Chapter 206
"The Cheng family seems to be very afraid of this patron. It is obvious that he is either rich or noble. As for Cheng, she was sold to the Cheng family by her family because she wanted to buy a house for her brother as a betrothal gift. She feels resentful."
"I asked her a lot of questions. She clearly wanted to tell me, but she was afraid of that person's power, so she ended up being vague. The only valuable information I have is these letters."
"I think this so-called backer might be related to the answer you're looking for."
Ji Hebai couldn't wait to open the letters, wanting to know the answer he had been searching for all these years. However, he quickly calmed down, looked around, and after making sure there were no suspicious people around, he slowly opened the letters.
Ji Hebai was stunned for a moment and glanced at Zhong Qiao.
"Wonton noodles are here."
The old couple brought out steaming wonton noodles and placed them on the table. The hot steam covered their eyelashes.
Zhong Qiao pretended nothing happened and went to drink the wonton noodle soup.
Ji Hebai finally understood everything at this moment. After closing the letter, he clenched his fists and said, "With these evidences, we can find out who is behind this sooner. What you found is the Cheng family's gratitude to their backers. The investigation will go smoothly."
Zhong Qiao smiled and pushed another bowl of wonton noodles towards him: "Eat first, then you don't have to worry so much."
Yes, there is really no need for him to worry so much.
Ji Hebai curled his lips into a smile, took the wonton noodles, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat heartily, sweating profusely while eating.
Zhong Qiao carefully put the letter back into his pocket.
She raised her eyelids and saw that there was no suspicious person around. But it didn't matter. As long as she put out the bait, she didn't have to worry about the other party not being fooled.
After eating wonton noodles, Ji Hebai accompanied her to the market to buy some things. Because there were other things to do in the military camp, Ji Hebai took the letter and said goodbye to her.
Zhong Qiao helped him straighten his messy collar and asked, "When will you be back next time?"
"Wanwan's birthday is coming soon."
The implication is that he should remember to come back for dinner.
Ji Hebai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
Zhong Qiao chuckled, but she didn't say anything. As a couple for such a long time, although it wasn't a long time, they had an inexplicable tacit understanding. No matter what the other said, they would understand it at the first time.

In the following days, Zhong Qiao frequently went in and out of the factory and seemed to have no interest in Uncle Lin. Sometimes when he saw him, he would take the initiative to say hello, as if he had completely trusted Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin was a little uncomfortable at first, but later he became wary, and then he couldn't suppress his ecstasy.
Thus, they tacitly played the roles of elders and caring elders.
Jin Gui's condition had improved a lot after what happened before, so Zhong Qiao handed over most of the factory work to her.
It's a new week again, and they launched a new product. They followed the previous process again, and the clothes were still very popular, but this was far from enough and did not reach the number that Zhong Qiao had in mind.
Jin Gui felt that she was under too much pressure: "Sister Zhong Qiao, aren't we doing well now? Look at you, you are not very busy, and the money you earn is enough for your family to live on."
Zhong Qiao shook his head. "The drawings I designed and the clothes I made can't keep up with the current production and sales volume. We must think of another way to encourage everyone to repurchase."
Jingui was worried: "What else can I do?"
Before, when a few girls were allowed to wear them out and stroll on the street, they did attract a lot of people who knew what they were doing, but it also made some perverts have bad intentions towards the girls, and some even called them shameless.
As a result, girls are afraid to wear it outside now.
Zhong Qiao also witnessed this matter and said, "In that case, let's stop those things for now. I will think of a new way to boost all sales."
Jin Gui understood her temper. She would never give up until she achieved her goal. If she said such words, it usually meant that she had a new idea in her mind, so she simply didn't pour cold water on her.
Zhong Qiao was puzzled.
Finally, after the fourth day, she came up with a new idea.
"You mean to give away all the over thirty pieces for free?"
Alan's eyes almost popped out.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, although we have made a lot of money now, no store has ever given away clothes for free. We are not rich now, so we can't live too extravagantly."
Zhong Qiao smiled and said, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Yalan, let me ask you, if you like a piece of clothing, but it's expensive, would you buy it?"
Alan shook his head. "There are so many clothes in the world. Why bother with this one? If it's expensive, there's no point in buying it."
"Yes." Zhong Qiao nodded. "This is also what the guests think, so we have to find a way to make them accept it."
"Then the best way is to send more than 30 pieces first, spread the excitement as much as possible, and when they get used to it and really like our new products, they will be able to accept the expensive price."
Yalan thought thoughtfully: "Sister Zhong Qiao, I don't quite understand."
Zhong Qiao sighed. This advanced sales method was not suitable to be discussed now. For little girls like Yalan, they simply could not understand it. They would just think that she was a big fool and that giving away clothes for free was equivalent to giving away money.
Zhong Qiao said, "Ya Lan, you still have a lot to learn. I won't teach you these for now. Just do what I tell you to do."
Yalan nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Zhong Qiao."
After instructing the girls, Zhong Qiao began to check everything in the factory.
This includes order and samples of the assembly line.
Fortunately, Jingui was in charge. After the last lesson, she was now fair in rewards and punishments. Zhong Qiao investigated for a long time but found nothing fishy.
According to the regulations, Zhong Qiao gave her a reward.
It was already late at night when she returned home. Zhong Qiao was so tired that she took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep. Zhong's father wanted to call her to eat, but when he opened the door, he saw Zhong Qiao sleeping soundly, so he didn't call her.
Zhong Qiao was woken up by the noise outside the door. She was a light sleeper and would wake up immediately at the slightest noise, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
Zhong Qiao glanced at the alarm clock on the desk - 4:05.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong should have gone to bed long ago. Zhong Siqi sleeps worse than a dog at night, so it naturally can't be him. Who else could be in the living room now?
Zhong Qiao's alarm bells rang loudly.
Uncle Lin.
Yes, and Uncle Lin, whom she had been deliberately ignoring these days.
Zhong Qiao got out of bed quietly and peeked outside through the crack in the door.
