"Oh, Shen Huanxi, you said this yourself, I didn't say it." Su Chaoyang became proud.
Men don't like to have their abilities denied or questioned. Even if they feel they are really useless, they don't want to be exposed.
He had felt the disdain of Shen Huanxi before, and he also had a crush on Shen Huanxi, so wasn't he always looking for opportunities to suppress Shen Huanxi?
It would be best if Shen Huanxi could realize that choosing Xiao Shanhe instead of him is asking for trouble, so he can also get back some ground.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, are you still there?" The older salesperson who had just gone out to make a phone call came back. When he saw Shen Huanxi, he walked over with a smile.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, I have consulted with our leaders, and we can give you a big discount. Here I have written down the original price and discounted price of various styles of freezers. If you pay the deposit now, our leaders will immediately arrange for the goods in the provincial capital and transport them to Yunnan by rail. Would you like to take a look first?"
"Okay." Shen Huanxi took the list prepared by the salesperson.
Su Chaoyang was still following beside him. He lowered his head to look at the form, glanced at it for a few seconds, and then smiled.
"You want to buy so many refrigerators, the factory you built must be quite big, right? Why did you do that? If I were your first choice, you wouldn't have to work so hard, and you would definitely be a rich wife now.
I feel sorry for you when I see you like this. Xiao Shanhe is really no good. What ability does he have? No wonder he got divorced. His ex-wife just looked down on him. How are you worse than his ex-wife? Why do you like him and not me? "
"I just like him, but I don't like you. Doesn't this mean that you are not even as good as him? Why are you still being so proud here?" Shen Huanxi glanced at Su Chaoyang.
"you!"
"Comrade, I want a freezer at this price and with this capacity." Shen Huanxi stopped paying attention to Su Chaoyang and looked at the older salesperson, marking what she wanted with a pen on the form she gave her.
"Okay comrade, do you want to pay the deposit now, or go back and prepare the money first? Our deposit is 30% of the selling price."
"Pay now, but you have to give me a formal contract. I want to sign it."
"Okay, that's easy. Although our home appliance mall has only been open for a short time, we have done a very standard job in sales and other aspects. We will definitely give you the contract you want and guarantee that we will get the goods according to the quantity and quality. Please wait for a moment. We have a ready-made contract."
"Okay." Shen Huanxi nodded and watched the older salesperson go get the contract.
Su Chaoyang was holding his breath for a long time, but couldn't utter a word. Several young salesmen were whispering to each other, and he couldn't hear what they were saying, but he felt that they were laughing at him.
"Su Chaoyang." Shen Huanxi looked at him again.
"Since you have come to me to talk about this, let's have a good chat. You think that I am asking for trouble by choosing Xiao Shanhe instead of you. Then let me ask you, where is my suffering?
I am going to open a factory, and I will be a female factory manager. This is planned by Xiao Shanhe. If I marry him, I can easily become a female factory manager. What can I do if I marry you? Become a rich wife?
You are just working for your brother now. How rich can I be if I marry you and become your wife? You yourself are not that rich. How can I be as rich as I am if I run my own factory?"
"I think what Comrade Xiao Shen said is right, Comrade Su, even if you have the ability, you can only make her a rich wife. But Comrade Xiao Shen's wife can make her a factory director." Xiao Li also supported Shen Huanxi's tone.
"Her husband can help her open a factory, but you don't even have the ability to open a factory yourself. In what way is her husband inferior to you? Who is inferior to whom?" said another salesperson.
Shen Huanxi is their big client, so of course they have to help Shen Huanxi get back his face.
"Yes, tell me about it." Shen Huanxi asked following what the salespeople said.
In fact, even without Xiao Shanhe, she could easily get rid of this factory. She just didn't like Su Chaoyang mocking Xiao Shanhe for his incompetence and her for marrying badly, so she said that deliberately.
After listening to what the sales clerks and Shen Huanxi said, Su Chaoyang felt extremely embarrassed. Several female sales clerks were already covering their mouths and laughing, which made him even more uncomfortable.
The older salesperson brought the contract over and had Shen Huanxi sign it. Shen Huanxi also paid the deposit. Su Chaoyang still couldn't say a word, but he was unwilling to just leave with such a loss.
"Chaoyang, why are you here again? Didn't I call you..." Lan Linxiang walked over and was halfway through her words when she saw Shen Huanxi here and was stunned.
"Comrade Lan, you have worked so hard. I feel sorry for you." Shen Huanxi said when he saw Lan Linxiang.
Lan Linxiang was already confused when she saw her here, and now after hearing her say this, she was even more bewildered.
