"Alright, just because of the boss’s words, we’re paying with peace of mind." Lin Wan smiled and handed the boss several bills.
The boss gave them a receipt, and when they received the goods, they would hand the slip to the truck driver, who would take it to the rchant to ask for the money.
The couple chose a Haier, priced at three thousand one hundred yuan.
Once the goods arrive, they simply need to pay the truck driver.
To be honest, these rchants face quite a lot of risks. If the truck driver absconds with the paynt, they’d suffer a huge loss.
This is quite similar to logistics companies in the future, where many logistics companies engaged in large-scale capital appropriation and scam activities.
After leaving the store, Lin Wan held Han Yi’s arm and laughed heartily, "Now our ho has a TV, fridge, and washing machine—all set. Goodness, I’m really doing great as a ten-thousand-yuan household."
This kind of affectionate gesture didn’t make Han Yi feel awkward because here it was more open than in S City. Walking on the streets, quite a few girls wore short skirts, so quite short. The kind of intimate interactions like those between him and Lin Wan were common; people weren’t surprised by it. Speaking of which, their kind of affectionate gestures had beco very usual. During assignnts, he’d seen foreigners hugging and cuddling outside on the streets quite normally.
"Yes, yes, we’re counting on you now, dear wife," Han Yi complinted without hesitation, not feeling like he was being dependent, "Are you tired? Want to rest for a bit?"
"I’m not tired, let’s go check out the place ahead."
Han Yi looked down at the several bags in his hands and chuckled helplessly, agreeing with his comrades’ saying that when won talk about shopping, they go wild.
Lin Wan and Han Yi spent the whole morning at the trade market and returned to the hotel for a rest until three in the afternoon. After that, they went to the foreign trade market.
The market here sold quite a lot of foreign goods. Looking at the items Han Yi was carrying, it was evident that the morning’s purchases were just trifles; the afternoon ones were the main batch. Han Yi estimated they’d spent roughly five to six hundred yuan.
However, Lin Wan managed to find out the address of a few large machinery factories here, planning to visit them the next day.
By coincidence, they t the two foreigners they had previously rescued by the river.
"Oh, it’s you guys. I still rember you," greeted Jason.
Lin Wan and Han Yi were montarily surprised, not expecting to encounter them here.
"Hello, hello, your Chinese is quite good," Lin Wan quickly smiled and stepped forward to shake hands, praising him.
"All learned here. Also, my dear wife is a good teacher."
"Are you here to shop?" i asked in surprise.
Lin Wan glanced at her hands, then at Han Yi’s, and shrugged at him embarrassedly. Han Yi smiled helplessly, not annoyed.
Lin Wan nodded to i, "Are you still traveling here?"
"No, no, we’re discussing a project here."
During this eting, Jason and i, as a couple, insisted they not leave and took them to a café. Lin Wan was surprised there was already a café here.
After chatting for a while, Jason and i got to know Lin Wan and Han Yi’s nas and found out about Jason and i’s business in garnt machinery.
They were here to discuss cooperation with a machinery factory in Shanghai.
Upon learning that Lin Wan intended to open a garnt factory and wanted to purchase machinery, Jason and i imdiately exclaid excitedly, "We have machinery for you, a whole set of garnt manufacturing machines. Our technology is far more advanced than yours here, so this ti we’re also responding to your national policy."
"That’s wonderful, we won’t have to waste our efforts running around," Lin Wan realized that their goods must be of good quality.
"Unfortunately, we didn’t bring many machines this ti, only prototypes, which are currently stored at Shanghai’s First Machinery Factory," i said. "If you’re free tomorrow, I will first take you to see the machines, and we’ll help you bring back a batch of what you need."
Lin Wan and Han Yi exchanged smiles.
The four enjoyed a pleasant conversation, and in the end, i insisted on taking them out for dinner. Han Yi was relieved since he wasn’t used to the western-style coffee.
Fortunately, they had a car, so they didn’t have to carry things to dinner exhaustingly. On the way, i sat in the back with Lin Wan, talking about her fondness for this place.
"Shanghai has so many snacks, I’m completely enchanted by your Chinese cuisine. I now don’t want to go back to my place."
"Yes, our Chinese cuisine is not only about taste and appearance but also nutrition. If you have ti, you should visit different places more."
