Fu Chen’an looked pleasantly surprised. “You can eat here too?”

Xiao Yingchun grinned. “That’s easy enough.”

Xiao Yingchun heated up two boxes of self-heating rice.

Fish-fragrant shredded pork rice, beef with bamboo shoots rice, twice-cooked pork rice, and Taiwanese braised pork rice—figuring that Fu Chen’an had a big appetite, Xiao Yingchun prepared four portions in one go.

Fu Chen’an watched wide-eyed as Xiao Yingchun poured cold water straight into the box, tossed in a small packet, then placed the dry, cold rice and dishes on top before covering it.

Before long, thick steam began rising from inside.

A short while later, Xiao Yingchun lifted the lid, and a piping-hot, fragrant meal was somehow ready.

“Give it a try.” Xiao Yingchun cheerfully slid one portion toward him.

Fu Chen’an hesitated, picked up the spoon, and took a bite.

The next second, his eyes widened. He glanced at Xiao Yingchun, met her smiling, nodding gaze, and couldn’t hold back any longer—he devoured the entire portion in one go.

When he looked up after finishing, he realized Xiao Yingchun had only taken two or three bites of her own meal.

Xiao Yingchun pointed at the remaining two portions. “Those are all for you.”

Fu Chen’an didn’t stand on ceremony and swept through the other two portions like a whirlwind.

After eating, the two of them sat on small stools, chatting—one holding a can of cola, the other a cup of plain boiled water.

“How does it heat up just by adding cold water?” Fu Chen’an asked.

“Have you ever seen what happens when lime is mixed with water?” she replied.

Fu Chen’an understood, but a new question soon followed. “Then why does the rice get hot and ready so quickly?”

“It’s already cooked,” Xiao Yingchun explained. “It was just dehydrated before. Once it’s reheated, it warms up very fast.”

“I noticed the dishes aren’t dried out at all. Why are they packaged like this? How long can they be stored this way?”

“This can be stored for over half a year. It’s vacuum-sealed—there’s no air inside. They probably also added preservatives…”

“What are preservatives?”

“…”

Fu Chen’an’s questions came one after another. Xiao Yingchun did her best to answer them, and when she couldn’t, she looked it up online.

By the time Xiao Yingchun came back to her senses, it was already past nine in the evening.

She looked at Fu Chen’an. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you head back first? If you need anything else, you can come again tomorrow.”

Only then did Fu Chen’an seem to realize the time. He stood up to take his leave. “Then I’ll be going.”

Though he said he was leaving, his eyes kept roaming around, clearly reluctant to go.

Seeing that the shelves had been restocked, Fu Chen’an once again decided to clear them out—self-heating rice included—and packed everything up to take with him.

Fu Chen’an insisted on paying, but Xiao Yingchun declined. He had already paid far too much earlier, and she felt embarrassed to ask for more.

Fu Chen’an, however, looked at her seriously. “If it’s ever not enough, tell me anytime. I won’t let you take a loss.”

Xiao Yingchun nodded. A business built on mutual trust and massive profits—how could that not be delightful?

Especially when the client was handsome. Even sitting and chatting together was a pleasure.

By cutting out the middlemen, she saved a considerable amount of money over several truckloads of goods. Xiao Yingchun did the math—she had spent a little over 2.8 million on the goods. After factoring in the cost of the truck, she still had plenty left.

Reassured, she slept soundly that night.

Who would have thought that early the next morning, she would see a message from Dai Hengxin, saying he had something he wanted to discuss with her and asking whether she was free in the morning to talk.

It turned out that after returning home yesterday, Dai Hengxin had discussed Xiao Yingchun’s situation with Dai Wangnian.

They both came to the same conclusion: Xiao Yingchun might be acting as someone else’s front man.
