Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 128: The First Order Secured

Su Hui was surprised to be called out, but she immediately realized that they did indeed have things to do.

The factory has offices and study rooms.

It was also set up by Lu Qiaoge.

Now that all schools have resumed normal classes, we can start teaching academic subjects here.

There is a library here, with many books on the simple bookshelves.

Su Hui led everyone in taking study notes.

Old Lin over there gave Lu Qiaoge a gentle look; this was the young comrade.

If it weren't for her, I would have missed out on Chang An. Even if I was disappointed in the end, it would be better than passing by and leaving me with a lifetime of regret.

Perhaps family members share a kind of intuition.

Just like twins have a telepathic connection, he actually had one too. He couldn't describe the feeling, but it was like a hammer was pounding on his heart.

Old Lin wanted to investigate immediately; he didn't want to wait a moment longer.

Moreover, he was worried that if he stayed any longer, Chang An would find out.

But then Zhen Xi suddenly arrived.

They kept saying they wanted to find a factory manager and investors.

He can't walk anymore.

He worried that they lacked experience in dealing with people like Zhen Xi.

Moreover, he knew that Qiao Ge was the acting factory manager of this small factory, so he had to follow him to prevent any problems from arising.

I didn't expect that this young comrade Qiao Ge would handle it so well.

Appropriate and generous.

It shows a firm stance, yet also saves face for the other party.

Excellent, excellent, it truly stood the test.

But he didn't leave; he stood at the door talking to Lao Hu and his secretary.

Deputy Factory Director Lin went with Zhen Xi.

He didn't say anything; just being there was his way of showing his support.

Hu Ze never expected to meet a person from the port city in his lifetime.

Oh, so they have the same accent as people from the South.

He was still somewhat excited to be by Lu Qiaoge's side.

Lu Qiaoge then led Zhen Xi into the courtyard, saying as they walked, "Mr. Zhen, are you interested in the roasted nuts factory I mentioned earlier? Actually, I think even if you're not interested, you can still take a look, just to experience the historical development of Jiangcheng in recent years."

Take our small factory for example. It was originally a low-lying area washed out by a flood. After it was filled in, we started laying foundations and building houses, which became a large canteen. After the canteen was taken over by the factory management, a pickling factory was established here.

Don't underestimate this pickling factory. During those difficult times, the workers here used their superb pickling skills to make our workers' food delicious. Later, the district established a dedicated pickling factory, and we retired from the business.

But now, this place has been renovated again, also to solve the employment problem for some unemployed youth. So, the street office took the lead and the factory's general office approved the establishment of a small food factory..."

Lu Qiaoge has a pleasant voice; she doesn't say anything she shouldn't, but speaks vividly about what she should say.

Zhen Xi, who had initially been somewhat dismissive, suddenly became quite interested.

He then followed Lu Qiaoge and several workers around.

Old Lin and Director Hu exchanged a glance. It was a small workshop that hadn't even opened yet. He had only come here for Chang'an's sake, so it wasn't really a visit or even a casual look.

But now it's quite surreal; several important figures are staying here.

He asked Lao Hu, "When will this small factory open?"

Old Hu said, "The hygiene inspection was conducted this afternoon. If it passed, I will issue a note to Qiao Ge to go to the First Grain Depot to collect the necessary supplies such as grain and oil."

No doubt, he got it through connections; he even wrote an IOU to the deputy director.

If he doesn't make money and wastes the grain and oil, he'll probably lose all the savings and food coupons he has at home.

The factory wasn't big, and they quickly finished touring it. Lu Qiaoge and Zhen Xi chatted happily.

Zhen Xi's eyes were full of smiles. Since he arrived here, he hadn't been able to connect with anyone—no exaggeration, he simply couldn't get along with anyone he met. To put it another way, he was completely out of place.

This is true in every aspect.

But this Lu Qiaoge is different.

She understood everything he said, even better than he did.

Zhen Xi really wanted to tell Lu Qiaoge: If you go to Hong Kong, you can be my secretary, no, maybe you can even be in charge of something on your own.

But he still knew his limits.

He said with a smile, "I never imagined that such a small place could have undergone so many changes."

He also went to see the weaving, listened to Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze's introduction, and felt that these people, whom he thought were extremely unsophisticated, not only had bright eyes, but also boundless creativity.

He told Lu Qiaoge, "The Zhen family owns a large supermarket, and there's a roasted nuts and seeds section in the supermarket."

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "May I go and take a look at the roasted nut factory in Jiangcheng?"

Lu Qiaoge replied decisively, "Of course, it just depends on when is convenient for you."

It shouldn't be convenient now, but Zhen Xi said, "I'm free after nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Oh dear, tomorrow is Sunday.

Everything went smoothly from then on.

If the hygiene inspection is passed, the food factory can open for business.

Lao Hu went to the general office to report on his work. After all, Zhen Xi had gone to the food factory, and he reported what had happened there to the leaders.

The leader frowned, wondering if it was inappropriate to help the roasted nuts factory secure orders, especially since they had already arranged it for tomorrow morning.

He said he needed to report to Director Hao.

Factory Director Hao waved his hand and said, "Comrade Xiao Lu performed very well, showing good manners and deserves praise. As for the roasted nut factory getting orders, that was just to change the subject. Otherwise, wouldn't Zhen Xi have lost face?"

Then he said to Director Zhao of the General Office, "This small factory has had a tough time. Give them the approvals they deserve and give Comrade Xiao Lu some support."

Such a bold, meticulous, and capable young comrade deserves our support.

Thus, although the food factory of Xiangyang Subdistrict Office was still a large collective, it received its first capital, and then the First Grain Depot approved grain, oil, sugar and other products for it.

After Zhen Xi left, Lu Qiaoge went to the neighborhood office to call Su Hongmei.

Upon hearing this, Su Hongmei was overjoyed.

The roasted nuts and seeds factory belongs to the district.

If she gets foreign trade orders, that's also part of her work achievements.

Lu Qiaoge reminded her, "Sister Su, don't be too happy yet. Mr. Zhen is just going to take a look first. Also, if the other party needs a large quantity, can you meet the requirements?"

Su Hongmei: "I'll go to the roasting factory right now. We have a lot of sunflower seeds in stock this year. The technicians have also developed a method for roasting sunflower seeds with cream. Then we can continue to harvest new sunflower seeds in the fall. Although we don't have to worry about selling them, it would be much more meaningful if we could exchange them for foreign exchange to contribute to the country. Qiao Ge, don't worry, as long as he has this intention, we can definitely meet his requirements."

Lu Qiaoge hadn't expected that Sister Su would be so decisive and efficient, arriving at the Lu family home in the evening.

She brought Lu Qiaoge three paper bags.

These are three different flavors of sunflower seeds.

They smell good, they all smell good.

Especially the original flavor, the aroma instantly fills the mouth.

Lu Qiaoge discovered that her family preferred the spiced and creamy flavors.

It was wrapped in kraft paper, and the opening was sealed. It was printed with melon seeds.

Actually, no packaging is needed; a whole large sack will suffice.

The next day, Lu Qiaoge and Sister Su took Zhen Xi to the roasted nuts and seeds factory.

As they were leaving, Chairman Zhen greeted them with a smile.

It is clearly supported.

No one expected that Zhen Xi would order 100,000 M yuan worth of melon seeds right off the bat...

Happy weekend, everyone! Please continue reading and give me your monthly votes. Also, thank you for your monthly votes, thank you SuSu (I typed this by hand), and thank you caroletu for your generous donations!
