Sun Li naturally considered Ye Ling perfect, but Min Nan’s father was different. That man, now in a position of influence, would likely have a more stringent and discerning judgment when it came to his daughter-in-law.
When Sun Li visited Min Nan’s house for New Year’s greetings, she noticed many officials bringing unmarried girls of suitable age. The intentions behind these actions were quite clear.
These young girls came from well-off families with good backgrounds.
Sun Li couldn’t help but think, “What if Min Nan’s father isn’t satisfied with Ye Ling?”
If Ye Ling could secure a better job in the county, it would demonstrate her capabilities. In such a scenario, Ye Ling would have more confidence when facing Min Nan’s father.
Of course, these were Sun Li’s thoughts, and she would always respect Ye Ling’s choices.
After hearing Sun Li’s words, Ye Ling hesitated for a moment but quickly dismissed the idea of working at the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Her life goal had long been set. She wanted to inherit and promote the medical skills of the Ye family. While working in the county might be a dream for many, it held little attraction for her.
Even though Ye Ling had no intention of working at the county supply and marketing cooperative, she sensed that the director’s interest in her formula was genuine since the director came for her personally.
Ye Ling said after thinking for a while, “Auntie Sun, I don’t plan to work at the county supply and marketing cooperative.”
Sun Li’s expectations aligned with Ye Ling’s response. Seeing that Ye Ling had her own plans, Sun Li felt genuinely pleased.
She admired girls who had a strong sense of individuality.
Ye Ling, with her independence and capabilities, would undoubtedly lead a better life, even without working in the county.
Sun Li acknowledged her previous narrow-minded thoughts. After all, if Min Nan liked Ye Ling, that was sufficient.
Sun Li nodded. “Since you don’t want to go, then forget it. However, the director of the purchasing department at the county supply and marketing cooperative mentioned that if you’re not interested in working in the county, you can sell your formula to them. They’ll try their best to offer a satisfactory price.”
Ye Ling shook her head slowly. “I don’t plan to sell the formula either.”
Ye Ling’s choice indeed surprised Sun Li. Ye Ling wasn’t even twenty years old yet, and she already showed little interest in money.
But before Sun Li could finish contemplating, Ye Ling continued, “I think we can provide the processed meat to the supply and marketing cooperative.
However, I’m not sure if they can guarantee the purchase volume and price.” Upon hearing Ye Ling’s words, Sun Li’s eyes lit up.
Certainly, selling the formula to the supply and marketing cooperative would only result in a one-time profit. However, if Ye Ling held onto the formula and sold the finished meat to the supply and marketing cooperative, it could provide a continuous income.
Sun Li looked at Ye Ling with newfound appreciation. She hadn’t expected Ye Ling to possess such business acumen.
“I’m not sure.” Ye Ling pondered for a moment before adding, “Also, the purchasing channel is a concern.”
“I heard that the county’s supply and marketing cooperative and the meat processing plant are partners. There should be no need to worry about the purchase channels,” Sun Li reassured. After finishing her sentence, she hesitated for a moment as if she had something else to say.
Ye Ling seemed to have anticipated Sun Li’s thoughts. She smiled and said, “Auntie Sun, are you worried that if I cooperate with the county’s supply and marketing cooperative in this way, I might attract outsiders’ jealousy after making money? Then, there’s the risk of being reported, right?”
Sun Li nodded. Indeed, Ye Ling was smart. What Sun Li thought of, Ye Ling thought of it as well.
In the past few years, the policy had not been relaxed, and private transactions were still relatively risky.
“It’s a concern.” Sun Li admitted.
“There’s no hurry. I’m just one person, and I still have to work. I won’t have the time to supply the supply and marketing cooperative for an extended period. I’m thinking of finding someone to do this together. As for the specifics, I have some ideas, but I need to study them further,” Ye Ling explained.
Ye Ling planned to go back and understand the relevant policies before carefully planning this matter. If she could succeed, she would have another stable source of income. This was a good thing.
After discussing this matter, Sun Li suggested, “These days, I’ve been harvesting osmanthus with Aunt Hua and the others. We’re going to make osmanthus tea and osmanthus cakes. Would you like to come and take a look? By the way, it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can join Min Nan and the others in going to town for the lantern festival. It’s quite lively every year.”
Ye Ling smiled and nodded. “Alright..”
