The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Huai laughed in anger.

Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip, pressing the person firmly against his chest.

"Alright, let's settle the bill." Shen Huai's voice was low and clearly restrained. "Then let's calculate. I drove you around today and helped you with all the work for the license. How does Boss Su plan to settle this labor fee?"

Su Nianhe's face was pressed against his crisp shirt, and she wanted to back away because of the heat emanating from him.

"I didn't say we'd settle that account," she said, pushing against him with both hands. "I was talking about the cost of goods."

Shen Huai wouldn't listen to her reasoning at all.

He lowered his head, his chin resting directly on the top of her head.

The person in his arms smelled sweet and soft. Because they had just eaten dinner, her fragrance was becoming more and more pronounced, wafting into his nose.

Shen Huai hugged him very tightly.

He knew very well that the girl was only eighteen and still too young.

I really want her to grow up quickly.

Once we're old enough, we'll just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get our marriage certificate.

With that piece of paper, she would be his rightful wife, and he wouldn't have to live like this anymore, having to book two rooms at a guesthouse and having to be careful not to let anyone walk by in the corridor if he wanted to hug her.

"Su Nianhe," Shen Huai called her name.

"What's wrong?" she answered softly, her hand still clutching the hem of his clothes.

"Grow up quickly." Shen Huai's voice was very soft, as if he were sighing.

Su Nianhe looked up at him, puzzled.

"I'm already eighteen."

"Not enough." Shen Huai pressed his large hand on her lower back. "When you're a little older, we'll go get our marriage certificate."

Su Nianhe blushed with embarrassment at his blunt words.

"Who wants to get a marriage certificate with you?" Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's buzz.

Shen Huai was amused by her pathetic appearance.

"If you're not going to register your marriage with me, who are you planning to register it with?" He pinched the back of her neck with his fingertips. "You can only register your marriage with me in this lifetime. Put your plans aside and go to sleep early."

Several heavy footsteps echoed from outside the corridor, accompanied by coughing.

The guesthouse has very poor soundproofing.

Shen Huai released his grip and took half a step back.

"Lock the door. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

Su Nianhe nodded obediently.

Shen Huai opened the door and walked out, closing it behind him.

Hearing the sound of the door to room 204 next door opening and closing, Su Nianhe finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

She pushed the door latch all the way down and lay down on the single bed.

The next morning at seven o'clock sharp, Shen Huai knocked on the door.

The two ate meat buns and tofu pudding at a state-run restaurant across from the guesthouse.

At 8:30, Shen Huai took her to the office building of the provincial capital's supply and marketing cooperative.

In a meeting room on the first floor, I met Shen Huai's college classmate, Lao Xu.

Old Xu was wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit and looked quite shrewd.

"Old Shen, I've taken care of everything you asked me to do over the phone." Old Xu gestured for the two to sit down. "I contacted the two biggest stall owners in the provincial capital's wholesale market. They have cash on hand and are just worried about not having any new stock to sell."

Just as he finished speaking, two people walked in from outside the door.

One was a chubby middle-aged man, and the other was a capable woman in her forties.

"Let me introduce you. This is Boss Wang, and this is Sister Li," Old Xu said, acting as a go-between. "This is my classmate Shen Huai, and this is Boss Su."

When Fatty Wang saw that Su Nianhe was so young and beautiful, he became a little suspicious.

But when he glanced at Shen Huai, who was sitting next to him with an extremely strong aura, he immediately put away his contempt.

"Boss Su, I heard you can get your hands on the latest clothes and pants from the south?" Fatty Wang sat down and got straight to the point.

Su Nianhe took out the prepared speech.

"Yes. Batwing shirts, leggings—any new style that just came out in Guangzhou, we have them all." Su Nianhe spoke clearly and logically. "The goods will be shipped directly to the provincial capital's freight station via long-distance freight."

Sister Li has a short temper.

What is the wholesale price?

Su Nianhe glanced at Shen Huai, who was drinking water from his teacup, letting her do as she pleased.

"The batwing shirts cost you fifteen, so I'll give you a wholesale price of eighteen. The leggings cost you ten, so I'll give you twelve," Su Nianhe set the prices. "But there's a rule: when you distribute them, the retail price cannot be lower than our suggested retail price. You can't engage in price wars yourselves."

Fatty Wang and Sister Li exchanged a glance.

The profit margin is considerable; as long as the goods are truly trendy, they will definitely sell well in the provincial capital.

"Alright, Boss Su is a straightforward man." Fatty Wang took out a few ten-yuan bills from his pocket and placed them on the table. "This is a two-hundred-yuan deposit. Notify us when the goods arrive, and we'll go to the freight station to pick them up and pay the balance."

Sister Li also paid the deposit.

The deal went very smoothly.

As Su Nianhe emerged from the supply and marketing cooperative building, her palms were sweating profusely as she clutched the four hundred yuan deposit in her hand.

