Chapter 83 Approaching Her Cautiously
Lu Jingyou has a strong sense of direction.
After going around in circles, I found the supplier of Jiali Garment Factory.
The supplier's surname was Wang. He was easygoing and enthusiastic. Su Jiaojiao had dealt with him several times in her previous life. When Boss Wang heard that he was from the Jiali Garment Factory and learned about Su Jiaojiao's purpose, he quickly found a circle of gray fixing strips and explained to Su Jiaojiao, "Generally, school uniforms use this kind of fixing strips. They don't need to be too wide, just a little stretch is fine."
Su Jiaojiao also took a piece of sample cloth, compared the colors, selected the gray A2 model, and asked him to send it directly to Jiali Garment Factory.
Next came the school emblem design. Principal Li recommended a landscape pattern. Boss Wang took a look at the base design and said it was fine. "Don't worry, once the samples are ready, I'll have Ju Peijun bring them back for you to see. We'll start batch production after you confirm them. There won't be any delays." "Thank you, Boss Wang," Su Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. The discussion went smoothly, and it was over in less than ten minutes. She then went to talk to Liu Wenji and wrote him a receipt. "Next time I come, I'll pay you in full."
"Okay, I believe you." There were a lot of people surrounding Liu Wenzhi's stall. He was very busy and didn't have time to talk to her.
Su Jiaojiao also squeezed into Liu Wenzhi's stall and picked out a set of clothes for herself and Chen Guilan to wear during the New Year, and bought two pairs of shoes at the stall next door.
Buying clothes in the Melbourne wholesale market is not cheap either. Basically, it’s the wholesale price plus ten or twenty dollars.
But it was cheaper than in the department store and Hualian Shopping Mall, and since she was already there, Su Jiaojiao just bought it.
While Su Jiaojiao was buying clothes, Lu Jingyou went to the window to answer the phone. He looked very busy. After he finished the call, he raised his wrist to check his watch and said, "Let's eat first and then go back!"
"Okay, I'll treat you." Su Jiaojiao also brought money with her. After buying clothes, she had more than 200 yuan left. There are many banks and even more restaurants here. As long as she has money, she can eat whatever she wants. Besides, she never thinks that treating others is a man's job.
They came out this time for school uniforms, which was a business matter. The school gave her travel expenses, including meals.
"What are you treating me to?" Lu Jingyou asked her with interest.
"What does Mr. Lu like to eat?" Su Jiaojiao looked around but couldn't find Wang Hua. She asked him, "Where is Wang Zhu?"
"There are some things at the company that he needs to take care of..." Lu Jingyou coughed lightly, "He just called and said he won't be here for a while."
"Oh, then let's go to the restaurant and wait for him." Su Jiaojiao pointed to the row of restaurants in front, "There's a private restaurant over there that's quite good. I wonder if Mr. Lu likes it?"
There are also big hotels around.
But she was short of money, only having more than 200 yuan, and it would be so embarrassing if she spent more than that.
Su Jiaojiao had been to that private restaurant before. Qin Shuang had taken her there. It was exquisite and cozy. The three of them had more than 100 yuan, which was enough for them. In that era, it was considered a high-end restaurant.
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Jingyou's phone rang again. He answered the phone and said to Su Jiaojiao, "You owe me this meal for now. Treat me when you have the chance. I have a friend who happens to own a restaurant here. He knew I was coming and invited me over for dinner. It's a good opportunity for us to go and try it together."
"Then I won't go." Su Jiaojiao declined. "I'm just walking around the area. See you in two hours."
When other people's friends get together, she won't join in the fun.
Lu Jingyou's friends are obviously not in the same circle as her. She is not feeling inferior, but his circle has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to get in.
"Don't worry, there's no one else here. I'll call Xiao Wang and ask him to come over. It'll just be the four of us having a simple meal." Lu Jingyou said as he called Wang Hua and told him the address. Wang Hua responded and said he would be there soon.
