“Haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s have lunch first, then you can accompany me to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.”
“Um,” Qin Yang responded indifferently.
Lin Chuxia handed him a pair of chopsticks and began eating on her own.
Having been busy all morning, it was already past mealtime, and she was quite hungry.
Qin Yang watched her eat heartily, thinking she must have been held up by something since she only returned now, suppressing his dissatisfaction and joined her for the meal.
After eating, Lin Chuxia didn’t linger in the shop and led Qin Yang to the courtyard.
There wasn’t much activity in the courtyard, Su Wensong was holding a meeting with some people.
Since some were assigned to handle the market, rearranging the prepared food tasks was necessary.
Seeing Lin Chuxia enter the courtyard, Su Wensong paused the meeting and greeted her.
Lin Chuxia nodded and then stepped aside, revealing Qin Yang behind her, “Good, everyone is here. Let me introduce you, this is my husband, Qin Yang. He doesn’t work in An City, so you probably haven’t met him before. Today is a good opportunity to get acquainted, and it’ll be easier for him to come here in the future.”
Qin Yang hadn’t expected Lin Chuxia to give such a formal introduction during their meeting.
He quickly adjusted his expression and nodded slightly to those present, “Hello, everyone.”
“Hello, Mr. Qin.”
“Hello, Mr. Qin!”
“Hello, boss’s husband…”
Among all the greetings for Mr. Qin, the term ’boss’s husband’ stood out significantly, causing everyone unintentionally to look towards the source of the voice.
Hou Xiaobao scratched his head, “Is that not right? If there is a lady boss, there should be a boss’s husband.”
Qin Yang couldn’t help but twitch his mouth again.
Nice, in less than a day’s time, he had garnered two titles already: disciple and boss’s husband.
He smiled gently, like ice melting, “It’s all good, you can call me whatever you like. Thank you all for supporting Chuxia so much. I hope to count on everyone’s assistance in future work.”
Su Wensong was the first to express his stance.
Ever since Lin Chuxia asked them to market under the name of Xiyang Food, he understood the significant place her husband held in her heart.
Just as he was heading to the office, Little Yuanbao rushed up barking.
It had learned to bark already, guarding Lin Chuxia’s office every day. Strangers could enter the courtyard but were strictly prohibited from approaching her office.
“Yuan Bao, stop barking.”
Lin Chuxia stopped it and rubbed its little head, pointing at Qin Yang, “This is my husband, the closest person to me. Yuan Bao, remember him well, he is also your male master.”
Then turning to Qin Yang, “Qin Yang, come over and pet it. This is the Yuan Bao I mentioned in my letters.”
Qin Yang looked at Lin Chuxia with bright eyes and, following her words, squatted down to pet the puppy.
Perhaps understanding Lin Chuxia’s introduction, Little Yuanbao was not as guarded as before and wagged its tail while showing its belly for a pet.
Lin Chuxia smiled, “Looks like it’s all in the family, carrying the same family aura. Little Yuanbao is very warm to you at first sight. You don’t know, it wasn’t this friendly to strangers at first. When Jia Liang and Houzi first arrived, it barked at people for several days before warming up.”
“Little Yuanbao is very clever,” Qin Yang earnestly said.
Lin Chuxia felt the same; perhaps it was because it drank spiritual spring water, Little Yuanbao was sharper than the average puppy.
To make it even smarter, she now gave it some spiritual spring water to drink every day.
Back in the office, she prepared her documents. All of Lin Chuxia’s IDs were stored in a special space, which she took out while searching through the drawers.
Registering the company required a trip to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce for registration, a notification at the Public Security Bureau, and since they dealt with food, a trip to the Health Bureau to process the food hygiene license was necessary.
Lin Chuxia was well versed in the procedures, which saved a lot of trouble.
After coming out of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Lin Chuxia looked at the company name on the business license with satisfaction and handed it over to Qin Yang, “This is going to be my first company in the future. How about that? Isn’t your wife amazing?”
Qin Yang took the business license handed over by Lin Chuxia, thinking he was only asked to accompany her because she was worried he’d be bored at the shop.
He even thought that going to the Bureau was just to handle some minor things, not expecting her to actually apply for a company.
The name Xiyang on the business license stood out especially, he still remembered how Lin Chuxia felt when she mentioned this name.
Xiyang, combining one character from each of their names.
She said this company carried her hopes and also hoped he would be involved, with the character ’Yang’ representing his participation, wishing their company could be as passionate and enduring as the summer sun, unstoppable.
Qin Yang looked at her smug little expression and sincerely praised, “Impressive, Lin Chuxia, you are my pride.”
Lin Chuxia grinned and leaned in to ask softly, “Do you feel a bit better now?”
Qin Yang’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly averted his gaze.
So she knew everything, that’s why she took him to the courtyard and formally introduced him to those employees.
Not to mention the significance of the company’s name.
Every little thing she did was to make him feel secure.
Qin Yang suddenly felt ashamed of the nefarious thoughts he had harbored before. His wife was open and honest, indeed it was him who had been petty.
“I won’t do it again.”
Lin Chuxia held up a finger in front of him and swayed it, “I like seeing you being petty, Qin Yang, you don’t know how cute you look when you are jealous.”
Calling him cute?
Qin Yang didn’t think it was a good word, and didn’t believe his wife was complimenting him.
“What’s next?”
“Go to the public security bureau for registration,” Lin Chuxia patted the tricycle, asking him to get on.
The two had come out riding the tricycle, Qin Yang’s arm wasn’t convenient, and even though he said he could, Lin Chuxia wouldn’t let him ride a bicycle to carry her.
The tricycle was stable and safe, most importantly, Qin Yang couldn’t ride it.
With one hand, Qin Yang riding the tricycle didn’t go in a straight line, so he had to compromise and let her lead.
Reluctantly, Qin Yang sat on it.
Watching Lin Chuxia hunch over to pedal forward on the tricycle, he, a grown man sitting on the tricycle, always felt the gazes of passersby were probing.
This woman was doing it on purpose, Qin Yang always felt Lin Chuxia had a bit of a mischievous streak, always enjoying watching his blunders.
Ah, what can one do if his own wife has this little hobby? Just pamper her.
A car rushed past face-on, and Lin Chuxia’s eyes seemed to stick on it.
“Qin Yang, when I make it big, I’ll also buy a car, and then the co-pilot seat will be exclusively yours, how about that?”
Qin Yang watched her making hand gestures as if she was to embark on a great mission, a smile spreading across his lips, “Okay.”
This guy, even pedaling a tricycle could pedal with momentum.
Suddenly, Qin Yang no longer felt embarrassed; he sat upright on the tricycle, his voice clear and loud.
“Lin Chuxia, then it’s a deal, no one else can sit in your copilot seat when the time comes.”
Lin Chuxia turned to look at him.
The sun on the winter afternoon was warm and bright, Qin Yang’s smile on his face was warmer and brighter than the sun at that moment…
