226 Tailored
Yu Yan quickly made the decision to hide this matter and said calmly, “I don’t know. We’ve only been together for a few days. I only know that his father is a small leader in the factory.”
Although Li Xin had only seen Yao Nian once, she didn’t like the way he did things. She was worried that Yu Yan was just smitten with his handsome appearance, so she thought for a moment and reminded her, “Yu Yan, the most important thing when looking for a partner is character. Don’t just look at appearances. It’s fine if you want to date him. We won’t object, but you definitely can’t get physical with him before you guys get married.”
Although Li Xin’s tone was calm, it revealed her firmness.
When Yu Yan heard this, her thoughts drifted to that night. She felt a little guilty and angry, so she blushed and said, “Mom, what are you talking about? What kind of person do you take me for?! I’m going to bed now!”
With that, Yu Yan stood up and returned to the dormitory. Li Xin stared at Yu Yan’s back worriedly as Yu Yan left.
The next day, the factory was about to welcome the big customer who ordered bean paste.
Xiao Sheng was unprepared. When he arrived at the county city’s office early this morning, he saw Zhang Chao talking to a man.
The other party was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, leather shoes, and a watch. It was obvious that he came from a wealthy family.
Although the man was dressed formally, from his charming eyes and his graceful mannerisms, Xiao Sheng quickly determined that he was definitely from a wealthy family. People who didn’t come from a good family wouldn’t exude that kind of casual elegance.
After Brother Qiang took over the black market in the city, Zhao Chao worked under Xiao Sheng. After a period of interaction, Zhao Chao was completely won over by Xiao Sheng’s methods and intelligence. He was Xiao Sheng’s fanboy now.
When Zhang Chao saw Xiao Sheng, he ran forward eagerly and introduced the person sitting in the room. “Boss! This is the big buyer who placed the bean paste order.”
Previously, when Xiao Sheng went to negotiate, the person who signed the contract was Zeng Li’s assistant, so he didn’t see Zeng Li in person.
Xiao Sheng found it a little strange. The contract procedures had been settled, so why did he come to a small county like Pingjiang at this time? However, he didn’t show any expression on his face. He only walked forward and extended his hand. “Hello, my name is Xiao Sheng.”
Zeng Li stood up with a smile and reached out to shake Xiao Sheng’s hand. “Hello, I’m Zeng Li.”
Xiao Sheng asked, “Mr. Zeng, why are you here today?”
With a serious and responsible attitude, Zeng Li planned to take this opportunity to change his family’s bad impression of him and make them realize he was no longer a child.
Hence, Zeng Li went straight to the point and said, “I’m just here to see the production environment of your food factory and see if you have any other chili products.”
Xiao Sheng wanted to say that there was only one product, but when he thought of Yu Bing’s superb culinary skills and her mind, which seemed to be full of delicacies from all over the world, he immediately changed his words. “You’re welcome to visit. If you have any other needs for spicy products, we can customize a new product for you according to the requirements.”
Zeng Li was very satisfied when he heard this. He didn’t want this trip to be in vain.
On this business trip, after Zeng Li took the train to the city, he borrowed a car from an acquaintance and drove to the county city. After Xiao Sheng arranged the assignments for that day, he brought Zeng Li back to the village.
Because her adoptive parents were going back today, Yu Yan applied for half a day’s leave. Then, she found the old man who drove the ox cart to send her parents to the bus station in town.
The bus to the city would set off half an hour later, so the few of them were still waiting in the waiting room. Li Xin nudged Yu Hai meaningfully.
After Yu Hai received the signal, he caressed Yu Yan’s head and said with a nostalgic smile, “You’ve grown up in the blink of an eye. It seems like just yesterday that you were in the first grade of primary school. Every day, when your mother and I sent you to the classroom door, you would start to hug my thigh and refuse to let go. You insisted on going home.”
When Yu Yan heard her adoptive father’s words, she also laughed.
When she was young, she wanted to play all the time. When she heard that she had to sit in the classroom the entire day when she went to school, she didn’t want to go. In the first month of the first year, this sort of scene happened every day. Hence, her adoptive parents used toys and snacks to lure her into the classroom every day. They only stopped when she started to feel the joy of going to school.
