Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Li Bowen kissed her gently on the forehead, then slowly got out of bed, walked to the kitchen outside, lit the stove, boiled water and made some millet porridge for her.

Then I took out some vegetables and meat and prepared to make some appetizers for her.

Just as he was busy, he suddenly felt a pair of hands wrapping around his waist from behind and hugging him tightly.

He turned his head and saw that it was Chen Xueru who had been standing behind him at some point.

She was wearing loose pajamas, her hair was a little messy, and she had a lazy look on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

Li Bowen was a little surprised. He asked, "Why are you up? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Chen Xueru gently shook her head and said, "I can't sleep without you, but I feel much better after a good night's sleep!"

After saying that, she leaned her head on Li Bowen's back, feeling the warmth from his body.

Li Bowen felt her closeness and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He continued to be busy with the work in his hands, cooking and chatting with Chen Xueru.

Suddenly Chen Xueru said: "I feel so happy, having you make delicious food for me, I really want it to be like this forever!"

"Hahaha, you're happy, right? I'll do it for you often in the future!"

Chen Xueru nodded and hugged him tighter.

"Okay, there's too much smoke here. Take the dishes back to the house and wait. I'll be ready soon!" Li Bowen handed over a plate of the prepared dish.

"Okay, I'll go back and wait for you!"

After a while, the food was ready. Li Bowen brought out a bowl of fragrant millet porridge and placed it on the dining table, then called Chen Xueru to come over for dinner.

The two sat opposite each other. They didn't drink today because they were not feeling well. Li Bowen put some food in Chen Xueru's bowl and said, "Try this sweet and sour pork tenderloin. It tastes sweet and sour. I put a little more sugar on purpose. It will definitely whet your appetite!"

She picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes really good."

Li Bowen smiled and replied: "If you like it, eat more."

After eating and drinking, the two came to the living room. Li Bowen sat on the sofa, while Chen Xueru picked up the teapot and started to make tea. She asked casually, "Are you here for something today?"

Li Bowen chuckled: "If nothing happens, why can't I come to see you?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Tsk! I don't believe it! You haven't come here since you left me last time. Why did you suddenly think of me?"

Li Bowen smiled helplessly and said, "Haha, what you said is too hurtful. I'm on a business trip, and I've been wanting to see you since I came back, but I never had the time. I just came here as soon as I had some free time. But I do need your help this time."

"Hmph, I knew it!" Chen Xueru snorted and said with a pout.

Li Bowen explained with a smile: "This is no small matter. It may be a very good thing for you. If you don't want it, I will find someone else!" As he said that, he took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru took it with suspicion, unfolded it, and immediately widened her eyes and said in surprise: "You need so much at once?"

"Yes, this is also prepared for the herdsmen on the grassland. It will be ready in a few days, and I will have to go there again! Do you have enough stock in your store?" Li Bowen said with a smile.

Chen Xueru raised her lips and revealed a confident smile: "You underestimate me, don't you? Let alone a hundred horses, even if you want three or five hundred horses, I can give you one. But this business is boring, it's all public property, and I can't make much money!"

Li Bowen chuckled and said, "Hahaha, you're still short of this little money. If you can attract this kind of business, the higher-ups will look at you with more respect in the future. If you promote it more, it will definitely be good for you in the future. This will definitely be a long-term supply, and the demand on the grassland is still huge!"

Chen Xueru nodded: "Okay, then let's go talk to Manager Gongfang tomorrow! By the way, how is the mutton business you told me about last time?" She looked at Li Bowen and asked expectantly.

Li Bowen replied, "It's basically done. We'll go over and finalize it this time. We'll supply them once a quarter in the future, and bring them back together with the ones from our factory. No one will check on the way. I thought you could have someone pick up the goods directly from our factory. But I haven't finalized this yet, and there may be one more person to share the money. I'll tell you when it's confirmed!"

Chen Xueru nodded: "Well, you can decide on this matter. Anyway, I have a ready-made sales channel here!"

After finishing the serious business, the two sat together drinking tea and talking about sweet things, and gradually it became late.

Chen Xueru lay in Li Bowen's arms and glanced at him: "Are you going back tonight?"

"No need to go back. I'll stay here with you if you're not feeling well!" Li Bowen said while stroking her hair.

"Then carry me back to the house!" There was a hint of charm in Chen Xueru's eyes.

The next morning, when Li Bowen woke up, the people around him had already gotten up. When he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Chen Xueru busy setting up breakfast.

Seeing him coming out, Chen Xueru walked over briskly and pecked him on the face: "Breakfast is ready, come and eat!"

The two of them finished their sweet breakfast before going out together and walking towards the silk shop.

It takes two people to meet with the manager.

After the Liao Yucheng incident, the public manager assigned this time was a woman in her forties named Kuang Xinzhi. She had a kind face and was very polite when she saw the two of them.

After explaining his purpose, Li Bowen also specifically emphasized that this business fell into their hands because he and Chen Xueru were friends.

Kuang Xinzhi smiled and said, "I am really grateful to Section Chief Li for choosing our silk and satin shop. It is our responsibility to provide help to our brothers and sisters on the grassland. I will definitely report Manager Chen's contribution to my superiors."

"Hahaha, thank you very much, Manager Kuang. If you need any help in the future, you can ask Manager Chen to come to me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Kuang Xinzhi was also happy to have such a relationship. After all, the power embodied by a purchasing manager of a large factory was not comparable to that of a manager of a small store like her. If she needed any scarce materials in the future, she might really need help from others.

Only after everything was agreed upon did Li Bowen return to the steel rolling mill.

At this time, the factory was very busy, and workers were lining up to hand in clothes that they could not wear at home.

In fact, it's not that there are no clothes to wear, but this is a task that has to be done. Yesterday, after Li Huaide and Director Yang finished discussing it, they directly broadcast on the loudspeaker to call on all employees in the factory to donate clothes to the herdsmen on the grassland, and also asked party members to take the lead.

There is no other choice but to take it from home. Otherwise, even if the clothes are very torn, you can make something else out of them by taking them apart. If all else fails, you can just patch them up. Who would be willing to take them out?
