After seeing Meng Hui off, Lin Chunhua began to clean up the mess in the shop, but she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She simply couldn't understand why that woman would do something so harmful to others and herself.
If I encountered a real shrew from the countryside, I might actually end up fighting with her.
That colleague from the Industry and Commerce Bureau surnamed Meng, on the surface he seems to be doing things strictly by the book, but actually he's on her side. Why would he do that?
The waters in this capital city are indeed very deep.
During dinner that evening, Lin Chunhua told her family what had happened, leaving them all sighing in dismay.
Lu Wanqing put her arm around her shoulder and said:
"Sister Chunhua, if you see anything amiss in the future, be sure to call me. Don't be afraid to bother me! Or you can call Lin Ye. Just don't let yourself get hurt."
After saying it aloud, Lin Chunhua felt much more relaxed and smiled:
"Thanks to the help of the officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, I was able to make some money!"
"However, that person seems to have a strong aversion to the 'Wenwan' brand. She deliberately tore it up to frame me and even made me come over to apologize to you. Could she be targeting you?"
"What does that woman you're talking about look like? Does she have long, flowing hair and a perm on her forehead?" An image flashed through Lu Wanqing's mind.
Having just clashed with him yesterday, she couldn't help but suspect it was Feng Yu.
After receiving confirmation from Lin Chunhua, she became even more convinced that this was Feng Yu's deliberate revenge!
“Sister Chunhua, if you see her again, just kick her out. Yesterday, her stepson snatched Duoduo’s toy and then tried to frame her,” Lu Wanqing said solemnly.
The three little ones were Lin Chunhua's precious darlings. She could tolerate them bullying her, but she wouldn't stand for it.
Lin Ye clenched his fists, his face fierce.
Having lived in Beijing for so long, I've generally gotten along well with most of the people I've met, but there are always a few clowns who make me grit my teeth in hatred.
Lin Ye has been busy with the competition lately and has had no time to take care of his family, which makes him feel guilty.
Lu Wanqing noticed his unusual behavior and patted his hand, saying:
“It’s okay, you focus on your design, leave the household matters to me, these are all minor things.”
It's inevitable to have disagreements when getting along with others, but as long as the other party doesn't mean any harm, everything can be resolved.
It doesn't matter if they have malicious intent. The more assertive you are, the more insecure they will feel, and they won't be able to bully you easily.
The next day, Lu Wanqing went to the clothing store, took inventory of the clothes, went with Lin Chunhua to get the business license, and finally went to the clothing factory to pick up the goods.
This time, Lu Wanqing also brought some of her own clothes.
According to Lin Chunhua, her clothes sell very well, especially these styles, which are simple and elegant, and priced reasonably at twenty yuan a piece. Everyone is scrambling to buy them.
Lu Wanqing thought that she could lower the price of these clothes and make them a bestseller. After all, she and Zhao Xiaolan had limited energy and could not make many pieces in a month. They still had to rely on the factory for mass production.
When Xu Jin, the factory manager of Yiren Garment Factory, heard the purpose of her visit, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Comrade Lu, we agreed to pick up the goods every two weeks, but we didn't say we would produce the styles you provided!"
"Factory Manager Xu, don't worry. These clothes in my shop are really popular. We will produce them in large quantities in the future, and the factory will definitely not lose money."
Trust me, you'll produce a thousand units for me every month. You can dispose of the excess yourself. However, I have one condition: the excess production must be sold outside the local area.
Lu Wanqing cleared her throat and said.
For Xu Jin, there wasn't much risk involved. Making a little extra for those who wanted the goods was a good way to test the sales channels. As for the thousand pieces that Lu Wanqing wanted, he would pay her as usual.
Just as he hesitated, Lu Wanqing smiled and said:
"I just finished dealing with Comrade Meng Hui at the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and he mentioned you. I'll invite you both to get together next time!"
She spoke casually, making it seem like Meng Hui was a friend you could ask out for dinner anytime, but Xu Jin felt a slight ripple in his heart.
His clothing factory has thrived because he has a good relationship with the Industry and Commerce Bureau!
Everyone's doing reforms these days, and who knows where you might go wrong and offend government departments. I didn't expect Lu Wanqing to have friends in the industry, so naturally they'll look at her with more respect.
Lu Wanqing and Xu Jin quickly settled the matter, and before leaving, she specifically said:
"When the time comes, I'll be treating you to a meal. Xu Chang, you must do me the honor of joining me!"
Of course, I'll do you the honor, but I don't know whose honor it is.
However, it didn't matter to Lu Wanqing, as long as things went according to her plan.
Of course, since we've already made that promise, we can't go back on our word.
Meng Hui entrusted this glorious task to Lin Chunhua.
Strangely enough, ever since she met Meng Hui, the two of them have been able to meet every few days.
Sometimes in the morning, Lin Chunhua would arrive at the store early to sort the goods, and then she would see Meng Hui come in wearing sportswear, staring at his hair that was wet with the morning mist.
Sometimes it was evening, and she would lock the door and return to her courtyard house, only to run into him on the way home from work, carrying a briefcase.
"What a coincidence, you live in this area too?" Lin Chunhua was very surprised.
In this day and age, there are only a few roads, and she passes by here every day. There's no reason why she wouldn't have encountered this road before.
Meng Hui paused for a moment, then explained, "Yes, my parents live here."
He took a bus all the way from the inner ring road just to come and have a meal with his parents.
Actually, he didn't know why he was doing this; he just secretly had expectations in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he actually ran into it.
Since they had run into each other, Lin Chunhua remembered Lu Wanqing's instructions and seized the opportunity to ask:
"Comrade Meng, are you free this weekend? I'd like to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude."
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Meng Hui's lips. "I should be free."
Even if you're busy, you have to make time for it!
The last time she went to the business registration office, she was accompanied by another woman. He made a point of finding out that she was currently single.
He hadn't felt this way about a woman since his divorce from his ex-wife, and this time he might just find himself a wife.
Just as he was secretly pleased, Lin Chunhua continued:
"Then I'll invite my sister-in-law. She's the real owner of this shop, and she'll be the one treating us. There's also a clothing factory manager. Do you mind?"
"It's okay, I don't mind. The more friends, the better."
Even so, Meng Hui still felt a little disappointed.
But the thought of getting to know Lin Chunhua more closely made the knot in his heart untie itself.
When the weekend came, Lin Chunhua and Lu Wanqing left the shop to Zhao Xiaolan and their three babies, dressed up, and went to see Meng Hui.
The restaurant chosen as the venue for the dinner was a roast duck restaurant.
The roast duck restaurant doesn't have much soup or broth, which is quite suitable for people who are not very familiar with eating there for the first time.
Lin Chunhua experienced gentlemanly service for the first time.
