Qiao Baozhu was delighted, what a coincidence!
She was ready to buy coal at a high price on the black market, but unexpectedly, Qu Yang's family came to her aid.
"The coal at home is almost used up, and I was worrying about where to get the coal ticket. Now I don't have to worry, with you, my little lucky star, we don't have to suffer the cold this winter."
Qu Yang was very excited to be able to help Qiao Baozhu. What made her even happier was that Qiao Baozhu affirmed her value and called her Little Lucky Star.
"Baozhu, the son of one of my dad's patients is the director of a thermal power plant. The thermal power plant burns thousands of tons of coal a day, and it only takes a word from him to buy a few tons of discounted coal from the thermal power plant."
Qu Yang was a simple-minded man, and when Qiao Baozhu gave him a casual compliment, he revealed his father's true colors.
Qiao Baozhu was stunned. How could she say such words casually? It would be terrible if it was spread by someone with ulterior motives.
Qu Yang was still immersed in the excitement of helping others, not knowing that she had invisibly caused trouble for her father.
He waved his hands at the others with a relaxed look on his face: "You are all my colleagues, we are all family. If your family is short of coal in the future, tell me and I will ask my dad to help buy coal at a discounted price."
Han Meijuan and Qu Yang were both unmarried girls. They didn't know much about the household expenses, and they had no idea how outrageous the coal prices outside had risen.
But the other two were housewives. When they heard that Qu Yang could help them buy coal at a special price, they were so excited that they almost shouted out loud.
Qiao Baozhu wanted to stop Qu Yang from speaking in a low profile, but she failed to stop him.
"Xiao Qu, actually my family doesn't have enough coal. During the day, we burn some branches and corn cobs to get by, and then we burn a little more at night when we go to bed."
Zheng Zhaohong spoke first and begged Qu Yang to help his family buy two tons of coal.
"To be honest, we don't want a special price. As long as there is no need for coal coupons, even if it is a little higher than the market price, I can accept it."
Zheng Zhaohong's words were recognized by Ge Qiuhua.
"My family has the same idea. The control of coal tickets is too strict now. This winter is too cold, and there has been a shortage of affordable coal. People have to buy expensive coal on the black market. Everyone in my family, from the elderly to the children, has frostbite. Xiaoqu, I would also like to ask you to help buy two tons of affordable coal."
Other families were short of coal, and Han Meijuan also thought of her own family. Although she didn't know whether her family was short of coal, she knew that her home was not as warm as the store, which showed that her family was also short of coal.
"I, I also want to buy two tons of coal."
Everyone wanted to buy coal, and Qu Yang was extremely happy. She had never been needed and admired as much as she was today, and she had never had such a strong sense of existence.
"Okay, I'll help you all. No matter how much you want to buy, I'll go home and tell my dad and he'll deliver it right away. If any of you need to buy more coal, come find me."
The little girl had never experienced the harshness of society, so she made promises to everyone without hesitation.
Qiao Baozhu quickly covered her mouth and said to everyone with a frown, "She is a child who speaks without restraint. You can't take what she says seriously. She herself said that the mother of the leader of the thermal power plant was a patient of her father. To put it bluntly, it is a doctor-patient relationship. As long as the old lady is alive, this relationship can be maintained. If the old lady is gone, it will be useless in the future."
Everyone nodded in understanding: "You're right, if they're not relatives, you never know when they'll become estranged."
"So, Uncle Qu can help buy coal, probably only this time. Everyone should keep it a secret. Otherwise, if it gets out, everyone will know that Uncle Qu can help buy coal at a special price. Won't they all find ways to find him? If he helps, everyone will be happy. If he can't help, you might end up making an enemy."
When Qiao Baozhu said this, even Qu Yang himself fell silent.
She understood and realized that her impulsiveness would cause a lot of trouble for her father.
Among the people present, except Qu Yang whose life was smooth sailing, everyone else suffered a lot of harm and injustice in their childhood because of their disabilities.
With just a little reminder from Qiao Baozhu, they immediately realized that they could not afford the series of consequences caused by being too high-profile.
Ge Qiuhua was the most timid, and immediately waved his hand and shook his head: "Senior sister is right, I still won't join in the fun, you guys buy it, I will pretend I don't know."
When Han Meijuan saw Ge Qiuhua backing down, she also backed down.
"If Sister Qiuhua doesn't buy it, I won't buy it either. Anyway, we have been living like this for so many years, and no one in my family has frozen to death."
No one or two of them bought it, and Zheng Zhaohong was the only one who still insisted, which made her very embarrassed.
She was the one who first arranged for Tongqu's family to buy coal, but now she says she doesn't want to buy it. Isn't that going back on her word?
Or... Boss Qiao doesn't want them to take advantage of this?
But in just one breath, Zheng Zhaohong changed his mind countless times.
Qiao Baozhu didn't notice Zheng Zhaohong's changing expressions and her attention was always on Qu Yang.
In front of everyone, he told her not to be silly and brag outside about how powerful her parents were and how to get more powerful people to help her family with things.
Qu Yang regards Qiao Baozhu as her idol. She listens carefully to everything Qiao Baozhu says and keeps nodding in agreement.
Qiao Baozhu and Qu Yang were having a heated discussion, and Zheng Zhaohong didn't know how to start.
Knock knock knock
There was a knock on the studio door, and the noise inside stopped abruptly.
Qiao Baozhu opened the door and what came into view was a slightly old face.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The man's face seemed familiar to Qiao Baozhu, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
"Hello, I'm Qu Yang's father, Qu Zhenhua."
The man pushed up his glasses and introduced himself to Qiao Baozhu with a smile on his face.
Qu Zhenhua has always disapproved of his daughter working as a worker in a small clothing store.
Since my daughter started working, she has been in a very happy mood every day and keeps praising how nice Boss Qiao is and how warm the working atmosphere in the store is.
Qu Zhenhua had long wanted to come and see what the charm of Boss Qiao that his daughter mentioned was.
In the morning, his daughter casually mentioned that there was not enough coal in the store, so he offered to help in order to keep his daughter from getting cold.
He protected his daughter so well that she was innocent and not on guard against outsiders.
Just now in the studio, Qu Zhenhua had already anticipated that his colleagues wanted his daughter to help buy discounted coal.
He was even prepared to be surrounded and blocked by relatives and neighbors to help buy coal.
The purpose is to let Qu Yang experience the complexity of human nature firsthand, otherwise even if he talks too much, his daughter still won't learn her lesson.
Qu Zhenhua thought of everything, but he didn't expect Boss Qiao to analyze the interests involved and explain them to his daughter.
Now Qu Zhenhua finally understood why his daughter admired Boss Qiao so much.
Boss Qiao has a broad mind and vision, and is a generous, open-minded and magnanimous person.
Because of her frankness, Qu Zhenhua secretly made up his mind that even if his daughter didn't work here in the future, he would help Boss Qiao as long as he needed help.
