Chapter 215 Going to the Garment Factory to Seek Sponsorship
"Are you saying you're going to the Red Star Garment Factory, the largest in our city?"
After hearing this, Chen Meilan looked at her in surprise.
After a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you related to Director Dong?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Do you have any relatives working there?"
Su Xiaoxiao still shook her head.
Chen Meilan was speechless: "Then where do you get the confidence to get sponsorship from the Red Star Garment Factory?"
She originally thought that Su Xiaoxiao might know the leader of a small garment factory, so she took the initiative to ask for sponsorship.
I didn't expect that this guy was going to do a hard pull without any connections.
Just do it if you have to. At least choose a smaller factory. Everyone knows that the Red Star Garment Factory is the largest garment factory in their city. It not only has domestic orders, but also many export orders. It is very busy every day. How could anyone take the time to make a few prizes for them?
And it's free.
For a moment, Chen Meilan suspected that there was something wrong with Su Xiaoxiao's brain.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to explain it to her, so she said firmly, "Director Chen, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get sponsorship."
She is not a relative of Director Dong, nor does she know any relatives working at the Red Star Garment Factory, but Director Dong owes her a favor.
The favor I received from you for those dozen or so sewing machines last time is still there.
Chen Meilan didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so she could only say, "Okay, if you can't get it, don't worry. We can just try somewhere else."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect Chen Meilan to still be worried about her. She immediately bared her teeth and saluted her: "Don't worry, leader, I will complete the task."
She rode her bike all the way to the Red Star Garment Factory, thinking that Director Dong would be able to get it done quickly.
But I didn't expect that I would be stopped by the old man guarding the door as soon as I arrived.
The old man looked at her with a pipe in his mouth: "Which workshop are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head: "Uncle, I'm not from your factory, I'm here to look for someone."
Before he finished speaking, the old man knocked his pipe on the edge of his shoe and said impatiently, "Go away, there's no one here for you, leave quickly."
"Uncle, I'm here to see Director Dong. I want to discuss a cooperation with him."
Su Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, and while speaking, she stuffed a box of cigarettes into the old man's hand.
The old man's eyes fell on the cigarette box, and after taking a look, he threw the cigarettes back to him: "What kind of cooperation can a little girl like you come here to discuss? Don't even think about bribing me. There's no way you can get in."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
I didn't expect that this old man was still so stubborn.
She was scratching her head anxiously when she heard a familiar and pleasant female voice behind her.
"Comrade Su?"
When she heard that, she turned around and saw Liu Xiaocui walking towards her gracefully with a basket on her shoulder.
Seeing her, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes showed surprise: "Sister Liu, you came at the perfect time."
Meeting her eager gaze, Liu Xiaocui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Sister Liu, this is the case. I want to discuss something with Director Dong. Can you take me in?"
"Okay, no problem."
The dozen or so sewing machines that Su Xiaoxiao helped to get last time can be said to have solved the garment factory's urgent needs, and Liu Xiaocui also had a better impression of Su Xiaoxiao.
He immediately reached out and took Su Xiaoxiao's arm and said, "Uncle Wang, this is my distant cousin. Just let her in and she will be out soon."
Since the factory director's wife had spoken, Uncle Wang naturally didn't dare to stop them anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao successfully followed Liu Xiaocui into the garment factory, her face full of gratitude.
Liu Xiaocui said, "I'm going to take food to Guoqiang, so you can come with me."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Thank you, Sister Liu."
As they were talking, the two of them walked towards Dong Guoqiang's office together.
When he entered the room, Dong Guoqiang was so busy that he didn't even raise his head.
While I was busy, I felt someone tapping twice on the table with his fingers.
He raised his head with a look of joy: "Wife, you..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his old face suddenly turned red with shame.
There was actually a pretty young girl standing behind his wife.
The calm exterior that Director Dong had maintained for many years cracked for a moment.
However, he soon returned to normal, cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Xiao Su, you are here too. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the lunch box Liu Xiaocui was carrying and said hurriedly, "Director Dong, I'm not in a hurry. You should eat first."
Dong Guoqiang had always been grateful to Su Xiaoxiao for the sewing machine incident, so he couldn't help but greet her, "Comrade Su, let's sit down and have something to eat together."
Liu Xiaocui also chimed in, "Yeah, we're all family, let's eat together."
Su Xiaoxiao came here to solicit sponsorship, so she didn't feel comfortable eating a meal with other people. She immediately said politely, "Thank you, Sister Liu, Director Dong. I just had dinner and am not hungry. You guys should eat first..."
"Gurgle~"
Before he could finish his words, a shameful and infuriating grunt echoed throughout the office.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that the smile on her face was about to break.
If she had known it would be so embarrassing, she should have eaten before coming here. Now she is so embarrassed.
Liu Xiaocui covered her mouth with her hands and laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking. She reached out and poked Dong Jianguo next to her.
Dong Jianguo immediately understood: "Comrade Su, there is some extra food. It would be a waste if I couldn't finish it. If you don't mind, let's eat some together."
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to try to save face, but Hu Liu Xiaocui opened the lunch box.
Three lunch boxes were lined up in a row, containing the fresh, fragrant and soft sweet and sour spareribs, the tempting braised pork tenderloin, and a plate of refreshing and delicious cold cucumber salad.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Damn, this dish is too good.
In the end, she shamelessly picked up the chopsticks Liu Xiaocui stuffed into her hands.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Xiaoxiao burped long and hard. Meeting Director Dong and Liu Xiaocui's madly stifling laughter, she cleared her throat and said, "Thank you for the treat."
"Why are you being so polite to me? I'm counting on you to help me with matching clothes in the future."
Liu Xiaocui packed up the empty lunch boxes with a smile, put them into bags one by one, and sat down at the seat next to her.
Dong Guoqiang glanced at his wife, a gentle smile spread across his lips, and then he looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Comrade Su, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Su Xiaoxiao was waiting for this sentence, and as he finished speaking, she spoke: "Director Dong, our department stores across the city are planning to hold a gala, and we'd like to ask your factory to sponsor us some clothes."
Dong Guoqiang had just taken a sip of water from his enamel pot when he nearly spit it out. "What did you say? Are you asking our factory to sponsor clothes for your department store again?"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard the word "again", she felt something was amiss and couldn't help asking, "Director Dong, has anyone else approached you about sponsorship?"