"Your brother-in-law just came to work in your factory, right? Are you here to purchase? Why did he come with you? He doesn't know how to help you, and he even has time to come here to pick a fight with me. An employee like this who doesn't do his job properly and doesn't work seriously is fired only because he is your wife's brother, otherwise he would have been fired long ago."
"Chaoyang, I asked you to follow me and familiarize yourself with the business. How could you do this?" After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, Lan Linxiang frowned and looked at Su Chaoyang.
"By the way, Comrade Lan, it would have been fine if he had come to pick a fight with me, but he was also being unreasonable and wanted to laugh at me, but in the end he ended up finding himself even funnier." Shen Huanxi added.
"To be specific, he said my man is incompetent and that I was blind because I liked my man but not him. I want to ask you, where am I blind? Su Chaoyang went to work at his brother's factory, but he only knows how to slack off. Isn't it normal for me to look down on such a person? No matter what a man does, he has never slacked off."
"Shen Huanxi, don't go too far with your words! You..."
"Su Chaoyang, is what she said correct?" Lan Linxiang interrupted Su Chaoyang with some annoyance.
She is Su Liming's wife, and Su Liming's factory is her factory. How could he allow someone like Su Chaoyang to take advantage of the situation to exist in Su Liming's factory?
"Sister-in-law, I..."
"Oh, you are really capable. When you can't do your job well, you play the family card and call sister-in-law. You think that if you call sister-in-law, Comrade Lan will let you go because you are his brother-in-law, right? Comrade Lan is really unlucky to have a brother-in-law like you who holds him back." Shen Huanxi said again.
She was hurt so deeply by Su Chaoyang in her previous life, but because of the grief of losing Chang'an and Changning, she never sought revenge on him.
Of course the main reason was that after Su Chaoyang took away all her wealth, he went to live abroad with Jiang Shufen and did not return to China until he remarried and had children, and he had been avoiding her the whole time.
In this life, she had never thought of wasting time looking for Su Chaoyang to pay off the debt from her previous life, but now that Su Chaoyang came to her on his own to provoke her, she would settle the debts of this life and the previous life together and pay them back.
By this calculation, she is still quite polite.
"Shen Huanxi, please don't say anything..."
"Is there anything wrong with what she said? Su Chaoyang, you have no experience or skills. I have made an exception and asked your brother to agree to let you come to the factory. Don't take advantage of the fact that you are your brother's younger brother and start to dominate the factory. Your brother's factory does not tolerate idle people. If you have the time, you might as well go and check the accounts. Do you know how many exhaust fans we bought today?" Lan Linxiang scolded.
Several saleswomen watched this scene and stared at Su Chaoyang with their hands covering their mouths and laughing.
"Chaoyang, come over here quickly and settle the accounts!" Jiang Shufen also shouted from the other end.
She knew that she couldn't stop Su Chaoyang, and Su Chaoyang would definitely make a fool of himself.
But the bigger problem now is not making a fool of himself, but that if Su Chaoyang doesn't improve his work attitude, he may never be able to work in Su Liming's factory again.
Looking at Lan Linxiang's stern face, Su Chaoyang finally realized the seriousness of the problem and ran towards Jiang Shufen.
Shen Huanxi had finished his work here. He collected the contracts, said goodbye to the salesmen, and said he was leaving first and would come back in a few days to pick up the goods.
Lan Linxiang was able to catch up.
"I have nothing to say to you." Shen Huanxi expressed his attitude very impolitely as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lan Linxiang felt a little caught off guard, but she continued to follow.
"I don't want to tell you about what happened with Su Chaoyang just now. I am more annoyed with Su Chaoyang than you are. I wish he would disappear from this world immediately." Lan Linxiang also expressed her attitude.
"I want to tell you about Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng."
"There's even less to say. You didn't trust me at the beginning and thought I couldn't raise a child. But later on, didn't I manage to make Tangtang number one in the grade? What else do you have to say? The two children you raised yourself didn't even get number one in the grade." Shen Huanxi was really a little impatient.
But Lan Linxiang was getting closer and closer.
“I know the children you teach have good grades, but whether a child is excellent or not cannot be judged solely by grades. Otherwise, why are there so many children with good grades, but why are there so many differences in the lives of children who are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University after graduation?
Shen Huanxi, you have made your child the best in the grade, but you may not know how to educate children as well as I do. I am Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yutang’s biological mother. They are my flesh and blood. I definitely wish them the best…”
"You really want them to be well? Then take them back and raise them yourself," Shen Huanxi said.
"You!" Lan Linxiang's face changed.
"Shen Huanxi, did you do this on purpose? You clearly knew that the child had been awarded to Xiao Shanhe, and I've remarried now, so how could I possibly bring the child back to you?"
