Chapter 187: Why are you the only one so disgusted?

~8 min read 1,494 words

Thus, Lu Qiao and Hu Ze left the finance office nimbly.

But Lu Qiao stood at the door and didn't leave, continuing to say to Hu Ze: "... I didn't return to the office, I was just preparing to reconcile it again. In case it was wrong, the people in the finance office would be unhappy again."

"When I went to get the fountain pen ink, a fly landed on the ticket from the 20th, so I used a fly swatter to swat the fly to death. I never thought it was a mother fly, and its belly was full of maggots..."

"Ugh, ugh..."

Engineer Liu Jing couldn't hold it anymore, covering her mouth as if she was going to vomit.

She looked at Lu Qiao hatefully, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Lu Qiao didn't care how others felt, just sneered: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so don't blame me!"

"There are so many people in the finance office, why are you the only one so disgusted? Did you eat the tickets to frame me? If so, is it dead without proof?"

Everyone looked at Lu Qiao and Engineer Liu Jing, who was covering her mouth.

What else was there not to understand?

Engineer Liu Jing felt a wave of nausea and had to cover her mouth and run out of the finance office. Looking at the direction, it should be the public restroom.

Accountant Shen slapped the table: "Lu Qiao, your food factory's tickets are either bird poop or fly maggots. What do you mean by this? Who would dare to reconcile accounts with you in the finance office in the future?"

Inside and outside the room, it was quiet again.

Huang Juan gave Lu Qiao a wink, telling her not to conflict with Accountant Shen.

But she was also very dissatisfied inside.

Just now, Engineer Liu Jing was jumping up and down, and she didn't see her criticize her a single bit, but now she was talking.

Although there was nothing wrong with favoring people in her own office, if she could have said more useful things on weekdays, Engineer Liu Jing wouldn't have been so bold as to destroy the tickets.

Looking at the big from the small, what if it were something more important that couldn't be made up for?

Lu Qiao wasn't angry and didn't argue, but smiled: "Accountant Shen, the bird poop one was true, but it's also a Chinese herbal medicine called 'White Clove'. Hu Ze handled it cleanly at the time, so it wouldn't matter even if it was accidentally eaten. But the fly maggot one was something I made up. You shouldn't take it seriously!"

Accountant Shen: "..."

He had always known Lu Qiao was eloquent, and today he had learned his lesson.

Accountant Shen had to soften his tone and said to Lu Qiao: "Director Hu also emphasized just now that both of you said your own reasons, but there was no third person in the finance office at the time, so there's no way to prove it. Maybe you lied, maybe Engineer Liu Jing lied. Director Hu is right; fortunately, it didn't cause irreparable losses. Pay attention in the future, especially since you are still the acting factory director of the food factory. Your corn cakes are very popular, not to mention you have foreign trade orders. Be cautious about money in the future."

Lu Qiao didn't argue, smiled and agreed, and then this matter... was temporarily over.

However, Engineer Liu Jing asked for sick leave.

So everyone knew what was going on.

Lu Qiao found Sister Su and talked about her idea of exchanging grain. Sister Su was shocked when she heard it.

Can it be operated like this?

If it could really be done, this would be a great merit.

Of course, the premise was that it was approved above.

Lu Qiao said: "Let's go to the foreign trade section first. I have the business card Zhen Xi gave me, which has a phone number on it. Let's go contact Zhen Xi first."

Sister Su nodded without any hesitation: "Okay, I'll tell the leader and then we'll go."

Anyway, they were going to the foreign trade section, and whether it succeeded or not was up to them.

District leader Zhou, the receptionist of the foreign trade section, was very welcoming when he saw Lu Qiao and took the initiative to ask what she was here for.

Lu Qiao said her plans and also told Director Zhou that the application report had been submitted, and it was estimated that there would be a reply in a few days.

Director Zhou was shocked and didn't hold back, saying directly to Lu Qiao: "It's such a coincidence. Mr. Zhen Xi called yesterday and said a friend asked if he could cooperate with us. I asked what to cooperate on, and Zhen Xi said his friend is a clothing company owner. He said clothing trade should be the least controversial at the moment. However, Zhen Xi is straightforward and told me directly that the other party's clothing is all backlog and unsalable goods. The clothing factory is in Hong Kong, and they don't want to go too far, thinking we are very backward here and should be able to eat up those clothes. Zhen Xi said he was just the middleman, and it's up to us whether we want it or not."

Lu Qiao and Sister Su looked at each other.

Sister Su said: "Lu Lu Qiaoge, why don't you consult by phone first?"

Thus, Lu Qiao called Zhen Xi.

Making phone calls now, especially this kind of phone call, requires a special place and special personnel to accompany.

And there were no mobile phones now, basically all landlines, even in Hong Kong.

Director Zhou glanced at the business card, and it was the same as the one given to him.

Not only the company but also the residence.

Jiangcheng had also opened international long-distance, but it wasn't for civilian use yet. Even at the post office, you couldn't make them now; you could only do it in special departments.

For example, the reception office of the foreign trade section.

It was unexpected that Zhen Xi was actually in the company.

After some pleasantries, Lu Qiao stated her purpose and plans.

Zhen Xi on the other side was quite surprised and had no interest. However, Lu Qiao could always grasp the key points. She first mentioned his older brother, Zhen Mingze.

Thus, Zhen Xi immediately became spirited.

"... As far as we know, General Manager Zhen, that is your older brother, has now entered the real estate industry and has already controlled one-third of the market share. According to the current population growth, even if you don't build houses, speculating on land is a huge profit."

"But our ancestors said, clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Clothing is ranked first, and housing is ranked third. People can only think about where to live if they have clothes to wear and food to eat. From this, it can be seen how important clothing is."

"General Manager Zhen, your department store is famous in Hong Kong, which is an enviable prerequisite. If you are interested in the suggestion I made that day, you can try it. I can promise here that Mr. Zhen's clothing will have all priority rights. Whatever conditions you have, just mention them."

Zhen Xi on the other end of the phone fell into silence.

He still didn't understand why his father made him the successor but gave the real estate to his older brother!

Could it be that he could inherit Zhen Mingze's real estate after inheriting the family business? ===== CHAPTER 188 =====

Zhen Xi said, "Understood."

The Zhen Group's main business is construction materials, minerals, energy, etc. Clothing is not their main business, but they do have large department stores, and naturally, there is clothing inside, ranging from high to low-end.

However, these are all managed by his eldest brother.

As for him, after being taken to the mainland for a tour, the old man became cold toward him upon his return.

He doesn't want to think about the reason, because as soon as he thinks about it, he becomes irritable and gets a splitting headache.

After wandering around here, he discovered that compared to the people here, his own life is simply like heaven.

Therefore, he is actually very calm now. After thinking for a moment, he spoke to Lu Qiao about the clothing market in Hong Kong.

There are many clothing companies in Hong Kong, and most of them sell to foreign countries.

So the competition is also very fierce.

After hearing about the situation of several companies from Zhen Xi, Lu Qiao had a bottom line in her heart.

After thanking Zhen Xi, Lu Qiao hung up the phone.

This phone bill is quite expensive.

Nowadays, it's a two-way charge; both sides have to pay...
