Chapter 34: Presale

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Fan did not mention the past, but they understood her meaning. After exchanging glances, they tacitly refrained from discussing the previous topic. Instead, they felt a bit guilty because Lin Fan sold them the clothes at cost price.

Seeing this, Lin Fan said, “Doing business is another matter. Don’t overthink it, just choose according to your hearts!”

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, the military wives relaxed. Many of them took out ten or twenty yuan and eagerly handed it to Lin Fan.

“Lin Fan, I want to buy one!”

“I’ll take two!”

Lin Fan seemed to have underestimated the impact this time. As she looked at the hands reaching out with money, she felt both happy and a little overwhelmed.

Knowing about the celebration banquet two days ago, she had spent the entire day at Ning Yan’s house yesterday, working her sewing machine until it was almost smoking. She had only managed to make eight sets. How could she satisfy so many people’s needs at once?

“Don’t rush, everyone!”

Helplessly, Lin Fan shouted, “To be honest, I only have eight sets of clothes with me right now. You can come to my place to check the styles and colors based on your preferences. First come, first served. If we run out of stock, you might have to wait for a while. If you’re okay with that, you can pay a deposit first. When you get the clothes and are satisfied, you can settle the remaining amount.”

The military wives stopped and listened to Lin Fan. After understanding the situation, they withdrew their hands and said, “We’ll follow Lin Fan’s plan!”

The soldiers, sipping their second bowl of green bean soup, savored the difference this time.

Besides the refreshing coolness, there was a faint mung bean fragrance lingering on their lips and teeth. The sweetness was just right. Regardless of the presence of lotus seeds, they found it much tastier than the green bean soup cooked by the kitchen team!

“Xiao Liu, are you sure it’s not your taste buds acting up?” someone doubted.

“Impossible!” Xiao Liu stood up abruptly, glaring at the person. “You might not believe me, but you can’t doubt my taste! Just wait until I gather evidence; I’ll come back and settle the score with you!”

Xiao Liu looked around, located Lin Fan, and excitedly ran over. But what was going on with that group of women? They surrounded Lin Fan in the center, forming an impenetrable wall. How was he supposed to gather evidence?

Yan Shun had already halted the distribution of green bean soup. Seeing Lin Fan surrounded by the military wives, dripping with sweat, he paused and exchanged helpless glances with Xiao Liu.

“Captain…” Xiao Liu sighed.

This scene surprised Yan Shun as well; he shrugged in resignation.

Lin Fan guided the military wives toward her home.

Xiao Liu and Yan Shun had no choice but to follow the ‘troops’ forward, yet they still couldn’t get close to Lin Fan.

As they were about to leave the military compound, someone ran up to Yan Shun. “Lieutenant Yan, Commander Yu wants to see you.”

At this point, almost everyone assumed the celebration was over. Yan Shun had a vague idea of why Commander Yu wanted to see him. He glanced reluctantly in the direction Lin Fan had gone and finally followed the messenger to Commander Yu’s office.

“Yan, no need to be formal, please, have a seat,” Commander Yu said amiably, gesturing towards the chair opposite him.

“Yes, sir!”

Knowing it could not be something bad, Yan Shun did not feel too nervous. He sat confidently in the chair.

“You probably know why I’ve called you here. Your wife has made significant changes, which is commendable,” Commander Yu nodded thoughtfully. “But regarding the issue of family conduct, I hope you both can continue to maintain the standard. Can you do that?”

“Report, sir! Absolutely!”

Yan Shun stood up briskly, his reply resounding in the room.

After observing for several days, he had come to believe that Lin Fan had indeed changed. Whether it was losing weight, cooking, or doing good deeds anonymously, these were not things the old Lin Fan would have done. Moreover, she personally sent Li Wei to prison and retrieved the military district’s belongings. She was earnestly planning their future together.

“Good!” Commander Yu was very satisfied with Yan Shun’s response. “With that attitude, I’ve never been wrong about you. Double your efforts, and your future will undoubtedly be bright!”

Yan Shun smiled.

Even without Commander Yu’s words, he would still strive for success.