"I definitely will; if this partnership succeeds, we will visit here more and more often."
Jason took them to the Shanghai restaurant they considered the best.
They parted in the end, with Jason driving them back to the hotel and agreeing to pick them up early the next morning.
Han Yi and Lin Wan were worn out from the day’s shopping, instantly collapsing onto the bed without the desire to move.
"Honey, once I manage to launch the garnt factory and make big money, let’s buy a car, shall we?" Lin Wan leaned closer to Han Yi, acting sweet.
"Having a car sure would be nice; today I asked Jason, and his car cost over thirty thousand yuan. They bought it in Shanghai for convenience," Han Yi wrapped his arms around Lin Wan and kissed her cheek.
"Thirty thousand, it’s so expensive," Lin Wan lanted since her current funds were planned for buying land, building factories, and purchasing machinery.
"Alas, if only we could get rich overnight."
Han Yi amusingly tapped Lin Wan’s forehead, "Daydreaming. You must be tired; let’s wash up and sleep."
"Honey, where’s that little box I bought today?" Lin Wan squinted and asked.
"It’s in the bag." Han Yi didn’t know what she had bought; the small box didn’t have a product na on it.
Lin Wan quickly got off the bed to find the item, mysteriously hiding it under the pillow.
Then she urged Han Yi, "Honey, hurry and take a shower."
Han Yi looked at Lin Wan amusingly, gave her cheek a quick peck, and headed out with his clothes.
Lin Wan then grabbed her own clothes and went to the shower room.
Han Yi returned urgently, and Lin Wan was already lying on the bed. Han Yi laughed as he pinned her beneath him, his hands starting to roam restlessly.
"Tell , what did you hide just then? It’s so mysterious."
Lin Wan chuckled softly, pulling out a transparent balloon wrapped in a transparent plastic bag from beneath the pillow.
Han Yi raised his eyebrow, "Little Star is still young, can’t blow up balloons yet. I’ll blow so for her when we get back so she can chase them around the house, but I should have bought colorful ones; these aren’t appealing."
Lin Wan almost burst into laughter at Han Yi’s words but restrained herself, fearing they might be overheard next door, and instead buried her laughter in Han Yi’s chest.
Causing Han Yi to frown in confusion.
"What’s so funny?"
"Fool, it’s for you..." Lin Wan whispered in his ear, explaining its use.
Causing Han Yi to blush, then look at the TT he had been handed, curling his lips into a mischievous smile, "Wifey’s more knowledgeable than , knowing about this."
"You jerk, I’m just doing it for our own good."
Lately, whenever they did it, Han Yi was particularly careful, frightened that she might get pregnant. Lin Wan understood Han Yi’s concern; he was attending school in Capital City, Mom and Dad were in Z City, and her brother was likely heading to Z City soon, leaving her alone in S City. Han Yi was worried about her having a hard ti taking care of two kids if she got pregnant again.
Actually, Lin Wan didn’t think being pregnant now was a bad thing. If she really beca pregnant, she could take care of two together; it would be just a few years of busy life.
While shopping today, she happened to spot this item, placed in a very secretive place without any na, but scattered packaging was placed beside it. Anyone with knowledge would know what it was selling.
Out of curiosity, she bought a box for Han Yi to use. Since he wasn’t willing now, they wouldn’t use it yet, maybe wait a couple more years.
Early the next day, Lin Wan was almost unable to get up after being tornted by Han Yi.
Fortunately, there were no embarrassing incidents. Lin Wan changed into the white long dress she bought yesterday and wore the high-heeled sandals she also bought yesterday.
They went to the machinery factory Jason ntioned, with Jason accompanying them. i was already waiting at the factory.
In a small room, several machines were on display: a cutter, sewing machine, overlock machine, buttonhole machine, and an electric iron.
This sewing machine wasn’t a household model; it could sew through ultra-thick fabrics without any problem.
"Jason, what’s the price of all these?"
"Wan, we’re offering you the cost price for these since we are friends, right? We’ll continue our friendship in the future," Jason roughly explained the prices to Lin Wan.
They indeed offered favorable prices; it would be foolish not to buy here. If it weren’t for Jason and i, they might have spent significantly more.
