Chapter 499: Everywhere She Goes, Warm Sunshine Follows

She didn’t establish Xiyang Food Company to target anyone; the market is open, and fair competition is welcome. If Liu Guoyi hadn’t tried to suppress them from the start, forcefully demanding their recipes, and later instigated Ancheng Food Factory’s employees to cause trouble at Xiyang, the relationship between Xiyang and Ancheng Food Factory would have been one of fair competition, without interferences.

But Liu Guoyi had narrowed his own path.

Even so, Lin Chuxia never planned to do anything specific against Ancheng Food Factory. She had the energy and ability to develop other industries, and the outcome of Ancheng Food Factory was within her expectations but not in her plans.

Just like the words she shared with Ji Xingwei at noon, she had the money to support the villagers of Qin Family Village, and even those from surrounding villages, to build markets, promote industries, and isn’t the number of people she’d be serving much more than the thousand-plus employees of Ancheng Food Factory?

In terms of making money, her Huamei Mall’s sales figures approach six figures each month; isn’t that faster than a soon-to-be-closed Ancheng Food Factory?

Ji Xingwei’s words were really pointless.

Today’s matter had come to a close; up next, Su Wensong would lead the team from Xiyang to formally take over Ancheng Food Factory. It’s a job that isn’t complicated but rather tedious.

Just as Lin Chuxia was preparing to step down from the stage, her eyes suddenly caught a figure at the entrance of the hall, and her gaze brightened instantly.

Su Wensong had been paying attention to her from the moment she stepped on stage. This girl, he watched her grow step by step.

And although he was clear about her capabilities, at moments like these, he couldn’t help but feel full of admiration for her.

Working for such a woman, he felt not only no shame but a great honor.

So when Lin Chuxia looked towards the entrance of the auditorium, he noticed the change in her eyes immediately.

Turning his head, he saw that man.

He knew that Lin Chuxia had been back in her hometown for a while because of the Ancheng Food Factory issue.

He was also aware of the relationship between the two.

Seeing that County Magistrate Bai and Factory Director Ji were getting up, he stepped forward to greet them first.

"County Magistrate Bai, Factory Director Ji, as for the next steps..." At the same time, he signaled Lin Chuxia with his eyes.

Lin Chuxia knew Su Wensong would handle the rest and confidently walked toward the figure at the entrance.

"Why did you come today? When did you arrive?"

From his earlier stance, it looked like he had been standing at the entrance for quite some time.

Qin Yang raised a hand to tidy her hair, his eyes filled with a tenderness he wasn’t even aware of, "During the time when those workers wouldn’t stop raising questions."

When he arrived, the atmosphere in the auditorium was tense; he saw the chaotic scene, the workers’ relentless queries, and people constantly pressing forward—his heart nearly leaped to his throat.

He knew what the state-owned enterprise workers were like, especially when it concerned their livelihood.

Harming someone’s wealth is like killing their parents.

Even though none of this was Lin Chuxia’s intention, in the workers’ eyes, it was her Xiyang Food Factory that had cut off their means of living.

And now to be taken over by Xiyang Food Factory, how could they possibly accept it willingly?

With so many people, trying to get closer wasn’t easy.

Before he could take any further action, he heard the calm and steady voice of his young wife.

He watched with his own eyes as those people were gradually pacified, as they changed from anger to negotiating calmly.

From faces filled with despair to ones brimming with hope.

He knew his wife was capable, but he had never witnessed such magical power from her.

She was like a sun; wherever she went, warmth followed.

"You must have been very busy these past few days, right? What else is there to do next? Do you want me to wait for you outside first?"

Qin Yang only came back to find that she wasn’t there, which made him a bit uneasy, so he came over to check on her.

Lin Chuxia said, "It’s okay now, I’m going to say hello to County Magistrate Bai and the others, wait for me, and then we’ll leave together."

The matters of today had been almost settled, now it was fine to leave it to Su Wensong, the factory director of Xiyang Food Factory.

County Magistrate Bai had noticed the man beside Lin Chuxia early on. Seeing their close intimacy, he guessed the man’s identity.

Ji Xingwei was curious and took a few more glances.

He had not expected that Mr. Lin, known for his decisive actions, would also have such a tender and gentle side.

Indeed, it was quite rare.

Lin Chuxia greeted them, asking Su Wensong to accompany the several leaders, and then she excused herself to leave.

Once outside, Qin Yang felt a bit embarrassed, "To just leave them behind and come out with me, is that really okay?"

He just missed his wife so much that when he arrived home and found that his wife wasn’t there, and heard that she had come to Ancheng Food Factory today, he was even more worried and came looking for her.

Lin Chuxia waved her hand indifferently, "My husband has come all the way here. It would really be inappropriate to leave my husband aside. Don’t worry, I’ve already paved the way for them. If I still need to micromanage everything, then it’s time for Xiyang Group to change its staff."

"Xiyang Group?"

It was the first time Qin Yang heard this term.

Mulling over these few words, he could deeply understand the meaning behind them.

Lin Chuxia revealed a bright and radiant smile, "How about that? Although the official procedures aren’t in place yet, Xiyang Group has already been established in my heart."

Currently under their management, they have not only Xiyang Food Factory, Qin’s Buns Shop, Qin’s Restaurant, but also Huamei Mall.

Additionally, the chicken farm and yellow peach orchard in Daqing Mountain Village are also part of the group.

This is the embryonic form of their group company. She believes that in the near future, its industries will only get better and better, and her Xiyang Group will continue to grow.

Qin Yang nodded seriously, "Then, to celebrate Mr. Lin’s Xiyang Group, shall we go out to eat tonight?"

Lin Chuxia’s eyes sparkled. Although the meals meticulously prepared by Mrs. Qin at home were very good, she hadn’t spent time alone with Qin Yang for a long time.

"Then let’s go have hot pot? I really want to have a taste of it."

"Alright, let’s go eat hot pot."

Qin Yang was always willing to fulfill any of Lin Chuxia’s suggestions.

In the past two years, Ancheng County has developed quite well, especially the private businesses keeping pace with the times, with many merchants doing quite well.

Lin Chuxia had noticed that restaurant a long time ago.

The front of the restaurant had four rooms, dark green windows, not a large facade, but the business was very good every day.

The words on the glass front door were painted in big red oil paint.

Every evening when passing by, one could see the bustling warmth inside.

Now it’s still the tail end of summer; to be willing to eat hot pot while fanning oneself in this weather shows it must really be delicious.

Today the weather was a bit stuffy, the temperature inside the room didn’t drop even though the fan was on.

Knowing that Qin Yang was afraid of the heat, Lin Chuxia decided they would sit at a table outside.

In An City, after the start of autumn in August, the temperature in the mornings and evenings will drop a bit, and occasionally there will be a light breeze.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the enthusiastic owner came up with the menu.
