Chapter 175: The gifts really hit the heart!

~7 min read 1,357 words

Wang Yingna naturally knew.

She grabbed Wang Zhen's arm, shook it lightly, and said, "Brother, thank you!"

"What's with the formality with brother?"

"Come on, let's go inside and have a look!"

Wang Zhen said generously.

The two entered the factory for a tour.

Li Jiaci handed the red envelope to Wang Lan, then gestured for Wang Li to come forward.

"Buddy, I'll take you inside!"

Hearing this, Wang Li deliberately put on airs, clasped his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "You really are capable— for the celebration of your furniture factory's opening, my brother prepared eight carts of generous gifts front and back, staying up several nights straight; even when we open a new venue ourselves, we never see him this attentive!"

Li Jiaci walked over with a smile, pulled Wang Li's right hand from behind him, and then clasped both hands.

"I know you went to a lot of trouble!"

"I'm deeply grateful!"

"When the chance comes, I'll treat you two brothers to a good meal!"

Wang Li wasn't just in it for a living.

He glanced at Li Jiaci and said, "My brother treats you well, so you also need to treat our younger sister well— got it?"

"Oh dear!"

"Your younger sister has become a big sis!"

"As soon as she glares, even the watchdog in my factory dare not make a sound!"

"Isn't this treatment good enough?"

Li Jiaci really wanted to have a good talk with him about Wang Yingna's daring deeds of tearing off roofs during this period.

But seeing that the second batch of guests had already arrived,

he could only hand Wang Li over to Zhao Chen, while he himself went to greet the guests.

The second batch of guests were mostly middlemen who cooperated with Shiqiang Mu Cai Chang.

"Boss Li, congratulations!"

"This furniture factory is really huge!"

"It's bigger than the few furniture factories nearby!"

"No wonder the bosses of those furniture factories didn't come over—they must be crazy with envy and jealousy!"

"Hahaha..."

Li Jiaci waved his hand at the crowd.

He said very humbly, "Their factories have been open for over ten years; I've just opened mine—I can't compare, I can't compare!"

Then he gave Liu Jiang a look and said, "Take them around, let them tour every place!"

"Got it, bro!"

Liu Jiang nodded.

He led this group of middlemen into the factory.

At the door there was hot tea brewed by Zhou Ju.

Zhou Ju warmly greeted them, as happy as if she herself had opened a furniture factory.

That said,

Hong Bo is now also considered part of Li Jiaci's family.

What's the difference between this and opening our own home?

"Have a cup of hot tea!"

"Everyone, go inside!"

"It's quite spacious in there!"

Zhou Ju handed the hot tea to the guests.

She smiled so hard her eyes disappeared.

It was about eleven o'clock.

Li Jiaci stamped his feet in the cold wind, exhaled a breath of cold air, and said, "I guess there won't be any more guests later; let's hurry and have the car fleet set out, go to the main factory to cut the ribbon, then head to Spring Happiness Restaurant for a meal!"

Hong Bo asked, "Won't people also come from Bei Bang?"

"Hard to say; since no one's shown up at this time, probably..."

Before Li Jiaci could finish speaking,

a honking sound came from afar.

Li Jiaci narrowed his eyes, saw it was several large trucks, and hurriedly took Hong Bo over there.

The drivers of the trucks were all unfamiliar faces.

Li Jiaci ran to the front of the vehicle and said, "Wait here a moment; I'll have them move the cars!"

He had thought it was Wang Zhen's car fleet blocking their way.

The driver shook his head and handed a red envelope to Li Jiaci's hand.

"This is from Chief Clerk Cui, who asked me to give it to you!"

"He said that lately Bei Bang has been strict, making it hard for him and Major Jin to get away!"

"Let me congratulate you on your opening on his behalf!"

"Moreover, these several trucks of gifts are Major Jin's heartfelt intention!"

"Please be sure to accept them!"

Li Jiaci was a bit dazed.

He felt the thickness of the red packet in his hand; it was not any lighter than the one Wang Zhen gave.

The driver got out of the car and said, "Get some people over to unload the cargo; let's finish the task early so we can return and report duty early!"

"Okay, wait a moment!"

Li Jiaci came to his senses and gestured to Hong Bo.

Hong Bo immediately understood and ran into the workshop to call people.

After waiting for the generous gifts of these several trucks to be unloaded.

Li Jiaci felt an indescribable gratitude.

What Jin Ailing sent was not a mountain of gold and silver, but something he currently needed most.

These were electric planers, jigsaws, circular saws, sanders, and carving machines.

It was only because of the two countries' situations that the car fleet couldn't linger.

Otherwise, Li Jiaci would really like to ask them to stay for a meal.

The cargo fleet returned.

Li Jiaci dialed Xiao Cui's phone.

It rang a long time before the other side answered.

"Hey, Xiao Cui, what are you up to?"

"Do I have to owe you a big favor?"

On the other end of the phone.

Xiao Cui smiled lightly and said, "It's all prepared by Lieutenant Colonel Jin; I just helped find the car fleet."

"Thank her for me; I'll definitely go to Bei Bang another day to treat her to a meal."

"No problem!"

He hung up the phone.

Li Jiaci wiped his forehead and had the workers first move this equipment into the workshop.

Hong Bo said beside him, "Boss, the people from Bei Bang are really generous; this equipment is worth quite a bit of money!"

"Yeah, they didn't even take a bite of the opening banquet and just sent this old stuff!"

Li Jiaci's mood was complicated.

He thought he needed to find an opportunity to repay this favor.

A moment later.

Inside the workshop, deafening firecracker sounds rang out.

The skyrocketing fireworks, though their colors couldn't be seen clearly, could still be heard.

Li Jiaci set off with the mighty car fleet.

Along the way, the several factories passed also set off lively firecrackers.

Finally, the car fleet stopped at the main factory gate.

Everyone got out of the vehicle.

Zhang Chuqiang and Zhao Chen nervously produced the lucky tokens, while Wang Yingna handed Li Jiaci a new pair of scissors.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause and cheers, Li Jiaci stepped forward and completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Boom!

A large firework burst from Li Yihu's hand.

"Congratulations, Boss Li!"

"May your opening be prosperous and all go well!"

"May wealth flow in abundantly!"

"Let us also share in the good fortune!"

"No, it's financial luck!"

"Exactly, exactly, exactly!"

……

Li Jiaci was very happy.

He shook off the fireworks from his body and waved at the crowd.

"Everyone come in!"

The lively crowd surged forward.

Upon arriving at the main factory, they realized that the few branch factories they had just visited were merely appetizers.

Only the scale of the main factory could be called grand!

Li Jiaci was about to follow the crowd inside when suddenly a hand stopped him.

He turned his head and saw it was Wang Zhen.

"Brother Wang Zhen, what are you stopping me for?"

Wang Zhen hooked his arm around Li Jiaci's neck and walked toward the doorway.

"Brother, let's chat for a while!"

"Let's go to the Spring Happiness Restaurant later to drink and talk!"

"No, let's talk now!"

Wang Zhen patted Li Jiaci's shoulder.

Then he opened the car door and pushed the person inside.

The two of them sat in the back seat of the car.

Both were wearing thick down jackets, making the seat feel very cramped.

Li Jiaci shifted uneasily.

"Wang Zhen Ge, maybe I should move to the front passenger seat?"

"Just sit here!"
