The process of collecting wool isn’t important; what’s important is that the wool is in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Jiang Cheng, who spoke eloquently, without exaggerating or her usual rambling, she was serious and gave examples to prove her point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considering tomorrow is the last day of the itinerary, according to the foreigners’ mindset, I want to host a farewell party. These items are what I’ll use to decorate the party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Cheng spoke, she laid out items with exquisite patterns on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pandas on chopsticks that are adorable and charming, stunning landscape painting tablecloths, bookmarks with bridges and flowing water portraying distant tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From napkins to chopsticks and spoons, to silk cloth fans and bookmarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng looked at Jiang Cheng with increasing seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Leng, this is my rough plan.

After tasting your cooking, I probably won’t find braised pork appealing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! No worries, I’ll make you a jar of my secret meat sauce to take home as a dish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng immediately agreed, saying, \"That sounds great, but I’ll provide the meat! Otherwise, I’d feel bad eating it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chef Dong agreed readily but thought he’d just add more meat to it when the time comes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chef Dong continued cooking, according to Jiang Cheng’s suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng quietly finished her special breakfast in the back kitchen, then started getting busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, Jiang Cheng went to the dining hall, checked the setup, and patiently waited for the foreigners to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to come was Jenny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny enthusiastically rushed over to Jiang Cheng, her amazed eyes circling around Jiang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang—you look beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the compliment; I think so too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s confidence led her and Jenny to exchange smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Jiang Cheng wore a dress with simple style but a beautiful pattern, reminiscent of ink wash painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang, this pattern is stunning; there’s an indescribable feeling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it indescribable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freshly splashed ink from yesterday, it’s a pure ink wash dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jenny, if you like it, I can give you a piece, though I didn’t make it into clothing, just fabric. The pattern is slightly different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny’s eyes lit up further upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have fabric?

Thank you, Jiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang ’Middleman’ Cheng officially went to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng connected the dots, called in Director Leng, Factory Director Fang, and had Jenny sit in a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng, as the middleman and sometimes translator, helped both sides understand supply and demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny likes fabrics with artistic taste, though such fabrics are not abundant, leaving Jenny unsatisfied with the quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang, I really like them, but the quantity is a bit less. Not worth taking a boat trip as shipping is expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng calmly nodded, taking a booklet from Factory Director Fang beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jenny, whether you purchase fabrics from any factory, production time is necessary. Why don’t you look at the factory’s catalog and see if there are any patterns you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.787Z",1,"novelbin.me","1afe74bc338587c0a0878299eab732be889729eb0022f3b62be412d1cbc4d361","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-100","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-98",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
