Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 470: The Office

Houzi introduced, "This is Ah Hua."

Lin Chuxia nodded slightly, glanced around the warehouse with Jia Liang, and said, "Let’s go do the paperwork."

Hou Xiaobao was slightly startled, "Do the paperwork now? I’ve arranged a meeting with the person in charge, Mr. Lin can take another look at the property."

"No need, I trust you guys," Lin Chuxia said as she took the lead, hands in pockets.

Noticing the others weren’t following, she turned back and said, "Come on, I don’t even know where the housing authority is."

Houzi chuckled, "It’s just ahead," and quickly jogged forward.

"The price should be this, I also thought it was high, thinking they were taking advantage because we are from out of town. Ah Hua said this price is already very fair."

Lin Chuxia had an idea in her mind; indeed, the price was more than double than what it was at their place, but this wasn’t a planned economy. With Rong City developing so well, land was naturally expensive.

"Is Ah Hua a local?"

Ah Hua had been following behind them, and upon hearing Lin Chuxia’s question, immediately replied, "I’m from Rong City. I used to work in a factory here, but the factory went down due to the recession. Then the government wanted to build a new market place and took over our factory. Us workers were laid off, relying only on government subsidies felt unreliable, so I thought of finding another job."

Lin Chuxia gave him a look, sensing he was a straightforward person.

The group arrived at the housing office, and the paperwork went smoothly.

Money exchanged hands, and the name changed; Lin Chuxia now owned her piece of land in Rong City.

She was satisfied with the speed of the process and checked the registered area, which was over eight hundred square meters.

After receiving the keys, Lin Chuxia revisited the property; aside from the warehouse being a bit run-down, there were no major issues.

"Jia Liang will stay in Rong City for a while to clean up this courtyard. It will serve as our office here."

After sorting things out at the apparel market, Lin Chuxia had Hou Xiaobao and Jia Liang investigate the local market, mainly to promote their Xiyang’s prepared food products.

Jia Liang had been busy running the market these days, and Houzi had found this courtyard.

Ever since meeting Aunt Fang, Lin Chuxia had been thinking about setting up an office in Rong City.

Whether it was the apparel business or her upcoming venture with Xiyang, this office was essential.

For the beginning stage of the business, this office would serve her business needs, and when it was no longer needed, she could just demolish it and build a small villa as her private property.

Rong City had pleasant weather, and it was a nice getaway from the north; just thinking about it made her happy.

Jia Liang was reliable, and he had experience managing Qin’s Restaurant; leaving this task to him was definitely no problem. This area also needed to develop some people.

Once things stabilized here, it wasn’t too late for Jia Liang to return.

As the sun was about to set, Lin Chuxia took her group back to the market.

The truck was already loaded with half of the goods, and Wang Tianxue was overseeing it personally.

"Sister Tianxue, how is it going today?"

Wang Tianxue glanced at the list in her hand, "We still have goods from two more places; once these are loaded, the rest are all from Aunt Fang’s stalls."

Lin Chuxia nodded, dealing with Aunt Fang’s apparel was much easier.

"Tomorrow I want to invite Aunt Fang for a casual meal," Lin Chuxia relayed to Wang Tianxue that she had bought a property in Rong City for an office.

Although nobody had asked about Houzi and Jia Liang these days, Lin Chuxia had shared her thoughts with Wang Tianxue.

Their apparel products needed a long-term supply, and even though they didn’t need to come each time, it was best to have someone here permanently, not relying entirely on Aunt Fang.

Wang Tianxue smiled, "You are efficient. Alright, I’ll talk to her in a bit."

Shortly after, the goods from the other two places arrived.

Houzi jumped onto the truck to help Liu Guoqiang and others load it.

That was it for the day; after loading half a truck, it had to be parked here at the market, and Houzi volunteered to stay and guard the truck, but Jia Liang stopped him.

"Go back and get some sleep. I’ll watch it these two nights, you still need to keep an eye on the road."

They planned to finish loading the truck tomorrow and set off the day after.

Houzi didn’t insist this time. With Jia Liang staying in Rong City, it indeed made more sense for him to watch over the next two nights.

The next day, Lin Chuxia had Jia Liang arrange a meal, formally inviting Aunt Fang and Xiao Xu for lunch.

Firstly, to express gratitude to Aunt Fang and Xiao Xu for their care and help these days, and secondly, to discuss the new office with Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang had already heard from Wang Tianxue that Lin Chuxia had established an office in Rong City. She was truly impressed by this woman’s sharp judgment and decisive action.

Being in business herself, she knew the difficulties a woman faced in the business world, but also understood the advantages they had.

The first time she saw Lin Chuxia, with her neat attire and vibrant appearance, she took an immediate liking to her.

A beautiful woman like this in the business world, as long as she was smart, was definitely not ordinary.

That evening, she talked a lot with her niece.

From initially learning her niece had such a shrewd business partner and advising her to learn and observe while being cautious, to later learning about her niece’s divorce and custody win with Lin Chuxia’s help, she felt her niece was fortunate.

"Miss Lin, you’re too modest. You can rest assured about this. Tianxue has already told me about her divorce. With the help Miss Lin has given to Tianxue, our office here will be under my protection. If there’s anything you need, just come to me. I’ll handle it, and it’s no big deal for me."

Lin Chuxia quickly raised her glass, joined by Jia Liang and others, to express gratitude to Aunt Fang, "I’ve known Aunt Fang to be straightforward, so I shamelessly came to seek your help."

Aunt Fang also waved her hands smilingly, "Here in Rong City, I cannot guarantee everything, but I won’t let your people be bullied. Also, since Yang Rui wronged Tianxue, there’s no need to talk about past favors with me anymore. I didn’t know before, but we have always supplied them with goods. In a few days, it’s time to supply again, and I will cut off their source directly. I heard from Tianxue that your store is also opening by the end of this month."

Lin Chuxia instantly understood.

Yan City’s apparel sales at the Department Store were doing the best, relying heavily on goods from the south.

Lin Chuxia had heard from Wang Tianxue that initially, when People’s Mall was being established, it impacted the business of the Department Store. During that time, when Yang Rui and his competitor were competing for the position of purchasing director, Wang Tianxue contacted Aunt Fang in Rong City and brought Yang Rui here to purchase.

Their bold move at that time showed their determination; managing the first batch of goods was also quite a hassle.

Gradually, as they established relationships, the Department Store flourished, securing and stabilizing the position for Yang Rui.

By cutting off their supply now, Aunt Fang was not only getting back at Yang Rui but also creating opportunities for their marketplace.
