Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Where is Cai Jun?

Watching his stammering and somewhat shy demeanor, Sun Lanlan thought this guy must be sick.

The previous matter was merely the matchmaking of two people.

This had been initiated by Er Shunzi’s mother, and although her mother did not reject it outright, she pushed it away the next day without the two even meeting.

Besides, it had already been half a year.

"My mom feels it’s inappropriate, she wants me to marry someone closer," Sun Lanlan directly brought her mother into the argument.

Liu Dahui was slightly startled, not expecting this to be the reason.

His second aunt had clearly said it was because Sun Lanlan found a job in the city and looked down on country folks like them.

"It’s just over ten miles, not that far, Sun Lanlan, don’t you..."

"Sorry, this is my mom’s decision, and I listen to my mom in these matters," Sun Lanlan directly interrupted Liu Dahui.

"Sun Lanlan, I..."

Liu Dahui was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice.

"Lanlan, why haven’t you gone back yet? Who is this..."

Su Wensong directly stood between the two, shielding Sun Lanlan behind him.

"A customer," Sun Lanlan really couldn’t explain her relationship with Liu Dahui to Su Wensong.

They weren’t really related, and explaining would only make things murkier.

Su Wensong gave Liu Dahui a look, then said to Sun Lanlan, "I’ll walk you back."

Sun Lanlan did not refuse.

The two of them walked ahead, leaving Liu Dahui behind.

After walking away a bit, Su Wensong then asked, "Where’s Cai Jun?"

After it got cold last year, Cai Jun also applied to stay in the dormitory, sharing a room with Sun Bingnan.

Previously, several people would commute together, but in this period Sun Bingnan has been busy with the chicken farm and staying at home, only Cai Jun and Sun Lanlan commuted together.

"There were some leftover cooked dishes at the store today; he took them to the food factory," Sun Lanlan said.

Cooked dishes can’t be kept overnight, any remaining cooked foods need to be taken back to the factory for reprocessing.

This ensures the hygiene of such cooked dishes; the repeated cooking results in tender meat, which customers also like.

However, for the store, cooked dishes that are returned to be recooked several times end up costing more, significantly increasing the costs.

So, every day the amount of cooked dishes prepared by each shop is fixed, trying to control it just enough to sell out, though there are special circumstances.

Su Wensong naturally knew this; previously, processed cooked dishes were just taken back to the small courtyard after work, but now they had to be sent to the food factory.

"I’ll talk to Cai Jun tomorrow; the cooked dishes can be sent later, I’ll drop you off first."

Sun Lanlan, being a young girl, although the distance was not far, encountering a situation like today was still very dangerous.

Sun Lanlan looked at Su Wensong gratefully, she had to admit, she was somewhat scared just now.

"Thank you, Brother Su."

"You don’t have to be so formal with me."

Su Wensong walked Sun Lanlan to the courtyard gate, watched her enter, then turned back.

Sun Lanlan entered the courtyard, where two girls were washing up.

Su Wensong smiled and took the document, "Having an old one to use is already very good."

In the current market, new vehicles are in short supply, and very few individuals purchase cars. Even getting a used vehicle requires connections.

"Leave this to me, I’ll try to find you the best and cheapest one."

Lin Chuxia raised an eyebrow, "Factory Director Su’s connections are getting wider, aren’t they?"

Su Wensong sighed with a smile, "This is perhaps what they mean by ’no one inquires in a bustling city when you are poor, but distant relatives appear when you are wealthy in the mountains’. This is also thanks to Mr. Lin."

Originally, his family situation was poor, and as a youth sent to the countryside, others avoided him.

Even after returning to the city, as someone who lost his job, he didn’t even know where his future lay, let alone others.

Now, Lin Chuxia appointed him as the director of Xiyang Food Factory, and he emerged as an individual business owner; some previous connections gradually started to reconnect.

Su Wensong never felt there was anything wrong with people acting this way.

After interacting with Lin Chuxia, especially seeing how she conducted herself, Su Wensong increasingly understood a truth.

Interactions between people are essentially exchanges of benefits. Without sufficient capital, why should you care about others’ benefits, hoping that others will provide you with advantages?

When your own capital is sufficient to attract others’ attention, your path will become increasingly broader and smoother.

After leaving Lin Chuxia’s office, Su Wensong went back home first.

Passing by the Bun Shop, he saw a familiar figure inside.

He turned around and directly entered the Bun Shop.

Sun Lanlan was busy at the front desk; it had just passed mealtime, and there weren’t many people in the shop.

Su Wensong first looked at the person, then after confirming, he approached Sun Lanlan, "Does that person often come to the Bun Shop?"
