Chapter 1686

"Put the money away first, I'll take a shower. I've been tired all day and I'm all sweaty and smelly."

"Okay." Lin Xiuqing happily hugged the bag of money, looking around the room, pondering where to put it, and finally stuffed it under the bed.

The couple didn't go downstairs until they finished showering.

Seeing him come down, Ye Fu asked again, "Why were you in such a hurry to go upstairs as soon as you got back? We couldn't even talk much."

Ye Yaodong walked slowly to the sofa and sat down, "I was covered in sweat, smelly and tired. Didn't I hurry to take a shower to get comfortable? What couldn't wait until later?"

"Were there many people at the scene today? Did it go smoothly? Seeing how happy you were when you just got back, you must have received quite a few orders, right?"

Ye Dasao, Ye Ersao, and Ye Chenghu all pricked up their ears, and their bottoms also shifted closer to Ye Yaodong's position.

"It's okay, there were quite a few orders, and even more business cards collected. The main thing is that there are many potential customers. After the exhibition ends, we can contact them more, and we can still cash in quite a bit."

"That's good. Just one booth cost 100,000, plus quite a lot of manpower and material resources. We have to earn back several times that to break even."

The two sisters-in-law exclaimed, "100,000?"

"One spot costs 100,000?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at them without explaining, "How is your driver's license learning going?"

"I go to class every day, and I've read the little booklet given by the driving school. If I don't understand something, I ask Chenghu..."

Ye Chenghu hurriedly said, "Dad, I've read it all and I understand it. I think I can go take the test too. Why don't you sign me up for a driver's license as well? I'll go take one too?"

Ye Fu also agreed with a smile, "Yes, Chenghu can go learn too, he has read it all."

"He's not old enough. He has to be 18. Let's wait a few years."

"Ah? Still have to wait until 18? I can already drive a motorcycle, and there's an age requirement for a driver's license? My grandpa is so old and he can still go learn without restrictions, yet I'm so young and can't take the test?"

"You're too young."

Ye Fu comforted him, "It's okay, when I get my license, I'll teach you how to drive. You'll save the trouble of going to driving school, it's convenient."

"Okay, okay."

They hadn't even gotten their licenses yet, and the grandfather and grandson were already bragging and daring to teach, and the other was actually daring to learn. I'm impressed.

Ye Yaodong sneered, "You'd better get your own license first. You're still counting on others to take the test for you, and you haven't even started yet, but you want to teach others? You're harming people."

"Can't I teach them after I get my license? It's fine to teach a little. It's more convenient to practice with your own car. Over there, you have to queue with several people to practice driving."

"When will you have your own car?"

"Didn't you say you'd buy me one if I passed the test?"

"You haven't even started, yet you dare to promise anything. I think by the time you get a driver's license, you'll be able to open a driving school in the factory."

"Can I?"

"..."

The old lady slapped him, "What are you dreaming about? How many characters do you even know, and you dare to think like that?"

Ye Fu said unconvinced, "They drive tractors and motorcycles, didn't I teach them all? When I learn to drive a car, what's difficult about teaching them?"

Hearing this, the old lady hesitated a bit, thinking it seemed to make sense.

"Then... letting you teach them, it seems it could save some money?"

"Of course."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh out loud. The two old people were saying things even funnier than a child's babble.

"You're thinking too much. Even if you teach them, can you issue them driver's licenses? You still have to spend money to sign up for a driving school, go through the process, and get a license."

"Oh, right," Ye Fu slapped his forehead, "You have to get a license, I forgot."

Ye Chenghu asked again, "Then Dad, can I learn first? Learn how to drive, and then go get a license when I'm 18?"

"Logically, you can, but you'd better finish your studies first. If your grades aren't good, what are you dreaming about? You still want to learn to drive? Get lost and go to the sea."

Good grades, go to Shanghai; bad grades, go to the sea.

He gave a listless "oh" and rolled to the side to watch TV first.

Ye Yaodong asked again, "How is the new school? Are you used to it? Are they all locals in the class?"

"Basically all locals, there are only two or three from out of town, but they are all from nearby prefecture-level cities, and there is also one from Suzhou, which is across the province. It's just that I'm not used to listening to them speak the local dialect, but otherwise it's okay."

"Hmm, build good relationships with your classmates. You boys can arrange to play ball or something after class, and you'll naturally get to know each other."

"I'll see, I know."

School is a simple small society. For an out-of-town kid like him to integrate into it is also a challenge.

