As a designer, Lao Dao is still a little shallow, but as a student, he is Qian Qing's favorite type.

Qian Qing's style is more practical, while Lao Dao's style is closer to the flamboyant feeling of foreign countries. To be precise, this group of young designers have very distinct personal styles because of their open-minded thinking.

Fortunately, in addition to Qingyue, there is also the foreign brand of Lu Jiayi. Qian Qing simply gives young people with ideas like Lao Dao a certain degree of freedom to design freely.

Compared with the clothing company's hot performance, the sanitary napkin company is not so good.

Xu Ahua's face was filled with fatigue, and she was unable to raise her head in front of Qian Qing.

When Qian Qing founded the sanitary napkin company named "Qingshu", the price was already affordable enough. Over the years, the price of sanitary napkins produced by state-owned factories has risen from 70 or 80 cents per pack to one yuan per pack now.

As for Qingshu's sanitary napkins, since all the raw materials are imported from abroad and there is no export quota subsidy, the purchase price itself is more expensive than that of state-owned factories. Excluding the cost of raw materials and labor and site expenses, Qian Qing set the price at one yuan.

But it was this one cent difference that made Qingshu's development extremely difficult.

In places where state-owned factories have already covered the market, Qingshu's competitiveness is not strong enough. In places where state-owned factories cannot cover the market, it is difficult to promote sanitary napkins themselves.

Qian Qing looked through the income and expenditure records for the past six months. During this six-month period, the income of the entire sanitary napkin factory was not as much as the monthly income of Qian Qing's two clothing brands.

Xu Ahhua is now the director of the sanitary napkin factory. With the poor sales of sanitary napkins in the past few months, people in the factory are also in a state of panic. The workers who were recruited are afraid that the factory will go bankrupt, and they say all kinds of things in private.

"The products in the factory are currently only sold in the province and neighboring provinces. We have tried in other provinces, but the results are not very satisfactory."

To say it’s not ideal is an understatement.

Some of Xu Ahhua's salesmen were unreasonable and shouted to call the police, saying that these salesmen were hooligans. You know, the crime of hooliganism can be punished severely nowadays. If the company had not issued a letter of introduction with the official seal in advance and let these people carry it with them, who knows what would happen.

Qian Qing also frowned: "Have you tried other methods?"

Xu Ahhua bit her lower lip, weighed the pros and cons and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the main thing is that we sell this kind of privacy products, which is contrary to the nature of sales promotion."

This is true. Sales promotion requires spreading the word about the product, and people would rather beat drums and hold up loudspeakers to let everyone know the benefits of their products. However, the nature of sanitary napkins is different. Not only are salespeople, but even buyers are sneaky.

After hearing this, Qian Qing straightened her expression.

"Why not? We promote our products the same way as others do. Sanitary napkins are a new thing, and many people don't understand them well enough. Or many people don't understand women's menstruation well enough. Haven't you talked to many gynecologists before? In the past, people didn't understand it, so they thought that such things couldn't be brought to the table. But now that you know so much, you should get rid of these messed up ideas."

Qian Qing walked around the room twice and made a decision.

"I'll make the contact and we'll shoot a commercial and appear on TV."

Xu Ahhua tried to probe: "Provincial TV station?"

Xu Ahua knew that her boss had a friend named Lao Ding. Over the past year or so, Lao Ding's advertising company had been doing very well. Lao Ding had established connections with the television station, and not only did companies in the province approach him to place advertisements, but people from other provinces also came to him to advertise.

Qian Qing shook her head and said, "We can let Lao Ding do the photoshoot this time."

As for TV stations...

Qian Qing plans to go for the biggest one this time.

Xu Ahhua's heart skipped a beat. Advertising space on the national television station is not cheap. It is calculated by the second!

"Wouldn't it be a bit...too risky?"

Xu Ahhua wanted to persuade them, even if they could advertise on the provincial TV station first, why did they have to go straight to the national TV station right away? If they lost money, they would not be able to get back any of their money.

Qian Qing knew that if this was clothing, she could advertise it on the provincial TV station, but when it came to a new product like this, a new product that she had never come across before, it would be best to advertise it on the largest TV station.

Because the purpose at this time is not advertising at all, it is to completely promote a new product. Unlike Qingyue, the Qingshu brand was born to go straight to the largest manufacturer.

