Seeing her nervous, guilty, lacking in confidence, yet with a playful look on her face, Tang Zhan couldn't help but scratch her little nose.
"What are you thinking about? The money in the house is yours, you can spend it however you want!"
As he spoke, he leaned towards her and whispered:
"And I'm yours too!"
“…”
The man's low voice was full of temptation. Wen Guoer was embarrassed by this sudden love talk and blushed! She turned her head to look out the window, avoiding his sight.
"Wife, please be careful when buying things next time. I don't want you to be in danger."
Tang Zhan noticed that his young wife was shy, so he stopped looking at her, held the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, and changed the subject.
Wen Guoer knew that this man was very sharp-minded and he could see many things clearly!
But he never said much, never restricted her, and even indulged her.
She wasn't sure how long she could keep her secrets from him. But those unimaginable things and the inconceivable space made her unable to speak, and she was afraid to speak. She was not yet confident that his feelings for her could withstand such a great temptation.
"Okay!" she replied simply.
The two arrived at the food factory smoothly, and the factory director welcomed them into his office.
"Comrade Wen, I've been waiting for you to come! Finally you're here." He said as he was busy pouring water for them.
"Director Shi, I've thought about it and I think I can sell the formula to the factory for use."
"That's great! I'd like to thank you on behalf of the factory!" Director Shi was very excited.
"Don't worry, I've agreed to let the factory use it, but I have a few conditions. I wonder if the factory can agree to them."
"Tell me about it. If the factory can do it, we will definitely try our best." Director Shi took a sip of tea and waited for her to continue.
"The first condition is that the ownership of the formula must remain with me forever."
Wen Guoer said this, seeing the director frown, but ignored him and continued:
"The second condition is that I only sell the right to use the formula, and the contract must be signed for three years.
That’s my condition.”
The room was silent for a few seconds before the director spoke:
"Comrade Wen, the factory is very interested in this formula. We can agree to your conditions, but the price won't be that high..."
He hesitated and said:
"To be honest, we decided in our previous meeting that we're willing to buy the formula for RMB. If you add these two conditions, you might not get that much."
Wen Guoer understood what Director Shi meant, and also knew that he wanted to give her more options. After all, the Era Yuan was a huge sum of money in those days.
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Shi. I will stick to my plan."
Seeing her determined look, Director Shi thought she had made up her mind, so he said no more.
"Then please wait a moment, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the office.
Seeing his wife's mouth was dry, Tang Zhan handed her some water and said, "Drink some water. Your lips are dry."
Wen Guoer raised her eyebrows and listened to him take a sip.
A few minutes later, Director Shi came back and told her the factory's decision:
"The factory accepts your terms and is willing to purchase the right to use the formula for three years for 1,000 yuan."
Wen Guoer didn't want to haggle over the price. It was not her intention to make money from formulas. In this era when all factories were state-owned, the more technology a factory had, the more value it could create for the upper echelons.
This is also an opportunity for her to show off her skills openly.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Wen Guoer readily agreed, and the two parties signed the contract. After receiving the formula fee as agreed, she and Tang Zhan stood up and said goodbye.
"Xiaohao often talks about you at home. That child is thoughtful and always thinks about the person he likes!" Director Shi mentioned this before leaving.
"Then I'll go see him sometime. How's he doing lately?"
"We found a Chinese medicine doctor and are continuing to give him acupuncture. We hope he gets better and better!" Director Shi's face was full of anticipation.
Wen Guoer was relieved to hear that a doctor had been found! Acupuncture was indeed the most effective treatment for Xiaohao's condition.

At this time, in Xiaofang Village on the outskirts of Kyoto, Lu Jun pulled the back of the postman's car and asked:
"Comrade, can you please check again? Are you sure my package is missing? My name is Lu Jun, Lu as in mainland China, Jun as in handsome."
"Comrade Lu Jun, there really isn't anything. We've checked many times." The postman was already getting impatient with his questioning.
