Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 259 - 260: The Best Position

Xu Ying first returned to the hostel to pack up her things, then went to the front desk to call and arrange the storage space for Mr. Sun’s collaboration on the duck and fried snacks.

After getting in touch with the right people, Xu Ying went to find Third Uncle Xu, Zhou Yi, and Yang Nan. They decided not to hold the tasting event that afternoon but to scout nearby locations to see where would be suitable for the promotion. freёnovelkiss.com

"Minister Xu, I think it’s feasible to do the event right outside the food factory’s entrance. People going to the food factory are definitely in the food business, and we could take advantage of our proximity to get the upper hand. We can just stop people and let them try our fried snacks," Yang Nan thought himself quite smart, with a face full of smug satisfaction.

But as soon as he said this, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.

Yang Nan was clueless.

Third Uncle Xu unceremoniously snapped his fingers on Yang Nan’s head: "Are you crazy, promoting our stuff right in front of the food factory’s doorstep? You think we’re not flashy enough and don’t want the food factory to hold a grudge against us?"

Zhou Yi also disapproved with his whole face: "Your idea is too reckless. We’re here to hold an event, not to make enemies. We are already strangers here; challenging the food factory directly would be asking for trouble."

Xu Ying was also shocked by Yang Nan’s line of thought and shot him a glare as she continued to walk.

The major factories of Shanghai were all clustered together.

If you were talking about deep pockets, the mechanical factory surely took the lead. They wouldn’t make a move often, but when they did, one order was enough to surpass the annual performance of those smaller factories—and then some.

Speaking of mechanical stuff, it sure is impressive.

"Uncle, let’s set up the event at the mechanical factory!" Xu Ying suggested firmly.

Third Uncle Xu chuckled and said, "It’s like we’re related by blood, thinking the same thing. I also think the mechanical factory is the most suitable place. Our food factory’s tasting event is frankly stealing business. The mechanical factory is far from the food factory, so even if they want to make trouble, they can’t reach us. Plus, the folks at the mechanical factory are not short on cash. If we can satisfy their appetites, the Department Store won’t overlook the advantages of our products. The Friendship Building is even closer to the mechanical factory, and these past days the wind has been blowing in that direction. Once we bring our products out, I’m sure the people over there will be able to smell the fragrance." Third Uncle Xu’s words brightened Zhou Yi’s eyes.

"Even if those foreign guests come, it won’t be our concern. They come on their own volition; it’s not like we’re causing them any disturbance."

Xu Ying nodded. No wonder Third Uncle was able to manage his own small business in her previous life; his mind was indeed sharp for business.

Yang Nan felt like his brain wasn’t working adequately. Clearly, he was only cut out for researching food and then consuming it.

The location was decided, and Xu Ying, along with the others, borrowed what they needed for the next day and headed back to the hostel.

The next morning, Qian Yuanyuan and Qiao Yuzhu got up early, one expecting to see Xu Ying embarrass herself, while the other was curious about Xu Ying’s capabilities.

This time, the factory manager had arranged a task for their textile factory: to sell clothes and earn a commission, with higher sales leading to bigger commissions.

Qiao Yuzhu was brimming with enthusiasm, ready to make a big splash and earn some money to take back home.

"Minister Xu, where shall we start the promotion?" Qiao Yuzhu asked curiously.

Qian Yuanyuan looked at Xu Ying with sheer mockery in her eyes, "Minister Xu, have we found a good spot yet?"

"I was so tired from sitting on the train all day yesterday; I fell asleep as soon as I got back. Minister Xu must have secured a good spot, right?"

Yang Nan was a bit clueless and didn’t realize that Qian Yuanyuan was being sarcastic.

He laughed heartily and said, "Yesterday, Zhou Yi, Minister Xu, Uncle Xu, and I had already found a good spot. We’ve been waiting for the try-out eating event to start today.

We even prepared all the tools we needed. We’re going to the mechanical factory area; the location is great."

Qian Yuanyuan had wanted to paint Xu Ying as irresponsible, but to her surprise, Xu Ying had already prepared early. For a moment, her face looked as uncomfortable as if she had eaten something disgusting.

She forced a dry laugh and said, "Minister Xu really works hard, huh."

Thinking of Zhou Yi and Xu Ying going out alone yesterday, Qian Yuanyuan felt a surge of anger.

At the guesthouse, she followed closely in front of Zhou Yi, fearing that the two might have another chance to be alone together.

Xu Ying and the others arrived at the entrance of the mechanical factory, and the gatekeeper old man greeted them with a beaming smile, "Xiao Xu, are you coming in for the try-out eating event?

I’ve prepared everything for you. Oh my, the braised duck and fried snacks you had yesterday were so delicious. I took them home and both my wife and the youngsters in the family loved them."

After finishing, the old man waved at Xu Ying and walked aside with an embarrassed smile, and said, "Xiao Xu, could you sell some braised duck and fried snacks to old me?

They’re just too tasty, and my family didn’t get enough yesterday."

Hearing this, Xu Ying’s eyes twinkled, and she smiled and said, "Old man, you can’t get me in trouble; if I sell them to you, wouldn’t that be profiteering?

If you want to eat, I can give you a few more packs, but old man, I might be disturbing you guys at the gate these next few days."

The old man was shrewd and instantly understood Xu Ying’s intention, his eyes crinkling with a smile, "No problem, feel free to disturb us. You’re not doing anything bad.

Speaking of which, this try-out eating event is going to be a treat for everyone; who wouldn’t want to join? Just set it up, and I’ll promote it at the mechanical factory later so everyone comes to eat."

Early birds catch the worms, though he didn’t know why Xiao Xu was organizing this try-out eating event, he didn’t believe she was wastefully burning through money. The young lady was a minister at such a young age.

She definitely had her own strengths, and this event must have its own strategic purpose.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying’s face boasted a sweet smile, "Old man, thank you. If we really start selling at the Department Store, rest assured, I will give you a discount."

The old man was thrilled when he heard this. His kids were grown and had official jobs, and the household was doing well, so they didn’t lack money. He’d definitely be a regular customer for these tasty treats.

The braised duck was only unknown to a few, but if more people knew about it, it would definitely be a best-seller. With this girl’s connections, he would never have to worry about not being able to buy these delicacies.

"Why is she chatting so happily with that old man, aren’t we starting the event?" Qian Yuanyuan looked suspicious.

Qiao Yuzhu was genuinely impressed with Xu Ying. As a qualified salesperson, she naturally understood what Xu Ying was doing.

This girl was so young yet so thoughtful—could this try-out eating event really serve a significant purpose?

"Old man, I have to get busy; you can rest," Xu Ying said, almost envying the gatekeeper’s job, to just sit at the gate all day and get paid. Ah, what a comfortable life.

"Minister, shall we start now?" Yang Nan was already drooling.

Xu Ying nodded.

Yang Nan immediately beamed with joy, "Light the fire, light the fire."
