Chapter 98: Although the young man had a good appearance

Wei Qiang shook his head. Actually, he had already forgotten many things. He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered them.

Perhaps he was really provoked by his own life story?

At this moment, Wei Qiang became curious about his biological father.

But his uncle dismissed him with a single "I've forgotten everything."

But he knew that his biological father was a man of love and righteousness.

When there is an opportunity, he must ask Comrade Xiao Lu about that old man's situation.

Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge had already arrived at the department store. She had come prepared, so she was carrying a basket woven from thin willow twigs, inside which were ten corn cakes wrapped in white cotton cloth.

These were for Mu Dan and the head of the food section.

She went to the hardware section first. Because she was riding a bicycle, Lu Qiaoge was still wearing that same cotton summer outfit.

The girl was beautiful and particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

Mu Dan had a sharp eye, so she naturally spotted Lu Qiaoge at a glance.

Seeing her carrying a vegetable basket, she thought she had come to buy vegetables, but the department store's vegetables were downstairs.

Before she could speak, Lu Qiaoge greeted her with a smile: "Section Chief Mu, I've come to find you about something."

Thus, Mu Dan took Lu Qiaoge to the office behind the counter.

It was also their break room.

Lu Qiaoge didn't see the girl she had met when buying the bicycle that day; she didn't know if she was on break or what.

Since Mu Dan didn't mention it, she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

Lu Qiaoge lifted the cotton cloth of the basket, and a burst of fragrance rushed towards them.

Ten round corn cakes lay in the willow basket.

Because they were made of corn flour, they were exceptionally golden, and because white flour had been mixed in, they looked more delicate than ordinary steamed corn buns.

At this moment, the alluring appearance mixed with the sweet fragrance drilled into people's noses.

Even though Mu Dan had already eaten lunch, looking at the corn cakes now, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

She widened her eyes: "What kind of cake is this?"

She was an employee of the department store; it's no exaggeration to say that as long as it had been sold in the department store, even if she hadn't eaten it, she had seen it.

But this was the first time she had seen something this golden.

Corn cakes were the most ordinary food in this era.

So no one would have thought that rough cakes could be taken out for sale.

After Mu Dan ate one cake, she decisively covered the basket: "Let's go, I'll take you to find Section Chief Song. You can tell her your requirements. Let me tell you, these corn cakes are currently one of a kind. As long as the factory is established, she guarantees she will only take yours."

She then added: "Before it's negotiated, absolutely don't tell anyone else."

But this didn't have much technical content; Lu Qiaoge was just selling something fresh. The main thing was that corn flour was cheap and easy to buy.

But it wasn't that easy to make them golden and crispy on the outside and soft, glutinous, and sweet on the inside.

Actually, this was still a bit lacking in heat, but there wasn't enough oil at home to experiment, so it could only be like this for now.

Section Chief Song's reaction was similar to Mu Dan's.

But she saw at a glance that there was corn flour in it.

She ate one and nodded in admiration: "Coarse grains made delicately, the effect is surprisingly this good."

Lu Qiaoge handed the basket to Section Chief Song: "Our director has already gone to run the approval for the food factory, but this is a large collective nature, and the higher-ups certainly won't allocate funds. Section Chief Song, I just want to ask, if this matter succeeds, can the department store pay a portion of the advance payment in advance?"

Although this request looked a bit excessive, it wasn't without precedent. Besides, if you don't ask, how do you know it won't work?

What if it does work?

When doing business, you have to be thick-skinned.

Section Chief Song looked at the composed Lu Qiaoge; this girl really dares to think.

But for some reason, her behavior didn't make people feel repulsed at all.

Lu Qiaoge smiled sweetly at Section Chief Song and said: "If it's feasible, let's talk about the discounts."

Section Chief Song became interested: "Then tell me about it."

Lu Qiaoge: "Five cents lower than the price of the First Food Factory, and everything that isn't sold after the expiration date will be unconditionally recycled, and the payment will be refunded."

The essence of a discount is price; everyone knows this.

But everything recycled after expiration?

If it doesn't sell well, reporting the loss is also very troublesome.

It was a bit tempting.

Section Chief Song was a very straightforward person. She said to Lu Qiaoge: "As long as your food factory can be built, all of this is easy to talk about."

Not refusing outright meant there was a chance.

However, Section Chief Song emphasized again: "Qiao Ge, I mean on the basis that your neighborhood food factory is established, only then can I report to the leadership."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and thanked her: "I know, whether it succeeds or not, I have to thank you, Section Chief Song."

Anyway, she wasn't counting on it definitely succeeding, but Section Chief Song's words could be relayed to Director Hu and Aunt Huang to give them some confidence.

Don't feel like the neighborhood office's factory is inferior to others.

Lu Qiaoge went back to report on her work, but before she could speak, she was pulled by Huang Juan into her office.

Leaders nowadays are all very simple. Even if they have their own offices, the doors are often left open, and neighborhood office employees can come and go as they please. When tired from working overtime, they can even lie on wooden chairs to rest for a while.

For example, Clerk Liu often comes to sponge tea leaves from Director Hu.

Actually, what kind of good tea leaves are they? They are basically just tea stalks.

And Huang Juan's office is the same.

Without important meetings, it's basically open every day, but at this moment, Huang Juan had closed the door.

Lu Qiaoge looked at the mysterious Huang Juan, not knowing what was going on.

What happened?

Did some earth-shattering event occur?

Huang Juan had wanted to talk to Lu Qiaoge properly after work, but Old Hu was right. What if the factory manager remembered to call in the afternoon?

Finally waiting anxiously for Lu Qiaoge to return, she said to her: "Qiao Ge, let me tell you something."

This tone made Lu Qiaoge serious as well: "What is it, Aunt Huang, tell me."

When there are only two people, Lu Qiaoge likes this intimate form of address.

Huang Juan looked at Lu Qiaoge, whose tight little face made her look even more beautiful, and suddenly realized one thing.

The factory manager and Old Hu were acting separately.

But the information was not symmetrical.

For example, did the factory manager talk to Qin Hengzhi? If he did, what was Qin Hengzhi's attitude? If he didn't agree, and she had already told Qiao Ge about introducing Qin Hengzhi, wouldn't that be setting Qiao Ge up?

If it were someone else, it would be fine, but the other party is Qin Hengzhi. Although that young man has a good appearance, his personality really can't be called gentle, and no one can see through his depths.

Huang Juan swallowed the words she was about to say and waved her hand: "Aren't you going to help Sister Hua copy the registration book? Go do your work. I have something to find Old Hu about."

After saying this, she hurried away first.

Lu Qiaoge:...

What exactly is Aunt Huang doing? Why did she stop mid-sentence?

She wanted to find Director Hu to report on her work, but after leaving Huang Juan's office, she happened to see her enter Old Hu's office.

Lu Qiaoge had no choice but to obediently go copy the registration form.

Meanwhile, Huang Juan and Old Hu stared at each other: "Why are you looking at me? I was led astray by you this morning. And the factory manager calling? That's not right. You have to call the factory manager quietly to see what Representative Qin means. If he doesn't agree, just pretend this matter was never mentioned. Absolutely do not tell Qiao Ge, do you understand?"
