A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

After hanging up the phone, An Ning walked out of the factory manager's office and nodded to Chen Hai, who was looking at her at the same time.

"Did they agree?"

"Hmm," An Ning replied. "Has the factory manager not returned yet?"

"Here it comes, here it comes!"

The factory manager's voice came from around the corner. He took short steps and waved to An Ning, looking quite cheerful.

"Let me introduce you. This is Accountant Su from our toy factory. He will provide you with a quote on my behalf. Of course, please feel free to make any requests you may have, and we will try our best to accommodate them."

He glanced towards the office: "We don't need the phone anymore, right?"

"no need."

"Shall we go inside the office and sit down to talk?"

"Row."

Before deciding to open a toy factory, the military had a good understanding of the prices of the machines needed for the toy factory and estimated a rough range, which An Ning then reviewed.

However, the price they were paying based on a brand new production line. They hadn't expected that Anning's trip would allow them to directly purchase equipment from an existing toy factory that they had only bought a few years ago, at a price 30% lower than the price of brand new equipment, including shipping costs.

In the end, everyone parted with smiles. Before leaving, the toy factory manager wanted to treat Anning and the others to a meal, but Anning declined. However, he still said that he would cover their food and lodging in the county during this period.

Huang Yu was shocked to learn that An Ning and her team had resolved the matter in such a short time: "Didn't you even consider it further before making this decision?"

Song Wenyuan shrugged and said, "She made the decision; I don't have that right."

"Aren't we going to the other county?"

An Ning said, "I'm not going. The factory manager here is a very honest person. He told us about the situation over there. It's similar to here, but the equipment is even older. There's no need to make an extra trip."

"I even asked my uncle for four days off!" Huang Yu exclaimed, as if struck by lightning. "If you guys finish now, wouldn't all my work yesterday have been for nothing?"

"Do you really have to go back today?" Song Wenyuan rolled his eyes at him. "We'll be studying here for a while longer. If you really don't want to go back, your uncle won't know if you stay a few more days."

"Oh right!" Huang Yu suddenly realized.

"Are you stupid?"

"You're the idiot! I was just exhausted from working all day yesterday."

"It was my biggest mistake to ask you to be our driver today. Luckily, nothing bad happened."

Huang Yu was furious, and the two started fighting on the spot.

Seeing that they had stopped arguing, An Ning finally spoke up to stop them: "Alright, alright, it's about time. Let's pack up and get ready for dinner!"

After an afternoon of rest, the child has almost recovered.

I didn't seem to have any problems when I traveled by train or boat before, but I didn't expect that I would get carsick after sitting in a jeep for a long time.

But thinking about it, it's quite normal. Cars nowadays are very different from those in later generations. On the one hand, there's the issue of shock absorption, and on the other hand, the roads they traveled on were winding mountain roads. They would accelerate and decelerate, go uphill and downhill, so the car would jerk along with it. Plus, there was that unpleasant smell of gasoline, which was unbearable for some people.

Today, Anning finalized a general deal with the toy factory. Starting tomorrow, she will learn how to use the machinery in the toy factory and the details of each process.

Once the contract is complete and both parties have signed it, the military will transfer the first payment. The remaining payment will be settled after the equipment arrives at the location and is installed without any problems.

“This place is close to the sea, and we’ll have to take the sea route to transport the equipment back anyway. Let’s just leave from this port,” Song Wenyuan said during the meal. “I’ll take care of the boat issue.”

"Brother Hai, when did you become so capable? I've never heard of you before." Huang Yu had relaxed all day and dared to joke with Song Wenyuan.

Then I received a piercing gaze.

Song Wenyuan looked at him with a half-smile: "There are many things you haven't heard of. Do I have to report everything to you?"

Huang Yu immediately brought his knees together: "How could that be? Your matters are all important, how could you report them to me? It was my fault for being so rude!"

Besides Xue Man, Huang Yu was the second brother Chen Hai had met in An Ning's life, and they were both quite close. Watching them get along, An Ning felt the temperature around her suddenly warm up a lot.

During the apocalypse, as the team leader, in order to maintain her authority, she could only keep a straight face and watch her team members play around on the sidelines.

She died in a freezing, snowy place.

Since her rebirth, Zhao Xuemei has been the only person she's close to. Zhao Xuemei is a very kind and warm person who will enthusiastically bring Anning into her world. But for some reason, Anning always feels there's a barrier between her and Zhao Xuemei, and there are some things she can't tell her.

She would only reveal some of her true thoughts when writing to Chen Hai.

And now, Chen Hai has brought her into his world in his own way.

As the two grown men ate, they somehow started competing to make the child laugh.

He would make funny faces, tell jokes, let her sit on his shoulders and ride like a horse, and then lift her up in his arms... Time flew by.

The next day, Anning officially began learning the things that needed to be learned at the toy factory.

Although the machines in the toy factory were models she had never seen before, she had at least seen how things worked, and with Master Luo's guidance, she quickly learned how to use the machines, drawing on her self-taught knowledge from her previous life.

But that's just the simplest part; the real challenge lies in the inspection and maintenance of the machines.

If the machine stops working, how do we troubleshoot the problem, pinpoint the exact location of the fault, and fix it? These are all questions.

Moreover, considering the military's request for her cooperation, she deliberately slowed down to make herself appear less outstanding.

On the third day, the two parties officially signed the contract, but that afternoon, Anning received a call from the military.

The call went directly to the toy factory manager's office. The manager asked An Ning to answer it, and it was Li Bowen on the other end.

"Comrade Anning, I heard that you had reached an agreement with the toy factory in Guangzhou to purchase their equipment, but you have been dragging your feet and haven't given a reply yet?"

"what?"

An Ning's mind was full of questions.

When did she finalize the deal with Guangzhou Toy Factory to purchase their equipment?

“You misunderstand. When I finished my visit there, I only said I needed to think about it. I didn’t convey any intention to buy, and I didn’t even mention the price. How can you say that we’ve reached an agreement?”

"It's not a matter of whether I misunderstood or not, the problem is that the call from over there is coming to the military. Is there some misunderstanding between you?"
