The booming era begins with private customization

Chapter 422: Long-lasting Love [ words]

After hearing what Li Mao said, Lou Xiao'e's face, which was originally a little troubled, immediately changed color.

Although Li Mao was assigned as secretary.

But to have such a meeting, he needs to meet with a factory director who is of a higher level than him, or who is similar to him.

For mutual respect, Li Mao never took Lou Xiaoe with him.

Although the rations are provided by the above.

But the levels are all about the same, and some even have a lot of workers under them because of the location, but the level cannot keep up.

Taking a secretary with you at such a time would not only be a big deal, but would also make it easy for others to stop talking.

Don't think that just because you are a big old man, you don't have your wits about you.

Sometimes, when the elders gossip, that's called being recalcitrant.

Regarding Lou Xiao'e's confusion, Li Mao didn't have much explanation at this time. He just shook his head in a muffled voice:
"Go and do it first. After the flowers are sent back, you can call over Yu Haitang and He Yuyu.

"Call the security department and arrange for someone to send the flowers back."

Lou Xiao'e, the former eldest daughter of the Lou family, didn't even understand.

Even in some aspects, it is not as good as these two pots. "

But if my predictions are correct, in two months there will be a selection meeting for orchids that are either big or small.

Hmm. No, He Yuyu has left Kyoto City and been to Baoding.

After this period of time, Lou Xiao'e has slowly accepted it, learned to ignore the occasional noise in the office, and officially took over her job. Lou Xiao'e has become accustomed to this kind of life.

It's not that I can't think of it, but the situation here simply doesn't allow for such a big deal.

"Those two pots of flowers?"

After all, he is not a stupid and hopeless person, and that is all he said.

technology?
In other words, this thing is not from your hometown at all?
Hearing these two words, Li Mao, who was originally a little confused about what Lou Xiaoe was calling him, suddenly changed his expression.

It’s not like Lou Xiao’e couldn’t tell that there was something wrong with the flower.

Although she didn't know what happened to that terrible father, after all, he was still her father.

We have already drawn a clear line. These worthless pots of flowers shouldn't be such a taboo.

At the end of the sentence, Lou Xiao'e's voice lowered.

It's just two pots of flowers.

In fact, whenever Li Mao goes to a meeting, Lou Xiao'e just thinks that she has an extra half day of paid leave.

Looking at He Yuyu who was confused and followed Yu Haitang, and Lou Xiao'e who was clenching her fists cautiously and looking uneasy, Li Mao slowly explained:
“I never thought before that our factory would encounter people with such methods.

Lou Xiao'e tilted her head in confusion, wondering why Li Mao was so angry.

He said that he went to the south with someone before, and it looked fresh, so he thought of bringing it back to you for a look.

After all, girls, even if they don’t like red clothes and weapons, they will always take one or two more glances at beautiful things.

They look like just two pots of ordinary flowers.

"what?"

It was precisely for this reason that Li Mao did not choose to take Lou Xiaoe with him.

Lou Xiao'e stood up and stood behind Li Mao with her head raised, admiration in her eyes.

The office door was closed tightly.

"Isn't it beautiful? Dong Lou sent it.

I haven't taught you before, but now that I've encountered it, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you anymore. "

The words in Li Mao's mouth were plausible and did not look like lies at all.

Even if the person who sent the flowers was Lou Bancheng, her former father.

Although there are only two pots of flowers, except that the flower pots are from us, the real flower branches are said to be cultivated using some technology there. "

But no matter how good the flowers are, the two pots of flowers that will win the prize in the end will definitely be similar to the two pots of flowers sent by the previous person.

Yu Haitang and He Yuyu, who had never even been out of Kyoto City, were even more puzzled.

After the two pots of flowers were sent away by the security department of the machinery factory.

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e, who was a little confused and even a little angry, suddenly changed her face.

South?

If appropriate, there may even be flowers from our side on display.

You wouldn't show such a big reaction, right?

