Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 230 Attack

The Zhen family is not actually a large family.

His family had been farmers for generations, but later encountered a drought, and his great-grandfather and his family fled to Jiangcheng.

My great-grandfather had the opportunity to buy his own shop, and later my grandfather married a concubine's daughter from a prominent family.

This is how the class transition was completed.

Through generations of accumulation, they became a dominant force in the north during times of war.

Especially for Donnie Yen's generation, they thrived after moving to Hong Kong.

Zhen Xi put down her palm-leaf fan, offered no opinion, and glanced at the note written by the man named Chang An. It seemed that it contained not only words but also drawings, and the handwriting was crooked and illegible; almost none of it was legible.

At this moment, both Lao Zhou and Lao Hu looked at Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge didn't intend to invest too much energy in the handicrafts sector, but now it seems to be the safest industry for development.

She said, "As Technician Chang just mentioned, so I won't repeat it here. What I want to say now is that straw weaving is not just about melon seed baskets and palm-leaf fans, but also about other types. We can strive to do our best, but the problem now is that we can't expand the scale rashly. Nowadays, personnel and funds are major issues. I'll take this palm-leaf fan as an example. I think it might meet the standards of Nanyang merchants?"

Zhen Xi felt that Lu Qiaoge was different from many other people here.

She wasn't in a rush to close the deal.

Even though I know this palm-leaf fan is actually quite good, I still ask that question.

Zhen Xi said, "How about this, I've decided to postpone my trip to Beidu by one day, so can we finish the new samples by this time tomorrow?"

Chang An stared wide-eyed with excitement, eager to nod immediately.

But I still held back.

He nodded when Lu Qiaoge looked at him.

Lu Qiaoge said, "That's possible, but the standards should be ours."

Zhen Xi nodded: "Okay!"

Lu Qiaoge added, "Actually, the raw material for straw weaving, Jinjin grass, is also a medicinal herb that can refresh the mind and is very beneficial to the body."

It's not just palm-leaf fans that can be decorated; you can also make the most of the fan pendants.

Various knotted pendants are worth considering.

Although there were no orders, a temporary agreement was still signed.

It's a melon seed basket.

Zhen Xi did not hide anything and said that the order was for goods to merchants in Nanyang.

This time I plan to order 5,000, at a price of 3.8 yuan per unit.

Once the sample passes inspection, the contract will be formally signed.

When he heard the price, Lao Hu felt his breath catch in his throat.

Goodness, the same thing has increased in price by almost seven times.

Isn't that a bit too high? In their eyes, two yuan is already an astronomical price.

However, they knew the rules and could not express any opinions at this time.

Besides, nobody's stupid; isn't it always better to have it as high as possible?

Zhen Xi turned her head and discussed it with her secretary.

The first batch of orders for melon seed baskets will naturally be fulfilled as originally planned.

The price will remain the same.

As for how much Zhen Xi costs, that has nothing to do with us.

Zhen Xi was referring to the fact that the sunflower seed baskets in the second order were somewhat different from the ones they had.

So Lu Qiaoge agreed and said she would bring another sample of the melon seed basket tomorrow as well.

If it meets the requirements, we'll place the order.

Although no formal contract has been signed, everyone knows that given the skill level of the crafts team, there will be absolutely no problem.

Chang An clenched his fists excitedly. Having come from the countryside, he never imagined he would have this day. There's nothing more to say here for now.

We've already discussed the instant noodles pretty much. This production line is quite advanced, a complete process from production to packaging and sealing. The only problem is that the packaging color is a bit ordinary. But that's fine. Lu Qiaoge plans to invite Qin Hengzhi over once the machine arrives so he can help her figure out how to improve it to better suit the current situation.

As for raw materials, Director Hu discussed this with the factory leaders, and Factory Director Hao said that as long as it can generate foreign exchange and increase the military factory's revenue, the factory will definitely provide strong support.

Zhen Xi was also very curious about how Lu Qiaoge could make noodles that tasted better than any other brand of instant noodles.

Just as she was about to get up, Zhen Xi, who had been in a good mood, suddenly felt a nameless anger rising in her heart. She felt that the people and things around her had become hideous, terrifying, and repulsive.

Everyone was looking at him with the kindest and most friendly smiles, but to him, it was incredibly irritating.

And this meeting room—the more I look at it, the angrier I get; I feel like setting it on fire.

His hands gripped the back of the chair.

He knew he was having another episode, but he couldn't control his emotions. At that moment, he seemed to be split into two people.

One is about to destroy himself and the world, while the other is desperately trying to pull the one who is about to destroy himself and the world back.

The secretary's expression changed.

Mr. Zhen rarely has an attack during the day. What should we do?
We can't let the people here see President Zhen's ferocious appearance.

Seeing Zhen Xi's expression, his heart sank.
He hurriedly reached out to support Zhen Xi's arm and immediately took out a medicine bottle from his briefcase.

But Zhen Xi brushed the secretary away.

Lu Qiaoge reacted very quickly. When she saw the veins bulging on the back of Zhen Xi's hand as she gripped the back of the chair and her eyes turning bloodshot, she knew that Zhen Xi was having an attack.

But actually, no one here knows that Zhen Xi has this kind of illness.

Neither Zhen Xi nor Zhen Zihao would allow others to think this was an illness.

No one ever talked about him.

There was a doctor who was supposed to accompany us, but he didn't come today.

Fortunately, Zhenxi's illness never harmed anyone; it mostly harmed himself.

This is a state of conflict between heaven and man.

At this moment, Lu Qiaoge calmly supported Secretary You, who almost fell, and quickly took the pills from Secretary You's hand, crushed them, and put them in a water glass.

At this moment, Lu Qiaoge did not avoid suspicion. She picked up the cup and handed it to Zhen Xi, saying, "Mr. Zhen, are you thirsty or suffering from heatstroke? Sit down and have some water."

Zhen Xi's mind was in a mess, but before he could react, he involuntarily sat down.

Lu Qiaoge stood beside him and quickly pressed down on his shoulder.

Lu Qiaoge gave Secretary You a wink.

The secretary snapped out of her daze and placed the water glass to Zhen Xi's lips.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at the people around her, realizing it was inconvenient to make a move, as most of them were watching them.

She couldn't just force-feed Zhen Xi the medicine.

But if all else fails, just force it in.

Just make up any excuse.

Zhen Xi gritted her teeth, about to knock over the water glass that was next to her mouth.

Lu Qiaoge reacted quickly, grabbing Zhen Xi's shoulder before anyone could react, snatching the cup, and pouring the medicine into Zhen Xi's mouth.

This time, she didn't immediately remove her hand. Since her energy was effective in calming emotions, it was just right for Zhen Xi's condition.

Then she said in a voice that everyone around could hear, "Mr. Zhen has heatstroke, please open the window quickly."

Then he said to the shocked Director Hu and Director Zhou, "You two take people out first. Too many people will make the air stuffy and affect him."

Everyone was startled; some opened windows, while others cleared the area.

Old Hu led his men out, and Director Zhou said anxiously, "I'll call the doctors from the city hospital and have them come right away."