Qian Qing was determined and Xu Ahua had no choice but to trust her boss's decision.

The production of the advertisement was given to Lao Ding, who did not hesitate and directly found a professional photographer. Relying on the connections of his younger brother in the crew, he found a young female actress. Within a few days, two high-quality advertisements were released.

In the picture, a young girl in fashionable clothes covers her belly at first and then sits on a swing. The lyrics also deepen the connection between sanitary napkins and Qingshu.

The other one has a more cinematic tone, showing a beautiful figure walking from a distance.

Qian Qing was very satisfied with this and arranged for someone to go to Beijing to coordinate the time and arrange the broadcast.

*****

In the five-story courtyard of Y City, Tian Xue was twisting her fingers, her pale fingertips tinged with red. She looked like a nervous bird.

Ah Zhen was wearing a dark red dress today and patted Tian Xue's shoulder.

"Ah Xue, I really treat you as my sister. You see, as soon as I heard about the people coming this time, I immediately called you back..."

"I heard that he graduated from a military academy and now works in the provincial government. He's very handsome..."

"You must seize the opportunity."

Tian Xue bit her lower lip and took Ah Zhen's words to heart.

"Sister Zhen..."

"I'm still a little scared..."

Ah Zhen coaxed her: "Don't think too much, we are just meeting each other this time. You should get along well with him. Besides, your family conditions are not bad. How can you not be worthy of him?"

Ah Zhen said this, but she was a little annoyed. The person who came this time was originally the head of the Public Security Bureau, but in the end, the other party suddenly said that he had relatives here, so he only arranged for a director to come.

When the time came, Azhen had no way to arrange for anyone else to come, so she could only let Tian Xue go to interact with the director.

Ah Zhen coaxed Tian Xue over and over again until she was calm. Ah Zhen lit a cigarette for herself and let out a long sigh of relief.

Tian Xue is such a fool. She actually thought this was a good place and that I really wanted to introduce her to someone...

It's just that stupid people are better. Whenever you deal with smarter people, you have to find excuses for many things. It's better to find a stupid person so that it's easier to control him in the future.

Just as she was thinking, Ah Zhen caught a glimpse of Wang Hua in the corner.

Wang Hua's appearance at this time was very different from before. If anyone in the compound saw him, they would definitely notice that Wang Hua was now extremely thin. His eyes were almost protruding from their sockets. He looked very emaciated.

Ah Zhen looked at him with disdain, and Zhou Hao's figure flashed through her mind again.

maybe……

She should try again.

Thinking of this, Ah Zhen crushed the cigarette butt in her hand.

****

At Ding's Restaurant, Professor Yan walked in with a square-faced man.

"Lao Ding! Give me some fried pork intestines, braised pig's trotters, red oil chicken nuggets, and some braised eggplant!"

Uncle Ding poked his head out from the smoky kitchen and said, "Old Yan, your food is too greasy. Why don't you serve some greens?"

Professor Yan: "Didn't I order grilled eggplant?"

"Can grilled eggplant be called a vegetable? Besides, you ordered so much, can you finish it?"

Professor Yan said angrily: "I brought people with me."

Uncle Ding just saw the person next to him, but still didn't let go.

Ding's restaurant serves students, and the dishes are large in size. Not to mention two people, even if three people come, this amount of food is enough.

"I'll trade the braised pig's trotter for winter melon, vegetable and tofu soup." Look at your waistline...

Professor Yan had basically eaten three meals a day at Ding's restaurant in the past two years, and occasionally went out for a bite. He was rejected by Uncle Ding at this time, but he didn't say anything.

But the person next to him laughed and said, "Teacher, your taste is quite strong now."

Professor Yan took out his own tableware from the corner cabinet in the restaurant and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I eat very healthily!"

It’s only in recent years, as life has improved, that some people have started to say that eating too much oil is bad for you, saying it affects blood pressure and blood sugar, causing panic among the public.

When I met this student today, he asked in a confused manner, "Teacher, you are so fat now, do you have high blood pressure?"

But he was so angry that he almost kicked the person out.

This student is not young anymore, over 40 years old, but he still behaves like a good boy in front of him. However, Professor Yan, who knows his background, doesn't believe that this guy is as honest as he appears to be.

