Chapter 200: If you have difficulty reaching Yibin, contact the government...
Chapter 200
Lin Mujin was quite busy before boarding the plane. She had just "fooled" Ms. Tong last night, and this morning she went to the furniture factory with Qin Zheng, Weng Nuan, and cousin Lin.
Wang Anbao was not at home. He had gone with Ms. Tong to visit her ex-husband to play the emotional card.
In Qin Zheng's car, Weng Nuan and Lin Mujin sat in the back seat, talking in low voices.
"Boss, the commonly used woods for wooden boards include oak, teak, walnut, etc. In Guangzhou, there are also mangosteen, safflower and merbau. My suggestion is to consider safflower." Weng Nuan finally gave her opinion.
Lin Mujin listened carefully. "I know about oak flooring, and I just found out about the others when I was visiting the furniture factory. Isn't teak the best?"
She didn't mind the fact that Weng Nuan changed her address, and it wasn't wrong to call her boss.
Weng Nuan explained, "Hong Kong, like Guangzhou, has a humid climate, so when choosing flooring, we prioritize wood that is moisture-resistant and stable."
Lin Mujin nodded in agreement.
Weng Nuan continued, "The furniture factory staff were right about their promotion. Teak is extremely moisture-resistant, but it's the most expensive. Round bean is more moderately priced and has beautiful patterns. Its only drawback is that the wood is too hard and difficult to polish. However, labor costs are lower in inland areas, so the price isn't too high."
Lin Mujin didn't want to just choose the expensive one instead of the right one. "Okay, then. Let's choose round bean wood. Should we place the order now or wait until we get back from Sichuan?"
She still listened to advice.
Weng Nuan thought for a moment. "We can place an order now. I think it's better to order from a state-owned factory. It's a little more expensive, but the quality is guaranteed."
Lin Mujin asked again, "Which factory are you going to?"
Weng Nuan replied, "Factory 2."
Lin Mujin reached out and patted Qin Zheng on the head, "Ah Zheng, take us to the Second Furniture Factory."
He turned to Weng Nuan and asked, "How much deposit do you need?"
Weng Nuan calculated, "One thousand RMB."
Lin Mujin patted her backpack, there was enough money inside and no need to take out more.
They soon arrived at Furniture Factory No. 2, and Lin Mujin got off the car as well, but she didn't say a word. It was Weng Nuan who did all the talking, and it was she who signed the contract, agreeing on delivery in half a month.
Lin Mujin only paid a thousand yuan.
It’s nice to not have to do anything and just enjoy the results. That’s what it feels like to be a boss.
Ms. Tong and Wang Baoan also came for lunch, and everyone went to a famous local old restaurant, which was recommended by Ms. Tong.
Lin Mujin ordered two delicious soups, which tasted very good.
At the dinner table, Ms. Tong recounted the results of her "negotiation" with her ex-husband.
Half of the expectations were met. The scumbag ex-husband promised not to get married and have children in the future, but he did not agree to sterilization.
Ms. Tong scoffed, "It was just his three minutes. What impact did it have?"
Lin Mujin almost laughed out loud. It turned out that once a man turned twenty-five, he would be sixty-five years old.
Qin Zheng: "Ahem..."
Ms. Tong was a little embarrassed. "I said I was talking nonsense. Let's not talk about him anymore. It's disgusting."
Lin Mujin really enjoyed listening to gossip. "Don't give up. You can take him to the hospital for consultation. Vasectomy is a minor operation and won't affect his health at all."
He whispered softly, "It won't affect his three minutes."
Qin Zheng: "Ahem..."
"This way he won't have to worry about anything, and it won't matter if he plays more."
Qin Zheng: "Cough cough cough cough..."
Lin Mujin was afraid that Qin Zheng would get lung disease, so she decided to stop talking and eat quickly.

After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel, picked up their luggage and headed straight to the airport.
Ms. Tong did not follow. She wanted to see him off at the airport, but the car was too small to accommodate him.
They arrived in Chengdu in the evening, went to the train station to buy train tickets to Yibin, and then took a taxi to a hotel.
The next day, everyone boarded the train at 5:30 and arrived in Yibin four and a half hours later.
"We're finally here!" After getting off the train, Lin Mujin felt like she was alive again.
"Weng Nuan, where are we going?" Lin Mujin was a little confused for a moment.
Weng Nuan thought about it and said, "We can go to the city government for help."
Lin Mujin thought it was feasible, as Hong Kong businessmen still had some prestige, so let's go.
"Stop! Who are you looking for?"
The crowd was stopped by the young soldier standing guard at the government gate.
Lin Mujin took out her Hong Kong ID card and said, "Hello, I'm a Hong Kong businessman, and I'm here to seek help from the government."
The young soldier's expression was solemn. "Wait a moment, I'll go and notify them."
Soon, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, walked out of the office building and warmly welcomed Lin Mujin and the others into a small conference room.
Both parties introduced themselves. The middle-aged man was Director Lu from the office, and the woman was Deputy Director Zhang.
Lin Mujin greeted everyone on their behalf, "Hello, Directors! Thank you for your help."
Director Lu waved his hand. "No trouble, no trouble. Miss Lin, are you all from Hong Kong?"
Lin Mujin introduced them one by one. "This is my brother, he is also from Hong Kong. He doesn't speak Mandarin so he hasn't spoken a word. Sorry. This is my designer, from Jinshi. This one is here to protect me..."
Wang Anbao took the initiative and said, "I'm from Guangxi."
Lin Mujin continued, "We came to Yibin to buy some bamboo furniture and bamboo weaving products, especially those made from jing bamboo. I was wondering if there are any bamboo weaving factories in the city?"
Director Lu thought for a while and said, "There is a small summer mat factory in the city. It's run by the subdistrict office and should be open now."
Deputy Director Zhang affirmed, "It's open."
Lin Mujin was a little disappointed. She didn’t want to buy a mat!
Weng Nuan asked, "Leader, are there any towns famous for bamboo weaving?"
Director Lu was still pondering, but Deputy Director Zhang had already figured it out. "Shuanghe Town in Changning County is very famous for its bamboo weaving."
Lin Mujin didn't want to waste time, "Then let's go and take a look."
Director Lu warmly invited, "It's more than 60 kilometers. Why don't you have a quick lunch here before going further?"
Lin Mujin naturally refused. "There's no progress at all. I'm really not interested. Sorry to bother you two leaders."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Director Lu asked them to wait while he went to make a report.
Lin Mujin was quite confused. She didn't have to report not eating. It shouldn't be necessary.
But after all, they helped, so I'll just wait a while.
Director Lu came back soon and said to them, "Let's go!"
Lin Mujin was dumbfounded. Where were they going?
Are there any strange rules in Yibin in the 1980s that she doesn’t know?
The male leader explained with a smile, "The mayor asked me to take you there."
Lin Mujin reacted and realized that there was such a good thing. "Isn't this... too much trouble?"
Director Lu had already walked out. "It's not easy for you to come all the way here. We will definitely help if we can."
Lin Mujin added, "We have many people..."
The male leader replied, "A van, there's plenty of room."
Lin Mujin glanced at Weng Nuan and saw her nod slightly. She immediately smiled and thanked him, "Thank you so much, leader. We are new here and a little unfamiliar with the place. Fortunately, we are lucky to have met a good leader..."
You have to work hard to spread some rainbow farts!
