Chapter 144
Director Ren was lost in thought when he suddenly heard the sound of someone eating over the microphone.
Lu Qin
"Director," Lu Qin glanced outside and saw Cai Mingju being pulled aside for a chat. "I tried some. The biscuits in Shanghai are similar to ours, but more expensive. They don't even taste as good as the ones from our Laifu Food Factory."
"It must be expensive for a reason." Director Ren didn't expect him to eat it right there. He leaned back in his chair, "otherwise everyone would be rushing to buy it."
He had it once on a business trip a few years ago, but now he can't remember the taste.
The two people suddenly started discussing the price of biscuits.
As soon as the clicking sound stopped, Lu Qin denied it, "There's a reason for it. Just like our biscuits, weren't they selling just mediocrely before? Now that they've become famous, aren't they more expensive than those from other county biscuit factories? That's because of the brand. Everyone wants a big reputation; it sounds prestigious. If our factory works harder, expands its influence, and raises its prices, it won't be a problem if people from other provinces rush to buy our biscuits."
Lu Qin subtly instills new ideas into people.
Brand influence was a strange new term. Director Ren thought carefully about it and just as he reached the crucial moment, a question arose in his mind.
"Well, I'll come."
Lu Qin said from the other end of the phone, "Someone's calling me. Director, I'm hanging up now."
Before hanging up the phone, he didn't forget to finish the remaining few bites.
“Hey.”
The other end of the line hung up quickly. It was completely unexpected. It was like eating something you'd just taken two bites of and then had the craving taken away.
The factory manager, who was left alone on the other end, was still full of questions. "Why is this guy talking halfway? What's the urgent matter?"
Cai Mingju was giving her final instructions to the male classmate, "Come back before 10 p.m. at the latest. If you're any later, I won't open the door for you."
The male student agreed readily.
Cai Mingju got the reply and turned around to see that he had come out, still eating a biscuit in his hand. "It's done."
She went in to check and saw that the phone was put away. She looked at the call time and found that it was shorter than the last time.
Lu Qin took out some money from his pocket. He didn't sound as urgent as the person on the phone said. "I'm done. I'll call you next time. Thank you, sister."
"Two cents is enough." Cai Mingju returned the extra money to him.
"Thank you, sister." Lu Qin smiled generously. He put away the money and wiped the biscuit crumbs from the corner of his mouth. "I'll go upstairs first, sister. By the way, these cookies are delicious. Don't forget to eat them."
The words in his mouth changed completely.
Cai Mingju really thinks her child is sensible.
In the dormitory, a few people heard the noise and greeted each other, then picked up their lunch boxes.
"Lu Qin, we are going to have dinner, are you coming?"
"Wait a moment." Lu Qin took the basin and washed the clothes that he had soaked in the morning and hung them up to dry, then took out three vegetable coupons.
Song Zuwen glanced at it and asked, "Why do you take so much?"
"I'll go home and eat later." Who made him homesick?
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Song Zuwen stood in line behind Lu Qin, listening to him praising the delicious food at school. He kept calling her "sister" and asked her to give him more so that his family could have a taste as well. The old lady actually took a few extra spoonfuls.
Lu Qin carried two full rice bowls of food and said, "I'm going back first."
"Okay." Song Zuwen stared at the old lady, the same one from last time, and answered absentmindedly.
When it was his turn, he forced a smile on his face and called the person "sister" against his conscience.
The old lady looked up and saw that he was reluctant and his hands were shaking even more than last time.
Song Zuwen was full of doubts, could it be that he relied on his face?
There were no classes this afternoon, and it was not yet five o'clock when Lu Qin left the house. He turned and walked towards the elementary school.
Kong Dongdong has now moved to a new place and is still starting from first grade. Lu Chunnong made this decision after carefully comparing the content and textbook publishers in the two provinces.
The affiliated primary school under Ningda University is a whole row of white-walled brick and tile buildings, with a gatekeeper at the door.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. The fair-skinned little boy in the corner put his newly issued books into his bag one by one. The boy next to him stuffed them directly into his bag, "Kong Dongning, get out of class is over, hurry up."
"Okay, I'll be quick." Although Kong Dongdong put the books away one by one, his movements were not slow.
The army green bag hanging around his neck made him stagger. He finally pulled out his lunch box from his desk pocket and held it in his arms. "Let's go."
