Chapter 593: Chapter 593: A Windfall from the Sky

Lin Chuxia’s eyes lit up slightly.

Becoming a business partner? This was practically a money tree coming her way.

However, she didn’t show any eagerness on her face, simply saying, “So, Ms. Zhuang already has a direction?”

Zhuang Jingshu shook her head, “Not at the moment. I just think highly of Miss Lin. My investment direction can be set according to Miss Lin’s intentions. But regarding our previous topic, I do have some equipment in this area, and if Miss Lin is interested, Zhuang Yang can introduce it to you.”

Of course, Lin Chuxia was interested.

At present, the large-scale production equipment in the country is relatively outdated, and imported equipment is expensive and mostly inaccessible to ordinary people.

Since she took over the Old Food Factory, it has been slowly getting back on track, but the outdated equipment there makes it difficult to make further progress.

It was only through their management that they achieved a balance between income and expenses, allowing employees to receive their salaries every month.

No matter what kind of equipment Ms. Zhuang had, it presented itself as a channel for her.

“Then I look forward to cooperating with Ms. Zhuang in the future,” Lin Chuxia extended her right hand.

Ms. Zhuang gently shook the delicate hand in front of her, “I am also looking forward to working with Miss Lin.”

The medicine took quite some time to brew, so Lin Chuxia asked them to return in the afternoon to pick it up.

After Zhuang Jingshu and Zhuang Yang left, Old Master He also drove Lin Chuxia out.

Lin Chuxia knew the old man was worried she would tire herself out brewing such a large quantity, and understanding his temper, she didn’t argue. She tidied up a bit and returned to the residential compound.

As the weather warmed, more people began coming and going in the residential compound.

It was also close to lunchtime, so she occasionally exchanged greetings with familiar faces.

As she neared home, she saw Sister-in-law Feng and a few other women talking at the foot of the residential building.

As she approached, their expressions turned a bit peculiar.

But before she reached them, they all dispersed.

It wasn’t just Lin Chuxia’s imagination; she felt their conversation likely involved her.

However, Lin Chuxia didn’t take it to heart.

Who would bother with a sick person?

Lin Chuxia parked her car at the front door, and as she got out, Sister-in-law Fu came out from next door.

“Lin, just got back?”

“Yes, sister-in-law, haven’t made lunch yet?”

“Not yet, I’m planning to make noodles for lunch today, will start when Old Hu comes back from work.”

As Sister-in-law Fu spoke, she had already walked to Lin Chuxia’s car.

Lin Chuxia knew she had something to say, so she took out her key and opened the courtyard door, inviting Sister-in-law Fu inside.

Once inside, Sister-in-law Fu didn’t proceed further but instead pulled Lin Chuxia aside and lowered her voice, “If you’ve heard any rumors in the compound these past couple of days, don’t take it to heart. If others ask you anything, just ignore them. As family members, our men are out in the world making a career, and they won’t inform us about any matters. Let them talk, we should focus on ourselves.”

These words left Lin Chuxia feeling puzzled, “Thanks for the reminder, sister-in-law. But honestly, I’ve been with my master these days and truly don’t know what major things have happened in the residential compound.”

Sister-in-law Fu pursed her lips, closed the courtyard door tightly, and led Lin Chuxia a couple more steps inside.

“What could there be? It’s still about the Vice Minister Liu’s transfer from their department. Everyone knew about it last year. Recently, some wind blew in, claiming that after Vice Minister Liu leaves, Feng Dajun will be promoted to deputy minister. They talk about it as if they have all the details. Even I’m curious, our Old Hu is still working at the unit and hasn’t heard a thing, yet these family members seem to know everything. And look at Feng Dajun’s wife, her eyes are practically on top of her head. Feng Dajun hasn’t even become a deputy minister yet, if he does, she might start strutting like a crab.”

Lin Chuxia was amused by her description and burst into laughter.

No wonder Sister-in-law Feng gave her such a look earlier.

“I understand, sister-in-law. Thank you for the heads-up.”

“Ah, no need to thank me. I just saw you and thought I’d mention it. It’s getting late, I should get back home to cook. We can hang out when there’s time.”

“Alright,” Lin Chuxia escorted Sister-in-law Fu to the door.

In the following days, not just at Sister-in-law Fu’s place, Lin Chuxia also heard similar things from other people.

Although no one said it outright, everyone seemed quite concerned about the personnel arrangements after Vice Minister Liu’s transfer.

But as the rumors spread, someone brought up the incident where Feng Jingjing almost ran into Lin Chuxia.

There were all kinds of things being said, the most outrageous being that Lin Chuxia was jealous of Feng Dajun’s successful career, so she deliberately fell to frame them.

Lin Chuxia, hearing such gossip, began to understand why Sister-in-law Fu specifically came to warn her about it.

Perhaps these rumors had been circulating early on, but Sister-in-law Fu didn’t feel comfortable telling her directly, and others certainly wouldn’t confront her, the person involved.

However, Lin Chuxia didn’t let such matters weigh on her mind.

Since Zhuang Jingshu wasn’t in Yan City these days, there was no need to brew Chinese medicine, so Lin Chuxia hadn’t visited her master.

These days she had been pondering over what Zhuang Jingshu mentioned the other day.

That afternoon, when Zhuang Yang came to pick up the Chinese medicine, he also brought an introduction to their company for Lin Chuxia.

What she didn’t expect was that she had heard about this company in her past life.

This also confirmed her previous suspicions.

In her past life, there wasn’t any joint-venture company in Yan City, nor were there rumors about Zhuang Jingshu.

It seemed that after falling ill, Zhuang Jingshu either returned to her country for treatment or…

In short, the investment did not proceed.

Now, this kind of opportunity had fallen right into her lap, and Lin Chuxia felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

A few days ago, Sun Bingnan called her, mentioning that the yellow peach trees were blossoming across the hills; come autumn, they should bear plenty of fruit.

And over at the Rong City Office, after the New Year, Qin Wu again showcased his skills, opening up markets in several cities surrounding Rong City.

The production at Xiyang Food Factory was said to be unable to meet the demand.

Lin Chuxia jot down a few notes in her notebook, circling a couple of key terms.

There was a peculiar sensation in her belly, and even through her clothing, she could see her abdomen protruding and moving.

The little one was kicking inside her belly.

Lin Chuxia gently placed her hand over the area that had just moved, her gaze soft.

Footsteps could be heard from outside; Lin Chuxia knew it was Qin Yang returning home.

During this period, Qin Yang had been very busy with work, sometimes even having to resolve lunch at the office.

Lin Chuxia rarely asked about his work, also knowing his personality of not liking to pry into matters, so she didn’t mention the gossip to Qin Yang either.

The first thing Qin Yang did after entering the house was to look for Lin Chuxia. Seeing her at the desk writing something, he moved closer to discover that it was some work plan.
