Chapter 284: Urgent Matter

Zhang Miaomiao has fair skin and beautiful looks, and she pays attention to maintenance. She is more than ten years older than Su Jiaojiao. She should be in her thirties now, but at first glance she looks like a twenty-year-old girl.

In her previous life, Su Jiaojiao met her at a friend's wedding. At that time, she was already in her forties, with fair and tight skin. Everyone thought she was in her early thirties.

She hated being called Auntie, and even the kids in kindergarten, she asked them to call her Sister.

Qin Shuang also knows Zhang Miaomiao, but they have different auras. Qin Shuang says that Zhang Miaomiao is good at pretending, and Zhang Miaomiao says that Qin Shuang is selfish and domineering. Both of them advise Su Jiaojiao to stay away from each other.

More than ten years later, Zhang Miaomiao switched from the clothing industry to the beauty industry, where she was doing very well. Su Jiaojiao also became a regular customer of her store.

Zhang Miaomiao is not Su Jiaojiao's best friend, but she is the kind of friend with whom she can chat. Even if they haven't seen or contacted each other for half a year, they can still invite each other from the other side of the city to have tea together.

Zhang Miaomiao's father has been in the clothing business all his life, and he always hoped that Zhang Miaomiao could inherit his legacy. However, Zhang Miaomiao was not interested in clothing and always wanted to change careers. However, for the sake of her father, she worked in the clothing industry for more than ten years.

It was not until her father passed away that she was able to work in the industry she loved.

Zhang Miaomiao said to Su Jiaojiao, "My father chose my husband and gave me this job. Now I can finally be myself."

At that time, Su Jiaojiao thought she wanted to divorce, but she didn't.

Later she found out that her husband was very good to her, taking care of her and the children, and she couldn't bear to leave him.

Later, Qin Shuang told Su Jiaojiao that Zhang Miaomiao was having an affair with a big boss.

Whether it was true or not, Su Jiaojiao didn't know, nor did she want to know. She only knew that she was drinking tea and chatting with Zhang Miaomiao, and she felt very relaxed and comfortable.

"Sister, we sell directly from the factory. We have high-quality products at low prices. What do you want?" Zhang Miaomiao saw a pretty girl enter her shop and greeted her with a smile. She looked at Su Jiaojiao and said, "You look familiar. Have you been here before?"

"I've been here once before." It was indeed Zhang Miaomiao, and even the way of chatting her up was exactly the same as in her previous life.

"I said you looked familiar." Zhang Miaomiao enthusiastically invited Su Jiaojiao to come in and look at the goods. At this time, there were many people strolling around. Everyone was comparing prices and then going to other stores after asking the prices.

Zhang Miaomiao's clothing factory produces women's clothing. She does not accept orders and only produces her own brand. Her store is scattered with clothing samples made this year, and the warehouse and other things are all downstairs.

Su Jiaojiao looked at the goods carefully and picked out one of the cotton-padded jackets. It was made of thick pure cotton fabric, with large light yellow squares on a black background, a short hood, a waist, and an elastic hem.

Nice style, nice colors.

Other stores also have this style, but she prefers to buy it from Zhang Miaomiao.

"The purchase price for that cotton-padded jacket is 20 yuan, and if you buy in large quantities, you can get a discount of one yuan." Zhang Miaomiao glanced at the cotton-padded jacket in Su Jiaojiao's hand. Su Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Boss, although I'm not here to purchase goods at this time, I'm not a retailer. Besides, it's last year's model, so it should be cheaper this year."

She had seen this cotton coat the last time she went to the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market, but the color was different. The purchase price in Wudaokou was 18 yuan. In comparison, it should be cheaper at Qili.

Because it was early in the morning, the people who went to pick up the goods were all regular customers.

She accidentally heard the shopkeeper say that this cotton-padded jacket was from last year and was very popular all winter. This year, many clothing factories have imitated this cotton-padded jacket, which is similar to the previous one. It will probably be popular for a while.

This kind of cotton-padded jacket is filled with silk cotton and is not very heavy to hold in the hand. The factory price is less than 15 yuan.

"Sister, I don't remember you coming to pick up my goods last year." Although Zhang Miaomiao said this, she didn't take it seriously. She thought she really came to pick up the goods last year and took out the account book to flip through it. "Okay, I'll give you last year's price and send it to you at 16 yuan. The minimum order is 1,000 pieces. How many pieces do you want?"

