Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 416: Director Yang Agrees to Open the Store
Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Director Yang Agrees to Open the Store
"Director Yang, you don’t need to worry about the funds, they will be provided by our food factory and myself," Xu Ying continued to lay out the terms. "
Director Yang’s interest was piqued at once—if things really were as Xiao Xu had described, the benefits to them could be huge. "
He nodded without hesitation; after all, Anthony was currently very fond of Xiao Xu and would definitely be willing to work with him. "
"Well then, let’s do it the way you suggested. If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask," Director Yang said with a smile. "
Xu Ying nodded. Zhang Meiling, carrying dinner, entered the ward and paused upon seeing Director Yang, feeling even more that Xu Ying was highly valued by the leaders of the diplomatic department. "
"Yingying, eat something first, don’t let your child go hungry," Zhang Meiling said, offering the food to Xu Ying. "
Seeing this, Director Yang stood up, "Then I’ll take my leave. Meiling, since you’re all comrades, stay here and keep Yingying company." "
Zhang Meiling nodded, and Director Yang left with the others. "
Zhang Wu was somewhat anxious and insisted on staying. "
Xu Ying took the chicken soup Zhang Meiling handed her and drank it heartily. Ever since becoming pregnant, her appetite had increased significantly, and she got hungry faster as well. "
"Have you eaten yet?" Xu Ying asked after a sip of chicken soup, turning to look at Zhang Meiling. "
"I’ve eaten already, just eat yourself," Zhang Meiling said before turning to look at Zhang Wu, her gaze scrutinizing. She waved to call him over and led him out of the ward. "
Outside the ward, Zhang Meiling kindly started advising, "Zhang Wu, you’re still young; there are plenty of people you could find. Why do you have to be like these foreigners, fixated on Yingying without letting go? I’ve noticed that Yingying is a loyal person, and she loves her husband dearly. She wouldn’t divorce easily." "
What’s with people these days, fancying married women! Although Yingying is outstanding, these guys shouldn’t be acting like this. "
Zhang Wu’s face filled with panic; his cheeks turned crimson in an instant. As he looked at Zhang Meiling, he nervously explained, "My feelings for Xu Ying are only admiration, there’s no romantic sentiment between us, don’t talk nonsense." "
Zhang Meiling scoffed through her nose, "Hope that’s the case. I can watch over Yingying, so you should hurry back and get some rest. There are only two beds in this ward. If you, a grown man, stay here, where am I supposed to sleep?" "
Standing there, Zhang Wu felt a rush of heat to his cheeks. Without needing a mirror, he knew his face was beet red. He quickly nodded and darted out, as if fleeing. "
When Zhang Meiling returned, Xu Ying looked completely content as she ate. She had thought that the cuisine overseas would be different from what they had at home. She was surprised to be able to drink such delicious chicken soup abroad and curiously asked Zhang Meiling, "Where did you buy this chicken soup? I didn’t expect to find our local culinary skills here in M country." "
Zhang Meiling’s face flushed as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and slowly said, "It was made by a man at the exhibition hall today. He said his grandfather was from Huaxia; he loved the Huaxian cuisine his grandfather made since he was little and learned how to cook it himself. He’s the one who made this chicken soup." "
Xu Ying looked perplexed, and after thinking for a long time, a man from the morning suddenly came to mind. She asked in surprise, "Is it the man who signed the clothing order with us this morning?" "
Zhang Meiling blushed and nodded. "
Xu Ying instantly caught the scent of gossip, "Does he fancy you or something? I saw him sticking to you all morning. He didn’t follow you to the hospital as well, did he?" "
"No, no, he was just visiting a friend in the hospital by chance. We just happened to run into each other."
Xu Ying’s eyes carried a teasing look, "This really is quite the coincidence, your fate with him isn’t small, being able to bump into each other at the same hospital.
I think this guy must be interested in you, but you should also take a good look at what this man’s character is really like."
Xu Ying reminded her, seeing that the girl had a spring-fever look that clearly showed she was also interested in the man, but she couldn’t just rush headlong into it and get deceived by him.
Zhang Meiling nodded, "I know, I definitely won’t be like my sister, who just went to the countryside and was sweet-talked by a country man, and out of the blue, she got married, my parents are furious.
They say they want my sister to divorce that man, but my sister just refuses to agree, sigh!"
Zhang Meiling heaved a sigh, looked up at Xu Ying, "Speaking of coincidence, wasn’t the place where my sister went to the countryside in your Yu County?"
Xu Ying, upon hearing this, was a bit surprised, "Knowing which village she went to might reveal that it’s nearby."
"Seems like it’s Xujia Village, oh my, don’t tell me it’s for real, your surname is also Xu." Zhang Meiling’s eyes brimmed with surprise.
Xu Ying was startled for a moment, it couldn’t be this much of a coincidence.
"Your sister wouldn’t happen to be Zhang Qiuling, would she?"
Zhang Meiling nodded frantically, "That’s my sister, Yingying, do you know her?"
This really was a coincidence.
Xu Ying nodded, her expression slightly odd, "Your sister’s man works right at the fried food stall in front of our school.
He’s called Lu Aimin, and although he’s quite good, he treated your sister well when he was in our village.
Why don’t your parents agree with them being together?"
Hearing what Xu Ying said, Zhang Meiling’s face turned a bit awkward, she quickly shook her head, "I’m not too clear on the details.
Seems like my parents think the place my sister married into is too far from home, and besides, country people don’t have proper jobs, they think my sister will suffer there."
The truth was harder to hear. Her mother ranted, "A country bumpkin with no job, always digging in the fields, how could he possibly be worthy of my daughter.
Back then, when we were in the countryside, there was no choice, but now we’ve returned to the city, we can’t associate with those country bumpkins anymore.
Hurry up and get the marriage annulled, nobody knows you were married in the countryside, we won’t talk about this to others, and we can still find a good family in the city.
Nothing in the countryside is as good as the city, everything is inconvenient there, the city is so much better, with no worries about food or other necessities..."
Anyway, her mother didn’t have a single bit of fondness for her cheap brother-in-law.
Though which Lu Aimin was, she hadn’t seen him, nor did she know what he looked like, but he was able to enchant her sister enough to argue with their parents.
Her sister had always been obedient at home, never talked back to their parents before, and when she went to the countryside, she followed her parents’ arrangement without a complaint. This was the first time she saw her sister argue with their parents.
It was clear how important Lu Aimin was to her sister.
Xu Ying, upon hearing what Zhang Meiling said, instantly took displeasure, "Us country folks work hard with our own hands to make a living, we’re no worse than city people.
And now everyone in the countryside has implemented household responsibility systems. As long as people are willing to work, life can definitely be good. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Plus, the people from our village are doing quite well in our area. Doesn’t your mom know that our village is in collaboration with food factories and textile factories?
We’ve even established branch factories in our village, and most people there have jobs.
The wages are no worse than for the staff in the food and textile factories.
Lu Aimin just wasn’t satisfied with staying in a factory for life, which is why he wanted to go out and try his own business, and that’s why he and my partner have started their own shop."