"...Don't listen to what others say. I'm in good health. I can eat a whole pork elbow in one meal. The school also conducts physical examinations every year..."

The student listened with a smile, but his plan in his mind was to go to the school and ask for Professor Yan's physical examination report.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What brings you here this time?"

Professor Yan did not inquire much about what position his student holds now, but he studied mechanical and electrical engineering with him for four years, but finally chose to join the army and was only transferred to this major a few years ago.

Just by looking at the other party's current appearance, Professor Yan knew that his position would not be low.

The student's name was Tong Ming. When he heard the teacher's question, he answered, "There is something related to the oil field. I need to come over to deal with it."

“Maybe we need to stay here for a while.”

As he was talking, Uncle Ding brought up several dishes.

The fried pork intestines are red and green, which looks very tempting, and have a unique aroma of deep frying, which makes people salivate. The red oil chicken nuggets are bright red and shiny. They are made of cooked chicken nuggets, added with oil, chili, and various peanuts and sesame seeds, and are spicy and long-lasting.

Professor Yan didn't even look at the roasted eggplant and stir-fried vegetables next to him, and ate the two dishes in front of him with great relish.

Tong Ming also joined in the fun, picking up a piece of red oil chicken and putting it into his mouth. He was surprised for a moment. He thought that the food in this restaurant in Y City, especially in front of the school, must not be very good. But after tasting it, it tasted good. Although it was not as good as those time-honored brands that had been passed down for decades, it was already considered good around the school.

"This chicken nugget has the flavor of Sichuan Province, and the chili is good too. Is the chef from there?"

Professor Yan said without even raising his head: "No, he is from here. His niece is the one who bought my land, and this house is also hers. As for the chili pepper, you should have heard of it, it is the Hongjuan chili sauce, which is the business of his niece's family."

Tong Ming had certainly tried Hong Juan chili sauce. The brand of this chili sauce spread very quickly, and its advertisements in the province were also very loud, but he really didn't know that such a famous chili sauce actually came from Y City.

Just as I was about to say something, I saw Professor Yan greet someone who came in to eat.

"Zhou Hao, come here, let me introduce you."

"This is my student, now he is a police officer in the provincial capital, his name is Tong Ming. This one almost became my student, now he is a graduate student majoring in chemical engineering here, his name is Zhou Hao. He is also an engineer in the oil field."

After Zhou Hao entered the Department of Chemical Engineering as a graduate student, Professor Yan often heard professors in the Department of Chemistry praising him.

What kind of person is smart, practical, and has ideas. If he is not already an engineer at an oil production plant, he would be a good candidate for scientific research.

Professor Yan was so regretful at this moment. If he had known this, he would have persuaded Zhou Hao to take the exam last year. After all, Zhou Hao was "almost" becoming his student.

When Tong Ming heard that Professor Yan was talking about an engineer from the oil production plant, a light flashed in his eyes. Although it was quick, Zhou Hao saw it.

After a few pleasantries, the two sides sat down to eat.

Zhou Hao had classes in the afternoon, so he quickly finished his meal and went to class.

In the evening, when Zhou Hao was returning home, he saw Tong Ming at the factory gate.

Tong Ming obtained information indirectly from Professor Yan in the afternoon, and combined it with the information he got from the oil field, so he came directly to find Zhou Hao.

"Hello." Tong Ming had never expected that this engineer named Zhou Hao would have some connection with Wang Hua's family. Although this connection was not good, it was a timely help in this case.

Zhou Hao didn't show any doubt on his face, because Tong Ming took out his introduction letter after a few words of greeting. There was a bright official seal on it, which said that he was the head of the provincial department.

Zhou Hao hesitated for a moment: "What do you want to ask?"

Qian Qing's business is big, but Qian Qing has always paid taxes legally and operated in compliance with regulations, so there won't be any problems. Besides, even if there are problems, the economic department should come to investigate, how could the police come in?

So the other party probably came to find out some information from him.

Tong Ming came prepared this time: "I understand that you have reported the problem to the logistics director of your oil field before, right? About Wang Hua. Can I ask, do you have any guesses?"

Zhou Hao felt relieved. Since Wang Hua was mentioned, he probably knew the other party's purpose.

