Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 346: Another Order Comes In

Chen Meilan quickly regained her usual calm demeanor, nodded to her, "Xiao Su, see you later, you go ahead and get busy."

"Alright, goodbye, Director Chen."

Su Xiaoxiao waved to her and walked over to Zhang Yulan and the others.

Zhang Yulan grabbed her anxiously and asked, "Xiaoxiao, how did the order go? Did it succeed?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt that Zhang Yulan was more enthusiastic about her candidacy for Sales Manager than she was herself.

Qin Shuang also joined in with a curious expression.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t keep them in suspense and immediately explained the situation to them.

Zhang Yulan hugged her tightly, "That’s great, it looks like it’s a sure thing. Should we start calling you Manager Su?"

Qin Shuang’s eyes were twinkling, "Xiaoxiao, I knew you were the best!"

Being showered with praise from the two, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know where to place her hands and feet, feeling like she had met her little fans.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out two duck necks, handing one to each of them.

"This is still undecided, let’s wait until it’s confirmed; consider this a treat for now."

"Try it, it tastes really good."

Su Xiaoxiao eagerly recommended it, believing no one could resist duck necks.

She was quite hooked on the taste herself, thinking about it every day if she didn’t have it.

The two had a positive bias for Su Xiaoxiao, and without any hesitation, tore open the packaging.

One bite in, and their mouths were filled with surprise.

They didn’t expect such an inconspicuous duck neck to be so delicious.

Qin Shuang, being a foodie, asked around a mouthful, "Xiaoxiao, do you have more duck necks? I want to buy two, no... ten from you."

Zhang Yulan nodded forcefully beside her, "Delicious, too delicious, I want to buy a few more for the kids at home to try."

Su Xiaoxiao was about to say she’d give them some as gifts when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking towards them.

Her face filled with surprise, wondering how this person could be here at this time.

Zhou Cheng also saw her at this moment and walked over with joy on his face.

"Comrade Su, long time no see."

Zhang Yulan saw the newcomer and sensibly pulled Qin Shuang away to give the two some privacy.

Facing Zhou Cheng alone, Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit awkward.

This person had expressed his feelings to her several times, but she wasn’t in the mood for a relationship now, only thinking about making money.

Thinking about it, she awkwardly greeted, "Captain Zhou, long time no see."

Zhou Cheng met her smile, and his cheeks quickly flushed an interesting pink.

"Comrade Su, the letters and things you sent me all arrived. I like them very much, thank you."

Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more comfortable with this topic.

"If you like them, I can send you more later."

The money Zhou Cheng previously gave her was more than enough, allowing her to send things to him ten more times.

Here, Zhou Cheng seemed to think of something, and his expression slightly changed.

After a moment, he tentatively asked, "Comrade Su, did you also send these things to someone else?"

Thinking about certain people looking smug when facing him, Zhou Cheng felt somewhat annoyed.

He initially thought those things were specifically sent to him by Su Xiaoxiao, but it turned out Song Weidong got them too.

Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected him to suddenly ask this question and was momentarily unsure how to respond.

She couldn’t say that not only were the items the same, but even the replies were replicated perfectly, could she?

However, before she could think of how to respond, Zhou Cheng had already found a topic and transitioned the conversation away.

"Comrade Su, I’m here this time to discuss a business deal with you."

"Discuss business with me?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise, and Zhou Cheng nodded.

"I’ll be around here for a while; the troops need to procure a batch of daily necessities and want to place an order at your department store, is that okay?"

"Yes, of course."

The Liberation Army has needs, and as a member of Hua Country, she should support them to the best of her ability.

Moreover, this order would likely put her significantly ahead of Liu Changjiang.

Thinking this, her gaze at Zhou Cheng warmed noticeably.

Noticing her expression change, Zhou Cheng’s lips subtly curved.

Originally, tasks like procuring supplies wouldn’t involve him, but wanting to see his crush, he volunteered. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Captain Zhou, come with me, I’ll take you to our director, you’ll need to discuss the order details with her."

The troops require a lot, from cookware to staple foods and oils, practically everything needs procuring.

Just this one order guarantees a win for Su Xiaoxiao.

In less than a day, she secured two orders; even Chen Meilan was surprised by her luck.

Looks like she won’t need secret help from the General Manager anymore.

After discussing the cooperation, Su Xiaoxiao warmly saw Zhou Cheng out from the department store; he was her big client.

"Comrade Su, I’ll be around for a while. If it’s convenient, when you have time, I’d like to invite you to a meal."

Zhou Cheng suddenly said.

Not wanting Su Xiaoxiao to misunderstand, he quickly added, "Just to thank you for those items you sent, nothing else."

He had just brought her such a large order; rejecting would seem rather unkind.

Thinking about it, she said, "Alright, how about tomorrow evening after work?"

The day after tomorrow, she had to accompany Chen Meilan to have dinner with her partner, uncertain of her schedule.

Receiving her affirmative response, Zhou Cheng visibly relaxed his tense muscles; luckily, Comrade Su wasn’t avoiding solo interactions due to past events.

The saying goes that proximity brings opportunity; he’d be in the area for about a month, ideally using downtime to enhance his presence before Comrade Su.

Seeing him off, Su Xiaoxiao busied herself a bit more, and soon it was time to clock out.

Riding her bicycle home, she felt in high spirits.

Without even visiting the detergent and clothing factories, she scored two big orders

She happily hummed a tune on her way home, from afar spotting Wang Shengli peeking around the alley’s entrance.

Seeing her, Wang Shengli’s eyes lit up as warmly as a dog spotting a bone.

"Comrade Su, here you are? We’ve been waiting for you a long time."

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao got off her bike, he eagerly helped park it.

Chen Tieshan emerged from the alley: "Sis, you’re off work; we’ve brought the remaining balance, count it."

Without a word, he handed over a bundle of banknotes to Su Xiaoxiao.

Without counting, Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the money directly into her pocket.

Chen Tieshan didn’t expect that she would trust him so much, accepting it without counting.

Just for that trust and decisiveness, he’d settled on her as a reliable person.

Little did he know, Su Xiaoxiao was a pro at this, not needing to count money note by note.

Excitedly, Wang Shengli rubbed his hands together beside them: "Comrade Su, can we pick up the sewing machine now?"
