Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 262 - 263: Loved by Adults and Kids Alike

As soon as the workday ended, the employees of Magic City Food Factory rushed toward the machine factory.

Just as Director Li of Magic City Food Factory was leaving for home, he saw this scene filled with curiosity and casually grabbed an employee to ask, "Where are you all headed?"

"Director, there’s a tasting event at the entrance of the machine factory. They say the food is delicious, so delicious that even foreigners love it. Now it’s free to taste, we all want to go see how good it really is." After saying this, the employee disappeared in an instant.

The curious expression on the face of Magic City Food Factory’s director made him unconsciously run to see what was happening.

Upon arrival, he saw that the machine factory area was overcrowded, bustling with people. He inquired curiously.

When he learned that a small county food factory had caused such a commotion, Director Li’s expression darkened.

These people holding a tasting event was clearly a provocation to their food factory.

He wanted to see just how delicious this braised duck and fried food really were.

Director Li, with an imposing face, squeezed into the crowd and tasted a piece of the braised duck. His expression was incredibly colorful.

A small county-level food factory making such delicious food; whoever developed this product, why weren’t they in his factory?

Director Li was full of regret. He clearly saw the great profit potential that this delicious food could bring.

This food factory was capable indeed, organizing a tasting event and establishing its reputation without worrying about business. Director Li was also very tempted.

"Are you from Yu County Food Factory?" Director Li approached, exuding the official authority he had accumulated over many years.

The others around felt the aura of Director Li and tensed up, feeling nervous, but Xu Ying, who had led through the apocalypse, was completely unaffected by it.

She walked over with a smile and curiously asked, "And you are?"

Director Li lifted his head proudly, looking at Xu Ying through his nostrils: "I am the director of Magic City Food Factory. Are you from the county’s food factory?"

Xu Ying, seeing the expression on Director Li’s face, knew that he was there to cause trouble. After all, another food factory encroaching on their territory would certainly be infuriating.

She replied with a smile, "Hello, Director Li. Yes, I am from Yu County Food Factory, and I am responsible for our factory’s research and development."

Director Li was a bit surprised upon hearing this and sized up Xu Ying. He had assumed that the person who developed such delicious food would be older.

Certainly someone with extensive experience, perhaps coming from a family of chefs for generations, but he hadn’t expected this young woman to be the one who developed the food, which was somewhat embarrassing for him.

He snorted coldly, pretending to cough a few times: "Oh, I didn’t expect someone so young to be so capable. Did you develop these braised ducks and fried food?"

Xu Ying nodded truthfully.

Director Li grew even more jealous. Why should such a small county have such an exceptional talent? If only she were in Shanghai, how great that would be.

Looking at Xu Ying, Director Li abruptly changed his tone: "Young lady, what’s your name and how much salary do you get in your factory?

I can offer you double to come work in our factory. How about that?"

As soon as Director Li said this, Zhou Yi and Yang Nan became unsettled and quickly came over, looking at Director Li with a guarded expression. freewebnøvel.coɱ

They also looked at Xu Ying somewhat fearfully, wondering if she would really consider working in Shanghai.

Director Li, seeing Xu Ying silent, thought the benefits he offered weren’t good enough and continued, "I can help you register a household in Shanghai and can even bring all of your family members here. How about that?"

The offer was too tempting; having a Shanghai household registration was something many yearn for.

He simply didn’t believe that a young girl could resist such significant benefits.

Xu Ying smiled. She indeed loved money, but leaving her roots was out of the question.

Her hometown was where she was born and raised, and no matter the time or place, whether rich or poor, she would never leave.

Moreover, Yu County held important people and friends in her life.

"Director Li, thank you for your high regard, but I was born in Yu County and will return to my roots in death. Though Yu County can’t compare to Shanghai, it is my hometown.

Where I have loved ones, and people who love me, friends, and a community of hardworking people, I will not go anywhere else."

Director Li, upon hearing this, was somewhat surprised, "I’m offering you so much money, and you’re not tempted?"

Xu Ying shook her head, "My hometown is still growing, it’s too mediocre, can’t compare to Shanghai with its abundance of talents, missing one person won’t matter there, but my hometown is different.

It needs me, and I will always stand by my hometown, growing together with it."

Xu Ying’s words brought tears to the eyes of Zhou Yi, Yang Nan, and many others.

Qian Yuanyuan looked at Xu Ying with newfound respect, impressed by her sentiments.

Director Li looked at Xu Ying with regret, unable to employ her. No matter how excellent she was, he wouldn’t allow Yu County Food Factory to dominate.

"Won’t you reconsider?"

Xu Ying outrightly refused.

Director Li choked, huffed angrily, and left.

The tasting event continued, and more and more people, including entire families, came to try the food.

Among them were many children, who, after tasting the braised duck and fried items, started to cry and throw tantrums.

The adults, too embarrassed to ask, let the bold children make a fuss.

"Mom, I want to eat the duck leg."

"Grandma, I want to eat the duck wing."

"I want to eat the duck neck."

"The braised pig’s feet are good too!"

As the children cried incessantly, the adults, now emboldened, shamelessly turned to the organizers and asked, "Miss, can you sell us some of this braised duck?

Look at these children, crying and making a fuss to eat."

"Yeah, miss, these braised pig’s feet are really tasty too, can you sell us some? You’re going to sell them anyway, you might as well sell them directly to us."

Xu Ying immediately shook her head, "Auntie, we are not selling these. Otherwise, it would be speculative.

If you want to buy, you can go through the proper channels. Today, we’re just hosting a tasting event."

The ladies, upon hearing this, looked despondently at Xu Ying, still hoping to make a plea.

"Miss, just sell to us confidently, we definitely won’t report you."

"That’s not going to work either." Third Uncle Xu stepped forward and resolutely refused.

Selling separately wasn’tworth it, and they also didn’t have that much stock.

If they sold to them, not only would it be speculative, but they would also fail to garner community support, and the Department Store couldn’t easily negotiate collaboration with them.

"Auntie, please don’t make it difficult for us, I’m not the decision-maker here, we all work for the factory, and we do as the Director instructs."

The people, upon hearing this, sadly took their children and left.

Xu Ying and the others began packing up to head back.

But just when they had packed up half their things, a few foreigners arrived at the stall.

"Are you hosting a tasting event?"
