24. If I meet a kindred spirit, she is simply a dream lover.
Look at that short-haired girl wearing a blue long gown.
She is very good-looking; is she sneaking a laugh? At this moment, Lin Yibai’s shoulders are shaking, and her face is slightly flushed from trying to suppress her laughter.
Please, give me a break.
Can you please stop laughing?
Yes, Xia Changyu is feeling really embarrassed and has lost face.
He didn’t expect his girlfriend to be so ‘foolish.’
Just look at that girl named ‘Lin Baiyi,’ and then look at his girlfriend’s foolish words; it’s completely obvious who’s better!
Xia Changyu can only say: there are differences among girls too.
He even doubts whether marrying Gu Xiaoxue in the future would really not affect their next generation’s IQ.
Xia Changyu wants to argue: “Me!”
But looking at Gu Xiaoxue and her roommates’ ‘confident’ appearances, he feels as if all his strength has been drained.
It’s that kind of helpless feeling where no matter how much you explain to a fool, they won’t listen and will stick to their own opinions, got it?
After a long silence, he finally said, “Xiaoxue, why don’t you go back with your roommates first? It’s getting hotter in the afternoon, maybe you all should rest?”
On the surface, he pretends to be worried that they are getting tired.
In reality, he is urging them to leave quickly, as long as they stop bothering him, OK?
At first, Gu Xiaoxue and the others were a bit reserved.
Considering there was nothing to do in the exhibition stand area other than enjoying the air conditioning and playing on their phones, it was extremely boring.
Making money is a man’s job.
They just need to take care of being beautiful.
Gu Xiaoxue nodded in agreement, “Okay then, we’ll head back first, and don’t forget about tonight!”
Xia Changyu: “Forget what?”
Yang Yueping rolled her eyes at him and interjected, “Are you stupid? Of course, don’t forget you promised to accompany Xiaoxue shopping!”
Xia Changyu: “……”
He just remembered that there indeed was such a thing, but was it really up to her to remind him?
Moreover, the task of setting up the exhibition stand these past few days has already worn him out both physically and mentally.
He was saying that if Gu Xiaoxue could be sensible and understand his hard work, that would be nice.
However,
All he received was Gu Xiaoxue’s hopeful gaze.
Actually, Xia Changyu didn’t want to go shopping at all because he was too tired, but he still forced a smile and said, “Okay, I’ll try to get back early tonight and accompany you to go shopping.”
Gu Xiaoxue: “Great!”
Yang Yueping said, “And us too!”
Xia Changyu: “#！！！#” A string of symbols appeared on his forehead.
Fine, fine!
For Xiaoxue’s sake, he wouldn’t argue with them.
Fortunately, he finally managed to send Gu Xiaoxue and her roommates back.
After they left his exhibition stand, it seemed like the world started to become a better place.
Xia Changyu’s gaze shifted again to a certain girl wandering around in the E Zone, finally able to appreciate beautiful women properly.
Speaking of which, Gu Xiaoxue is also beautiful.
Moreover, she’s a big beauty in her department.
Is this what they call “a flower at home is not as fragrant as a wildflower”? Xia Changyu doesn’t consider himself a playboy, but he doesn’t know why… he just feels that with Gu Xiaoxue, especially when her roommates are around, his mood becomes very gloomy.
But the girl called ‘Lin Baiyi,’ who now catches his eye, is different.
Whether it was during their previous conversation or from afar as he observes now, Xia Changyu only feels a deep-seated comfort.
“……If I could just talk to her, that would be great.” Xia Changyu frowned for a moment, then looked at the ceramics in his exhibition area and then back at the girl who had just returned to the front desk.
An idea suddenly sparked.
He waited until the late afternoon when the exhibition area was not very busy.
Xia Changyu finally strolled up to the front desk.
Xia Changyu: “Um, hello!”
“Hello, how can I help you?” Lin Yibai just started to show a work smile, but upon seeing the visitor, her expression instantly turned cold as she said, “Chatting about non-work matters is prohibited, and please do not disturb my work, thank you.”
There’s no need to show a good face to a rival in love.
Lin Yibai wished she could punch him.
Why not set up a steel cage for a 1VS1 with the rival in love? Beat him to death, and that’s the game!
Obviously, Xia Changyu did not want to give up.
After hesitating, he asked, “So what kind of situation does not count as idle chit-chat?”
Lin Yibai impatiently replied, “If there are any issues with your exhibition stand or if you encounter any difficulties, we can provide relevant assistance, etc. Got it?”
“Can I understand that you’re responsible for providing a certain level of consultation?”
“That’s correct.”
“Then regarding my exhibition area, do you have any good suggestions?”
“None.”
No, are you annoying or what?
Could you possibly share some of your earnings with me, or what?
In the end, it still becomes your bragging capital, so this kind of “aiding the enemy” behavior is only for the foolish.
But Xia Changyu is not a simple person; he has already gradually grasped the boundaries he can inquire about through their brief conversation.
To continue extending the topic.
He didn’t ask Lin Yibai about specific methods, nor did he have the face to ask, and instead shifted to another topic, smiling as he said, “Xiaoxue… um, I mean what my girlfriend and her roommates said, you must have heard it too, right?”
“What did they say?”
“You were secretly laughing at the time.”
“Oh!” Lin Yibai suddenly dawned upon it.
Xia Changyu nodded and then asked, “I noticed you seemed like you wanted to laugh back then; did you have a different thought about it?”
Lin Yibai said calmly, “Why should I tell you?”
Xia Changyu replied, “Because this is my consulting topic; you can choose not to tell me, but if possible… it would be great if you could share it with me.”
What to talk about? What a waste of breath?
Lin Yibai looked at the sky dyed with the sunset outside and noticed that it was almost time for off work.
After a long tiring day, she began to pack her things, wanting to be the first to catch the bus home after work.
But…
Fine, fine!!
It seems the stinky rival will also be mentally exhausted today after being tormented by Gu Xiaoxue’s roommates.
Lin Yibai turned around and quietly said, “About Xiaoxue… I mean what your girlfriend said about selling things in November and December while it’s only April now, you already knew the answer in your heart, right?”
“I want to hear your thoughts.”
“What’s there to listen to?”
“I want to see if it matches what I think.”
“You.” Lin Yibai wanted to say that the rival in love was truly disgusting, but in the end, she shrugged and said, “It’s well known that this kind of transoceanic trade has a time span that needs to be measured in months or even quarters. It’s not like you can produce something today and have it delivered to Jiangsu or Zhejiang in three days. Since it’s late April now, if you’ve received the contract and entrusted it to the factory, getting your order in July or August would be considered efficient. Moreover, contracts for transoceanic trade are generally not small; otherwise, they wouldn’t be profitable. A production cycle of one or two months is quite normal. Even the fastest it will reach the client is around October or November, just in time for the foreign hot sales season. After all, the foreigners are not fools either; they also have warehousing costs and calculated the timing before placing their orders.”
Nice!
Her analysis was very accurate.
Xia Changyu’s eyes lit up, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