"That's it. The child was awarded to Xiao Shanhe, not to you. I'm not saying that you have no right to manage them because you're divorced and don't have children. But if you prefer your stepson to your biological son, then you have no right to manage them. Don't tell me those empty words. Ask yourself, between the five brothers Su Qiang, Wen Su Qiang, and Tang Tang, who would you choose if you had to choose?"
Shen Huanxi's words really hit Lan Linxiang's heart.
She asked the question that Lan Linxiang was most afraid to answer in person.
That's her view, too.
Shen Huanxi thinks there is nothing wrong for a woman to divorce and not have children, but if in her heart her stepson has a higher status than her own son, she has no right to come back and take care of her own son.
She once heard Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng say that one time Lan Linxiang bought two toy cars and brought them home. Both brothers wanted to play with them, but Lan Linxiang refused to give them any.
Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng were scolded by Lanling Township just because they touched the toy car. Xiao Yuzheng was even scolded to tears.
At that time, Lan Linxiang and Xiao Shanhe had not divorced. Shen Huanxi learned from Xiao Shanhe that the two toy cars were what Lan Linxiang intended to give to Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu.
From that moment on, Lan Linxiang was no longer qualified.
Shen Huanxi knew that Lan Linxiang was feeling guilty and would definitely not be able to answer, so he just walked forward and ignored her.
But this woman stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.
"Shen Huanxi, you are also a woman, you will definitely understand me. As mothers, we must love our children, but we cannot love our children more than ourselves. We still live for ourselves. Our lives will always be more important than our children's lives, right?"
"Yes, I don't object, and I understand you. But Lan Linxiang, listen to me, Tangtang and Zhengzheng are my children now, I know how to educate them, and I don't need you to interrupt.
I don't like others to point fingers at my life and the way I do things, even if you are the biological mother of the two children. I have my own ideas and plans. If you really think that I am not good to your two children, you can take the two children to live with you. I have no objection. If you don't take them back, don't make any more comments. "
"But will you really be nice to these two children? They are not your biological children." Lan Linxiang said with a sneer.
Shen Huanxi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
She never thought that Lan Linxiang was a bad person, nor did she dislike Lan Linxiang, but at this moment, she really began to feel a little disgusted with this woman.
"Aren't you also good to Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu? You are good to your two stepsons, so why do you suspect that I am not good to Tangtang and Zhengzheng?" Shen Huanxi said this in an angry tone.
When she first married Xiao Shanhe, she indeed had not thought about how good she would be to Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng.
But after spending some time together, she saw that Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng treated Changan Changning very well, and realized that there were two more people in the world who would treat Changan Changning sincerely. As Changan Changning's biological mother, and as someone who most wanted Changan Changning to live a good life, she would naturally be good to Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng.
Needless to say, she has been genuinely good to Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng during this period of time.
As the biological mother of Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng, Lan Linxiang would feel annoyed if someone interfered with her upbringing and education of Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng, but she would be unhappy if this woman doubted her sincerity towards Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng.
Lan Linxiang looked at the expression on Shen Huanxi's face and suddenly laughed.
"I am good to them because they are born into a high class and are at the end of others' lives. They will grow up to be excellent and powerful people. As their mother, I am very proud, and they will also be good to me.
But what about you? Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng have so many bad habits, what kind of people can they grow up to be? Not to mention becoming successful adults, it would be great if they don't cause you trouble in the future. Why should you be nice to them? Can I trust you?"
"Lan Linxiang, if you bother me again, I will avoid you next time I see you. It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. I am too lazy to say so much to you. I still say the same thing. If you don't believe me, take the two children back to your side and take care of them. Don't bother me."
"Shen Huanxi, why are you so excited? Am I not speaking to you calmly? I hope you will listen to me and educate them in the right way. It is for their own good and your own good. Otherwise, when they grow up and really get into trouble, won't you be the one who feels bad? Why are you leaving so quickly! Just listen to what I have to say!" Lan Linxiang was anxious. As soon as she came over, she grabbed Shen Huanxi's arm and stopped him from leaving.
I don’t know where she got the strength from. Shen Huanxi wanted to break away from her, but he couldn’t.
"Lan Linxiang, do you believe that I am going to yell right now? What do you think I should yell? I will yell that the child I raised can get first place in the whole grade, while your two children can only get second or third place. But now you come here to teach me how to raise children. Do you think you are qualified? Let me go!"
When Lan Linxiang heard her shouting like that, she got a little scared and let go of her hand.
"Don't shout. I'm talking to you calmly. Why can't you listen to me? I told you that whether a child is excellent or not cannot be judged only by their grades. We also have to cultivate them in other aspects..."
"Everyone listen, everyone look... mmmmm..."