After caring about his son, he watched the news for a while and went upstairs. He had to get up early tomorrow.

Lin Xiuqing followed him back to the room after washing the clothes.

"I want to set up an office here in the Magic City, just as a distribution point. What do you think?"

Ye Yaodong suddenly popped this out. She was stunned just as she closed the door.

"Ah?"

"Next year, why don't you just bring the two children over and put them in school in the Magic City? Then you can manage the office here, and it'll be convenient for me to run back and forth. What do you think?"

"Why do you suddenly want to set up an office here?"

"I was thinking that there were quite a lot of guests at the exhibition today, and we received a stack of business cards. Many of them want to visit the factory. If there's an office here, it would be much more convenient. We can receive guests directly, establish contact, and guests can also find us directly. Then if they need to visit, the office here can handle it and arrange for guests to visit the factory."

"That makes sense."

"I just had a sudden idea. After the exhibition ends, I'll discuss it with Manager Qi, let them hold a meeting to discuss it, and then leave it to them to arrange. When you come to the Magic City, I'll leave it to you to hold the fort."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's wait until the meeting discusses and passes it, and it's implemented before we talk."

"Hmm, let's talk about it later."

Ye Yaodong lifted the quilt on the other side and patted the bed, asking her to come over and lie down.

"It's so hot, don't lean on me."

"I'll buy a few fans back tomorrow."

"Do you have time? It's almost autumn, it's comfortable morning and evening now, and we won't need them. Let's talk about it next year."

"Don't you mind that I'm hot leaning on you? I'll have Dad buy one back tomorrow first."

"Whatever you want..."

The couple's words were all in their actions, and they didn't talk about serious matters anymore.

The exhibition was still booming the next day, even exceeding the first day.

He didn't know about other booths, but their own booth had a surge in the number of people, and the order volume doubled. Everyone was busy like crazy, and they didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off their foreheads.

The number of people decreased on the third day, on par with the first day, so everyone finally had time to catch their breath.

After finishing work, everyone was exhausted.

"We'll have to bring twice as many people next year, otherwise we really won't be able to keep up."

"We lacked experience this year, but we'll have experience next year."

Although he didn't know if there would be a chance to participate again next year, it didn't hinder everyone from happily imagining next year.

"We made a fortune. There were so many guests, we received hundreds of business cards. Many guests said they wanted to visit the factory. It seems there will be more to be busy with later."

It's a good thing he sent his father to learn to drive. After he finishes learning in a few months, he'll equip his father with one, and it'll be impressive when picking up guests.

Now there are motorcycles in the factory, and two or three at a friend's place. It's convenient if there's a need to borrow one.

Ye Yaodong was extremely happy, "After we go back, distribute the business cards to the sales staff. Each person will be responsible for connecting with a few guests and take the initiative to contact them."

"Then the telephone..."

"Equip every workstation with a telephone. You handle this when we go back."

Manager Qi nodded repeatedly, "Okay."

"Give everyone a business trip subsidy for these few days, and have the finance department calculate it into the wages when we go back."

"Okay."

"Work's done, find a better restaurant and hold a celebration banquet."

"Hahaha, okay."

Not just them, other booths also happily finished work and prepared to hold celebration banquets.

The large and small restaurants near the hotel were basically all booked by the exhibition participants.

Ye Yaodong was still carrying a large bag of money and restrained himself from drinking, but Lin Xiuqing had a hard time and was teased by everyone to drink on his behalf.

She was also happy. In three days, she signed 4 or 5 million in orders, and it was very likely that it could double several times later. Their own family made a fortune.

Last year, the total annual turnover of the factory wasn't as much as these three days. She was also happy and didn't refuse anyone, drinking both beer and red wine.

Ye Yaodong didn't stop her at first, thinking she was happy and it was fine to drink a little. Since he wasn't drinking, he let her drink on his behalf.

Later, seeing that she had drunk too much, he stopped her from drinking, but she was still angry...

He couldn't stop her, so he had to give up and started winking at others. Everyone also held back, but she was already drunk and instead took the initiative to keep finding people to drink with.

In the end, she was carried out by Ye Yaodong in a drunken mess. Fortunately, there was a taxi.

"Husband... why are there two of you?"

"Adong... Adong... why are you so amazing... you are so amazing..."

Ye Yaodong held her and didn't let her move around, "Shh, we're in the car, we'll be home in a while."

Lin Xiuqing quieted down for a while, then started muttering again, "Husband, you are so amazing..."

Cough, if it weren't for being in the car, he would have wanted to respond with a few dirty jokes.

