Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 912: Chapter 912: We Have Plenty of Time Ahead

Director Tan quickly spoke: "Jingmei, don’t worry, listen to what I have to say."

Director Tan briefly explained what Xinyan came to do: "I’ve asked Secretary Xiao to take her to the Sales Department to look at sample garments and place orders. I’m calling you to discuss whether we should have lunch together or dinner."

Shu Jingmei didn’t want to wait: "Why wait? Let’s have lunch first. When she’s done, she can come to our house in the evening to get acquainted."

Director Tan understood his wife’s intention: "Then you start preparing, I’ll have Wang come and pick you up later."

Shu Jingmei quickly refused: "Please don’t. I’ll just take the car over. I don’t want this small matter to cause trouble for you."

Previously, the spouse of a deputy director at the factory used a factory car for personal errands, which ended up being an issue. If not for her husband’s mediation, the deputy director nearly lost his position.

Thinking about it now, it’s a bit scary. She definitely doesn’t want to create trouble for her husband.

The matters were handled smoothly. Xinyan placed an order for a batch of the latest fashion at the clothing factory. When she came out from the Finance Department, she saw Shu Jingmei standing outside: "Ms. Shu, are you waiting for me here?"

Shu Jingmei liked Xinyan’s nature: "Of course I’m waiting for you. Last time, we came over only to find out you had checked out and left, I was so anxious."

Xinyan laughed: "So then, you took it out on Director Tan."

Shu Jingmei felt a bit embarrassed: "He told you everything?"

Xinyan smiled as she approached: "It’s really just a small matter, you’re all too polite."

Before Shu Jingmei could respond, Xinyan leaned in and whispered: "This time, I have a lot of things to trouble Director Tan with. Since you’re being so polite, we can call it even now."

Shu Jingmei laughed and held Xinyan’s hand: "No need to talk about trouble or inconvenience, just come to him if you have any matters next time."

Shu Jingmei greeted Secretary Xiao before taking Xinyan away.

As they came down from upstairs, they saw Director Tan waiting there, and the three of them left the factory together, heading to a state-owned restaurant not far from the factory.

During the meal, Xinyan and Mrs. Tan Shu Jingmei had a pleasant chat. If not for Director Tan’s intervention, Shu Jingmei might have declared sisterhood with Xinyan.

After the meal, the couple took Xinyan to first a textile factory, then a button factory, followed by a zipper factory, and finally a factory producing interlining and pads.

It was truly a comprehensive service. After this trip, Xinyan got acquainted with the leaders of these factories, thanks to Director Tan’s connections.

Xinyan, being adept, used this opportunity to treat several directors to dinner, strengthening their relationships. They all promised to handle orders over the phone in the future if the purchasing person couldn’t be present.

In the evening, Director Tan and his wife escorted Xinyan back to the guesthouse. Regrettably, Shu Jingmei said: "If not for your tight schedule this time, you would have visited our home. We can only arrange it for next time."

Xinyan nodded with a smile: "We have a long future ahead; I’ll definitely visit next time."

Shu Jingmei, being straightforward, offered a hearty laugh: "Alright, it’s settled then. Next time, give me some notice, and I’ll warmly welcome you at home, making my best dish for you."

Xinyan smiled knowingly: "Great, it’s a deal. Next time I come, I’ll bring you some Beijing specialties. Of course, you’re also welcome to visit Beijing anytime; I’ll be your guide."

Otherwise, if not for Director Tan pulling them away, who knows how long the two would have kept chatting.

After leaving, Xinyan closed the doors and windows securely before entering the space.

When looking for Director Tan, Xinyan had already rented a warehouse.

Early the next morning, the goods were delivered one after another. To avoid drawing attention, Xinyan rented an inconspicuous warehouse, making it convenient to stash things in the space.

This time, the time was too tight. She thought about buying a property here next time to serve as a base and storage, primarily for future appreciation, considering it as an investment.
