Chapter 254 The Secret Room Under the Stove
After such a big bomb exploded, Su Mo was also very confused. She didn't feel happy at all even after finding her Rolex watch.
After putting the watch and the diary in the space, Su Mo thought about it and decided to pretend that she knew nothing. They would get along the same way as before.
After she came here, Geng Changqing's attitude towards her has always been the attitude towards the younger generation. It is estimated that he didn't care about the original owner's youthful impulse.
Then just be open and pretend that nothing happened, so that no one will be embarrassed. Let this little episode disappear in the torrent of time.
After figuring it out, Su Mo fiddled with the secret compartments of the cabinets and wardrobes, but unfortunately they were all empty. She didn't find anything. She didn't know whether it was taken away by someone or there was nothing in it in the first place.
Around 2pm, Han Jianchang and the driver came to pick up Su Mo and first took her to the R&D department to see the newly developed patterns.
At this time, the level of textile and dyeing technology in China was still far behind that of foreign countries. Foreign merchants bought textiles from China because they were more interested in the low prices, and most of them bought grey cloth and dyed it themselves.
The country itself was short of cloth, and it was difficult for people to get clothes. Su Mo felt painful to sell so much grey cloth at a low price.
Although the fabrics with patterns were expensive, the dyeing technology was not as good as that of foreign countries. The dyed colors were not bright enough, and the patterns were not favored by foreign merchants. When Su Mo communicated with them before, she suggested that the textile factory change its thinking and not pursue bright colors, but focus on the patterns.
China has so many years of history, and the things of our ancestors, just taking some out, is enough to amaze those foreigners.
The leaders of the printing and dyeing department of the textile factory did not have no ideas, but they did not dare to do it before, fearing that people would say that they were restoring capitalism and remnants of feudalism.
Now that the second leader has spoken, and the Foreign Trade Center is in charge, everything is to create foreign exchange for the country, so naturally they let go. When Su Mo saw the samples dyed this time, her eyes lit up. Even if it was put in the future, it would be unconventional.
At the same time, she also lamented that too many talents were buried in this period.
If this leader of the printing and dyeing department were put in the future, he would definitely be a talent that all textile factories would compete for.
Su Mo expressed her love for these patterns positively. In her opinion, these fabrics will definitely be a big hit at the autumn trade fair.
The director of the printing and dyeing department was relieved when he saw that everyone in the foreign trade center said it was good. He was under a lot of pressure to come up with these patterns. He even issued a military warrant in front of the factory leaders. If it didn't work, he would be severely punished.
During the meeting, Director Zhong looked at these patterns and was a little hesitant.
"Comrade Su Mo, do you really think these patterns will be liked by foreign businessmen?" Director Zhong was a retired soldier. He was a straight man and had no aesthetic sense. In his opinion, bright colors should be good-looking.
He mainly considered the problem of sales.
It is impossible to send these fabrics to the exhibition with only samples. They must be produced in batches first. In this way, if there are foreign merchants who place orders for small quantities, they can be delivered immediately, so that they don't have to wait for every bit of goods, which will make foreign merchants think that their production capacity is problematic.
These patterns will definitely not sell well in China. Who dares to wear them abroad? If foreign merchants don't want them, then this batch of fabrics can only be stored in the warehouse. Who will bear the loss of this batch?
"From my understanding, I think they will like it." Su Mo said.
Director Zhong started to think in his heart. The Su family is used to seeing good things. Su Tingqian has studied abroad. He must understand foreigners' preferences better than those of them who have never been abroad.
With this in mind, Director Zhong made the decision, "Okay, then produce a batch according to the pattern suggested by Comrade Su Mo."
Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this. This was to drag her into this. If the products were not selling well, they would put the blame on her, saying that it was her suggestion.
Although she was optimistic about this batch of patterns, Director Zhong's approach made her feel uncomfortable.
"I just suggested the pattern based on my own understanding. I don't know about production. Whether or not to produce and how much to produce still has to be decided by you, Director Zhong." Su Mo said.
Director Zhong laughed, "Of course, I also believe in your vision, Comrade Su Mo."
After the meeting, the textile factory treated Su Mo to dinner and sent a car to take her back to the villa.
There is more than one textile factory in Haishi, a total of 37, of which 9 have products that can reach export quality. During her time in Haishi, Su Mo had to visit all 9 factories.
The next day, Su Mo went to other textile factories, still observing the patterns and giving suggestions. After three or four days of busy work, she had visited most of the textile factories, leaving only the last three.
Those three factories were far away, and Su Mo was not going to live in the villa.
Since she moved into the villa, she realized that she was being watched. So these days, every night when she came back, she would carry tools to the other two villas for cleaning.
When she went there for the first time, she left some subtle marks. When she went there again the next day, those marks had been destroyed, indicating that someone had entered after she left.
After Su Mo finished cleaning, she still left some marks. The next day, someone went in again.
But starting from the third day, all the marks were intact, which means that those people came in to search for two days and found nothing. They must have believed that Su Mo was really here to clean the bathroom.
This was the opportunity that Su Mo was waiting for.
On this day, after Su Mo came back, she went there to clean the bathroom again.
The main house had been cleaned, so Su Mo also cleaned up the maid's room and the kitchen. The kitchens here all use the structure of a connected stove, and the entrance to the secret room is in the stove.
Those people probably didn't expect that someone would set the entrance to the secret room in the stove, so they searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
Su Mo changed her clothes, put the big pot on the stove into the space, and carefully collected the ashes in the stove, which she would have to sprinkle again later.
After that, Su Mo drilled into the stove from the pot, took a hammer and a screwdriver, and took out the bricks under the stove one by one. Soon, a hole sealed by a wooden board was revealed.
Su Mo also put the wooden board into the space, waited for a while to let the air circulate for a while, then turned on the flashlight and stepped on the rope ladder on the wall of the cave to go down.
It was only about four or five meters deep, and Su Mo went down quickly. After coming down, there was a passage about one meter wide. After walking along the passage for a few meters, a door appeared.
There was a lock on the door. Su Mo didn't have a key, but it didn't bother her. She took the tools and poked it open in a few seconds.
After opening the door, there was a secret room filled with wooden boxes. It was estimated that there were at least thirty or forty boxes. Su Mo didn't have time to look at them. She put them all in the space first, then locked the door and went out the same way.
After coming up, Su Mo put the wooden board back on, laid the bricks again, and added some cement in the gaps. Su Mo
got this cement from her family’s yard. That day, she came back from asking Su Tingqian for the entrance, and happened to run into the family members in the same row who were repairing the floor with cement. Su Mo took the opportunity to ask for some, saying that some places in the house also needed to be repaired.
Su Mo didn’t ask for much, so they gave it to her. After taking it home, Su Mo put it away when no one was around.
Now, it comes in handy.
After laying the bricks, Su Mo scattered the stove ashes that she had collected before back in a similar pattern, and finally put the pot back, and everything returned to its original state. After changing her clothes and
cleaning the kitchen again, Su Mo returned with her cleaning stuff in her arms.