But ever since I heard whether this flower came from the south or was made using technology, I didn’t dare to keep this thing.

For some reason, the few people who usually didn't react much to the closing of the door now had their own thoughts in their minds.

The expression on his face changed, and he left quickly.

"It's just two pots of flowers, isn't it?"

Lou Xiao'e laughed flatteringly, feeling very puzzled.

Just two pots of beautiful-looking orchids, but there are so many twists and turns inside?
Admittedly, even Lou Xiao'e has to admit that the two pots of orchids that are said to have used certain techniques are more beautiful.

But is it just beautiful, worth all the twists and turns?

"Is Brother Li Mao thinking too much?

That's a selection. If you really can control those people, why are you sending flowers to our factory? "

He Yuyu's mouth curled up. She had always been like this, so it was no problem for her to ask this question.

"That's right, Brother Li Mao, he can control that kind of competition. If you really want to ask for help from our factory, wouldn't it be nice to just come to our factory?"

Why do you need to send these two pots of flowers through Mr. Lou?

It’s such a big deal, isn’t it? "

As He Yueyue opened his mouth, Yu Haitang, who didn't understand the twists and turns, but was equally curious, had a puzzled look on his face.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e, who had not spoken much, now had nervous sweat dripping down her face.

Not hot.

It's a cold sweat.

After observing the reactions of several people, Li Mao sighed silently in his heart: After all, he has seen some things in the world. Although his brain is not good, he can still react by analogy.

He straightened his expression, raised his chin, and signaled to the silent Lou Xiao'e:
"It seems you understand. Let's talk about it. I'll also listen to your thoughts, right?"

When Li Mao spoke, He Yuyu and Yu Haitang would naturally not talk back.

Both of their eyes fell on Lou Xiao'e, their probing eyes seemed to want to see what she could say.

"I don't know if what I'm thinking is right, but if the factory director is worried, it should be what I guessed."

Lou Xiao'e stood there with a pale face, cold sweat dripping from her forehead. She was not like Qin Huairu, who would only drop small pearls when something happened.

After making such an opening statement, Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath, mustered up the courage in her heart, and looked into Li Mao's eyes:
“I couldn’t understand it originally.

But when the factory director reminded me, I remembered what I had heard before.

But there was no such taboo at that time, and the things used were not inconspicuous things like orchids.

Even if the large yellow croaker is not used, most of them are ancient martial arts that are rare in the outside world.

As the old saying goes, it's hard to buy good things with money.

In the past, some people would ask someone to invite them to visit the ghost market, go to specific stalls, and buy specific things.

When the items arrive home, hold a tasting party.

Then within a few days, a good buyer will come to your door.

No matter how cheap it is when you buy it, there is never a precise price for things like antiques.

If others are willing to spend money to buy something they like, it doesn't stop anyone.

Even if others knew about it, they would just say good luck. "

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e paused briefly for a few seconds. Looking at Li Mao's encouraging eyes, she felt a little calmer:

“The factory director said before that these two pots of flowers will look inconspicuous.

But after an exhibition was held there and a pot of orchids was auctioned off at a sky-high price, what would be the price of the two better pots in our factory?
At that time, if someone else makes a big name and comes to our factory to buy with great fanfare, how should we deal with it?

In terms of emotion and reason, we can't explain these two precious flowers clearly. "

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, her thoughts were straightened out and she wished she could vomit a few ounces of blood now to prove her thoughts.

You know, this flower was sent by Lou Bancheng!

When I sent flowers, I also said a lot of nice things to her.

There is no shortage of words to belittle the men of the Lou family and praise her, Lou Xiao'e.

Originally, Lou Xiaoe thought that she was really making a difference.

Now based on this analysis, co-authoring is a drunkard's intention and not the wine.

Thinking of the tragic situation of her family, a trace of despair appeared on Lou Xiao'e's pale face.

Her father really didn't consider how this would affect her.

After giving Lou Xiao'e a calm look, Li Mao did not open his mouth to dissuade such nonsense.

