CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 390: ACCIDENTAL SUCCESS

Moreover, Xia Mian’s mind is all on making money right now, and she doesn’t seem very interested in this marriage thing.

Having received Xia Mian’s favor, Uncle Sun is exceptionally attentive in handling matters for her.

In less than three days, Uncle Sun recruited three world-class chefs for Xia Mian.

The three chefs specialize in different cuisines, but each has reached the pinnacle in their respective fields.

Xia Mian briefed the three chefs, informed them of the potential dangers they might face, and explained the compensation offered, letting them decide whether to accept her employment.

Once they accept her employment, they’ll need to sign a confidentiality agreement with her.

Although the three chefs are top-notch globally, the salary Xia Mian offered is three times higher than what they previously earned.

The three of them were tempted, and after a brief consideration, they agreed to Xia Mian’s terms.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, Xia Mian had Xia Weizhang come over to the present world to take them away.

Xia Mian wasn’t worried about these three going around talking, after all, the confidentiality agreement she set up would bind them with the restrictions she imposed; there are some things they couldn’t say even if they wanted to.

With the three chefs taking their positions, Xia Mian didn’t have any great ideas for the moment.

Both the Lu Group and the Song Group have capable people managing them, giving Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian some rare free time.

During the rare free time of Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, Fu Jingtian and his wife came to visit.

Last time, Xia Mian helped the Yang Family greatly, and Yang Family’s parents have been wanting to visit and thank her ever since for her kindness.

However, during this time, Fu Jingtian couldn’t get in touch with Lu Zechuan.

Finally, today, Fu Jingtian managed to get through to Lu Zechuan on the phone.

With Fu Jingtian visiting, Lu Zechuan couldn’t exactly slam the door in his face.

Inviting Fu Jingtian to sit in the living room, Lu Zechuan went back to preparing some sweet treats for Xia Mian while wearing an apron.

Seeing the once high-and-mighty Lu Zechuan now wearing an apron and bustling around for a woman, Fu Jingtian almost dropped his eyeballs in shock.

Is this still the Lu Zechuan he knows?

Yang Yuming was full of envy, "Mr. Lu is really considerate towards Miss Xia!"

Fu Jingtian could only manage a slight chuckle.

He always thought he was good to Yang Yuming, but compared to this showy Lu Zechuan, it seemed like he fell a bit short.

Lu Zechuan wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the visit from Fu Jingtian and his wife; after greeting them and inviting them to sit down, he continued with his own tasks.

Fu Jingtian didn’t mind Lu Zechuan’s attitude, he sat on the sofa with Yang Yuming and started chatting with Xia Mian.

"Miss Xia, about last time, thank you so much," Yang Yuming smiled sincerely at Xia Mian, "We’ve come over a few times lately, but you and Mr. Lu were never home."

Yang Yuming said while handing over the fruit basket she brought.

"Recently, this kind of fruit is trending among society ladies, I tried it, and the taste and effects are quite good, so I brought some over for Miss Xia as well..." Yang Yuming said this with a bit of embarrassment.

To express gratitude for such a great favor, and only bringing a fruit basket, surely Miss Xia wouldn’t think she’s being cheap?

But she really did spend a considerable amount to get this fruit basket...

Xia Mian looked down at the fruit basket on the coffee table, her expression somewhat indescribable.

"Mrs. Fu, this fruit, it actually came from our side, didn’t you know?" Xia Mian smiled faintly, her smile a bit awkward.

The things she sold were bought back and given to her...

This operation even left her a bit confused...

Technically, since Yang Yuming bought the fruit over, she could accept them and pretend she didn’t know, and things wouldn’t be so awkward.

But since Yang Yuming managed to buy this fruit, it indicated that it was quite sought-after in the elite circles.

Since the Fu Family has a cooperative relationship with the Lu Family, she could share this profitable avenue.

The Fu Family didn’t have fewer connections than the Lu Family; there’s money to be made together.

Hearing Xia Mian’s words, Yang Yuming was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on, "Miss Xia, since you have such good stuff, could we possibly source directly from you..."

Sourcing directly was secondary; ensuring she has a continuous supply was the main concern.

During this time, Yang Yuming had fed this fruit to her family, and everyone unanimously agreed that it tasted as incredible as the Immortal Peach Sun Wukong ate.

Although the fruit was ridiculously expensive, its value justified the cost.

Yang Yuming felt it was worth the money.

Yang Yuming’s inquiry got Fu Jingtian thinking as well.

Recently, there’s been a trend among the upper echelons of Beijing, with noble ladies all chasing after this fruit. Originally, he didn’t pay much mind, but after tasting it, he found it exceptionally delightful.

Plus, with Xia Mian now saying this item was distributed from her side, Fu Jingtian thought he could become a middleman.

"Miss Xia, perhaps you can consider my wife’s proposal." Fu Jingtian smiled slightly, "Rest assured, Miss Xia, I won’t make things difficult for you."

Xia Mian smiled, "Mr. Fu, since I told you this item was distributed from my side, I do intend to collaborate with you."

Just as Xia Mian finished speaking, Lu Zechuan walked over with a tray of sweet treats.

The tray was exquisite, and the treats on it were even more so.

Lu Zechuan picked up a treat and brought it to Xia Mian’s lips, "How’s the taste?"

Xia Mian readily took a bite, the flavor was refreshing and not overly sweet, "Not bad."

Receiving Xia Mian’s praise, Lu Zechuan smiled like a child, and conveniently sat beside Xia Mian, looking at Fu Jingtian, "How do you feel about my Mianmian’s proposal?"

Dealing in the fruit trade could make money, though not a vast amount. If there was someone to help find a market, Lu Zechuan welcomed the help.

Seeing the joy in Fu Jingtian’s eyes, "If you are willing to provide us with the supplies, we would be very eager to collaborate!"

After all, it’s an investment with great returns.

Xia Mian chuckled, "If you’re agreeable, we can send someone over later to sign a contract with you."

Though we are friends, some matters are best discussed outright.

After all, Fu Jingtian represents the Fu Family, not just himself.

Fu Jingtian’s smile widened, "We’ll follow Miss Xia’s lead completely."

When Fu Jingtian and Yang Yuming left Lu Zechuan’s villa, they felt very relaxed.

They hadn’t expected that this visit to Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian’s place would yield such unexpected benefits.

Indeed, when clinging to Xia Mian’s leg, everything seems to turn out wonderfully.
