On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qiao San and his friends returned to the city one after another after the New Year celebrations. He Wanqing also arrived in Beijing with Qiao San and his friends.
When Ji Xia went to the train station to pick up He Wanqing, he happened to meet Qiao San and others.
"Sister Xia!" Qiao San led people over to greet Ji Xia. They were carrying each other on their backs and carrying bags, just like the migrant workers they had seen on TV going north and south to work.
"Are you back? How was your New Year?" Ji Xia asked.
"I went back to take a look. When they heard that I came to Jing City, a group of people came from Fu County and wanted to seize my territory. I originally planned to come on the sixth day of the New Year, but I only arrived today to deal with this matter." Qiao San would tell Ji Xia every detail.
Ji Xia had some understanding of Fu County. "Who is this guy? Fu County isn't enough for him, yet he insists on taking over your Bing County's territory?"
Qiao San was also very annoyed. "Yeah, that bastard actually said that I already have commercial grain. Why is he still clinging to that piece of land and trying to take their food? It makes me so angry!"
If killing wasn't against the law, he definitely wouldn't have just broken that bastard's legs.
Is he going to keep clinging to Bing County? He doesn't even consider whose territory Bing County is. As long as Sister Xia doesn't say anything about leaving Bing County alone, Bing County will be under their control.
Ji Xia certainly didn't want any trouble in Bing County, as Bing County could be said to be her foundation.
"Then punish him severely." Ji Xia's voice was a little cold. "Who did you leave in Bing County to watch over him?"
"A younger brother of mine used to be with me. He only has a mother and needs to be taken care of at home as she is old. He was injured this time. I informed Chen Dadong and the others that if anyone dares to invade Bing County again, I will go and poke fun at his lair." Qiao San said.
It was not convenient to talk here, so Ji Xia asked them to go back first.
Ji Xia bought five courtyard houses near the high-speed rail manufacturing plant and rented them all to the factory as welfare housing. Qiao San and his friends occupied one of them. It was quite spacious for nine people to live in, and with no outsiders around, they felt very comfortable.
Qiao San asked He Xiangdong and the others to take their things back first, and he stayed here to accompany Ji Xia and the others. He took into consideration that the person Sister Xia was going to pick up must have luggage, and it should be a woman. He couldn't let two women carry the luggage.
This is the reason why Qiao San has high emotional intelligence, and Ji Xia benefits a lot from it.
She gave the car keys to Qiao San and said, "Drive my car to take the luggage back first, and then come back to pick us up."
Qiao San refused. "No, we're grown men, and we can't even carry our own luggage. The train will arrive soon, and it'll be packed with people, all carrying heavy luggage. I'll stay here and take care of them."
He Xiangdong and others also said, "Sister Xia, our luggage looks big, but it's not heavy. Don't worry about us."
"Okay, be careful on the road. If there's a rickshaw, ask one to take your luggage back. It's inconvenient to carry it on your own on the bus."
Several people were deeply moved.
Ji Xia had never suffered the hardship of traveling, but they had always traveled far and wide, carrying luggage on their shoulders and in their hands. They could carry any amount of luggage and had gotten used to it.
Ten minutes later, the next train arrived at the station and He Wanqing took this train.
When the train stopped, the carriage He Wanqing was in was right in front of where Ji Xia and the others were on the platform. As soon as He Wanqing stood up, Ji Xia saw her and pointed her out to Qiao San, "That's her."
Qiao San saw a girl with a long braid. She was about the same height as Ji Xia, which was considered tall among women, about 1.68 meters. She had a gentle appearance and a pair of big, watery eyes with clear black and white, and a bright and lively look.
Qiao San was so amazed that he didn't think about it anymore and hurried into the carriage to move He Wanqing's luggage.
"Wanqing, Wanqing!" Ji Xia shouted loudly.
The carriage blocked out the sound, but the two best friends had a tacit understanding. He Wanqing looked up and saw Ji Xia. Ji Xia pointed at someone at her, and He Wanqing saw the tall man going against the current.
She guessed that this person was the one Ji Xia had called to help carry her luggage, so she didn't hesitate. She only carried a military satchel herself and stuffed the rest into Qiao San's hands. Then, like a catfish, she squeezed through the crowd and skipped to Ji Xia's side, holding her hand. "Xia Xia, it's great! I'm finally back. From now on, we won't have to be apart."
Ji Xia was also very happy to see her best friend, "Are you done with the project over there?"
"Well, I brought you a big box of sanitary napkins this time. I'll give them to you in a while. They're so easy to use, Emma. You don't need to use those menstrual pads anymore. To be honest, every time I use that thing, I get goose bumps all over my body, and I have to wash it by hand. Emma, I can't even eat when I hear about it."
As she spoke, He Wanqing kept fanning herself with her hands, as if the smell was still at the tip of her nose.
Ji Xia was amused by her exaggerated actions, mainly because even in this age, she had never used that thing.
"Okay, then I'll take advantage of you. How do you sell it? How are things arranged in Teng County?"
After all, it was a project that Ji Xia wanted to work on, so Ji Xia couldn't help but ask about it.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged! A bag of ten tablets for day use costs 1.3 yuan, and a bag of three tablets for night use costs 1.5 yuan. This is the domestic sales price.
It's mainly for export. We've already sent a batch out through the port in Bing County, about $100,000 worth. Don't worry, the people in Teng County are so happy they even gave me a 500 yuan reward."
Five hundred dollars is a huge sum of money these days!
Originally, Teng County was reluctant to let He Wanqing leave. At such a young age, she was able to take on such a big project. Her ability was simply amazing. Previously, people thought she had used Ji Xia's backdoor.
Later, everyone found out that it was indeed Ji Xia's relative, but the other person's abilities were definitely impressive!
Thanks to He Wanqing, the Zhuzhuang Brigade project was finally able to go into production smoothly and did not drag down the entire sanitary napkin project. Although they were all educated youth who went to the countryside, He Wanqing's ability surpassed all the others.
When they learned that she was coming to Beijing to work on Ji Xia's project, Xu Sandang and his friends knew they couldn't keep her, but they were happy to see it happen. They had a close relationship with He Wanqing, and with her by Ji Xia's side, the project in Tengzhou would hopefully receive special attention.
They never dreamed that He Wanqing came to Beijing to engage in a rice planting project.
Ji Xia also knew that the sanitary napkin project had been going smoothly, and with He Wanqing around, she didn't have to worry at all.
Even if they cannot be sold domestically, the production line invested in is very advanced. The sanitary napkins are thin and light with wings, which are different from the current ones that are bulging with a large amount of absorbent cotton stuffed inside.
No worries about not being able to sell it.
"I've already contacted the president of Kyoto University. You can take a few days off and go there whenever you want to work."
Ji Xia saw that her best friend looked very tired. Although she came by sleeper, she was alone and was afraid that her luggage would be stolen and she was afraid of encountering kidnappers, so she almost didn't sleep a wink the whole way.
