Chapter 88 Bargaining
When the sales director heard this, his mouth twitched, and he finally sighed helplessly: "The employees in our factory are too busy to spare the time, so we want to trouble you."
This must be a lie.
Every employee is unwilling to do this job because they think it is embarrassing. Who makes it so that private transactions are shameful now?
To be honest, he himself didn't want to go.
Even if they say that workers and farmers are the same, in their hearts they are still unwilling to deal with the peasants.
Besides, the roads in the countryside are all dirt roads, and walking on them would make one covered in dust and dirt, so they all avoid going there.
The sales manager added: "Thanks for your help. After the meeting, we decided to give you a salary of 30 yuan."
Chu Hong still had a straightforward look on her face: "I serve the people, I don't want any salary, a defective washbasin can be exchanged for at most 25 kilograms of rice."
Seeing that he looked unhappy, she added, "If it were me, I would rather go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new washbasin. Otherwise, I would have to look at a defective washbasin for more than ten or twenty years. It's really annoying just thinking about it."
"If you go outside to buy food, you still need food coupons. So, if you calculate it this way, it's definitely more cost-effective for you, don't you think so, Director?"
Her counter-offer was a bit harsh, but it also gave them room to raise the price.
Even if she had never worked in a factory, she knew that such matters were not something that a sales director like him could decide.
Even if he could decide, he would not be willing to take the responsibility.
Sure enough, Director Xiao from the Sales Department shook his head repeatedly: "That's impossible, the difference is too big, doesn't it mean that it's only three yuan each?"
Chu Hong looked helpless: "It's mainly because people in the countryside are frugal and don't have much spare money. We mostly use wooden washbasins. Although they are a bit heavy, they are cheap. A wooden washbasin costs only three or five cents at most."
"You don't have to worry about it getting knocked or damaged by kids."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the sky outside and said anxiously, "Director, I'll go back first. The village has already started work. I took some time to come and visit the patient. I have to go back early."
The more she acted as if she didn't care, the more anxious Director Xiao became.
Director Xiao said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. How about you come back tomorrow?"
Even though Chu Hong was indeed not simple, he did not dare to put all the blame on her: "Can you ask your father to come as well? Ask him to sign, okay?"
Chu Hong was afraid that she would laugh, so she pinched her palm and nodded: "Okay, let's come again tomorrow at noon."
Director Xiao actually wanted them father and daughter to come, which means they were very anxious.
This means they dare not lower the price too much.
That means more food will fall into his hands.
After Chu Hong came out, Wu Yinghong was still at the door, looking uneasy. When she saw Chu Hong coming out, she asked anxiously, "How was your talk?"
She was afraid that if their talks failed, her boss would remember her and make things difficult for her in the future.
"Don't worry, little aunt," Chu Hong smiled, "Your leader just told me to let my father and I come again tomorrow."
Chu Hong said this deliberately, making her mistakenly believe that Director Xiao felt that he was young and could not handle such a heavy responsibility.
To prevent Wu Yinghong from pestering me by relying on my status as an elder.
Wu Yinghong was fooled, and earnestly said, "Then go back and tell your father to come early tomorrow, okay?"
Chu Hong responded obediently and quickly rode away on her bicycle.
She had originally planned to go to the hospital, but now she had the possibility of earning a lot of rice, and she was very excited, so she hurried home to tell her stepfather the good news.
Unexpectedly, when I rode to the intersection, I saw Gu Ci waving at me in front of me, smiling like a fool.
It is already past two in the afternoon, and those who should go to work have already gone to work. Apart from the occasional passing tractor, ox cart, or truck, few people walk here.
After all, the road from here is not asphalt, but yellow mud road.
Therefore, Gu Ci standing there alone was very conspicuous.
Chu Hong rode her bicycle to him and got off, a little confused: "You are being discharged from the hospital today?"
She would never have thought that he was coming to see her.
After all, he didn't know whether he had gone home a long time ago.
And she didn't agree to Gu Ci's request to go to the hospital to see him.
"No, I'm not discharged from the hospital." Gu Ci's face suddenly turned red: "I just came out for a walk."
Then he mustered up the courage to say, "I have something to tell you."
Chu Hong's mind was still on the food, so she responded perfunctorily: "You say."
He mustered up his courage and said, "I understand now."
Chu Hong continued to perfunctorily: "I understand."
"I know that I really like you in my heart." He said seriously: "I want to be with you."
"Oh~ah?" Chu Hong was stunned by his words: "What the hell did you say? Are you crazy? You are only nineteen years old?"
Gu Ci took two deep breaths and mustered up his courage: "I'm not young anymore. We talk about actual age over there. I'm already twenty in my virtual age."
Fearing that she would refuse, he continued, "Besides, if we date for a while before getting married, I will definitely be old enough."
Chu Hong was in a weird mood. She rolled her eyes and pretended to be disgusted: "Are you stupid? You are so young, why do you want to get married?"
She had to admit that Gu Ci was pleasing to the eye, well-educated, and had a good temper and attitude.
Being together for a lifetime is too far-fetched, but he will definitely treat me well in the next few years, and it won't be a loss if I marry him.
But she got married again less than a year after her divorce. Doesn’t it seem a bit too fast?
Gu Ci mustered up the courage to hold her hand: "I originally wanted to wait a little longer, but the moment you held my hand yesterday, I really wanted to hold your hand legitimately."
"Chu Hong, I will work hard to earn work points to support our family, and I will respect and love you."
Chu Hong finally understood the feeling of taking the blame: "I..."
I originally wanted to refute, but then I remembered that I did want to check the time on his watch yesterday, but I touched his hand, and he ended up holding it.
At that time, she was wondering why Gu Ci would act so rashly in the ward.
Now I finally know the reason. It turns out that he thought I was the one who held his hand first?
She now explains that it was a misunderstanding, can he believe it?
The most important thing is that Chu Hong is not disgusted with him and even has some good feelings towards him.
Finally, Chu Hong put her other hand on the hand he was holding and said angrily, "Be gentle, you are not holding a stone or a wood."
Gu Ci was so happy that he grinned, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I will be more careful next time."
He loosened his grip, but still held her hand tightly.
Chu Hong could feel that his hands were sweating, which showed that he was nervous and excited at the moment.
She suddenly thought of a saying: Old cows eat young grass.
However, she quickly blocked out these words. If she really wanted to find a partner who is 30 years old, he would either be remarried or have various family reasons. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to be unmarried at such an old age.
