"Xia Xia?" Xu Guoping shook her.
"Ah?" Wu Xia looked at him blankly.
"Liu Neng was asking you just now when you can deliver the next shipment." Xu Guoping said.
"Oh oh oh." Wu Xia quickly came to her senses and said, "There are almost three thousand in a month."
Wu Xia calculated the scrap rate and the supply cycle of raw materials and told Liu Neng.
Liu Neng looked at Wu Xia in surprise, this is really a big deal.
However, with so many lipsticks entering the market, he had to pay a lot of cash in advance, and such a large shipment would be targeted by interested parties.
He said to Wu Xia: "Let's do this. How about we deliver the goods once a week and settle the accounts on Monday?"
Wu Xia frowned. In this case, she would have to spend five days a week on the train, and then she would have to go to the daily chemical factory to buy raw materials for the rest of the time. There was not enough time at all.
Moreover, this trip also made her know that it is very inconvenient for a lesbian to be outside. Now she needs a helper, but there is no suitable person around her.
But even if it was difficult, Wu Xia agreed without hesitation. She couldn't miss the deal that came to her door.
Seeing that Wu Xia agreed, Liu Neng enthusiastically wanted to take Wu Xia and Xu Guoping to the dining car for dinner.
Now that Wu Xia has money in his pocket, his actions are not in vain. When she arrived at the dining car, she declined Liu Neng's treat and ordered some delicious dishes to eat with Xu Guoping.
While eating, the train arrived at the country gate.
For the first time, they met people on the other side of the river. The foreigners shouted the names of Chinese products in broken Chinese, and many of the gangsters on the bus also started trading with each other with calculators.
Wu Xia listened around and found that many people were collecting lipsticks. She asked about the price and found that the price Liu Neng gave her was fifty cents more than the price quoted here. It seemed that Liu Neng did not lie to them. After knowing this situation, Wu Xia ate even more happily.
After eating, they boarded the return train. In the evening, the two of them returned to the military hostel again.
As soon as she entered the door, the waiter said to her: "Comrade Wu Xia, everyone invited everyone here just now and said they were here to see you."
Wu Xia said in surprise: "Great, I'll go there now."
She guessed that Ding Wenmin had finished his work and came to see her.
Ding Wenmin had just arrived at the guest house at this time. He had cut off all unnecessary links on this business trip, just to get to Fenhe to find Wu Xia as soon as possible.
After he checked in at Renren Guest House, he heard that someone had left him a note. He opened it and saw that it was Wu Xiajuanxiu's handwriting, telling him that he had checked into the military guest house and asked him to come find her when he came.
Ding Wenmin frowned. He didn't know why Wu Xia didn't choose to live here, so he rushed towards the army guest house as soon as he put his things away, but he missed the opportunity.
Just as he was packing his things and preparing to go out for dinner, there was a knock on the door of Ding Wenmin's room.
"Editor Ding, are you in there?"
It was Wu Xia's voice.
"come on in--"
Ding Wenmin ran to the door and opened it. His heart beat a few times when he thought of seeing Wu Xia again.
He even brought a gift to Wu Xia during his business trip. He didn't know if she would like it.
As a result, Ding Wenmin was stunned when the door opened. Unexpectedly, there was another person standing behind Wu Xia. Isn't this her husband Xu Guoping?
Seeing Ding Wenmin staring at Xu Guoping without saying a word, Wu Xia smiled at him and introduced him: "You have met this man before. He is...my ex-husband."
Wu Xia was struggling with how to introduce Xu Guoping's identity, and after much deliberation, she decided to use the most appropriate title of ex-husband.
When Xu Guoping heard Wu Xia calling her ex-husband, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and then he stretched out his hand to hold Wu Xia's slender waist.
"Colleague Xu, with the current relationship between you and Comrade Wu Xia, is it inappropriate to make such a move?"
Ding Wenmin looked at Xu Guoping's hand around Wu Xia's waist. His usually gentle eyes now looked a little sharper.
Xu Guoping smiled penetratingly, with provocation hidden in his eyes, and drew his arms closer to bring Wu Xia closer to him.
"Is there anything inappropriate? Our army has agreed to withdraw the divorce notice, so Comrade Wu Xia and I are still husband and wife. Does Editor Ding have any objections?"
Wu Xia looked at Ding Wenmin and then at Xu Guoping, feeling that there were crackling sparks in the air.
What happened to these two people?
Ding Wenmin felt a little sour when he saw Xu Guoping hugging Wu Xia to his chest as if he was swearing sovereignty. Wu Xia seemed to be used to his behavior, and there was no hint of displeasure on his face. .
Xu Guoping noticed the disappointment in Ding Wenmin's eyes, and he was even more sure of this man's thoughts towards his wife.
He showed his white teeth and stretched out his hand towards Ding Wenmin dignifiedly: "Editor Ding, thank you for taking care of Xia Xia before. Now that I am with her, you can go about your business without worries."
Are you trying to drive people away?
Wu Xia glanced at him dissatisfied, pushed away his hand holding her waist, and said to Ding Wenmin: "Editor Ding, don't listen to his nonsense. I sold all the goods today, and I'm just waiting to buy them back." If you have a ticket, let’s go home together.”
Xu Guoping felt a little unhappy when he heard Wu Xia talking about going home to others.
He said to Wu Xia with a smile on his face, "Xia Xia, Editor Ding, a grown man, still wants you to accompany him back?"
Ding Wenmin ignored him, picked up his glasses from the table and put them on his eyes. The glasses blocked his emotions, leaving only warmth. He looked at Wu Xia and asked, "Wu Xia, do you want to go back with me?"
He wanted to confirm Wu Xia's intentions. If Wu Xia chose to go to Pingcheng with him, then don't blame him for taking action.
Such a narrow-minded man is not suitable for Wu Xia at all. He can tell from Wu Xia's works that Wu Xia is a woman who longs to have her own career. How can she be imprisoned in the compound by such a man and spend her whole life spinning around the pot? Depressed and frustrated?
Xu Guoping heard the flavor in Wenmin's words. He tensed up and looked at Wu Xia: "Xia Xia, who are you going to go with?"
Who to follow?
Wu Xia looked at the two of them. One was as gentle as a gentleman, and the other... why was his gaze so naked, as if he was his prey?
She glanced at Xu Guoping and planned to tell him her plan.
This time she planned to go back to the compound with him first and divide the money with the military wives. Then the lipstick workshop would officially start working. She would find a helper and then go to Pingcheng.
Editor Ding could help her contact the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and she didn’t want to miss such a good opportunity.
In her previous life, her family wanted her to live a stable life, and going there by herself was another way to fulfill her parents' dream.
"Guoping, I want to go to Pingcheng."
After hearing her words, Xu Guoping's jawline tightened suddenly, and his face became cold.
