Chapter 186: Lin Wei's Confusion
After discussing the main matter, Chen Yang brought Ouyang Sheng and his girlfriend to tour the production workshop of the Old Hundred Surname Meat Industry Company. He felt that letting Ouyang Sheng understand the entire production process would allow him to better promote the product later.
Ouyang Sheng and his girlfriend watched the workers' production process without blinking, occasionally asking Chen Yang questions about raw material selection, cutting, and processing. Chen Yang then had Song Yajun carefully answer their doubts.
After touring the production workshop, they went to the warehouse. Chen Yang casually opened several boxes of different-flavored sausages, letting Ouyang Sheng and his girlfriend sample them together.
After sampling the three flavors of sausage, Ouyang Sheng felt confident about promoting these products throughout Qingshui City.
"Boss, I guarantee I'll complete the task in half a year with our product's packaging and quality!"
"Don't boast, I only look at results." Chen Yang didn't want to dampen Ouyang Sheng's enthusiasm, but he also didn't want him to become overconfident. After all, Ouyang Sheng was still a rookie who had just come out of training class. Even with his parents' connections opening doors, smooth sailing was impossible.
"Boss, just wait for my good news!" Ouyang Sheng's mind was filled only with Chen Yang's black Audi car. With a luxury car, he could show off in front of relatives and friends. As for other problems, he truly didn't care.
Seeing Ouyang Sheng's excited expression, Chen Yang knew further talk would be redundant. He called Zheng Yun over, asking him to specialize in coordinating with Ouyang Sheng's work from now on.
Zheng Yun and Ouyang Sheng both came from the military, sharing common topics. Moreover, Zheng Yun was very familiar with the Old Hundred Surname Agricultural Products Trading Company's business in Qingshui City, so pairing them together made Chen Yang more at ease.
After arranging the promotion task for the Old Hundred Surname Sausage Brand, Chen Yang invited them to have lunch together, then packed another portion for Lin Wei to take home.
"Husband, I forgot to tell you something: Zhang Chunhua's older brother has returned. Yesterday, when I went to work, I happened to see him talking with Zhang Chunhua outside the government office building."
"What's his older brother like?"
"I don't know; I didn't greet them."
"If you didn't greet them, how do you know it's his older brother?"
"He looks very much like him, scolding Zhang Chunhua just like scolding a grandson—if it's not his older brother, could it be his father?"
……
Chen Yang called Zhang Chunhua.
"Secretary Zhang, my wife said your older brother has returned?"
"Yes! He also wants to live in Qingshui City, so I need to find him a job that can make a living. As a secretary, where am I supposed to find work for him? Sigh..."
"Secretary Zhang, that's your mistake. Your older brother wants a good life; as his younger brother, you should fully support him. If there's no suitable job arrangement, let him work at my store for now."
"This…… isn't good! My sister-in-law's matter has already troubled you once."
"It's not a trouble, as long as your older brother doesn't mind the work being too hard."
"My older brother has always been a farmer; he's used to rough and hard labor."
"Then that's fine. Discuss it with him, and when it's convenient, go directly to that store at Shuanglin Market to report for work."
"Chen Yang, thank you; I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
"Okay, I'll hang up now, goodbye!"
Lin Wei saw Chen Yang arranging for Zhang Chunhua's older brother to work at the Old Hundred Surname Agricultural Products Supermarket and felt it was a bit improper. "Husband, Secretary Zhang's older brother doesn't seem like someone content with an ordinary life. Having him do odd jobs at the supermarket might invite complaints."
Chen Yang said with an indifferent expression: "I didn't force him to work; if he doesn't want to, he can leave anytime. As long as Zhang Chunhua appreciates my favor, that's enough."
"You jerk, how have you become so petty!" Lin Wei gave Chen Yang a sideways glance, then continued eating.
Chen Yang laughed and said, "In business, having more friends is never a bad thing." After saying that, he picked up his phone and called Huang BaiMing.
"President Huang, my meat company has recently launched three new sausage flavors; I don't know if your supermarket still has spare shelf space."
"President Chen, I've already greeted the person in charge over at Qingshui City. Your company's products can be delivered anytime."
"Then thank you, President Huang; I'll treat you to a meal when I return to Xingcheng."
"President Chen, we're now partners; saying that is too formal!"
"Alright, let's meet again when we return to Xingcheng!"
After hanging up, Chen Yang boasted to Lin Wei: "How's that? This is the benefit of having many friends."
"Sure, my husband is the best!" Lin Wei gave Chen Yang a thumbs-up. Although she comes from a better background and once served as the university student union president, when compared to Chen Yang in handling worldly affairs, she indeed feels inferior.
Regarding her and Chen Yang secretly obtaining their marriage certificate, initially only Lin Feng and Du Yue'e were on their side; everyone else opposed them. Now even the most steadfastly opposed Lin family patriarch has tacitly accepted Chen Yang's status.
Of course, Lin Wei also has her doubts. Obviously, during his studies Chen Yang was just a dullard who only knew how to bury himself in work, yet after graduation he turned into a social butterfly. Obviously, he didn't date anyone throughout four years of college, but after getting married to her his peach blossom luck has been nonstop.
Moreover, Chen Yang's money-making ability suddenly became terrifying. In less than three months, his assets grew from zero to several hundred million.
This is too absurd, too fantastical, like a dream.
Lin Wei pinched Chen Yang's cheek, feeling that beneath his handsome facade lay an unreal soul.
"Honey, what are you doing?" Chen Yang also pinched Lin Wei's cheek, but he didn't have the heart to use as much force as she did.
"Nothing, I just think you're super handsome!" Lin Wei said coquettishly, tightly embracing Chen Yang and quickly kissing his cheek. Then, she lifted the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly yet charming smile, and softly said, "Dear husband, why don't I help you give birth to a cute little Chen Yang?"
Hearing that, Chen Yang didn't even think, directly refusing: "No!"
You should know, they had just experienced an intense bout of intimacy last night. At this point, he is utterly exhausted in certain aspects and urgently needs proper rest to recover his energy.
Furthermore, regarding having children, he knows in his heart as clear as a mirror—that what Lin Wei just said is eight or nine times out of ten not sincere.
Last time, taking advantage of Lin Wei's drunkenness, Chen Yang carefully poked a tiny hole in a condom, hoping to conceive the fruit of love. Who could have expected that Lin Wei secretly took birth control pills behind his back, resulting naturally in a futile effort—letting him be happily mistaken for a long period.
Seeing Chen Yang unresponsive to her beauty and allure, Lin Wei wasn't discouraged; she merely shrugged lightly, then turned back to her desk to continue burying herself in her pending materials.
Lin Wei's current daily life consists of nothing besides her newlywed husband Chen Yang and nonstop work.
