Chapter 1655 After finishing my work
"Put the money away first. I need to take a shower. I'm exhausted after a long day and I smell of sweat."
"Hey." Lin Xiuqing happily hugged the bag of money, searching all over the room, wondering where to put it, but in the end she stuffed it under the bed.
The couple waited until they finished showering before going downstairs.
When Ye's father saw him come down, he asked again, "Why did you rush upstairs as soon as you got back? You couldn't even say a few words."
Ye Yaodong slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. "I'm covered in sweat, smell terrible, and exhausted. I should go take a shower and relax first. Can't we talk about this later?"
"Were there many people here today? Did it go smoothly? You all looked so happy when you got back, so quite a few people must have placed orders, right?"
Sister-in-law Ye, Sister-in-law Ye, and Ye Chenghu all perked up their ears and moved closer to Ye Yaodong's position.
"It's alright. There are quite a few orders, and even more business cards from the deliveries. The main thing is that there are many potential customers. We can contact them more after the exhibition ends and make a lot of money from them."
"That's good. Just one stall cost 10 yuan, plus a lot of manpower and resources. We'll have to earn back several times that amount to break even."
The two sisters-in-law exclaimed in surprise, "One hundred thousand?"
"10 for just one spot?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at them but didn't explain. "How's your driver's license learning going?"
“I went to one class every day, and I read all the brochures the driving school gave me. If I didn’t understand something, I would ask Chenghu…”
Ye Chenghu quickly said, "Dad, I've learned everything. I think I can take the test too. Why don't you sign me up for a driver's license test so I can take one as well?"
Mr. Ye also chimed in with a smile, "Yes, Chenghu can go and learn too. He's already learned it all from watching."
"He's not old enough yet. He has to wait until he turns 18. Maybe in a few years."
"Huh? I have to wait until I'm 18? I can already ride a motorcycle, and there's an age requirement for a driver's license? My grandpa is so old, and he can still learn to drive without any restrictions. How come I'm so young and can't take the test?"
"You're too inexperienced."
Ye's father comforted him, "It's okay, I'll teach you to drive after I pass the test, so you won't have to go to driving school, which will save you the trouble."
"Yeah."
Before even getting their driver's licenses, the grandfather and grandson were already boasting and daring to teach, while the other was actually willing to learn. I have to admire them.
Ye Yaodong scoffed, "You should take the exam first. You still need someone else to take the exam for you. You haven't even settled on anything yet, and you're already trying to teach others? You're just harming people."
"Can't I teach after I pass the test? It's no big deal to teach a little. It's more convenient to practice with my own car. There are always several people queuing up to practice over there."
When will I have a car?
"You're not going to buy it for me if I don't tell you I took the test?"
"It's not even close to being a done deal, yet you're willing to agree to anything. I bet once you get your driver's license, you could open a driving school right here in the factory."
"May I?"
"..."
The old lady slapped him across the face. "You're dreaming! You know a few words, and you dare to think like that?"
Ye's father retorted, unconvinced, "Didn't I teach them how to drive tractors and motorcycles? Once I've learned to drive a car, what's so difficult about teaching them?"
The old lady hesitated again after hearing this, thinking that what was said seemed to make sense.
"Well... having you teach them seems like it could save some money?"
"of course."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh out loud; the two old men's words were even funnier than children's childish talk.
"You're overthinking it. Even if you teach them, can you still issue them driver's licenses? They still have to spend money to enroll in a driving school, go through the procedures, and get their licenses."
"Oh right," Mr. Ye slapped his forehead, "I need a driver's license for this, I completely forgot."
Ye Chenghu asked again, "Dad, can I learn to drive first, and then get my driver's license when I turn 18?"
"Logically, it's possible, but you'd better finish your studies first. If your grades aren't good, you can forget about it. You want to learn to drive? Get out to sea."
Good grades, go to Shanghai; bad grades, go to sea.
He gave a listless "oh" and went to watch TV instead.
Ye Yaodong then asked, "How are you doing at the new school? Are you settling in well? Are all the students in your class locals?"
"They are mostly locals, with only two or three from other places, but they are all from nearby prefecture-level cities, and there is one from Suzhou City, which is from another province. It's just that I'm not used to their local dialect, but otherwise it's fine."
"Yeah, build good relationships with your classmates. You boys can arrange to play ball or something after class, and you'll naturally become familiar with each other."
"See? I know."
The school is a small, simple society, and it's quite a challenge for him, a boy from out of town, to integrate into it.