"Don't shout!" Seeing that Shen Huanxi was really shouting, Lan Linxiang hurried over to cover her mouth and interrupted her.
"Okay, Shen Huanxi, I won't talk to you about the child now." Lan Linxiang knew that Shen Huanxi would not listen to talk about the child's education, so she changed the subject.
"We are both divorced and remarried. Our first marriage is better than the last. Your current husband is better than your ex-husband, and so is mine. My current husband is better than my ex-husband, but don't forget that my ex-husband is your current husband. Do you understand? You are not as good as I am at choosing men. Doesn't this prove that I am more capable than you?"
"Why do you think Su Liming is better than Xiao Shanhe?" Shen Huanxi became even more unhappy.
Lan Linxiang saw her face darken and smiled again.
"Su Liming is richer than Xiao Shanhe, Su Liming is smarter than Xiao Shanhe. There are so many good opportunities now, opportunities are everywhere. What has Xiao Shanhe done? Su Liming is now the richest man in Yunnan City. How can Xiao Shanhe compare to him?
The reason why I divorced Xiao Shanhe is because he has no ability and no future. I urged him to go into business and do something that can make more money, but he just didn't do it. I despised him and divorced him. But the man I despised is the man you like now, doesn't this mean that I am better than you. "
"That was before you and him got divorced. Lan Linxiang, do you know that Xiao Shanhe is now taking orders and making money at various machinery factories? And I don't even need to urge him, he just goes to take the orders on his own and gives all the money he makes to me.
And now I want to open a factory, and he made all the plans for this factory for me. He has never been interested in doing business, but he made a perfect and comprehensive business plan for me. "
"What did you say?" Lan Linxiang widened her eyes after hearing what Shen Huanxi said.
Xiao Shanhe actually took orders to make money? And he even did business planning? Didn't he always hate people doing business?
Shen Huanxi looked at the shocked expression on Lan Linxiang's face, and his mood instantly improved a lot.
"Do you know why he didn't come here with me today? Because he went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to help me register, and he had to help my factory to obtain some related documents." Shen Huanxi added.
This time Lan Linxiang’s eyes widened even more.
Shen Huanxi curled the corners of his mouth.
"Lan Linxiang, I'm not telling you this to show off to you, saying that Xiao Shanhe treats me better than you..."
"That's right..." Lan Linxiang frowned. Xiao Shanhe really treated Shen Huanxi much better than she did.
"I'm really not showing off to you. I just want to tell you that whether a man is good or not cannot be determined by one or a few people. It's like you think he's bad, but I think he's good.
Of course, I am not showing off my charm to you. You have a higher education than me, a better family background than mine, and are better than me in every aspect. Xiao Shanhe treats me better than you. It does not mean that I am better than you. I can only say that maybe I treat Xiao Shanhe better than you treat him.
Do you understand what I mean? Xiao Shanhe has never been bad. He is no worse than Su Liming. The reason why you think Su Liming is better than him is your own feeling, not the objective fact.
I believe I married well, so I don't allow you to come to me and say that my man is not good. You have no qualifications. Just because you subjectively think that Su Liming is better than Xiao Shanhe, you think I am less capable than you, and that I am not as good as you in educating our children.
I don't have anything to say to you, and I'm not the kind of person who beats around the bush. To be honest, Lan Linxiang, if you come to me and say that Xiao Shanhe, whom I admire, respect, and appreciate, is not good, I don't want to bother with you anymore."
The more Shen Huanxi spoke, the more determined her tone became and the louder her voice became. After she finished speaking, she took advantage of Lan Linxiang's moment of shock and walked forward faster, turning the corner to the main road.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw the person in front of me...
That's not someone else...
It happened to be Comrade Xiao Shanhe, whom she "admired, respected and admired".
The two people looked at each other, and Shen Huanxi was suddenly stunned. Did Xiao Shanhe hear what she just said?
Xiao Shanhe looked at her and suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Before Shen Huanxi could say anything, he saw a car driving over and stopping next to the three of them.
"A Xiang, what took you so long?" The window of the driver's seat was rolled down, and Su Liming's voice came over.
The four of us looked at each other...
Shen Huanxi didn’t know what other people were thinking. She felt a little embarrassed, and also felt embarrassed for Xiao Shanhe.
How come it is such a coincidence that I met so many people I shouldn’t have met here today?
Lan Linxiang divorced Xiao Shanhe and remarried Su Liming because she felt that Xiao Shanhe had no future and that Su Liming was more capable than Xiao Shanhe.
She must have mentioned these thoughts many times in front of Xiao Shanhe and Su Liming. Now, the man she looked down upon and the man she respected the most met here without any warning.
Su Liming was also stunned.
Lan Linxiang suddenly smiled:
