Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Want to Discuss a Deal with Boss Lin

A few north winds blew recently, and the temperature has already dropped.

Before that happened, Lin Chuxia had Hou Xiaobao buy some honeycomb coal for heating for her master.

Currently, central heating isn’t widespread, so being able to heat with honeycomb coal is considered quite a good situation.

Worried about carbon monoxide poisoning from the coal, they even installed a flue. But even so, not having seen Lin Chuxia for several days, she was still a bit anxious.

Upon entering the yard and glimpsing the shadow of someone moving inside the house through the glass, she felt a bit relieved.

"Master, what are you up to again?" Lin Chuxia shouted as she breezily entered the house.

Old Sir He was on the kang bed fiddling with his plants; it’s no longer just a single pot, there are several pots, all of different shapes and sizes.

"What are you doing here again?" Old Sir He glanced up at her and seeing her complexion was fine, returned to what he was doing, "Did you finish taking the medicine?"

"I did, I did. Master, are you secretly hoping I get sick so you can get back at me? I feel like the medicine tastes horrifically bitter; I’ve never had anything so bitter."

"What revenge? Haven’t you heard that good medicine tastes bitter?" Old Sir He glared at her, "If you’re really afraid that I’m giving you bitter medicine as payback, there’s a solution. How much of the medical book I gave you have you read?"

Lin Chuxia immediately felt guilty and took an apple out of her bag to hand to him, "Master, try this apple, it’s very sweet."

Old Sir He snorted coldly but took a bite of the apple.

Lin Chuxia immediately began to playfully help him arrange the plants.

She asked Old Sir He why he hadn’t been to the bun shop in the last few days, to which he mercilessly replied that he feared Lin Chuxia would pass her sickness onto him and didn’t want to eat virus-infected buns.

Lin Chuxia felt that the only reason their master-disciple relationship could continue was truly because of her good looks and kind heart.

After leaving Old Sir He’s place, Lin Chuxia went to Qin’s Bun Shop in the city.

It was meal time, and the bun shop was quite busy. Qin Wu and Zhou Hongmei, as a couple, were still selling delivery food, and inside the shop, Qin Lihua and Chen Chunhua were busy working, while Zhang Guilan was at the front desk handling payments.

Even though they were busy with their tasks, their expressions seemed somewhat grave.

Seeing Lin Chuxia come over, Qin Lihua, who was closer to the door, quietly called out, "Auntie Four!"

"What’s the matter?" Lin Chuxia also noticed something amiss.

Qin Lihua glanced towards the office inside and shook her head, "I don’t know."

Zhang Guilan also saw Lin Chuxia and came over to her, "Little sister-in-law, how are you feeling, any better?"

"I’ve been fine for a while now," Lin Chuxia responded, "Where’s big brother?"

Zhang Guilan took Lin Chuxia to a private spot, "Your brother is in the office. Just a bit earlier, someone from the Food Store came looking for your brother. They already visited a few days ago, asking who was in charge of our shop, and your brother sent him away. Unexpectedly, they came back today; it’s probably regarding the cooked food business."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "I’ll go take a look."

She went straight to the office and upon entering, she saw a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a Zhongshan suit with a pen tucked in the pocket of his jacket.

The Food Store is affiliated with the food factory; unlike their private enterprise, they don’t have to deal with products hands-on. The man sat in an office and just made managerial decisions.

This person clearly recognized Lin Chuxia, and after seeing her enter, he didn’t rush to get up but smiled and said, "Meeting Boss Lin isn’t easy, huh."
