Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 488: Business Is Business

"Mentioning Huamei Mall across the street, Yang Rui’s face also darkened.

He had just been reprimanded in the general manager’s office.

After the supply issue arose in the south, he kept arguing with Manager Wang for more time to coordinate, hoping to restore the supply from the south as soon as possible.

In his heart, he knew for sure that Wang Tianxue must have said something to his aunt.

At first, he didn’t worry about it; Wang Tianxue, no matter what, was just a cousin once removed. The department store has had connections with his aunt for so many years, how much interest lay between them? He couldn’t believe that his aunt would actually cut off the department store’s supply entirely. Perhaps it was just for show, to deceive Wang Tianxue.

But to his surprise, no matter how he tried to contact them or what incentives he offered, his aunt would not budge.

Not only that, but other suppliers introduced by his aunt also stopped supplying their department store.

Watching as Meihuo Mall across the street restocked with new products, Manager Wang lost his temper.

He gave a one-week deadline to solve the supply chain issue or else his tenure as the purchasing department director of the department store would be over.

"Are you sure you want to go to the south with me?"

Yang Rui looked at Tang Lili. Although it would not look good if his aunt saw him with her, if he didn’t mention it, his aunt would just think she was an employee of the department store.

Tang Lili had a good eye. If his aunt wouldn’t loosen up, they would indeed need to look for new partners.

Hearing Yang Rui relent, Tang Lili lit up, "Of course, I’ve got our marriage certificate with you. We’re husband and wife as one, of course I wish for you to do better and to show that Wang woman that without her, you’ll only be more successful."

Yang Rui liked hearing that, "Alright then, later you tell your team leader and finish work early. We’ll go back to pack everything up, and set off tomorrow." freёnovelkiss.com

"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Tang Lili sweetly replied, "But first, once the supply issue is resolved, you’ll have to make up for the wedding ceremony. I can’t be unclearly together with you like this. Later, you must invite everyone from the mall."

"Don’t worry about it, things have just been too busy lately. Once all this is taken care of, we’ll organize it. How could I bear letting you follow me without clarity? Haven’t we got our marriage certificate? The state recognizes us."

"Cut it out, it’s not just about the state’s recognition. I also want everyone at the mall to recognize that I’m your wife, rightful and proper..."

......

After arranging everything in the city, Lin Chuxia and Qin Juan sent their regards and went back to Ancheng.

County Magistrate Bai had the intention to talk to her about Old Food Factory during the grand opening of Huamei Mall, a matter Lin Chuxia always remembered, but wasn’t in a hurry to address.

Lin Chuxia had anticipated the bankruptcy of Ancheng Food Factory a long time ago, and although she could see County Magistrate Bai’s responsible attitude the second time he approached her.

Nowadays, besides the Old Food Factory, Ancheng had only Xiyang Food Factory as a related industry, he was indeed considering over a thousand employees of Ancheng Food Factory.

But Lin Chuxia was a businesswoman, and in business, she spoke the language of business.

In this life, although she did many things with a heart full of gratitude and the desire to benefit more people, she wouldn’t be a saint.

She was all too aware of the principle that gratitude turns to grudges over trifles. Constantly showing your benevolent side only shows weakness and vulnerability in the eyes of others.

Passively offering doesn’t mean making a sale; it’s exposing your softest parts to the other party.

If the other party is grateful, that’s good. Otherwise, they may feel that the knife hasn’t been thrust deep enough, and they’ve not gained enough benefits.

The last thing to gamble on is human nature.

Lin Chuxia hadn’t even reached the entrance of Qin Family Village, when from afar she saw a bustling scene of people and cars."

It’s the location of the Qin Family Village vegetable stall.

At this point, all the greenhouse vegetables had been sold out, but the open-field vegetables followed closely behind.

Wang Cheng, true to his reputation for experience, rode the wave of previous popularity to get the vegetable stall up and running.

She had heard that nowadays, many farmers who grow vegetables don’t patronize the county vegetable stalls; they only recognize the Qin Family Village Vegetable Market.

Seeing it for herself, the rumors were indeed true.

Lin Chuxia didn’t continue and changed directions, returning home through another entrance of the village.

When she got home, she first went to check on Zhang Guilan and the child.

These days, Mrs. Qin hadn’t been helping out at the agricultural supply store; she had been at home taking care of Zhang Guilan’s postpartum needs.

Zhang Guilan didn’t feel it was necessary; it was now summer, and she wasn’t afraid of catching a cold. She even wanted to take advantage of the cooler weather, unafraid of the breezes when stepping outside. Since it was her second child, she found the birth much easier compared to the first and thought she didn’t need much looking after.

But Mrs. Qin wouldn’t allow her to move around too much, insisting she rest well on the kang bed.

She earnestly advised her, "You can’t take your confinement lightly. You might not feel it now, but when you’re old, all the ailments will catch up to you. Now that our family can afford it, you should be even more careful. You developed back pain after having Zhuangzhuang, and now that you’ve had Yaoyao, you should take this opportunity to heal your back pain during confinement. Confinement illnesses need to be treated during confinement. Surely you won’t be able to have more children after this, so you must listen to me. Recover well, and you’ll enjoy your latter days."

Qin Han had already named his daughter; her official name was Qin Li Yao, and her nickname Yaoyao.

His eldest son, Zhuangzhuang, was a boy and now with the birth of a baby girl, his family was blessed with both a son and a daughter. Qin Han couldn’t wait to bring Zhang Guilan back from the city so he could name their daughter.

Zhuangzhuang spent two days and nights flipping through a paperback dictionary, nearly wearing it out, before deciding on this name.

Little Yaoyao had been born for over a week now. She had lost her birth-swollen appearance and red skin, looking fair and tender, with a hint of a milky scent.

Especially those large eyes, inherited from the Qin Family, with their large pupils, were incredibly charming.

"Sister-in-law, you should listen to Mom about this, just bear with it and stay put," Lin Chuxia said while playing with little Yaoyao.

Mrs. Qin glanced at Lin Chuxia and pursed her lips.

A few days ago, her younger son had called specifically to tell her not to mention having children in front of Lin Chuxia.

She used to be anxious about her younger son and his wife having children, often bringing it up.

Then, learning that they were planning to have children, she was elated for several days.

But no one expected that, despite the couple’s usual smooth sailing, they would encounter difficulties when it came to bearing children...

She had long noticed that her daughter-in-law adored children; there wasn’t a kid in the family who didn’t love this little aunt.

Now that the couple was having troubles conceiving, who knew how much heartache her daughter-in-law was feeling.

As a mother-in-law, she didn’t feel it was right to console her on this matter.

What could she say? Anything she said would be like stabbing her daughter-in-law in the heart.

So she might as well heed her son’s advice and not bring it up.

"You two chat, I’ll go cook. Tonight we’ll make Xiaxia’s favorite stuffed luffa dumplings," suggested Mrs. Qin as she collected her thoughts with a smile.

Zhang Guilan quickly said, "Mom, I want dumplings tonight too, I don’t need chicken soup anymore. I’m fed up with chicken soup and fish soup every day."
