The person inside came out within two minutes. He had changed his clothes, probably to avoid being discovered.
But the chances of being discovered in the middle of the night are slim; they're really cautious.
Xu Xiangyang once again manipulated the little mouse to follow, but he soon discovered a problem!
That is...
Low battery!
Holy crap!
After using it for so long, he never charged it again, and now it's too late to charge it.
Looking at the last bit of battery power, Xu Xiangyang estimated that it could run for another fifteen minutes.
There would be no power at all, but he knew that he absolutely could not be in a confined space when there was no power, or there would be a big problem.
What if he comes out of the space but can't get out, or gets trapped?
Without giving him a chance to think further, he followed the man out of the courtyard, and the man headed straight for a secluded little house.
It's only about fifty meters away, and you can tell that the courtyard isn't easy to get into.
Even the drain outlets were fitted with clamps, supposedly to keep out rats?
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the little mouse and decided not to go in. If it got stuck, he would be caught too.
Moreover, this thing is just a small toy; you can't walk around the traps, you can only crawl, and you can't jump.
Reluctantly glancing back, Xu Xiangyang sighed, then moved aside to hide, waiting for that person to appear.
However, after waiting all night, the person did not come out again.
Xu Xiangyang rubbed his temples. Damn it, he had waited all night for nothing!
He has to go to work soon, looks like today's going to be tough. Even though he's young and can stay up late without any problems, only those who've tried it know how unpleasant it is!
I glanced at my mechanical watch; it was already six in the morning, and dawn was approaching.
It seems today won't work, but knowing about these two places gives him some peace of mind.
I'll come back to check on things next time, and while I'm at it, I'll go back and recharge the little mouse.
If all else fails, we could get a small airplane or something, but those things make noise and are likely to attract attention.
Just as Xu Xiangyang was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. The door was opened, and the young man left.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go after them to take a look, but he stopped immediately when he saw that there was still one person in the yard.
Was it him?
Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on.
This person was Yu Dong; I had quite a bit of contact with him recently.
So they were in cahoots!
However, he never expected that Master An would be so ruthless towards him.
With the door completely closed, Xu Xiangyang could no longer see what was happening inside.
Although we didn't get any good news this time, at least we found out who that person was with, so it wasn't a wasted trip!
It seems that the wait was worthwhile.
Xu Xiangyang didn't linger and immediately controlled the little mouse to leave.
After completely leaving the city center, he finally got on his bike and headed towards the garment factory.
With work time fast approaching, he, as the factory manager, couldn't afford to be late, especially since there was a meeting scheduled for today.
On the way, he kept thinking about what had happened the night before, and what had happened recently.
Since this matter was started by Master An, he needs to take some precautions.
Moreover, during this period of supplying goods to Master An, this man has never contacted him again.
They might be thinking about something bigger.
Upon arriving at the garment factory, Xu Xiangyang tidied himself up and then went to a meeting.
Today's meeting was also a monthly one, mainly about factory matters.
It's nothing serious. Insufficient funds and the need for technical adjustments are all normal.
After all, it's only been a month since we started working, and there are still many things to work out.
As the meeting drew to a close, Director Guan cleared his throat and said, "I have to take up a little of your time, as I have something else to say."
He glanced at the people present, including Xu Xiangyang sitting next to him.
Everyone sat down and looked at him.
Guan Qilin continued speaking calmly, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Today, I want to talk about the factory's performance. In terms of business, it can be said to be the most important thing for our factory."
"Director Wang, is there any problem you haven't solved?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Qin.
Wang Qin was a little nervous. Yesterday, Xu Xiangyang called her in for a talk, and today at the meeting, Director Guan called her out by name.
The main problem is that she simply didn't have a solution.
She glanced at Xu Xiangyang, a gesture that did not escape the notice of Director Guan.
Then, Wang Qin said, "Our factory has already secured ten orders for garments in the new city. Although it's not a lot, it's still pretty good. However, I've already sent my people to negotiate with the commune, and we should have results in the next couple of days."
Generally speaking, we start negotiating with clients when the garments are being produced in the factory. However, more than half a month has passed, and we've only secured ten orders, which is far too few.
If this continues, we are likely to be criticized by our superiors.
With such poor performance, how can the first garment factory in the new city continue to operate?
At that time, not only will Factory Director Guan be criticized, but Xu Xiangyang will also be criticized!
Guan Qilin became anxious upon hearing this. Although he looked down on Xu Xiangyang, they were all in the same boat now.
When the garment factory goes bankrupt, all of us in leadership positions will be finished too.
He turned to look at Xu Xiangyang. He was certain that Wang Qin had been looking at this kid when she glanced in their direction.
"Director Xu, what are your thoughts?" he asked.
Xu Xiangyang was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to ask him this question. However, he didn't think much of it; it was a meeting anyway, and he could share his thoughts.
"I think we can talk to the supply and marketing cooperative and department store in Xincheng again. After all, it's a garment factory in Xincheng. Even if they don't support us, they should at least give us face, right?"
"We can also visit other provinces and cities. There are quite a few communes nearby. Every little bit helps."
His words were quite reasonable, but others knew that this was the only way.
Guan Qilin nodded solemnly, then sighed.
There's really no other way. Nobody wants things to end like this. After all, there are people below who are waiting to be fed, and the leaders above are watching closely.
Xu Xiangyang also knew that Liao Shizhang, who was in charge of this matter, would definitely take it seriously. Even though he didn't ask much last time, he knew what was going on.
Especially since everyone else asked a lot of questions, but he didn't, it proves that he knows the answer.
The meeting ended, and everyone started to leave.
Wang Qin followed Xu Xiangyang a few steps, then called out to him.
"Director Xu, I'd like to talk to you." She nervously clutched the sides of her clothes.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, then took a few steps away.
“That’s how it is,” Wang Qin said. “I think there’s still a chance to negotiate with the supply and marketing cooperative, but the department stores are all unanimously against it, and they haven’t placed a single order. The ten orders I mentioned before were all from the supply and marketing cooperative.”
This is actually quite frustrating. We have clothing factories in the city, but no stores to support them. It's so ironic.
