It’s better to stay put honestly. Thunder and lightning are very dangerous. Could it be some powerful being crossing a tribulation?
Jiang Xinyu laughed at her own whimsical thought.
Suddenly, she thought of Wei Kaiyun, counting on her fingers, the cotton should have been stored by now, not sure if it is raining in the provincial city.
Jiang Xinyu’s worries were unnecessary; the provincial city was still sunny. However, Wei Kaiyun was organizing manpower to store the cotton.
The workers, despite being hot and tired, all wore joyful smiles.
The raw material warehouse was almost empty; unexpectedly, they got goods, so how could everyone not be happy?
A total of forty tons of cotton, and two warehouses were already filled.
Wei Kaiyun returned to the office and called the finance department, "Prepare the funds for the raw materials as soon as possible."
He just came back and was already thinking about leaving again, thinking about taking the opportunity to deliver money to visit his wife.
Why didn’t she come back with him? Leaving him all alone, it’s too inhumane.
Suddenly, the phone rang, "Hello, Wei Kaiyun."
"Xiao Wei, come over for dinner tonight."
"Okay, it’s Old Jiang and some others, right?"
"Just a few old acquaintances."
"Got it, I’ll be there at seven tonight."
Wei Kaiyun hung up the phone. He went back to the dorm to get clothes and headed to the bathhouse; if Jiang Xinyu were here, she would surely disdain him.
He shook his head, his mind was all about her, in every aspect, he couldn’t do without her.
In the evening, Wei Kaiyun rode his bike to the restaurant. Jiang Cong greeted him, "Everyone’s here, let’s go inside."
The few people in the private room saw the two of them come in, all stood up smiling and greeted Wei Kaiyun.
"Old Ding, how come you’re in the city?"
"Came to place orders at your textile factory, now you can’t refuse, right? I happen to know you imported several tons of cotton from abroad."
"Haha, Ding Xiangxing, you really have inside information, but you have to wait a bit."
"As long as you have it, I can wait. But I have news, they need a large batch of clothing, so these orders are likely all green."
"Okay, once you’re sure, just place the order."
"Xiao Wei, I feel you’ve changed."
"Old Liang, what changes do you see in me?" Wei Kaiyun sat down cheerfully.
"You look better, more spirited."
"Haha, Xiao Wei, your old partner is complimenting you."
"Isn’t it? A textile factory director and a dyeing factory director, aren’t they partners?"
The dishes came quickly; they were really good. Jiang Cong really spent lavishly; these were all directors from the provincial city.
"Old Jiang, you’re really capable."
"Alright, Old He, your pharmaceutical factory’s canteen is no worse than this, why are you praising me ?"
"Hahaha, nowhere compares to here."
"Old Jiang, what about the wine?"
"Smoke and wine should be ready together, shouldn’t you prepare it?"
"Nonsense, I have the smoke, where do I get the wine?" Wu Junfei pulled out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed them on the table.
"Haha, I have it, I brought all my family’s wine this time." Wei Kaiyun smiled and pulled out three bottles of white wine from his bag.
"This wine is from the factory over there, definitely strong."
"I say, Xiao Wei, why didn’t you bring your secretary?"
Only Jiang Cong had met Jiang Xinyu.
"Secretary Jiang is still at the T City Textile Factory, I haven’t found the right secretary yet."
Liang Shaozuo sighed, "Xiao Wei, you must be careful in choosing a secretary, Old Yuan is an example."
"Really, I suddenly received a transfer order in the capital and came directly, how was Old Yuan’s issue resolved?"
"Old Yuan was taken away, but we don’t know where to.
His wife and kids are still in the city but have left the family courtyard.
That Secretary Tong also disappeared." Ding Xiangxing sighed.
"Old Yuan is really unlucky, did such a good job at the textile factory? Sigh!"
"I say, you must all pay attention to male-female relationships." Old He also lamented.
"Look at us, all male secretaries, how convenient."
"Xiao Wei, I have a nephew, a high school graduate, want him to be your secretary?" He Jian Country asked Wei Kaiyun.
"You didn’t place him at the pharmaceutical factory?"
"No, with you, he can gain more experience."
"Forget it, don’t flatter me. Drink.
Old He, let him come find me tomorrow, I’ll take a look. The previous secretary did great, average ones can’t catch my eye."
The seven of them kept exchanging glasses, and the three bottles of wine soon hit the bottom; they spoke without restraint.
"Xiao Wei, your secretary became a factory director, any thoughts?"
"No thoughts? Am I that small-minded? Qian Jun is capable."
"Both of you are capable, aren’t you twenty-eight? Look at us being factory directors, but we’re all over ten years older.
Is Qian Jun the same age as you?"
"A year younger than me. More capable than me. You’re not old."
"I say, Xiao Wei, want me to introduce you to someone?" Wu Junfei asked tentatively.
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "Not interested, I’m never home, what’s the point of a wife? I have no plans to settle down now."
"Xiao Wei, that’s not right, don’t you plan to have kids?"
"Not interested, raising kids is too much trouble."
"Xiao Wei, you still need to find a wife, or you’ll be lonely when you’re old."
"We’ll talk about it later."
"By then, you won’t have the energy."
Wei Kaiyun just smiled, not responding further.
The few people, seeing Wei Kaiyun’s firm attitude, stopped the topic.
It was just past nine when they each left, Wei Kaiyun rode his bike, his mind full of thoughts of his little wife. He had a wife, no introduction needed.
Thinking about the bits and pieces with Jiang Xinyu, wishing she was right beside him now.
At this time, Jiang Xinyu was sitting in the main room, holding a watermelon, digging with a spoon to eat; the rain had lasted for more than three hours now, showing no signs of stopping.
This solved a big problem, it would surely reduce yield, but at least it wouldn’t be a total loss. That was satisfying enough.
Getting through a famine is a blessing.
She didn’t want to finish this half watermelon, putting it back in space, but left the seeds to plant in the yard tomorrow, still able to eat watermelon in autumn.
Such cool weather was perfect for sleeping, Jiang Xinyu lay on the bamboo mat, spread-eagle, feeling comfortable.
No longer thundering, she turned on the radio, even at night there was commentary, but it was some background noise.
Didn’t know when she fell asleep, but was awaken by sunlight, it was too bright, she turned over and listened to the news broadcast, gradually waking up.
A beautiful day began, Jiang Xinyu sat up and opened the window, the fresh air invigorating her spirit.
She got up, washed, and ate. The beans on the bean vine looked very fresh. For lunch today, bean stewed meat with a sheet of dough on top, Jiang Xinyu couldn’t help but drool thinking about it.
