Chapter 153 Chapter 153 1st update

The overseas Chinese business delegation signed several investment contracts during their stay in the capital, but the amounts were not large. It can be seen that the overseas Chinese businessmen still have doubts about the domestic investment environment.

As for cooperation on other technologies and equipment, not a single one was agreed upon.

The main destination of the delegation was the special economic zones in the south, and the people at the Capital Commerce Bureau knew this, but even though they came, they were not able to get them to leave much money, which meant that they did not do their job well enough.

In the temporary office on the first floor of the hotel, people from the Ministry of Commerce were doing the finishing work, while people from the Capital Bureau of Commerce were sitting together sighing.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the office door and a young and beautiful lesbian pushed the door open and walked in.

Xiao Luo from the Capital Business Bureau recognized this person as one of the female students sent by Capital University to serve overseas Chinese businessmen. He stood up and asked, "Student Shen, what can I do for you?"

Shen Moer walked into the office, smiled and nodded to everyone, and then said: "Hello, Comrade Luo, I remember you said before that the contract signed with overseas Chinese businessmen needs to be reported to the Commerce Bureau for filing. I am here to deliver the contract."

Xiao Luo nodded blankly: "Contract, the contract does need to be filed, but..."

However, the contracts of several factories with which we have agreed to cooperate have already been filed with them.

Shen Moer handed over the document in her hand: “This is the equipment transfer contract signed between Comrade Cui Jianzhong’s Jianzhong Group and our Huacai Garment Factory.”

After hearing this, the people who were originally sitting in the Capital Commerce Bureau all stood up at the same time: "What, Mr. Cui Jianzhong signed the contract?"

"Is it the batch of clothing equipment from Country D that the Capital Fifth Garment Factory wants?"

"Not only the Fifth Capital Garment Factory, but also several other state-owned large factories wanted to compete for it. However, Mr. Cui said that there were not many equipments, and giving them to several state-owned large factories would just be the icing on the cake, so they gave up. I originally thought that the Fifth Capital Garment Factory was a sure thing, but who knew..."

Cui Jianzhong didn’t even give Gao Yong a chance to speak. The staff was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among overseas Chinese businessmen, so they simply “cleared the area” for Gao Yong.

What is even more unexpected is that this batch of equipment was finally signed by Huacai Garment Factory.

Someone from the Capital Commerce Bureau finally responded: "Oh, yes, the director of the Huacai Garment Factory..."

I heard that she is a young and beautiful lesbian, and she is still in school.

Because they were too busy with school, some of the daily affairs of the factory were handled by Deputy Director Bai Junwen and General Affairs Section Chief Zhao Zhenghui. People from the Capital Bureau of Commerce had an impression of Bai Junwen and Zhao Zhenghui, but had no impression of the rumored female director at all.

"You are Director Shen, right?!" Someone finally said the words that everyone had been thinking about and finding unbelievable.

Shen Moer laughed: “Yes, I am here to submit the contract as the director of Huacai Garment Factory.”

"Please have a seat. I'll go register and file it right away. We will try our best to assist you with the subsequent equipment introduction and payment transactions." Xiao Luo reacted, flipped through the contract quickly, turned around and went to register.

I asked casually: "Does the payment need to be settled in the currency of the United States? Foreign exchange may also require..."

He continued halfway through his speech: "Oh, no need, Chinese currency, installment payment, divided into three years?! Mr. Cui is really... Not bad, not bad, this contract is very beneficial to you. I remember that Director Shen is in Mr. Cui's group, it seems that you get along well with Mr. Cui."

Xiao Luo was muttering to himself as he registered. Anyway, everyone in the office was from their system and the content of the contract was not a secret to them. Even if everyone knew about it, they would not tell anyone else.

The main reason is that they have a division of labor internally. Xiao Luo happens to be in charge of Cui Jianzhong's group. The several groups he is in charge of have not been able to get any contracts before and ended up with zero results. Although he is not the only one who got zero results, Xiao Luo is still very happy to be able to get rid of the team with zero results.

Sure enough, after listening to his mumbling, several colleagues showed expressions of toothache, especially those who still maintained a zero record, they were extremely envious and jealous.

This guy is so lucky!

Having said that, who could have thought that in the end, several large state-owned factories failed to win the equipment order, but instead it was won by a social enterprise.

Someone from the Ministry of Commerce also came over. She was a neat lady with short hair. She looked at Shen Moer with a smile and reminded her, “When the equipment arrives, I’m afraid we’ll have to borrow some from the Capital Machine Tool Factory first.”

Shen Moer smiled and nodded: “I know.”

In fact, compared with funds, China attaches more importance to the introduction of technology and equipment. The fact is that China's technology in all aspects is far behind that of foreign countries at this time.

But the Chinese are famous for their ability to study hard and endure hardships.

Since foreign countries blocked their technology, they bought equipment, disassembled them part by part, and studied them. They slowly explored the technology by rubbing the parts together, and learned the technology bit by bit from foreign countries. Then they drew inferences from their experiences and waited for an opportunity to surpass foreign countries.

Cui Jianzhong's equipment are the most advanced garment-making equipment in the world. There is no doubt that they will be taken for "research".

As we were chatting, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. The short-haired lady walked back to answer the phone. She was smiling at first, but then her expression gradually became serious, even a little surprised, and finally said, "The person is in our office."

No one else in the office paid much attention. They were still surrounding Shen Moer and asking her how she got the contract. The short-haired lady walked over, took advantage of the opportunity, and interrupted Shen Moer to ask, "Is Director Shen from Southern Province?"

Shen Moer smiled and nodded: “Yes, in Jiangbei County, Lingjiang City, Nan Province, Huacai Garment Factory is a social enterprise of Liuqiao Commune, Jiangbei County.”