It was also fortunate that the driver didn't understand the dialect Lin Xiuqing was speaking and honestly stared ahead while driving.

In the car, Ye Yaodong could only coax her to be a little more well-behaved, pressing her head, holding her tighter, and not letting her move around.

It was hard to get home, so he hurriedly carried her down.

But she hugged his neck and kissed him.

He didn't expect that she would be like this when drunk, rubbing, hugging, touching, and kissing.

Ye Yaodong was happy but could only hold her and not let her move around. They still had to go inside, and the living room lights were still on.

"Be good, don't kiss for now, kiss when we get back to the room. There are people in the living room, let's be a little more well-behaved when we go in."

How could a drunk person listen? Her hand had already reached up from his shirt hem, and in a while, it would probably reach below.

He had to grab her two restless hands first, "Wait until we get back to the room, you can do whatever you want."

"No..."

He half-carried and half-dragged her into the iron gate. In the time it took to lock the door, his belt had been undone. She was twisting her body, and he couldn't stop her at all.

After locking the door, he hurriedly fastened his belt. The two of them were pulling back and forth, and his sweat was dripping down like beans. He only hated why there were so many people in the house today.

After finally fastening his belt again, he was already sweating profusely and hurriedly carried her on his back to go inside.

He couldn't do it without carrying her. He couldn't stop her restless hands by half-hugging her, so only by carrying her on his back could she be a little more well-behaved.

At this time, everyone was still in the living room watching TV. Seeing him come back carrying Aqing, they were all surprised.

"What's wrong? Why did you carry her back?"

"What's wrong with my mother?"

"She drank too much, I'll carry her upstairs first."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly changed his shoes, not even bothering to change her shoes, intending to carry her upstairs first. If he put her down, he didn't know if she would start touching him all over.

"Why did she drink so much..."

"She drank on my behalf."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly carried her up to the 3rd floor and put her on the bed, but she was like a dead pig, turned over, and didn't react at all...

He patted her cheek, "Wife... wife... Aqing... Aqing..."

"Don't be noisy..."

She pulled the quilt over, buried her head in it, and went to sleep again...

"Damn it..."

Ye Yaodong lifted his shirt hem to cover his face, wiped his sweat, and was speechless.

He was happy and excited just now that she was so enthusiastic when drunk, but it was all for nothing. Now she was like a dead pig.

He took off his clothes, unbuckled his belt, and intended to take a shower first, and talk after showering.

Anyway, he could sleep until he woke up naturally tomorrow, and he would toss and turn slowly after he finished showering!

When Lin Xiuqing woke up the next day, she pinched him hard several times, and drank several gulps of herbal tea because her throat was uncomfortable.

Ye Yaodong laughed and hurriedly coaxed her, "We've been busy for several days and you're exhausted. Sleep a little longer, I'll go bring you breakfast."

She glared at him, didn't speak, and lay back down with a headache.

"No more drinking next time!"

"Hehe, it's okay, you can drink when I'm around, don't drink when I'm not."

Lin Xiuqing picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at him.

Ye Yaodong caught the pillow and happily put it back at the head of the bed.

"You go take a shower first, I'll go bring you your meal, sleep a little longer after eating."

He happily went downstairs to bring her food.

Men, as long as they are happy and satisfied, they can do anything.

Seeing him so happy, the old lady said with a smile, "Finally finished, you must have earned quite a bit, right? We've been playing everywhere these few days, Aqing didn't get to play, now that you're finished, you two can go shopping everywhere."

"Okay, I know."

"We'll go back after you've played enough."

They were busy until the 8th, and the others also played until the 8th.

During these few days of being busy with the exhibition, everyone went out to find places to play on their own every day, not bored at all, and even used up two rolls of film.

Ye Fu interjected, "Your two sisters-in-law want to return to Zhoushan. I said I'd wait until you're finished, you see when to go back."

"Then let the two of them take the boat back first."

"They don't really dare to take the boat alone."

"Then let them wait."

Ye Yaodong brought the food upstairs first.

The money and orders brought back last night hadn't been organized yet. He let Lin Xiuqing eat first, while he counted the money and organized the orders himself.

"Now that everything is finished, when are we going back?"

"Don't rush, I'll take you to play for a few days, then we'll go back."

