Chapter 171 Second-hand Oven
These words struck a chord with Ji Sisi; she really needed a large oven.

Last time I asked Director Yan to inquire, and he came back saying the price was around 1,800 yuan, and with the custom-made shelf, the total was 2,000 yuan.

"Really? Second-hand is fine too. Section Chief Liu must have brought a price with him when he came to see me today, right?"

No wonder they came to our door; they were here to earn a commission.

Liu Qing raised her index finger. "Manager Ji is indeed direct. My older brother said he'd give a thousand as a token. This machine cost four thousand to buy before."

Ji Sisi chuckled and reminded Liu Qing, "One thousand? Why didn't Section Chief Liu listen to the whole story when he was asking for information? He knows I ordered ovens from the machinery factory, why didn't he ask the price they quoted me before coming here?"

Ji Sisi took a sip of water, her expression calm.

"The machine factory offered 1,800 yuan. Section Chief Liu, why don't I add 1,000 yuan to buy a brand new one and use it for a few more years? Its lifespan is definitely longer than that of a second-hand one."

"Don't rush, the price is negotiable. I'm just here to ask if you want it. If you do, give me a price and I'll take the message back."

Liu Qing seemed to remember that this oven was replaced by Liansu Century. She was in junior high school at the time. When the machine was brought to the factory, her older brother came back excitedly to show it off.

But at this moment, she is just a middleman; all she needs to do is do what she's supposed to do and get a small fee for her hard work.

"I can take it, but the price will absolutely not be the same as theirs."

"How much do you want to give?"

"five hundred."

It turns out there's something even more outrageous waiting to happen.

"Five hundred? No business would do that like Manager Ji does. They definitely wouldn't agree to a 50% discount. Besides, given your factory's conditions, wouldn't buying a second-hand one be perfect?"

Ji Sisi sighed, "That's right. We can barely be considered sister factories. Section Chief Liu, why don't you help me connect with the person in charge of the food factory? We can sit down and have a proper discussion about the used ovens."

Seeing Ji Sisi's attitude, Liu Qing stopped talking and directly changed the subject by taking out the contract.

After the contract was signed, the two vans would be used by the food factory for the next three months. The two drivers were supposed to live and eat at the factory, but since Huaihua didn't have any employee dormitories, they had to borrow empty houses from the educated youth settlement in Team Five, and they would still eat at the factory.

"Manager Ji, why can't we consider their ovens?"

Ji Sisi and Liu Qing's conversation wasn't meant to be hidden from anyone, so Ma Xiaomin, who was working in the corner, naturally overheard everything they said.

"What good can come from the discarded ones? If we ruin a pot of beef jerky, our losses will be far greater than their pot of fermented rice cakes."

Second-hand is cheap, but China is indeed lacking in experience in this field. Most of them are bought from outside at high prices, and those machines might be older than her.

"Sisi?"

Huang Qiaomei brought Li Hongying to the factory.

The two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ji Sisi.

It turned out that Li Hongying hadn't heard Ji Sisi pass by the door all night and couldn't sleep well, so she went to find Huang Qiaomei early in the morning.

"Yes, my health is getting worse and worse, so I'm planning to stay at the factory for the time being."

"That's fine, that's fine. I'm always worried when I see you riding your bike. Tomorrow I'll ride my bike to take you there, and then I'll take Qiaomei's bike back in the evening. Otherwise, how can you manage to ride your bike with so much stuff all by yourself?"

Both of them agreed that Ji Sisi should live at the factory.

"It's not much, I'll just tidy it up quickly."

She planned to store everything in her spatial dimension and take it with her.

"You're always worrying about owing others, even though you're pregnant you're still so strong-willed. Well, it's settled then, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Li Hongying brought up the fact that Ji Sisi hadn't come back last night, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night.

Ji Sisi didn't refuse again, "Okay." Seeing that Ji Sisi was safe and sound, Li Hongying was worried about disturbing her work, so she left with Huang Qiaomei.

imperial capital.

"Did you know that Xiao Yan is back?"

“I know, but Aunt Shen, I made it very clear last time in Jianghai that I will not help you with anything related to Qi Yan in the future.”

Shen Wanqing went to Zhang Zhifeng's workplace to find him, hoping that Zhang Zhifeng would call Qi Yan out.

“I did go a bit too far last time, but I was also thinking from a parent’s perspective. He secretly married your Uncle Qi behind my back, how could I not be angry?”

Shen Wanqing still felt resentful when she thought about Ji Sisi's attitude towards her during her last trip to Gansu Province.

Zhang Zhifeng didn't want to hear any of this, so he made up a random excuse.

"Aunt Shen, I still have things to take care of inside, and I really can't do anything about Qi Yan's matter."

Shen Wanqing called out to him, "Zhang Zhifeng!"

Zhang Zhifeng stopped, turned around, and looked helpless again.

"Just this once, please help Aunt Shen one last time, I'm begging you." As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Wanqing knelt down with a thud.

"Aunt Shen, why are you doing this?" Zhang Zhifeng hurriedly went to help her up. "Aunt Shen, please get up."

Shen Wanqing refused to get up no matter what she said.

"I promise you, Aunt Shen, I promise you, please get up quickly."

Zhang Zhifeng compromised, saying, "Please get up quickly, I really can't take this."

“Call him out and let him meet Yan Yan. Our family has finally reunited, and we haven’t even had a proper meal together.”

Shen Wanqing choked up and begged Zhang Zhifeng to bring Qi Yan out.

Zhang Zhifeng was exhausted and his frustration was written all over his face. "Aunt Shen, I'll try my best. Qi Yan's visit this time was kept secret. I only found out about his return from you. I'll do my best, okay?"

“Your Uncle Qi has some connections with Director Gu of the research institute, and he agreed to let Xiao Qi out.”

Zhang Zhifeng: "..."

It turned out everything had been planned. Zhang Zhifeng was speechless and could only look at Shen Wanqing, nodding resignedly.

"Zhifeng, you don't want to see Qi Yan break ties with our family for a woman, and even disown his own parents, do you?"

After Qi Yan put Shen Wanqing on the train, she truly realized that she was about to lose her son.

No matter how many times I called after that, the operator couldn't transfer me.

The only time was when the security guard at their research institute told her not to call again, as Director Qi said he wouldn't answer.

“Aunt Shen, if you keep saying these irrelevant things, I will take back what I just said. If you really want to win Qi Yan back, accept his decision and never interfere again.”

"Ji Sisi is already pregnant. If you're going to try to force her, you'd better call it quits now and not make things worse."

After careful consideration, Zhang Zhifeng decided to tell Shen Wanqing about this, so that she would face reality and stop trying to control Qi Yan.

"For Qi Yan, home is wherever Ji Sisi is."

Shen Wanqing looked pained, biting her lower lip tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Why? Aren't his father, his sister, and I his family?"

Zhang Zhifeng sighed, "I still have work to do. Aunt Shen, you go back and wait for my news. Don't bother Qi Yan anytime soon."
