Chapter 1122 Urgent Need
Shi An, Ming Yi and Ming Xia, the three little guys, immediately opened their eyes wide.
What's going on?
Didn’t Mom just say that strawberries are two cents a pound, just like vegetables?
How come it suddenly became two yuan per pound?
The twin brother and sister looked at each other, as if they understood each other's eyes, and soon shook their heads in confusion.
When Min Qiaoqiao heard that strawberries cost two yuan per pound, she was also surprised.
What kind of fruit is this strawberry?
Is it inlaid with gold?
Can I get it for two yuan per pound?
Although she was shocked, the words had already been spoken, and Min Qiaoqiao would not miss the opportunity to "humiliate" Lu Miao.
Otherwise, it would have been a waste of her getting off the car and running into the alley.
Min Qiaoqiao chuckled softly, and took out a large unity banknote and handed it to Lu Miao with great generosity:
"No need to give me a discount or change. Just consider the extra as my welcome gift to them."
Min Qiaoqiao glanced at Shi An, Ming Yi, and Ming Xia behind Lu Miao, and said jokingly with a forced smile:
"Please buy them some good food. It's so cold, they are really pitiful."
Lu Miao's eyes curved, and his smile was cold and distant:
“It’s okay not to offer a discount, but the money still needs to be found.”
Too lazy to argue any further, Lu Miao put the strawberries and the change in cash into a plastic bag, tied the bag neatly and handed it to Min Qiaoqiao.
She put the empty basin into the basket, without even looking at the fool who was holding the strawberry bag and boasting about his happiness, and picked up the basket and directly called out to the children:
"Okay, let's go! Let's pack up and go home~!"
"Oh! Let's go home!"
The twin brother and sister jumped up and down.
Shi An was a little older and roughly understood the twists and turns in the situation. He glanced at Min Qiaoqiao with a playful and amused look, then trotted after his aunt and said,
"Auntie, let me help you carry it!"
"Hello~ Shi An is awesome!"
Ming Yi and Ming Xia heard their mother praising their elder brother Shi An, and followed up enthusiastically:
"Mom, I'll help you get it too!"
Lu Miao smiled and praised the twin brother and sister again.
Shi An said, "Auntie, that person just now was such an idiot! She bought strawberries for two yuan? They're more expensive than pork!"
Lu Miao smiled faintly and said nothing.
Who says it’s not?
But then again, Lu Miao patted Shi An's head and said:
"Where did you learn that swear word? Huh?"
“Ahahaha…”
Shi An scratched the back of his head, stuck out his tongue and laughed, then realized something was wrong and quickly raised his hand and said:
"I know I was wrong, auntie, I will never say that again!"
Lu Miao chuckled, tightened his collar which exposed his small neck and said:
"It's other people's business if they want to be taken advantage of, but we are civilized and well-mannered people, don't you understand?"
"Um!"
Shi An nodded vigorously.
Lu Miao smiled gently, holding his hand with one hand and the other two children with the other hand.
The family of four tied up like a string of candied haws, talking and laughing as they crossed the road on their way home.
Then Min Qiaoqiao watched this scene from a distance, curled the corners of her lips in mockery and spat in her heart, "You have come to this day too."
"snort."
Does Min Qiaoqiao really want to buy strawberries?
He was just using the excuse of buying strawberries to show off his wealth in front of Lu Miao.
Seeing Lu Miao walking away, Min Qiaoqiao snorted and lowered her eyes to glance at the bag of strawberries in her hand.
As if afraid of getting her hands dirty, Min Qiaoqiao threw the bag directly to the corner of the street.
However, she prided herself on being noble and looked down on Lu Miao, not wanting to be "tainted" by Lu Miao in the slightest, but instead faced accusations from passers-by.
Diligence and thrift are traditional virtues ingrained in the Chinese people.
Just now, when Min Qiaoqiao was buying strawberries, there was someone watching her.
Seeing Min Qiaoqiao throw away the things she had just bought, an auntie went over to pick up the things with a look of regret on her face, then turned around and scolded Min Qiaoqiao:
"Why are you like this, girl? If you don't want to buy something you spent money on, just don't buy it. Why buy it and then throw it away?"
Even Min Qiaoqiao, her former boss, was not worth looking at, let alone this ordinary lady in front of her?
Min Qiaoqiao didn't even bother to say anything. She glared at the aunt, turned around and walked away with an arrogant look on her face.
Seeing her like this, the auntie was so angry that she started to scold her loudly along the street:
"How uneducated! I don't know what the parents at home taught me, to let you waste things like this. If you have the chance to go hungry for ten or eight meals in the future, you will know how precious firewood, rice, oil and salt are!"
…
However, Lu Miao spent a fulfilling weekend at home with her children. The next day, Monday, when the children went to school, she also left home on time and got in the car to go to work.
As soon as I entered the lobby of the British Press, Yu Hong came to greet me:
"senior!"
All the way up the stairs to the second floor, people turned around and greeted me with "Good morning".
Lu Miao nodded slightly in response and walked upstairs at a leisurely pace.
Yu Hong followed beside her and said:
"Senior, Director Wang called this morning and said he has something to tell you."
Lu Miao asked, "Is that Director Wang from the garment factory?"
"right."
Lu Miao had originally said that he had some final matters to discuss with Wang Yuehua.
I was so focused on the publicity plan a while ago that I forgot about it because I was so busy.
Now that Yu Hong mentioned Wang Yuehua, Lu Miao remembered this person. He thought about it for two seconds and nodded his chin.
"I know about this. I'll call her back later."
"Why!"
When the matter was brought up, Lu Miao took it to heart.
After entering the office, Lu Miao tidied up the desk first, opened the drawer, and flipped through the pages of paper inside, finding the notebook with the phone number of the garment factory recorded.
Contact Wang Yuehua directly using the office phone.
I originally thought that Wang Yuehua came to her because the garment factory and the cotton mill had encountered some problems.
After getting on the phone and talking for a few minutes, I realized that it was not the case at all.
In the past, the operating model of garment factories mainly relied on state-owned production indicators.
But now it's different.
The garment factory now mainly handles foreign exchange orders, and it can be said that the transformation has been very successful.
Wang Yuehua has some business acumen. Now that she has such a good way out in the current economic downturn, she naturally wants to keep doing it.
But as a result, the garment factories that had been storing goods in their warehouses were in a hurry to get rid of them...
This is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either.
The reason why she came to ask Lu Miao was that she was anxious to find a place to remit the money. Secondly, Wang Yuehua actually wanted to give back and make it easier for Lu Miao to act.
Lu Miao had worked hard for their factory before. Wang Yuehua guessed that given her personality, she must also be supporting other factories.
Although the items they were in a hurry to sell were the goods that their factory had accumulated in the past, the styles were actually simpler and more conservative than those of foreign exchange orders.
It's not that there is any problem with quality.
If Lu Miao could be of some use and this matter solved her urgent problem, it would be a happy thing for everyone.
