Jia Yue sat there quietly for about half an hour before someone noticed her, and more and more people gradually gathered around.
Jia Yue picked up the prepared utensils and began to brew tea. Her movements were fluid and graceful, showing her exceptional skill. These days, foreign merchants who could come to purchase tea all had some background and were knowledgeable about tea.
Seeing Jia Yue's actions, the price of the tea instantly went up, regardless of anything else. They tasted the tea on the large table, which was of high quality, but their attention was drawn to the low table inside.
A beautiful woman brewing tea adds a unique charm.
They dared not have any other thoughts, but they could always think about things while drinking tea.
Yin Zheng started negotiating prices, production volume, and sentiment with them. Half a day later, he had sold half of the tea. The prices were lower than the cheaper ones, which were only a few dozen yuan per kilogram, while the more expensive ones, such as the tea from the ancient tea trees that Yin Zheng mentioned, sold for several hundred yuan per kilogram.
The tea is good, but it's only worth this price because he knows how to hype it up.
The countries surrounding our country are not short of money, and they have no trouble selling their finest tea. Yin Zheng not only sells tea, but also the stories behind the tea, and he knows all of these stories.
Tea merchants know they won't get a good deal, so they're willing to pay. After all, it's more expensive than before, and they can still make a profit. Moreover, if they package Yin Zheng's words well, they can reap even greater profits later.
After selling a batch of tea, Jia Yue entertained several tea merchants, with Yin Zheng accompanying her. During the event, Jia Yue barely spoke, prioritizing style.
The same procedure was followed in the afternoon.
This event lasted for two days, and all the tea prepared by the tea industry department was sold out.
Just as Jia Yue was thinking that she probably didn't need to come tomorrow, Yin Zheng arrived with a thin, middle-aged man.
"Comrade Xu Jiayue, this is Director Zhang Hui from the Ministry of Foreign Trade."
Jia Yue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hello, Director Zhang, who are you looking for?"
"The work of the tea department was completed ahead of schedule and exceeded expectations. According to the organization's investigation, you and Team Leader Yin made great contributions. I wonder if Comrade Xu could stay and help out. Of course, Team Leader Yin is also here."
Jia Yue glanced at Yin Zheng. Judging from his expression, she knew there was nothing wrong with the matter and it would only benefit her. So she smiled and nodded, "I will follow the organization's arrangements."
“They are all good comrades. You are familiar with Team Leader Yin, and you are still working under Team Leader Yin.”
"Yes, Director."
After giving some instructions, Director Zhang left. After he left, Jia Yue asked Yin Zheng, "What happened?"
"This exhibition was originally organized by the Ministry of Foreign Trade. This time, the foreign exchange earnings from tea exceeded expectations. After conducting an investigation, the Ministry of Foreign Trade decided to temporarily second me to work at the Ministry of Foreign Trade for a period of time."
"Just working for a period of time?"
Yin Zheng smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you. After the exhibition ends, I'll probably be transferred to a different job."
The Ministry of Foreign Trade is much better than the tea industry sector.
Of course, there are always better departments. Yin Zheng wandered around in more departments, and that's how he built up his network of connections.
After working in Beijing for a few years, and then taking the opportunity to further my studies, I'll be able to properly govern a region.
Jia Yue: "Congratulations, you've taken another step forward in your work."
"Tongxi, you did a great job this time too. The foreign trade department is short of capable people, so they might keep you."
"Let's wait for the organization's instructions!"
Working within the system is naturally better than working in the publicity department of a daily chemical factory; the salary and benefits are better, and there are also many hidden perks.
For the next few days, the two of them were busy, mainly in charge of hospitality. They worked together well and secured many orders, all at prices that exceeded expectations.
Such individuals with impeccable family backgrounds are exactly what the Ministry of Foreign Trade needs.
Jia Yue's maternal grandparents were intellectuals, but they were both native-born intellectuals who worked as technicians in a machinery factory. Moreover, they passed away before the movement even began.
According to the investigation of her father's lineage, they really were eight generations of poor people.
Jia Yue sometimes wondered if Xu Jiancheng was only good for this one thing!
After finishing her work at the exhibition, Jia Yue didn't even have time to return to the daily chemical factory to start working again before her new job assignment came down, and she joined the foreign trade department.
When the news came out, her colleagues were shocked, and the people in the courtyard looked at her with more envy and even jealousy.
He came from the same compound, and that was the Ministry of Foreign Trade! All the goods for the Friendship Store had to go through the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Putting aside everything else, it was very lucrative!
She started making friends with many people again.
She stated publicly that she was not considering marriage in the short term, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of her neighbors.
Just because there isn't a suitable candidate at home doesn't mean there aren't any relatives. To some extent, Jia Yue is highly sought after. If the introduction goes through, a connection is formed. These days, matchmakers are quite important. Well-off and particular families will even give gifts to the matchmaker during holidays.
Jia Yue felt she should move.
Because refusing is useless, and even giving them the cold shoulder is useless. It's not that they don't understand what you're saying, but they stubbornly believe that as long as you talk to them enough, there's a chance of success.
"Yin Zheng, does the Foreign Trade Department have employee dormitories?"
"Is there a problem with your accommodation?"
"I've had a lot of visitors lately, so I'd like some peace and quiet."
Yin Zheng then said, "Under normal circumstances, the company will only arrange accommodation after you have worked for a year. I have a house near the company. It's not big. It's a detached house with a courtyard and four rooms. No one has lived there for a long time."
Jia Yue fell silent, wondering if it was appropriate for her to live in his house.
But then again, the two are already entangled, so whether they stay or not seems to make no difference.
Jia Yue didn't think it was a huge favor, and Yin Zheng wouldn't make a big deal out of it just because of a house.
The key is that it's a detached house, which really appeals to her. These days, even if she had money, she couldn't buy a house like this. At least it would improve her meals. Living in a crowded courtyard, you have to sneak around to eat. Everyone has a keen sense of smell, and if you eat anything with a little oil, the whole courtyard will gossip about it for two days.
She has quite a few ready-made dishes in her space, and even if they don't need to be made on the spot, they are delicious and have a great flavor.
In this life, fame aside, we have no shortage of profit, but it is the desire for food and drink that we are concerned about.
“I know you’re not short of money. Otherwise, you can sell the house in the tenement, add a little money, and I’ll sell the small courtyard to you.”
Yin Zheng guessed that Jia Yue was not short of money. He had no intention of investigating her sources of income, but he still very tactfully offered a plan to sell a house and then buy another.
He's already come up with a reason, so refusing now would seem too pretentious.
"Okay, thank you so much."
"Given our relationship, it's too formal for you to thank me."
Jia Yue thought about their current relationship. In their past life, they had shared a bed and had two children together. Now they were going to work in the same company.
"You didn't do this on purpose, did you?" The two are getting closer and closer now.
Yin Zheng looked completely innocent: "What do you mean, intentional?"
Jia Yue shook her head, ignoring him. Let him do it on purpose! Let's see how far he can go.
