Chu Qiao smiled modestly and said, “I only know a little, just what I’ve picked up from books. Please stay for dinner, I’ll go prepare the meal.”  

Han Shizhong and the others tried to decline, but Gu Ye stopped them. 

“Just stay. If you go back, you’ll just end up eating plain noodles again. Aren’t you tired of having them every day?”  

Nearby, Dabao and Xiaobao, who were enjoying their cake, secretly rolled their eyes at this. 

Uncle Gu had only enjoyed a few comfortable days and had already forgotten the times when they had to eat noodles every day. 

They had been so sick of it they could barely stand it, yet Uncle Gu would say, “It’s white flour, eggs, and sesame oil, even landlords couldn’t eat this well in the past. Don’t be ungrateful.”  

Now, hearing Uncle Gu say the same to Uncle Han and the others, it felt a bit like he was speaking without understanding their struggle.  

Chu Qiao went to cook, while Gu Ye and the others stayed in the room, chatting enthusiastically about machine tools.  

“You sold another twenty units? Old Gu, you’re really something else! How much did that bring in?” 

Xu Sanqiang’s excited voice carried through the room, making Chu Qiao’s heart skip a beat.  

Was it Zheng Yuqiang who had bought twenty units?

Today, Gu Ye had lunch with Zheng Yuqiang, likely to discuss the machine tool purchase. 

Chu Qiao mentally calculated the commission for twenty units, ten units would earn 29,000 yuan, so twenty units would be 58,000 yuan.  

Overwhelmed with excitement, Chu Qiao nearly flung the fish out of the pan with a too-forceful stir. 

She quickly reined in her emotions, glanced around to make sure no one had noticed, and took a deep breath to calm herself before continuing to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.  

“I gave him a discount for buying in bulk, 56,000 yuan per unit, still with a 5% commission. But this isn’t really my doing, it’s all thanks to my wife……”  

Gu Ye once again began boasting about his wife, attributing all the credit to her. 

Xu Sanqiang and the others listened with envy, their eyes practically turning green with jealousy.  

“Old Gu, you must have saved up luck from eighteen lifetimes to marry such an auspicious wife. Seriously, what did you do to deserve this? Look at you, you’re nothing special!” 

Xu Sanqiang teased with a laugh.  

“Just pure luck, I guess. Qiao Qiao and I are a match made in heaven, literally destined for each other. It’s the heavens themselves who picked the wife for me, of course my wife is going to be amazing.” 

Gu Ye declared triumphantly, leaving no room for anyone else to boast. 

Chu Qiao’s face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and warmth. 

She didn’t feel that she deserved such high praise, but Gu Ye’s words still filled her with joy. 

Because of that, she took out more ingredients from the refrigerator. Today called for a celebration, and that meant adding extra dishes to the meal.  

After dinner, Xu Sanqiang and the others returned to their own room. 

Gu Ye’s success had motivated them even more, the more machine tools he sold, the clearer it became that gear hobbing machines were in high demand. 

They were convinced they could make a fortune too.  

Once Gu Ye finished washing the dishes, he sat down with Chu Qiao to discuss his meeting with Zheng Yuqiang earlier that day.  

“Old Zheng was straightforward, he got right to the point and said he wanted to buy twenty units. I offered a discount of two thousand yuan per unit, and he said he’d come to the factory tomorrow to inspect the goods. If everything goes well, we can ship them right away.”  

“Make sure you pick the highest quality ones for him. Since he’s dealing with us so fairly, we should act with integrity.” 

Chu Qiao reminded him.  

“Don’t worry, Xingda Machine Tools’ quality is reliable. Too bad, their technology is a bit outdated.” 

Gu Ye assured her.

Gu Ye had full confidence in the quality of the machine tools. 

It was a well-established brand with a long history, so its quality was guaranteed. Moreover, he had personally inspected the workshop. 

Although the workers tended to drag their feet, every technical parameter of the machines met inspection standards. 

Each unit underwent a trial run before leaving the factory and was only shipped out after passing all tests.  

Chu Qiao felt relieved hearing this. As long as there were no issues, everything was fine.
