojie's family.
Xiao Jie answered the phone with a smile and said happily, "Brother Ma, I'm so glad you remembered me."
"Xiao Jie, how have you been lately?"
"Okay, that's good."
"Xiaojie, I heard that Xia Tian ran into some trouble. Do you know what it is?"
"Brother Ma, Xia Tian came to my house last night. She did run into some trouble. Here's what happened."
Xiaojie recounted in detail the troubles she encountered in the summer.
Two days ago, Xia Tian was busy until dark before leaving Jiufa Company. As soon as she stepped out of the company gate, she was stopped by a man.
"Miss Xia, do you still recognize me?"
A short, stout man asked with a grin.
Xia Tian looked closely and recognized the man as Wang Xiaobian, a rich second-generation.
She asked in surprise, "What...what are you doing here?"
“Miss Xia, I…I would like to talk to you.”
As Xia Tian walked, she said, "Wang Xiaobian, we have nothing to talk about anymore."
“Miss Xia, I think there’s still something we can talk about. Even though you’re pregnant out of wedlock and have a three-year-old daughter, I don’t care.”
Xia Tian was startled; it seemed Wang Xiaobian still wanted to date her.
“Wang Xiaobian, if you don’t care, that’s your business. But I do care. Not only am I pregnant out of wedlock and have a three-year-old daughter, but I’m also still in contact with my ex-boyfriend. Do you know what that means?”
Summer means: I still occasionally live with my ex-boyfriend.
Wang Xiaobian said shamelessly, "Miss Xia, I don't care about or concern myself with the past. As long as you are devoted to me after we get married, that's enough."
“Wang Xiaobian, that day, your mother said that she would never allow any unmarried pregnant woman in your Wang family. I know you are a mama's boy and listen to your mother the most. Do you dare to go against your mother's wishes?”
“Miss Xia, I am indeed a mama’s boy, and I have always listened to my mother. However, ever since I met you, I have been captivated by you. These past few days, I have been dreaming about you every night. I have made up my mind to take charge of my own marriage this time.”
Xia Tian glanced at Wang Xiaobian and thought: With your character, you think you can make decisions? It's a joke.
Seeing that Wang Xiaobian was persistently pestering him, Xia Tian said, "If you can make the decision, then please ask your mother to come over."
Wang Xiaobian said with difficulty, "My mother has already said that she won't let you into our Wang family. I've decided that we should live together."
Xia Tian glanced at Wang Xiaobian and asked, "If we live together, what will we eat? What will we drink? What will we use? I heard that you can't do anything and don't understand anything. You're just a Manchu bannerman. Without your parents, you're nothing but a pile of dog shit."
Wang Xiaobian stamped his feet and said, "Miss Xia, this is an insult to me! I protest!"
"Did I say something wrong? May I ask: What can you do?"
"I am the company's deputy general manager."
Xia Tian glanced at Wang Xiaobian and said disdainfully, "Your position as deputy general manager is just a title. I heard that you go to the office every few days to sit for a while, but all you do is drink tea and play mobile games. You don't do anything serious."
Wang Xiaobian said confidently, "I... I'm not incompetent, it's just that my dad is backing the company, so I'm too lazy to work. If the company were really handed over to me, I would do a great job."
Xia Tian asked, "Your parents don't agree to me becoming your daughter-in-law. Do you dare to disobey them? You said you wanted to elope with me. May I ask: do you have any money?"
"Hehe... Miss Xia, to be honest, I have several million yuan, which I have saved up slowly. Moreover, I have secretly invested in a Southeast Asian company and own 51% of its shares."
Xia Tian was taken aback and asked, "You really invested your own money in a Southeast Asian company?"
"Of course it's true, I'm absolutely not lying."
Xia Tian asked curiously, "Why did you invest in a Southeast Asian company behind your parents' backs?"
“Ms. Xia, I wanted to give my parents a surprise. They always think I'm useless and can't shoulder the responsibility of the company. I want to show them: I can do it!”
Xia Tian really looked down on Wang Xiaobian, thinking he was a bit stupid.
