Chapter 376: Advantages
“Director Kang is an upright person, so it’s normal that he can’t come here.”

Director Kang served in the army and fought on the battlefield when he was young, so he is a brave man in his bones.

The two chatted while drinking tea, with Qiao Lan doing most of the talking and Lin Chuxia agreeing with her, occasionally expressing her own opinions.

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Lin Chuxia estimated that the cotton mill was about to close, so she stood up and said goodbye.

“Time flies when you have good tea. I should go back now. I’ll come and have tea with you next time.”

Of course Qiao Lan welcomed him, and reluctantly saw him out the door. She watched him walk away before turning back. When she turned around, she saw her husband coming home from get off work.

“I got off work on time today.”

Qiao Lan took the briefcase from him and walked home with him.

Kang Yong glanced at her and asked in confusion, “Why are you out in such a cold weather? Are you here to greet me after get off work?”

Qiao Lan is afraid of the cold. When the weather gets cold, she stays in the house and doesn’t want to go out.

“Not really,” Qiao Lan said with a smile on her lips, “Xiao Lin came just now and we drank tea together for a long time. She just left. Xiao Lin is really versatile and knows a lot about tea.”

“It’s rare for you to meet someone you can talk to,” Kang Yong replied with a smile, but suddenly, the smile on his face froze, “Why is she here again? Could it be that she heard some news from the factory and is here to get some information from you?”

“What are you talking about?” Qiao Lan glanced at him in reproach. “Don’t think I’m so materialistic. Xiao Lin didn’t mention anything about your factory. She lives in the city now. She saw imported cosmetics for sale in a department store a while ago, so she thought of me.”

Kang Yong saw the cosmetics gift box on the table and snorted coldly: “If it wasn’t for the sake of profit, why would Lin Chuxia give you Qiao Lan cosmetics?”

“Okay, okay, what you said makes sense.”

Qiao Lan couldn’t argue with him, and she also knew that Lin Chuxia was on good terms with her because of her husband’s face.

“But then again, you have to deal with the assets of your cotton mill. Do you also want to sell the storefront at the night market? I think Xiaolin is planning to take that storefront. It’s not a big deal. Just sell it to her.”

It doesn’t matter who you sell it to, the cotton mill can’t be saved anyway.

Kang Yong tilted his neck and unbuttoned his coat, his voice was indistinguishable from his emotions, “Don’t worry about it. She came to you and since she didn’t mention it, just pretend you didn’t know. Besides, even if she knew, what would happen? Your man is not the factory director, so he can’t make the decision for the director.”

Qiao Lan heard something behind his words and looked at him, “What do you mean? Are you planning to sell that storefront to someone else?”

“It’s the factory director’s brother-in-law. He took a fancy to the storefront and wanted to buy it and open a steamed buns shop to do some small business.”

When Qiao Lan heard this, she curled her lips in disdain. “Is he trying to start a small business? He just saw that Qin’s Baozi Shop was doing well and wanted to take advantage of it. I remember you had a contract before, and you mentioned that Xiao Lin was cunning. It was clearly written in the contract that they have priority if the house is sold.”

At that time, Kang Yong did not take this proposal seriously at all. In his opinion, it was impossible to sell state property.

I didn’t expect that it would reach this point in less than two years.

It seems that the woman is more accurate than him.

“The factory manager also knows about this and plans to compensate her.”

Kang Yong couldn’t remember what the penalty for breach of contract was.

Qiao Lan did not take it lightly. “You have to persuade the factory director about this matter. Don’t forget the fate of the old food factory. I think Xiao Lin is not someone who will suffer. Liu Guoyi was not only dismissed, but he is still staying there.”

Kang Yong looked at her and suddenly smiled. “Look, she said Xiaolin didn’t come here because of the house. Now you are speaking for her. It seems that Comrade Qiao Lan’s will is not strong enough. She was corrupted by a coffee pot and a set of cosmetics.”

“I’m just talking about the facts.”

Seeing Kang Yong’s look of “guess whether I believe it or not”, Qiao Lan simply gave up. “Just think of it as me asking for the coffee pot and cosmetics. Xiao Lin’s gifts touched my heart. You have to help me put in a word on this matter.”

“Okay, I understand ma’am.”

Kang Yong sat on the chair, drinking from the teapot directly from his mouth. He saw the letter next to him at a glance, which was all in English letters.

“Another letter from there?”

In the past, there was no news or correspondence, but in the past two years, our communications have become more and more frequent.

“Well, my cousin has not been in good health recently, and she has been missing home more and more. She wanted to come back if she had the chance. Now that the overall environment is better, it would be nice to come back and take a look.”

Kang Yong nodded. “I heard that it takes more than ten hours to fly back to China from her place, and she has to transfer in the middle. Can her body withstand such a hassle?”

“I am also worried about this. I have been trying to persuade her, fearing that she might come back with the idea of ​​returning to her roots.”

…………………………

Lin Chuxia planned to visit the steamed bun shop and talk to Qin Han about the house when she saw a familiar figure from afar.

The corners of his lips suddenly curved up, “Why are you back too?”

When Qin Yang saw his wife, he couldn’t help but smile, “Tomorrow is the weekend, so I can come back to see my parents.”

Lin Chuxia looked at him, obviously not believing him.

Qin Yang felt embarrassed when she looked at him, so he pressed her little head with five fingers and helped her turn.

Of course I came back to visit my parents, but that was just a side job. The most important thing was to find a wife.

In the past, when they were in the northwest, the two of them lived apart, and he had gotten used to living alone.

Even when Lin Chuxia occasionally went to the northwest to visit him, they had never had such a feeling after living together for two or three days.

On the first night after his wife left, he felt that the whole house was cold and lifeless. Even Yuanbao looked listless.

The day after my wife left, I missed her so much, and the food in the cafeteria was not tasty either.

I finally waited for the weekend, left work early and rode back home on a motorcycle.

When I got home, I didn’t see my wife. I knew she was either at the factory or at the bun shop. She sat with my parents for a while and then came out.

But it seems a bit embarrassing to say these things, so it’s better not to let my wife know.

Even if Qin Yang didn’t say it, Lin Chuxia had guessed it. The smile on her face never faded, and she felt a little sweet in her heart.

It is such a happy thing to be always thought of by the person you love.

“Let’s not go to the steamed bun shop, let’s go to the grocery store to buy meat, and then I’ll make braised pork for you when I get home.”

It’s not too late to talk about the bun shop matter after Qin Han comes back.

“Okay,” As long as I’m with my wife, I can go anywhere.

Neither of them rode a bike. Instead, they walked to the grocery store and bought some canned food and luncheon meat in addition to the meat.

There are fewer vegetables at this time of winter, and most of the vegetables sold are cabbage, potatoes and radishes. Lin Chuxia saw that the grocery store had celery and garlic sprouts, which are fresh vegetables these days, so she bought some.