"Then let's start with a thousand pieces!" Su Jiaojiao had expected about the same price. "I'll write down an address for you and you can send it there. Cash on delivery."

"Okay, let's work together again." Zhang Miaomiao took out the delivery note and asked her to write the delivery address. "We deliver once a day. If the drive is within two hours, we can send it to you tomorrow."

"I'm doing wholesale at the power plant's staff quarters." Su Jiaojiao picked up a pen and filled in the delivery address. "Just send it over this afternoon. We're busy shipping out this morning."

"No problem." Zhang Miaomiao marked the delivery time. "Deposit 200."

Su Jiaojiao readily paid the two hundred yuan. Then the phone in her bag rang. She glanced and saw it was Lu Jingyou. Without a second thought, she hung up. How dare he call her...

After a while, it rang again.

It’s still Lu Jingyou’s.

Su Jiaojiao ignored him and simply turned off the phone.

Seeing that she had turned off her phone, Lu Jingyou knew she was still angry, so he had to call Wang Hua in: "Please contact Su Jiaojiao and take her over first. I can't leave here for the time being. Call me if you need anything."

Wang Hua responded, called Su Jiaojiao, and walked out with his briefcase. When the call didn't go through, he had to stop, stand in the corridor, take out the phone book, find a number and call it.

After leaving Zhang Miaomiao's place, Su Jiaojiao strolled around Qili again and bought some daily necessities for Cai Ting. Cai Ting couldn't cook in the house she shared with others, so she had to buy food.

Cai Ting has been eating meals from a mobile food truck these days. When her new house is renovated, they can go there to cook when they have time.

After buying daily necessities, she went shopping in other shops and bought two sets of clothes for Cai Ting before taking a bus back to the power plant’s staff quarters.

Wang Hua was sitting at the door of the warehouse chatting with Cai Ting. Seeing Su Jiaojiao come back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You're finally back."

"Why are you here?" Su Jiaojiao was quite surprised. She handed the bags in her hands to Cai Ting, "I bought these for you."

"Thank you, Boss Su!" Cai Ting took it with a smile.

"There was an accident outside Beijing, and President Lu asked us to go there quickly." Wang Hua stood up, looked at Su Jiaojiao's face inquiringly, and said cautiously, "It's getting late, let's talk in the car!"

He called her cell phone, but it was turned off.

He was so anxious that he almost died. Fortunately, when he sent Cai Ting home last time, he wrote down Cai Ting's pager number and called her, only to find out that she had gone shopping.

"I know nothing about what's going on in the suburbs of Beijing. What's the point of going there?" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to go. "Your President Lu is not my boss."

"Student Su, just consider this a favor. I really can't handle this on my own." Wang Hua, upon hearing her say this, immediately realized that she and Lu Jingyou must have had a quarrel. He said pitifully, "Consider this as a plea from me. You're the legal representative of the new company. If you don't go, it's useless for me to go."

He was complaining in his heart, why did the leader offend this girl at this critical moment!

If she didn't go, he would be in trouble.

In the end, if things don't get done, it's his fault.

Cai Ting was confused. She looked at Wang Hua and then at Su Jiaojiao. Who could tell her what had happened?

Why did Wang Hua become so pitiful out of the blue?

"Then let's go!" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to embarrass Wang Hua. She explained the cotton-padded jacket issue to Cai Ting and instructed, "You should pack up and rest now. I won't be able to help you tomorrow morning. I'll be back as soon as possible."

"You go ahead and do your thing." Cai Ting said with a heartless smile, "I can handle it on my own."

Wang Hua said that there was something very important to discuss with Su Jiaojiao.

It’s an extremely urgent matter!

After Su Jiaojiao got in the car, Wang Hua explained to her, "We had already agreed on the land price based on the current market price. They said they would give us an answer after some discussion, and we could just go over and sign the contract. But today they suddenly said they wanted to bid. Someone else has their eye on that piece of land, and the highest bidder will win. So we have to hurry over and find out more about the situation."

Lu Jingyou called her twice, probably because of this matter, but she didn't want to meet him now, and she didn't want to answer his call even though she knew it was because of this matter.

The new company only had her name on it, and she didn't know anything else. Wang Hua was in charge of everything.

For such a big thing as bidding, Lu Jingyou, the boss behind the scenes, has to step in!

"Oh, Mr. Lu told us to go first." Wang Hua looked back at Su Jiaojiao, as if he had guessed her thoughts. "He will arrange the things he has on hand and come to meet us tomorrow."
