Lin Jiayi finally felt relieved, though there was still a glimmer of coldness in her eyes.
"Mom, Iâll listen to you. Buy out the Bun Shop for me and help me keep an eye on it with Dad," Lin Chuxia absolutely cannot appear in An City anymore.
Once her Bun Shop is bought, she wonât have any attachment to An City.
Even though her mom claimed it absolutely, she must eliminate all future troubles.
However, knowing that Lin Chuxia wouldnât hastily sell the shop to her, Lin Jiayi didnât want to seek her out again.
By then, she could have Zhuang Yang help her figure out a way; she didnât believe that money couldnât solve any issues.
Even Sun Lanlan and Zhang Guilan, itâs best to buy them off.
Sun Lanlan is beyond words, having always been closely bonded with that little cheapster as if they wore the same pants together since childhood.
Zhang Guilan didnât spare her any trouble in her past life, acting cocky like a proud rooster in front of her, not even casting a proper glance.
This life, she was surprisingly on such good terms with Lin Chuxia.
Once the shop is bought, having Zhang Guilan report work to her daily, seeing her respectfully pleasing her boss would certainly be amusing.
To return to Daqing Mountain Village, one must go to the bus station to take a bus.
Just as they entered the city, a car stopped beside the two.
Zhuang Yang looked over from inside the car, "Miss Lin, itâs really you. What are you doing here? Need a ride back?"
Seeing the car and the driver, Zhuang Yang, Lin Jiayi subconsciously glanced behind.
Seeing only Zhuang Yang, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke arrogantly, "Mom and I came out for some errands, you might as well give us a ride back."
Though Zhuang Yang wasnât fond of Lin Jiayiâs attitude, he politely agreed since she was the chairmanâs daughter and got out to open the car door for them.
Lin Jiayi wasnât sitting in this car for the first time, yet still didnât know where was appropriate to touch.
She even recalled the first time she sat in this car was when her rich mom took her to the city to buy new clothes and to have a health check-up.
Clearly watching her affluent mom get in effortlessly, yet when she tried to get on, she bumped her head with a thud.
Even attempting to get in feet first wouldnât work, neither would head first.
It was that woman who couldnât stand it and let Zhuang Yang teach her how to get in.
She felt the woman did it on purpose; had she been taught initially, she wouldnât have made such a spectacle.
If she were treated as a biological daughter, what harm would there be in letting her drive this car?
Didnât Lin Chuxia drive herself?
Instead, sheâs treated as though sheâs an ignorant country bumpkin, allowing people to look down on her for no reason.
Donât think she canât tell Zhuang Yangâs attitude; itâs one of condescension.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiayi raised her voice two tones and asked, "Howâs the vegetable station coming along? Just a petty vegetable station, mom already said sheâs allocated money for it, how come it hasnât been sorted out yet?"
Zhuang Yang drove while saying, "The process is already underway, since the vegetable station is state-owned by your side... it requires governmental approval, processing is indeed a bit troublesome."
He didnât expect the domestic situation to be like this; itâs his first time handling such affairs, indeed a bit unfamiliar.
"By the way, Miss Lin, what plans do you have regarding the vegetable station after acquiring it? The procedures are just a matter of time, if Miss Lin has further plans, you can start preparing."
The chairman entrusted him to fully cooperate with the young lady, regardless of her attitude, he would dedicate himself to his job.
This question indeed stumped Lin Jiayi, making her momentarily lapse.
What to do next? She hadnât really thought about it.
She merely heard Lin Chuxia wanted to buy the station and mentioned it to her wealthy mom.
No one knows why Lin Chuxia wants to buy the station, and she merely doesnât want Lin Chuxia to be too smug.
Seeing Zhuang Yang glancing through the rearview mirror occasionally, Lin Jiayi straightened her posture, "You donât need to worry about the next steps, I have my own plans."
"Hereâs the thing, Miss Lin, the chairman asked me to fully cooperate with your work, in the coming days the chairman will also be staying in the country for a while, and I have other jobs..."
"What does it matter if you have other jobs? My mom already told you to fully cooperate with me," Lin Jiayi unconsciously retorted, then realized she was too quick, falling into Zhuang Yangâs trap, she altered her tone, "Of course, you can also attend to your other duties first. Iâll tell you when I need you."
Zhuang Yang pleasantly smiled, "I mean, if Miss Lin has any plans, you might as well divulge them to me, so I can arrange forthcoming businesses accordingly."
Pressed hard, Lin Jiayi was impatient, "I have my own estimation for my own matters, just wait."
As the conversation reached this juncture, Zhuang Yang ceased speaking further.
Mother Lin gently nudged Lin Jiayiâs arm, prompting Lin Jiayi to suddenly remember something.
She coughed lightly, "Oh yes, thereâs indeed something Iâd like you to handle, Iâm interested in two Bun Shops in An City, could you help me purchase them when you have time, perfect for me to idle away with managing a couple of shops."
Zhuang Yang readily nodded, "Okay, Miss Lin, which two shops have you set your sights on?"
"Theyâre the Qinâs Bun Shops near the night market and the train station..."
Upon hearing about Qinâs Bun Shops, Zhuang Yang paused slightly.
Lin Jiayi was still speaking, "I think the buns from those two shops taste quite good, buying them would make it convenient to have them myself, hasnât mom always said that whatever I fancy, sheâd strive to fulfill, such trivial matters, just sort it out, no need to bother mom."
"Miss Lin, from what I know, those two shops are operating pretty well, are you sure the owners would sell them?"
"Now thatâs your concern, even such a major factory like the vegetable station can be bought, canât manage two shops?"
"Alright, Iâll find time to get in touch with the people in charge there."
Knowing what kind of lengthy spiel the opposing party would pursue afterward, Zhuang Yang had no choice but to agree.
Lin Jiayi and Mother Lin exchanged a tacit glance, a satisfied smile gleamed in their eyes.
On the other side, Mrs. Qin felt a pang seeing Lin Familyâs mother and daughter leave with unsightly expressions without even a greeting.
She knew her younger daughter-in-law wasnât favored at her natal family.
Letâs not mention the swap marriage matter; back when the younger daughter-in-law got married, not a single person from her family attended, indicating her standing in her natal family.
Initially encountering both parties, they spoke politely hence she thought nothing of it.
Even thought her natal mom and sister came, the mother and daughter must have a lot to talk about; she as an outsider shouldnât interfere.
Presently, though, she regretted greatly, snatching up her granddaughter and heading for the backyard.
If anything happens to her younger daughter-in-law, how would she answer to her younger son?
She called Lin Chuxiaâs name while making her way and found Lin Chuxia coming out as she reached the backyard.
