52 My Wife
“The new boss is replacing us? Poaching talents from the outside at a high price?” Everyone felt a sense of crisis. “But is it that easy to poach talented people? Don’t be fooled by others.”
“He wants new people, but that’s not the main point. It’s only because the current workers are not enough to cope with the future development,” Liu Chun explained patiently, “the boss just said that he’d be the one leading the Research and Development Center.
“Why is the name Research and Development Center? Why haven’t we heard of it before?”
That’s right. Isn’t calling it technical department good enough?”
“It’s not that the technology department is bad, but the factory is now private. The previous administrative unit could no longer be used. The Research and Development Center is a name used abroad. So, we can use it for now. Our conditions aren’t even qualified to be a Research and Development Center according to the minimum requirements. We can only set up a real Research and Development Center after the scale of our factory has expanded.”
The old technicians were all old workers who had worked for decades. They had never heard of the term “Research and Development Center ” before, so they were all confused.
“Will that work?”
“It will work! Don’t worry, everyone,” Liu Chun promised repeatedly, “Mr. Zhou could even build an airplane in the past, let alone a sewing machine or car.
Liu Chun was Zhou Hengyang’s childhood friend. They studied together and became pilots together. Later, Liu Chun retired because his physical condition could not keep up. Some time ago, Zhou Hengyang suddenly came looking for him and asked him to help.
Liu Chun agreed without even thinking.
He had absolute trust in Zhou Hengyang’s ability. In such a short time, no one knew how he managed to do it, but the machinery manufacturing factory had a new owner.
Zhou Hengyang’s money-making methods broadened Liu Chun’s horizons. However, he still felt that it was a pity. As long as he was alone, he wondered why Zhou Hengyang had retired.
As the most promising star, a special-class pilot, and an expert in the aerospace field, Liu Chun couldn’t imagine how much of a loss his retirement would be.
However, opening a machinery manufacturing factory also suited Zhou Hengyang.
After explaining to the technicians of the technical department, Liu Chun walked to Zhou Hengyang’s temporary office with relaxed steps. When he entered, he saw Zhou Hengyang writing a letter with his head lowered. “Who are you writing to?”
“My wife,” Zhou Hengyang didn’t even raise his head. His serious face didn’t have a single extra expression.
“You… Your wife? When did you get married? How come I didn’t know about it?” He had always lived in the provincial capital. Although his family could no longer survive and had moved out of the original courtyard, it was impossible for the news of the Zhou family’s eldest son’s marriage not to spread.
“I’m a live-in son-in-law.” Zhou Hengyang wrote the address on the envelope with his pen and stuck the stamp. Then, he stuffed 50 special tickets into the envelope. He sealed the envelope with glue and did not leave a single word behind.
Liu Chun almost fainted.
It was like a bolt from the blue!
“Y-y-you… The eldest son of the Zhou family is a live-in son-in-law?” Liu Chun’s entire body was trembling. “Does your father know? Does your grandfather know? How about your relatives and siblings?”
Liu Chun thought, “Heavens! Who would save him?”

“Was he crazy, or was Hengyang crazy?”
Zhou Hengyang lifted his head and frowned but didn’t intend to answer Liu Chun’s question. Instead, she handed the envelope to him. “Do me a favor and put it in the mailbox at the door.”
Liu Chun took it in a daze. His curiosity was like a cat’s scratch, but he also knew Zhou Hengyang’s character. This person had been tight-lipped since he was young. When he didn’t want to say anything, no one would ever be able to ask.
If he wanted to know, he could only investigate it himself.
Liu Chun glanced at the address on the envelope and was secretly delighted.

Just as Chen Guihua reported that Su Wen was taking advantage of the situation, and Zhou Hengyang was busy opening the machinery factory… Su Wen had already rushed to town with Su Xiu and started to make money by selling cakes.
This was Su Wen’s first time in town after she had transmigrated. She wasn’t familiar with the road conditions, but Su Xiu middle school was in town. So, she was very familiar with things there.
“Big sister, where are we going to sell them?” After Su Wen’s brainwashing along the way, Su Xiu no longer resisted selling things. Instead, she was full of confidence.
Big sister’s cake is so delicious. There would be people who want to buy it.
Su Wen thought about it. In this era, the only people who could be rich were either factory workers or the family members of cadres. However, the town couldn’t be compared with the county, and there probably weren’t any large-scale retirement homes. It was better to go to the place where the family members of the employees lived.
Other than factory workers, the rest were students. Life was so difficult now. Many families could not even fill their stomachs, let alone let their children go to school. Many children in the village did not go to school and helped with the housework at home.
The seven sisters of the Su family could go to school because they had good parents.
His mother was an educated youth, so she attached great importance to education. His father was an intelligent man. Looking at his way of doing things, he knew he was not an ordinary country bumpkin.
Therefore, those who could attend school were all well-off, and their parents valued their studies.
“Let’s go to the staff quarters now, then to the school at noon. At that time, the students will be out of school, and hungry students should be willing to spend one cent to buy a piece of cake for lunch.”
Su Wen’s words made Su Xiu’s eyes light up. “Yes, yes, sister. You’re right. Why didn’t I think of that?”
Then you’ll have to think more about it. We’ll sell the cake wherever these people live. In business, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you will definitely succeed,” This was a precious item, and most people would not be willing to spend money to buy it.
Su Wen’s words made Su Xiu’s mood a little down, and she said in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, big sister. Am I holding you back? You wouldn’t need to find a live-in husband if it weren’t for us.”
” Why is Third sister even more sentimental than Little sister?” Su Wen thought. Then, she said, “You’re thinking too much. I really like to find a live-in husband.”
Su Xiu looked at Su Wen in disbelief. Su Wen was speechless. The original character must have complained many times and even blamed her sisters.
Those words must not be pleasant to hear.
Thinking of this, she secretly cursed the original character.
Her younger sisters were lack of confidence, and she had to bear more than half of the responsibility for their weak characters.

