Yu Zhou immediately gave his assurance, as supplying limited quantities to whomever was not a significant difficulty for him.
Moreover, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Director Ding Yiping, if not to curry favor.
The fact that he showed up at his home today already indicated that both parties were willing to further improve their relationship. Since that was the case, Yu Zhou was naturally happy to go with the flow.
"With your words, I am at ease. I believe that as long as we cooperate sincerely, both the supply and marketing cooperative and the dried fruit factory will prosper and achieve greater development."
Ding Yiping spoke with certainty. He understood very well that with Yu Zhou's abilities, it would not be difficult to develop the dried fruit factory.
If this were not the case, he, Ding Yiping, would not have personally come to purchase goods based on Liang Xiaohai's one-time request to take sides.
Now, coupled with the booming sales of these melon seeds, he had undoubtedly fully sided with Yu Zhou.
He did not pay much attention to those intermediaries. It was precisely because of this that he felt no psychological pressure in taking sides now.
After chatting about everyday matters with Yu Zhou, Ding Yiping did not stay for dinner at the Yu family's home and took his leave.
When he left, he naturally took the tea that Yu Zhou was giving him, and he was very insistent on paying for it.
In the end, Yu Zhou could not refuse him and accepted it. As long as this relationship had already been clearly established, other things were of little consequence in his eyes.
Of course, it was a good thing that the other party insisted on principles, so much so that even though Yu Zhou did not say it out loud, he inwardly thought highly of Ding Yiping.
In this day and age, people who insisted on proper etiquette were truly rare.
"Has the situation truly opened up?"
After Ding Yiping left, his wife Jiang Jie hurriedly inquired.
Even though she rarely paid attention to Yu Zhou's business, it would be inaccurate to say that Jiang Jie was not worried at all.
After all, it was their family's business. No matter who it was, how could they not pay any attention?
The main reason she had not shown much attention was that she did not want to put pressure on Yu Zhou. After all, he was now managing a large factory, and there was pressure everywhere. If their home were also so oppressive, she could not imagine what Yu Zhou would do.
"Yes, judging by the data from today, the overall situation has opened up, but we still cannot let our guard down."
"The directors of the foodstuff factory will not give up so easily."
"However, everything is within my control, so you don't have to worry too much."
Yu Zhou spoke about the specific situation very frankly. Indeed, the situation in the entire melon seed market had been opened up.
It was even better than he had anticipated. The goods were cleared out in just one week.
Wasn't that indicative of booming sales?
However, the more booming the sales were, the more attention and covetousness it would attract. It was not an easy task to succeed in this business.
As expected, when Yu Zhou said this, Jiang Jie also realized that it was a critical period.
However, she was still very happy, saying, "As long as the situation has opened up, it's a good start."
"You, don't put too much pressure on yourself. After all, sometimes relaxing a little is better than you thinking about how to develop the factory all day long."
"Our lives cannot always revolve around work."
She placed her hand on Yu Zhou's shoulder, trying to comfort her husband with this gesture.
As for Yu Zhou himself, he had been very quiet due to the immense pressure he was under, so much so that even Jiang Jie felt a pang of heartache watching him.
He was doing all this for the family, to make their life better.
"I know, and I won't do anything reckless for the sake of business."
"Besides, with the arrival of our second child, I come home early every day to spend time with you. This is also a form of rest."
Yu Zhou also comforted his wife.
His mindset now had changed significantly from his previous life.
In his previous life, Yu Zhou had few relatives around him because his daughter resented him and he was almost estranged from his own brother.
In such a state, he could only numb himself with work and his career. He didn't even buy a house.
Because even if he had a house, in Yu Zhou's mind in his previous life, it was not a home. Only with family could a place be called home.
After coming to this life, he had always tried his best to reunite with his wife, daughter, and family.
Of course, after business was no longer his entire life, he appeared much more cheerful and happy.
Jiang Jie was someone who could clearly feel the change in Yu Zhou. It was precisely because of this that she advised Yu Zhou not to work so hard and to rest when he could.
As time flowed by, Yu Zhou gradually shifted his focus to his pregnant wife.
He did not come late or leave early every day, but he tried his best to return as soon as possible to cook for his wife occasionally and tidy up the room.
Since his parents had moved in, Yu Zhou and Jiang Jie did not need to worry about Xiao Dou Ding. Xiao Dou Ding, who was in preschool, was happily playing with her friends every day.
As for Yu Zhou, he also began to instruct the factory that apart from matters requiring his personal decision and signature, other things should preferably not disturb him.
Well, no matter what, this period was crucial. Even though business was pressing, what could be more important than his wife's pregnancy?
As expected, the family planning office did not appear at their home.
It was clear that they knew that the Yu family's second child was not an issue at all, and they were too lazy to even visit.
However, one day, when Yu Zhou got off work, he saw Xiao Dou Ding looking at him with longing eyes.
She asked, "Dad! After you have a younger brother or sister, will you and Mom not like Xiao Yu anymore?"
This made Yu Zhou suddenly dumbfounded, almost frozen on the spot.
Yu Zhou, who thought he had prepared for everything, had overlooked the psychological needs of the little girl who needed attention the most at this moment.
For a moment, he felt as if a hundred ants were scratching at his heart. How could he have overlooked her?
How could he have overlooked her?
