Louis looked around the yard curiously; he hadn't had a chance to examine the little yard properly the last time he came!
Good heavens, this yard has so many houses?!
Louis's eyes darted around; compared to the hotel he was staying in, it was like heaven and earth.
Therefore, the hotel staff arranged everything perfectly, and the rooms were different from those in other hotels.
But living there wasn't very comfortable. Whenever Louis opened the door, someone would come up to him and ask if he needed anything!
This made Louis, who was in a foreign land, feel as if he were being watched!
Anyway, Lu Zhiye's yard is big and there are many empty houses. He has not only a front yard but also a back yard. He can have his own little courtyard. Isn't that wonderful?
As for that polite but restrictive hotel, let his father stay there!
As Louis thought this, his smile deepened!
Looking at his appearance, Lu Zhiye knew that he had ill intentions.
He quickly interrupted him, "Mr. Louis, would you like some tea?"
"certainly!"
Although it was bitterly cold outside, the sun shone in the courtyard, tea was brewing on the table, and a few plum blossoms were planted in the corner, creating a unique atmosphere.
Louis pretended to take a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed, "As expected of President Lu, even the tea tastes better than the one at the reception!"
Lu Zhiye's lips twitched slightly as he wondered how this person could lie so blatantly.
You should know that places that welcome foreign guests are top-notch in every aspect, from food and clothing to accommodation and transportation.
Many items are reserved for internal use only; others cannot get them even if they want to eat or drink them!
Why does Louis seem so disgusted by it?
"I wonder what brings Mr. Louis here?"
Louis slumped back in the chaise lounge, his innate air of nobility making even the ordinary chaise lounge seem more valuable to those around him.
"It's nothing. Comrade Zheng told me that Lu is a very good cook, so I came here specifically to try his cooking."
Doesn't your Chinese have an old saying, "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"
What? Doesn't Lu welcome me?
He's talking complete nonsense. Lu Zhiye believes that Zheng Haiqian would never talk to Louis about anything other than work-related matters.
Moreover, Louis had previously made a big show of pursuing Wen Sihe.
Zheng Haiqian would have to be out of her mind to say these things to him!
However, Lu Zhiye was too lazy to expose him. Tan Guohua, who was on the phone inside, heard the commotion outside and hurriedly hung up the phone.
When he saw it was Louis, he jumped for joy!
After finally calming down, I straightened my clothes and combed my hair in front of the mirror.
He strode out, and from a distance stretched out a hand to Louis, saying, "Mr. Louis!"
When Louis saw Tan Guohua, his face was full of resentment. Judging from his appearance, Tan Guohua was the one who lived here.
Why is this kid allowed to live here? Yet Lu Zhiye has such a strong opinion about him!
He admitted that he had some ideas before, but now those ideas are all gone.
The man in front of me is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He appears harmless on the outside, but in reality, he's a black-hearted devil!
Just like the glutinous rice balls he ate a while ago!
He dared not provoke such a person, after all, he was on someone else's turf!
However, this stupid man in front of us can still be used.
Louis said with feigned sadness, "Alas, I am in a foreign land, all alone, and when I met Comrade Tan and Comrade Lu, I felt as if I had met kindred spirits."
I came here hoping to get to know you all and maybe discuss the textile factory's orders.
However, judging from Comrade Lu's expression, he doesn't seem to welcome me at all!
His sassy words made Lu Zhiye want to slap him twice.
But some people still fall for it!
Tan Guohua looked at Lu Zhiye with a pleading expression, as if he wanted to kneel down before him!
Helpless, Lu Zhiye could only stand up and say, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook!"
Louis smugly agreed, "Do you need any help?"
"No need, just sit there!"
If those leaders find out that he's exploiting Louis, they'll probably call him in for a talk tonight!
Louis wasn't here for nothing. Looking at the hesitant Tan Guohua, he sat up straight and said solemnly, "Since you came directly to me with Comrade Lu, you must have made thorough preparations!"
I need to see the pattern design and the fabric sample for the pattern making.
Tan Guohua had anticipated this. When the previous batch of flawed fabrics first came out, he felt that although the fabrics differed from the original drawings, they were surprisingly beautiful.
I went to Shenzhen to see if there were any unique fabric styles!
He strode into the house and took out a small black leather bag.
He pulled out a stack of blueprints: "These are the fabrics we already have, the finished ones, which are stored in the warehouse!"
These are the blueprints; you can take a look. Also, this is the material we've already produced.
He then took out a piece of fabric that had been cut out from another bag!
Louis didn't look at the blueprints immediately. Instead, he picked up the piece of fabric, stretched it out, and squinted at the sun!
After a long while, he said in surprise, "At first glance, it looks ordinary, but the later layering of colors, although a bit light, is still quite ingenious."
But under the sunlight, you can actually see that it has three layers of color!
Tan Guohua was so excited that his heart trembled when he saw that someone shared his thoughts and perspectives!
He took out another piece of fabric and said happily, "That's right. Our tie-dyeing technique in the early stages also adopted the methods of masters from the South!"
Many ethnic minorities in our area like this kind of fabric because it not only has beautiful patterns, but it also doesn't wrinkle like cotton.
When held up to the sun, you can see a layer of silver threads, which is a unique feature of our craftsmanship.
Under direct sunlight, not only do the three layers of floral patterns overlap, but the silver threads interspersed within also resemble waves, as if swaying in a gentle breeze.
Originally, the Second Textile Factory, like other textile factories, mainly produced floral prints, black, white, and gray fabrics.
However, a year ago, a special order made Tan Guohua see huge profits in it.
He persuaded his father to take on the order. Their initial communication with the client went very well, and their excellent technical skills also made them very satisfied!
However, due to a machine malfunction a few months ago, the second batch of orders collapsed.
They found a better partner, and the Second Textile Factory had no choice but to pile up its fabric in the warehouse!
Because of this incident, there was widespread discontent within the factory.
I felt that the Second Textile Factory shouldn't have accepted such an order so rashly. If they had just produced the fabrics that the public needed in a step-by-step manner, they wouldn't have accumulated so much stock!
