Elena said, "You can handle this. I'll leave the wholesale business to you."
"Is this the only thing to do today?" Chen Xueru asked.
"Yes, it's still autumn now. We'll go sell canned goods in winter."
He Yuzhu doesn't have much stored in his space right now, and he'll have to wait until the peak production season is over before he can go to Moscow again.
“Okay, let’s raise a glass to international cooperation,” Chen Xueru said happily, raising her glass of red wine.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
The three of them drank their red wine together. Chen Xueru picked up a bottle of baijiu and said, "Red wine isn't satisfying enough. Let's drink this erguotou instead!"
"Okay, red wine just isn't as good as white wine."
Elena also agreed to replace the soft red wine with white wine.
He Yuzhu didn't care. Soon, he poured 10-year-old Erguotou into the wine glass.
The three of them drank enthusiastically, and the amount of liquor in their glasses gradually decreased. In the blink of an eye, all three of them were drunk and tipsy.
When He Yuzhu opened his eyes again, he found himself sleeping on Chen Xueru's big bed, but it was a little different from usual.
He had Chen Xueru wrapped around his left arm, while Elena was nestled in his arms on his right.
Not only that, she was also tightly gripping her own hand.
He Yuzhu was startled; drinking really does lead to trouble.
Just as he was about to pull his arm out of Chen Xueru's arms, he woke her up.
Chen Xueru opened her eyes and saw Elena, who was completely naked, next to He Yuzhu.
Thinking back, I can still recall the crazy things the three of us did yesterday. I remember asking He Yuzhu if he was having an affair with Li Liana.
At that time, He Yuzhu almost swore to the heavens that Chen Xueru had wronged him, and now it was confirmed.
She rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and scolded, "You stinky Zhu, when did you get together with Elena?"
"This..." He Yuzhu really didn't know how to explain. He had been caught red-handed and had no way to explain himself.
Just as Chen Xueru was about to say something more, she saw Elena stir and look like she was about to wake up.
Instead, Chen Xueru was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Elena yawned and got up, completely unaware that she had just exposed herself. She rubbed her eyes and realized that this was not her bedroom. Although it was not surprising that there was He Yuzhu on the bed, it was unexpected that Chen Xueru was also there.
He quickly shook He Yuzhu's arm, and He Yuzhu had no choice but to open his eyes, no longer able to pretend to be asleep.
Elena rubbed her forehead with her hand: "My God, what did we do yesterday?"
"What do you think? It's because you were drunk and kept snuggling into my arms."
He Yuzhu vaguely remembered that last night he first put Chen Xueru to bed, and then helped Elena to bed.
But at that moment, Elena suddenly became drunk and started acting crazy, hugging He Yuzhu and insisting on kissing him.
Then things spiraled out of control, and the two of them ended up rolling around together, which then turned into a scene from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the end, He Yuzhu fought against two opponents and achieved final victory.
However, he was exhausted and had no strength left, so he collapsed on the battlefield.
Elena's fair face flushed crimson as she asked, "What should we do? Will Chen Xueru be angry?"
"Don't think about it anymore. Before she gets up, hurry up and get dressed and run."
"Yes, yes, I'll run first."
Elena was also confused; she didn't even ask He Yuzhu when he and Chen Xueru started having an affair.
She frantically searched the room for her clothes, put them on, and then leaned down to kiss He Yuzhu on the corner of his mouth.
"Honey, come see me whenever you have time."
"Hurry up and leave, I'll look for you." He Yuzhu hurriedly urged them to leave.
Elena blew her a kiss and then ran away.
Chen Xueru held it in for a long time, and only opened her eyes after hearing the footsteps fade away.
He laughed for a while, then angrily reached out and twisted He Yuzhu's waist.
She scolded, "You bad boy, now that you have me and Qingmo, you've gotten together with Elena again."
He Yuzhu screamed as he was being twisted: "This was an accident last time."
I briefly recounted the story from the last Moscow trip, exaggerating many things and making it seem like it was full of ups and downs.
“You didn’t mention this before.”
As expected, Chen Xueru's focus shifted, and she asked about the accident last time.
After He Yuzhu explained, Chen Xueru stopped being angry.
