Chapter 811 Never Forget the Well-Digger When You Drink Water

After a lively visit to the neighborhood office, Lu Qiaoge immediately headed to the instant noodle factory.

Next to the instant noodle factory was an arts and crafts factory. Lu Qiaoge knew these two factories well; as long as she had orders, she could make money as soon as the machines started running.

Ensuring quality and quantity is fundamental, but most importantly, you need a stable customer base.

Zhen Xi, Chu He, and Luo Ziwen—these names flashed through her mind.

Zhen Xi initially started doing business with Lu Qiaoge because Lu Qiaoge had saved his life. But over the past two years, Zhen Xi had become acutely aware that as long as he cooperated with Lu Qiaoge, he would never lose money. This trust was even more solid than the life-saving grace.

Luo Ziwen and Zhen Meili are still legally married, but they have actually been separated for a long time.

In truth, it was Luo Ziwen who caused the trouble.

For a time, he hired a female secretary.

The girl came from this area. Although it's not the same region as Luo Ziwen's hometown, it's not far away.

Luo Ziwen had no other idea at the time; he just wanted his secretary to help him get in touch with Su Lan and his son so that it would be easier to communicate.

Who would have thought that rumors would start circulating, and the words spoken were quite harsh, until Zhen Meili overheard them.

The person who filed the complaint said that the female secretary was Luo Ziwen's mistress.

Zhen Meili was also a formidable character; one night, she arranged for someone to arrest the female secretary.

Fortunately, Luo Ziwen had taken precautions and assigned bodyguards to his female secretary. Before Zhen Meili could do anything too outrageous, she was rescued.

In Hong Kong during the 1970s, such things were often ignored.

Later, the female secretary resigned and went abroad with her family.

Luo Ziwen provided a sum of money to settle the matter, and that was the end of it.

However, after this experience, Luo Ziwen was no longer willing to make do with Zhen Meili.

But he wasn't in a hurry to get a divorce, since Su-lan and her son were living quite well at the military factory.

Before he could sort things out with Zhen Meili, he gave up on the idea of ​​sending the mother and son to the United States or bringing them to Hong Kong.

Therefore, maintaining a good relationship with Lu Qiaoge became especially important, as it was a crucial asset for him in mainland China.

As for Chu He, he is Qin Hengzhi's man. Lu Qiaoge can rest assured when cooperating with him.

Lu Qiaoge knew in her heart that one must be strong to succeed. If one's own skills were lacking, it would be like trying to plaster mud on a wall.

Instant noodle factories are still focused on improving production levels, with dedicated laboratories monitoring the noodle's elasticity and the aroma of the ingredients.

The factory didn't develop any fancy additional products; they just focused on instant noodles and perfected that one product, which was better than anything else.

It's not easy to operate a crafts factory on a large scale, but maintaining it and supporting the workers is not a problem at all.

Although Lu Qiaoge was no longer in charge of the two factories, as soon as she stepped into the factory gate, Meng Qingshan, Sister Zhao, Zhou Li, Lin Junan, Fan Xiaoyu, and Zhao Xiaoman saw her, it was as if they had seen a long-lost relative.

She was surrounded by everyone as they went to the instant noodle factory's conference room.

"I just came back to see you all, so don't make it so formal." Lu Qiaoge waved her hand with a smile. "We can talk about work. Look, I brought some melon seeds, peanuts, and candy. Let's eat them and talk."

That's what they said, but Meng Qingshan is now the factory director, and he keeps in mind the principle of not forgetting the well-digger when drinking water, so he still reports his work to her seriously.

The instant noodle factory nowadays really can't do without Lu Qiaoge. If she weren't at the helm, who knows what kind of "arrangements" the factory would have made for it.

After a year's work summary, production increased by more than ten percentage points compared to last year, resulting in increased profits. Cost control was also handled very well.

Lin Jun'an remained the same as ever, taciturn, yet the confidence in his eyes was undeniable. In any case, upon Lu Qiaoge's return, she saw only positive and uplifting faces and heard countless stories of thriving success.

Those unpleasant or difficult issues were not mentioned to her. Those that could be resolved quietly were resolved on their own, and those that could not be resolved were simply endured for the sake of the greater good.

More importantly, we must not cause trouble for Qiao Ge.

Lu Qiaoge didn't insist on intervening; she just let things take their course.

Actually, Xiangyang Food Factory has had a smooth run from start to finish.

Otherwise, how could things have gone so smoothly?

After leaving the instant noodle factory, she went to the sanitary napkin factory. This factory only produced enough products to supply Jiangcheng, but the market demand was actually much greater.

Unfortunately, the advanced production lines have to be imported from abroad.

Lu Qiaoge wasn't in a hurry; she knew she would soon be able to legitimately purchase the equipment.

If we can solve a problem on our own, we'll tackle it first; if we can't solve it, we'll temporarily seek help from outside sources.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time; you can't rush it.

Before she could even visit Sun Qin's old friends, Sun Qin and the others came to see her first.

Everyone is doing well; both their lives and their mental outlook are showing an upward spirit.

Once all these matters were settled, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qiaoge took some time to go to the local area and met with Lao Xu, who had been promoted.

Now we should call him Leader Xu.

When Director Xu saw her, he was incredibly enthusiastic. He had been waiting for her to come to his door, knowing she was coming back.

In the office, sunflower seeds, peanuts, candies, and pastries were all neatly prepared.

Lu Qiaoge also brought him a gift, which she placed on the sofa. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Qiaoge got straight to the point and mentioned two things.

She didn't mention the wool sweater factory first; instead, she talked about buying wild game and transporting it to the State Administration of Foreign Trade in Beijing.

She has already completed the relevant procedures.

Xiangyang's purchasing points have some that she can allocate, but the rest need to be supported by local authorities.

Leader Xu immediately understood that the so-called support was actually Lu Qiaoge working to improve the lives of ordinary people.

He already knew that Lu Qiaoge had a large purchasing station in Guzitun Brigade, where he bought mountain products year-round.

That place has dedicated buildings and large warehouses.

Having money makes things easier.

Even if they can't be sold or used for a while, as long as they are stored properly, there won't be any problems.

And indeed it was so. The warehouse was well-built and well-managed; you couldn't find a single mouse.

As long as it is kept dry and undamaged, anything received can be properly preserved.

Many people went to learn from the experience, but strangely enough, the rats were still there. So some people talked privately, wondering if there was an Elvis living near the warehouse.

Leader Xu chuckled and then said, "Qiao Ge, you might not know this, but a while ago, we reached a cooperation agreement with a supply and marketing cooperative in Guangcheng to purchase a large quantity of mountain products. But then, they suddenly backed out, saying that their superiors wouldn't approve it, that they didn't have any plans in that area, and that they would only buy local products. There wasn't even a proper contract, just a verbal agreement. Our team was having a meeting, and we were really worried about how to sell all this stock. This is perfect, it's like a timely rain!"
