Chapter 500 Happy Days of Eating with Mom
Xu Sui shook her head.
"Of course not, Director Ma. Don't you trust me? We've shared many meals together."
"Look, your factory was able to connect with two foreign friends this time. It was me who made the connection, and it was me who came up with the solution."
Then, she changed the subject and said calmly:
"Director Ma, I'm quite busy. Just give me a straight answer: do you want to do this business?"
"If you're not going to do it, then I'll find someone else."
Upon hearing this, Factory Director Ma immediately became anxious.
"No, no, no, Director Xu, of course I believe you. What kind of relationship do we have? How could I not believe you?"
"But when it comes to doing business, you have to tell me what kind of business it is first. This factory doesn't belong to me alone, and there are some things I can't necessarily make decisions about."
Xu Sui is now a celebrity in Nanshan County. Everyone wants to get on her good side, not to mention these old guys who have been through thick and thin for so many years.
People from other counties, cities, and even factories in other provinces started calling them, wanting to find out who Xu Sui was.
How did a small machinery factory with only a hundred or so employees suddenly earn so much foreign exchange and even get connected with the largest machinery factory in Beijing?
They couldn't very well not answer when people called from so far away, but what if they answered too many times? What if those people managed to get close to Xu Sui first and become rich before them?
Therefore, they half-jokingly coaxed those people and finally managed to get rid of them.
Xu Sui: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to buy some of the abandoned textile machines from your factory."
"Director Ma, you can sell it to me. I guarantee I'll offer a higher price than the purchasing station. Let's just consider it a friendly gesture between our two factories."
Factory Director Ma was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
"What, you want to buy all the scrap metal from our factory?"
"Of course, if you're willing, Director Ma, you can give it to our factory for free," Xu Sui added.
Factory Director Ma's heart plummeted from the sky to the ground in an instant, experiencing all the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness at once.
He plopped down in the chair, his wrinkled old face drooping.
"What kind of business is this, Director Xu? Don't joke with me. I'm easily frightened."
Selling scrap metal doesn't bring in much money.
Xu Sui quickly realized that this person was overthinking things.
"As the saying goes, every little bit counts. Even a small mosquito bite is still meat. Director Ma, how come selling scrap metal isn't considered business?"
Factory Director Ma has just experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, and he's currently extremely annoyed, so he has no mood to chat with Xu Sui about these things.
"Alright, alright, I thought it was something serious. Don't bother me with these little things in the future. Consider that scrap as a gift to you. Just find a vehicle to pick it up yourself."
After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
Xu Sui: "..."
Okay, that saves me some money.
This budget can be used to provide extra meals for the workers in the canteen.
"Mom, are you done with your work? Can I come in and have dinner with you?"
Just then, a familiar child's voice came from the doorway.
Her daughter, Yao Yao, stood at the door of her office, holding several lunchboxes, peeking out her cute little head and blinking her beautiful, watery almond-shaped eyes at her.
Like a pretty and cute little kitten.
If we don't eat soon, the food will get cold.
My mother has a stomach ailment and cannot eat cold food.
But her mother was working and on the phone, so she couldn't disturb her.
So she held the lunchbox tightly in her arms, warming it against her tummy, and it's still warm now.
"You're done with your work, Yao Yao. You can come in now. Even if Mommy isn't finished with her work, you can come in and find a place to sit and wait quietly for Mommy. You don't have to stand outside the door all the time."
Xu Sui had been busy all morning, and all her fatigue seemed to disappear the moment she saw her daughter.
She had just opened her arms, gesturing for her daughter to come over.
Yao Yao's eyes sparkled, and she immediately understood what her mother meant.
She ran over in a flash with her short legs, jumped into her arms, and held up the two lunchboxes in her hands so that her mother could see them at a glance.
"Mom, Mom, I made braised pork, it's still hot, Mom, let's eat together."
She'd been so busy that she'd almost forgotten to eat lunch.
Xu Sui felt a warmth in her heart. She reached out and touched her daughter's little head. "Yaoyao is such a good baby."
"However, if this happens again, Yao Yao can eat by herself first, instead of waiting for Mommy on an empty stomach."
"If Yao Yao goes hungry, Mom will feel sorry for her."
"No, no, I want to wait for Mom. I'll eat whenever Mom eats. If Mom keeps not eating on time, I won't eat on time either."
The thought that her mother often skipped meals because of work and had even developed stomach problems made Yao Yao's little face puff up with anger as she looked at her mother with serious eyes.
"Mom, you can't keep doing this. If you do, I won't talk to you anymore."
"I'm a child, and I'm so obedient. You're an adult, so you should be even more obedient."
Now, of the four members of their family, the older brother is sick, the mother is sick, and only she and her father are still healthy.
Thinking of this, Yao Yao's eyes instantly reddened, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Xu Sui's arms. Her nose tingled, and she started to sob.
"Mommy, Mommy, waaaah, please be a good girl and eat on time, okay..."
That's terrible. There were only four people in their family to begin with, and two of them are sick.
So tragic, my brother is tragic, and my mother is tragic too.
She and her father both had a tough time, with a disobedient mother who wouldn't eat properly and a cold and sick brother.
Waaah, she's so pitiful. She's so young, how could she be so pitiful...
Hearing her daughter cry, Xu Sui panicked a little and quickly bent down to comfort her, holding her daughter tightly in her arms and kissing her little face.
"Okay, okay, Mommy will be good, Mommy will be good, Yao Yao, don't cry anymore, Mommy will definitely eat well from now on."
She never imagined that her daughter had already noticed her stomach problems and was so worried about her.
The stomach problem wasn't too serious, so she didn't tell anyone.
No wonder she's been coming to have lunch with Yao Yao every day since she came to the city.
Yao Yao would throw a tantrum if she didn't eat on time.
At first, Xu Sui thought Yao Yao was being a bit fussy, but it turned out that the child was doing it all for her health.
Hearing her mother's promise, Yao Yao finally stopped crying. She looked up at Xu Sui with teary eyes, hugged her arm, and acted coquettishly, but her tone was very serious.
"Mom, you're the adult, and I'm the child. You can't lie to a child. You have to keep your word, eat on time, eat properly, and don't get sick again."
If she keeps crying, her mother will have to comfort her, and then she won't be able to eat on time.