After the call, he naturally reached out to take the bags from her hands and asked her, "Did you buy clothes for the New Year?"
"Yes, I can carry it myself. I won't bother Mr. Lu." Su Jiaojiao didn't feel comfortable asking him to carry it for her. She thought they would go back to Jiao County directly after finishing their business. Lu Jingyou smiled again, "Don't worry, I can't wear your clothes."
Su Jiaojiao didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to let go.
The two crossed the street and walked along the sidewalk for a short while before arriving in front of a magnificent Yipin Restaurant. A young man about Lu Jingyou's age had been waiting at the door. When he saw Lu Jingyou, he was very enthusiastic: "Come in, come in! If you don't come, I'll think you've forgotten me."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Su Jiaojiao again, "What is this?"
"Su Jiaojiao, a student at Jiaoxian No. 1 Middle School. Their school has business dealings with our company." Lu Jingyou introduced Su Jiaojiao, "This is my college classmate Qi Heng, the young master of Yipinju."
"Hello, Mr. Qi." Su Jiaojiao greeted him with a slight smile. This man looked familiar, and she must have seen him before, but she couldn't remember where. Qi Heng was tall and handsome, with a bright smile. "Hello, classmate Su, welcome, welcome. Please come in."
The three of them entered the private room.
The room is also decorated with gold, and the tables and chairs are made of elegant and deep mahogany, showing luxury.
After a while, Wang Hua came. He had known Qi Heng for a long time. "Boss Qi, long time no see."
Qi Heng's eyes fell on Su Jiaojiao, and he said to Wang Hua with a smile, "Your leader is not easy to invite. I called him the day before yesterday and invited him again and again before he agreed to come to my place. My small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha like him."
"Here I am!" Wang Hua laughed. "The company has been too busy lately. I really can't spare the time."
"Whenever you return to the capital, don't forget our year-end party." Qi Heng stroked his chin and said to Lu Jingyou with a smile, "It would be so boring if you don't attend."
"I'll be back in a few days, I'm sure I'll go." Lu Jingyou said, and then asked Su Jiaojiao, "Would you like a drink or tea?"
"I'll just drink some tea." Su Jiaojiao replied.
"If you go, you can stay at my place." Lu Jingyou said as he poured tea for Su Jiaojiao. "Lao He and the others want to see you, so you two can chat."
"Thank you." Su Jiaojiao adjusted the tea bowl embarrassedly.
"Understood." Qi Heng looked at Lu Jingyou, then at Su Jiaojiao, and smiled like a fox that had stolen a chicken. "Don't worry, I will definitely trouble you. Lao He said that his shell company needs someone like me."
The meal was very rich.
Even shark fin and Buddha jump over the wall were served.
Su Jiaojiao ate quietly for a while, then put down her chopsticks and went to the bathroom.
It was too hot in the room and she was sweating. She washed her face with cold water and combed her hair in front of the huge mirror in the bathroom. It was good to be young. She used cheap vanishing cream and didn't need any skin care. Her skin was in very good condition.
As soon as Su Jiaojiao left, Qi Heng asked Wang Hua, "Is this little girl really a high school student?"
The little girl looks mature and steady, yet youthful and beautiful, as delicate and beautiful as the flowers blooming on the branches in spring.
These two temperaments are fully reflected in this little girl.
"That's right," Wang Hua answered truthfully. "Su Jiaojiao is a freshman in high school this year. She's a very capable girl. She used her winter break to represent the school and connect with our company for the school uniform business."
"Lu Jingyou, when did you become such a beast?" Qi Heng put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Jingyou in disbelief. "She's only in the first year of high school, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"
"Like I said, their school has business dealings with our company," Lu Jingyou said expressionlessly, "Don't be so petty. What could I possibly think of a little girl?"
Wang Hua suppressed his laughter and lowered his head to drink tea.
Among all the people he had met, only Lu Jingyou and his close college classmates dared to insult him like this.