"I don't have any evidence, but many people in the compound are talking about Wang Hua's situation. I think you can start with Ah Zhen, who is by his side."

"Also... Wang Hua looks a lot thinner and yawns all the time."

Tong Ming's face turned serious when he heard this.

Zhou Hao was a little surprised: "You... don't know?"

Tong Ming smiled bitterly: "I just received some reports that Wang Hua might be involved in some bribery issues. As for what you mentioned... I only learned about it today."

Zhou Hao had previously discovered that something was wrong with Wang Hua, so he reported the matter to the factory's logistics director, Chen Yan, but he only gave a general account of his own guesses.

Chen Yan wanted to investigate, but he was always stopped by the factory leaders...

As time went by, Chen Yan stopped getting involved in this matter.

It was also today that Tong Ming asked someone to ask, and only then did Chen Yan feel relieved and mentioned a little.

Tong Mingdun felt that this matter was difficult: "Thank you, and I have a request. Since there are not many of us here this time, it will take some time for me to mobilize personnel. During this time, can you help me collect some information?"

Although he only exchanged a few short sentences with Zhou Hao, Tong Ming could sense Zhou Hao's sharpness.

Not every ordinary citizen has such observation ability.

He would not mobilize the police force in Y City. Who knows what the other party has planted here? He could only transfer people from the provincial capital. But if he did so, he would have to find someone to inquire about the things here...

Zhou Hao was silent for a while before he slowly nodded.

Zhou Hao could understand why they said they wanted to send more people. After all, Wang Hua was arrested a while ago and then released safely, which showed that Ah Zhen and Wang Hua's infiltration had exceeded their imagination. In this case, sending people from the provincial capital was the most appropriate.

Tong Ming was very grateful to Zhou Hao. He left a phone number for Zhou Hao and left in a hurry.

When Zhou Hao returned home, Jiaojiao and Yangyang were eating egg custard. The two little kids had crumbs at the corners of their mouths. Jiaojiao even whined and called out "Dad", while Yangyang just focused on eating.

Seeing that Zhou Hao didn't look very well, Qian Qing served him a bowl of soup.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong at school?"

Zhou Hao touched his wife's hand. They had been married for three or four years. Compared to when they first got married, their life was much calmer.

But this time...

Zhou Hao felt a little annoyed. In fact, he shouldn't have agreed so quickly.

He has a wife and children, but Wang Hua is fine. When I saw Wang Hua smashing the tricycle, I knew that he was narrow-minded, had no ability, and was not brave enough.

But Ah Zhen next to him is a tough character.

What if the other party gets desperate and captures Qian Qing and the two children?

Can Tong Ming catch all of them at once?

Qian Qing pushed twice before Zhou Hao came back to his senses.

"What happened to you today? Why are you so distracted?"

Zhou Hao was silent for a long time before he asked in a muffled voice, "Nothing."

Seeing the stack of advertising plans scattered on the bed, Zhou Hao suddenly had an idea.

"Wife, aren't you going to be in the commercial? Why don't you take Jiaojiao and Yangyang for a tour of Beijing?"

Qian Qing: "It's just an advertisement, is it worth it for me to make this trip? The train ride is so long, and I took Jiaojiao and Yangyang with me?"

"Then you can take a plane, it's convenient. Didn't our mother say that she was in Beijing recently? She said that Lu Jiaren was going to open an office of a foreign trade company there. You might as well go and take a look... Besides, you can also take a look at the houses there. Didn't you say before that you would buy more houses in the future? You can go and take a look this time, and buy a few if you find suitable ones..."

Qian Qing's hand, which was tidying up the documents on the bed, paused for a moment and turned to look at Zhou Hao.

Just when Zhou Hao thought she was going to question him, he saw Qian Qing put down the things in her hand, and her eyes were very serious. "I don't know what you can't say, but I can imagine that you want me to take the two children away, it must be some trouble."

"But Zhou Hao, I really don't like this feeling."

I was kept in the dark, knowing that the other party was hiding something from me and that I was the protected one, but I couldn't suppress the anxiety and fear in my heart.

Zhou Hao could only slowly repeat his guess.

Qian Qing's eyes widened: "Is Wang Hua so bold?"

There's no such thing as courage. It's just that I got on a pirate boat and couldn't get off.

