Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 414: Starting a Factory Partnership

Soon, Wang Xiuxiu returned with paper and pen, and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao carefully recalled the appearance of those four men and quickly sketched them on the paper.

Initially, Wang Xiuxiu was puzzled, but the further she looked, the more shocked she became.

She was drawing, and it was the portraits of those traffickers.

By the time Su Xiaoxiao had finished drawing all four, Wang Xiuxiu’s gaze towards her had turned into shock and admiration.

"Alright, can you hand this over to the police comrades?"

Wang Xiuxiu snapped back from her shock, carefully folded the portraits, put them away, and turned to run out quickly.

Su Xiaoxiao felt she had nothing to do, went to process her discharge, and found out that the hospital expenses had already been covered by the police comrades.

Truly the people’s good police!

She couldn’t help but sigh, swaying while holding her belongings as she walked out, when she unexpectedly came across two figures hastily running towards her.

They were none other than Hu San and Chen Hai.

Both were panting heavily as they reached her, bowing their heads and catching their breath.

Hu San was the first to catch his breath: "You... Hello, may I ask... which ward is Comrade Su Xiaoxiao in?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Buddy, maybe you should look up first?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, both raised their heads in unison, then jumped back in synchronization.

Hu San stammered: "You... weren’t you strangled to death? Could it be a ghost?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

No, she merely pretended to faint. Gosh, rumors went as far as sending her away.

Chen Hai was the first to react, swatted Hu San on the back of the head: "What nonsense? Have you ever seen a ghost with a shadow?"

Only then did Hu San notice the shadow on the ground, and taking a deep breath, he said: "Scared us to death, we thought something had happened to Sister Su."

Su Xiaoxiao squinted: "I guess you two aren’t worried about me, but concerned you won’t get today’s goods, right?"

Hu San awkwardly scratched his head: "Well, a bit of that too, haha."

After all, half of today’s goods were already reserved, and if they missed the money, it would feel worse than death.

Chen Hai slapped him again: "Of course, we’re more worried about your safety."

Hu San grumbled: "Brother Hai, why do you keep hitting my head? It’ll make me stupid."

Chen Hai rolled his eyes: "As if you could get any stupider."

Hu San: "..."

Buddy, do you have to tear me down like that?

While speaking, Wang Xiuxiu returned panting, seeing the two momentarily stunned: "Brother Hai, Brother Hu, why are you here too?"

All three were acquaintances, and upon explanation, found out the little girl Su Xiaoxiao saved today was Wang Xiuxiu.

Suddenly, Wang Xiuxiu remembered something, carefully took out a glass bottle from her pocket: "Sister Su, here’s the spicy sauce you asked me to make yesterday, try it and see if the taste is right?"

Hu San and Chen Hai had tasted Wang Xiuxiu’s spicy sauce before, and their lips twitched uncontrollably, wondering why the little girl was possibly repaying kindness with resentment?

Ignoring their desperate winks, Su Xiaoxiao calmly took it, dipped her finger in to taste, and her eyes immediately sparkled.

It was delicious, even better than the Lao Gan Ma sauce she had given.

Unlike the previous throat-choking spiciness, it was both spicy and fragrant, edible even without something to pair it with.

It was mildly less spicy than Lao Gan Ma but smelled more aromatic.

She suddenly realized: "Were you captured while trying to deliver this spicy sauce to me at the hostel?"

Wang Xiuxiu embarrassingly nodded: "Sister Su, is the taste alright? The one you gave me yesterday was snatched by the old lady, I only tried a bite, not sure if I made it right."

Wang Xiuxiu nervously clutched her clothes. Sister Su was the kindest person to her since she could remember, wanting to do something in return.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao remained silent for a moment, having only tried once and made something even better, this girl was a genius.

Seeing her not speaking for awhile, Wang Xiuxiu became nervous, worried Sister Su didn’t like it or it tasted too bad.

Hu San sensed the awkwardness and mistakenly thought it was too bad to say directly, quickly tried to console: "It’s alright, Xiuxiu, if it’s not tasty, you can try again..."

Without finishing his sentence, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke: "It’s delicious, simply amazing! Xiuxiu, you’re a genius!"

She curved her brows, giving a thumbs-up to Wang Xiuxiu with a genuine smile.

Wang Xiuxiu blushed deeply from the unexpected praise.

"Sister Su, stop teasing me, how could I be any kind of genius..."

"Xiuxiu, I’m not joking, are you interested in doing business? We can start a factory, you provide the skill, I’ll provide the funds."

Hu San and Chen Hai were shocked, looking at Su Xiaoxiao as if to say not to exaggerate for comfort, starting a factory isn’t child’s play, Comrade Su must be crazy?

Yet considering Comrade Su’s remarkable abilities, they both simultaneously looked at the jar of chili sauce.

Chen Hai curiously asked: "Sister Su, can I taste a bit of that?"

Su Xiaoxiao declined: "It’s mine. If you want to try, wait until our factory is up and pay for it."

Hu San realized and nudged Chen Hai: "Sister Su, you’re unfamiliar with the people and places here, neither manpower nor venue for the factory, why not partner with us?"

Throughout their recent interactions, they greatly trusted Su Xiaoxiao’s competence.

They investigated and found nowhere could source those snail noodles and instant noodles except through Comrade Su.

Moreover, she was also the sales manager at the department store, proving her capability. Associating with her could only be beneficial.

After considering what they said, Su Xiaoxiao realized indeed it was a problem, managing things would be inconvenient in a new area.

Having these two to assist would surely make things easier.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Alright, then it’s settled, we’ll jointly start this factory, with company shares split; you two hold fifty percent, Xiuxiu takes a twenty percent technical share, the remaining thirty percent mine, and we’ll split the startup costs."

Hu San jumped up immediately: "Sister Su, that’s not fair, we’re investing the same, why should our shares be five percent less than yours?"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him: "Alright, if you object, then I’ll just partner with Xiuxiu..."

She turned to discuss with Wang Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, you provide the technique, I’ll provide the funds, together we..."

Chen Hai noticed they didn’t intend to include him and Hu San, hurriedly realizing, hitting Hu San again: "Without Sister Su, the factory wouldn’t even come to fruition, yet you want equal shares? Wishful thinking!"
