Older generations want to maintain their fatherly authority in front of their children, and naturally they also want to maintain their patriarchal dignity in front of their children's friends!
This is also to make others respect their own children more!
Lu Zhiye did not expose him, but nodded slightly and said, "Many of the machines in our country's state-owned factories are imported from abroad. Sometimes, if a part is damaged, it needs to be shipped from abroad, which does take a lot of effort."
His words were a way of giving Tan Songjiang a way out!
This relieved Tan Songjiang, making him feel much more relaxed!
While Mrs. Tan was cooking, she suddenly heard a noise outside and opened the door!
Seeing a strange young man standing next to her husband, Old Tan, she was somewhat surprised, but still maintained the decorum of a factory director's wife: "Old Tan, is this a guest? And who is this?"
"They said they were our son's friends, but haven't they come back yet?"
Go to the state-run restaurant and order a few dishes, all the local specialties. Tonight, let's have a good drink together.
Mrs. Tan happily took off her apron and said, "Okay, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and get you two more bottles of good wine!"
As she spoke, she put on her coat and walked out. Lu Zhiye quickly said, "Uncle Tan, I have some wine here. I brought it here specially. I was so busy wandering around the small square that I forgot to take it out."
I'll go get it right away, so you won't have to trouble your aunt to make the trip to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"I've heard that there are several master brewers in the capital who are quite good at brewing wine, but I've never tasted it before!"
"Then you must try it today!"
When Lu Zhiye returned with the wine, Tan Guohua and Jinian were already waiting at the entrance of the family compound!
Presumably, Tan Songjiang told them about it after he got home!
When Ji Nian saw Lu Zhiye, a genuine smile appeared on her face.
Tan Guohua had a pleasant conversation with Lu Zhiye in Shenzhen before. At this moment, he reached out his hand and quickly walked to Lu Zhiye's side: "Comrade Lu, it's been a long time!"
The two shook hands and chatted amiably. Ji Nian followed Tan Guohua with a beaming smile, glancing behind Lu Zhiye and asking, "Hasn't Hehe come over?"
“She’s been very busy lately, and she doesn’t even have time to eat, let alone take a vacation.”
Ji Nian frowned: "She just works too hard."
I've always wanted to get into the translation department, but it's not that easy!
Sigh, you should talk to her about it when you have time. Tell her to eat properly and not ruin her health.
After saying that, Jinian burst out laughing. They were a married couple, why did she need to say such things?
Lu Zhiye took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Tan Guohua: "Are you free? Shall we walk over there?"
Tan Guohua could tell from this that Lu Zhiye had something to discuss with him.
He quickly patted the commemorative item beside him: "Do you see if Mom needs any help?"
I'm taking Comrade Lu out for a stroll!
A commemoration of a smiling nod!
Lu Zhiye and Tan Guohua walked toward a secluded spot while smoking. Tan Guohua opened his mouth repeatedly, but Lu Zhiye, who had started the conversation, remained silent, and he was too embarrassed to speak first.
Lu Zhiye finished his cigarette and said unhurriedly, "Your No. 2 Textile Factory has a lot of unsold stock lately???"
Tan Guohua's cheeks flushed slightly. Although it was common knowledge, he still felt somewhat embarrassed that outsiders knew about it!
However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and said frankly, "That's right. We have four warehouses, and three and a half are already full, which is why the factory can't keep up with the orders!"
In this way, even if we continue production every day, it will only result in a pile of ashes.
In addition, the machines broke down a while ago, and the new parts haven't arrived yet, so we had to suspend factory operations!
Lu Zhiye nodded, it seemed that Tan Songjiang's previous statement was not unfounded.
"Would it be convenient for you to show me your surplus inventory?"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Tan Guohua's ears!
His eyes widened, his pupils trembling violently: "What do you mean? Comrade Lu wants to purchase materials?"
Lu Zhiye's lips curled slightly: "It's not that I want to make the purchases, it's that I can get you a purchase order. However, I need to check first whether your batch of goods meets the requirements!"
Tan Guohua was so excited that he didn't know what to do with his hands. He touched his clothes and tugged at his sleeves: "Then wait a moment, I'll go back and call my father?"
"No need to make such a fuss. Take me to see the goods in the warehouse first. If they're suitable, then we can tell your father. Otherwise, he'll be disappointed!"
Tan Guohua nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I don't need you to be so thoughtful."
The two drove to the entrance of the textile factory. When the old man at the gate saw that it was the same car again, he quickly ran out of the small house!
Upon seeing Tan Guohua, his old face beamed with joy: "Guohua, it really is your friend!"
Tan Guohua nodded politely: "Yes, Uncle, please open the gate so we can drive the car in. I'll go check the warehouse!"
The old man was a shrewd old man; as soon as he heard this, he immediately realized that the person in front of him might be a big customer!
After quickly opening the door, he beckoned people to come inside!
His eyes darted around, and he called his grandson over: "You stay at the door and keep watch. If anything happens, go in and call Grandpa!"
With a piece of candy in his mouth, the grandson mumbled, "Okay!"
The gatekeeper was incredibly fast, running away as fast as the wind.
Tan Guohua opened the doors of all three warehouses: "Although there is a lot of stock in the warehouses, these fabrics were not produced for long!"
The defective fabric produced in these two warehouses was due to machine malfunction!
Sigh, it's all our fault for being careless!
It was originally an order placed by someone else, but the worker on duty at the time didn't notice, resulting in a large batch of fabrics overlapping and some even having color mixing!
Even with our best efforts to salvage the situation, there will still be discrepancies between our orders and those placed by others!
This caused the garment factory to cancel a large number of orders, leaving the goods piling up in the warehouse!
Originally, the plan was to sell these fabrics to the supply and marketing cooperative at a low price, but the No. 1 Textile Factory also sold a large quantity of defective fabrics.
This resulted in a backlog of fabric at the supply and marketing cooperative, which couldn't be sold!
Now that things have come to this, Tan Guohua has no reason to hide it anymore!
He opened the cloth covering it and tore off a batch of fabric: "I actually think this batch of flawed fabric is quite beautiful. Although the patterns overlap, there are different shades, which creates a unique aesthetic."
As Tan Guohua sighed, he tore the fabric apart, feeling that this batch of fabric had not found someone who understood it.
Lu Zhiye thought the material was excellent the moment he saw it!
He and Tan Guohua shared the same feeling: most of the fabrics in China were all the same!
Bright colors aren't really in fashion right now!
In five or six years, everyone on the streets will be dressed in flashy and colorful clothes!
But for now, gray, blue and black are still the main colors!
