Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, not expecting it to be like this.

She thought that her mother had dated someone when she was young and then dumped him.

This isn't just something she made up; given her mother's personality, she really is capable of doing something like this.

In her memory, when she was a child, she overheard her father going through her mother's old stories late at night. He listed all the men her mother had dated back then, and in the end, he couldn't even count them all on his fingers.

Basically, all the men her mother dated when she was young were men she got tired of and didn't like anymore, so she dumped them without hesitation, no matter how much they cried and begged to get back together.

Sometimes, you can just find any excuse to get rid of someone. The excuses for breaking up are even more varied, such as the other person being a year older than last year, the other person being too clingy, or the other person eating too fast...

Because of this, her father was terrified, always feeling that her mother would find some bizarre reason to abandon him at any moment.

Xu Sui then thought of something else and asked:

"Mom, did Chief Hong... recognize you?"

Wang Yinhua thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"I don't think so. I recognized him and quickly picked up Yao Yao and left. He probably didn't even notice me."

"After that, I never went down that road again, and I rarely went out. I never saw him again. Later, I moved to the office in the textile factory, so it was even more impossible for me to see him again."

Twenty or thirty years have passed, and what happened back then is just a minor incident; the other party has probably long forgotten about it.

Moreover, Hong Tianming was going on blind dates at the time, and during that period, his children were probably about the same age as Sui Sui and Xiao Fei.

There's no need to bring this up again. He probably already has a wife and children. If others find out, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Wang Yinhua really dislikes trouble, and the reason she moved all the way from her hometown here was for work, not for anything else.

Therefore, ever since she ran into Hung Tin-ming in the military, she has tried to avoid him.

Xu Sui saw through Wang Yinhua's thoughts, and after thinking about it, she agreed.

Although she was also unaware of Chief Hong's family situation.

But a man of Chief Hong's age must already have a wife and children.

Her mother was a widow, and as the saying goes, there's always gossip around a widow's door. And these days, the crackdown on misconduct is very strict.

If others find out about this, who knows what kind of stories they'll make up about it.

So Xu Sui didn't bring up the matter again, but changed the subject and started talking about other things.

……

After spending some time at the textile factory and learning about the current situation there, Xu Sui went directly to the Nanshan County Garment Factory.

She didn't go empty-handed; instead, she drove the same large truck she had come in, loading a large quantity of fabric from the textile factory onto the truck.

Then they drove there openly with a large truckload of goods.

Before going, Xu Sui made a special phone call to Liu Guangde of the garment factory.

Liu Guangde was the factory manager of the garment factory; he was a chubby old man.

Although he's not a great person—he likes to use his connections to get things done, cultivating most of the factory positions to his own people, and sometimes he likes to take kickbacks—he can also be quite loyal at other times.

When the machine factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, it couldn't even pay its workers' wages.

Factory Director Hao asked many people for help, but as soon as they heard that it was about borrowing money, his old friends who were usually on good terms with him all ran away.

Only Liu Guangde from this garment factory voluntarily lent 1,000 yuan to the machinery factory, relieving the factory's urgent crisis.

Soon.

Xu Sui's truck had just stopped at the gate of the garment factory.

A plump old man came out right behind him. When Liu Guangde saw that the person driving the truck was Xu Sui himself, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Those who can drive large trucks are all skilled people and are in high demand. For example, an ordinary truck driver in their factory can earn at least 40 or 50 yuan a month, which is one or two times higher than that of an ordinary workshop worker.

Moreover, this is just the basic salary, not including the extra money or side jobs that some people make.

However, the fact that Xu Sui can drive a large truck is not a big deal compared to the fact that she has already done business with foreigners at a young age, earned foreign exchange, and even established connections with the military.

"Oh, Director Xu, it's been a long time. What brings you here today? It's a rare treat. Usually, it's just a few of us old guys going to you to learn from your experience."

"Aside from the time you borrowed money, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to come to this old man's door."

"But your machine factory is developing so rapidly these days, you're probably making so much money you can't keep up with the profits. You're not here to borrow money from our small factory, are you?"

Liu Guangde greatly admired Xu Sui, but he was also quite afraid of her.

For no other reason than that these old guys had all been swindled by Xu Sui before.

Although so much money was lent out, all of it was eventually recovered.

But this has also caused him to get a headache every time he sees Xu Sui.

Upon learning that Xu Sui was coming, Liu Guangde was extremely unwilling and did not want to see her at all.

But Xu Sui is different now.

He really doesn't dare to offend this person casually now; even if he doesn't want to see him, he has to bite the bullet and meet him.

Xu Sui opened the truck door, got out of the front passenger seat with clean and efficient movements, and sighed.

"Uncle Liu, look at you, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I'm that kind of person? You've known me for so long, have I ever failed to keep my word?"

"I'm not here to borrow money from you, I'm here to do business with you."

"I remember that your garment factory has helped our machinery factory more than once, allowing us to overcome difficulties together. That's why I think of your factory as soon as I have something good to say."

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to your office. Don't worry, you won't lose out on this deal. I guarantee your factory will make a fortune."

As Xu Sui spoke, she kept an eye on Liu Guangde's expression. Soon, she sensed Liu Guangde's interest and changed the subject.

"Of course, if you're not willing, then forget it. I'll find someone else. There's always someone else who's willing to do the business you're not willing to do."

After saying that, Xu Sui turned around without hesitation and climbed back into the driver's seat of the truck, seemingly intending to leave.

She had just climbed up when Liu Guangde, in a hurry, called her back, disregarding his pride, and immediately became much more enthusiastic.

"No, no, no, Director Xu, let's talk this out. Let's go to the office and I'll personally brew you a pot of good tea."

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that even though Xu Sui was young, her skills were better than theirs.

……

Meanwhile, in the troop commander's office.

"Has the person still not been found?"

"No, sir, there doesn't seem to be anyone like that in the military family compound. Are you... mistaken?"
