Chapter 225: Feel free to ask for anything

Lu Wenhua treated it as a joke and really stamped the document. He also wrote a sentence on the top of the document, which meant that only if the products made by Xiangyang Commune were popular, they would consider opening a workshop and provide the procedures for affiliation. Otherwise, there would be no room for negotiation.

After all, no matter how bad the food produced by the non-staple food factory is, it is still a legitimate state-owned unit. If there is any problem with the food produced by the workshop, the one who would be most unlucky is Mr. Lu.

Shen Meng got what he wanted, so he was naturally not ambiguous about the price of the grain. He simply reduced the price of each type by at least 40% from the original price. With such a large reduction, Lu Wenhua was very satisfied.

Of course, this cooperation does not require much food. When both parties are testing the waters, it is impossible for them to spend money to buy so much food at once, otherwise someone in the factory will notice it.

Shen Meng had already found the location for the transaction, an abandoned house, which used to be the property of a wealthy landlord and is now owned by the government. However, everyone thinks this place is unlucky and no one is willing to come there.

The first transaction was two days later, and after it was finalized, she returned to the bus company.

Hu Biao was very enthusiastic to see her come back, and Shen Meng vaguely saw gossip in his face.

"Xiao Meng, you're back. Comrade Hu has been waiting for you for a long time. Where did you go to eat? Why did it take so long?" Wei Jia stood beside Hu Biao holding a teacup, reaching out to speak to Shen Meng.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Next time Comrade Hu comes over, I will definitely set off firecrackers to welcome him. Sister Wei, do you think it's okay?"

"Sister Meng, I don't mean that. Don't say that. If Qianqian knew, she would be mad at me. Comrade, I'm waiting for my sister here, so you don't need to worry about me. Just go and do what you need to do!"

Hu Biao was not polite at all. As soon as he arrived at the bus company, this person started chatting with him as if they were familiar with each other. He ignored her several times, but he didn't expect that this female comrade would not leave, especially now that she was lecturing his sister like an elder. He could not tolerate this.

Wei Jia smiled awkwardly at Hu Biao, then looked at Shen Meng. How could she be like this? He was just boasting. It was indeed he who taught her when she first came, so he could be considered half a master.

Now she's not even willing to have any relationship with her. I bought her five head flowers in vain, but still haven't seen the finished products.

"It's okay, I was just joking with Sister Wei. She has a very broad mind and can't be mad at me, right, Sister Wei?"

Seeing that she said something nice to him again, Wei Jia's dissatisfied expression immediately disappeared.

"Of course not. I'm the quickest-witted person. I get along well with Xiao Meng. That's how we usually talk. So, Comrade Hu, have a good chat with Xiao Meng. I'll go get you two glasses of water!"

Those who were waiting to see the joke in the office didn't see Wei Jia's joke. Instead, they watched the three people and laughed at the end. For a moment, they all regretted why they didn't go over. If they could get in touch with Hu Biao, it would be equivalent to getting in touch with both the textile factory and the county party committee. Even if he couldn't help them do anything, they could still get some influence by telling others about it.

"Why are you here? Didn't you bring me food today?"

"No, no, Qianqian listens to you the most. When you said no, she immediately asked Aunt Chang to cook less. I came to see you this time because of the translation matter last time. My dad thinks you are right and agreed to let you go with him. It's still according to what you said. They will prepare translators, and you can tell us about the workshop situation when they need you to. Oh, by the way, we estimate that we will leave in two days."

Shen Meng couldn't help but frown when she heard this. This time, it just happened to coincide with the non-staple food factory, so she had to think of a way. "Okay, I got it. I'll get ready here and wait for you to leave together the day after tomorrow. I'll ask Director Fu for leave later."

"Okay." After Hu Biao finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously. His desire to share was about to overflow, but Shen Meng didn't ask.

"Hey, Sister Meng, let me tell you something. Don't tell anyone else!"

Shen Meng: “.”

This opening remark was more or less in the hope that she could tell others, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of saying it.

"Speaking of this, I have to apologize to you. I just found out about it today. I don't know when my mother found someone from our recruitment office and stuffed your sister-in-law, Zhou Jiaojiao, into the factory. Although she is Jiaojiao's savior, we have given her a lot of things. We also gave her a worker's notice, but she lost it and went back to the factory. In fact, if she had talked to Qianqian nicely, we could have given her a replacement one. But she found my mother, which hurt Qianqian's heart, not to mention that she delayed her work time. No one would agree to this. The factory has its own rules."

"is it?"

"Yes, and she went to Qianqian today to ask for the cloth in the factory. Qianqian and I just found out that you were no longer in charge of the workshop a few days ago. Qianqian had her kicked out directly, and we couldn't stop her. But don't worry, she didn't use violence because of our past friendship. I guess she has taken people to your commune now."

"That's it!"

Hu Biao looked at Shen Meng's expression and knew that this incident must have made her sad. He suddenly felt extremely guilty. His wife and children were now fat, and it was all thanks to Shen Meng. For such a long time, she had never asked them for anything, but it was Shen Meng who had to worry about their entire family.

"Sister Meng, if you have any requests, just ask. We, the Hu family, are sorry for you. I have already told the factory not to bother with anything my mother says in the future. Oh, don't Xiaobin and Shihao work in the factory? They perform very well, but I don't think they are suitable to be frontline workers. I am thinking of transferring them to other positions so that they can have an easier time."

Shen Meng's eyes sparkled when she heard his words. In the textile factory, each person had his own job and it was impossible to transfer people at will. He just said this to make her feel better.

But now that things have come to this, she has to express her opinion.

"No, it's not possible. It's already a great honor for them to work in a textile factory. How can they be transferred to other positions? Isn't this embarrassing for you? I definitely don't have any requests, but I do have one request, which is that I'm afraid you will find it inconvenient."

"Sister Meng, just tell me. I will definitely help you with anything I can do."

Shen Meng said rather embarrassedly: "You and Qianqian are both educated people, and my younger brother has not received much education. If possible, could you please help teach him some cultural knowledge? Oh, and if possible, I would also like them to learn how to drive. This request is a bit too much. If it is inconvenient, then..."

"No, no, Sister Meng, don't worry. I will definitely help with this. Xiaobin's master always praises his knowledge, so I will teach him like my own brother. As for driving, it's not difficult. Just ask the driver in the factory to teach him after get off work. Let Shihao come with him too. That kid is lively, so it's just right for both of us to teach him together."

"That's a good feeling."

Shen Meng was very happy. No wonder Jiaojiao’s career progressed so smoothly in the original novel last week. It turned out that all the people she met were treasure tools!
