Chapter 159 Qi Yan on a Business Trip
"Not really, it's just that appreciation is the majority."

Lin Miao was also unsure of her own feelings. Ever since Qi Yan, she had been struggling to distinguish between liking and admiring.

She just thought Shen Zichen was very impressive, and she really had no intention of dating him, but recently she has been thinking about him unconsciously.

Lin Miao was also very conflicted.

"Don't talk about me. You need to be careful lately. Last night, Guo Xiaolan slipped and fell when she got up in the middle of the night. Luckily, she and the child are okay, but she twisted her ankle."

Lin Miao worriedly said, "You're in your second month now. How's your pregnancy going? Once your belly gets bigger, you won't be able to work anymore."

Lin Miao was really worried for her best friend, who had to travel more than ten kilometers every day.

Ji Sisi knew this too, so she was even more eager to make money to see if she could buy a car to make transportation easier later.

She kept this idea to herself for the time being and didn't dare to tell anyone else.

"Don't worry, I will be careful. Apart from smelling some overly pungent odors, I'm fine. I didn't vomit too much."

"That's good. You and Guo Xiaolan are now the key people we are taking care of in the clinic. If either of you feels unwell, be sure to let us know in advance."

This area is remote, so if something happens, it's definitely not possible to get to the county.

Ji Sisi knew what was going on, and with the added blessing of the spiritual spring water, the hardships of pregnancy were reduced.

It wasn't dark yet when Ji Sisi got home and found the door open.

She walked into the room and saw the packed luggage, and was surprised. "Are you going on a business trip?"

When Qi Yan saw Ji Sisi return, he stopped what he was doing and pulled her to sit down.

"I'm going back to the capital for a meeting, which may take about a month."

Upon hearing that Qi Yan was leaving for half a month, Ji Sisi felt as if a part of her heart had been ripped out, leaving her feeling empty and desolate.

Although Qi Yan occasionally doesn't come back to sleep, she feels as if she has a premonition that he is always by her side.

The thought of having to travel so far suddenly made me feel uneasy.

"It's been so long..."

Ji Sisi leaned against Qi Yan's chest, her voice filled with deep reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I've finished dealing with things. This meeting is particularly important, and I've been preparing for it for almost a month."

Qi Yan was equally reluctant to part with Ji Sisi, as this was the first time they had been separated for so long since their marriage.

It's a pity the journey is long and tiring, plus she has her own work to do, otherwise he really wanted to take her with him.

"I didn't say you couldn't go, I'm just a little reluctant to let you go."

After speaking, Ji Sisi suddenly thought of something.

She quickly pulled away from the man's embrace and went to rummage through the coffee table. "This is beef jerky from our factory. Take it with you to eat on the way."

This is a pound-sized package. I originally planned to use it to occasionally entertain friends or to eat by myself to pass the time.

Ji Sisi didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

"There's so much, I can't finish it all."

Qi Yan stared at the large bag in his hand.

Ji Sisi's lips curled up, a smug glint in her eyes. "You can't finish this pound in a month? Keep it, it doesn't taste as bad as you think."

Qi Yan had no choice but to accept the beef jerky from her.

“If you feel unwell while I’m gone, be sure to contact Lin Miao immediately. I discussed it with her yesterday, and she’s willing to come and keep you company.”

Ji Sisi was just happy to be able to sleep on the big, soft bed in her space, but the next second she was dragged back to reality. "This is too much trouble, you're all too nervous."

Qi Yan's expression suddenly turned serious. "Pregnancy is no small matter."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Knowing that he meant well, Ji Sisi didn't refuse again.
-
The smell and the route of the bus into the city were so winding and bumpy that Ji Sisi already knew she would definitely throw up.

She got out of the car and started vomiting incessantly, then took out some water to rinse her mouth, wiped her mouth, and finally exhaled a breath of stale air.

Hu Zhibin, who was standing next to her, was terrified, feeling as if Ji Sisi was about to vomit her insides.

"Sis, you've been getting more and more carsick lately. Maybe I should buy you some motion sickness medicine to keep on hand next time?"

Ji Sisi waved her hand in refusal, "No need, I feel much better after throwing up."

"What will you do when you get back? Should I go and buy some for you now?"

"Really, I don't need to. I'm pregnant and can't take any medication."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhibin's mind went blank, and he couldn't process it for a long time.

"You're pregnant?" After saying that, his gaze unconsciously fell on Ji Sisi's lower abdomen. Realizing that he was being too presumptuous, he quickly looked away. "Sis, why didn't you say so sooner? If you had told me earlier, I would have come alone."

Ji Sisi shook her head helplessly, "You have that confidence, but I'm not so sure."

She came today with the goal of negotiating with at least three supply and marketing cooperatives. After all the supply and marketing cooperatives have been stocked, the next step will be the department store, and finally, she will start penetrating the supply and marketing cooperatives of each commune.

Upon hearing that Ji Sisi had arrived, Manager Yan of Hongxing hurriedly invited her to his office.

"Is this Factory Director Ji?"

He had met Hu Zhibin before, and the young woman next to her didn't look like a factory director either, but the aura she exuded made people take notice.

Ji Sisi shook her head, politely denying it, "Manager Yan, our factory doesn't have a formal factory manager yet, I'm currently acting as the person in charge."

After a polite greeting, Ji Sisi sat down next to Hu Zhibin, who then brought up the topic of cooperation.

Hu Zhibin was clearly well-prepared, and after a conversation, Manager Yan was surprised by him.

"I didn't expect that Comrade Hu would have made so much progress in just one day. When we met yesterday, he was so excited that he was incoherent, but today he was already talking to me about cooperation with ease and confidence."

Manager Yan suddenly changed the subject.

Hu Zhibin was taken aback. "Yes, I was too excited yesterday. Please forgive me if I was presumptuous in any way, Manager Yan."

"No, no, I just didn't expect that the beef jerky factory that's been making headlines recently would be taken over by you young people."

Manager Yan then asked, "Comrade Hu, you look young, you must have just graduated not long ago, right?"

"My family wasn't well-off, so I started high school late and I'm almost twenty now," Hu Zhibin said shyly, but his demeanor remained generous and cheerful.

"18?" Manager Yan exclaimed, clicking his tongue. "Is Comrade Ji the same age?"

Ji Sisi shook her head, "I'm 21, and I already have a child."

"This, I really can't tell at all." After chatting for a while, Manager Yan still felt that the price was too high.

He wanted to bet from six dollars to five dollars and fifty cents, and then bet fifty cents.

“The average monthly salary of employees in our county is only twenty or thirty yuan. It’s a bit too expensive to sell this pound for seven yuan. We can’t do business without considering the lives of ordinary people.”

Ji Sisi, unusually, interrupted Manager Yan, "Manager Yan, let's talk business. If we empathize with the hardships of the masses, then who will empathize with us? This price is already the most conscientious and lowest ex-factory wholesale price."

"Manager Yan, you've seen how popular our beef jerky is. It's already generating so much discussion even before any supply and marketing cooperative has stocked it."

Hu Zhibin continued Ji Sisi's words, and the two worked together seamlessly.

"Whoever is the first to take our goods will definitely be the first to make money. It is indeed expensive per kilogram, but we have loose and half-kilogram options, which can fully satisfy our needs for a treat."
