Chapter 124: Why did you choose me?

~8 min read 1,406 words

And at this time, Lu Qiao sent Su Hongmei to the main gate.

When she returned, she saw Tao Tao waiting for her on the big tree by the bridge.

Seeing Lu Qiao walk over, Tao Tao told Lu Qiao everything it had seen.

Lu Qiao thought to herself, it seems the Lin family has never given up searching.

Then she heard Tao Tao continue: 【When I went, that Lin Lao was lying on the bed. His son didn't go. When he was alone in the room, I went to the next room. The next room was so fun.】

Lu Qiao became interested and asked: "How fun was it?"

【That chairman from Hong Kong scolded his son for being unenterprising and not worthy of being his successor, and then his son said: Why did you choose me, why did you choose me, why did you choose me...】

Lu Qiao asked with surprise: "Just this one sentence?"

【Mm, repeated many times, and then his dad gave him a slap, and he didn't say it anymore, but he ran to the next room.】

【I heard the chairman talking to himself, why did I choose you? I don't know why I chose you.】

【Seeing he didn't speak, I ran to the next room again, the chairman's son...】

Good heavens, it kept it busy like this?

Lu Qiao interrupted Tao Tao: "His name is Zhen Xi."

Tao Tao was very happy.

Before, it could only talk to its wife about watching the fun; now it's too good, it can tell many, many little friends.

【That man named Zhen Xi has a very irritable temper. He smashed the teacup and flowerpot on the windowsill in the room. While smashing, he said: What else could it be for, for your eldest son! You chose me as successor to stimulate and train him. I was born of a concubine; how am I worthy of being a successor? I'm just your whetstone!】

【After he smashed enough, he took medicine, but I don't know what medicine he took. Anyway, after a while, he wasn't irritable anymore, and gently told the attendant that he accidentally broke the teacup and flowerpot, and he would compensate the hotel.】

Lu Qiao's eyes flashed.

It seems it's not as fatherly and sonly as it looks on the surface.

Actually, she didn't understand either.

Brother Zhendong's health is good, and Qin Hengzhi said his eldest son is also very excellent, even more excellent than Zhen Xi. Because Zhen Xi was born to Brother Zhendong's most favored third wife, he publicly announced last year that Zhen Xi would be his successor.

It is said that when this news came out, Hong Kong seemed to have had an earthquake.

But can such an irritable Zhen Xi, who has to rely on medicine to control his emotions, be a successor?

Is he really a whetstone?

Or is the position of chairman comparable to an imperial throne, requiring such conspiracy and step-by-step caution?

Lu Qiao asked: "And then?"

Tao Tao said: 【Then I flew outside Lin Lao's room. I squatted on the windowsill. He saw me and deliberately lowered his voice.】

Lu Qiao told Tao Tao: "Tao Tao, you've worked hard. Go play; I have to go to the food factory first."

Lu Qiao rode her bicycle to the food factory. Meng Qingshan and others were organizing straw hats.

They didn't talk about the price, but for these people, even one cent is money.

They were really all so excited.

Someone praised Chang An for being clever and dexterous; this straw hat weaving was taught to everyone by Chang An.

Chang An couldn't speak, just smiled honestly.

The people here were all good, and they were all city people, yet no one looked down on him.

People in the military factory are just good.

He likes this place so much.

After Lu Qiao returned, Du Shuang and a few others surrounded her and asked when Su Hongmei would come to get the straw hats.

Lu Qiao said: "I agreed with Comrade Su to come on Monday, because it's inconvenient for the inspection team to come to offer condolences tomorrow morning, and we still have to accept a hygiene review in the afternoon. You all have health certificates, and the next thing is whether our factory's hygiene is up to standard."

Hu Ze said with a smile: "You can check again. I've been to the food factory in the city. Except for the simple conditions, we aren't worse than them."

Lu Qiao turned around. The white coats were all made, waiting for people to come tomorrow to wear them.

Health certificates were all posted on the office wall.

The office was very clean, and the walls were pasted with old newspapers.

The workshop had three flat pans and two iron pans; these were for making corn cakes and shortbread.

The ground was paved with broken bricks and stones, the walls were painted with white lime, and the window frames weren't painted—after all, paint wasn't easy to get now—but they were all wiped clean, and window screens were installed to prevent flies.

Seeing this, Lu Qiao couldn't help but think of that little Cangcang.

She hadn't seen it for a few days either.

Then Lu Qiao remembered the wheelchair she made for Zhang Quan. She had to go to the scrap workshop to take a look; she didn't know if Wei Qiang would remember.

She, a little mediator, is so busy.

At this time, Chang An brought an object similar to a bicycle basket to Lu Qiao.

Without Zhou Li saying anything, Lu Qiao knew this was a bicycle basket made for her.

It was woven from willow branches and reeds.

Lu Qiao immediately let Chang An install the basket for her.

The installation was also very simple, fixed with thin hemp rope.

As long as you don't put especially heavy things in it, it can be used for at least two or three years.

Lu Qiao was very satisfied.

She said with a smile: "Brother Chang, you teach everyone. Who knows, in a few days, someone will come to our service station's handicraft group to customize them."

Lu Qiao was very satisfied with these people. Before leaving, she specifically urged: "Tomorrow morning, part of the inspection team might come to take a look. After all, we are currently the only factory in the Xiang Yang neighborhood office, so everyone must be at their posts tomorrow."

She looked at Zhou Li again.

Zhou Li hurriedly said: "Aunt Li is watching the child for me, and I give her five yuan a month. Xiao Hei can also help. My son is very well-behaved."

Chang An on the side was full of smiles, nodding hard.

Yes, yes, his son is very well-behaved.

The old black cat also understands human nature.

Lu Qiao thought to herself, if he really is Lin Lao's son, it can be considered bitter to sweet.

Lu Qiao couldn't stay long; she ran back to the neighborhood office to report on her work.

What she talked about was Su Hongmei's matter.

Huang Juan was very happy: "Our neighborhood office can open another weaving group besides pasting paper boxes to increase income for everyone."

Lu Qiao nodded: "Sister Su didn't say the price, but I think it should be very reasonable."

Shao Le, who had just returned, leaned toward Lu Qiao and naturally heard fresh news.

He said: "If it's favored by the foreign trade section, can it be exchanged for foreign exchange?"

Old Hu's eyes lit up. Although they were a military factory and had state support, it wouldn't be impossible if they could exchange for foreign exchange.

Thinking about it, it didn't seem that easy.

Why did the neighborhood office's factories disband?

Wasn't it because they overlapped with enterprises run by the nearby district government? The higher-ups felt 516 shouldn't compete with the local area, which easily affected unity, so the neighborhood office's pickle factory failed, and the coal briquette factory was also handed over to the local fuel company.

He said: "Qiao, you mainly focus on the handicraft weaving of the service station. Let's draft a charter. After selling, how much should be handed over to the neighborhood office, and how much should they divide."

Lu Qiao agreed deeply.

Now, trading is not allowed. Even such acquisitions must be unit-based.

If not handled well, it's easy to have big problems. ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
