I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 355: This Silly Man

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: This Silly Man

Wang Cuihua automatically converted the price of the flowers into eggburgers.

Calculated how many eggburgers she had to sell to make up for what was in front of her, the more she calculated, the more painful it felt.

Suizi and Yu Jingting saw a bigger picture as well.

Having stock in their hands made them feel confident.

"I noticed a strange thing when I went down to the village. Some people are also buying up a large amount of medicinal herbs." Yu Jingting told Suizi.

Starting from Wang Family’s encirclement, heading north, the first few villages were fine, yet at a certain northern village, he was told someone already purchased the herbs.

From that village onwards, it was the same. Yu Jingting guessed that someone else was buying from the opposite direction, and that village was their border.

"Could it be Du Zhong’s people?" Suizi asked.

Yu Jingting shook his head.

"Du Zhong is busy building the factory, we’ve been put in charge of purchasing all the medicinal herbs. He can’t afford to offend us for such a small profit."

The reason Du Zhong’s medicine factory was being built here was on Jingting’s advice, with the goal not to make a profit, but to eliminate competition.

The first year was definitely for profit, creating a prosperous illusion to trick other members of the Du Family into taking over the Factory Director position, and to attract more investors.

After that, it became a situation of some families rejoicing while others were worried.

When Yu Jingting initially suggested this to Du Zhong, he was also thinking of a win-win situation.

In the first year, Du Zhong needed to make a profit. Jingting had hoarded enough medicinal herbs to make him a fortune which helped Du Zhong complete his profit layout.

The two cooperated inside and out. Those who should make money made it, and those who should clean house did so.

Those secretly buying medicinal herbs couldn’t possibly be Du Zhong’s people.

If Du Zhong bypassed Yu Jingting to buy medicinal herbs, their alliance would be over.

Du’s father had personally invited Yu Jingting to join, showing how much the Du Family valued Yu Jingting’s abilities. Even if they ultimately failed to bring him over, the two families had established a relationship.

They couldn’t possibly offend Yu Jingting and Suizi over such a small amount of money.

"Is the other group buying all kinds of herbs or just the ones like ours?"

"The odd thing is that they’re only buying the same types as ours."

"Contact Du Zhong immediately, ask him if the prescription was leaked. Also remind him to watch the people around him, to see if anyone has discovered our plan."

Suizi was thoughtful and not willing to believe in coincidence.

If someone really knew Yu Jingting and Du Zhong’s plan in advance, they would have to adjust their tactics.

Business has always been a war without smoke. A slight deviation can lead to a huge loss. Details determine success or failure.

For some reason, Meng Jun flashed through Suizi’s mind.

Meng Jun, Fan Huang’s confidant.

Would it be a coincidence that he showed up at this time?

Could this have anything to do with Fan Huang, the successor of the Fan Family?

This thought was fleeting and Suizi quickly dismissed it.

The mainstay of the Fan Family is in Beijing and their main business isn’t pharmaceuticals. It didn’t seem like they had any reason to get involved in this mess.

"I already left some medicinal herbs with a few old buddies from Yang Village to pose as sellers to see if we could identify the buyers. If we can, we might be able to figure out who’s behind this." said Yu Jingting.

Suizi gave him a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.

Yu Jingting: (￣ ▽￣)V

At first, Suizi thought this was a victory gesture from him.

On second thought, why does his expression look so wicked?

Suizi blushed, then instantly understood.

This guy was reminding her through this obscure gesture- it’s been two months.

The recovery was almost complete, it was time for little uncle to break his celibacy.

Wang Cuihua, who was quietly calculating how many eggburgers she had to sell to pay for the flowers, suddenly turned around, only to see the two of them flirting with each other, making her feel even more miserable.

"Can’t you two lovebirds go home and be all mushy over there? We’re running out of money, and yet you two can still afford to be sweet to each other..."

"Mom, do you know how many egg burgers these two warehouses can be traded for?" Suizi asked.

"Including the cost of medicinal herbs and warehouses, we’ve spent a little under 3000, so 3000 divided by 0.25...."

Wang Cuihua tried to do the math on her fingers, but couldn’t quite figure it out.

Suizi patted her.

"To break even, we need to sell 12,000 egg burgers, as for profit... well, let’s put it this way - if we line up all the egg burgers, they could circle D City. And that’s still based on the premise that we’re being fair and not hiking up the prices."

"Then, what if we aren’t being fair?" Wang Cuihua was taken aback.

Yu Jingting: (￣▽￣)V

Wang Cuihua gasped. So, not being fair means circling twice?

"How long then, before we can sell off everything?"

Yu Jingting: (￣▽￣)V

Wang Cuihua failed to understand why her son was grinning so foolishly, flashing that peace-sign non-stop.

"Tiegen, what riddle are you playing? Can we sell everything in two months? Didn’t you say that we wouldn’t be able to sell until next year?"

Suizi held her forehead.

For a peculiar creature like him, who made decisions based on his lower half, it was indeed dangerous if kept bottled up for too long.

He was now focusing all his thoughts below, responding nonchalantly to Wang Cuihua’s questions.

Fearing that this man, who was close to going crazy from suppression, might say some inappropriate words in front of his mother, Suizi quickly redirected the conversation to the kids.

"We’ve been out quite a while, Luoluo and Bobo should be waking up soon. Wang sister can’t handle them on her own. We should go home and check on them."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jingting’s face lit up with happiness. Going home meant he could...

(￣▽￣)V, hehe~

...

Suizi had imagined what it would be like on her first day back at work after maternity leave.

A couple of months postpartum, she hadn’t made any special effort to lose weight due to breastfeeding. However, the effort that went into taking care of the twins helped her lose about sixteen pounds and she had slimmed down significantly.

In Suizi’s ideal scenario, she would return to work with renewed energy and a bright look, impressing all her colleagues.

However, her perfect plan was thwarted because of her foolish husband, Yu Jingting.

When Suizi appeared at the office with dark circles under her eyes, her colleagues such as Zhang Yue’e showed sympathetic expressions.

"Director, it must be tough bringing up twins, right?"

"Look how thin Director has become from exhaustion?"

Suizi smiled awkwardly yet politely.

Could she tell them that these dark circles had nothing to do with her two little radishes, the twins?

Ever since they started taking their calcium supplements, the twins had been sleeping peacefully at night. They only needed to be fed once during the night, making them quite manageable.

The real culprit behind her panda eyes was none other than her "foolish" husband, Yu Jingting.

She couldn’t share this with outsiders, so she had no choice but to blame it all on her little radishes.

Poor babies, just two months old, and already taking the blame for their irresponsible father...

"Chenchen, come to my office for a moment." The Principal entered smiling like a Buddha.

Seeing Suizi leave with the Principal, Wang Mengmeng felt a pang of jealousy.

"I’ve never heard of anyone taking such a long maternity leave like her."

"During the Director’s maternity leave, the workload she managed was more than what some people slacking off did - tell me that’s not infuriating?"

Xiaoli’s comment left Wang Mengmeng speechless.

Even during her confinement period, Suizi was consulted to resolve certain issues that the Principal couldn’t handle. So, even rounded off, Suizi’s contributions to the school were greater than the loafing Wang Mengmeng.
