Chapter 44: Like a Dream

Yu Hong had already started filling out the information form.

Since they were already here, they might as well fill it out first.

Xia Keqing glanced at her and also started filling out the form.

When they got off the train, she noticed a small shop opened near the factory gate.

After handing the form to the old man guarding the gate, she went to the shop, bought two packs of cigarettes, and two bottles of soda.

Yu Hong was dumbfounded.

Is this little girl really just a college student?

Yu Hong’s clothing store is located in the market near the school, she has seen too many innocent and foolish college students, Xia Keqing is undoubtedly a very unique one.

Even she, an old hand who has been in society for decades, never thought of bribing the old man guarding the gate with cigarettes and soda, but she thought of it.

Yu Hong felt a little ashamed.

She should be the one teaching her this.

But since the little girl had already bought them, she couldn’t fight with her, so she silently went to buy two more packs.

It’s better to be polite than sorry.

The old man guarding the gate had already returned, his hands empty.

“Wait here for a while, if they see you there, they’ll call me.”

He pointed behind him, Xia Keqing and Yu Hong saw the small guard room behind him, with a telephone inside.

This era’s telephone was an antique in the future.

But this shows that the factory is indeed making money, even the guard room has a telephone.

Xia Keqing smiled and nodded, “Okay, thank you, old man, we’re aunt and niece, we’d like to offer you a cigarette, and this soda, it’s so hot today, it’s a hassle for you to run errands for us, we’re really sorry.”

Although the weather was getting cooler, it was a good day today, with a big sun, Xia Keqing and Yu Hong were red in the face from the sun when they came by tricycle.

They messed up, they didn’t know the sun was so strong, they didn’t do any sun protection.

But it’s okay, youth is capital, Xia Keqing will go back and get some face masks to make up for it.

She can’t ruin the original owner’s cold white skin.

Beauty is an invaluable asset at any time.

The old man guarding the gate was stunned, not knowing whether to take it or not, but his expression softened a lot.

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong saw that there was hope.

Yu Hong immediately used her eloquence from selling clothes for many years, she stuffed and coaxed the old man guarding the gate to take the cigarettes and soda.

The old man guarding the gate took the cigarettes and soda, and specially found two small stools for them.

He enthusiastically greeted them to sit down, his attitude was completely different from before.

“Sister, your volume is a bit small, what kind of clothing company is it? It’s hard to do business, isn’t it?”

Yu Hong’s expression was a little awkward.

Her small shop is at most a stall, in the provincial capital, there are indeed people who get goods from her, but the quantity is not large.

But if you decorate the shop a little better, take the same goods over, the price can be doubled.

How could she not be envious?

She doesn’t want to talk about it anymore.

She doesn’t have the capital! But if she has a large quantity of goods, if she comes to be the general distributor of this factory in the provincial capital, it’s not impossible.

Yu Hong has been in business for many years and has already made a small fortune.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the idea of giving up before.

Money can’t be earned enough, now business is hard to do, as long as she doesn’t lose money, she’ll continue to do it, if she loses money, she’ll just close up shop and go home.

This shows that Yu Hong’s personality is actually more conservative.

As a result, this little girl, Xia Keqing, opened her mouth and said she has a clothing company…

This is a big boast.

Yu Hong felt uneasy when she thought about it.

But since she’s already boasted, she can’t slap herself in the face.

She smiled, “Doing business is never easy, but our factory’s clothes are good, so we don’t have to worry about selling them.”

Being a gatekeeper at this clothing factory, they are all “insiders” with some connections, anyway, it’s never wrong to praise the factory.

The old man guarding the gate heard this, and his eyebrows curled up in a smile.

“Of course! Our factory’s clothes are famous all over the country, they sell like hotcakes.”

Yu Hong: “Yes.”

Xia Keqing interjected appropriately, “Does our factory have a dedicated designer?”

“I think the designs of our factory’s clothes are very strong!”

The old man guarding the gate had no idea about design.

But he could tell that the little girl’s words were praising the factory’s clothes, and he couldn’t stop smiling.

“Of course! I can guarantee that our factory’s clothes are the best quality and the best looking!”

Xia Keqing knew that she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of the old man guarding the gate about this.

She wasn’t in a hurry, she just praised, “That’s for sure.”

“If it wasn’t good, we wouldn’t have come here specifically.”

The old man guarding the gate asked them where they were from and how they knew about their factory.

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong looked at each other, Yu Hong smiled and made up a story, and coaxed the old man into a good mood.

After chatting for a few minutes, Xia Keqing concluded that the old man either really didn’t know anything, or he was an old fox.

But she did get something out of him, at least she knew that this old man was a real old man.

He was the factory director’s real uncle.

Otherwise, how could he be guarding the gate?

Also, the factory recently produced a new batch of goods, the factory director was very excited about this batch of goods, he was waiting for this batch of goods to sell well and make a lot of money.

Besides this new batch of goods, there was also a batch of defective goods that were returned, but it was said to be defective, but actually it didn’t affect much, the price of this batch of goods would be much cheaper.

If they could get this batch of goods, they could also make money.

But since it’s defective goods, they still need to see the goods before they can talk.

Yu Hong also understood Xia Keqing’s meaning, and immediately said that as long as it’s the factory’s goods, what kind of defects are there?

It shouldn’t be a big problem.

The old man guarding the gate felt very comfortable hearing this.

Although he was just the factory director’s uncle, his son also had a share in this factory.

The factory is doing well, his son can get more money, so he naturally hopes to get rid of the defective goods as soon as possible.

In fact, even the factory’s defective goods are not lacking in sales channels, it’s just a little more troublesome.

But for the factory, it doesn’t matter who they sell to, right?

So the old man guarding the gate revealed this to Xia Keqing and Yu Hong. It was all because of those packs of cigarettes and soda.

At least in the old man’s eyes, these two girls are polite.

Just then, the phone rang, the old man guarding the gate was stunned for a moment before answering, and he also mentioned Xia Keqing and Yu Hong’s desire for defective goods.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the old man guarding the gate hung up the phone with a normal expression, and said to Yu Hong and Xia Keqing, “Let’s go, go in.”

“Go this way, go in through the main entrance, see the stairs, go up, turn left on the second floor, the business department is there, someone will take you to see the goods when you get there.”

Yu Hong was so dazed that Xia Keqing pulled her in, it was like a dream.

“Xiao Qing, pinch me!”

Xia Keqing “pfft”, “Aunt! What’s wrong with you?”

Yu Hong seemed to have just come to her senses, “They actually let us in! Is this really not a dream?”

She didn’t know how many times she was turned away to get goods from this factory!

Her eyes on Xia Keqing were different, “Xiao Qing, you are really my lucky star!”

Xia Keqing couldn’t help but laugh.

“This factory’s clothes sell like hotcakes, it’s normal for them to be arrogant, but we’re here to buy goods sincerely, there are always more solutions than difficulties, let’s go, don’t waste time.”

Yu Hong suddenly realized, her expression excited, “Yes, yes, you’re right!”

She quickly tidied up her clothes and knocked on the door solemnly.