After checking on his son, he watched the news for a while and then went upstairs, as he had to get up very early the next morning.
After washing her clothes, Lin Xiu followed her back to her room.
"I'm thinking of setting up an office here in Shanghai, just as a distribution point. What do you think?"
Ye Yaodong suddenly blurted out that sentence, and she was stunned for a moment as soon as she closed the door.
"what?"
"Next year, why don't you just bring both kids over and have them attend school in Shanghai? Then you can manage the office here, which will make it easier for me to travel back and forth. What do you think?"
"Why do you suddenly want to set up an office here?"
"I thought there were quite a lot of visitors at the exhibition today, and I received a stack of business cards. Many of them wanted to visit the factory. It would be much more convenient to have an office here. We could directly receive visitors, make contact, and they could come directly to us. If they wanted to visit the factory, the office here could handle it and arrange for them to visit the factory."
"Makes sense."
"I just suddenly had an idea. After the exhibition, I'll discuss it with Manager Qi, have them hold a meeting to discuss it, and then let them make the arrangements. If you come to Shanghai then, I'll leave it to you to oversee things."
"Let's talk about it later. Let's wait until it's discussed and approved in the meeting before implementing it."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Ye Yaodong lifted the blanket on the other side, patted the bed, and gestured for her to come and lie down.
"It's so hot, don't come near me."
"I'll go buy a few fans tomorrow."
"Are you free? Autumn is coming soon, and it's comfortable in the mornings and evenings now, so we won't need it. Let's talk about it next year."
"Don't you think it's too hot for me to be pressed against you? I'll have Dad buy one tomorrow."
"I don't care..."
The couple's words were conveyed through their actions, and they stopped talking about serious matters.
The exhibition was just as popular on the second day, even surpassing the first day.
I don't know about other stalls, but their own stall saw a surge in customers and orders doubled. Everyone was working like crazy, sweating profusely but not even having time to wipe it off.
On the third day, the number of people decreased again, reaching the same level as the first day, and everyone finally had a chance to catch their breath.
Everyone was exhausted after finishing work.
"We'll need to bring twice as many staff next year, otherwise we really won't be able to keep up with the workload."
"We lacked experience this year, but we'll have experience next year."
Although we don't know if we'll have the chance to participate again next year, that doesn't stop everyone from happily imagining what next year will bring.
"We've made a killing! So many customers, we've received hundreds of business cards, and many customers have said they want to visit the factory. We're probably going to be very busy from now on."
Luckily, I sent his dad to learn to drive. After he finishes learning in a few months, I'll equip him with a car so he can make a more impressive impression when picking up or dropping off guests.
The factory has motorcycles, and friends also have two or three, so it's convenient to borrow them if needed.
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed. "When we get back, I'll distribute the business cards to the sales staff, and each person will be responsible for contacting a few customers and taking the initiative to reach out to them."
"That phone call..."
"Each person will be provided with a phone at their workstation. You can handle this when you get back."
Manager Qi nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
"I'll give you a travel allowance for the next few days. I'll have the finance department add it to your salary when I get back."
"Ok."
"Let's wrap up and find a nice restaurant to have a celebration banquet."
"Hahaha, okay."
Not only them, but the other stall owners also happily finished work and prepared to have a celebration banquet.
The restaurants near the hotel were basically all booked by the exhibitors.
Despite carrying a large bag of money, Ye Yaodong refrained from drinking, but Lin Xiuqing faced a difficult situation, as everyone egged her on to drink in his place.
She was also happy, having secured orders worth four or five million in just three days, with a high probability of them multiplying several times over, making her family a huge profit.
Last year, the factory's total revenue didn't even reach the amount generated in these three days. She was happy to accept all comers, drinking both beer and wine.
Ye Yaodong didn't stop her at first, thinking that it was a good time to drink, and since he hadn't drunk any himself, he let her drink for him.
Later, when I saw she had drunk too much, I tried to stop her from drinking, but she got angry...
They couldn't stop her, so they gave up and started giving signals to the others, who stopped too. But she got drunk and started actively seeking out other people to drink with.
Finally, he got so drunk that Ye Yaodong carried him out, thankfully there was a taxi.
"Honey...how come you have two?"
"Ah Dong... Ah Dong... How can you be so amazing... You're so incredible..."
Ye Yaodong put his arm around her, preventing her from moving around, and said, "Shh, we're in the car, we'll be home soon."
After a brief silence, Lin Xiuqing began to mutter again, "Honey, you're so amazing..."
