Just as Lu Jingming called a friend to get the other party's parents' phone number, after some communication, he got the salesperson who sold skincare products.
He took An Wan, Lu Jiayan, and Lu Zhili out together, leaving Lu Yanshu at home to wait for news from Lu Sen.
At this time, Lu Sen and his wife, along with Lu Jingxing and Lu Chunhe, arrived at the former headquarters of Yun's Garment Factory by car.
The address is in a small town 30 kilometers outside the county seat, not in the county center.
The remaining three small factories are located in two neighboring towns.
The former Yun's Garment Factory has now been renamed Liu's Garment Factory.
Before getting off the bus, the four of them put on sun hats and sunglasses to prevent Liu Zheng from discovering their identities.
Because they wanted to buy back the garment factory, they needed to find out good news to prevent Liu Zheng from having any illegal or criminal activities or plots.
He wanted to sell the garment factory for a high price, but his family didn't have that much money and he didn't want to be a fool.
They didn't go into the garment factory, but even from dozens of meters away, they could see that the factory gate was tightly closed and some weeds were growing in front of it, making it clear at a glance that the factory had been closed for a long time.
The factory sign in front of the door was crooked and rusty, making it look like a haunted house.
Seeing this scene, Yunping's heart clenched, and her eyes turned red.
"How did it become like this? How could this happen..."
The thought of Yun's Garment Factory's former glory filled her with unbearable pain.
This is the culmination of my father's life's work.
How could they have fallen into such a sorry state in just four years?
What exactly happened?
When the garment factory was sold to Liu Zheng, he promised her that he would take good care of it.
Lu Sen put his arm around Yunping's shoulder, pressed his head against her forehead, gently rubbed it, and whispered comfortingly, "Things haven't gotten serious yet, don't be sad... We'll buy the factory back."
Actually, he was also very sad, looking at the overgrown weeds and lifeless garment factory.
Thinking back to when I was a teenager working at Yun's Garment Factory, the effort and dedication I put in for over twenty years was equivalent to raising a child.
Just like a child from birth to adulthood, you work hard to take care of it, educate it, and nurture it into an exceptionally outstanding person over the past twenty years.
But just as its career was slowly rising and becoming dazzling, it was suddenly handed over to someone else, thinking that it could be led to great heights by someone else, but unexpectedly it fell into the abyss.
"Business was so good back then, it wouldn't go bankrupt even in forty years, let alone four years."
Lu Jingxing's eyes were deep and sinister, so dark they seemed to drip water.
He still has a deep affection for the garment factory, after all, he was only fourteen years old four years ago.
For more than a decade, his grandfather brought him to the garment factory countless times, and he became very familiar with every corner of it.
Not to mention every step of the garment-making process, he could make a garment with his eyes closed.
Although he didn't particularly like clothing design and tailoring.
But my grandfather said that this is a skill for making money, and also a skill for survival.
Having many skills is never a bad thing.
You'll need it someday.
"Damn it! That guy surnamed Liu must not have run the garment factory properly, otherwise it would not have gone bankrupt in just four years."
Lu Chunhe's forehead veins bulged as he slammed his fist into the garment factory's wall.
My nose tingled, and my eyes reddened.
He remembered his grandfather's dying words, telling them to work hard to run the garment factory, take good care of it, and cherish it, because it was their secure livelihood.
As long as the garment factory exists, they will not go hungry.
Some locals walked by on the road. Lu Jingxing and Lu Chunhe stopped a kind-looking middle-aged woman to inquire about the situation.
"Who are you? Why are you asking about the garment factory?" The woman was very wary, glancing at the two of them sideways.
It's as if the word "bad guy" is written on their foreheads.
“Sister, we are interested in the garment factory and want to buy it to realize our dream. He and I both love fashion design.”
Lu Chunhe used his sweet talk to address the middle-aged woman as "elder sister," which made her so happy that her smile stretched from ear to ear.
Plus, they're handsome and have great physiques, so who wouldn't like handsome guys like them?
I only regret that I am not twenty years younger.
"Oh, I see. I didn't expect you young people to be interested in garment manufacturing. I used to work in this garment factory for a few years. Two months ago, the factory ran into problems. They couldn't sell their goods and owed us workers three months' wages. Ugh, I was so angry. Don't even mention how despicable Liu Zheng is."
"How could this be? Boss Liu told us that the garment factory business was very good and guaranteed that we could make a lot of money after taking over, so he asked us for one million before he would be willing to sell the five garment factories to us."
"Pah! Don't listen to his nonsense. The factory has already lost millions. He ran away with our employees' hard-earned money and his mistress. Before he ran away, he also cheated two idiots out of one million each."
The middle-aged woman was so angry that she spat on the ground, her face filled with righteous indignation.
If Liu Zheng's man were there, she could drown him in her spittle.
“You have no idea how despicable he is! He slept with so many poor women, causing them to have abortions and miscarriages. He didn’t support his wife and children at home, and instead took his mistress around enjoying a life of luxury. After the affair was exposed, he ran away abroad with his mistress a few days ago. The police came to the factory to investigate, but they couldn’t catch him or freeze his assets.”
"Ah? I never thought he was this kind of person!" Yunping covered her mouth. She knew that Liu Zheng used to be very honest and wouldn't even dare to go to an entertainment venue for a foot massage.
At the time, I thought he was a reliable person, which is why I agreed to sell the garment factory to him after he proposed to buy it.