Two little rascals, one thin and one fat, walked out side by side.
"Kong Dongning, I'm hungry, how about you?"
Kong Dongdong didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and took out the candy he had hidden for a whole day from the inner pocket of his overalls and gave it to him. "Here, fill it up first."
Lu Chunnong has recently restricted his candy intake, so he can only eat one candy a day.
The flesh on both sides of Chen Dongming's cheeks trembled. "Wow, Kong Dongning, you are so nice. I will bring you food tomorrow."
When we arrived at the school gate, it was not open, and the parents had to come one by one before they would let the children in.
Kong Dongdong's arm was suddenly patted by the fat boy next to him. He mumbled with a candy in his mouth, "Kong Dongning, look at that guy. He looks like you."
The young man was carrying a lunch box and had the same bag as Kong Dongdong hanging on one side. He was casually looking at the little carrot head passing by.
The little fat boy seemed to see an incredible scene, and his lips slightly opened. It really seemed like it.
Kong Dongdong stood on tiptoe, his eyes suddenly lit up, "That's my uncle. Chen Dongming, I'm leaving."
Kong Dongdong moved his calves and ran faster than ever before.
"Kong Dongning, wait a minute, wait for me, why did you leave me and run away?" It was not like this yesterday.
A minute later, Lu Qin looked at the two little kids in front of him and fell silent.
He looked at the gatekeeper and asked, "You want to sign, right?"
The gatekeeper looked at him and then at the boy with a look of suspicion on his face. "You are his uncle" is not his biological father.
It's really rare that a child looks like his uncle and doesn't look like his biological father at all.
Kong Dongdong saw someone was suspicious, "Uncle!"
Gatekeeper: ...Actually, you can tell we're related without even calling out.
Lu Qin quickly wrote his name on the form and handed him the pen. "Thank you, sir."
After he finished signing, Kong Dongdong urged him, "Uncle, let's go back. Did you bring any delicious food today?"
Lu Qin: You have a good nose.
"Wait a moment before leaving."
Lu Qin felt a pair of burning gazes on him. He lowered his head and saw a chubby boy wearing overalls, a white shirt, and a black jacket staring at him blankly.
The curiosity in the child's eyes could not be concealed.
"Kong Dongdong, this is your classmate, right?" Lu Qin said, smiling, pointing at the chubby kid. Elementary school kids develop friendships so quickly. He had just seen the chubby kid following his Kong Dongdong around.
Kong Dongdong follows him in this regard.
Kong Dongdong grabbed the hem of his uncle's clothes with one hand, and when he turned around, he found Chen Dongming staring at his uncle blankly.
He looked up and saw his uncle was cheerful. He felt sad at his young age. "Uncle, look at me."
Lu Qin casually touched his head and said, "Look at what you are doing. You watch it every day."
Lu Qin waved his hand in front of the little fat boy and said, "Is your family here? I want to take Kong Dongdong home."
When the little fat boy saw such a handsome guy talking to him, his face instantly turned red and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Uncle."
"Hey!" Lu Qin happily took advantage of it again, "What's your name?"
"His name is Chen Dongming." Kong Dongdong couldn't wait to interrupt.
"My name is Chen Dongming, my name is similar to Dongning's!" The little fat boy patted his chest.
"Kong Dongning, your name is Dongdong, and my name contains the character 'Dong'. Can I be called Chen Dongdong?"
The little fat boy's mind worked very quickly. Lu Qin raised his eyebrows. It happened that he was not in a hurry to go home, so he just wanted to see what Kong Dongdong said.
Kong Dongdong frowned, "But I like to call you Chen Dongming."
The little fat boy stared at his face and said, "Well, call me whatever you like." Friends are more important.
Lu Qin: You already care about looks at such a young age.
Lu Qin bent down patiently, after all, he was Kong Dongdong's classmate. "Why don't you go in first? My Dongdong will invite you over to play on the weekend, okay?"
"Okay, then you have to keep your word." The little fat boy's eyes lit up.
Lu Qin touched Kong Dongdong's head as a reminder.
Kong Dongdong was very sensible and generous in other aspects. "I'm going home now. Come and visit me during the holidays."
"Okay." The little fat boy waved his hand and ran towards his grandmother who had been waiting at the school gate for about five minutes.