In the final analysis, this matter is an internal matter for people named Lou.

Even if the relationship is broken, Lou Xiao'e's surname is still Lou.

If not, you wouldn't be able to enter half the city of Lou without even entering the main gate of the machinery factory.

If Mrs. Tan hadn't donated something and Lou Xiao'e had become his secretary, Lou Bancheng wouldn't have found this opportunity to plot against Li Mao.

"That's how things should be, but I think this incident should not be aimed at our machinery factory, but me, Li Mao.

As for what they are plotting, it is unlikely that they are factories in Kyoto that do not belong to our family.

To put it bluntly, a factory that is not on their territory is not worth paying such a high price.

Similarly, a machinery factory of this size is not worthy of Lou Bancheng taking advantage of Lou Xiao'e, who has a weak relationship with him.

Unless, after this matter is completed, it will be of great benefit to them.

Unless, after this matter is completed, the marginal benefits distributed will be enough for Lou Bancheng to betray his biological daughter.

From this point of view, something must have happened over there.

The men in the Lou family who have little potential can only rely on these little tricks to help others plan some scraps. "

Li Mao spoke calmly and explained generously.

But to Yu Haitang and He Yuyu's ears, it was a stormy sea.

This kind of high-level frame-up, with so much money, but a great reputation.

It's fine if you come to the machinery factory, but if you go to Li Mao? That would end their family's future.

It's not possible to do business in a way that's easy to negotiate and talk about. Instead, it will bankrupt people's fortunes and lose their lives, so we have to take over everything.

Such ruthless methods were truly something the two of them had never come across before.

"Brother Li Mao, what should we do?"

"His grandma's fault! Brother Li Mao, let's do it! I'll go find the security department, let's strike first and take down Lou Bancheng!"
Is it really true that you have lost all your wealth and yet you are still trying to make a fool of yourself in front of us? !

Are you plotting against our family? It’s too late to go against the grain! "

The previous sentence of worry was said by He Yuyu.

The last sentence, that he didn't save any face for Lou Xiao'e and wanted to take people to arrest Lou Bancheng, was said by Yu Haitang.

Not only that, Yu Haitang looked eager to try, and he really seemed to want to lead the team. Lou Xiao'e hesitated to speak. She wanted to say something, but she never said it.

Say what?

It was her father who harmed others, and no matter what the reason was, it was her current benefactor.

The two had already parted ways at that time, and even if there was some emotion, not much remained after Mrs. Tan died.

Don't look at how favored Lou Xiao'e seemed to be when she was at Lou's house before.

But in fact, Lou Xiaoe knew that in the past, she was just a pawn in the marriage.

Before they parted ways and there were no other children left in Kyoto, she, Lou Xiaoe, was just a tool to express her position.

In a family like the Lou family, the important thing is always the men.

If this were not the case, Lou Xiaoe would not have gone to the south, but would have been ostracized by her half-brother.

It is not uncommon for a father to cheat his own daughter for the sake of a man in the family, in a family like the Lou family.

In the early years, Lou Xiao'e had not heard of the fact that in order to win some business, her daughter would be given some inhuman things to play with.

That is, the business was finally won.

The daughter who gives the most will only be laughed at by her family.

Looking away from Lou Xiao'e's embarrassed face, Li Mao blinked and retorted angrily:
"Catch? We are just a machinery factory, don't say that this kind of thing has not happened yet.

Even if it happens, why should we arrest him?

Based on the one-sided words of a few of us?

I called you here today just to give you some peace of mind. Our family will not be short of anything.

There is no need to talk to someone for nothing.

There are only so many places to spend money these days. The combined salary of the three of us is a few hundred yuan a month.

How much is too much?
If you really want something, you would rather spend more money and be accused of being taken advantage of than give the opportunity to be corrupted.

The roads in our machinery factory are getting wider and wider now, and those outside will not only be staring at us from now on.

Those people want to trap me, and they need some means to beat around the bush.