She was very angry, not because He Yuzhu and Elena had gotten together, but because He Yuzhu hadn't told her the truth before.
After calming Chen Xueru down, He Yuzhu wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Drinking really does lead to trouble.
Before long, autumn passed, and He Yuzhu learned from the methods used in the north of the city to store fruit. He got some cotton quilts to cover the fruit, maintain the temperature, and delay the spoilage of the fruit.
This way, they can harvest more fruit, increase inventory, and allow the canneries to produce more canned goods.
Until one day, Factory Director Shen approached He Yuzhu and said, "Manager He, this inventory is only enough for one week of production. Shouldn't our factory also stock up on some to sell during the Spring Festival?"
He Yuzhu asked, "Is it almost finished producing?"
"Yes, the inventory is running low. We can only produce 15,000 bottles of canned food at most."
He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's keep 15,000 bottles in stock and sell them before the Spring Festival."
Factory Director Shen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that He Yuzhu would take everything away, since it had been said before that He Yuzhu was in charge of all sales matters.
He Yuzhu loaded all the remaining canned goods onto a truck and transported them to the warehouse on Qianmen Street, then told Chen Xueru and Elena.
"Gentlemen, we need to head north; the canned goods business is about to turn a profit."
"We've finally waited for this day. If we don't sell now, we won't have any cash flow," Chen Xueru sighed.
Elena was overjoyed and threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms, ignoring Chen Xueru's cold face, and gave her a kiss, saying:
"Honey, I can finally go home with you!"
Chen Xueru's face grew increasingly grim.
It's like a man has been abducted by Elena.
Chapter 201 An Unexpected Robbery
Next up is Elena's matter; he'll be in charge of coordinating the railcar arrangements.
He Yuzhu hasn't been idle these days either. He stays at home with Xu Huizhen and takes time to visit Xu Huizhi in the countryside. However, he also has to appease Chen Xueru and mediate the frequent arguments between He Yongqiang and Xu Zhaodi.
Fortunately, the train cars arrived quickly, and 120 million canned goods were delivered to the train station's warehouse.
The total value of these canned goods has reached 24 yuan. Each person contributed 6 yuan, which has drained the working capital of Chen Xueru, Elena, and Ye Qingmo.
He Yuzhu not only contributed the 6 yuan, but also used his work connections to store most of the canned goods that were nominally wholesaled into his space, along with 9 yuan worth of goods, thus emptying all his working capital.
Watching the canned goods being loaded onto the truck, He Yuzhu was overjoyed. His hard work over the past six months in planning and setting up the cannery had finally paid off, and now it was time to reap the rewards.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and get on the train," Elena reminded her.
"Okay, I'm coming." He Yuzhu picked up his suitcase and boarded the train.
Just like last year, only this section of the train is for passenger use; the rest of the carriages are used for cargo.
Clang, clang, clang, the train slowly started moving.
Life on the train was monotonous. After a short three-day rest at the border, I switched to a train bound for Moscow.
The two were relieved, but by the time they arrived in Moscow, they both smelled terrible.
After leaving the train station, the two took a taxi straight to the hotel.
I took a simple bath and went straight to bed to rest.
He Yuzhu suddenly felt suffocated. In his drowsy state, he reached out and touched the figure beside him, only to find that his beloved was no longer there.
"You stay here and rest. I'll go find Chairman Qi to discuss the wholesale business."
"Yeah, I'm exhausted, I need to rest for a while."
Elena wasn't usually this tired. The main problem was that she hadn't rested well on the train. She had just gotten off the train and hadn't even recovered when He Yuzhu exhausted her.
"Then you should rest well and stay here until I come back."
He Yuzhu walked out of the hotel and turned into a department store. Moscow also sells canned fruit, but they are all high-end products.
He Yuzhu asked about the price of the canned goods. The cheapest can of fruit cost 0.9 rubles, so he bought a can of oranges.
I asked the shop assistant to open it for me, and after tasting it, I found that it wasn't very sweet. The recipe used less sugar than I would have used myself.
He Yuzhu was relieved. The average worker's monthly salary was around 60 rubles, and one ruble could only buy a can of food, which was already quite expensive.
