Chapter 361: Have You Been Quite Free Lately?

Chapter 361: Have You Had a Lot of Free Time Lately?

Fu Tinghua looked at Xie Yunxin and suddenly gave her a mysterious smile.

"Huh? Why are you smiling at me like that? That’s kinda creepy," Xie Yunxin frowned, visibly uncomfortable.

Fu Tinghua was unbelievable. Didn’t he know how handsome he was? Smiling like that at a single woman like her.

Thankfully, she wasn’t interested in him. If it were any other doctor or nurse, they’d probably be swooning right then and there.

"Dr. Xie, I believe you don’t have a boyfriend, right?" Fu Tinghua got straight to the point.

Hearing such a question, Xie Yunxin was even more weirded out.

"Ah? What’s this about? I... I’m not into married men, you know that," Xie Yunxin quickly replied.

Fu Tinghua: "......"

Seeing his speechless expression, Xie Yunxin seemed to suddenly realize something and widened her eyes. "Wait—are you... trying to set me up?"

Once she got his meaning, Fu Tinghua nodded with a smile.

Honestly, Xie Yunxin never expected Fu Tinghua to be so free that he’d play the matchmaker.

At the hospital, he never seemed to care about this kind of thing.

"You..." Xie Yunxin hesitated before asking again, "Have you had too much time on your hands lately?"

Fu Tinghua: "......"

He let out a small sigh and admitted, "Alright, it’s my wife. She wants to introduce someone to you. I know the guy—he’s got good looks, a solid background, and a decent personality. So I’m just asking if you’d be willing to meet him."

Xie Yunxin was surprised. Wait, Su He’s the one trying to set me up?

"His looks are good too? As good as yours?" Xie Yunxin suddenly asked.

Fu Tinghua: "......."

Matchmaking was seriously tough. Next time, he would never agree to such a troublesome task.

Just look at the weird questions she kept throwing at him.

Seeing Fu Tinghua fall silent, Xie Yunxin suddenly broke into laughter.

"Fine, I’ll agree. Thank you. And please thank Su He for me too," Xie Yunxin said, now that she’d had her fun teasing him.

"Good. When are you free?" Fu Tinghua moved on to scheduling.

"Saturday. You know my schedule—when am I ever free?" Xie Yunxin said helplessly.

"Right, he’s free weekends too, probably."

"So what does he do?" Xie Yunxin inquired further.

Fu Tinghua had assumed she wasn’t really interested and was only agreeing just to be polite to him and Su He.

"He’s a police officer—a precinct captain," Fu Tinghua answered straightforwardly.

"Ah? In Wen City?" Xie Yunxin blurted out.

"He's local, but he'll come to Wencheng sooner or later."

Xie Yunxin fell silent...

"Alright, just let me know the time and place when it's settled. I'll head out now." With that, Xie Yunxin went back to work.

As for the matchmaking event on Saturday, she completely put it out of her mind.

Her family had been pressuring her to get married every day, and it had driven her crazy.

From initial anxiety to now total apathy, the constant nagging had made Xie Yunxin indifferent.

She'd decided: if she didn’t meet the right person, she wouldn’t marry.

After all, she had a stable career and a decent income. So what if she never found the right person in this lifetime?

Now, Xie Yunxin had cut ties with her family and was living independently.

It had to be said, her mindset was truly progressive.

After encountering one weird matchmaking encounter after another, she had completely given up on the idea of marrying for the sake of it.

Honestly, she’d rather be alone than spend her life with someone she didn't love.

That evening, Fu Tinghua went home and told Su He the good news—Xie Yunxin had agreed to meet Zhou Liqun.

"Great, Liangchuan’s grandmother will be thrilled. There’s still a day left before the weekend, so no hurry," Su He said with a smile.

"By the way, has your brother visited lately?" Fu Tinghua suddenly asked.

Durian season was slowly winding down.

"Right, there are no durians left to deliver," Su He replied with a laugh.

Without durians, the shop’s daily income had dropped by half.

Still, they were turning a profit either way.

"Dr. Fu, I want to start a food processing factory," Su He suddenly said.

"Hmm? What brought this on?"

"I just want to make more money. I plan to set up a factory and stock small stores. Eventually, I might even open a chain supermarket, with products sourced from that factory," Su He explained her thoughts directly to Fu Tinghua.

The food processing factory was real, but the products she intended to sell would be blended with items from her space.

Otherwise, what was the point of sitting on all those space points? She had to find a way to turn them into cash.

With a food processing factory, she wouldn’t have to worry about inspections, and exporting goods would be much more legitimate.

"You’ve got something else planned, don’t you?" Fu Tinghua saw through her little scheme and asked.

"Ugh, how are you so sharp? I can’t hide anything from you," Su He sighed in frustration.

Being with someone too intelligent was kind of annoying.

"You’re an open book. You never take risks without a backup plan. Starting a factory is a big risk—you must have some kind of ace up your sleeve, even if you don’t have much capital right now."

Fu Tinghua’s guess wasn’t 100% accurate, but it was pretty spot-on.

"Well, didn’t I tell you I have a dimensional inventory system? There are still over a million system points in it, and they aren't redeemable for money. So I thought about using those points to purchase inventory within the system and then resell the goods in this world," Su He explained frankly to Fu Tinghua without holding anything back.

"The food inside—is it safe?" Fu Tinghua’s first reaction was this.

"Safe, absolutely safe. The ingredient lists and everything are completely transparent. Of course, we’ll send samples for quality inspection first," Su He quickly added.

Right now, her goods could still be sold as a mix.

But if she were to open a factory, all samples would definitely need to be sent for inspection.

Su He wasn’t the type to compromise on ethics for money. Whether it was products made on-site at the factory or items from the dimensional inventory system, everything would have to be tested.

She also wanted to see if the dimensional inventory system would lie.

Seeing how nervous Su He was, Fu Tinghua reached out and patted her head reassuringly. "Mm, I believe in you. Go ahead and do it. When you're ready, I’ll help you get the factory approval paperwork sorted."

With Fu Tinghua's connections these days, getting approval for a small food factory would be easy—she could probably even get a private steel mill approved if she wanted.