"It doesn't matter if I play or not, anyway it's not the first time I've been here, and I've basically been to all the places I should go. It's just that I'm a little worried about my son, and I'm hesitating whether to stay for a few more days or go back directly. I'm also worried that staying for too many days will affect you. After all, the exhibition just ended, and the factory is probably very busy, and there are guests to arrange..."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Later, hand over the orders and business cards to Manager Qi, let him take them back, and leave the arrangements to him. I'll stay here for two more days. I still have to go to the machinery factory to have a look, and see if the new machines can be shipped back together in these two days. And in these two days, you take care of your son more? Go back after you're at ease?"

"That's also fine, as long as it doesn't affect you."

"It won't affect me. I was originally going to let them go back to the factory first, I want to see the progress of the machines, only when I get them early can I arrange the shipment."

"Then I'll go with you, no need to shop anywhere else, serious business is important."

"Okay, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law want to return to Zhoushan early, then let them go back with Manager Qi and the others later. The old lady will stay for a few more days. She must be tired from running outside every day, so let her rest here for a few more days, and go back with us."

"Okay."

The couple discussed it, and after eating, they brought the empty bowls downstairs and told everyone. Everyone had no objections.

The two sisters-in-law happily went to pack their luggage.

"Dad, after I'm finished and take the old lady back, you and Chenghu move to Pudong to live. Whether it's the farmhouse or the rented house there, you can choose whichever you want to live in."

"Ah? We can't live in this house anymore?"

"Chenghu feels that going to school is too far and wants to live closer. You guys just go live in Pudong. If you want to come back and live here on weekends, then come back."

"Okay. Then when are you sending them home?"

"How about this, in these two days I'll arrange for someone to help you finish the theory test, and you go back to Zhoushan with us. When you send a shipment home, take them back together, and when you come back, you can practice driving in the Magic City."

"That's also fine, then what about Chenghu?"

"There's Wang Jiale watching over in Pudong, let him look after Chenghu. Anyway, he only needs to manage three meals a day, and Chenghu is at school the rest of the time."

"That's also good."

After Ye Yaodong gave them instructions, he took a bag of money, prepared to deposit it in the bank first, and then sent the two sisters-in-law to the hotel to meet up with Manager Qi.

After sending them away, he and Lin Xiuqing turned to the machinery factory. Besides urging for the delivery of the machines, he also had to place new orders.

This wave of the exhibition took 4 or 5 million in orders in just three days, and there were many potential customers. The current equipment had to be increased to support the future order volume.

He could also be considered a fixed large customer, so they prioritized his arrangements, and the machines he needed were arranged for shipment the next day.

And he also took the time to go to the Jiangnan Shipyard to urge for the ship. After receiving the promise that they would deliver the 70-meter fresh-fish collection ship to him as soon as they started work after the New Year, he was satisfied.

It was only a little over 4 months until after the New Year, which could be considered fast.

Lin Xiuqing was extremely shocked when she went to such a large shipyard for the first time, especially when she saw that 70-meter super-large fresh-fish collection ship. She felt incredibly small standing on it.

After returning home, she dared to ask, "Before, you said our Dongyu No. 1 was the largest in the whole port. Didn't they say later that the fishery company built another large ship? When this fresh-fish collection ship is in hand, won't this ship become the largest?"

"The new fresh-fish collection ship built by the fishery company is also 70 meters, 1500 tons. Ours will be about the same as theirs, tied for first."

"Too amazing... you are really too amazing..."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, grabbed her hand, and rubbed it against his crotch, "I'm also amazing here."

"Don't be improper, I'm talking to you about serious business."

"What I said is also serious business."

"Are we returning to Zhoushan tomorrow? Have all the things been handled?"

"About the same, do you want to go shopping or play somewhere?"

"No, let's go back quickly, serious business is important. The factory still needs you. Since the important things are done, let's go back quickly."

"Okay, then let's go back tomorrow."

"I see the old lady has also started to get bored these two days, only looking after the vegetables in the courtyard every day."

"She's played all she should play, and she can't run outside every day, her body can't take it. There are still vegetables in the courtyard for her to look after, so she won't be bored."

After the old lady knew they were returning to Zhoushan, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then return to Zhoushan tomorrow and stay for two days, then go home, okay? We've stayed for so many days, it's time to go back."

"Can't stay anymore, right?"

"Everything here is good, it's convenient to buy anything, it's just that there's no one to talk to. Sigh, I can't understand what anyone says, and I have to gesture to people when I go out, it's too much of a hassle. Home is still better, sitting there without moving, just listening to everyone talk makes me feel happy."

Isn't it happy? That pile of women gossiping about this and that every day, a pile of endless things to talk about.