The short-haired elder sister nodded, hesitated, and asked again: "Is Director Shen's mother's surname Su?"

Shen Moer originally thought that she was interested in Huacai Garment Factory, but she didn't expect that she suddenly asked about her mother's surname.

Shen Moer nodded without even thinking: “Yes.”

Her mother's surname was indeed Su, and she was the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in Daliang.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Shen Moer immediately realized that the other party must be asking about her original body's mother.

The original body's mother also had the surname Su, and even her maiden name was the same as her mother's.

Her father said that even their appearance was exactly the same.

It seems like she is her biological mother.

But why did this lesbian suddenly ask this?

The short-haired lady smiled and consoled him, "It's okay. I just want you to wait here for a while. There is something I need to confirm."

Shen Moer blinked, didn't ask any further questions, just nodded.

Over there, Xiao Luo quickly completed the contract filing while muttering to himself, and returned the corresponding materials to Shen Moer.

The short-haired lady thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we wait somewhere else?"

Shen Moer raised her eyebrows, but did not refuse: "Okay."

I said goodbye to Xiao Luo and the others and followed the short-haired lady out of the office.

As soon as the two of them walked into the hotel lobby, they saw two people hurriedly getting out of a car parked in front of the hotel. After quickly walking into the hotel, they walked straight towards them.

Shen Moer saw clearly that one of them was Cui Jianzhong, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. As soon as the person came in front of her, she couldn't help but say: "Comrade Cui, you didn't regret it after signing the contract?"

The contract terms were drafted by Cui Jianzhong, but they were very favorable to her. In fact, Shen Moer was quite surprised when she saw it. She knew that Cui Jianzhong was a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted person, but she didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

Cui Jianzhong took a deep breath and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Am I that kind of person? I don't care about that little bit of profit."

Shen Moer was puzzled: "Then what happened that brought you back?"

The main thing was that these two people came towards them as soon as they entered the door, and it seemed like they were looking for them.

Shen Moer turned her head and looked at the short-haired elder sister: "Are you here to look for Comrade Shan?"

The short-haired lady’s surname is Shan.

Sister Shan smiled and shook her head, saying affirmatively, "It's for you."

Shen Moer followed her gaze and looked at Su Jingnian, her expression becoming more and more confused.

She knew that Su Jingnian was a member of the inspection team, but their inspection activities this time were basically "one-on-one" services. She usually only had more contact with Cui Jianzhong, and had little contact with other people in the inspection team.

He didn't even say a word, so she naturally didn't think that Su Jingnian was here to see her.

Su Jingnian opened his mouth and squeezed out a sentence from his throat after a long while: "Child, is your mother's name Su Jingxiu?"

Shen Moer looked at him in surprise.

She did not deny it, and the expression on her face was enough to tell it all. Besides, on the way back, Su Jingnian had actually asked the reception team to check Shen Moli's information.

Place of origin and parents' names are not secrets; the comrades in the Capital University Student Affairs Office can find out just by looking them up.

Shen Moli's file clearly states: Mother, Su Jingxiu, deceased.

Su Jingnian's eyes gradually became moist. The emotions that had been suppressed all the way surged in his chest. His throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Did your mother tell me where she was from?"

Just now, the reception team even called Liuqiao Commune to inquire and confirmed that Shen Moli's mother Su Jingxiu was not a native of Jiangbei County, but fled to Jiangbei alone.

All the information almost matches, especially the girl in front of him, who has a pair of calm and bright eyes, which are very similar to the sister in his memory.

At this moment, Su Jingnian's mood was very complicated.

He hoped very much that Shen Moer was his relative, but he was also very afraid that Shen Moer was really his relative.

Because if Shen Moli is really the child of his sister Su Jingxiu, then it means that his sister had passed away twenty years ago.

Shen Moer looked at Su Jingnian, and a strange feeling came over her heart. She always felt that the man in front of her looked kind and familiar, like an elder whom she should have known and admired for a long time.

She thought about it carefully, and finally picked up something from the corner of her memory.

When they first came through, the father and daughter found a few photos in this poor home when they were taking inventory of their property. It was the first time they had seen such a "painting" that could capture a person in every detail.

The photos include a family photo of my mother and a photo of my mother and my brother.

Time flies. The young man and woman in the photo, one has passed away, and the other one... could it be the man in front of me?

Shen Moer looked at Su Jingnian carefully for a few times. She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she looked carefully, she realized that the man with slightly gray hair on his temples did look a bit like the boy in the photo.

"My mother's name is Su Jingxiu. She was from Gucheng, Shanxi Province. She fled to Jiangbei County in April 1948. She had a few photos with her at the time, a family photo and a photo of her and her brother."

There was a sharp pain in her heart like a needle stabbing her, and then Shen Moer heard her own voice saying these words calmly but hoarsely, and an emotion that could not be ignored surged in her heart, sour, painful, and deep sadness.

These emotions did not seem to belong to her, but they kept surging up from her heart, and her eyes became uncontrollably wet.

Then, Shen Moer heard herself say again: "My mother's brother is called Su Jingnian."

She clearly didn't know that the original owner's uncle was called Su Jingnian before, but at this moment, her memory was like a book that could turn pages automatically, and she couldn't control it and turned out the scene of Su Jingxiu holding a few-year-old child and chattering.

"Nannan, you have to remember that mom's hometown is in Gucheng, Shan Province. Mom's brother is Su Jingnian. During the war, grandpa and grandma passed away. Mom and brother depended on each other, but mom and brother were separated. If, if mom can't find brother, can you help mom find uncle?"

"Nannan, my mother's name is Su Jingxiu, and my mother's brother is Su Jingnian. Nannan, you must remember..."

As these memories appeared in her mind, big tears rolled down from Shen Moer's eyes.