"It's settled already?" She still couldn't quite believe it.

Shen Huai opened the jeep door and gestured for her to get in.

"This is just the beginning." Shen Huai got into the driver's seat and started the car. "Old Xu has connections in the supply and marketing system, and Fatty Wang and Sister Li have channels down there. As long as you keep a tight grip on the goods at the source, the money will keep flowing into your pocket."

Su Nianhe carefully put the money into her cloth bag and zipped it up.

"When will Brother He be able to ship the goods?"

"I already made a long-distance call to Guangzhou yesterday." Shen Huai turned the steering wheel and drove the car onto the national highway. "The first batch of goods will arrive at the provincial capital's freight station the day after tomorrow."

The jeep drove smoothly on the national highway.

The midday sun was strong, and the carriage was somewhat stuffy.

Su Nianhe got up early in the morning, and after closing a big deal, she relaxed and felt sleepy.

She leaned back in the passenger seat, her head nodding slightly.

Shen Huai slowed down the car.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and grabbed a coat from the side with the other, covering her directly with it.

Su Nianhe stirred groggily, found a comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Huai turned his head and looked at her sleeping face.

She sleeps very well, her breathing is even.

This trip to the provincial capital was worthwhile; we got the business license and established distribution channels.

At 3 p.m., the jeep drove into Jiang City.

Shen Huai didn't go directly to the textile factory, but instead drove to the entrance of the alley.

Su Nianhe woke up, rubbed her eyes, and folded her coat.

"arrive?"

"Okay, get out of the car." Shen Huai helped her carry her cloth bag.

As soon as the two reached the red lacquered wooden gate, the gate was pulled open from the inside.

Zhu Yuanyuan was carrying a large enamel basin, preparing to pour out water.

Upon seeing Su Nianhe, Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She didn't even pour the water; she simply put the basin aside.

"Nianhe! You're finally back!" Zhu Yuanyuan's loud voice echoed through the alley. "Those girls who went to pick up the goods yesterday all came to see me this morning."

Su Nianhe quickly went inside.

"What's wrong? Is the merchandise not selling well?"

"What do you mean they're not selling well? They're selling like hotcakes!" Zhu Yuanyuan grabbed her hand, slapping her thigh excitedly. "They set up a stall near the department store, selling them for 50 cents each, and they were all sold out in less than half a day. Today, each of them needs to restock fifty sticks. I was just worried that without you, there would be no one to ship them out!"

After hearing this, Su Nianhe felt completely at ease.

"The goods are all sorted out inside the house. I'll start recording the accounts for them now."

Zhu Yuanyuan then noticed Shen Huai standing behind her.

She quickly suppressed her smile, coughed twice, and politely greeted, "Hello, Technical Consultant Shen."

Shen Huai nodded and placed the cloth bag on the stone table.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm going to the factory, I'll come back tonight." After giving his instructions, Shen Huai turned and left the courtyard.

Zhu Yuanyuan watched Shen Huai walk away and then leaned close to Su Nianhe's ear.

"Nianhe, when you two go to the provincial capital, are you booking one room or two?" Zhu Yuanyuan's gossip spirit was burning brightly.

Su Nianhe blushed and gave her a push.

"Don't talk nonsense, we opened two rooms. We're there on official business."

"It's good to get down to business," Zhu Yuanyuan chuckled. "Judging from the way Technical Consultant Shen is, I'll get rid of you sooner or later."

Su Nianhe ignored the conversation and went straight into the main room to take out the account book.

"Hurry up and let them come and pick up the goods, or they'll have to go and get other people's goods."

In the following days, the small courtyard in Jiang City became a wholesale point.

More and more people came as Zhu Yuanyuan introduced them, and Li Lianhua also brought several unemployed relatives from the compound.

A thousand hair accessories were sold out in less than three days.

Su Nianhe sat at the stone table, her abacus clicking away.

After deducting the cost, this batch of hair accessories netted a profit of one hundred yuan.

With the 400 yuan deposit she received in the provincial capital, she now has a considerable sum of money in her hands.

night.

Shen Huai came over after get off work, carrying a takeout roast chicken from a state-run restaurant.

Su Nianhe pushed the ledger in front of him, pointing to the numbers on it as if presenting a treasure.

"Look, it's all sold out."

Shen Huai placed the roast chicken on the table and pulled up a chair to sit down.

He didn't even look at the account book; his gaze fell directly on the tip of her nose, which was stained with ink.

"Boss Su has made something of herself." Shen Huai grabbed a piece of tissue paper and reached out to wipe the ink off the tip of her nose.

"The clothes from the provincial capital will arrive tomorrow." Su Nianhe's eyes sparkled. "Do you think this counts as the starting point for becoming a 'ten-thousand-yuan household'?"

Shen Huai laughed out loud when he saw her greedy look.

"Okay." He tore the roast chicken apart and stuffed a big chicken leg into her bowl.
