Then she changed the subject: "However, no matter how urgent the time is, I can't just go there empty-handed. It would be too impolite, and what if my brother-in-law gets angry and refuses to help?"

Sun Youcai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, your concerns are valid. Here's what we'll do: go buy some more things and send them over. I'll reimburse you for everything. Go ahead."

Gao Jinbao's smile deepened: "Okay, thank you, Boss Sun. I'll go buy some things now."

The training ground was filled with shouts.

Chen Jianghe was training them, staring at them with a serious expression: "Straighten your arms! What kind of look is that, all of you limp and lifeless? Take it seriously, so you can survive if you encounter danger later."

"Yes, Captain!!"

"Captain, Captain, someone's here to see you. They say... Huhu says he's your brother-in-law, and he brought a lot of things to see you."

Everyone looked over and saw that the captain's face darkened, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood. Their eyes were gleaming with gossip, suggesting that the captain and his brother-in-law did not have a good relationship.

Chen Jianghe grunted in agreement, then coldly glanced at them and said, "Go, everyone run five miles and be back before lunch. If you don't come back, you won't get any food."

"Come on, take me to him."

"Okay, he's in your office."

Gao Jinbao sat inside waiting, his eyes fixed on the window. He was getting a little impatient. When he heard footsteps, he quickly stood up, came out, and greeted them with a big smile.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you're back! How are you? Are you tired? I'll make you a cup of malted milk powder. You need to nourish your body. Look what good stuff I brought you."

"This fine tea was sourced from Haicheng, and so was this malted milk powder, brown sugar, and..."

Seeing his brother-in-law's eagerness, Chen Jianghe became wary. He knew his brother-in-law's character well; he was a profit-driven man who would do anything for money.

The difference between their previous attitude and their current attitude is huge. They're sitting across from each other, holding teacups.

He said expressionlessly, "No need. I don't like good tea. I'll just drink my own. Sit down. Just say what you want to say. We're not strangers, no need to beat around the bush."

Gao Jinbao's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Hey, brother-in-law, what are you saying? We're practically family. I just came to visit you, okay? I even bought a roast chicken. Let's have a good drink together at noon."

Chen Jianghe just looked at him and said, "Okay, let's have a drink then."

He also wanted to see what this kid's purpose was in coming.

The two were drinking at noon when Gao Jinbao, seeing that they had drunk enough, said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, do you remember when you brought people to me to ask if I wanted to buy double-yolk chicken and duck eggs?"

"Yes, I remember. What's wrong?"

So that's what it was about. He was so arrogant and didn't want it before, why is he bringing this up now?

Chen Jianghe probed, "Speak, why are you asking this?"

Gao Jinbao rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, it's like this: our restaurant wants to purchase better ingredients to supply high-end customers, such as government officials."

"Without good ingredients, we won't be able to win over government guests. Could you let me meet with that person from before to discuss the procurement?"

"Purchasing? You're too late. He's already found someone willing to buy. They're not selling to the public now, so even if we wanted to buy, it would be difficult. Supply can't meet demand."

"What? How is this possible?"

Chen Jianghe looked at the man whose expression had changed, leaned back in his chair and felt a sense of relief. He had been given the cold shoulder when the man came to him before, but now that the man was begging, he was gone.

Gao Jinbao realized he had lost his composure and quickly suppressed his panic, leaning closer to probe, "Brother-in-law, are you blaming me for not buying his things back then, and that's why you said that on purpose?"

"Sigh, I have my reasons too. Our boss, Mr. Sun, is very difficult to get along with. When business is good, he treats us like brothers, but he'll sneak a little bit of money into our pockets."

"Other kitchen staff have lucrative purchasing deals, but it's tough for me. He's very suspicious and likes to check the accounts. Purchasing from farms raised in the countryside is risky, and I didn't know your brigade raised them so well back then."

Chen Jianghe twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at his bulging belly, and said meaningfully, "Really? So where did you hear about this? This is the first time our brigade has raised livestock like this."

"All farmed eggs are the same, except for the double-yolk variety. If you're looking to buy double-yolk eggs, you'll have to wait. Maybe next year when they expand their farms, then you can come back and buy them."

"That restaurant has signed a contract with another restaurant, which is none of my business. They only have so much output, they really can't squeeze any more out."

Gao Jinbao clenched his fists, his breathing becoming rapid. No, if he went back directly, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the boss. He had to buy some things to take back no matter what.

He quickly took two steps closer and pleaded, "Brother-in-law, you must help me this time. Our restaurant owner asked around and found out that your brigade supplies Haoyunlai."

"I know you're my brother-in-law and you're demanding that I secure the purchase order. We can discuss the amount, but I can't explain myself if I don't get any."

"He said if I can't handle this, he'll fire me when I get back. Brother-in-law, you have to help me out!"

"If I lose my job, how will I support my family? Your sister and children will suffer the most. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Please, brother-in-law, help me this time."

Chen Jianghe hated being threatened, especially by his heartless brother-in-law. As for his dim-witted sister...

"Of course I want the best for you, otherwise I wouldn't have brought people to you to make purchases. But instead of saying anything, you offended them. What can I do?"

Gao Jinbao was a little embarrassed: "Brother-in-law, it was my fault back then, I admit it. Can you help me put in a good word and find an opportunity to invite him out for a meal and a few drinks to talk things over?"

"Price is negotiable. As long as he is willing to supply, we can offer a higher price than Good Luck. You must emphasize this point. Farmers have it tough too; who doesn't want to make more money?"

Chen Jianghe hummed in agreement and said perfunctorily, "I know, I'll go ask."

Gao Jinbao rubbed his hands together: "Brother-in-law, do you have his home phone number? Give me one so I can explain to the boss, otherwise I'll definitely get scolded when I get back."

"...Okay, sure."

He wrote him a note, and after the person left, Chen Jianghe immediately called Jiang Liejia.

Hello, who is this?

"Little Hunter, it's me, your Uncle Chen. I have something to tell you, listen carefully..."

After listening, Jiang Lie raised an eyebrow, and he roughly understood what was going on.

[Uncle Chen, you said that Happiness State-Owned Restaurant is getting anxious, knowing that Good Luck Restaurant's business is good because they changed their ingredients, and they also want to buy chicken and duck with double egg yolks from me, is that right?]
