Lin Chen and Director Zhang reached an agreement. As they left the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up.
"You're really something, where did you learn so many tricks?"
Lin Chen scratched the back of his head, remembering Boss Biao.
"I learned it from Master Biao. Every time he appears, he has this kind of pretentious style."
Jiang Ning felt guilty. Was this really the image of Master Biao?
She only exaggerated because Lin Chen was a soldier and had exceptional observational skills; she never expected him to have this kind of impression.
The next day, Director Zhang arrived at the textile factory gate as promised.
Lin Chen, who plays the character Blackie, also arrived shortly afterward.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Director Zhang waited outside for more than an hour, and the security guard looked at him like he was a thief.
He has already tactically drunk two bottles of soda.
While he was waiting, many more people arrived, all wanting to place orders at the factory.
Some people offered cigarettes to the gatekeeper, others offered him alcohol, but they were all kicked out.
The old man said, "My company has a rule that I must be notified by someone from the company before I can enter the factory."
Seeing his anxiety, Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Wait a little longer. I have already sent someone to contact their factory manager."
He was expressionless now, no longer the roguish man he was yesterday, giving off a sense of profound mystery.
Jiang Ning has already gone to the factory to find He Xiao.
Director Zhang sighed inwardly, "These days, you really need connections to get anything done."
He couldn't even get through the door; others met directly with the factory manager.
When Jiang Ning met He Xiao, she first asked about Song Jia's situation.
He Xiao forced a smile: "I feel much better, but my memory hasn't returned yet."
"Take it slow, things will definitely get better. Have you found out the source of the poison?"
“It must be formaldehyde. I secretly investigated and found that a bottle of formaldehyde went missing from the lab half a month ago. They were afraid of being punished, so they didn't report it. So much time has passed, and there's no way to find out who got the formaldehyde.” He Xiao slammed his fist on the desk in frustration.
Jiang Ning showed slight surprise and continued:
"So it was formaldehyde. It's hard to trace who came into contact with it, so we can only start with Song Jia. Spread the word to the factory about Song Jia's amnesia, and wait for the fish to bite."
He Xiao nodded, and after a moment remembered the purpose of her trip, he took her to the supply and marketing department.
He introduced Jiang Ning to the head of the supply and marketing department and asked them to quickly arrange for 20,000 meters of Dacron fabric to be shipped out immediately.
The section chief was unhappy, but He Xiao had personally given him the task, so he had no choice but to comply and then passed the job on to Xue Mei.
When Xue Mei heard that He Xiao had introduced her, she was very enthusiastic towards Jiang Ning at first.
"Comrade Jiang, you and Director He are quite familiar with each other?"
"Not very familiar."
"How could that be? He doesn't easily give people special treatment. Next time, invite her out, and let's all have a meal together."
"Song Jia and I are friends, should we call her out too?"
Jiang Ning's tone had become somewhat unfriendly.
The moment she saw Xue Mei, she recognized her. Wasn't this the girl with the vicious look in her eyes on Song Jia's wedding day?
Is she interested in He Xiao?
She strongly suspected that Song Jia's poisoning was related to this woman.
When Xue Mei heard that she was Song Jia's friend, her expression immediately changed. She had originally said she would take her to pay the money, but then said she had something else to do and needed to wait.
Jiang Ning could tell she was deliberately stalling, so she said with a fake smile:
"Then I'll wait for you at the finance department entrance. If it takes too long, I'll have to trouble Director He again."
I want to deliberately ignore her; let's see if she has the guts.
After leaving the supply and marketing department, Jiang Ning went to the entrance of the textile factory and called Director Zhang inside.
The gatekeeper watched Jiang Ning lead him inside without uttering a single word.
A lot of discussion followed, with people saying, "Why was he allowed in?"
"Let's go pay the money. We agreed that we'd pay, you'd stamp the document, and we'd split the goods in half. Once inside, don't ask anything, don't say anything, just do whatever I tell you to do," Jiang Ning instructed him.
Director Zhang was frightened by this display and followed behind her in a state of fear and trepidation.
When they arrived at the finance department, Xue Mei happened to walk over as well.
She was also afraid that Jiang Ning would go to He Xiao again and say some nonsense in front of him, ruining her good image in He Xiao's mind.
He Xiao gave her the same ex-factory price as he gave others, which was 1.2 yuan per foot, and gave her 20,000 feet.
This is already much higher than the previous ex-factory price, but people are still scrambling to place orders.
After paying the money and receiving the delivery slip, Jiang Ning said to Director Zhang:
"You can go now, I need to go pick up the goods. You go back to the supply and marketing cooperative first and prepare the payment."
Director Zhang had no choice but to comply.
He didn't need to worry about Lin Chen embezzling the goods, because the truck that came to pick up the goods was sent by him, a truck from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Ning followed Xue Mei to the warehouse to pick up the goods.
The warehouse manager seemed to have received instructions from Xue Mei in advance and was very uncooperative, saying that there were still several units of goods to be shipped and that she should wait.
Xue Mei feigned helplessness: "There's nothing I can do. There are just too many people coming to pick up their goods, and we simply can't keep up."
"Then let the car drive in first, I'll stack them myself," Jiang Ning insisted.
Xue Mei pouted: "I can't say for sure either. You should discuss it with Sister Zhang. I have to go now."
She simply passed the task to the warehouse manager.
Sister Zhang, a woman in her forties, rolled her eyes when she saw Jiang Ning wearing a beautiful, fashionable dress.
"Just wait, I have a lot of work to do."
Jiang Ning stood aside, waiting patiently.
She didn't seem particularly busy; she was just writing and drawing in her notebook while chatting with her colleague at the next table.
"Let me tell you, kids these days are so competitive. My daughter's classmate had a relative abroad send her a hair clip with diamonds, it was sparkly and she brought it to school. My daughter was so envious she cried."
After I got back, she kept pestering me for food, refusing to eat unless I gave it to her, and she hasn't spoken to me for two days now.
"Go to a department store and take a look. It's just a hair clip, how expensive could it be?"
"Don't look down on hair clips. They're not sold in regular stores, only in foreign exchange markets. I heard they cost fifty yuan each!"
"My god, that's equivalent to two months of my salary."
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Ning smiled and took a hair clip out of her pocket.
"Sister Zhang, I just bought one a while ago. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
When Sister Zhang saw the hair clip, her eyes lit up immediately; the tiny rhinestones on it almost blinded her.
"That's not right. People in our positions can't accept bribes or favors." Sister Zhang glanced at her colleague and refused with a stiff expression.
When the colleague saw the hair clip, his eyes lit up, and he quickly advised:
"Look, someone's offering you a pillow when you're sleepy. To make your daughter happy, why don't you buy it?"
Sister Zhang looked delighted; this was a great idea. She quickly asked:
"Can I buy it with my own money? I just got paid this morning, can you give me a discount, twenty yuan?"
Jiang Ning smiled and agreed, "No problem at all, twenty it is. As for the goods I want..."
While hurriedly taking out her money, Sister Zhang replied, "I'll arrange it for you right away!"