When it comes to the hands of some people, they can give us a severe blow if they catch our painful feet. "

What Li Mao said was somewhat meaningful.

After suppressing Yu Haitang's resentment, Li Mao simply waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave first when looking at Lou Xiao'e, whose face was still pale.

When only Li Mao and Lou Xiao'e were left in the house.

Li Mao then leaned on the backrest behind him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and picked up the teapot at hand:

“You don’t have to worry about this.

Remember from now on, we can’t collect anything, whether it’s in the courtyard or the factory. "

"Hey, I know about the factory director. I'm sorry for you. I. I'll make it clear to him later."

Lou Xiao'e bit the corner of her mouth, feeling very guilty on her face.

After all, the person handling this matter was Lou Bancheng.

It was she, Lou Xiaoe, who was used as a means.

The annoyance in her heart increased, and Lou Xiao'e even called him angrily.

But even if she was angry in her heart, Lou Xiao'e could only do what she did now.

As for making trouble with Lou Bancheng because of Li Mao?

She really doesn't have the skills and courage.

"Okay, you just have to know what's going on. By the way, this is the content of today's meeting. Take your notebook to the Publicity Department, discuss it with Yu Haitang and the others, and come up with a draft notice.

The matter is rather urgent and you need to give me a quick look before you get off work.

I know that you have been studying hard recently. When I write the manuscript, you will be watching from the side. If there is no mistake, I will learn some experience.

If you make a mistake, learn from it.

The scale of our factory is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, you, the secretary, will have to run outside with me. "

He watched Li Mao seriously take out the notebook that recorded the meeting contents.

Lou Xiao'e suddenly felt less afraid in her heart.

"Hey, I understand, director."

After steeling herself and responding, Lou Xiao'e straightened her back and walked quickly towards the Publicity Department.

Li Mao picked up the fresh newspaper on the table and read it for two or three minutes before picking up the phone on the table.

"Hey, Machinery Factory, please help me pick up Qisuo."

This was an expected code. It was connected to a unit called No. 7. Li Mao's call must be connected to Bai Ling.

"Hey, it's so new today. How come we, Director Li Da, have time to read my sister's music today?

Tell me, where are you going to invite your sister to have dinner?

Don't tell me that your sister is bullying you. All of your sister's salary this month was borrowed by that cheater Zheng Chaoyang.

If I don't invite my sister to dinner, I will say 'nice words' to Yuanyuan later. "

Bai Ling's slightly brisk voice came from the receiver.

Each one had no money, and each one was treated to a meal. Li Mao was not treated as an outsider in any of his words.

"Huh, what Sister Bai Ling said, it's not like you don't know where the door of our machinery factory opens.

If we really have no money, is it possible that when we come here, we can still eat less than Sister Bai Ling?
Not to mention anything else, there are no four dishes and one soup, and the large table in the middle stove cannot keep up.

As long as you don't dislike big pot rice, Sister Bai Ling can come over and eat with me. "

Li Mao muttered haha, listening to the other party's brisk voice, the words on his lips suddenly changed in another direction:
"But Sister Bai Ling just said, Zheng Chaoyang borrowed money?

His monthly salary is so high and he still has seniority. I asked Sister Bai Ling why you borrowed money? "

Li Mao said this carelessly. He originally wanted to make a haha ​​casually and find an entry point.

Who would have thought that just after these words came out, Bai Ling heard a relieved tone in the receiver:

"What else can I borrow money for? Not only did I borrow money, but I also asked how many tickets I borrowed.

Speaking of tickets, I have to thank Yuanyuan for this. Without Yuanyuan's help, I really wouldn't be able to buy this wedding stuff for Zheng Chaoyang.

Good guy, I don’t know where he got the idea. He hadn’t prepared for it for many years, and he was going to get married this month.

Three turns and one ring are enough, quilts, one side are not bad.

Handkerchiefs, spittoons, wash basins, and thermos bottles are always the best.

