"Come with me!" Hu Zhihe said coldly, then turned around and ordered, "Clean up this place, don't mess around here!"
Zhang Xingrong took the registration form, asked Xu Weiyin and the others to pack up, and she picked up the boxes and baskets and quickly caught up with Hu Zhihe.
The two arrived at the office soon.
Hu Zhihe put his hands behind his back, turned around, and looked Zhang Xingrong up and down. "I never thought that at such an old age, I would still see someone setting up a stall in front of a department store!"
You’ll see it in a year or two, maybe even next year! Zhang Xingrong complained inwardly, but remained amiable on the surface.
"Are you Manager Hu? My name is Zhang Xingrong. Manager Hu, you misunderstood. We are not setting up a stall. We brought these things here to discuss cooperation with the department store. But it was our first time in the department store and we didn't know where to go, so we parked our car in the bicycle area. As for the goods, they were originally meant to be on the car, but we accidentally got the car wet on the way, so we took the goods down to dry in the sun. Your old comrade guarding the door was very dedicated and let us pack up and leave. I said I wanted to eat something and then leave. We came here early in the morning and didn't eat anything. But who knew there would be so many people in the department store? As soon as we unloaded the goods, those people surrounded us, everyone said they wanted our things, and I couldn't get rid of them. There was nothing I could do!"
"Humph," Hu Zhihe snorted after hearing this, "So it's still our department store's fault!"
"Of course not. A crowded department store is a good thing. A large number of people means people's lives are improving and there's a great demand!" Zhang Xingrong rose to a higher level without hesitation. "Manager, to be honest, we brought these things here with us on a mission from the commune's production team. Our Hongyun Production Brigade is in the mountains, with many hills and little land. Everyone is poor and can't get enough to eat. That's why the production team is looking for other ways to develop the production team and, more importantly, to ensure everyone in our production team has enough to eat!"
Speaking of this, Hu Zhihe's expression on the opposite side indeed looked much better.
Zhang Xingrong also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had made the right bet. Hu Zhihe was a righteous man who cared about the people.
Although Hu Zhihe was indeed such a person, he would not act casually: "Even though you say that, I will not let you just leave your things in the department store. Are your products durable?"
"They're durable!" She quickly handed over the boxes and baskets she had brought up. "Manager, take a look at our boxes. We make them from vines grown in the mountains. Our production team's shoulder poles and baskets are all made from them. The production team's shoulder poles and baskets are used for heavy work, like carrying grain, manure, and everything else. They last for years without breaking down!"
Hu Zhihe picked up the box, pulled it, and examined it carefully, finding it to be very sturdy. It was also very beautifully made. He had never seen a wicker box before, and he had never seen one so beautifully woven.
"Manager, as far as I know, our province doesn't have this kind of rattan weaving. Not only our province, but many provinces don't have it. Currently, only Guangdong Province and Qiongzhou in the south have more rattan weaving. Our products can fill the gap in this area in the province."
Guangdong Province has been a place for rattan weaving since ancient times, so it's normal that there are many rattan weaving items there. However, the rattan weaving materials there are different from those here.
Hu Zhihe looked up at her and said, "You know quite a lot."
