My sister-in-law from Qingdao

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. My brother will definitely come back."

My sister-in-law shook her head again and said, "The international economy is in a downturn now, and it's even worse in our country. Do you think he can make a name for himself?"

This is so difficult. Your brother is an opportunist, and I'm really worried about him.

Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's get down to business. Are you willing to have a son for me or not?

She turned to look at me, her pretty eyes revealing sincerity.

To be honest, Su Xiaoya is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen; even Lin Moli can't compare to her.

But I remember what my mom said last night.

There are things one can do and things one cannot do; a wise person knows what to do and what not to do.

Although I wouldn't call myself a true gentleman, I'm definitely not the kind of shameless scoundrel.

"Sister-in-law, I really can't help you with this."

Su Xiaoya paused for a moment, then gently tapped my shoulder before bursting into laughter.

"Chen Dong, you're hilarious! Did you scare me?"

"Oh, are you teasing me?"

That's when I came to my senses.

"What do you think? I'm your sister-in-law. Would the two of us do something so outrageous? I was just teasing you."

I never imagined that I would be teased by this woman. Recalling how serious she looked just now, I couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her arm.

The instant I pinched her, she reached out and covered my hand.

When our hands were placed together, my heart started racing.

Su Xiaoya seemed to sense something and quickly let go of my hand, and I also quickly pulled my hand back.

I wasn't too nervous when he joked with me earlier.

But when her hand pressed down on mine just now, I suddenly became nervous.

We stopped talking; the only sounds were the noise from the tires and the road, and the car speeding along and the friction between the tires and the air.

Just now, my hand was held down by her hand.

I could feel that her arms were very soft and elastic.

Her hands were soft and boneless, with a cool warmth.

This experience is wonderful.

"Chen Dong, let's really talk business this time. I'm thinking of starting a self-media company. What do you think?"

I nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, our country's economy is no longer what it used to be."

With the demographic dividend almost gone and the rapid development of online sales and short videos, starting a self-media company is definitely a promising venture.

"Would you be willing to help me?"

"I'm willing. I can do anything for you, except for the unreasonable request you just made."

Su Xiaoya raised her hand and gently patted my thigh, saying, "I already told you it was just teasing you, why bring it up again?"

"I'm afraid you'll make unreasonable demands again."

"The biggest obstacle now is the start-up capital. I discussed it with my parents, and they said they could help me get a loan of 400,000 yuan by using their house as collateral."

I have to admire my sister-in-law's parents for supporting their child. They are so old, yet they still support their daughter like this. It's truly rare to see someone like that.

"Sister-in-law, I've been doing well at work lately, so I can help you earn 30,000 to 50,000."

She smiled and said, "I haven't paid you back the 200,000 yuan you lent me yet, so I can't use your money anymore."

You're not getting any younger; it's time to buy a house, a car, and find a girlfriend. I've roughly calculated that 500,000 yuan in start-up capital should last for a quarter.

If things can pick up this quarter, then everything will be running normally. If this system doesn't work, then your brother and I probably won't be able to get back on our feet for the rest of our lives.

My sister-in-law's words made me realize that she is a knowledgeable and rational person.

My cousin is far inferior to her.

My cousin's business is risky, even somewhat illegal, but his wife has a completely different view.

"I will do my best, and if you ever encounter any difficulties, please be sure to tell me."

After hearing what I said, my sister-in-law didn't answer for a long time. After a while, she said, "If only your brother were like you, but unfortunately he's not you."

He was so enthusiastic towards me at the time, giving me all sorts of gifts, that I agreed to marry him. Only after we got married did I discover he was two-faced.

When Su Xiaoya talked about my cousin, I was speechless.

I know what kind of person my cousin is: loyal, outspoken, and decisive.

During certain special periods, he may shine brightly.

But at this time, he has almost nowhere to go.

Two hours later, we arrived in Qingdao.

I had just put my sister-in-law down when I received a call from Lin Moli.

She told me that an important client was waiting for us at the Shanghai Hilton for negotiations.

I was the one who contacted this client, so I need to bring the samples to confirm the price and order quantity.

After hanging up the phone, I suddenly became excited.

This client is from Europe and his name is Lankao.

He likes 36 square tablecloths and 2.2-meter handmade four-piece bedding sets.

It has more than 30 chain stores in Europe and also supplies Walmart.

As long as he can place an order, a single transaction worth several million euros is not out of the question.

I hurriedly drove back to the company.

Lin Moli has already arranged for someone to pack the samples and put the price list inside.

"Sis, aren't you coming with me?" It was my first time going out to negotiate alone, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

It was just the two of us in Lin Moli's office, so there was no awkwardness.

She stepped forward and gently hugged me, then patted my back and said, "I originally wanted to go with you, but a fabric supplier came, and I have to go with them."

Our quote can only be reduced by 5%. After you close the deal, I'll give you a good reward when you get back.

The woman gave a wicked smile and gently pinched me.

I immediately understood.

"Why don't you reward me now? I can't wait."

Lin Moli pushed me away, smiled, and tapped my forehead, saying, "What are you thinking, kid? The train leaves in an hour and a half. If you don't leave now, you'll be too late."

After saying that, the woman hugged me, kissed me on the forehead, and said, "I'll wait for your victorious return and will definitely take good care of you."

Looking at her rosy cheeks, my heart started racing, and I remembered what my dad had said yesterday.

If I could marry Lin Moli in this lifetime, I would definitely be happy.
