"Sister Xian, are you really that at ease? They are thieves..." Wang Daguo said in a lowered voice after returning.
"I know, I have it all under control," Su Mingxian replied while busy with her tasks. "How's the situation at the Food Processing Plant?"
"I have a cousin at the tax bureau, and he said it should be finalized today," Wang Daguo immediately became serious when discussing business.
Su Mingxian nodded with a smile. "That's good. As the Deputy Factory Director, you need to take this seriously. Also, pay close attention to personnel matters. Listen to Fat Aunt's opinions, and hurry up. I've got things covered here."
There was a reason for choosing Wang Daguo as the Deputy Factory Director. Although he wasn't particularly handsome and lacked sharpness, he was a local with strong family connections. He could either find acquaintances in various departments or had relatives working there, which was crucial for Su Mingxian.
Wang Daguo took this matter seriously, but—
"Sister Xian, if I leave, who will keep an eye on them? What if they steal something or pull a fast one?"
Su Mingxian laughed upon hearing this. "What are you monitoring for? Just focus on getting things sorted out at the Food Processing Plant; that's more important than anything else."
Wang Daguo was left speechless...
He couldn't understand why Sister Xian was so lenient with these thieves. Two food carts and their contents were worth nearly a thousand yuan; what if they got stolen—
Could it really be because of that pretty boy from the Huangpu River?
With confusion and concern weighing on his mind, Wang Daguo left, while Su Mingxian didn't give the matter another thought.
What was there to monitor? She hardly had the energy for that.
She had given them the opportunity; how they chose to act was their own business.
Moreover, with Huangpu River, the drama queen, around, she couldn't wait for the items to be taken away quickly so that these people would no longer appear before her.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Before noon, Huangpu River returned with an excited expression.
"Did everything sell out?"
Su Mingxian looked at him in surprise.
"Of course! I'm amazing, right? If it weren't for that clumsy guy Heizi, I would have been back even faster. Sister Xian, you take this money, and hurry up and get me more stock. There are still people waiting over there."
Seeing Huangpu River's expression of disdain mixed with pride, Su Mingxian couldn't help but twitch her lips in resignation. She sighed and handed him two hundred portions of goods.
But less than an hour later, "Sold out again?"
Huangpu River was panting, sweat dampening the tips of his hair, his smile brighter than the sun. "It's from Xiucai's side; I came to pick up the goods for him."
...
That day, Su Mingxian closed up shop quite early.
She never expected that with the addition of the Huangpu River, they would sell out their Liangpi.
Sitting on the bed and counting today’s earnings, she was astonished to find that it was more than three times the usual amount.
That was nearly three thousand yuan! It turned out that having more people really made a difference.
“Mom, why are you so happy today?” Qian Qian looked at her in confusion.
Su Mingxian, filled with joy, kissed her daughter on the cheek twice. “Qian Qian, it won’t be long before I can buy you a big house, and then you can go to school. Isn’t that great?”
Qian Qian’s big eyes blinked as she cautiously replied, “I’m happy, but… are you planning to find a stepfather for me?”
This question caught Su Mingxian off guard. “Find a stepfather? What do you mean?”
Qian Qian bit her lip, looking wronged, tears welling up in her eyes. “They all say you’re going to find me a stepfather…”
