Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 142 They actually tracked us all the way to Jiangcheng!
Everyone understood what Lu Qiaoge meant. In fact, she had already thought it through. People who felt they had no talent for pastries should choose the handicraft group, but when the food factory was busy, the food group should take the lead.

I don't know how to make shortbread or cornbread, but I do know how to knead dough, which requires manual labor.

Su Hui was the chief technician, Zhou Li assisted her, and Du Shuang was responsible for quantity and accounting records. She had to reconcile accounts with Hu Ze every day.

The food factory is not far from the department store, but it takes more than half an hour to walk there.

Since there was no car available, Lu Qiaoge planned to apply for a handcart.

Everything was arranged quickly.

Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze are temporarily on duty.

Lu Qiaoge asked the two of them to find a retired, trustworthy old worker to be the night watchman.

Actually, the security at the military factory... goes without saying, is the best in Jiangcheng.

This place is under military-style management, and there are security patrol teams in the factory.

However, many things are relative. For example, petty theft is something that is repeatedly prohibited but still cannot be stopped.

Therefore, there must be a night watchman.

Meng Qingshan and the others agreed, and Lu Qiaoge stopped paying attention to it.

Because at that moment, Sister Su arrived with the foreign trade department.

Five comrades and one truck arrived in total.

The truck belongs to Sister Su.

She came and took away the straw hat and some handicrafts she had her eye on.

A new foreign trade exhibition hall has opened in Jiangcheng, and there is a display case from the district there.

Su Hongmei didn't go to see Zhen Xi, as she felt that he was unpredictable and difficult to get along with. She boldly went to see Chairman Zhen instead, but unfortunately, Chairman Zhen said he was not feeling well and did not see her. Instead, she saw the beautiful Secretary Xue.

Women's intuition is usually very accurate.

She knew it was hopeless when she saw this woman.

Sure enough, even when I asked about this matter with a last glimmer of hope, Secretary Xue coldly replied that the Zhen Group did not engage in low-level industries such as handicrafts, especially since the baskets and hampers here were simply too rustic.

Sister Su thought that Secretary Xue might be a shield for Chairman Zhen.

After all, these people swarmed over like flies, begging for orders.

Even the most patriotic person would get annoyed.

But at the same time, I really admire Lu Qiaoge for being able to negotiate a price of 150,000 with Zhen Xi.

The same was true for the foreign trade department; upon seeing Lu Qiaoge, they warmly shook hands and introduced themselves.

Then, they took away all the handwoven items that were stored in the storage room.

Lu Qiao's singer had a note stamped with an official seal.

She can go to the foreign trade department to collect her money tomorrow; oh, and there's also a bonus of 1,500 yuan.

This is a genuine gift, and the approval process was incredibly fast.

The food factory has finally opened for business and started making money.

It is only today that these people have realized how lucrative their pursuit of high-quality and innovative products has been.

Because these are things that no one in Jiangcheng has yet produced.

The straw hat with lace trim has already been arranged with the department store in Hokuto, and it's estimated that it will be delivered to the train tonight.

As for the others, the foreign trade department has some basic skills, so it doesn't matter if they can't be sold for the time being.

After all, these items are not food, so as long as they are properly preserved, there will be virtually no loss.

The foreign trade department was opened up with new ideas.

They are also arranging for people to go to high-quality and innovative projects.

Lu Qiaoge, however, instructed Meng Qingshan and Chang An to design a covered basket for holding sunflower seeds. It didn't need to be too big, just big enough to hold one or two pounds of sunflower seeds.

Let's make 300 first. They can experiment with the materials themselves and use whichever is easiest to obtain.

This time, the craft group earned a whopping 318 yuan.

This is the food factory's first real funding.

For department stores, the settlement is done at the end of the month.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the western sky was filled with magnificent rosy clouds.

Qin Hengzhi drove his specially made Jeep to pick up Lu Qiaoge.

At this moment, An Leilei stood in front of the Workers' Cultural Palace, constantly wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

She wore a light blue dress today, and her expression was slightly different from usual. It seemed that after experiencing such an event, she had grown up and matured.

"An Leilei." Lu Min's voice came from behind.

An Leilei turned around, saw it was her, was surprised for a moment, then smiled and asked, "You're here too? Are you alone?"

Lu Min pointed behind her and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I came with Cao Lanzhu."

An Leilei's eyes widened immediately.

Following the direction Lu Min was pointing, they saw a girl with a ponytail excitedly talking to a middle-aged man.

There was a woman standing next to the middle-aged man.

At this moment, it seems that he is also trying to persuade someone.

An Leilei frowned, then looked at Lu Min with a half-smile: "It's actually normal for her to come with you, isn't it?"

Lu Min wasn't in a good mood. She said, "An Leilei, you don't need to talk to me like that. I actually know that your grandfather has taken a liking to Qin Hengzhi, but Qin Hengzhi didn't take a liking to you. But you have this good point: you won't be like Cao Lanzhu... who actually chased after her all the way to Jiangcheng."

An Leilei's expression wasn't good, but she still smiled and said, "Qin Hengzhi is excellent in every way. His maternal grandfather is also Old Bai. Isn't it normal for my grandfather to take a liking to him? Besides, Qin Hengzhi is arrogant and proud. We ordinary girls are definitely not good enough for him."

He then added, "I just heard about Cao Lanzhu's situation. She came with the inspection team. I don't know those two people, but I heard that Cao Lanzhu didn't see Qin Hengzhi, and they even said they didn't let her go to the factory."

Lu Min smirked. Cao Lanzhu was either brainless or someone from the Qin family had given her hope.

Anyway, it's none of her business.

No, it's none of her business.

The stepmother got the benefits, but this proud young lady insisted that she be the one to receive her.

It's so annoying.

Hopefully, those two people can really persuade her to stop.

Thinking of this, Lu Min said, "Actually, I don't really like you."

An Leilei smiled and said, "I know."

You look a little different today.

"Something happened to me today that has made me feel a lot."

Lu Min carefully examined An Leilei. They were from the same circle, and she actually envied An Leilei. She was the darling of the An family, and her family treated her well.

An Leilei used to be very arrogant, but not today; she seems to have become more peaceful.

She didn't bother to ask why, and said, "I learned something from Cao Lanzhu this afternoon. I didn't want to tell you, but I just heard you telling someone that you're waiting for Lu Qiaoge, so I thought I'd tell you anyway."

Even though she couldn't figure out why An Leilei would stand at the door waiting for Lu Qiaoge despite the heat.

How did she and Lu Qiaoge meet?
But she still said, "You probably don't know yet, but Qin Hengzhi has a girlfriend at the military factory named Lu Qiaoge. He's bringing her to the dance today. When Cao Lanzhu found out, she went crazy and ran to find my stepmother."

So, I unfortunately ended up accompanying her to the Cultural Palace. Judging from her expression, she doesn't seem willing to let this go. Speaking of Qin Hengzhi, he's quite the ladies' man. Lu Qiaoge's troubles with him are just beginning. I heard Cao Lanzhu brag about it, saying that Qin Hengzhi's grandmother really likes her, and sooner or later she'll marry Qin Hengzhi…”

Without even glancing at An Leilei's changed expression, he pointed into the distance and said, "Look, Qin Hengzhi is here with Lu Qiaoge!"
