Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 175: Chapter 176 Huo Chen Appears

“That’s quite a coincidence, I didn’t expect to come across someone here who enjoys my cooking. I don’t have many hobbies, but I do love letting everyone taste the dishes I make.

Seeing people happy eating the food I’ve cooked always brings me extra joy.

Next time your wife wants to eat something, just have her come to me, and I’ll cook it for her.”

The police officer speaking was immediately all smiles, and he quickly nodded in agreement, then after a brief exchange, he left.

No sooner had the police officers left than Zhang Lancao got the news. Thinking about Wu Qingsong and Huo Chen being in business together, and now with Huo Chen being investigated by the police, wouldn’t that mean he would be investigated too?

The more Zhang Lancao thought about it, the more scared she became. What would she do if her two sons ended up getting involved?

Instantly, Zhang Lancao decided in her heart that no matter whether Wu Qingsong was in trouble or not, she couldn’t associate with him anymore.

Xu Ying thanked Lu Aimin with gratitude. Although curious as to why he was there too, she didn’t ask anymore and turned to ride her bike back.

At the moment, Third Uncle Xu was sitting in the restaurant, enjoying dishes and wine with Sun Erming, feeling extremely content.

Remembering the task his niece had entrusted to him, which he had already completed, he immediately called out, “Yingying, come here.”

Third Uncle Xu called for a long time, but his niece didn’t appear, which made him anxious. He started to walk toward the kitchen while calling out for Xu Ying.

“Yingying has gone out. She just asked for leave. Didn’t you know?” Sun Lifang looked at Third Uncle Xu, who reeked of alcohol and stumbled around drunkenly, and frowned.

Third Uncle Xu really didn’t know. When had his niece left? She couldn’t have gone to find Huo Chen, could she?

With that boy looking like a ghost at the moment, who knows if there was some trouble with the business? What if his niece got involved with the police because she went to find Huo Chen?

In an instant, Third Uncle Xu sobered up halfway and shook his head, preparing to look for his niece.

Sun Erming saw him about to leave and quickly called out to stop Third Uncle Xu.

Just then, Xu Ying returned.

Seeing his niece, Third Uncle Xu immediately burst out with anger: “Where have you run off to? Did you go find that boy Huo Chen?”

Xu Ying, seeing his sudden anger, felt it was rather inexplicable: “What’s wrong?”

“You’re not allowed to see him. The way Huo Chen was earlier, he might be in some kind of trouble. What if you get implicated by going to see him?”

Listening to his concerned words, Xu Ying felt warmed by his care and smiled, “I just had something to do outside. I didn’t go to see him. Besides, I don’t even know where he is!”

Relieved by her words, Third Uncle Xu said, “That’s good.” Then he pointed to Sun Erming and introduced him, “This is my friend, he’s a procurement officer at the Department Store.

The thing you asked about a few days ago, I’ve taken care of it for you. Tomorrow you can go talk to their manager about a partnership.”

Xu Ying smiled and greeted Sun Erming, “You must be Uncle Er Ming, right? I’m Xu Ying, thank you so much for this time.

Do you guys want anything else to eat? It’s on me.”

When Sun Erming heard this, he quickly shook his head. He couldn’t possibly let his niece pay for the meal, even though she was Brother Construction’s niece. But since she called him uncle, she was his niece too.

“No need, no need, I have money.”

Xu Ying didn’t give him a chance to refuse and directly ordered several more meat dishes for them and settled the bill.

After all, any leftovers could be packed up. In this day and age, who would complain about too much meat, right?

Sun Erming and Third Uncle Xu had had their fill of drinks and were just about to get up and leave, when they saw Gao Guihua bring up several more dishes. They immediately became agitated, “We are already full, why are more dishes coming? Moreover, we didn’t order these, could there be a mistake?”

“No mistake!” Gao Guihua, with a puzzled face, turned and called out to Sun Lifang.

Sun Lifang hurriedly said, “Those were ordered by Yingying, and she’s already paid for them.”

Sun Erming immediately became anxious and took out money to find Xu Ying.

“Why did you pay, Yingying? Uncle Ming has money, you keep this,” said Sun Erming, and fearing that what he had given was not enough, he took out several more yuan from his pocket.

Xu Ying refused to take the money he offered, and said with a smile, “Uncle Er Ming, this time you really did me a big favor, and helped my Third Uncle a lot too. It’s just a meal.

Quickly take the money back, otherwise, how could we have the face to ask for your help next time?”

At this moment, Third Uncle Xu also came walking over. Seeing the signal from his niece, he quickly said, “If my niece tells you to take the money, just take it!”

Seeing that he could not refuse, Sun Erming reluctantly put away the money, but he felt a bit heavy-hearted. How could he let someone, especially a young girl, spend so much money on him?

If this girl ever needed his help in the future, he would definitely be there without hesitation.

Third Uncle Xu did not stand on ceremony with Xu Ying, taking a portion of the meat dishes, he started to pack them to take home.

Tomorrow happened to be Xu Ying’s day off, and she could go to the Department Store. If she managed to secure this deal, it would be a great step forward in the path of earning foreign exchange.

Having received the news that Huo Chen was safe, Xu Ying finally felt completely relieved, and she fell asleep early that night.

Perhaps because she had gone to bed early the day before, she woke up very early the next day, getting up at six in the morning.

After breakfast, Xu Ying took out chicken and pork, as well as mushrooms and lotus root potatoes, frying a little of each to use as samples.

The marinades were all prepared in advance. Xu Ying chose chicken breast for the fried chicken tenders, pork to make crispy pork bites, fried mushrooms, fried meat-stuffed lotus root, and chips.

Xu Ying started working from early in the morning, just after six, until past eight o’clock.

She carried a big basket, but the fried goods had been placed in a container, to preserve the freshness of the food.

As she approached the Department Store, she found a corner and transferred the fried goods back into the basket.

Manager Zhang had been pacing at the entrance several times already, eagerly waiting for Xu Ying to arrive.

But each time he checked, there was no one; his heart chilled, “Xiao Sun, do you think Xu Ying is still coming? What time is it now? Does she really intend to cooperate?”

If this matter was not handled well, it could be the end for him. Manager Zhang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

“Manager, she’s here,” said Sun Erming as he turned around and saw Xu Ying. He hurried over and took the large basket from her hands.

As soon as he got hold of the basket, a waft of appetizing aroma instantly arose.

It made one swallow saliva uncontrollably.

Manager Zhang, seeing Xu Ying, suddenly felt as if he had seen hope itself, hurrying over with enthusiasm, “Master Xiao Xu, you’ve finally come. The director has been waiting for you for a long time.

You can’t say I knew you were from the food factory, otherwise, I’d be finished.”

Xu Ying nodded gratefully with a smile, “Manager Zhang, what are you talking about? You’ve been such a help to me; there’s no way I could betray you.

Just watch, I will definitely get this done right. Once it’s successfully concluded, I will definitely invite Manager Zhang for a meal.”

Manager Zhang nodded, slightly embarrassed. Eating or not eating was irrelevant to him, as long as he wasn’t fired, that was what mattered.
