Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Chapter 245

"Deputy Director Jiang."

"Gu Nuan, what are you doing here?"

Gu Nuan's office is on the second floor and the factory director's office is on the third floor.

As soon as Gu Nuan and Lin Shu reached the third floor, they met Deputy Director Jiang coming out of the office.

Deputy Director Jiang focused his attention on Lin Shu. "Who is this? Why does he look familiar to me?"

Gu Nuan tried hard to recall that the two had probably never met before. "Deputy Director Jiang, this is my sister-in-law, my ninth brother's wife. You probably haven't met her."

Lin Shu smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Deputy Director Jiang, my name is Lin Shu, I am the owner of Hongyun Restaurant, you should have seen me when you went to the restaurant for dinner."

Deputy Director Jiang tapped his forehead lightly, then shook her hand and said, "I remember now. Last time when I went to the restaurant for dinner, I think you were at the counter when I paid the bill, and you gave me a discount at that time."

"Yes, Deputy Director Jiang has a good memory. We will need you to take care of our restaurant's business in the future."

"Since you are here, please come in and sit down." Deputy Director Jiang warmly invited them into the office for tea.

Facing such an enthusiastic factory director, Gu Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Deputy Director Jiang, we are going to go find the factory director. Is he in the office?"

"Old Tian?" Deputy Director Jiang glanced at the director's office. "He went to a meeting today and is not in the factory. What do you want to see him about?"

Gu Nuan found that the door of the factory director's office was not closed tightly, so she walked over quickly and asked, "Is he not in?"

It turned out that there was a woman in the office, wiping the table with a rag.

"Who is this?" The new cleaner?

Deputy Director Jiang took two steps forward and took a look at the situation in the office, then explained with a smile, "This is Lao Tian's girlfriend, who came here yesterday."

"The factory director's partner?"

Gu Nuan was quite surprised to hear the news. She looked carefully at the woman in the office. She was pretty, but she seemed to be quite old.

The woman in the office walked to the door and smiled at everyone: "Hello everyone, my name is Qi Xiaoyun, I am the girlfriend of your Director Tian, ​​please take care of me in the future."

"Qi Xiaoyun?"

When Lin Shu heard the voice and the name, he walked out from behind Deputy Director Jiang.

The person who was standing at the door letting them stare at her was the Qi Xiaoyun she knew.

"Sister Xiaoyun, it really is you."

"Lin Shu!"

Qi Xiaoyun also noticed Lin Shu and stepped forward to grab her arm. "Why did you come to the provincial capital? I didn't expect to meet you here. Oh, I remember that your boyfriend seemed to be from the provincial capital."

Lin Shu nodded and hugged her happily: "Gu Jiu is from the provincial capital. I came to the provincial capital not long after I married him. What's wrong with you?"

Talking about her own affairs, Qi Xiaoyun looked at a few people shyly and said, "That's what you saw."

I worked in the countryside for five or six years, and never found a partner in order to return to the city. By the time I returned to the city, I had passed the best age for marriage and had become an old maid.

She and Director Tian met through a relative's introduction. They felt that their personalities were compatible, so they started dating.

"No, did you two know each other before?" Gu Nuan pulled Lin Shu to her side.

Lin Shu smiled and introduced Gu Nuan: "Sister, Sister Xiaoyun once stayed in our village for a few years. We haven't been in touch since returning to the city. I didn't expect to meet her in your factory today."

"Sister Xiaoyun, she is my elder sister Gu Nuan, an employee of the garment factory."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Gu Nuan and Qi Xiaoyun shook hands.

When Deputy Director Jiang saw that everyone knew each other, he invited them to his office for tea.

"Gu Nuan, what are you doing here today? The factory manager is not here now, is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"Since the factory manager is not here, it's the same if I ask you." Gu Nuan told the story again, "Do you think this is feasible? If it is, my sister-in-law wants to sign a contract."

"This is a good thing."

Their factory leaders have been worried about inventory for a while. Now someone has come to help them clear the inventory, and they are so happy.

However, "Comrade Lin Shu, we can give you the fabrics in the warehouse at a clearance price. However, if you want to find our garment factory to do the work, the labor price will still be the original labor price. In other words, the fabrics can be discounted, but the labor price will not be discounted."

Lin Shu nodded and said, "Deputy Director Jiang, I am not a capitalist who exploits workers. The wages will be calculated according to your factory's original wages. I have no objection to this."

Seeing Lin Shu being so straightforward, Deputy Director Jiang thought for a moment and took out a price list from the drawer and handed it to her. "Since you are so easy to talk to, I can't cheat you. This is the price that Lao Tian and I have discussed. It has not been announced yet. Take a look."

Lin Shu took the price list, scanned the prices, looked up at Deputy Director Jiang, and said with a smile: "You guys really know how to play, you like to dangle a carrot in front of people to whet their appetite."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang: "We offer discounts for large quantities. I hope you can understand. Our factory has no other choice. If there is no reward mechanism, how can you be motivated?"

