24. Chapter XXIV
The reputation of auspicious vinegar has become more and more widespread in the provincial capital, and it has almost occupied the middle and high-end market of the provincial capital.
Even some guests go to the restaurant and ask if it is auspicious vinegar when they use edible vinegar.
Because the vinegar in the restaurant is bulk vinegar, so the price is not a few pennies more expensive than other vinegar, and many large restaurants in the provincial capital have begun to establish a cooperative relationship with Jixiang Vinegar Factory.
"Those factories seem to have paid bonuses this month."
In the business office of Jixiang Vinegar Factory, several young men sighed around together.
They have been in the vinegar factory for a month, but they don't have any tasks at all. The proprietor just let them sit in the office and learn about auspicious vinegar. This makes everyone feel quite depressed. Although the salary can ensure food and clothing, it is best to get a bonus. There is no job offer, not even a chance to get a bonus.
The point is, people don't think it's anything to learn. Who is not jealous, do you still need to learn?
Of course, everyone can only bury these words in their hearts, and they dare not say them to Ruan Huizhen in person.
After all, everyone's life in the factory is really good now. This month alone, everyone feels that their health is much better, and the brothers and sisters in the family who have not been able to enter the factory have not looked as good as themselves. And he wears decent clothes in and out every day, and others look up to him.
Chen Tian came in from outside with a bunch of materials, and saw a few people talking together, but he didn't speak, but he buried his head and began to look at the notes he had just taken in the workshop.
Lin Hui, the technical manager of the factory, is a very kind person, usually they have problems, as long as they do not involve technical secrets, they are all aware of it. Chen Tian would go to the vinegar factory every day to have a look. From the people who used to only be jealous, now they can be regarded as almost half of the vinegar masters. And it is also known that vinegar is good for the human body.
Originally, vinegar can be divided into aged vinegar, balsamic vinegar, rice vinegar, sweet and sour...... and many other varieties. The taste of each is somewhat similar, but the flavor is different. And vinegar can promote digestion, anti-aging, and even prevent some diseases.
Chen Tian enthusiastically absorbs this knowledge that he once didn't know every day. For the first time, he felt the importance of knowledge so strongly. It's obviously a very common thing, but when you really study it, it turns out that there are so many famous names.
The others watched Chen Tian studying, and they all came over curiously.
"Chen Tian, what do you watch all day? You didn't think to mention it to the owner and let us go out to run business? β
Everyone else also looked at Chen Tian. It would be best if someone had asked about it.
Chen Tiandao, "The boss must be justified in doing this." Raising us is also a loss for the boss. Why does she want to suffer losses and not let us go out to make money? β
"That's what I said, but if we don't go out, we can't make money. We eat well and dress well, the key is our family. β
Assistant Xiao Zhu watched every day, and they couldn't go back if they wanted to bring something to eat.
Chen Tian smiled, "Let's go out now, others ask us what kind of vinegar we have in the factory, do you know?" β
The others looked at each other. This is really not clear.
When Chen Tian looked at their expressions, he knew that these people were muttering nonsense all day long, but they hadn't studied well. "Do you know who our vinegar is sold to?"
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he said, "Look, we don't know ourselves, in case the customer goes out to ask another day, we can't answer it ourselves, isn't it a joke." Alright, I'll have to read the notes. β
Soon, the office was quiet, and after a while, people in the office went out one after another.
In the office on the other side, Ruan Huizhen was looking at the ledger with Lin Hui.
In the month that the factory opened, their shipments increased greatly. In this month alone, I have entered one hundred and fifty oceans.
That's a multiplication.
Of course, along with the rent of the factory and the increase in the wages of more than a dozen people, including their daily lunch money and clothing money.
Fortunately, compared to these expenses, the accounting is still considerable.
The provincial market is only so big. After Ruan Huizhen recognized this reality, she looked outside.
"My idea is definitely to go to some big city. But now they haven't gone out to talk about business. I guess it's better to let them exercise nearby. There are still a few counties below Jiangnan Province, so let them try it. β
The salesmen of the Republic of China who finally got the task were overjoyed. As for the knowledge that you haven't learned to play yet, it doesn't matter, take the road to cramming temporarily. I don't have to stay in the office anyway.
Several salesmen went out for the first time, and they didn't know what to bring, so they hurried home one by one to pack their things. By the way, I took a small bottle of each of my own vinegar as a sample.
"Big brother, you must do a good job." When the salesman Xiao Liu went out, the youngest sister chased her barefoot to the mouth of the alley and watched her brother leave.
The elder brother said that he would definitely earn money and come back, and they would be able to eat enough in the future.
"Son, take care of yourself outside." Chen's mother instructed while packing her son's luggage.
Chen Tiandao, "Mother, don't worry, I used to go to a lot of places." When I make money this time, let's change the land. β
β¦β¦
When the salesmen were busy, Ruan Huizhen also received a letter from Shanghai.
It was sent by the original private investigator.
At the beginning, Ruan Huizhen gave too little information, only the name was known, and it was from Jiangnan Province. In the bustling Shanghai, looking for such a person is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.
