80s: Daughter-in-law Is Sweet and Sassy (My 80's Wife Is Sweet And Cool)

"Manager Gu isn't here?" The strange man's tone was a little hesitant. His accent was from the north, not a native of Shanghai.

"He went out to do errands. What can I do for you?"

Chu Qiao didn't know the origin of this man, so she was very careful with her words for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"I am Zheng Yuqiang from Hongchang Auto Parts Factory. I have some business matters with Manager Gu. I just found no one in the office, so I made this call. Are you his lover?" The man introduced himself, but did not say anything specific.

Chu Qiao frowned. The name Zheng Yuqiang was very strange and she definitely didn't recognize it, but the name Hongchang Auto Parts Factory sounded strangely familiar. She must have heard it before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Yes, I am his lover. He will go home around 5:30. If you are not in a hurry, I will ask him to call you when he gets home, okay?"

"Okay, my phone number is..."

Zheng Yuqiang reported his phone number. Chu Qiao asked for a pen and paper, wrote it down, and then said: "I live in the factory, you can call me at any time."

"Okay, I'll let him fight when he comes back."

Chu Qiao was recording and talking, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "Is your factory on Jiangshan Road? Do you have two big wolf dogs?"

She remembered that this Hongchang Auto Parts Factory was the same one she had visited a few days ago. The old janitor had eaten her five donkeys and rolled around, and there were two ferocious wolf dogs. She even left a business card that day.

Unexpectedly, there would be a follow-up. Could this Zheng Yuqiang want to buy a machine tool?

Chu Qiao's heart was beating fast and her throat was a little dry. Could it be that Zheng Yuqiang heard what she said to the gatekeeper that day?

A man's chuckle came from the phone, and Zheng Yuqiang remembered what his father said to him, "That little girl is very timid. She squatted at the door of our factory for a long time, staring at the big tiger and the little tiger. Even this rat has the guts to imitate others and sell machine tools, but the donkey rolling she makes is so delicious, just like your mother's craftsmanship."

Big Tiger and Little Tiger are two dogs raised by his father. They look fierce, but in fact they are really fierce. He usually only listens to his father's words. Not to mention the little girl, even he does not dare to get close to the two dogs.

"Yes, my father praised the donkey rolling you made as delicious." Zheng Yuqiang said with a smile.

Chu Qiao regretted what she just blurted out. After hearing this, she quickly understood that the janitor had a lot of background. No wonder he called. She was really blind and hit a dead mouse that day.

"I brought too little that day. If your father likes to eat, I will make more for him next time." Chu Qiao said with a smile, wanting to get closer to this man.

Although I don’t know Zheng Yuqiang’s identity, I can call him, so he obviously has a high status in Hongchang Auto Parts Factory. He is probably the person in charge of purchasing machine tools, so I can’t go wrong with building a good relationship.

Judging from the man's tone, he should be a filial son. Chu Qiao decided to follow the parents' route. She just had a casual chat with the janitor that day, and Zheng Yuqiang called her. Obviously, the janitor had a say in front of Zheng Yuqiang. You can't go wrong with a good relationship.

"Would it be too much trouble?" Zheng Yuqiang was a little embarrassed.

After all, they were not familiar with each other, and Gu Ye's family background was not low, so he asked his wife to cook food for his father. He was afraid that Gu Ye would have some ideas, but since his father came to Shanghai, nothing he ate was to his taste. After a while, he couldn't find a suitable northern cook. Seeing that his father had lost a lot of money, Zheng Yuqiang would have wanted his father to return to the capital if it weren't for the fact that the factory was inseparable from people.

Ever since he ate Chu Qiao's Donkey Roll that day, his father had been talking about it every day. Zheng Yuqiang went to several dim sum shops and the old man was not satisfied with the Donkey Roll he bought. He said it was not as delicious as the one made by that pretty girl. Chu Qiao took the initiative to mention it. Of course, Zheng Yuqiang couldn't ask for this.

Chu Qiao said hurriedly: "It's not troublesome. My husband and the children at home like to eat snacks. I make them almost every day. I didn't make them specially for your father. It's really not troublesome."

"Then I'm not welcome. My father talks about your donkey rolling every day. I went to several stores, but none of them were to the old man's liking. He is from the capital and is not used to the food here, and he can't find good food. Chef, I'm very worried." Zheng Yuqiang rarely said what was in his heart, with guilt in his tone.

In order to start his own business, the old man went to a foreign land to toil at a young age and had no food or sleep. He was so unfilial, but apart from his own father, he really had no one else he trusted, so he could only work hard for the old man.

Chu Qiao felt happy. She intuitively felt that Zheng Yuqiang called to buy a machine tool, otherwise he would not have let her wallow. Business people are very smart and do not like to owe favors. If Zheng Yuqiang did not buy a machine tool, Zheng Yuqiang would He probably wouldn't accept her snack.

"The food in Shanghai is rich in oil and red sauce, and the taste is a bit sweet. Your father is from the north, so he must not be used to it. My father-in-law is from the north. He has lived in Shanghai for decades and is still not used to it. My favorite dish is dumplings stuffed with scallions and meat, and he also likes to eat rolled noodles. He can eat a big bowl with chili oil, so he only eats a few bites of our dish."

Chu Qiao understands very well that it is really difficult to change people's tastes. Wherever they live since childhood, their tastes are always there. Even if they go to other places when they grow up, it is still difficult to change. The taste of their hometown and mother is always engraved in their bones.

For example, Mr. Gu still talks about the dumplings made by his old mother. Maybe the dumplings made by the old lady are not the most delicious, but in Mr. Gu's heart, his mother's dumplings are definitely the most unique in the world.

"Yes, yes, my father also likes to eat dumplings stuffed with scallions and meat, and he also likes to eat noodles with spicy oil. You and your father-in-law can have one." Zheng Yuqiang seemed to have found a soulmate, and he and Chu Qiao were able to chat together. , and he was quite talkative to begin with, and his father had a very good impression of Chu Qiao, so he unknowingly chatted a lot about what was on his mind.

Chu Qiao knew in her mind that as long as she liked to eat, she had no other skills, but she was somewhat confident in making food. She could definitely catch the old man's stomach, so she said: "When I have the opportunity, I will introduce my father-in-law to your father. He We are about the same age, so we should be able to talk to each other."

"That's good. My father doesn't have any friends here. He's not familiar with the place. Please worry about it."

Chu Qiao's proposal played into Zheng Yuqiang's mind. He had already investigated Gu Ye's family background before calling him. Mr. Gu was a veteran cadre with a high status. Being friends with the Gu family would be of great benefit to him in setting up a factory in Shanghai. Naturally, He wanted his father to have a good relationship with Mr. Gu, and his father really had no friends here. He chatted with two dogs every day, which made him feel sad.

"You are so polite. I was casually strolling in the industrial area that day and happened to chat with your father. We got along quite well. What a rare fate this is. Besides, your father and I also got along well. I will definitely introduce him to my father-in-law if I get the chance." Chu Qiao chose her words carefully, not to appear too proactive, as that would make Zheng Yuqiang feel that she was deliberately trying to curry favor.

Although she was indeed trying to curry favor with others, she couldn't be too arrogant and had to have a good sense of proportion.
