Lin Xiaoxiao went to the first house, and the door happened to be open. The lady of the house was chatting with her neighbor, so Lin Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to go inside. There was no one inside. She walked around for a while, but seeing that the furniture and decorations were all very old, she didn't look at them or investigate them.
Instead, they took a miniature camera and specially assembled it on a framed landscape painting hanging in the living room, installed one under the desk in the study, and finally placed it on a cabinet in the master bedroom.
After finishing, seeing that the people were still talking outside, she walked around a less conspicuous corner of the house. There must be secrets in the home of such a high-ranking official. In the study, she used the wire from her spatial storage to pry open a few cabinets. She glanced inside and found that they were full of documents and some rather old objects. At least on the surface, there was nothing of note.
Lin Xiaoxiao decided not to waste any more time here.
After finishing this one, there were three more left. The first two houses were occupied, and it took her quite a bit of effort to put the miniature cameras on. As for the last house, it seemed like everyone had gone to work, and no one was home. Lin Xiaoxiao wandered around inside for a while before coming out.
After everything was set up, Lin Xiaoxiao went outside and installed miniature cameras in several relatively hidden corners of the courtyard.
Han Qiushi meant that as long as they set up a few of the rivals' houses, their own people wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to get in. But Lin Xiaoxiao thought that since they were already here, it would be better to set up all of them. They needed to keep an eye on the rivals' situation, but no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any disloyal people in their own faction, or people who were just pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao placed miniature cameras in almost every house along the row.
Although she was working in stealth mode, she still felt a little nervous if there were people inside the house. This was no easy task. By the time she finished, she felt a slight sweat on her body. After eating so much in the morning, she felt hungry.
As Lin Xiaoxiao slowly walked to Grandpa Han's courtyard, she intended to find something to eat. However, when she went inside, she found the living room filled with people, mostly elderly people. When these elderly people saw Lin Xiaoxiao, they looked at her with slight admiration, saying, "Oh, your precious little darling has come back from her walk."
"Just call him Grandpa too." Baihehua saw Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned and quickly came over to speak.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, smiled, and called out "Grandpa" to the three or four elderly people. Then, Grandpa Han invited her to chat and eat together.
After Lin Xiaoxiao sat down, listening to their conversation while leisurely eating, Grandpa Han kept nodding inwardly. This granddaughter-in-law was truly capable, and her composure was top-notch. Facing so many big shots, she showed no sign of panic or restraint, doing everything with great poise and confidence. Sometimes she could even chime in with a few words and chat with everyone.
These elderly people are none other than retired folks living in this compound. They often get together to play chess, go fishing, or exercise and maintain their health.
So the old man refused to move over there to live with Bai Hehua and the others. It would be more convenient to eat there, but he still preferred to stay here with company.
One of the elderly people looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with great affection: "Oh my, this child can really eat! It's almost time for dinner, so she shouldn't eat too much."
"It's okay, I'm like that at home too. The baby in my belly gets restless if it doesn't get anything to eat." Lin Xiaoxiao said, pointing to her belly as she ate.
"Since you're going through all this trouble, how can you manage the clothing factory at the same time? I heard you're also planning to set up a bag factory. Can you handle it all? You're such an amazing granddaughter-in-law!"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Sure, I didn't actually do much work at the factory. Everyone else did almost all the work. All I had to do was talk."
"That's great, that's great. I heard the factory's profits are pretty good?"
"If it's inconvenient to say, then I won't. I'm just curious how a factory can support so many people."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "Actually, there's nothing I can't say. Anyone who's been involved in this business can quickly calculate the profits." Lin Xiaoxiao gave the big shots a general overview of the factory.
There's nothing they can't tell you. With their influence, if they want to know the factory's profits and detailed data, all they need to do is give them a word, and plenty of people will compile all that information into a booklet for them to see.
They've retired, not disappeared. As long as they're alive, their energy remains.
There's a saying that goes, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure." This saying also describes elderly people, because you never know what tricks your elders have up their sleeve until the very last moment.
Lin Xiaoxiao spoke candidly about things that interested them. These people already admired Lin Xiaoxiao, and seeing her so open and honest made them even happier.
......
"If you say that, then I'll go to your place and buy some clothes to wear."
"If even an ugly old man like you wants one, then I want one too..."
When Lin Xiaoxiao heard them scrambling to buy clothes produced by the factory, she immediately interrupted them: "You have worked hard for the country your whole lives, how can we let you spend money? I can make the decision, I'll give each of you a set."
These are all big shots, and Lin Xiaoxiao felt honored to see them wearing clothes made in the factory. Not to mention giving them a set, she could even give them several sets. So many big shots wearing factory clothes is definitely free advertising for them.
There's no need to say much; just go out and about, and a huge number of people will discuss and follow suit, just like the great leaders of later generations. If they go out to eat a steamed bun or something, it will immediately set off a trend across the country.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately got up and went to find a measuring tape to take the measurements of the elderly people.
Big shots are different from others; they definitely need to wear custom-made clothes to show their sincerity.
"No, no, no, I was just asking out of curiosity. I don't want your things. What are you thinking, kid?" One of the big shots, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, immediately refused Lin Xiaoxiao's offer to take her measurements.
“That’s right. During the war, we never took a single needle or thread from the people. Now that living conditions are better, there’s even less reason for us to take other people’s things,” said an exceptionally refined-looking old man with a slightly serious expression.
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her heart was deeply moved.