The private detective finally followed the clues and found the person who was suspected of Yu Tianqi.
However, this news is not good news.
Because of this, Yu Tianqi is married and has a five-year-old daughter. And in the eyes of outsiders, husband and wife are affectionate.
Looking at the background information about this Yu Tianqi found by the private detective, Ruan Huizhen is 100% sure that this person is Lin Hui's husband and Xiaohui's father who has never met.
The reality is still developing in the direction that she least wants to see, which makes Ruan Huizhen feel a little embarrassed.
Is it to sue sΓΉ Lin Hui, or not to sue sΓΉ?
"Lin Hui, are you still waiting for Xiaohui's father to come back?"
While eating in the office at noon, Ruan Huizhen asked tentatively.
When Lin Hui heard this, she paused for her meal and looked up at her, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" β
"I'm just curious, he hasn't come back all these years."
"As long as he hasn't come back, I'm going to keep waiting. That's what we promised. And I have Xiaohui, and Xiaohui will wait with me. Lin Hui had a little tenderness on her face.
Ruan Huizhen pinched the chopsticks, "If, I mean if, Xiaohui's father is also like Lu Canwen?" You know, six years, anything can happen. β
Lin Hui's face suddenly turned pale and she bit her lip, "He won't, he promised me that he would definitely come back." β
Ruan Huizhen really couldn't stand it. The man had already married another wife and had children. Lin Hui is still waiting with the child, which is even more scum than Lu Canwen.
Forget it, Lu Canwen doesn't mention it.
She rubbed her head, "Lin Hui, let me ask you." What would happen if something like the one I said happened? β
"No, it won't."
"I said if, you come back to me, what if?" Ruan Huizhen's face was resolute.
Lin Hui pinched her chopsticks and said half-loudly, "I don't know, I've never thought about this problem." β
Ruan Huizhen sighed, "Forget it, let's go back and talk about it." β
In the afternoon, Ruan Huizhen thought about it for a long time in the office. I still decided to tell Lin Hui about this matter.
There are some truths that must be faced. It's better to know earlier than later.
On the way home, neither of them said a word, Xiaohui took Lin Hui's hand and swayed, looked at Ruan Huizhen, and then at Lin Hui, and seemed to sense that something was wrong with the two.
As soon as she entered the house, Ruan Huizhen asked Xiaohui to go to her room to do her homework. Then he handed her a stack of documents, "Go back to the house and take a look, don't let Xiaohui know." You are a mother now, and you have to think about Xiaohui at all times. β
Lin Hui looked at these materials puzzled, and when she saw Yu Tianqi's words, her face was suddenly full of excitement, and her whole person trembled slightly.
"Let's go inside and see." Ruan Huizhen said.
Then he turned around and went back to his room.
Nguyen Huizhen has not experienced love, so she can't understand those who want to live and die for love. I can't understand hurting others for love.
Just like Lu Canwen before, she doesn't think that Lu Canwen and Lin Xiuran are true love, so she feels that she should understand them.
She saw only another poor woman who had been hurt.
At this time, Lin Hui couldn't understand that a woman was still waiting for so many years without any news.
Soon, muffled sobs came from the next room.
Xiaohui listened, quickly got up and ran out.
Ruan Huizhen also stood up and followed.
"Mom, what's wrong, why are you crying?" Xiaohui rushed into the room, looking at his mother with an anxious face.
Lin Hui covered her mouth and cried tremblingly, and after seeing Xiaohui, she finally couldn't help but hold the child tightly in her arms, "Xiaohui, Xiaohui......"
The mother and son hugged and cried for a while, Xiaohui was already held and fell asleep, and Lin Hui stopped.
Because Lin Hui was crying too scary just now, Xiaohui was also scared and cried, and there were tears on his face and water beads on his eyelashes.
Lin Hui put the child on the bed and walked out of the door.
Ruan Huizhen was drinking flower tea outside, and when she heard the movement, she glanced back. Lin Hui walked over with her hands tightly clasped, her face full of sadness, as if she had lost all hope overnight.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she sobbed, "Huizhen, is it true, these are all true?" β
Ruan Huizhen looked at her calmly, "Didn't you already guess it?" In fact, over the years, you already have the answer in your heart, but you just force yourself not to think about it. β
"How can he ...... like this" Lin Hui covered her mouth and squatted on the ground and cried. There was a burst of pain in my heart that was torn apart.
"He gave up a qiΔ and wanted to marry me. We gave birth to Xiaohui, and he said that we would be together for the rest of our lives. He promised me. β
It is precisely because of the vigor of love at the beginning that she has a firm belief over the years.
She didn't believe that people who loved each other would betray their love.
"Actually, I knew from the beginning that my identity was not worthy of him. But he pursued me hard, and he gave me courage. He said that we are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. I believe in him, Huizhen, I really believe in him. β
Lin Hui choked up and sat on the ground crying. "What to do, what should I do?"