Lin Shu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you won't be disappointed if you cooperate with me. I just hope you won't let me down on the details of workmanship."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang assured: "Please rest assured that the sewing workers in our workshop are all skilled workers. They will never sew a straight line at an angle, and they will never sew an arc in a straight line. Moreover, there are quality inspectors at the last checkpoint of the finished product, and defective products will not leave the workshop."

At this moment, he finally felt that he was right to invite the dinner a few days ago, because Gu Jiu helped him find a solution.

The two discussed the details of the cooperation, and after reaching an agreement that satisfied both parties, they asked Gu Nuan to write it down.

"I'll have someone draft the contract and have Gu Nuan send it to your house tomorrow for you to sign."

Lin Shu waved his hand. "No, I will come again tomorrow morning and bring a few design drawings. If your workshop can spare a few sets, we can start cutting tomorrow."

The other party was anxious, and Deputy Director Jiang was even more anxious. With this order, one of their workshops could resume work.

"Just do as you say. Once the contract is officially signed, our factory can immediately free up a workshop for you to produce the style you want."

Lin Shu raised a finger and said seriously, "One last thing, Deputy Director Jiang, I don't want my style to appear in other people's factories or be worn by other people before I launch it on the market."

Deputy Director Jiang repeatedly assured that there would be no problems.

Nothing is absolute, and Lin Shu cannot be completely assured. However, since he has chosen to cooperate with them, he can only trust him for the time being.

When the get off work day ended in the afternoon, Director Tian had not returned to the company yet.

Lin Shu invited Qi Xiaoyun to her home. "Sister Xiaoyun, since Director Tian is busy with work and has no time to accompany you today, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight?"

"This is too much trouble." Qi Xiaoyun was a little tempted, mainly because she wanted to see how Lin Shu was doing now.

Lin Shu pulled her out and said, "It's not a problem. Li Lanqiu is also in the provincial capital. I'll ask her to bring Brother Gan to our house for dinner tonight. We've been separated for two years, so it's a good opportunity to ask her to come over and get together."

"Wait." Qi Xiaoyun picked up the cloth bag on the table and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll go see if your man treats you well. If he doesn't, I won't let him go."

"Okay, go check him out."

The two of them reached the second floor, and Lin Shu turned to the door of Gu Nuan's office and said, "Sister, bring your brother-in-law and the children to my house for dinner tonight."

"Dinner party! Great!"

Gu Nuan glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was time to get off work. She picked up her bag and rushed out of the office. "Let's go. We'll go back now."

Good dinner party.

She had been looking forward to going back to her parents' home for dinner for a long time, especially Lin Shu's home, where the food was better than what she ate during the Chinese New Year.

Every time I go out to eat, it is an opportunity for them to satisfy their cravings.

Li Lina looked at the three people's relaxed and cheerful backs with jealous eyes, "They don't run for performance, they just eat and drink all day long."

"People need to eat to survive. Is there anything wrong with eating and drinking?" Old Chen asked back after hearing her words.

Li Lina rolled her eyes at him, thinking of the three people who left, and asked curiously, "Old Chen, who was the woman among those three people who left just now? I don't think I've seen her before."

"I don't hang out with lesbians, so how would I know?" Old Chen thought for a while and said, "I heard that the factory director's girlfriend has come. Could the other lesbian be the girlfriend of our factory director?"

Li Lina couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "Old Chen, use your brain to think about it. I heard that the factory director's girlfriend is not a local. Where did Gu Nuan go to meet the factory director's girlfriend?"

Lao Chen: "No one can tell. What if they know each other?"

Li Lina snorted unconvincedly: "If Gu Nuan is a friend of the factory director's girlfriend, then I am a relative of the factory director's mother."

"My dear aunt, please don't let the factory manager hear what you said."

Old Chen was startled by her words. He packed up the things on his desk, picked up his bag and left quickly.

Then he talked about the three women in the garment factory.

Lin Shu glanced at Qi Xiaoyun who was riding a bicycle next to him, "Sister Xiaoyun, was this bicycle bought for you by your factory director's girlfriend?"

Without waiting for Qi Xiaoyun to speak, Gu Nuan replied, "The factory director really cares about you. He left his bicycle for you to use when you arrived."

"The factory director's bicycle~" Lin Shu deliberately dragged out the last word.

She also didn't expect that Director Tian, ​​whom she had never met before, had such a thoughtful side.

Qi Xiaoyun smiled shyly: "He was afraid that I would be bored staying in the factory alone, so he thought of leaving his bicycle so that I could go around the provincial capital when I have nothing to do."

Lin Shu controlled the speed of the bicycle and said with a teasing sound, "Tsk, he is so attentive to you, it seems that he is very satisfied with you."

