Chapter 67 Secret Love
"If I give you the house and land, where will I live when I go home?" Su Houli didn't expect Chen Guilan to actually inquire about this matter. He really misjudged her. "Guilan, don't just think about yourself, you have to consider me too."
"Aren't you just thinking about yourself?" Chen Guilan laughed in anger. She had been so stupid before that she never thought the man beside her would be such a person. "Don't you think about where Jiaojiao and I would live if we returned to the village?"
Su Houli again: "..."
To hide his embarrassment, he glanced at his watch and said solemnly, "Think about it carefully. I'm going to work first. We can talk about it another day."
"I'll say the same thing next time." Chen Guilan took out an iron rack and hung her cotton jackets and trousers on it in order. She was not afraid of Su Houli at all now. They couldn't be husband and wife, so why should she be afraid of him?
After Su Houli rode his bicycle away, Chen Xiaoqing approached him mysteriously and asked, "Sister, who is he?"
"Jiaojiao's father." Chen Guilan replied.
"Hey, brother-in-law is quite handsome." Chen Xiaoqing winked and said, "If he comes over at night and has nowhere to stay, you can let Jiaojiao stay over here. We have two kangs here anyway."
Chen Guilan: “…”
Su Houli had originally planned to ask Xu Yuxiang and Su Xiumei to come over and talk to Chen Guilan in a couple of days, but he was told by his leader as soon as he returned to the unit that there was a mistake with the last order and it had been withheld by the provincial foreign trade department, and asked him to go over and deal with it quickly.
He didn't even bother to pack his luggage and went to the provincial capital overnight.
If this order fails, he will lose his position as deputy factory director, and even his current position as director of the technical department.
After the final exams, we still have to attend classes for another week before the winter vacation officially begins.
Su Jiaojiao's grades are in the top ten in the class. Except for mathematics, which is a bit lagging behind, her other subjects are still very good.
For this reason, the head teacher kept her to talk for a while, meaning that she should put more effort into math during the winter vacation, and her grades would improve. She should not just focus on making money, but should distinguish between the primary and the secondary.
Su Jiaojiao agreed to all of them.
She still has time, not too late.
This weekend is only half a day off, which is a rare opportunity for Su Jiaojiao.
She went to Hualian Shopping Mall to find Wu Laoshi and ordered a car that day. She was going to the Mocheng Clothing Wholesale Market to buy a batch of down jackets to sell.
While waiting for the bus, she went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought a few sets of high school math papers. Since she had no talent, being a small-town test-taker would be fine. She had originally planned to quietly do a few problems in the car, but halfway through, she saw Qin Shuang getting on the car. She was also a little surprised to see Su Jiaojiao: "Why are you going to Mocheng too? I just asked Xiuming to send you some goods!"
"I left early and didn't see him." Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to put the test paper away. "No matter how much the goods are, I'll give them to you right now."
"It's still two hundred." Qin Shuang wore a purple long skirt inside and a long black down jacket outside. She didn't wear a gray suit, but she was still fashionable. She sat down next to Su Jiaojiao. A faint fragrance came towards her, which was still the familiar fragrance from her previous life. Su Jiaojiao heard her say, "Don't worry, I told Xiao Liu to send the money to the finance department when you are free."
Perhaps it was because Qin Shuang had such a strong aura that no one spoke in the car.
Su Jiaojiao didn't do the questions either.
It was very quiet all the way.
After getting out of the car, Qin Shuang accompanied Su Jiaojiao all the way, helping her choose goods and offering some pertinent advice: "Down jackets must not only keep you warm, but also pay attention to the customer's demand for style. We need to have a full range of long, medium, and short styles, and the quality must be good. Don't worry about overstocking. If you can't sell, just ask the dealer to transfer the stock."
"Thank you, Aunt Qin." Su Jiaojiao had always had a special feeling for Qin Shuang. Besides Chen Guilan, she was the second person she wanted to protect. Qin Shuang patted her on the shoulder and went to get the auxiliary materials she had requested. The weather was too cold, so neither of them went shopping. Liu Wenji delivered the goods to the car and leaned against the window to say a few words to Su Jiaojiao: "It's very busy at the end of the year. If you need to restock, just let me know in advance and I'll have Ju Peijun bring it to you."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao nodded and said seriously, "If it can't be sold, I'll have Uncle Ju bring it over and exchange it with you. We just need to remember the quantity."
This time she ordered three styles of down jackets: long, medium and short, with five sizes in each style, for a total of ninety pieces.
