Chapter 476: Chapter 475 Cooperation

After Luo Yue married Yu Hongli, Lu Pengcheng left with mixed feelings, and Song Yinran did not leave.

He told Lin Xia about his idea to collaborate with her.

"Lin Xia! After coming here, I found that not only is the scenery pleasant, but there’s also a vast variety of mountain goods due to the abundance of natural resources.

I have my own company and channels in the south, and I thought why not we collaborate to transport the mountain goods from your family’s place out..."

Song Yinran had only met Lin Xia once before and did not know her well.

His initial intention for coming here was actually to help these few children on behalf of his deceased wife, Qin Zibing.

But after interacting with her, he realized that Lin Xia’s personality would not allow her to accept the gesture of him giving money.

He had also looked into Lin Xia’s business and saw that she was a girl very capable of doing business.

Therefore, he wanted to try a different approach! An approach that Lin Xia might accept!

The idea for this collaboration was a decision he made after careful inspection and consideration.

The economic development in Lin District now seems good, with many regular customers from the south continuously visiting, driving the development of many industries.

But in his opinion, such uncontrolled logging might completely deplete the mountain of resources in ten or eight years.

Therefore, he did not want to get involved with businesses related to timber! If he were to do something, he wanted it to be a project with long-term development.

It is said that you should rely on local resources, and here in Spring City, the biggest treasure is all the things from the mountain!

"Uncle! Your idea is really great! If it’s done well, it can even be exported!"

Lin Xia once had this idea when she went into the mountains to pick hazelnuts, in order to have some foundational money for doing business.

There are too many good things on the mountain in her hometown: hazelnuts, pine nuts, mushrooms, mountain wood ear fungi, wild vegetables, and many other kinds of mountain goods.

If they could be transported out and sold, that would be a great business.

But because of her limited abilities and not knowing anyone in the south, she didn’t dare to think about making it a reality.

Now that Song Yinran has brought it up, the passionate ideas that Lin Xia once had in her heart are revived.

Song Yinran’s eyes lit up; he hadn’t expected his niece, who grew up in Lin District, to even think about exporting!

"Great! Lin Xia! Since you are very interested, then let’s sit down and discuss the details of our collaboration..."

"Sure, Uncle!" Lin Xia had some capital in hand, and she wanted to negotiate a win-win business deal with Song Yinran.

The two hit it off right away, writing down on paper as they talked, each sharing their thoughts, and quickly came up with a rough draft.

Lin Xia would first register a company and set up a factory responsible for processing and storing mountain goods.

For example, if wild vegetables were to be transported and sold, they would have to go through simple processing and packaging before they could be sold easily.

The two quickly decided on the name; it would be called Lin Du Mountain Specialty Products Company.

Lin Xia was someone who acted as soon as she said she would; they split up to work on different tasks, with her immediately going to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to find Sheng Yijin to handle the company registration.

Song Yinran took Along and started looking for suitable places to build or rent a factory.

This season was the perfect time for pine nuts to be harvested, aiming to buy some and send them to the south...

...

After Luo Yue and Yu Hongli returned to their parents’ home for three days after the wedding, they went back to live in their own home, enjoying their sweet newlywed life.

Luo Xinyan was grateful to Lin Xia for helping her daughter find her belated happiness. That day, close to noon, she brought over some pork and scallion stuffed buns she had made herself to deliver to Lin Xia.

However, the main gate was locked, and the clothing store was also closed; Lin Xia was not at home at all.

Luo Xinyan held the baozi wrapped in several layers of coats, looking around, not knowing whether Lin Xia would return for lunch after all.

Then she thought since she had already come, and the baozi in her arms was still warm, she might as well wait and see.

She hadn’t waited long when Lin Xia didn’t come back, but Song Yinran, with Along, did stride over from a distance.

They had both seen each other that day, knowing who the other was.

Song Yinran’s eyes twinkled; this woman had an unusual relationship with Lin Xia’s father-in-law, and it was clear that Luo Yue was Lu Pengcheng’s daughter. As for the specific details, he, an outsider, naturally wouldn’t know.

He greeted her warmly, "Hello!"

Luo Xinyan knew that this man was Lin Xia’s uncle by marriage, and suppressing the surprise in her heart, she also hurriedly smiled and greeted him, "Hello!"

She had thought Lin Xia’s uncle by marriage had left, but to her surprise, he was still there.

Song Yinran glanced at the time, "Lin Xia should be back soon!"

Luo Xinyan smiled lightly, "Good!"

Song Yinran looked at the clothes she was holding, guessing that there must be food or something similar inside, and casually asked, "Have you been here long?"

Luo Xinyan shook her head, "No! I just got here a little while ago!"

"Oh!" Song Yinran had nothing more to say.

He didn’t know her well and didn’t know what to talk about.

Along stood silently beside them, mute as a model, and the two of them also stood in silence. For a moment, the atmosphere was tinged with a hint of awkwardness.

Fortunately, Lin Xia quickly returned, riding her bicycle.

Lin Xia saw three people standing at her doorstep from a distance, with Luo Xinyan’s presence being somewhat unexpected, not knowing what she had come for.

As she got closer and saw the bundle in Luo Xinyan’s arms, she guessed that it was likely food for her.

Seeing Lin Xia with a radiant smile on her face, Luo Xinyan exclaimed, "Lin Xia! You’re back!"

If she didn’t come back soon, Luo Xinyan was considering leaving. Lin Xia’s uncle by marriage had a powerful presence, which inexplicably made her somewhat averse to meeting his gaze. The atmosphere was indeed strangely awkward.

"Auntie! You’re here!"

Luo Xinyan gestured to the bundle of clothes in her arms, "Yeah! I made some baozi and thought you might be alone at home, so I came to bring you some!"

Yu Hongli was her son-in-law, and any messages he had were communicated through the two women, so Lin Xia’s sister knew some details about their neighbor’s breakup and her moving back to their grandmother’s house.

Even though Lin Xia was competent and strong-willed, she was still a young woman living alone, and Luo Xinyan guessed that she might not take care of her meals properly.

Lin Xia felt a warmth in her heart, "Thank you, Auntie! Uncle... " she began, promptly cutting herself off.

What ’auntie,’ ’uncle,’ that sounded as though they were a couple, part of a family.

Both Song Yinran and Luo Xinyan certainly noticed this slip-up; Song Yinran’s expression remained unchanged, calm and undisturbed, whereas Luo Xinyan’s face revealed a hint of discomfort.

Lin Xia stealthily stuck out her tongue, fumbling quickly for her keys to unlock the door, daring not to mention the issue of address again.

She hadn’t thought it through at all; she was usually used to calling Luo Xinyan ’auntie,’ but who would have thought there would also be an ’uncle’ present? She really couldn’t be blamed for this!

"Come on in!"

Song Yinran, with Along, directly entered the yard, and Lin Xia looked towards Luo Xinyan, who hadn’t moved, "Auntie! You’ve been waiting for quite a while, right? Come in for a bit and warm up!"

"Sure!" Luo Xinyan initially intended to hand the baozi to Lin Xia and leave, but she thought that besides delivering the baozi, she wanted to sincerely thank Lin Xia, and so she couldn’t just leave without exchanging a few words.

If she did that, it might seem like she cared too much about the slight misunderstanding that just occurred...
