Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu looked at each other. They didn't understand why Qin Haoran was so eager to know Lin Jiayu's name, and in order to find him, he did not hesitate to search the entire carriage. Looking at his dusty appearance, he must have searched all the hard seat carriages one by one without success, and then came to the hard sleeper carriage with his last hope, and finally got what he wanted.

Now both of them believed that Qin Haoran was coming for Lin Jiayu, but they didn't know what he was thinking. Lin Jiayu looked him up and down before asking, "I don't even know you. Why do you have to know my name? Have I offended you before?"

Qin Haoran seemed a little hesitant. "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason right now. Can you tell me your name? I've already told you my name!"

The two couldn't help but roll their eyes. This guy really thinks highly of himself. He takes the initiative to tell others his name and demands that others must tell him their name?

Whose logic is this? Besides, we don’t really care about knowing your name.

They arrived at Guangzhou Station. Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards the door with their luggage. Qin Haoran shouted from behind him, "Is your last name Lin? Is your father called Lin Hui..."

Before Qin Haoran could finish his words, someone he was traveling with came over to him. "Hey, Mr. Qin, why are you in the hard sleeper car? It's so hard for us to find you. Let's go!"

Lin Jiayu turned around suddenly and saw Qin Haoran couldn't help but look back at him while walking. He fell into silence and stopped moving forward.

Seeing him in a daze, Cheng Maixiang tugged at his clothes, and he suddenly woke up and accompanied her off the train.

As soon as the two walked out of the train station, Zhou Minqi, who had been waiting outside the station, couldn't help but brighten up when he saw them.

Cheng Maixiang's dress has always been fashionable, which is fine, but Lin Jiayu's outfit today really surprised him.

He wore a short jacket on the upper body, black slim trousers on the lower body, and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, which made his body proportions look particularly harmonious. In addition, he was originally handsome and fair-skinned, which made him look even more handsome and tall.

"Wow, Linzi, why are you so handsome today! You're simply dazzling my eyes." Zhou Minqi couldn't help but tease, and took the luggage from Cheng Maixiang's hand. "Come on, I'll take you to the guesthouse to settle down first, and then I'll take you to a good meal."

The three of them got on the bus together. Cheng Maixiang stared out the window the whole way, looking at this city that would become almost the most prosperous city in the world forty years later. At that time, urban construction had not yet begun, and there were mostly multi-story buildings on both sides of the road. If it weren't for the huge words "Guangshi Station" on the train station, Cheng Maixiang would have suspected that she had come to a small county town in China.

A tall building suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Maixiang. On the building hung four big characters of Guangzhou Hotel. Cheng Maixiang understood that this was probably the landmark building of Guangzhou. Although it only had more than 20 floors, it was a nationally famous building. Naturally, it would not accept ordinary people like her at this time.

The three of them got off the car in front of a hotel. Zhou Minqi ran around and finally booked a room for them. Then he took them to a state-owned hotel.

As soon as Zhou Minqi sat down, the prepared meals were brought out like water, leaving Cheng Maixiang's mouth wide open in surprise. "Da Zhou, what's your relationship with this restaurant? Why is a state-owned restaurant taking such good care of you?"

Lin Jiayu smiled at her and said, "This guy's network of contacts is beyond your imagination. He probably has friends everywhere in Guangzhou City. What's a restaurant like that?"

Da Zhou chuckled, "Lin Zi really understands me. I once helped the manager of this restaurant with a small favor, so they are quite polite to me."

The food was soon served, and at that moment a middle-aged man walked in. Seeing the three people sitting there, he smiled and said loudly, "Da Zhou, are these the two friends from Lin Wen County you mentioned?"

Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the man who was about forty years old, short and fat, with a round face, squinting eyes, and a very friendly look.

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Lian of the Guangshi Garment Factory," Zhou Minqi said, pointing at Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu. "Director Lian, this is Cheng Maixiang, the head of the garment factory I mentioned to you, and her partner, Lin Jiayu."

Cheng Maixiang didn't expect that Zhou Minqi would invite Director Lian to meet him on the day they arrived in Guangzhou. She didn't even bring the local specialties of Linwen County that she had originally bought to give to Director Lian, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Director Lian looked at the two curiously for a few seconds, then extended his hand, shook hands with each of them, and said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome. Please take a seat. Da Zhou mentioned yesterday that you would arrive today, so I asked him to arrange this meeting to give you a surprise."

It turned out that it was arranged by Director Lian. I think he was the one who asked Da Zhou not to tell the two of them about the party. Did he do this because he valued the two of them, or was he just going through the motions, casually perfunctorily giving them a thumbs-up and then directly rejecting them?

Seeing Cheng Maixiang's frown, Director Lian seemed to guess what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Originally, Da Zhou wanted to tell you in advance, but I refused. I think we should just get together for a meal and talk things over. It's serious business, let's not get into those empty talk."

Cheng Maixiang suddenly developed a great liking for this company director. As the director of the Guangshi Garment Factory, he thought, there must be many people who asked him to do things privately. Even if people in this era didn't have much money, they couldn't go to ask for help empty-handed, so they would naturally give some gifts.

But he was unwilling to take advantage of his position to accept gifts. He always handled everything in a fair and just manner. This attitude alone made people trust him very much.

"Well, that really troubles Director Lian. Originally, Director Lian could go about his own business after get off work, but now he has to take time out to entertain us."

"Don't put off until tomorrow what can be done today. After all, tomorrow has its own tasks." Director Lian waved his hand nonchalantly, looking the two men up and down. "Comrades, could you please stand up so I can see your clothes?"

The two exchanged glances and stood up as instructed. The factory director even nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the clothes. "These clothes are really nice. Are they all made in Comrade Cheng's garment workshop?"

"Yes." Cheng Maixiang said as she opened her bag and took out three sets of clothes she had carefully designed. "Director Lian, these are my works. Please take a look and give me some suggestions."

The factory director took it carefully, looked through it slowly one by one, exclaimed in admiration, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"That's great, Comrade Cheng. You really can be called a talented designer. These clothes are the most fashionable, not to mention in Guangzhou. Even if they were brought to Hong Kong, they would be the most fashionable."

Even after returning the clothes to Cheng Maixiang, the factory director didn't even bother to eat. He couldn't wait to ask, "Comrade Cheng, I thought I'd also brought Da Zhou to you last time. What do you think?"

Cheng Maixiang had considered this matter carefully before coming to Guangzhou, and had discussed it in detail with Cheng's mother and Lin Jiayu. She had already made up her mind. Now, hearing him ask this, she smiled and said, "I agree to cooperate with the garment factory, but I have conditions."
