Chapter 834

Lu Qiaoge continued to walk forward and found that it wasn't just Luo Xinghua; the student named Zhang Aiguo also had the same keen sense of smell.

Zhang Aiguo's mind turned fast, and his sense of smell was as keen as a hound's.

He was squatting by the conveyor belt, checking the packaging seal while whispering to the worker next to him: "... I think this instant noodle factory can still expand. It's not just the branch factory; we can engage in joint operations, and we can even spread the production lines to the Third Front. As long as the quality is well-controlled, becoming the largest in the Long Kingdom is definitely not a dream."

Lu Qiaoge listened and nodded inwardly. This first batch of college students was indeed capable.

Although she was not the factory manager in name, and not even a deputy of the branch factory, everyone knew that this Lu Qiaoge from Jiangcheng had a certain invisible right to speak.

When she wasn't there, everyone worked as they should; when she arrived, even Factory Manager Min had to revolve around her. This subtle magnetic field made everyone believe in her subconsciously.

Returning to the office, Lu Qiaoge said to Old Min: "Old Factory Manager Min, I want to ask you about someone."

Old Min smiled and said: "Who do you want to ask about? As long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Lu Qiaoge sipped her hot tea and said slowly: "I want to learn about Factory Manager Zhao of the Fifth Textile Factory."

Old Min's eyes lit up; he knew Lu Qiaoge's plan.

When Lu Qiaoge came to him, she often liked to talk to Old Min about what she was going to do next.

So he asked hurriedly: "Do you also want to convert the Fifth Textile Factory into a sweater factory?"

Lu Qiaoge really didn't know about this.

She was puzzled; obviously, this had nothing to do with what she was going to ask.

The reason it was placed in Jiangcheng was because that was her territory.

As for Beidu, it was much more difficult to handle.

The conversion was already difficult, and Lu Qiaoge was not willing to make things harder for herself.

So she asked Old Min curiously: "Factory Manager Min, what do you mean by that? Is the Fifth Textile Factory not good?"

In a big city like Beidu, the fifth textile factory built should be quite good.

Old Min shook his head and said: "Factory Manager Zhao and I have a good personal relationship; we were just chatting together two days ago. He knows about you, Qiao Ge, and I don't know how, but he also heard that you are preparing to return to Jiangcheng to build a sweater factory. He told me that if there is a chance, he would like to meet you.

He wants to convert the Fifth Textile Factory into a sweater factory. He also said that Jiangcheng has Jiangcheng's geographical convenience, but Beidu also has Beidu's convenience. You are studying in Beidu, wouldn't it be more convenient to manage? And you can also see the results more intuitively."

Old Zhao's original words were: "Why go far away? There are so many textile factories in Beidu; to tell you the truth, not to mention the cities below, just in Beidu, half of the textile factories are facing difficulties."

This was different from when it was built.

Now the country is gradually becoming stronger, and the corresponding population is increasing; in fact, textile factories should be sunrise enterprises under these circumstances.

But the problem now is not just raw materials, but the machinery and equipment, which are gradually aging, and without foreign exchange quotas, you simply cannot buy advanced equipment. The current output cannot be increased, and the number of workers is increasing, especially the retired workers in the factory, which is a great burden for the enterprise.

If it is really converted into a sweater factory, raw materials and sales channels can all be solved.

Factory Manager Min added: "Old Zhao told me that their factory really has a batch of machines. At that time, they wanted to build a workshop for producing sweaters, but it was shelved for various reasons, and the machinery and equipment are now in the warehouse. Fortunately, the old factory manager and he both value this batch of equipment, and it is maintained quite well."

This was something Lu Qiaoge had not expected.

Actually, this was not what she was asking about.

She wanted to ask about Factory Manager Zhao's private affairs.

Lu Qiaoge looked at Factory Manager Min with some embarrassment.

Old Min had dealt with Lu Qiaoge many times, so he naturally understood immediately that what she said was not what she wanted to know.

So Old Min asked curiously: "Qiao Ge, what do you want to know?"

Lu Qiaoge said: "That, Factory Manager Min, I have some private matters..."

She did not hide it from Factory Manager Min and told Old Min about the little girl Zhao Xiaojing she saw looking for her parents, and how she had now placed her in the Yuhong Academy near the National Security University.

Old Min was stunned: "This is too coincidental. Old Zhao is still diligent in his work, but his private life is not good, especially in the past year, his wife's health has become worse and worse."

Zhao Zhigang was sentenced to life imprisonment, so there was no hope for him.

And even if he performed well and it was changed to a fixed-term sentence, could the two of them wait for that day?

These two people only had this one child.

So what did he hear now?

That kid Zhigang actually got married in the place where he was sent down, and had a girl, who is twelve years old this year. The child was fostered at a villager's house. That family was not good to her, and now she secretly ran out to find her parents.

"This, this, this... where to start?" Old Min was also confused: "I have never heard that kid Zhigang say he had a wife! If it weren't for the accident, he would have married that woman long ago, and maybe they would have had children. This is truly a bastard."

In the current situation, Old Min was embarrassed to ask Lu Qiaoge what Zhao Zhigang's former wife's name was and where she lived.

If Zhao Zhigang had a heart, he should have said it when he came back; after all, he didn't marry a country girl, but a Beidu educated youth.

Now, really, no one knows what happened to these two people; anyway, Old Zhao knows nothing about this.

When he went to the countryside, Zhao Zhigang seemed to be seventeen, so he probably got married the following year?!

"Qiao Ge, let me sort this out."

After a long while, Old Min said: "Qiao Ge, what do you think should be done?"

If this couple knew there was such a child, they would probably be quite happy, especially the wife; should she be able to reignite her enthusiasm for life?

But this is hard to say.

Lu Qiaoge said: "Let's do this, Factory Manager Min, you go with me to the Fifth Textile Factory, and we will talk to Factory Manager Zhao about this in person. Mainly, this involves going to the prison to find Zhao Zhigang to understand the situation of that year. It cannot be whatever the little girl says just because she says it."

So Lu Qiaoge drove Old Min to the Fifth Textile Factory, and very smoothly met Factory Manager Zhao who had just come out of a meeting.

Factory Manager Zhao was also very enthusiastic when he saw Old Min, greeted them into the office, and then knew that this person was Lu Qiaoge, he was even more enthusiastic.

His eyes were full of expectation, and he said to Lu Qiaoge: "I heard that you are running a sweater factory in Jiangcheng; do you want to inspect our factory?"

Lu Qiaoge also smiled and said: "If Factory Manager Zhao has this idea, we can really talk about it. But now, I have other things to talk about with Factory Manager Zhao."
