Chapter 982: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha
I have to say, Lu Miao guessed right.
She has excellent foreign language skills, is creative, and has stood out at the Canton Fair twice in a row.
The relevant departments of the central government have noticed her a long time ago.
There were various meetings before and after the New Year, and she was present at three of the ten meetings.
The biggest controversy among senior officials now is that she holds shares in private enterprises.
If she is re-recruited, should she retain her administrative position?
Back to the present, Tang Mei talked about the New Year and Lu Miao listened.
After roughly understanding the situation, Lu Miao nodded:
"I understand. I'll take a look at it in the next two days."
Dozens of people have come here, and it is definitely impossible for everyone to come back.
Just reply to a few important households.
Lu Miao thought about it and started to take action the next day.
Lu Miao was busy for two days with the New Year greetings.
After finding some free time, before the children went to school, Lu Miao took Minmin, Shian and others to several nearby markets for the whole afternoon.
I picked out the foods that the children liked and bought some to take home.
The main purpose is to take Minmin out for a walk and help her adapt to life in the city.
When I got home, Chen Xiangdong and Mei Zi came over.
It's just in time that they came.
Lu Miao took the opportunity to hand Minmin over to Mei Zi.
Lu Miao originally wanted to improve the food to improve Minmin's complexion.
Develop your physical fitness first.
But Minmin is so sensible.
I always remember what my aunt said when she was at home, that she brought her out to make money.
Not only is she not able to earn money now, but she can't find a job even staying in the yard.
With so many twists and turns, Minmin not only couldn't relax, but was also panicked all the time.
Lu Miao was also helpless.
I just thought of arranging Minmin to live in the factory yard first.
It seems like he is sweeping the floor or doing something else.
In short, let's just fool Minmin and make her feel at ease first.
After Lu Miao introduced Minmin to Mei Zi, he said:
"Just take care of the arrangements and let her do the work."
Minmin nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice, actively expressing that she was very capable.
But she didn't know that in the invisible place behind her, her aunt kept blinking and shaking her head at Aunt Mei Zi in front of her.
Mei Zi was beautiful and intelligent. She understood what was going on and nodded to cooperate with Lu Miao.
He told Minmin seriously that she should be obedient when working, otherwise he would not let her do it.
Minmin believed it and nodded continuously.
Lu Miao followed her and said:
"The first thing is to be polite. When you see someone, you should call them brother, sister, uncle, aunt, and if they are older, you should call them grandpa or grandma."
Minmin's eyes were darting like a frightened deer, and she was a little afraid to open her mouth, but she nodded and took note of it.
Let’s talk about Chen Xiangdong.
There was little work in the factory yard near the year-end, and he was anxious to find Lu Miao because of the construction team's business.
The engineering team’s labor costs are settled every two weeks.
The engineering company started working on the sixth day of the New Year.
However, because the workers' wages before the New Year have not been settled, no one has been arranged to come to work in the past few days.
Chen Xiangdong was afraid of delaying things, so when he heard that she was back, he ran over here several times, but he was disappointed every time.
This time I learned my lesson and came in the evening, which really allowed him to catch up.
He brought the receipt. Lu Miao sat at the table, tilted his head, rubbed his hair with his fingers, and began to look at the receipt carefully.
While pouring tea for them, Tang Mei asked:
"How much is it?"
Lu Miao looked at his nose with his eyes, and then at his heart with his nose, and said calmly:
"Not much, maybe two hundred yuan."
Tang Mei exhaled:
"Wow! Two hundred, that's not a small amount!"
Lu Miao hummed and explained perfunctorily:
"You haven't been there. It's a big place over there."
Tang Mei nodded and said nothing more.
Chen Xiangdong sat across the table and glanced at Lu Miao.
The receipt was brought by Chen Xiangdong. Others may not know how much it cost, but how could he not know?
The number of people on the engineering team is increasing day by day.
Not counting other miscellaneous expenses, the labor cost alone is 1,600 yuan per period.
Where is the two hundred?
And he just went to that yard yesterday.
Less than one-third of the second floor has been built. According to the original plan, the yard will be busy for at least another two months.
If you add up the consumables and miscellaneous items, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars to finish them.
Lu Miao obviously didn't intend to let the elders in his family know what he meant.
Chen Xiangdong lowered his head and continued drinking water without saying anything.
Lu Miao did some calculations in his mind and said:
"I understand. I'll withdraw the money for you tomorrow. Please come back then."
Chen Xiangdong nodded:
"No problem."
After chatting for a few more words about the company's recent operations, it was time for dinner at the Fu family, so Chen Xiangdong and Mei Zi left first.
Besides, after withdrawing the money and handing it over to Chen Xiangdong the next day, Lu Miao took some time to visit the largest department store in Wangfujing.
Lu Miao always felt that the orchid tea that the Xue family had sent him before was delicious.
Although he doesn't know much about tea, Lu Miao trusts his mouth.
She was thoughtful and bought more than a dozen high-end gift boxes of orchid tea at the department store in the morning and took them to the National Culture Center in the afternoon.
Let’s not talk about the fact that Huidi Xiaolanhua is a famous tea.
It is tea in a high-end gift box, a set costs thirty-five yuan, and there is only two taels of tea in it.
Can it be a bad thing if it can be sold at this price?
Lu Miao took the things to the cultural center and each master received a set.
If she only gave such a valuable item to one person, it would be fine.
But they gave so many things away at once that all the old masters were scared.
After all, he has lived to such an old age, and the old masters can sense that Lu Miao must have something to ask for.
They immediately put down the items and confiscated them, and asked Lu Miao to speak up if he had anything to say.
It’s not a big deal, they’ll help wherever they can.
As for the things, everyone told Lu Miao to take them back and return them so that she wouldn't have to spend any money.
"Please accept this, seniors. If you buy this tea, it's really not cheap, but it's all given to me by friends. Isn't it just in time for the New Year?"
Lu Miao blinked and said with a playful smile:
"I just took it and gave it to my seniors to celebrate the New Year."
A gift?
The old masters looked at each other, obviously not believing what Lu Miao said.
Lu Miao continued half-truthfully:
"My seniors know the nature of my work. This time I went back to my hometown for the Spring Festival, and the village happened to be doing some side businesses there. Sending this tea is also a way to test the market. The seniors each took a portion and gave me some feedback later on how it tasted and felt."
The old masters looked at each other again, but they didn't question Lu Miao as much as before.
Lu Miao changed the subject, chuckled twice, and said:
"Of course, I do have something I'd like to ask of you, seniors."
Seeing everyone's eyes on him again, Lu Miao explained calmly:
"It's not a violation of discipline. I just have a pickle jar at home that looks like an antique. I figured since our elders often deal with cultural relics, they must know more about it..."
Having said that, Lu Miao stopped talking.
But the old master understood what she meant.
Seeing that it was indeed not a violation of discipline, the old masters all laughed out loud:
"If you trust me, just bring the jar over here and we'll show it to you!"
Lu Miao nodded quickly, blinked and asked:
"What about these tea leaves?"
Master Dong, who was restoring cultural relics and ancient paintings, looked around at the others and said with a smile:
"Aren't you still waiting for us to give you feedback? Receive it!"
