Chapter 238 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Zhou Huaiyi asked someone to buy a soft sleeper for the round trip, for fear that Huang Ling would be too tired.
On the train, when Zhou Huaiyi saw Huang Ling take out the notebook, he knew that his good wife never went on a wasted trip.
Whenever you go out, you must kill two birds with one stone. If you are not afraid of hard work, you can kill three birds with one stone.
He glanced at the small notebook, which was full of time, addresses, phone numbers and names.
I didn’t dare ask, I didn’t dare ask at all, for fear of being scared to death.
Zhou Huaiyi could only think of one word to describe Huang Ling: courageous.
After Huang Ling carefully checked the itinerary, she looked up at Zhou Huaiyi. Seeing that he looked nervous, she looked at him inquiringly.
"Uh... I thought... it was just... based on the school..."
"Director Zhou, you still don't know me well enough. No matter what, I must at least earn back the expenses of this trip." Huang Ling closed the notebook.
"Okay, I only have one thing you must promise me." Zhou Huaiyi took a deep breath.
"Just one," Huang Ling retorted mischievously.
"Yes, just one thing! I will accompany you wherever you go. There is no such thing as acting separately. Don't even think about it." Zhou Huaiyi gave a warning first.
He knew that he couldn't refuse Huang Ling's request, and with her intelligence, she could come up with countless reasons to push him away.
Huang Ling smiled and said, "Together, we must be together."
Only then did Zhou Huaiyi feel relieved.
When they went to the school to inquire about the situation, someone actually came to greet them at the door.
Huang Ling discovered that what Zhou Huaiyi took was not the letter of introduction from the machinery factory, but another kraft paper envelope.
She took a quick glance and knew it was Commander Feng.
With this letter of introduction, the two met the admissions staff directly.
Huang Ling brought the transcripts of Tunan High School for two years, as well as the pre-examination transcripts and physical examination forms. The key question was whether mild color deficiency would affect her application for the Department of Architecture.
The answer is yes, mild color blindness will not have any impact and I can apply for the exam normally.
But Huang Ling was not reassured.
After she confirmed it again and again, the contact person arranged by Chief Feng called the deputy director of the Department of Architecture. It was class time at that time and the person happened to be in school.
Huang Ling was a little panicked, but Zhou Huaiyi looked calm and gestured for her to stay calm.
She suddenly felt like she was back in her graduation thesis defense.
Huang Ling showed the deputy director Tunan's design drawings and urban construction plans. These were all things Huang Ling had encouraged him to learn while he worked on them. Although these plans seemed immature to the teacher, coming from a high school student without any formal training, they were quite impressive.
The school teachers were very impressed and expressed their admiration.
I admire their responsibility as parents. They even traveled all the way from Suzhou to Beijing for this matter.
I also marvel at the uniqueness of this family. In addition to their financial foundation, they also have foresight.
This was the first time they had seen children undergoing physical examinations in advance. Generally, students had to wait for the school to make unified arrangements, and by the time any problems were discovered, it was already too late.
This is also the first time I have seen a child’s hobby elevated to a semi-professional level.
"We are willing to pay any price. We don't want our child to lose the opportunity to attend such a good school. He deserves it." Huang Ling told the deputy director.
The deputy director replied, "We don't want to lose such a good student either. Don't worry, as long as your child passes the admissions test, our department will definitely accept him."
Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi were relieved.
Back at the guesthouse, Huang Ling shook Zhou Huaiyi's hand and said, "You're hiding it quite well. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Let me take charge of the situation for once!" Zhou Huaiyi arrived at the place and made a phone call to confirm that people took it seriously and would help, only then did he feel relieved.
"I actually know I should ask Commander Feng, but I don't dare. I know you dare." Huang Ling made a blind guess. Both of Commander Feng's children went to university in Beijing. But she didn't say anything. She also made a blind guess that Zhou Huaiyi would help.
"I also know that you know that I dare, so I didn't tell you. With your brain, how could you not figure it out? You said I was hiding very deeply, but you are hiding in the center of the earth." Zhou Huaiyi held her hand.
"Hahaha! It's so much easier to be with smart people." Huang Ling praised.
Now that the big things are done, it’s time to make money.
When they arrived at the warehouse rented by Qin Yaohua, Zhou Huaiyi gritted his teeth and said:
"Mr. Huang! You're amazing! Do you think this is just to earn enough money for a business trip? How much money do you need to bring so much stuff? Are you planning to earn enough money to cover your business trip expenses for the rest of your life?"
"Oh, now it's here, just a little bit at a time." Huang Ling laughed.
She cooperated with Qin Yaohua, a Shanghai businessman who was equally bold. Not long ago, they started looking for people to bring clothing and textiles to Beijing in batches. Some of them were orders that Qin Yaohua had obtained after several trips, and some were samples, which they would deliver to hesitant customers.
Huang Ling is a professional who helped introduce and explain things to eliminate their concerns.
When Huang Ling returned to Suzhou, there were already many new orders in her bag.
"I'm so busy, so busy. I have to hire more people, otherwise the sisters in the factory will lose their hands and go blind." Huang Ling murmured there.
As the country becomes more and more open, there will be more and more small textile workshops, which will soon threaten Huang Ling's business in Suzhou and surrounding towns, especially some small orders that focus on price rather than quality, so she has to expand her business outside the city before that happens.
It is difficult for these small workshops to go too far in a short period of time, but she can.
The parts factory mainly produces spare parts and has already done some business with small home appliance factories, so there is no problem in supporting the factories. At the same time, they hired technical experts from home appliance factories other than Lin Wufeng, and began to try to make practical small appliances such as table lamps, alarm clocks, and electronic watches for sale in surrounding counties and cities, and the sales were also very good.
After handling the goods and collecting the payment, the two returned to Suzhou.
There were not many people in the sleeper car they bought for the return trip, and there were only two of them in this room, so the whole journey was not too tiring.
It would be a shame to come back from a trip to Beijing empty-handed, so we went on a shopping spree. We had two luggage bags when we left, and two more large suitcases when we came back.
At that time, the suitcases were really "leather" suitcases, made of leather, with strong knots, but heavy.
I was afraid that the things I bought would be crushed, so I had to use a suitcase. Anyway, Tuanan was going to college, so the suitcase would be useful.
Seeing Zhou Huaiyi struggling to carry the suitcase, Huang Ling suddenly had an idea and started introducing the suitcase with wheels.
Zhou Huaiyi nodded repeatedly when he heard this idea:
"Otherwise, let's open a luggage factory! If we make luggage with wheels, it will definitely sell well."
The plan for a new factory was thus finalized.
The afternoon train arrived in Suzhou, and Li Yiming and Zhou Huaiyi's comrade Chen Wenfu drove a small truck to pick them up.
When the two of them got off the train, they felt that they had too much luggage to handle with both hands, but now Huang Ling was standing aside with nothing to do.
It is true that there is strength in numbers.
Now that I have a car, I don’t need to find a cart to take things home.
It’s great to have a car.
