Chapter 40 You Feed Me
Feed the dog?
Feeding pork buns to dogs?
His mother is really rich and generous. These huge meat-filled buns are more than enough for humans, yet she's willing to feed them to the dogs.
After the two finished eating, Jiang Ruzhen checked the time and, seeing that it was almost time, took her second son in a large shoe truck and headed straight for the clothing wholesale market.
The fare cost 3 yuan, and Shen Zhuoyi was so distressed that he kept clicking his tongue.
However, remembering his mother's instructions before he came, that he should observe and learn more, the second son, Shen Zhuoyi, consciously kept quiet and simply followed Jiang Ruzhen around, enjoying the good life.
The garment city was renovated on the site of an old machinery factory in the city center. The original factory had been ordered by the municipal government to relocate to the suburbs due to severe pollution.
This area was then vacated, making it perfect for a clothing wholesale market.
The main space remains unchanged; the walls and floors are simply renovated and remodeled, and then individual rooms are created.
Then we can attract investment. There are five factories like this that have been renovated, and they are connected by a corridor.
The various areas inside are clearly divided and easy to understand.
This wholesale city later became the largest clothing wholesale city in the northern region. After two major renovations, it remained prosperous until it gradually declined 15 years later.
Lu Mingzheng, accompanied by the leadership team of Yangcheng City Government, is inspecting the construction site.
Suddenly he heard someone call his name, "Lu Mingzheng!"
He turned around following the figure and saw the heartless woman who had left without saying goodbye suddenly appear in front of him with a radiant smile.
"Busy, haven't eaten yet? This is a pork bun from a state-run restaurant that I brought you. It smells amazing, want to try some?"
Jiang Ruzhen held up the steamed bun in her hand and smiled very attentively, her delicate and three-dimensional features shining brightly in the morning light.
Her eyes were bright and deep, her eyelashes were long and curled, her nose and lips were delicate, and her beautiful oval face, paired with her porcelain white and translucent skin, presented a pure and innocent look, like a lotus emerging from water.
After a few days apart, this woman seems to have become even more beautiful.
Several municipal government leaders noticed that Lu Mingzheng's attitude had changed and gathered around to tease him.
"Mr. Lu, who is this? Is she your little darling wife?"
In past social interactions, some people would inconsiderately offer him women, but he didn't care and would just casually respond with a few words.
But today, when Lu Mingzheng heard their teasing tone, his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed together. He grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's wrist and pulled her towards the car.
"Distinguished leaders, a friend is looking for me, please excuse me for a moment."
The leaders looked at each other, wondering what they had said wrong to displease the big boss.
Jiang Ruzhen didn't know what was wrong with this young master this time. She followed him to the car and pulled her wrist away.
Lu Mingzheng knew that Jiang Ruzhen didn't seem to like him much, but he didn't care about her attitude. He turned around, leaned casually against the car door, and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Jiang Ruzhen, are you trying to kidnap me or scam me by being so enthusiastic today?"
Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but roll her eyes, then turned and said with a smile, "How could that be? Boss Lu is my supplier now, my cash cow. Why would I kidnap you?"
"Oh~~" Lu Mingzheng let out a long, knowing "oh".
So this woman made money; her attitude clearly shows she needs something from him.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat steamed buns."
Jiang Ruzhen exclaimed, somewhat unable to keep up with Young Master Lu's thought process.
She handed him the steamed bun, but Lu Mingzheng didn't take it, staring intently at her.
"I didn't wash my hands, feed me one."
I'll feed you a piece of shit!
Did you think she was a maid from ancient times?
This guy is up to his old tricks again. Jiang Ruzhen wanted nothing more than to throw the buns and porridge in her hand at his face.
"I don't have time to argue with you. My second son came with me today. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have my son beat you up."
"Oh, I'm so scared!"
Lu Mingzheng glanced at the tall, slender figure not far away and said casually.
Jiang Ruzhen was speechless. She explained to Lu Mingzheng very seriously.
“I’m already forty, Lu Mingzheng. My youngest son is already sixteen, not much older than you, right? Is it fun to tease an old lady like this?”
Can't we sit down and talk business seriously?
“We can talk business, but I want to emphasize one point.” Lu Mingzheng’s expression instantly turned serious.
Jiang Ruzhen thought this guy wanted to seriously discuss the purchase of goods with her, so she stared at him with a serious expression.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Mingzheng then said something else.
“I’m thirty-five this year, about the same age as you. We’re the same age. In my eyes, you’re a very charming woman, not an old lady.”
Jiang Ruzhen nearly fainted from anger. "Lu Mingzheng, can't you speak properly?"
"I've been talking to you nicely, but you always think I'm joking." Lu Mingzheng spread his hands and shrugged.
With his nonchalant, aristocratic demeanor, who would think he's speaking properly?
"I'm here to buy goods from you. This time I want three times the quantity, and the price will be the same as last time, how about it?"
Jiang Ruzhen didn't want to waste time with Lu Mingzheng and directly stated her purpose.
“Okay. But please treat me to lunch.” Lu Mingzheng knew that Jiang Ruzhen was very guarded, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He had plenty of time to work things out with her.
They say even the most virtuous woman can be swayed by a persistent suitor, but he didn't believe it.
He has completed dozens of top-level missions perfectly since joining the army. How could he not win over a little woman?
“Okay, no problem,” Jiang Ruzhen replied, suppressing her anger.
"Would you be interested in coming with me to check on the renovation progress of the clothing market?" Lu Mingzheng didn't want to miss any opportunity to spend time with Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen came here to purchase goods, but Lu Mingzheng is busy right now and doesn't know when he will have time to ship them out.
If she doesn't agree, who knows what kind of trouble this guy will cause next?
The two walked back side by side. Vice Mayor Gao cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Lu, we were a bit impolite just now. May I ask who this lady beside you is?"
Jiang Ruzhen was very open about introducing herself; she was just a small clothing vendor.
Lu Mingzheng spoke first to explain, "She's a business partner. Her surname is Jiang, and she's mainly responsible for developing the clothing market in the north."
"Oh? Boss Jiang, my apologies for not recognizing you. It turns out you are a woman who is just as capable as any man."
Vice Mayor Gao praised them, and several other leaders followed suit, all crowding around Lu Mingzheng and Jiang Ruzhen as they walked forward.
Left out, Shen Zhuoyi quickly followed behind Jiang Ruzhen, who then pulled him over to show him off in front of the leaders.
"Distinguished leaders, this is my second son, Jiang Zhuoyi. If he comes to Yangcheng to develop his career in the future, I hope you will take care of him."
"No problem, no problem." Several leaders nodded in agreement.
I thought this excessively beautiful woman was Mr. Lu's lover, but it turns out she's just a business partner. Moreover, this lady has such a big son, so it seems there really is nothing between her and Mr. Lu.
However, whenever a business owner or factory owner comes to Yangcheng to invest, they are treated with utmost care, as if welcoming a god of wealth.
