"No mistake, the secretary of Hongqi Commune just called me personally."
Manager Gao, looking refreshed, added, "And I even confirmed with him several times on the phone to make sure it was 5,500 bottles of pickled vegetables, all of which were packed up!"
"Get ready now, and call the finance department too. We'll go over there together to inspect the goods. If everything is in order, we can pay Huangjia Village immediately."
Huang Qinqin nodded quickly: "Okay, Manager Gao, I'll go and talk to the finance department right away."
Originally, Huang Qinqin only sent Zhu Min to Huangjia Village because, although the order quantity was large, the purchase price offered by the department store to Huangjia Village was only 15 cents per bottle.
However, Huang Jianmin insisted on going with him, and Manager Gao was in a good mood and thought that the department store hadn't been too busy lately, so he let him go.
On the way, Manager Gao asked Zhu Min, "Have you prepared the extra money I asked you to prepare?"
Zhu Min nodded: "It's ready. I've already packed it up separately and reported it to the authorities."
Manager Gao nodded in satisfaction, then said to Huang Qinqin, "Qinqin, now that Huangjia Village has completed the order ahead of schedule..."
"Then I can tell you what the good news I mentioned before was."
Huang Qinqin had been so worried these past two days about not being able to deliver the goods to Huangjia Village that she had almost forgotten about it.
Before speaking, Manager Gao proudly puffed out his chest: "The boss said that as long as we can complete the order perfectly this time..."
"Then next year's Canton Fair will definitely give our department store a spot!"
"Wuhu! That's great!"
"Really?! Manager Gao is amazing!"
Before Huang Qinqin could even process what the Canton Fair was, Huang Jianmin and Zhu Min behind her had already cheered.
Do you know what the Canton Fair is?
Gaa.....
As soon as Huang Qinqin asked the question, they immediately fell silent.
Zhu Min and Huang Jianmin lowered their heads and whispered, "We don't know..."
Huang Qinqin: ......
I don't know what you guys are cheering for. Seriously, it scared Huang Qinqin so much that she thought she was the only one who didn't know what the Canton Fair meant.
"Um, Manager Gao, we'd like to ask, what exactly is the Canton Fair?"
Huang Qinqin and the other two looked at Manager Gao with great curiosity, waiting for him to answer their questions.
Manager Gao's enthusiasm was thus dampened by the three of them. It turned out that after all his passionate spiel, they didn't even know what the Canton Fair was.
This is simply, utterly like casting pearls before swine!
"The Canton Fair is..."
After briefly explaining to them what the Canton Fair was, Manager Gao summarized simply and bluntly: "In short, to sum it up."
"The Canton Fair is a great opportunity to make money from foreigners, and with so many state-owned factories and department stores across the country, it is extremely difficult to get a spot."
"So, tell me, isn't this good news?"
After understanding, Huang Jianmin and Zhu Min started another round of cheers. As members of the department store, they felt particularly proud.
Huang Qinqin was even more excited than them because she realized that this was a good opportunity.
This is a great opportunity to completely promote Huangjiacun pickled vegetables to the international market!
However, Huang Qinqin still had two concerns: "Manager Gao, when is the Canton Fair held?"
Manager Gao thought about it carefully: "It's usually held between mid-April and mid-May. We'll let you know the specific date in advance."
Huang Qinqin calculated her due date and found that she had enough time. Her due date was around February, but the doctor said that twins usually come early.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the delivery will be made earlier than scheduled in January.
So by April, whether she gave birth in January or February, she would have already completed her double postpartum confinement period.
"Will they provide us with a translator? Or will I have to communicate with the foreigners myself?"
This is the second issue that Huang Qinqin is worried about.
She was worried that she would be in postpartum confinement during the Canton Fair; she was also worried that they would have to communicate with foreigners themselves during the Canton Fair.
Huang Qinqin's concerns were exactly what Manager Gao was worried about: "It's still uncertain, but it's very likely that they won't provide us with a translator."
A few years ago, it was much easier to find people who could speak foreign languages; you could just look for them at universities.
But now, sigh~
College students who speak foreign languages are like clay bodhisattvas crossing the river—they can barely save themselves.
Take the translators who came to the department store last time, for example. One of them translated the prices incorrectly, and yet they haven't been punished at all.
Fortunately, no major mistake was made at the time, but this also proves the current shortage of translators in China.
"So I think our department store still needs someone to learn from foreign countries, don't you think?"
Huang Qinqin felt a little helpless: "Just say what you want to say, why are you staring at me like that? You don't mean you want me to learn it, do you?!"
"I think so too, haha."
"Not bad, young people have ideas, haha."
"Then I'll leave the task of learning a foreign language to you. Just go ahead and learn. If you need anything, just ask, and the department store will do its best to find it for you."
After Manager Gao pushed the matter of learning a foreign language out of him, he felt much more relaxed, hahaha.
Huang Qinqin, who was forced to take on the responsibility of learning a foreign language, could no longer smile.
......
Meanwhile, in Huangjia Village, a large group of people were waiting for Huang Qinqin and her companions to arrive.
With the strong support of the commune leaders, packing 5,500 bottles of pickled vegetables didn't take five days! Not even three!
In just two days, they achieved this miraculous number.
This morning, after confirming that a sufficient quantity had been packed, the commune secretary personally called the department store.
They are now waiting for the department store staff to come and collect the goods and make the payment.
"They're here! They're here!"
Someone spotted the shadow of a truck in the distance and immediately shouted excitedly.
When Huang Qinqin and the others got out of the car, they were startled to see a large crowd gathered outside the pickled vegetable workshop.
Huang Qinqin and Huang Jianmin, in particular, grew up in Huangjia Village, but they had never seen so many people in Huangjia Village before.
After they got off the bus, the commune secretary, with his keen eye, accurately identified which one was Manager Gao.
He walked up and warmly shook hands with Manager Gao: "Hello Manager Gao, I am the secretary of Hongqi Commune. Thank you very much for your support of Huangjia Village."
"Not at all, it's all thanks to Huangjia Village itself. If their pickled vegetables weren't so delicious, they wouldn't have had this opportunity."
Then Manager Gao pointed to the bustling crowd in front of him and asked, "Who are these comrades?"