“Do you like brother-in-law? You want him to be your man?” Su Xiu asked carefully.
arefully.
“I…” Su Wen swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She couldn’t be as irresponsible as the original character. If she said she didn’t like the male lead, Third sister would blame herself even more.
So, Su Wen tried her best to squeeze out a shy smile and said proudly, “I like him, of course. I like him.”
She thought about the male lead’s appearance, temperament, ability, identity, and background, especially the figure that was her taste. He looked cold on the surface but was a little devil on the inside. When he was with others, he was both affectionate and heartless. He would not let one down if they did not disappoint him.
That was also the reason why Su Wen wanted to gain the male lead’s favor. It was also because she could do it as his wife! As long as she didn’t get involved with Zhao Jiangang and played the role of the male lead’s wife well, she would always be the head of the family.
54 Taste
Only a blind person would not like this kind of man. She was a woman with a normal sense of aesthetics, and it was not like the original character was blind. But at this time, the male lead’s career should be starting.
The male protagonist’s three major business territories in the future, the Changhe Industries, was the Changhe Machinery Factory in the provincial capital in his previous life. As expected of the male protagonist of the live-in son-in-law. It had only been a short while, and he had already gotten a machinery factory.
It wouldn’t be long before people crazily snatched the Changhe brand bicycle and the sewing machines.
Su Xiu looked suspicious. She obviously didn’t believe Su Wen. She thought, “Big sister, you’ve been wronged. You must be forcing yourself to get married for our sake. I’ll treat big sister even better in the future, and I won’t let down big sister’s efforts.”
Su Wen held her forehead helplessly. How could she explain this?
“Sis!” Su Wen sighed.
“Big sister, I’m listening!”
“Let me ask you, can you find a man who is better looking than your brother-in-law in our village?” That was right. Su Wen was obsessed with looks.
Su Xiu gave it some serious thought and nodded.
“Brother-in-law is indeed very handsome. When father was alive, he said he would help you find the best-looking and most capable man. I believe that father’s taste is good” The person Su Xiu respected the most was Su Xuewen.
“Well! Since your brother-in-law is such a good man, I can’t wait to like him! Why would I feel wronged?”
“But…” Su Xiu was at a loss. She blushed in embarrassment. After all, she was only 17 years old. Although she was of marriageable age in the countryside, she was still a shy girl. She was not as hot-tempered as the original. When it came to liking her husband, she would be extremely shy.
However, she had kept these words in her heart for a long time.
“Alright, let’s stop talking and go sell our things! We won’t have enough time if we don’t go now,” She had made an appointment with He Changming to buy fur coats!
Selling things was the most important thing, so Su Xiu immediately snapped out of her thoughts and went to the staff quarters with Su Wen. At this time, it was the time for the residents to get up and go out to buy groceries and breakfast and for the employees to go to work. As soon as they arrived outside the family courtyard, they could see many pedestrians.
Su Wen also saw people carrying baskets to sell eggs and tofu. They were all very careful and didn’t dare to shout when buying things.
Su Wen knew that the country had already allowed free trade of agricultural products. In other words, they could sell things, and some places didn’t even need tickets to buy things unless they bought some rare items like machines.
After the two sisters arrived, they attracted much attention, especially Su Wen. She was beautiful and had a good temperament. She didn’t look like a country bumpkin at all. Instead, she looked like she came from the city.
“What are you selling, miss?” The lady who was selling eggs asked enthusiastically.
I’m selling cakes,” Su Wen looked at the lady with a smile and asked sweetly, “Auntie, do you want to buy it? It’s nutritious and delicious and can also help keep you from starving. You can’t find it in our village, only in the city!”
The lady was stunned and did not react for a long time.
She was there to sell things to the factory workers. She didn’t expect this pretty girl to want to sell the cakes to her.
She would not have that kind of money.
If she had money, she wouldn’t have to be so reluctant to eat her eggs and save up to sell them to others.
In fact, Su Wen was just doing a sales pitch out of habit. This was a habit she had developed from her part-time job at university. Once she started, she would immediately get into the zone. She had to promote her products to everyone she met. Only then would she be able to sell them.

However, it inspired her when she saw the lady’s stunned expression.
The cake was fluffy, unweighed, and made of eggs, oil, sugar, flour, and other good things. Even if it were in the countryside, one would be willing to buy two pieces to try.
“Auntie, I’ll give you a piece to try,” Su Wen’s attitude was generous, and she wasn’t stingy in doing business. She took out a small piece from the basket.
When she removed the clean cloth from the basket, a sweet and delicious aroma filled the air. The eggs these days were all authentic herbal eggs. They were delicious, to begin with. After they were made into a cake, they were even more fragrant.
One could smell the sweetness even from ten meters away.
