208 Together
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Yan’s thoughts wandered to how to tell her adoptive parents that she had accidentally met Yao Nian in the countryside, fell in love with him, and got married to him. When she got married, she would naturally return to her husband’s house. Everything would go according to plan. At that time, her adoptive parents wouldn’t be able to object.
After thinking this through, Yu Yan no longer felt conflicted. She lowered her eyes shyly and said, “Alright, since we’re already together, I won’t be so formal with you.”
When Yao Nian heard this, he tensed up. Did Yu Yan want him to take responsibility? As expected, Yu Yan had fallen for him, but what about Yu Bing?
Yao Nian was a little troubled. Although he liked Yu Yan a little, after all, Yu Yan had more things in common with him, compared to Yu Yan, Yu Bing could give him more benefits.
However, on second thought, Yao Nian wondered if Yu Yan would get angry and pursue what happened last night if he rejected her. If that happened, not to mention enjoying himself, he would be in jail for countless years.
A wise man submitted to circumstances. Yao Nian decided to agree to Yu Yan’s request for the time being. Yu Bing was always cold to him and it would take time to woo her, so he might as well agree to Yu Yan’s request and take it one step at a time.
Hence, the relationship between the two of them was settled by a freak combination of factors. However, because Yao Nian still had hopes for winning over Yu Bing, he used the excuse of being worried about others gossiping about the two of them to convince Yu Yan not to make the relationship public for the time being.
Yu Yan also had her own plans. After all, Yao Nian had an arranged marriage with Yu Bing. If she intercepted it, it would be bad if her parents’ impression worsened because of this. Hence, she didn’t think that Yao Nian’s reason was far-fetched. Instead, she happily agreed.
Feng Cai had obtained four one-year orders and obtained them at the price of the first supply. He didn’t lower the price just because it was a long-term cooperation. For this, he was praised by everyone at the meeting, especially Mr. Wei, who was filled with admiration for Feng Cai.
With multiple long-term orders, the food factory’s development had basically stabilized for the year. According to the contract, they would supply goods to City H once every three days. There would be 1,500 egg yolk pastries in every batch, 2,200 Snowflake Crisps, 1,000 purple sweet potato tacos, and 1,500 waffles. If there were any changes in the supply amount, they would communicate one month in advance.
Because of the independent packaging and disinfectant technology, the storage time of the products was extended correspondingly. Yu Bing planned to bring Feng Cai to the supply and marketing club in City Z.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June. The summer harvest was coming to an end. The duck seedlings had also been put into the farm as planned. The fish seedlings had already started production at the end of April. The entire ecological industry chain had been completed as planned. All that was left was to wait for the grapes and apples to ripen in August and September.
Yu Bing had also successfully obtained long-term orders from two supply and marketing companies in City Z. She rushed back to the village with Feng Cai and the other two. When she handed the contract orders to the finance office to settle, Yu Bing realized that Mr. Wei was alone.
Yu Bing asked, “Where’s Wen Qin?”
A trace of worry appeared on Mr. Wei’s face. “I don’t know. She didn’t come yesterday. I thought that there was a sudden emergency at home and she didn’t have the time to ask for leave, but she didn’t come today. I even told Director Zhao to go to her house in the afternoon to see what was going on. Tomorrow is the last day of the probation period. It’s not worth it to delay her promotion because of some disciplinary problems.”
The salary during the probation period was five yuan less than that of an official employee. This wasn’t a small sum of money.
Yu Bing thought of the rumors about the Sun family in her previous life and felt a little uneasy. “Alright, I’ll go with you guys this afternoon.”
When Yu Bing saw Mr. Wei’s expression, she couldn’t help but tease, “Previously, you refused to let Wen Qin take over your position. Now, it seems that you’re very satisfied with your disciple.”
Mr. Wei smiled in embarrassment and said in an admiring tone, “Wen Qin is indeed smart. She understands things very quickly! She’s humble, studious, and infers from others. It was quite easy to teach this apprentice. She has basically learned everything she needs to learn. If she doesn’t understand, she would ponder over it herself and ask me again. She can probably even manage the food factory alone.”
After Yu Bing heard Mr. Wei’s evaluation, she was relieved. The accounting method in agriculture was different from that in the food factory. It was more difficult. Moreover, as the variety and the orders increased, managing the food factory would also become more cumbersome and time-consuming. The accounts of the entire industrial chain were divided into two. Wen Qin was only in charge of the food factory, while Mr. Wei was still in charge of the rest.
