Chapter 336: Chapter 337: Xu Shengwu Likes Gu Fuzhu

Xu Shengwu had no idea that he had fallen right into his little sister’s trap. Scratching his head, he said, "No, Xiao Xu, stop asking. I absolutely won’t tell you."

Xu Ying scoffed, her thoughts whirling. Someone from the same county but not a classmate?

It must be someone Third Brother Xu had met in recent years, the daughter of a leader, no less.

He didn’t often come home, except for frequently visiting last year and this year. The number of women he could have contacted was limited.

Her eyes went wide as she blurted out, "It can’t be Fuying, can it? She already has someone she likes. You’d better give up, Third Brother."

Third Brother Xu panicked immediately, shaking his head quickly, "It’s not her!"

Xu Ying laughed, a slyness in her expression, drawing out her words, "Oh~ Then I know who it is."

Hearing her daughter claim to know, Mrs. Xu became incredibly anxious and extremely curious, "Who is it?"

Xu Ying looked toward Third Brother Xu.

His face full of disbelief, Third Brother Xu felt sure that his little sister was just bluffing him. With full confidence, he challenged, "Then who is it?"

"Are you sure you want me to say?" Xu Ying asked.

Seeing his little sister’s hesitation, Third Brother Xu grew even more certain that she was just playing him.

He boldly stated, "Go ahead, say it."

"It’s Gu Fuzhu, isn’t it!" Xu Ying declared.

The color drained from Third Brother Xu’s face.

Mrs. Xu was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth, "Third, have you lost your mind? Daring to pursue the County Director’s daughter. You’d better get rid of that thought. She has no interest in you, and if you offend her father, it’ll bring trouble for your dad too."

Third Brother Xu knew all too well that he and Gu Fuzhu were worlds apart. His face fell, and for the first time in his life, he refused Gu’s mother.

"After I get into university, we’ll talk about this," he said before running off disheartened.

Mrs. Xu, fuming, went to find her husband, "Can you believe Third has the audacity to fancy Director Gu’s daughter?"

At that moment, Mr. Xu was happily drinking some liquor, nibbling on peanuts, chatting with his son.

Ever since the greenhouse had been featured on TV, their phone hadn’t stopped ringing.

One call after another, all inquiring about the greenhouse planting.

Mr. Xu had learned quite a lot from his son and now spent his days by the phone, waiting for tasks.

He was kept busy day in and day out, hearkening back to the hustle and bustle before the household responsibility system.

He was a man who thrived on being busy and since the allocation of land to households, he felt restless with nothing much to do.

Now that he was busy again, his heart settled somewhat.

"Why worry about the kid, Director Gu is a fair leader. Even if our son fails to win his daughter’s heart, he won’t take offense. Let the kid figure it out for himself!" Mr. Xu remarked.

Mrs. Xu was well aware that Director Gu was a fair leader, but just as her daughter was the apple of her eye at home, Director Gu’s daughter was no less precious in her own household.

What if Third did something inappropriate and, despite Director Gu’s understanding nature, as a parent, he got angry and took it out on her son?

Glaring at her husband, Mrs. Xu stormed off in a huff.

Xu Ying rested at home for the day before hurrying off to the county that evening.

The factory was bustling with activity, and the workload had significantly increased. Seeing her arrive, Mr. Sun, the factory director, rushed over anxiously, "Xiao Xu, you’re finally here. We can’t even take more orders now, the workshop can’t keep up with production, and both the meat union factory and the Duck Meat Factory are running short on supply."

"If we don’t hurry up and prepare the goods, I’m afraid we’re going to breach the contract."

They were different from the textile factories; those made various accessories, which, even in large quantities, could be made with fabric that the textile factories could produce themselves or purchase elsewhere.

After all, fabrics weren’t as in demand as meat.

Right now, the most important issue wasn’t the production staff, but rather the urgent need for pork and duck meat supplies.

How could they produce any products without raw materials?

Now that Mr. Sun was anxious, there was no trace of the joy he had felt upon signing the orders.

Xu Ying furrowed her brow, "Aren’t there other factories nearby that supply meat?

Doesn’t our large county have any pig farms or duck farms?"

Mr. Sun shook his head. The leadership had planned the industry chain for each area, and Yu County wasn’t assigned the task of breeding.

"We could apply to start our own pig and duck farms, couldn’t we? The policies have been liberalized, and I’m planning to set up a breeding farm behind our mountain. Mr. Sun, if you ever need it, I can give our factory an internal price."

Mr. Sun was so anxious that he was almost steaming with anger. He glared at Xiao Xu and said, "This is no time for playing around; we need to find a suitable supplier quickly.

Xiao Xu, you’re smart, think of something fast."

Nowadays, every breeding farm had its fixed partners; where could they possibly find one?

Xu Ying got back to the point, her expression suddenly serious, her mind quickly working, and soon she had a good idea, "Director, why don’t we find other food factories to take on the manufacturing for us?"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Sun was a bit confused; he didn’t know what outsourcing manufacturing meant.

"It means we offer our orders to some factories at a low price, and they take care of the processing. We just pay and buy the finished products," Xu Ying explained.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Sun’s face showed evident pain; if they did this, their factory wouldn’t earn as much.

"Is there no other way?"

Xu Ying shrugged, "You said it yourself, Director, all the major farms have long-term partners. If we barge in, do you think those partners will agree?

Not to mention if the farms would agree, I doubt they’d take the risk of breaching their contracts to sell us the goods."

Mr. Sun sighed; he understood this all too well.

But it was too much money to simply let go.

Xu Ying continued, "You need to think long-term, Director. Our factory will definitely keep getting orders, so when the time comes, are you going to refuse them?

If that gets back to the leaders, that we’re refusing orders that earn foreign exchange, do you think they’ll be happy?

Right now, this is the only way. It’ll solve our current problem and also allow us to continue taking other orders."

After hearing this, Mr. Sun didn’t dare hesitate.

Now their food products were in high demand, and orders were coming in nonstop, especially from foreign guests.

If they really refused, it wouldn’t just be leadership blaming them, it would also affect their factory’s reputation.

Mr. Sun could only bear to make the hard choice.

That afternoon, he set off for Xiang County Food Factory with Xu Ying.

The owner of Xiang County Food Factory was a middle-aged man in his forties, who welcomed Xu Ying and Mr. Sun with a friendly, smiling face.

When he heard that Mr. Sun was from Yu County Food Factory, he took even greater care of them.

Mr. Sun didn’t beat around the bush. He went straight to the point, looking at Director Fu of Xiang County Food Factory with a smile, "Director Fu, nice to meet you, I’ve come mainly to discuss a potential collaboration with your factory."

Director Fu was extremely surprised upon hearing this, "I’m puzzled, Mr. Sun; we’re both in the food business, what kind of business could we possibly discuss."
