Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 81 Jia Huaihua: I’m looking for my great aunt, where is she?
the next day.

In the morning, Liu Hongchang was walking around in the cafeteria when he heard someone outside saying that someone was looking for him.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw He Guixiang and a man waiting in the shade.

"Hong Chang, this is my brother He Daxiong." He Guixiang introduced coquettishly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The main reason was that her relationship with Liu Hongchang was not open to the public, but she had confessed it to her brother a long time ago, so He Daxiong didn't say much.

"Hello, I'm Liu Hongchang. I often hear Guixiang talk about you." Liu Hongchang stepped forward and shook hands, saying with a smile.

He Daxiong is about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. He is tall and strong, with a sturdy build. He walks with a brisk pace and has a simple and honest look.

At first glance, one would think he is just an honest, taciturn farmer.

But as soon as one meets his pair of eyes, which are clearly black and white, piercing and extremely deep, one's opinion will immediately change.

This is a shrewd and very reserved person, Liu Hongchang thought to himself.

When Liuzi saw that it was Liu Hongchang's guest, he quickly poured out some tea and then went back to his work.

The three of them sat down to drink tea. After He Guixiang introduced the two people to each other, she stopped talking and sat quietly by the side with a faint smile on her face.

Because of He Guixiang, Liu Hongchang and He Daxiong knew each other's general situation, but today was the first time they met.

The two of them didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Liu Hongchang said, "Originally I was planning to ask you to help me with the medicinal materials business, but I recently contracted a food factory and I need a capable assistant in sales. Are you interested?"

"Very interested." He Daxiong smiled, "If I say I'm not interested, the girl won't let me off easily."

"Don't bring this up with me. You men should talk about yourselves with yourselves." He Guixiang glared at him and said angrily.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said thoughtfully: "Let me make it clear first, the salary I give you in the early stage is definitely not as much as you earn from selling melon seeds."

"But in terms of development prospects, it's definitely better than selling sunflower seeds covertly, and you don't have to worry about anything."

He Daxiong nodded and said frankly: "In fact, even if you didn't invite me, I wouldn't plan to sell melon seeds."

"First, my supply has been snatched away by someone else, and second, there has been some rumors of something wrong recently. I plan to stop and find another way."

Liu Hongchang stood up and stretched out his hand, saying happily: "Okay, happy cooperation!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!" He Daxiong said with a naive smile.

"Guixiang, please sit here first. I will take your brother to meet our leader." Liu Hongchang instructed.

He then explained to He Daxiong: "I have discussed it with the canteen manager Li, and he will arrange for me to be the public manager of my factory."

"Oh? Does this mean he will be my leader in the future? It's time I get to know him." He Daxiong said with a smile.

So the two of them went to the office and talked with Manager Li for more than an hour. Finally, He Daxiong left with a smile on his face.

In the backyard, after seeing off He Daxiong and He Guixiang, Manager Li asked Liu Hongchang, "Have you hired any workers?"

"There is no need to rush for ordinary workers. We can recruit them at any time. We have hired seven or eight experienced workers first." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

After looking around for a few times, he turned around and whispered, "They are all retired workers from some old pickle factories."

"That's good." Manager Li felt relieved after hearing that. He paused and asked curiously, "You changed the soy sauce factory into a food factory and only produced pickles?"

"No, we can also produce other things, but we have to wait until the pickles are sold and then we can develop slowly," said Liu Hongchang.

"I am also preparing for a rainy day and thinking of the preparatory work in advance, so as to avoid being blocked by others when changing the business scope after the determination is made."

Manager Li nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I think that medicinal wine is very good. Let's see if we can find a way to get it."

"At worst, you can go and talk to Jin and give him shares. Really, this thing is definitely more profitable than pickles."

Liu Hongchang laughed and said, "Do you think I don't want to? The key is that you know Lao Jin, a stubborn ass!"

In fact, he had other considerations for the medicinal wine. He planned to set up a company and earn foreign exchange after arriving in Hong Kong.

If the development goes smoothly, we will come back to build a factory and set up a branch in the name of Hong Kong capital.

It can even directly authorize the production to Master Liu's food processing factory, which is the soy sauce factory that was contracted, and it can do both.

Of course, the specific operations in the future will have to be decided based on the actual situation.

"That's true. Old Jin is really difficult to talk to. He's the kind of guy who won't listen to anything." Manager Li shook his head when he heard that.

Liu Hongchang smiled secretly, thinking that Old Jin was really suitable to take the blame.

After chatting for a while, the two returned to the cafeteria and went about their own business.

After finishing his busy work in the morning, Liu Hongchang rode his bicycle out of the cafeteria and went to Qin Jingru.

Her mother has been there all this time, so it is not convenient for Liu Hongchang to go.

When delivering vegetables this morning, Qin Jingru said that her mother was going back to the countryside for a few days, so Liu Hongchang planned to go over and keep this resentful woman company.

Knowing that Liu Hongchang was coming, Qin Jingru took half a day off.

After arriving, Liu Hongchang heard the radio playing in Qin Jingru's room from a distance, making some humming sounds, but he wondered if she could understand it.

When I pushed the door open with my bicycle in hand, I saw Qin Jingru sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair and dressing up with great interest.

"I'm here. Please sit for a while. I'll be there soon." Hearing the noise, Qin Jingru turned around and said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang closed the door, leaned his bicycle against the wall, walked up to her, pressed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Let's go out and play?" "It's so hot, why should I go out and play? I'm not going out!" Qin Jingru shook her head.

