Chapter 300: A Bright Future
After Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei went downstairs, they went out to find something to eat and happened to pass by Jiang Dong's booth.
Seeing Jiang Dong busy, Jiang Xia called him and asked, "Have you eaten yet? Do you need me to bring you some food?"
Jiang Dong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Xia's face, which was rosy but without any palm prints.
Jiang Xia felt guilty when she saw Jiang Dong's eyes. Could it be that Zhou Chenglei's jealous look left something on her face?
Is my lip still swollen?
Jiang Xia turned away and said, "Since you've eaten, let's go eat."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Zhou Chenglei and ran away.
Jiang Dong: “…”
When did he say he had eaten?
Sure enough, he was angered because of Ye Xian again!
Jiang Dong shouted: "Sister, I want to cook goose leg rice, the lunch box is here!"
Zhou Chenglei turned around to get his lunch box.
Jiang Dong: "Brother-in-law, I wonder if Sister Xiaoyan has eaten yet. Go ask her and take her to eat with you!"
Zhou Chenglei didn't even bother to pay attention to him and just turned around and left.
Seeing Zhou Chenglei didn't respond, Jiang Dong called Jiang Xia, "Sister, remember to call Sister Xiaoyan for dinner."
Jiang Dong saw Zhang Fuyan running up and down the stairs all morning, her heels were all rubbed raw, and he didn't know if she had eaten.
Jiang Xia replied: "She has already eaten. When I went to see her just now, a male classmate helped her get food."
Jiang Dong: “…”
Are there any male classmates who bring her food?
Which male classmate?
Is this the person Xiaoyan likes? Does he know him?
Jiang Dong's curiosity emerged again.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei walked out of the exhibition hall and found a restaurant nearby.
As soon as the two walked in, Jiang Xia saw Jiang's mother and Peng Yuhua chatting happily in the private room.
Jiang Xia hurriedly pulled Zhou Chenglei and signaled him to change places. After all, she had just said that she had an appointment at noon and rejected Peng Yuhua's invitation.
Zhou Chenglei also saw Jiang's mother. Although he didn't understand why Jiang Xia wanted to hide, he still followed her out.
In the private room
Peng Yuhua was praising Jiang Xia vigorously, "How do you teach your children? How did you teach Xiao Xia to be so outstanding? Xiao Xia really opened my eyes today!"
Jiang's mother was surprised when she heard this. She knew Peng Yuhua well. She seldom praised others and was very strict with others. Most people were not worthy of her attention.
She was confused: "What happened to Xia Xia?"
"Guess how many orders Xiao Xia got for the textile factory in this morning, no, it should be two hours, guess?"
Seeing her excitement, Jiang's mother guessed, "Five hundred thousand?"
Peng Yuhua looked at her with a smile: "No! Too little!"
"One million?" No way?
Peng Yuhua knew she couldn't guess it, so she smiled and said, "It's 3.5 million! I roughly calculated it and it's 3.5 million. There are still some small changes that I haven't counted, so I estimate it's around 3.8 million. Xiaoxia, you almost helped me complete the task in just one morning!"
Mother Jiang: “…”
Three and a half million? How is that possible?
Her clothing factory only made a turnover of 30,000 yuan in one morning, and most of the sales were furs and leather jackets.
The unit price of fur and leather clothing is high, which means that not many pieces were sold.
Jiang Xia helped the textile factory get an order of 3.5 million in one morning? How did she sell it? But Jiang's mother was also happy that her daughter was so capable.
She smiled and said modestly: "It's because your textile factory's fabrics are good, otherwise how could you sell so many? Your textile factory also receives a lot of foreign trade orders every year."
What Jiang's mother said was true. The textile factory's mission target for this Guangzhou Trade Fair was 5 million US dollars, but Jiang's mother's garment factory only had 500,000. Moreover, if they could not complete the mission at this Guangzhou Trade Fair, they would not have to participate next year and would have to give up their booth to more capable manufacturers.
Because there are only more than 6,000 booths at the Guangzhou Fair now, it can be said that it is difficult to get a booth.

Jiang's mother's garment factory has failed to complete its tasks almost every year in the past three to five years. If it weren't for Jiang's face, the Ministry of Commerce probably wouldn't let their garment factory participate.
Besides, if Jiang's mother doesn't get any orders this time, she won't have the face to attend the next one.
Peng Yuhua shook her head: "That's not the case. I waited for most of the morning and talked until my mouth dried up before I made a deal worth tens of thousands. Xia Xia's single deal was more than what I made in the whole morning! You don't know how amazing Xia Xia is. Her foreign language skills are so fluent that she can speak like a foreigner!"
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Her father taught her everything. She can only speak foreign languages ok. She is lazy in learning anything. She is so delicate and spoiled by her father."
"Like father, like daughter! You don't have to be so modest. Xia Xia is very hardworking. She was just a translator. She didn't have to be familiar with the fabrics. She just had to be able to translate! But she knew all the fabrics by heart. She remembered more than a hundred types of fabrics! I also hired another translator. I thought she was pretty good. She translated well, but she was not familiar with the fabrics. The whole process depended on me and the factory employees to explain. I talked for the whole morning and my throat was burning..."
"That's why I admire Xiao Xia. I have to thank Xia Xia very much! I wanted to invite you to have lunch with her at noon, but she already has an appointment."
"You really don't need to be so polite."
"I'm not being polite. I have to thank Xiao Xia anyway. I want her to help me more in the future! Xiao Xia probably made an appointment with Mr. He. I just saw her talking to him. You know Mr. He's status. If Xiao Xia is appreciated by her, she might be able to work in Beijing."
Peng Yuhua thought this was a good thing, so she told Jiang's mother to make her happy! But Jiang's mother's heart sank: "Did Mr. He talk to Xia Xia?"
"Yes. Mr. He is well-known for his love of talent. Xiaoxia has a bright future." Peng Yuhua did not notice anything wrong with Jiang's mother. She just thought that Jiang's mother was too surprised.
After all, if one's own children can work in a department in Beijing, they will have a bright future.
After that, Jiang's mother was in no mood to chat with her. After finishing the meal, Jiang's mother felt a little stomachache and was angry!
She made an excuse and left in a hurry.
***Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei left the restaurant where Jiang's mother was and went to a restaurant farther away.
The restaurant didn't have vinegar for pork trotters, but they did have Baiyun pork knuckles, so Zhou Chenglei ordered one.
Baiyun pork trotter is not as soft and glutinous as braised pork trotter, which melts in the mouth. Instead, it is sweet and sour, a bit chewy, very appetizing and delicious. Jiangxia enjoys eating it.
After dinner, I packed two meals for Jiang Dong, including a roast goose leg, and went back to the exhibition.
The two of them first gave Jiang Dong his food, and then Jiang Xia said, "I can go to the food factory by myself, you go to the machinery exhibition hall!"
During the meal, Zhou Chenglei told her that he worked as an interpreter for a machine tool factory, an automobile factory, and a tractor factory, and that he had agreed on the same commission as that for the shipyard.
So Jiang Xia urged him to go back to the machinery exhibition hall.
Zhou Chenglei didn't really want Jiang Xia to go to the food factory's booth, but he wouldn't stop him from going, so he said, "I have a way to kill three birds with one stone."