The payment for the goods alone is 6,400 yuan.
This time, she paid the full amount in one lump sum.
"No problem." Liu Wenji admired Su Jiaojiao's straightforwardness. She knew he needed cash flow at the end of the year to pay the full amount in one lump sum. We are all in business, and it's not easy. Only by understanding each other can we go further. Before leaving, he gave Su Jiaojiao two down jackets he had prepared in advance. "It's the end of the year, so I want to give back to our old customers. One for you and your mother each. They're made in our own factory, no trademarks, so don't be disgusted."
"Thank you, Boss Liu." Su Jiaojiao fell in love with the two down jackets at first sight. One was khaki with big pockets on the front, a bit like the Korean style, and looked very casual. The other was navy blue with slanted pockets and a slightly fitted waist. Both were long, which was very practical for the mother and daughter.
"Boss Liu is really good at business." Qin Shuang glanced at the down jacket in Su Jiaojiao's hand, pulled one over his legs, and touched it. "Our factory has cooperated with him before. It wasn't me who took over at the time, but the production manager Huang Jiajia. Huang Jiajia is so picky, but she also said that the clothes made by Liu Wenji are reliable in quality, but the price is a bit high. Therefore, his sales in his local area are not very good, so he frequently delivers to our place."
The main industry in Melbourne is clothing.
Small clothing processing points are springing up everywhere in the local area. They are all of similar size and compete on price.
Liu Wenzhi disdained to compete with them, so he worked hard on quality and style, and was able to break through the siege and establish dealings with the clothing factories here. Qin Shuang admired this very much.
"I'm also attracted by the quality and style of his products, which is why I've been working with him for a long time." Su Jiaojiao believed this deeply. Because they had worked together in their previous life, she trusted him unconditionally. Liu Wenzhi was indeed trustworthy.
"Jingjiao, did Qin Xiuming come to see you?" Qin Shuang suddenly changed the subject. She turned her head and glanced at Su Jingjiao. "He didn't tell me. I just read his diary by accident."
Her silly son has been secretly in love with Su Jiaojiao for a long time.
If Su Jiaojiao wasn't a student, she would have wanted to break this window paper with her own hands.
"Yes!" Su Jiaojiao nodded without thinking too much, "He did come to see me."
"You're a smart girl." Qin Shuang smiled. "Qin Xiuming said you didn't say anything and just listened. Since you already know everything, there's no need for me to say more. I think it's more solid to walk your own path, rather than relying on others for support. In this regard, he's not as strong-willed as I am. I'm very disappointed in him."
Lu Jiaping looked for her several times, but she refused to see him.
Now that he has a wife and daughter, she feels there is no need to meet him again.
What she didn't expect was that Lu Jiaping was able to convince Qin Xiuming after only meeting him once, and even without her consent, Qin Xiuming actually wanted to go to the imperial capital with Lu Jiaping, which was something she had never expected.
Su Jiaojiao still didn't say a word.
She doesn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.
Today, Wu Laoshi set off half an hour earlier than usual. As the purchasing time was short, the journey was relatively smooth. He arrived in Jiao County at 8:30 in the evening. Once in Jiao County, he soon arrived at the Jiali Garment Factory.
The row of clothing stores in front of the Jiali Garment Factory were still open, and the lights in the business hall illuminated the surrounding area as bright as day. Qin Shuang lived in the Jiali Garment Factory. Just as she was about to get off the car, she saw Lu Jiaping standing at the factory door with a large bouquet of flowers. After all these years, she still recognized him at a glance. She decisively closed the car door and said, "Honestly, I'm not getting off here. Let's go!"
Wu Laoshi looked back at her with a slightly surprised expression.
He didn't know what was going on and said nothing. He stepped on the accelerator and continued driving forward.
Time has not left many traces on Lu Jiaping's face. Qin Shuang just glanced at him and felt uneasy.
After Qin Xiuming returned from the Guolv Hotel, he told her that Lu Jiaping's condition was serious at the time, and he was saved after two major operations in the imperial capital. However, his leg injury was too severe, and after several reconstructive operations, he still became a disabled person, and a slight limp was also a limp.
In the bumpy pickup truck, Qin Shuang was already in tears.
"Aunt Qin, let's go to my house first!" Su Jiaojiao saw it and sighed in her heart. She still couldn't remain indifferent.
"Okay, let's go to your house." Qin Shuang tried his best to suppress his emotions.