Ruan Huizhen got up, walked over and squatted down, looking at her with a peaceful look in his eyes, "At this time, what should you think about is, what should Xiaohui do?" Lin Hui, now Xiaohui only has one relative, you. You are his mother, and what you have to do now is to cheer up and raise Xiaohui well, instead of practicing yourself for a negative person. Thinking about me and Lu Canwen, I watched him and others greet me with my own eyes, and watched that woman show off her power in front of me. And you should be glad you didn't see it. From now on, forget about that person and start a new life. β
In order to persuade Lin Hui to think about opening up, she directly pulled Lu Canwen and Lin Xiuran out as examples.
Lin Hui sat and cried for a while, her heart was in turmoil. After a while, I finally calmed down, "I, I want to go to Shanghai." Do you know where he is? β
Ruan Huizhen nodded, "I know, but I don't want you to go now." You go now, and you won't get anything but humiliate that woman and be angry with the Yu family. And if they know about Xiaohui's deposit, they will probably snatch Xiaohui. β
When Lin Hui heard this, the whole person was stunned.
"No, I won't let anyone snatch Xiaohui's place."
"I know, I don't want Xiaohui to be snatched away. So now we're going to pick ourselves up. Think about our auspicious vinegar factory, didn't I say that one day, we will promote this brand to the whole country, and at that time, no one can underestimate us anymore. The people of the Yu family can't do it either! β
Seeing that Lin Hui was sitting on the ground and did not react, Ruan Huizhen did not speak again.
This kind of thing still depends on your own thoughts. If Lin Hui insisted on going to Shanghai to find Yu Tianqi, she would also give Lin Hui the address. But as a good friend, she didn't want Lin Hui to suffer this kind of sin.
At this time, love is really a luxury. When she is incapacitated, a woman can only be reduced to a vassal of her lover and can be discarded at any time.
Before she got up the next day, Ruan Huizhen was woken up by Xiaohui's knock on the door.
She hurriedly opened the door with her clothes on, and saw Xiaohui standing at the door with an anxious face, "Sister Huizhen, my mother is sick." β
"Sick?" Ruan Huizhen hurriedly buttoned up her clothes and walked towards Lin Hui's house.
Maybe it was because the blow was too big, or maybe she cried for too long last night, and Lin Hui actually started to have a fever.
Ruan Huizhen hurriedly went to the doctor and treated Lin Hui.
Xiaohui lay on the edge of the bed, holding his mother's hand tightly.
After the doctor left, Ruan Huizhen sat on the edge of the bed and said to Lin Hui, "Look at Xiaohui, you are sick like this, what should Xiaohui do?" You don't have to worry about things in the factory, I'll watch. Don't go to the factory these days, take a good rest. I'll let Xiao Zhu take care of you. β
She originally wanted to use space water to help Lin Hui heal, but after thinking about it, if some pains are too easy, it will be difficult to see the reality clearly.
Seeing Lin Hui like this, Ruan Huizhen felt very uncomfortable.
Maybe if she didn't have much to do, Lin Hui wouldn't be like this. But she can't know it and not tell the other party.
The only thing that made Ruan Huizhen feel better was that the salesmen who went to the county town to talk about business came back one after another.
No matter what methods are used, they all bring some performance back. Even if you don't bring back performance, you write an analysis report.
As Ruan Huizhen expected, Chen Tian's performance was indeed the best. He not only imitated the way of the provincial city to talk about a consignment sales, but also signed a cooperation agreement with a restaurant.
If this business is done, it can get more than ten oceans a month. According to the five percent stratification proposed by Ruan Huizhen, Chen Tian can get an extra 15 cents a month.
And this is the first business. The more customers you talk about later, the more money you have. A few oceans a month is possible.
Chen Tian's achievements made others envious. Several people gathered around Chen Tian to discuss the experience.
Ruan Huizhen found that Chen Tian was very generous, as long as he came to ask, he answered carefully, but he was not worried about teaching the apprentice and starving the master to death.
She pondered that after these people went to Shanghai for an inspection, she would see the final results. If you can, you can develop a business manager.
Xiao Zhu came back at noon. Ruan Huizhen saw her come back and said in surprise, "Didn't you arrange for you to accompany Lin Hui at home?" β
Manager Lin said that it was already good and would not let me accompany her. And when I left, she was changing her clothes and seemed ready to go out. β
Out? Ruan Huizhen's heart skipped a beat, and secretly said that Lin Hui wouldn't really be unable to think about it, so she had to chase it to Shanghai.
This may have made her a little worried.
She stood up, thinking about whether to go and get Lin Hui back. But when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong. Lin Hui couldn't just leave without saying a word, so she had to arrange Xiaohui.
She didn't believe that Lin Hui would really ignore the child and go to Shanghai to find Yu Tianqi willfully.
Until the afternoon, Ruan Huizhen was a little worried. She sighed and said to herself. Everyone has their own opinions, and no one can say who is right and who is wrong.
After thinking about it, she didn't worry about it anymore. Instead, he began to write propaganda drafts for the factory, ready to start publicity in Shanghai.
"Hello Manager Lin." Xiao Zhu's voice came from outside.
Ruan Huizhen paused, and as soon as she looked up, she watched Lin Hui walk in.
Her long hair was short, with short ear-length hair and a modest dress. The pale face looked a little haggard, but the whole person seemed to be reborn.
