Chapter 164 This makes people feel awkward
"I can get to where I am today thanks to Sister Dai's guidance. No matter how busy or tired I am, I will never forget Sister Dai's kindness." Yan Biao smiled heartily and asked Secretary Yang to put the gift on the table.
Dai Qing looked at his expression and raised her eyebrows, "You didn't come here just to wish me a happy new year, did you?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Sister Dai. This is what happened. I went to the capital this time and met Mr. Dong, also known as Dong Zhen. He is the son of an official, but he was not interested in the officialdom, so he went into business and has a lot of resources in his hands."
"You know, to do business now, besides a smart mind, you also need strong connections. These are what I lack the most, so I took advantage of the Chinese New Year to go to the capital, hoping to get closer to Mr. Dong."
"I signed a big order from him last year. The quality of the fabrics is very good, and the dyeing is in line with the trend. If I can cooperate with them for a long time, it will only benefit my small company. During the conversation, I found that he, like me, is a big believer in fate, so..."
At this point, Yan Biao looked at Dai Qing with an embarrassed expression and cleared his throat uncomfortably.
"I couldn't help but tell you about Sister Dai. Boss Dong is very interested and wants you to take a look. But don't worry, the reward will definitely not be small."
Dai Qing looked at her quietly, with an indifferent expression, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry.
From the moment she met Yan Biao, she saw through him, that he was a person who put profit above all else. She was not angry, because in principle, the two of them had no other relationship except for a few transactions.
It's just more familiar than a stranger.
"Don't be angry, Sister Dai. I think in your line of work, as long as someone invites you, there is money to be made. The more customers you have, the more money you can earn. Although Boss Dong looks difficult to approach, he is a serious businessman. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to go, I will cover the round-trip tickets and accommodation."
As he spoke, Yan Biao took a red envelope from Secretary Yang and placed it on the table.
"This is my unilateral thank you money. If Sister Dai agrees, please tell me a time and I will buy the tickets immediately."
Listening to Yan Biao's proposal, Dai Qing glanced at the red envelope and mentally considered opening it. She was now a regular employee of the textile factory, with 21 days of annual leave each year. It shouldn't be a big problem to ask the team leader to take a week off.
It's just the Chinese New Year, not many people are taking a break, so it's definitely a good idea to take a leave.
"It's okay to go, but I have to ask for leave from the factory first and see what the factory's arrangements are."
Just like Yan Biao said, there is money to be made, why would she refuse?
"That's no problem. Of course, it depends on Sister Dai's schedule. Whenever you have a day off, you can come over. I'm always waiting for you." Upon hearing Dai Qing's agreement, Yan Biao's eyes lit up and he almost stood up with excitement.
I thought it would take a lot of effort, but it turned out to be so smooth. It's true that dealing with smart people is easy.
"Then wait for my message. I'll call you when I've arranged a time." Dai Qing glanced at the antenna mobile phone in Secretary Yang's hand and the beeper on his waist.
"Secretary Yang, please quickly get another business card for Sister Dai and wait for her call at any time." Yan Biao greeted her, stood up, and personally handed the business card to Dai Qing before leaving with satisfaction.
Dai Qing closed the door and wrote down Yan Biao's phone number in her notebook before opening the red envelope. It contained only two thousand yuan, which was quite generous.
Thinking of Dong Zhen in the capital, although she had never met him, Yan Biao and his men were almost beaten to death last time because of him.
The fact that so many people are vying for Dong Zhen shows that he has abundant resources.
She originally wanted to make a living by fortune-telling. With just one trip, she could earn nearly a year's salary for others. Why not do it?
With a plan in mind, Dai Qing asked for leave directly to Team Leader Zhang when she got to work.
"You're taking annual leave just after starting work? Did something happen?" Team leader Zhang looked at her with concern in his eyes. Since Dai Qing came to their team, she has worked diligently and seriously and has never asked for leave.
"I do have some things to deal with, so I want to take a week off. I heard that our factory has 21 days of annual leave, and now that I have just started working, it should be convenient to deploy personnel."
Dai Qing said sincerely that she would quit her job and concentrate on physiognomy once she saved more money.
"Yes, we have the man. I'll report to the foreman first and see how to arrange it. I'll try to transfer him out to you." Seeing that she didn't explain the reason, Team Leader Zhang didn't force her.
"Then I'll trouble you, Team Leader. Please do it as soon as possible. I want to finish it as soon as possible and come back."
Watching the team leader turn around and go to the office, Dai Qing returned to her post to continue blocking cars. Just after she unloaded a cotton roll, Mao Yanyan came over with two cotton barrels.
"Xiaoqing, I listened to you and told my aunt everything."
Dai Qing: “…”
What does it mean to listen to her? It’s up to her whether to listen to her suggestions or not.
Although what Mao Yanyan said sounded correct, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Aunt Mao loves you so much, she will definitely help you handle it."
"Yeah, although my aunt is angry at me for not living up to my expectations, she also thinks that Yu Dapeng deliberately hurt me and has a bad character. She also praised you for being smart and said that she would take you home for dinner after we get off work so that she could thank you in person."
"...No need. I told you this because I treat you as a friend. I don't expect your gratitude. Don't mention this matter again in the future. I will pretend that I don't know anything about it." Dai Qing looked at her and refused directly.
Mao Yanyan was young and simple-minded, and she was at a loss, so she told her everything. But as a parent, she certainly didn't want outsiders to know too much.
The fact that she could find such a marriage for Mao Yanyan proved that they both valued similar things.
Letting her go to the dinner was nothing more than a warning to her not to talk too much and ruin Mao Yanyan's reputation.
Although she handled the matter unsatisfactorily, she was not a fool and naturally understood Aunt Mao's intention of asking her to go for dinner.
As expected, when Dai Qing said this, Mao Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, "My aunt cooks delicious food, so why don't you go over there? After dinner, we can go to the park to play."
"Really, no need. I just asked for leave from my team leader. I have to go on a long trip, so I really don't have time."
"Where are you going if you want to take a leave?" Mao Yanyan was stunned and asked curiously.
"I have something to do in the capital." Dai Qing did not hide the fact of the trip, which made her give up.
"Okay then, I'll go back and tell my aunt."
Watching Mao Yanyan leave, Dai Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Did this mean she had failed in making friends?
When she turned off the phone to eat, she found that Sister Ou had recovered her energy and was talking non-stop. Everyone sat together, listening to her gossip with great interest and agreeing with her from time to time.
Although what Sister Ou said was a bit exaggerated, every word was true.
Listening to Sister Ou's endless chatter, Dai Qing was very confused. Everyone was going to work and coming home, so how did she get so much gossip?
