Chapter 440 Meeting the Minister

Fu Anhua nudged his son, making him stand in front, and smiled at He Yuan, saying, "My son has been talking about Xiaoyu these past two days."

Fu Shuyan's face immediately turned bright red, and she tugged hard at her father's sleeve.

Fu Anhua pointed to his son: "Look, he's even shy now. No wonder Xiaoyu calls him Honghong."

As a father.

I love seeing kids make fools of themselves.

Especially since their own apple is a red apple.

Fu Shuyan stammered, completely at a loss for words.

He Yuanxian shook hands with Fu Anhua: "Thank you for coming to pick us up so late."

The two communicated after the children finished their phone call; otherwise, He Yuan wouldn't have been so careless as to entrust his two children to Fu Anhua.

Fu Anhua waved his hand: "It's nothing. It's cold here. I'll help you get your luggage into the car first."

He first helped He Yuan load his luggage into the trunk.

The two then sat in the front row, while Chen Qing held Xiao Yu and sat in the back row with He Yuxiang and Fu Shuyan.

Neither He Yuxiang nor Fu Shuyan liked to talk.

He Yuxiang had a cocky, arrogant look on his face.

Fu Shuyan is shy like a little apple.

Xiaoyu leaned on her aunt's shoulder. She originally wanted to chat with Fu Shuyan, but she had never stayed up so late before. Feeling a sense of security, she quickly fell asleep.

He Yuxiang glanced at Fu Shuyan, whose ears were still red, and, thinking that he would be going to Fu Shuyan's house for the next two days, asked kindly, "When did your leg get better?"

"It was fine six months ago."

Fu Anhua responded obediently.

Chen Qing looked at the two of them with a complicated emotion.

The two children, unaware of anything, chatted quite well.

He Yuxiang asked Fu Shuyan what the capital city was like.

When the conversation turned to familiar topics, Fu Shuyan was able to talk at length, introducing He Yuxiang to fun and delicious places in the capital, and even saying, "Come to my house tomorrow, and I'll take you and Xiaoyu out to play."

He Yuxiang: "Thank you."

He had already prepared the money to pay the bill.

The station wasn't far from the guesthouse; Fu Anhua drove there in half an hour. When he dropped them off, Fu Anhua said directly, "You two have things to do tomorrow, so I'll send someone to pick up the two children."

He Yuan and Chen Qing thanked them politely.

Fu Shuyan leaned against the car window, reluctantly saying goodbye to them.

After the family of four arrived at the guesthouse, Chen Qing woke up Xiao Yu and helped the drowsy Xiao Yu take a bath.

After taking a shower, He Yuan had cleaned the three beds in the room. Chen Qing slept with Xiao Yu in her arms, while He Yuan and He Yuxiang slept separately.

After all that fuss, it was already three o'clock.

Comrade Chen Qing, the king of sleeping in, woke up at six o'clock!
At crucial moments, Chen Qing still had a clear understanding of the situation.

In a rare moment, she woke up while her family was still asleep.

But at this moment, Chen Qing felt no excitement at all; he was filled with drowsiness.

She had something to do today, so she couldn't get up after only three hours of sleep. If she could have continued sleeping, she would never have gotten up.

After quietly leaving the house and washing up, Chen Qing went to He Yuan's bedside, squatted down beside him, and whispered, "He Yuan, I'm going out now."

He Yuan opened his eyes, ruffled her hair, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You've worked hard." Chen Qing also ruffled his hair and said, "You've worked hard."

She took the documents, went out to have breakfast, then took a bus and then a tram to Xicheng District, and finally walked to the Ministry of Light Industry in Xicheng District. This journey took an hour.

Chen Qing rushed to the Ministry of Light Industry, showed his identification to the security personnel, and said, "I have already made an appointment with the Minister of Light Industry. Could you please take me to see him?"

As they were talking, Chen Qing handed him a red envelope. The envelope wasn't sealed tightly, and if you squeezed it slightly, you could see that there was ten yuan inside.

The security personnel were delighted when they saw this: "Wait here, I'll go get help right away."

Money makes the world go round. He accepted a full ten yuan and gave the minister's secretary a pack of good cigarettes, asking the secretary to inform him that there was indeed an appointment. He then took Chen Qing to see the minister without delay.

On the way to see the minister, he said to Chen Qing, "Our minister is a very easy-going person and an honest man. Honest people are generally willing to listen, and he can listen no matter what. But if an honest person is not willing to listen, he will not listen no matter what. If you need to do something later, have a good talk with the minister."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Qing arrived at the minister's office.

As the Minister of Light Industry, he oversaw all aspects of the clothing and textile industry, with responsibilities covering raw material supply, production planning, and technological upgrades. He was a key decision-maker in the textile industry.

She was also the most important person in helping her achieve her goals, without exception!

The two were not strangers; they had even collaborated on a matter involving acetate cloth.

Lian Zhenghao was very satisfied with the manuscript Chen Qing gave him last time, so when Chen Qing asked him to make an appointment, Lian Zhenghao readily agreed despite being so busy: "Comrade Chen, it's been a long time."

"Minister Lian, it's been a long time."

The two men smiled and shook hands.

Lian Zhenghao asked his secretary to pour tea, and also gestured for Chen Qing to sit down. He smiled and said, "I heard you have to go to receive an award tomorrow. As a talent in our textile department, I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you, Minister Lian. It is my honor to be qualified to contribute to our country's textile industry." Chen Qing thanked his secretary for the tea he poured, held it in his hands, and gently blew on it.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lian Zhenghao asked, "Comrade Chen, what surprise have you prepared for this special visit?"

"It's not exactly a surprise, just a small idea," Chen Qing said, pulling out a thick stack of documents.

Lian Zhenghao was taken aback: "So many?"

"It is mainly divided into three parts: overall plan, design draft, and advertising concept."

After Chen Qing distinguished himself, he first handed the design draft to Lian Zhenghao for review.

Lian Zhenghao took it. He had great trust in Chen Qing's creative abilities. He looked through more than twenty of her clothes, which were mainly in deep earth tones, such as brown, camel, and dark green.

Lian Zhenghao looked at Chen Qing's manuscript and felt that even the cutting would require a lot of work, not to mention the rare fabric and certain decorations she had marked.

The clothes are absolutely gorgeous!

There is no doubt about this.

Overall, it presents a low-key, noble, and elegant feel.

but!

“We can’t make these clothes in China. We can’t make the fabric, the cut, the accessories! If we could, it would be easy to be criticized. The clothes you designed before were wearable by working people, but the clothes you design now are not wearable by working people, so it would be easy to be criticized.”

"If acetate cloth is acceptable, why can't mine be?"

"Acetate cloth is a political necessity. Japan makes a lot of money from this cloth. After we get the cloth, we will naturally want to make money because the country is short of foreign exchange."

Foreign exchange is essential for economic survival, industrial development, financial stability, and diplomatic strategy. Currently, it is in dire need. As the Minister of Light Industry, he can only try to earn foreign exchange to alleviate the financial strain.

Currently, Japan has collaborations with China. Lian Zhenghao wants to exchange manpower for technology, but he does not plan to sell or exhibit it in China.

However, the clothes designed by Chen Qing perfectly met the needs of the capital market.

Perhaps you can make a lot of money.

But it's even harder to get approved!
