Since he was unfamiliar with Lin Chuxia, he approached Zhang Guilan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang’s father had three siblings; Mr. Qin was the second eldest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eldest uncle of the Qin family’s home, there were three brothers; the eldest, Qin Liang, was also the eldest brother among all the cousins, and he’s already past 40. His eldest son, Qin Jianjun, is nearly 20 now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second, Qin Jiang, father of Qin Jianye, whose wife Xu Yun teaches at the village elementary school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youngest, Qin Wen, was the second most successful among the brothers, apart from Qin Yang. He now works at the counter in the county Hardware Company, earning a salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncle only had one son, Qin Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuxia had a deep impression of him; he was the tractor driver when she married Qin Yang, who always affectionately called him Xiao Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that they were of the same age, and among all the cousins, Qin Yang and Qin Wu got along best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s also Niuniu’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the staffing, more recruitment was necessary for the new branch opening, so she made provisions to include them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The work at the branch continued methodically, and Qin Yang, far away in the Northwest, faced a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Qin, don’t you think your views are a bit radical? At present, this level of technical difficulty is almost insurmountable for us, and you know our decisions affect the workers’ safety. Even a minor error could lead to irrevocable damage; this doesn’t seem like your style.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh out of the meeting, Bai Xiaoming couldn’t help but raise his concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time in their five-year partnership he had questioned Qin Yang’s judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaoming felt his plan was too perilous, unsafe for the workers, and unwise for his old friend’s career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang stopped walking, looking toward the distant construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was turning colder, which would usually slow their progress soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His calm gaze carried a touch of determination, \"You said it yourself, our current technology doesn’t allow it. Aren’t we in this field to tackle just such technical challenges?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, we need to be realistic. Weren’t things good the way they were? Steady and substantial, each step solid. Since when did you start caring about the intangible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang glanced sideways, \"There’s nothing intangible, as long as we overcome it, it becomes tangible. If we don’t, someone else will, and technology never stands still.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let someone else do it; can’t you see? Our team isn’t capable of such things; they can’t support your ambition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaoming really couldn’t understand; wasn’t everything good as it was? Everything they did was verifiable, all achievements were tangible, and their whole technical team in the project department was even recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Qin Yang’s actions were digging his own grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Yang silently looking at him, Bai Xiaoming softened his tone, \"If you want your sister-in-law by your side, I can help you. I’ve told you before, I can manage to get a spot; you can’t just ignore people’s lives because of personal feelings, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that this workaholic, once married and with a family, might have calmed down a bit. Instead, after the sister-in-law visited for two days, he went even crazier than before, treating his work even more fervently as his beloved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he pouring all his longing for his wife into his work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he wanted to file a report right now to apply for a familial support spot, to get her here sooner to divert this guy’s focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang silently retracted his gaze, \"How do we know something won’t work without trying it? Xiaoming, you’re getting old; I’m not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did indeed do everything for Lin Chuxia, to be transferred closer to her, but it was also for his beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For years he and his colleagues had been overly cautious, lacking the explorative spirit of technicians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he wanted to grow stronger, break through technological barriers, and surpass himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said Lin Chuxia gave him the courage and motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaoming, left behind, was perplexed: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s old?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s only thirty; he thinks he’s old?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a month of renovations, the new store was finally ready to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was great on that day, and Lin Chuxia had the staff up early for preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Han, Su Wensong, Qin Wu, and Sun Bingnan, the men, were busy hanging red paper, installing plaques, decorations, and preparing fireworks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was a branch, both its location and scale were significantly better than the original, and the opening needed to be grand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the impact Lin Chuxia wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the train station bun shop opened, she had no foundation or experience, but now, whether it’s Qin’s buns or Qin’s Cooked Food, both had made a name for themselves in Ancheng County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new store’s opening needed to leverage everything to reach a new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything outside was ready, and inside the bun shop was completely new, cleaned thoroughly again that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of steamer baskets filled with buns, steaming hot, and the ready-to-eat dishes looked very appetizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff in the shop wore uniform white aprons, white sleeves, and white sanitary hats, emphasizing neatness, cleanliness, and hygiene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, only Sun Lanlan, Granny Sun, and Cai Jun stayed at the old shop, the rest were at the new store to boost sales for the opening day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the auspicious hour, nearly a hundred people had already gathered outside the shop, knowing it was the opening of Qin’s Bun Shop’s new branch and that there would be a 10% discount on the opening day, eager to try the buns and dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuxia today was clad in a wine-red sweater with a white shirt collar visible at the round neckline, a beige jacket, black trousers, and low-heeled leather shoes. Her hair was styled into a five-strand scorpion braid, making her look neat and efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also wandering inside and outside the shop, checking for any shortages and having them replenished promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when she walked out to check her watch, there were less than twenty minutes to the auspicious time, and nearly a hundred people were gathered outside the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the clientele in the city was better than at the train station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze shifted, and she spotted two familiar figures in the crowd, truly distinguished by their shiny bald heads...\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-05-30T16:21:23.339Z","2026-06-01T04:31:41.192Z",1,"novelbin.me","d92fdc6446bf8d454592579a8d63fe123cc50e32fa3c2cb3800109387288e06b","switched-marriage-the-coddled-little-wife-chapter-115","switched-marriage-the-coddled-little-wife-chapter-113",810,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fswitched-marriage-the-coddled-little-wife-cover.jpg"]