Sigh, if we weren't in the car, he would have liked to respond with a few dirty jokes.
Fortunately, the driver couldn't understand Lin Xiuqing's dialect and obediently kept his eyes on the road ahead while driving.
In the car, Ye Yaodong could only coax her to behave, pressing her head down and holding her tightly to keep her from moving around.
We finally got home, and I quickly carried her down.
She hugged his neck and kissed him.
I never expected her to be like this when she's drunk; she's been rubbing against me, hugging me, touching me, and kissing me.
Ye Yaodong was so happy that he could only hold her and not let her move around. They were going to go inside later, and the living room lights were still on.
"Sweetie, don't kiss yet. Let's wait until we get back to the room. There are people in the living room right now, so let's go inside and behave ourselves."
A drunk person can't listen to reason. Her hand had already reached up his shirt, and in a moment it would probably reach down.
He had no choice but to grab her restless hands first, saying, "Let's go back to the room first, then you can do whatever you want."
"don't want……"
He half-carried, half-dragged the person into the iron gate. In the short time it took to lock the gate, the belt was already unbuckled, and he couldn't stop him even by twisting his body.
After locking the door, he quickly fastened his belt. The two of them tugged at each other, and he was sweating profusely. He just wished there were more people in the house today.
After finally managing to fasten his belt again, he was drenched in sweat and quickly carried her on his back into the house.
I have to carry her on my back; half-hugging and half-carrying her won't stop her fidgeting hands, so only carrying her on my back can keep her quiet.
At this time, everyone was still watching TV in the living room, and they were all surprised to see him come back carrying Aqing on his back.
"What's wrong? Why did you bring it back?"
"What happened to my mother?"
"He drank too much, I'll carry him upstairs first."
Ye Yaodong quickly changed his shoes, not even bothering to change hers, intending to carry her upstairs first. If he put her down, he didn't know if she would attack him from head to toe.
"Why are you still drinking so much..."
"He drank it for me."
Ye Yaodong hurriedly carried her up to the third floor and put her on the bed, but she was as still as a dead pig; she turned over but didn't react at all...
He patted her cheek, "Wife...wife...Aqing...Aqing..."
"Don't make a sound..."
She pulled the blanket over herself, buried her head in it, and went back to sleep...
"I go……"
Ye Yaodong lifted his shirt to cover his face, wiped away his sweat, and was speechless.
He was so excited about her being so enthusiastic even though she'd had too much to drink, but all that joy went to waste. Now he's like a dead pig.
He took off his clothes, unbuckled his belt, and planned to take a shower first, and then talk about it.
Anyway, I can sleep in tomorrow, and then we can slowly do whatever we want after he takes a shower!
……
When Lin Xiuqing woke up the next day, she pinched him hard several times and gulped down several mouthfuls of cold tea because her throat was sore.
Ye Yaodong chuckled and quickly coaxed, "You've been busy for several days and you're exhausted. Sleep a little longer, and I'll bring you breakfast."
She glared at him, said nothing, and lay back down, her head aching.
"I won't drink next time!"
"Hehe, it's okay. You can drink when I'm around, but 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 on the bedside table.
"Go take a shower first, I'll bring you your food, and then you can sleep for a while after you eat."
He happily went downstairs to bring her food.
Men will do anything as long as they're happy and satisfied.
Seeing how happy he was, the old lady smiled and said, "Finally finished with your work. You must have made a lot of money, right? We've been traveling around these past few days, but Qing didn't get to do anything. Now that we're done, you two can go sightseeing."
"Yes, I know."
"We'll go back after you've had your fun."
They were busy until the 8th, and the others also played until the 8th.
During these busy days at the exhibition, everyone went out to find places to have fun on their own every day, so we weren't bored at all, and we even used up two rolls of film.
Father Ye interjected, "Your two sisters-in-law want to go back to Zhoushan. I told them to wait until you're done with your work and then see when they can go back."
"Then let the two of them take the boat back first."
"They're too scared to travel alone on the boat."
"Then wait."
Ye Yaodong took the food upstairs first.
He hadn't sorted out the money and orders he brought back last night, so he told Lin Xiuqing to eat first while he counted the money and sorted out the orders himself.
"Now that everything's finished, when are we going back?"
"No rush, let me show you around for a few days, then we'll go back."