Liu Hongchang asked curiously, "Why are you dressed so exquisitely?"

"You haven't been here for a long time, so of course I have to show you my best side!" Qin Jingru said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang lowered his head and bit her right earlobe, saying with a smile: "It looks good but you can't eat it."

"Well, I can try it." Qin Jingru tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then pointed to her little mouth with her finger.

Liu Hongchang smiled, went to the side to fetch some water to wash his hands, then sat down at the dining table.

"How's your factory going?" Qin Jingru looked in the mirror, adjusted her hairband, and asked casually.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "What else can I do? I can only officially take over the management after the contract is signed in a few days."

"Do you need my help? Apart from other things, I can still help with the financial aspect." Qin Jingru said.

Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "Not for now. When I need your help, I won't be polite."

Qin Jingru nodded, dressed up, stood up to wash her hands, then walked to Liu Hongchang and sat on his lap.

"I'm a little bit pregnant, look." She hugged Liu Hongchang's neck with one hand, her face full of happiness.

Liu Hongchang lifted her clothes, touched her belly and said, "You still have to be careful during this period and don't jump around too much."

"I know. I didn't expect it would be so hard to have a baby." Qin Jingru complained, leaning close to his ear and whispering, "I miss you so much."

"Don't even think about it. Let's talk about it in two months." Liu Hongchang kissed her and comforted her softly.

Qin Jingru said "oh", leaned in his arms, and asked, "Is the money enough for contracting the factory? If not, I still have some savings here."

"Don't tell me, I've been spending a lot lately and I really need to borrow some money from you." Liu Hongchang replied with a smile.

Qin Jingru cheered up and said happily: "I'll get it back this afternoon, and stay at my cousin's house at night, and give you the money while I'm at it."

"When you go over there, aren't you afraid that Xu Damao will cause trouble for you?" Liu Hongchang asked doubtfully.

Qin Jingru shook her head and said, "He doesn't dare, but my cousin and that stupid Shazhu will help me out."

"Haha, you have such a vicious tongue. Shazhu stood up for you, but you still scolded him." Liu Hongchang couldn't help laughing.

Qin Jingru curled her lips and said, "Do you think he is an honest man? This guy is very cunning and often secretly looks at me."

Because she drank the Red Jade Wine, Qin Jingru now looks only about 25 years old, graceful and charming.

She used to have some moles on her face, but now they are gone, and her skin has become moist, white and rosy, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"But this guy has the intention but not the courage to do anything, and my cousin keeps him under strict control, so there's no need to worry."

"By the way, you know Bang Geng, right? He's my cousin's son. He recently wanted to bring his girlfriend home to live with him, and he asked for Sha Zhu's house. He Yushui came back once, and although she didn't make it clear, she hinted that she didn't want Bang Geng to move in."

Liu Hongchang asked in confusion: "Didn't Shazhu marry Qin Huairu? Isn't the house up to Qin Huairu?"

"That's what I said, but my cousin didn't have a child with Shazhu, and this guy feels uncomfortable about it!" Qin Jingru chuckled.

"So he was also careful about the house. He agreed to let Banggeng live in the deaf old lady's house, but as for his own house, he told Banggeng not to worry about it."

Liu Hongchang laughed when he heard this and said, "Look at how Shazhu behaved in front of Qin Huairu. I'm afraid his little bit of heart is not enough!"

"You are wrong. When Shazhu gets stubborn, even my cousin can't do anything to him." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

As we were talking, someone knocked on the door.

Qin Jingru frowned and looked at Liu Hongchang in confusion, "Who would come to see me at this moment?"

"Go open the door. I'll go take shelter in the inner room." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

Qin Jingru looked unwilling. She finally had the chance to spend some time in private with Liu Hongchang, but someone came to disturb her. She was so annoyed!
After Liu Hongchang went to the inner room, Qin Jingru rushed over to open the door. When she opened it, she saw that it was Sophora japonica.

"Aunt!" Jia Huaihua called out with a smile.

Qin Jingru frowned and asked, "Why are you coming to my place on such a hot day?"

"Well, I went to the department store with some friends to play for a while, and I wanted to come see you when I came back." Jia Huaihua's smile froze, and he wondered why Qin Jingru was unhappy?
After a pause, she asked with concern: "Aunt, is something wrong? Why do you look weird?"

Is that right? This damn kid disturbed my good time, but I can't say this.

Qin Jingru lied, "Maybe the weather is too hot and I feel a little uncomfortable. Huaihua, you go back first. I'll go to your house in the evening. I won't keep you here for now."

"Well... I'd better stay with you!" Jia Huaihua said hesitantly, and then he slipped into the house while she wasn't paying attention.

He looked around and found that there was no one in the house, so he immediately went to the inner room, but there was no one there either.

"What are you doing?" Qin Jingru was frightened and furious, and scolded with a frown and cold eyes.

Jia Huaihua was stunned for a moment, then said innocently, "I'm looking for my great aunt, where is she?"

"She went back to the countryside today." Qin Jingru said unhappily, pointing outside and said, "You go first, I want to rest!"

Jia Huaihua said "oh" and walked out, asking, "You really don't need me to accompany you?"

"No need. Why are you talking so much? It's so annoying!" Qin Jingru walked up to her and pushed her out, saying impatiently.
