Chapter 322: Chapter 323: Seeing Good Friend Sun Lifang Again

"Dad, how much does it cost to lease the back mountain? I want to lease it." Xu Ying went to Mr. Xu and asked.

Her rural tourism, her bed and breakfast, her orchard, her breeding farm—they all needed to get started since these would be her livelihood in retirement.

Seeing his daughter so determined to lease the back mountain, Mr. Xu said with some difficulty, "I need to discuss this with the people in our village first.

So, no one gets jealous and accuses me of not informing them once you’ve leased it."

"Okay," Xu Ying readily agreed, considering her father was the head of the village and any slight mistake could easily be blown out of proportion.

Her salary hadn’t come through yet; she could pick it up later and then lease the back mountain.

"I’ll go back to the county then. I probably won’t return tonight and will stay at the factory, coming back tomorrow," Xu Ying informed her parents before heading to the county.

With an excited heart, she couldn’t wait to head to the food and textile factories—it was time to collect her money.

"Minister Xu."

"Hello, Minister Xu!"

"Hello, Minister Xu!"

As soon as Xu Ying entered the factory, employees greeted her as she walked by.

She felt somewhat overwhelmed by the attention, nodding to the group. She hadn’t realized her charm was so great before—it must surely be the power of money.

Mr. Sun, hearing of her visit, was extremely envious, "Xiao Xu, maybe we should switch salaries.

Just think, I’ve been working my whole life and still don’t earn as much in a month as you."

Xu Ying humbly laughed, "Manager, you’re joking. How can I compare to you?

You’ve given your heart and soul to the factory all your life—you’re our role model.

No more teasing me from now on." Xu Ying finished speaking with a chuckle and extended her hand.

Where’s the money?

Mr. Sun handed her a bankbook, "This account is opened in your name, and all the money is deposited here."

Otherwise, with so many bundles, we might need a truck.

Looking at the figures in the bankbook, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands—the total being one hundred and fifty thousand.

She beamed as her eyes formed crescents, and her lips curved upwards, her face filled with joy—she had struck it rich, really rich.

She had become someone with tens of thousands in the 1970s.

It seemed her extraordinary days were set in the future.

"Xiao Xu, with such a big salary, aren’t you going to treat everyone to a meal?"

Xu Ying, full of pride, responded, "Manager, I’ve just developed a new dipping sauce for fried meat. Everyone’s going to need to work overtime, so I probably won’t have the time to invite you all for a meal, alas!"

Mr. Sun’s old face flinched, but quickly, his face gleamed with excitement, "You girl, I knew something good was happening today the moment I stepped out and saw a magpie this morning.

Look at what hardships you go through for our factory, barely back a while and already bringing benefits to us.

Rest assured, as long as you work hard, your salary will go even higher."

Xu Ying nodded in agreement, "Manager, I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll take the recipe to Yang Nan and Zhou Yi. I still have a week of vacation left, and I need to pick up my salary at the textile factory soon."

Mr. Sun waved, letting her go.

Xu Ying hummed a tune, looking at the bankbook, feeling like she was dreaming.

She jumped on her bicycle and headed straight for the textile factory.

"Yingying! Is that really you?" Gu Fuying shouted, and Xu Ying stopped her bike.

Gu Fuying hurried over and gave Xu Ying a big hug, "You’re like a big leader now, so busy that no one even sees you."

"Ever since you started working at the food factory, we haven’t been able to see each other even once a month."

Xu Ying saw her and was also excited; she had been busy with work recently and rarely had the chance to meet Fuying and the others.

"Are you busy now? Let’s go have a meal together," Gu Fuying’s eyes sparkled.

"You go to the restaurant first, I’ll get my salary and then join you there."

Gu Fuying immediately agreed and headed towards the State-owned Restaurant.

Xu Ying collected her salary and hurried to the State-owned Restaurant.

By the time she arrived, the dishes were already served.

Gu Fuying, holding the menu, said, "See if there’s anything else you’d like to eat. I just ordered some braised pork and your favorite spicy chicken."

Xu Ying looked over the dishes on the table, which were mostly her favorites, and shook her head.

Looking at Gu Fuying, who had a big smile on her face, Xu Ying reached into her clothes.

"Yingying, are you going to take the university entrance exam this time? My mom got me some exam materials; I’ll give you a copy when we go to my place," Gu Fuying said excitedly.

She never thought that the university entrance exam would be reinstated one day. Her mom had been nagging about it every day, and she was getting annoyed, but unexpectedly, the day had come.

Luckily, she had a good mother, a teacher, who always had access to materials. As soon as the news about the exam was released, her mom had prepared the materials immediately.

"Do you think we are telepathic? We thought of the same thing," Xu Ying took out her materials, which were mostly key points.

Gu Fuying took them, flipped through a few pages, and suddenly her eyes widened, "Yingying, where did you get these? They’re almost the same as what my mom gave me."

Hearing this, Xu Ying looked suspicious; the system had claimed to have provided unique materials; how could it be the same as Teacher Gu’s.

However, Gu Fuying was still there; she didn’t have time to question the system.

And the system, sensing that its secret was exposed, automatically shut itself off.

"I got these when I went to Shanghai; someone organized them for me." Xu Ying was internally panicking.

Seeing this, Gu Fuying did not continue to question.

Meanwhile, Liu Guohua, hearing that Xu Ying had arrived, took a break to visit the restaurant to see his half-apprentice.

Chef Ge retired this year, and Liu Guohua, being his only disciple and quite gifted in cooking, naturally took over.

Director Hong was open-minded; he didn’t care about age or experience but only ability; nobody could get in through connections—they wouldn’t bring any benefits to his restaurant.

He cared more about long-term benefits than short-term gains.

"Xu Ying, is that really you?" came the surprised voice of Liu Guohua.

Xu Ying turned her head and saw him, with Sun Lifang following behind.

Sun Lifang smiled at Xu Ying, obviously much more composed than before.

What was even more important was that Xu Ying’s status was now different; Sun Lifang felt she couldn’t act recklessly as before.

"Yingying, long time no see," she said with a smile, her arm linked with Liu Guohua’s.

Xu Ying was full of surprise: "You two are together?"

"Yes, we’re engaged. We wanted to invite you, but you’re too famous now," Sun Lifang’s following words were left unsaid.

But everyone understood.

Xu Ying walked up to her, without any airs: "What, just because I’m famous, I’m not your good friend anymore?"

Hearing this, Sun Lifang’s eyes immediately reddened, and she retorted, "My mom said that now that you’re so capable, you surely wouldn’t care about a friend like me, so I didn’t dare invite you."

Xu Ying pinched her face lightly: "Where did your courage go? You used to be fearless."

Gu Fuying’s expression changed, and she immediately stood up, coughing a few times, and pulled at Xu Ying.
