"But isn't she the daughter of Director Chen of the Hengshi Steel Plant?"
This was the first time that Ma Wenbo was hired by the steel plant as a translator. Previously, the steel plant would always look for their director, but this time the director's wife was about to give birth, so she recommended him to the steel plant.
He went to the train station to meet up with people from the steel plant on the day of departure, but in fact he was not very familiar with the people there.
When translating the content for Song Fuyu, he was still wondering why it was all related to clothing. Today, he found out that she was the director of the clothing factory and did not work at the Hengshi Steel Factory at all.
This made Ma Wenbo, who was already attracted by her appearance and temperament, instantly like her even more.
"Comrade Ma, you misunderstood. I don't have my father's last name."
"His last name is Chen, and mine is Song."
As for the fact that her godfather is not her biological father, there seems to be no need to explain it to outsiders.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
"Comrade Ma, what are you doing here?"
"I...no...your dad asked me to bring you a bottle of soda."
He pulled a bottle of orange soda from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Thank you, and thank you for your trouble."
"We are a little tired now. If Comrade Ma has nothing to do, please go downstairs first."
Song Fuyu looked at the orange soda on the table and said in a flat tone.
"Then I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave first."
As soon as Ma Wenbo left, Song Fuyu moved the soda in front of Chen Guihe.
"Brother Chen, drink it. I have a toothache."
She didn't really have a toothache, but the bottle of soda was obviously bought for her by Ma Wenbo and given to her in the name of her father.
If it was a bottle of milk, she might not think much about it, but it was soda.
Dad knew that she didn't like this kind of drink that was too sweet and had too many colorants. He bought it for her once, but after she expressed that she didn't like it, he never bought it for her again.
Chen Guihe looked at the soda in front of him happily, but did not reach out to take it immediately. Instead, he confirmed it again.
"You really don't want to drink?"
"No."
"Then I won't be polite to you."
"You're welcome. Drink it."
Chen Guihe was drinking soda while Song Fuyu was resting on the table. When she was half asleep, Zhao Da and his friends came back with lunch boxes.
"Brother Guihe, did you go buy some soda?"
"I didn't buy it. Director Song's father gave it to her. She had a toothache and gave it to me."
"Would you like a bite?"
Chen Guihe was not stingy and handed the soda bottle to Li Ming.
"Then I'll have a sip too, thank you."
After Li Ming finished drinking, Chen Guihe asked An Bangguo next to him if he wanted to have a sip, and the other party did not refuse.
"If you continue to sign orders this afternoon, I'll buy you each a bottle at dinner time."
"Director Zhao, you have to keep your word."
“It’s a must!”
As long as I can sign the order, let alone buying a few bottles of soda, I can even eat meat and fish every day.
"Director Song, how about we finish our meal and then rest?"
"Uncle Zhao, please call me by my name. It's really awkward for you to call me Director Song instead."
"Fu Yu, don't pay attention to him. Your Uncle Zhao is just so happy that he's gone crazy. He hasn't calmed down yet."
"I plan to let him replace Bangguo to help Guihe in the afternoon, so that he can get some cool air outside and calm down."
"I have changed my goal now. We have successfully signed five orders, but none of the clothes are produced by our Qin City Garment Factory."
"My next goal is to sell our own clothes."
The sign-in sheet was exciting, but if Fu Yu was not there this time, it seemed that their garment factory would still be in a state of failure, and there would not seem to be much difference from before.
"Uncle Zhao, do you remember how much the trade fair sold last year?"
"The price here in Haishi is 400 million US dollars."
"so much?"
"That's just the beginning. Every year, the country holds two foreign trade fairs, one in Haishi in winter and the other in Guangshi in summer. Last year's transaction volume there was 800 million US dollars."
Song Fuyu calculated in his mind that they had signed an order worth 1.3 million US dollars this morning, which contributed a negligible amount to the 400 million US dollars.
"Uncle Zhao, that means that in previous years our factory didn't even make a dime of $40,000, let alone $400 million, right?"
Zhao Da was hurt by her words.
"It's not like this every time. Sometimes you can still get something out of it."
"The most we signed was over $300,000."
"......"
When she didn't know the total transaction amount, she would think that more than 300,000 US dollars was indeed a lot, but based on 400 million US dollars, or 400 million US dollars, more than 300,000... was pitifully small.
"Uncle Zhao, I think what you said before is correct."
"If we can't sign the order this time, our garment factory will not have the face to participate again."
Not only did I not make any money, I also had to pay for the round trip fare and the food expenses for the employees. Fortunately, accommodation was free, otherwise it would have been a huge loss.
With the achievements in the morning, everyone worked harder in the afternoon. Song Fuyu hardly stopped the whole afternoon and kept communicating with the translators.
She even regretted pretending that she couldn't speak English. She should have said that she was self-taught.
It wasn't until after five in the afternoon that the number of people began to decrease.
"You guys keep watching, I'm going downstairs."
She picked up the soda bottle that Chen Gui and they had finished drinking at noon and went to the steel plant's booth.
"Comrade Tian, where are your factory director and translator?"
"The factory director has gone to the restroom. Translator Ma is discussing something with Assistant Wang in the office over there."
"Thank you, keep busy."
Song Fuyu stood beside their booth waiting for Chen Guoxing.
Big companies are different. Not only do they have big booths, but they also have special offices for discussing matters. Unlike them, they are like orphans, with only two long tables, and they have to hide in that corner to discuss orders.
"Fu Yu, is your booth vacant at this time?"
When Chen Guoxing came back, he saw his daughter standing by looking around.
"There shouldn't be anything to do today."
"I heard that you signed a total of more than two million US dollars in orders today. That's great."
Although he was busy with the steel plant's affairs all day, he did not ignore the situation on Song Fuyu's side.
"Hehe, compared with the tens of millions of orders from your steel plant, it's nothing."
"Girl, why are you being so humble in front of me?"
"Haha, your daughter is amazing!"
Song Fuyu stopped pretending and smiled triumphantly.
“It’s really amazing.”
This time, the Ministry of Commerce set a total goal for several clothing factories to complete orders worth two million US dollars. As a result, one of their factories exceeded the target amount in one day.
