Chapter 195: Can they afford new clothes?
Lu Qiao lent 100 yuan to Lu Lu Lu Qiaoling.
Lu Lu Qiaoling happily promised Lu Qiao to pay her back 10 yuan every month.
Su Hui said her belly would soon get big, so she wouldn't buy clothes.
And raising a child also requires money.
Lu Zhiguo whispered to his wife, "Qiao and Lu Lu Qiaoling will definitely buy new clothes, and I want to buy one for you too."
Su Hui shook her head, "Our family having today is all thanks to Qiao; I plan to buy clothes for Qiao."
Lu Zhiguo scratched his head and still said to her, "If you buy for Qiao, shouldn't you buy for Lu Lu Qiaoling? Besides, there's our grandma and our mom."
Su Hui was also worried, "It would be great if the exhibition were held in two months; then we could save more."
In the end, it's still about not having money.
During dinner, Meng Xia specifically told the Lu family.
"Your dad, me, and your grandma don't need you to worry about us. And I want to say a few words: except for Qiao, I know how much money you have better than you do yourselves. Act according to your ability, don't compare with others. And Qiao said, the exhibition won't be held just this once; there will be another next year."
And at this time, Lu Qiao was still working overtime.
The exhibition starts tomorrow.
These team members and those who came to help had to check the venue one last time.
Zhen Xi's secretary came over and said to Team Leader Xu, "Our President Zhen has prepared a batch of cost-price clothes for you team members. We know you emphasize not taking a single needle or thread from the masses, but this is a token of our President Zhen's heart, and we hope everyone can accept it."
Team Leader Xu smiled and said, "We appreciate President Zhen's kindness, but this event is not just organized by our team members; countless comrades up and down are busy for this, so we really cannot take the low-priced clothing."
Lu Qiao added on the side, "The number of people coming to participate in the exhibition this time exceeds expectations; you will have plenty to be busy with tomorrow."
The secretary also smiled modestly, "Being busy is good, being busy is good."
Actually, he had no bottom in his heart. Coming here for the first time, he felt their mental state was good, and each one walked with wind.
But what they wore was really too ordinary.
People wearing patched clothes actually accounted for the majority.
Can people like this afford new clothes?
He expressed doubt about this.
It's just that he could only keep these words in his heart. Anyway, the contract also specifies that if it can't be sold, the organizer is fully responsible.
Looking at these busy people, he thought, with this ordinary appearance, how much money can they have in their pockets? If it really can't be sold, what will they use to be responsible?
And at this time in Hong Kong.
In a villa located halfway up the mountain, although it can't be called brightly lit, it is nestled in the green trees and forests, and the twinkling lights make it look like a pavilion in the air.
This is Chairman Zhen Zihao's manor in Hong Kong.
The manor is very large, but there is currently no hostess.
However, Secretary Xue lives here.
At this time, Secretary Xue looked deeply at Zhen Mingze, who was following the Chairman towards the study, curled her lips, and said slowly to the butler beside her, "The Master and the eldest young master have important matters to discuss. After sending the pastries and tea, don't go to disturb them again."
The butler respectfully agreed and then went to make arrangements.
Secretary Xue walked towards her room.
She was thinking, what is Zhen Mingze coming to talk to the Chairman about at this time?
In her view, it should be that ridiculous exhibition.
It's not like she hasn't been to the mainland.
Last month, following the Chairman, she took a big tour.
It was actually not even as good as the countryside of Hong Kong.
Especially since they are selling clothes this time.
It's really too ridiculous.
The clothes worn by those gray-faced people are all patched; where would they get the money to buy new clothes?
And the clothing this time was specially designed and urgently processed,
not the clothing styles sold to Europe and America.
This also means that if not a single piece is sold, then all the losses will have to be borne by the mainlanders.
Although Zhen Xi doesn't seem to have any losses, he will become a joke.
A bamboo basket drawing water—all in vain; a month of busy work for nothing.
It's a pity he still swore to the Chairman that he could earn how much money.
He only went to the mainland once, yet he dared to do business there again and again.
What a fool!
How could someone as smart as Lin Manyun give birth to such a stupid son?
Afterwards, Secretary Xue sighed lightly again.
Is Lin Manyun smart?
Maybe.
But these have nothing to do with her.
Just wait and see the joke.
And at this time, in the study, the father and son were talking.
The two of them were also talking about this exhibition, but it was other content.
"Dad, do you think someone contacted Zhen Xi?"
Zhen Zihao sat in the chair with a deep gaze, recalling the last time he returned empty-handed, "I just returned from the mainland. You still don't understand their management system. They have very strict control over contact with the outside world. To contact Zhen Xi, without the approval of the leaders above, even a phone call cannot be made to him, let alone other contact methods."
"Then, for no reason, why hold an exhibition?"
Speaking of this, Zhen Mingze's expression changed, "Father, when you took the third brother to the military factory last time, did the third brother know a small factory director of a food factory named Lu Qiao? I heard that this time it was initiated by her."
"What do you mean?"
"Could this Lu Qiao be the contact person?"
Zhen Zihao has a very good memory. Although he hasn't had direct contact with Lu Qiao, he still has some impression of Lu Qiao.
"Being able to work in a military factory, the background is very clean."
"But I think this Lu Qiao is very suspicious. According to what you said, the people on the opposite side are very subtle, but this Lu Qiao's style is completely different from them. Father, my intuition tells me that Lu Qiao might have a relationship with that batch of heavy equipment."
Zhen Zihao was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a melancholy expression, "That Yuan blue and white porcelain... it's no exaggeration to say it's priceless."
A flash of light passed through Zhen Mingze's eyes.
Everyone knows this is a treasure!
"Your third brother's maternal grandfather was a curator. It was very chaotic at the time, and several forces coveted the museum collection. However, before the change, a large part had already been transported there. Unexpectedly, the museum caught fire that night. Fortunately, your third brother's maternal grandfather had already transferred the treasures and sent loyal subordinates to look after them. Unfortunately, he was harmed by someone and ended up in such a miserable situation, which is also sigh-inducing."
Zhen Zihao looked meaningfully at his eldest son, Zhen Mingze.
"I let your third brother be the heir, but I gave the real estate and mines to you. Your third brother does nothing, guarding this industry, and with the title of heir, he can also spend his life safely."
Zhen Mingze said on his lips, "Yes, Father went to great pains for the third brother, but I don't know if the third brother can understand you."
Zhen Mingze sneered in his heart.
It sounds nice, but actually, the old man is eyeing the batch of treasures hidden by the third brother's maternal grandfather, which is why he let him be the heir and took him to the mainland to fish. Unfortunately, no one came to contact him... ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
