Chapter 134
Finally, the old lady added this meaningful sentence.
"I have limited patience. I want to work with you today. If you don't agree, I will find someone else."
Jin Gui was a little anxious. When she saw Zhong Qiaoren was deep in thought, she knew that she couldn't interrupt him. In the end, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat.
"This matter was too rushed. I forgot how much goods are left in our factory. Can I go back and take inventory and then give it to you?" Zhong Qiao said.
But I was thinking that I would ask someone to help me check the background of this family when I got home. Since they are so rich, they must be well-known, which is better than being ignorant.
The old lady snorted coldly, as if she saw through Zhong Qiao's tricks: "Then I won't see you off."
Zhong Qiao and Jingui were escorted out by a male translator wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Before leaving, the elegant and taciturn male translator spoke for the first time: "My old lady's biggest problem is her lack of patience. Your small shop has not been able to come across such a big order. You must cherish it."
Jingui nodded, tears welling up in her eyes at the other party's advice: "Thank you very much, brother. We will think about it when we get back."
The male translator sighed and closed the door.
Jin Gui finally spoke her mind: "Sister Zhong Qiao, what are your plans now? I think that old lady seems a little unhappy. If this is really a great opportunity, we will lose a lot!"
Zhong Qiao said nothing and walked with her towards home. Just as they walked out of the yard, another couple came. Both of them looked like businessmen, with fat heads and big ears. The woman was well-dressed, but spoke a non-standard Suzhou dialect.
"Oh, don't worry, husband. This old lady is very rich. The last time I saw her, she was wearing a cheongsam. Those were made by the most famous tailors in Shanghai. They are no longer available. I guess her ancestors must have been rich or noble. If we follow her, we can at least get a taste of her own medicine."
The fat man's originally worried face softened a bit, but his tone was still cold and stiff: "It's better. If the person your poker friend introduced is unreliable, I will never let you go."
"We are of one mind as husband and wife, how can I harm you?" The woman flattered humbly, then put her arm around the man's arm, and the two of them walked into the house together.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, are they here to steal our business?" Jin Gui was extremely panicked. "That old lady said that opportunities can always be given to others. Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
Zhong Qiao sighed: "Anxious? There's no use being anxious." The most taboo thing in doing business is being anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. When the time comes, you will be calculated and eaten alive by the other party, which is more painful than death.
Therefore, Zhong Qiao would rather take a safe approach than take any risks.
After all, the clothing business is the only one she has that is profitable now. If she continues doing this for a long time, it will only get better and better. Although the conditions given by the old lady before are very tempting, there is no guarantee that there will not be any mistakes.
After returning, Jingui went to take inventory of the goods, while Zhong Qiao asked someone to inquire about the resident of this house. Unexpectedly, he met Luo Xiu. After not seeing him for a while, his attitude towards Zhong Qiao changed from rejection at the beginning to relaxation.
"Yancheng Su family." Luo Xiu chewed these words over and over in his mouth. "I have a friend in Yancheng. Don't worry, I will ask him to help find out when the time comes."
At this moment, she couldn't care less about the past things. Zhong Qiao thanked him in a low voice, but at the end, she stopped talking.
Luo Xiu glanced at her and said, "Why? Do you want to ask where he's been recently?"
Zhong Qiao remained silent.
Luo Xiu laughed, "I've noticed you two have very similar personalities. He refuses to say anything, and you never take the initiative either. You two are two weirdos."
"Forget it." He raised his head slightly. "There's no point in making fun of you. It'll save him from causing trouble for me. To tell you the truth, he's gone to join the army, and I don't know when he'll be back."
Zhong Qiao understood. No wonder she had heard Zhou Yingying crying and making a fuss recently. She had thought something had happened, but it turned out to be this reason.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me." Luo Xiu's attitude softened. "Before he left, he told me that as long as it's your problem, he'll help you no matter what. Since I'm his only brother, I won't hold it against you for what happened in the past."
Zhong Qiao chuckled: "Thank you for letting me off the hook."
Luo Xiu felt as if his fist was hitting cotton, so he chose to leave.
The next day, Luo Xiu worked very quickly and asked someone to pass a message to Zhong Qiao.
There is no Su family in Yancheng, only the Xie family, and I have never heard of an old lady with a male translator.
All this seemed to be expected. Zhong Qiao felt a little disappointed and felt that it was a false alarm. Fortunately, he did not get cheated and lose all his money for a small profit.
She will encounter various temptations and scams in the future, so she has to be careful.
When they returned to the warehouse, everyone was busy, but they pricked up their ears to listen to the noise at the door. When they heard footsteps, they pretended nothing happened and continued to work. When Zhong Qiao entered the room, they realized something was wrong.
But she didn't say anything, but walked up to them.
"Stop what you're doing for a moment."
Several girls were waiting for this sentence and immediately stopped what they were doing.
Seeing their eager eyes, Zhong Qiao no longer kept them in suspense.
“We can’t do this business.”
The girls were stunned. Why? Why did they give up such a good business? They had been so happy all night, thinking they were going to get rich.
The one who couldn't understand it the most was Liu Sanhua: "Why, Sister Zhong Qiao, didn't we reach an agreement?"
She clearly remembered agreeing on a price with the old lady, who was willing to pay twice the market price. At least she could make a lot of money, so there was no reason for her to lose money.
Zhong Qiao said: "Be quiet first and listen to me."
The girls looked at her again.
"It's a long story."
Zhong Qiao told Liu Sanhua everything about how he and Jin Gui had visited the family, and how they had later asked someone to find out more about the family. When Liu Sanhua learned that there was no old lady from the Su family in Yancheng, her face turned pale.
She is not a fool, she can guess what is going on anyway.
It turns out to be a liar.
"Impossible." Liu Sanhua said stubbornly, "They are dressed decently and can speak English, how can they be scammers?" How could a scammer have such skills?
Zhong Qiao knew that she was young and had never seen such a high-level liar, so he didn't blame her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sanhua, then come with me. Let's go and see if what you said about the Su family in Yancheng is true or not."
Liu Sanhua hesitated, but the desire in her heart exceeded her fear. No matter what, the truth was right in front of her, and she only wanted an answer.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
