Chapter 163 My wife is awesome!
Jiang Ruzhen and Lu Mingzheng sat down and slowly finished their meal.
Having said all that needed to be said and acted out all the intimate scenes, Jiang Ruzhen calmly got up, grabbed Lu Mingzheng, and headed to the factory.
Throughout the journey, Lu Mingzheng's lips were practically curled up in a wide smile that never faded.
"Stop laughing, or your mouth will practically stick out of your ears," Jiang Ruzhen complained helplessly.
Lu Mingzheng grabbed her hand and shifted gears, slowly returning from third to second.
"Even your old oxcart is faster than yours."
Jiang Ruzhen complained again, and Lu Mingzheng pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed it repeatedly.
"It's okay, no rush. Let's enjoy our time together."
Jiang Ruzhen glanced at him sideways, "Aren't you worried that your multi-million dollar business deal will fall through?"
"What am I worried about? Everything was ready and we were just waiting for the best negotiator, but my mother insisted on interfering. The things she does are definitely within a controllable range."
Even if it doesn't work out in the end, so be it. At least I've already seen you.
"Ha! You really are your mother's best son!" Jiang Ruzhen sneered, delivering a precise retort.
The two of them drove for almost an hour before finally arriving at the factory.
Upon entering the factory area, Lu Mingzheng and Jiang Ruzhen walked hand in hand through the streets in front of thousands of workers.
This triggered a chain reaction throughout the factory area.
The female workers were all pounding their chests and stamping their feet, crying out that their precious young master had been snatched away by someone else.
The male workers, however, were all focused on Jiang Ruzhen, drooling over her fairy-like face and hot figure.
Everyone was envious and jealous of how popular the young master was with women.
Some old folks, seeing this, either watched with amusement or secretly tattled on each other.
In short, there are all sorts of people with different ideas and perspectives.
Jiang Ruzhen ignored the friendly or hostile looks and followed Lu Mingzheng to the factory director's office.
Before she arrived, she was all set to have a good fight with Boss Bai.
But once we got here, we found out that Mr. Bai doesn't usually work here.
Xinhua's largest factory is still in Suzhou, while the factory in Hangzhou is a new one, specifically set up for Lu Mingzheng to practice.
Jiang Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her shrewish nature was about to be exposed today.
I wonder what Lu Mingzheng will think after reading it.
It seems we'll have to postpone this.
She chose a corner to sit down and watched Lu Mingzheng walk towards the foreign clients.
They had a translator with them, but the translator's level was limited. Basic communication was fine, but when it came to specific aspects of the intangible cultural heritage significance of Suzhou embroidery, her vocabulary was clearly very limited.
No matter how much I explained, I still couldn't make it clear to the foreigners.
Those foreign friends were so anxious that they scratched their heads and their faces turned red.
Although Lu Mingzheng had studied English, his ambitions lay not in business, and his professional abilities were limited.
The two of them spent a long time explaining to the foreign customers in their native tongue, but the customers still didn't quite understand why clothes embroidered with flowers, birds, fish, and insects were so expensive.
Jiang Ruzhen watched for ten minutes, and realized that the two groups were talking at cross purposes.
She couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to explain in fluent English.
"Suzhou embroidery is an intangible cultural heritage project of our city. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, embroidery was used in clothing."
By the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan region had become a center of silk weaving. Embroidery artists combined their work with paintings to create exquisite pieces that were lifelike and full of artistic charm, earning them the reputation of "painting with needles" and "exquisite craftsmanship."
The main artistic features of Suzhou embroidery are: landscapes that can distinguish between near and far; pavilions that possess a profound and deep form; figures that convey a lively and expressive gaze; and flowers and birds that depict a graceful and intimate manner.
The formations in Suzhou embroidery are also ever-changing...
As Jiang Ruzhen slowly but clearly explained, the thousand-year history of Suzhou embroidery gradually unfolded before several foreign clients like a landscape painting.
They were deeply captivated by the skills, anecdotes, and folk tales that Jiang Ruzhen shared, nodding frequently in agreement.
After learning about the history and value of Suzhou embroidery, they had no objection to the price offered by Xinhua.
Finally, the two parties shook hands amicably and signed the order very readily.
Lu Mingzheng didn't expect this matter to be resolved so quickly. He had known for a long time that Jiang Ruzhen was very capable, but today he had experienced another aspect of her capability.
He felt that Jiang Ruzhen was a mystery; even after peeling back layers of fog, he still couldn't see her exact features.
But he is very happy to be this explorer. When he peels back her outer shell layer by layer and sees the true softness inside, does that mean he can completely enter her heart?
From his office to the factory gate, Lu Mingzheng told everyone he met what had just happened, and then he would tell them about it.
"Look at my wife, isn't she awesome?"
At first, some people responded with fake smiles, but later, they all avoided him.
Within half an hour, a rumor spread throughout the factory that the small boss had lost his mind and was praising his girlfriend to everyone he met.
No sooner had the two left than someone reported what had just happened to Bai Jing.
"What? You're saying that Jiang Ruzhen speaks English? And she knows the history of Suzhou embroidery by heart?"
Bai Jing gripped the microphone tightly, her breathing becoming heavy with anger.
"This woman is too cunning, and her scheming is too deep. It is so difficult for a village woman to learn English, let alone memorize such a long history."
Did she start preparing this the moment she first met A-Zheng? She's wicked and extremely cunning!
I've actually learned something new – losing to such a cunning woman.
After a long while, she let go of her hand weakly and gave the order.
"Help me send that prepared translator away. Also, don't bother A-Zheng for a while. I'll think of a way to deal with that old woman later."
The person on the other end hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
She actually looked at Jiang Ruzhen differently; her behavior in the office today was nothing like that of an ordinary village woman.
He is courageous, insightful, and possesses both wisdom and bravery.
But she didn't dare tell her boss, fearing he would accuse her of colluding with an enemy country.
She still had a question in her mind: how did Jiang Ruzhen know those difficult professional terms?
Why do you know all those obscure technical terms?
Lu Mingzheng was asking the same question, and Jiang Ruzhen closed her eyes and thought for a long time before answering.
"Born intelligent".
"I don't believe you for a second." This time, it was Lu Mingzheng's turn to be speechless and retort.
Jiang Ruzhen chuckled. In fact, when she was helping her youngest son set up a factory in her previous life, she had run an online store on a certain website for a period of time.
She sells various Suzhou embroidery products. In order to better sell them overseas, she studied English diligently for two years and could recite the history of Suzhou embroidery by heart.
Her excellent after-sales service made her an instant hit on the website, which helped her accumulate the first batch of start-up capital for her youngest son to open a factory later.
Later, once the factory opened, too many things took up her energy, and with more and more similar online stores appearing on the market, her competitiveness declined, and her online store gradually closed down.
Who would have thought that her ability to travel through time, past and present lives, would be of help to Lu Mingzheng?
She was also surprised, feeling as if everything was preordained.
"Where do we go next?" Jiang Ruzhen changed the subject.
"Back to the hotel," Lu Mingzheng replied briefly.
"Aren't you going out for a walk?"
"No, I'm in a hurry to go back and kiss you."
"Lu Mingzheng, do you have any shame?"
"If you're too shameless, you won't get a wife."
"......"
