Chapter 226 Vegetable Noodles
After Li Luo came out of the factory director's office, many employees were secretly observing Li Luo, each with their own plans in mind.
For many employees, they are already old and have only this one skill. If they look for other jobs, they may not be as profitable as the current one.
But if Li Luo didn't take over this mess, they didn't know what to do.
Of course, Qi Nana doesn't want the factory to close down. After all, the results of her and her master's works have not yet been evaluated, so she naturally can't give up at this juncture.
"Luoluo, if you don't have enough money, I can help you pay for it, although I don't have much on hand." Qi Nana thought for a while and spoke.
Li Luo raised his eyes and was slightly surprised: "You... I thought you would change your career and do another job." Li Luo teased Qi Nana with a smile.
"No, since I entered this line of work, I have never thought about looking for another job. I like the various patterns that can be drawn on cloth with needle and thread, such as blue sky, white clouds, mountains and rivers."
“Anything that can be imagined can be sketched out with needle and thread.”
"When the factory manager said that this factory was going to go bankrupt, I was thinking about finding another textile factory to work in. But I didn't expect you to show up at this time. The people in the factory have been in a panic these past two days. I'm afraid that many people will run away."
What Qi Nana said was true. After all, after hearing the rumor that a textile factory was going to go out of business, nearly one-fifth of the employees were fired, and even the previously overdue wages were fully paid.
The rest of the people were also afraid that they would be persuaded to resign, so they simply found their next job in advance and then turned around and submitted their resignation to the factory. The factory also readily handled the procedures for them.
If Li Luo acquired the factory, the remaining people would definitely question Li Luo's ability. If the morale of a factory is low, then the factory will really have to be closed.
"Luoluo, although I also want you to take over this place, to be honest, I am not optimistic about this factory. I am not doubting your ability, but I am doubting whether the people in the factory can live up to your trust."
Qi Nana's words were completely based on Li Luo's perspective.
Li Luo laughed and said, "If it wasn't for the factory that was about to close down, I might not have been able to get this bargain."
"If the factory is profitable, how can I get a chance to make a profit? Even if I just buy the factory, I've already made a profit."
What Li Luo didn't tell Qi Nana was that this textile factory would later be located in the city center due to the shift of the economic center of gravity. Just buying this piece of land would be a lucrative deal.
Now that I have the ability to acquire this textile factory, why not do it?
"Workers are not a problem. Even if we stop production for a few days, I can afford the loss. Besides, you also said that some talents will be lost. But what if I raise everyone's salary?"
"I think there will always be brave men when there is a big reward."
Li Luo's words left Qi Nana speechless. She had already seen Li Luo's determination to win the textile factory, and he was willing to raise the workers' wages. This was also good news for Qi Nana.
"In that case, I won't advise you anymore. You've acquired the factory and made it bigger and stronger. I should congratulate you." Qi Nana also smiled sincerely.
By the time Qi Nana sent the two out of the farm, Tang Qiqi's heartbeat hadn't yet calmed down: "Luoluo, is everything that just happened true? Are we really going to acquire this textile factory?"
Tang Qiqi didn't dare to look at Li Luo. She covered her chest and gasped for breath.
Li Luo laughed: "Why? Is Boss Tang scared?"
The word "Boss Tang" made Tang Qiqi glare at Li Luo with annoyance again: "What are you talking about? Even if we can take out 100,000 yuan now, as long as the boss doesn't agree to sell the factory to us, we can only sigh with a pile of money in our arms." But the prerequisite is that they can buy this piece of land.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way when we reach the mountain." Li Luo comforted Tang Qiqi.
"But Luoluo, doing business is really not easy."
Tang Qiqi suddenly sighed: "Old Qi was full of ambition at the beginning and wanted to open a furniture factory, but later he was falsely accused of using tainted cotton to make sofas, and in the end he almost lost all his family fortune."
This was the first time Tang Qiqi told Li Luo about her family's affairs: "But there is no other way. We can't find any evidence. We can only pay compensation."
"Luoluo, if it weren't for you, I would have divorced Lao Qi by now." Tang Qiqi forced a relieved smile.
"You haven't divorced yet, right? And your life is getting better and better. We will be even better in the future." Li Luo held Tang Qiqi's hand tightly and smiled softly.
"Luoluo, having a friend like you makes this life worthwhile." Tang Qiqi said from the bottom of her heart.
After finishing their work, they went home.
When Li Luo brought Yaya back from Cheng Yuzhu's place, he found that fragrance was coming from the kitchen at home and there were two busy little figures inside.
"Big Mao, Little Mao, what's wrong with you?" Li Luo was very surprised. She originally thought that Ling Zhuoqun was in the kitchen, and she also said that Ling Zhuoqun got off work quite early today.
I saw Ling Xiaoguang still holding a spatula in his hand, and Ling Xiaolei next to him holding a bowl of water.
"Mom, we are cooking noodles~" Ling Xiaolei turned his head and saw Li Luo holding Yaya, and smiled at Li Luo.
Ling Xiaoguang stared at the lid of the pot seriously. When he saw that the water was about to seep out, he quickly opened the lid and said, "Add some water quickly."
Ling Xiaolei stood on tiptoe and poured the water in, and soon the splashes returned to calm.
"Over there is the scrambled eggs with vegetables that my brother has cooked~" Ling Xiaolei put down the bowl in his hand and pointed to the vegetables in the iron pot next to him.
Li Luo looked at the noodles in the water. They were the dried noodles she had bought for convenience. She didn't expect that they would come in handy today.
Li Luo walked into the kitchen, took out a pair of chopsticks and tasted the food. Although the saltiness was a little light, the eggs were tender and the vegetables were just the right crispness.
"It's delicious! Damao, you have a talent for cooking." Li Luo rinsed the chopsticks and pinched Ling Xiaoguang's face.
Ling Xiaoguang's ears suddenly turned red. Although Li Luo often praised the two brothers, Ling Xiaoguang would still feel secretly happy because of Li Luo's praise.
"Mom, wait outside for a while. My brother and I will bring the food over soon." Ling Xiaoguang turned off the fire and turned to talk to Li Luo.
Li Luo nodded: "You have to be careful and don't burn yourself. There are thick gloves over there." After instructing the two, Li Luo brought Yaya out.
"Yaya, do you think my brother is awesome? He can even cook noodles! It's much better than the black noodles we ate before, isn't it?"
Yaya also nodded seriously: "Brother, great!"