That is to say, I can't get a TV ticket. If I can get a TV, this bitch is going to let me buy him a black and white TV! "

Listening to Bai Ling's seemingly unresponsive voice, Li Mao's mind suddenly changed.

Ever since the first black and white TV went offline in March of 1958, for some people, this kind of thing is no longer something that can only be viewed from a distance.

Although there is no external sales, if you go and get one, you can get one or two.

The only problem is that there are no stations at this time and they can only be used at certain times.

"Hey, good guy, TV?! What's going on? Who is Zheng Chaoyang planning to marry? With such a generous gift?

This incident was really sudden. "

Although I don’t understand why Zheng Chaoyang gave up on Bai Ling.

But in this situation, it would be difficult for Li Mao to ask questions if Bai Ling didn't say anything.

Not to mention that the call I made today was not for gossip.

“Who says it’s not? I don’t know where the money for this piece of shit went.

After working for so many years, I didn’t save any money, not to mention tickets.

Not only did they borrow all of mine, they also managed to get some from Lao Hao. I have to say that these two brothers are really bachelors.

The two grown men couldn't put together a hundred yuan.

That is to say, the person she married was introduced by the old leader. Otherwise, the old leader would definitely be wiped out. "

Bai Ling joked in a normal rhythm, if Li Mao hadn't known that the call was a work phone used to cover up.

I'm afraid everyone suspects that Bai Ling's level is high enough to install a phone in her home.

But the old leader?
Is he the only one who can be called an old leader by Bai Ling and make Zheng Chaoyang and Lao Hao embarrassed to borrow money?
Who introduced it?

Heck, this bitch Zheng Chaoyang has given up.

"Sister Bai Ling, don't you have any ideas?"

Without asking further questions, Li Mao just made a joke.

"Ideas? What thoughts can I have? It doesn't matter that I, a weak woman, live alone.

But Zheng Chaoyang, this bitch, is a grown man. He has been carrying on the family line for so many years, so it’s normal that he can’t handle it anymore.

Now that I am just on the right track, what can I say?

Okay, I won’t talk nonsense to you kid anymore.

Zheng Chaoyang, this bitch, is sitting next to me. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. If my sister doesn’t have money to eat, she will go to your factory to enjoy the autumn breeze.

I heard that the pickled fish from your factory is excellent.

When the time comes, I will bring my own fish, and you have to show me your skills. "

Listen to Bai Ling's words from Zheng Chaoyang's side.

Li Mao himself could picture Bai Ling forcing a smile and rolling her eyes.

"Huh, Sister Bai Ling is a good eater, but pickled fish? You don't need to come to our factory for this.

One day when Sister Bai Ling is free, she will go directly to the courtyard to eat.

My sister's best friend, He Yuyu, is not bad at making pickled fish.

I'm preparing a bottle of good wine then, just as a thank you gift for the news I'm waiting for. "

Knowing that the person on the other side was struggling to hold on, Li Mao didn't try to expose it. He just followed the words and asked what he wanted to ask.

"Yes, because you are so considerate, sister, I will just go with you for a while and don't look back. Next weekend, next weekend I will go to your courtyard factory to try your craftsmanship.

Okay, if you want to ask something, ask it quickly. I have a shameless old man waiting here to borrow money. "

Bai Ling joked.

As the topic got heated, Li Mao asked directly:
"Who gave Lou Bancheng the idea to trick me?"

As soon as he said these words, Li Mao heard the sound of the bench legs rubbing against the ground from the receiver.

"Hey, you are our young hero from Kyoto, your brain is really quick to react.

You just returned to the factory not long ago, right?
Is this obvious?
Let me guess, those around you are all unbeaten. Could it be that the one who can see this kind of thing is that silly Lou Xiao'e?

Tsk tsk, it’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Just like some people, they talk about love for a long time, but he is the first to be unable to bear it.

After all this time, you still have the nerve to ask me to borrow money. "

how to say.

Even Li Mao didn't expect that what he said just now was so nice that he suddenly became sour now.

How should he proceed with these words?

(End of this chapter)