“I don’t care whether I participate or not. It’s not my first time here anyway, and I’ve been to most of the places I wanted to visit. I’m just a little worried about my son and I’m hesitating whether to stay a few more days or go back directly. I’m also worried that staying too long will affect you, since the exhibition just ended and the factory will probably be very busy with guests to arrange…”
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment, "Go give the order and business card to Manager Qi later, and let him take them back. Let him handle things. I'll stay here for a couple more days. I also need to go to the machine factory to see if the new machines can be shipped back together in the next couple of days. And in the next couple of days, please take good care of your son. Don't leave until you feel at ease."
"That's fine, as long as it doesn't bother you."
"It won't affect me. I was going to let the factory staff go back first. I need to check on the progress of the machine so that I can arrange for delivery as soon as I get it."
"Then I'll go with you. There's no need to go sightseeing. We need to get down to business."
“Sure, if your eldest and second sisters-in-law want to go back to Zhoushan as soon as possible, then let them go back with Manager Qi and the others later. The old lady can stay a few more days. She must be tired from running around every day these past few days, so let her rest here for a few more days and then come back with us.”
"it is good."
The couple discussed it and agreed that after finishing their meal, they would take the empty bowls downstairs and tell everyone, and no one objected.
The two sisters-in-law happily hurried off to pack their luggage.
"Dad, after I'm done with my work and take the old lady back, you and Chenghu can move to Pudong. You can choose to live in a farmhouse or a rented room there."
"Huh? We're not getting this house anymore?"
“Chenghu thinks it’s too far to go to school and wants to live closer. You can live in Pudong. If you want to come back here on weekends, you can stay here again.”
"Alright. So when are we taking them home?"
"How about I arrange for someone to take your theory test for you in the next couple of days, and then you can come back to Zhoushan with us. We'll deliver some goods back home and bring them with us. After that, you can come to Shanghai to practice driving."
"That works, but what about Chenghu Lake?"
“Wang Jiale is in Pudong, so we can just have him look after Chenghu. He only needs to provide three meals a day, and Chenghu spends the rest of his time at school.”
"That's fine too."
After telling them what to do, Ye Yaodong took a bag of money with him, planning to deposit it in the bank first, and then take his two sisters-in-law to the hotel to meet Manager Qi.
After seeing them off, he and Lin Xiuqing went to the machine factory. Besides urging the delivery of the machines, he also needed to place a new order.
This exhibition only lasted three days and we already secured orders worth four to five million, and there are still many potential customers. We need to increase our current equipment to support future order volumes.
He was already a regular major client, so we made arrangements with him, and the machines he needed were delivered the very next day.
He also took the time to go to Jiangnan Shipyard to urge them to deliver the ship. He was only satisfied after receiving a promise that they would deliver the 70-meter fresh seafood collection boat as soon as he returned to work after the New Year.
There are only four months left until after the New Year, which is quite fast.
Lin Xiuqing was deeply impressed when she visited such a large shipyard for the first time. She was especially awestruck by the 70-meter-long super-sized freshwater collection ship, and felt incredibly small standing on it.
Once she got home, she dared to ask further, "They said before that our Dongyu No. 1 was the largest in the whole port, but then they said the fishing company built another big ship, right? Once we get this cargo ship, won't it become the largest?"
"The newly built fishing boats of the fishing company are also 70 meters long and 1500 tons. Ours will be about the same as theirs and tied for first place."
"That's amazing...you're really amazing..."
Ye Yaodong raised an eyebrow, grabbed her hand and rubbed it against his crotch, "Mine is good too."
"You're so unserious, let me tell you something serious."
"I'm talking about serious matters."
"Going back to Zhoushan tomorrow? Have you finished everything?"
"Almost there. Would you like to go somewhere, have some fun?"
"No, let's go back quickly. Business is important. The factory still needs you. Once the important business is done, let's go back right away."
"Okay, then I'll go back tomorrow."
“I think the old lady has been getting bored these past few days, spending all her time tending to the vegetables in the yard.”
"She's done all the fun things she wanted to do, but she can't go out every day, her body can't handle it. There are vegetables in the yard for her to watch over, so she won't get bored."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that she was going back to Zhoushan.
"Then let's go back to Zhoushan for a couple of days tomorrow, and then go home. We've been here for so many days, it's time to go back."
"Can't stand it anymore, huh?"
"Everything here is great, it's convenient to buy anything, but there's no one to talk to. Sigh, I can't understand what everyone is saying, and I have to use gestures to communicate with people when I go out. It's too much trouble. It's better at home. I can just sit there and listen to everyone talking and I feel happy."
Isn't that great? Those women gossip about this and that all day long, they have so much to say.