"More than that." Gu Nuan revealed: "Our factory director has been single for many years. Now he finally has a girlfriend who is as beautiful as a flower. If he doesn't spoil her, who will he cry to if his girlfriend runs away?"

"Ha ha......"

Lin Shu couldn't help laughing. She couldn't imagine how a middle-aged man could pamper his wife.

Qi Xiaoyun was so teased by the two that she didn't dare to say anything.

When they reached the intersection, Gu Nuan said goodbye to the two of them. She wanted to go home first to pick up her three children and Hu Renyou.

With only the two of them left, Qi Xiaoyun dared to ask out of curiosity, "Lin Shu, are you living with your in-laws now or have you separated?"

Lin Shu turned around and glanced at Qi Xiaoyun, and comforted her: "Don't be nervous. We live alone now, not with my parents-in-law."

"Oh, it must be quite freeing not having to live with my in-laws."

"Well, you can make your own decisions at home, which gives you a lot more freedom." Lin Shu agreed.

I used to live with my parents-in-law. Although they were open-minded, there were always some conflicts among my sisters-in-law.

Things that are far away smell good, while things that are near smell bad. Even if people live far away from each other, sometimes they can get along well when they get together.

Qi Xiaoyun: "You are right. Even if the house is not big after the family is divided, as long as there is a place to stay, it is our home."

Lin Shu smiled and did not explain her family's current situation.

"Sister Xiaoyun, have you arranged work when you return to the city?"

"I have a job now. I waited for a year after returning to the city before I was assigned the job. I work in our city's cotton mill. If Director Hotan really succeeds in the future, he promised to transfer me to the provincial capital."

Lin Shu nodded after hearing this: "It's not a long-term solution for a couple to live apart. It seems that he cares about you very much."

Qi Xiaoyun was also very satisfied with this. "Although he is a little older, he is a caring man. For educated youth like us who have returned to the city, we are considered older and it is difficult to find a partner in the city. It is fate that I met him."

Lin Shu encouraged him, "Then you should seize the opportunity. If a woman marries the right man, she will be happy for the rest of her life. But if she marries the wrong man, it's like falling into hell."

"Yes, I will. I also want to interact with you more in the future."

"Haha, okay, then you and him should hurry up and get the certificate."

The two of them were talking as they rode their bikes, and soon they stopped in front of a new building.

"Got home."

"Got home?"

Qi Xiaoyun looked at the seven-story building in front of her and didn't know which window belonged to Lin Shu's house.

"Is President Lin back?"

The security guard at the hotel entrance greeted Lin Shu.

"Mr. Lin?" When discussing the contract at the garment factory, Qi Xiaoyun knew that she was doing business.

At this moment, she couldn't understand why the hotel security called her Ms. Lin.

Lin Shu pointed to the hotel sign and smiled: "I own this hotel."

Qi Xiaoyun's eyes widened in shock: "You own this seven-story hotel?"

"It's not as good as the hotels with more than ten floors. I'm just making a small effort."

Qi Xiaoyun put away her shocked expression and looked up at the seven-story building again, "You are too modest."

"Hello, Mr. Lin." The restaurant's doorman greeted her when he saw her.

Meeting Qi Xiaoyun's eyes, Lin Shu curled his lips and said, "My restaurant."

"Mr. Lin, you are here."

When she entered the fruit shop, the clerk called her.

Lin Shu asked the clerk to weigh some fruits for her, then turned to ask Qi Xiaoyun: "Sister Xiaoyun, what kind of fruits do you like to eat?"

Qi Xiaoyun looked at the fruits in the store and asked, "Do I need a ticket to buy fruits here?"

"Need not."

"Oh, then help me weigh a few pounds of apples." Qi Xiaoyun said to the clerk.

Lin Shu signaled the clerk to select some apples and pack them in bags.

Qi Xiaoyun wanted to weigh it, but was stopped by Lin Shu, "Sister Xiaoyun, this is our own store, you don't have to pay."

Qi Xiaoyun suppressed her shock and took out some money from her pocket, "I have to bring some souvenirs when I come to your house as a guest. Don't stop me from buying a few kilograms of apples. Don't be disgusted."

"No need."

"No, it has to be weighed."

The two held their own opinions and the situation became deadlocked.

"What are you doing?"

A deep male voice sounded from behind.

Qi Xiaoyun looked up and held her breath in shock. She recognized the man in front of her. He was Lin Shu's ex-boyfriend.

Of course, he's her man now.

This man always gives you a stunning feeling no matter when you meet him.

After not seeing her for a few years, she is still as young and charming as she was back then. Time never defeats beauty and it seems that it has a special preference for him, leaving no trace at all.

The last time she met Kong Handong, who had worked in Xiaohe Village, the boy had changed a lot and looked ten years older than before.