However, it was difficult to explain these things too clearly, so Zhou Hao still advised Qian Qing to take the two children out to avoid the danger.

"Just in case. After all, if this is true, those people are all desperate criminals..."

In the end, the result of the discussion between the two was that Qian Qing took the child to Beijing, which also gave Zhou Hao some space.

Qian Qing touched Zhou Hao's cheek, then pinched his ear directly: "Okay, no more words. Be careful. And that other person..."

Qian Qing finally understood why she looked at Ah Zhen strangely: "It's okay to contribute to public affairs, but it's not worth using beauty tricks to win over men."

The couple decided to do this, and Qian Qing booked a flight to Beijing. Although she was rich, she had never taken a plane before. She had only flown two or three times before for factory construction. As for going to Hong Kong Island to see the world, she had never been there.

Although she has made a lot of money now, Qian Qing always uses it to buy houses and land.

This time she was taking two kids to Beijing, and she felt a little nervous. Fortunately, Wenlan and Xu Ahua were with her. Jiaojiao jumped outside and pointed outside as soon as she got on the plane, and Yangyang also kept looking around.

Wen Lan sighed: "In the past, we never imagined such a good life, that such a young child can already take a plane. Wen Dongdong was more experienced in flying last time than I was. He said that he went on a trip with Xie Yun during the summer vacation, and they traveled all over the world. Maybe he saw more of the world than I did."

Qian Qing also brought Wu Pandi along this time. It was Wu Pandi's first time to take a plane. After getting over the initial nervousness when she first boarded the plane, Wu Pandi became talkative.

"Life has gotten better. In the past, few people could afford to ride on commercial airliners. Now, everyone can buy tickets and ride on planes. Things will definitely get better in the future. Who knows, maybe even green-skinned trains will speed up."

She recently severed ties with her family, and her eldest sister gradually cheered up and started selling wontons with her daughter. The younger sisters in the family also became more and more motivated. Wu Pandi only realized that people could live this way until now.

At this moment, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, I feel excited.

Qian Qing pinched her delicate little chin, and the other person immediately rubbed his fat face into her palm, yelling something that no one could understand.

"Well, it will definitely get better."

*****

Wang Hua and Azhen were arrested very quickly.

Seeing Qian Qing taking the two children to another place, Ah Zhen took the opportunity to come over, which just fulfilled Zhou Hao's intention.

Keeping in mind what Qian Qing had said before, Zhou Hao did not give Azhen any feedback.

However, in the process, Zhou Hao discovered Tian Xue. It might be difficult to pry open the mouths of A Zhen and Wang Hua, but Tian Xue's defense line was easy to break.

Just like that, when Tian Xue was still trying her best to please the director, the other party had already been warned in advance by Tong Ming.

The words extracted from Tian Xue were enough to characterize Wang Hua and his wife, so Tong Ming arranged for their arrest.

In the tube-shaped building where Wang Hua used to live, Tong Ming and his team dug out DU items disguised as various things.

Ah Zhen watched as all her things were turned out, including the nails and account books she had kept. She knew in her heart that she was doomed.

…

This major case was solved thanks to Tong Ming's quick action, which wiped out all of Ah Zhen's power and even led to several smuggling routes along the coast.

But that’s all for later.

Zhou Hao had made contributions, but Tong Ming did not dare to publicly commend him. He only sent a letter of commendation from the provincial government to the top leaders of the oil field.

This matter has not been spread, but this item has been added to Zhou Hao's file.

So in the second month that Qian Qing was still spending in Beijing, Zhou Hao called her.

"You said the factory decided to transfer you to Beijing?"

Zhou Hao's voice couldn't conceal his excitement.

"Yes! I was transferred to the natural gas development team of the oil field company!"

Qian Qing was also very excited, but then she felt a wave of sweet worry.

"What about your studies?"

"And my store, the design department..."

"We still have rental management for our house..."

"The canteen..."

"Nanyuan..."

Zhou Hao listened to his wife chattering on the phone, and couldn't hide the tenderness in his heart.

"Wife..."

"Um?"

"It's so kind of you."

"...Isn't that nonsense? Where was I just now? By the way, the house in Nanyuan..."

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Okay, there is always a way. Let's be happy for a while now."
