Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 70 Should we open a factory?

"I said, I suspect you've had some shady dealings!" Feng Debao jumped up high. "Lin Qingping, tell me, did you give gifts? How much?"

One word caused a stir.

The ordering site erupted in chaos: "Anyone doing this? That's utterly shameless!"

Some factory managers even shouted out, "Yes! I really heard that some people used connections and gave gifts! I don't know which factory it was, but they're so shameless!"

"Find him!"

"Yes! Drag him out! Send him to the police station!"

Wu Tianjiao's gaze swept across Gao Dashan and Feng Debao's faces, smiling but revealing a strange murderous intent. "What a coincidence, I've also heard that someone is engaging in underhanded tactics and unfair competition, which, to put it bluntly, is bribery. I think that we business people all have it tough, and if someone does this, we should call the police and see who is so shameless!"

Gao Dashan's face turned deathly pale.

Wu Tianjiao smiled and turned to ask everyone, "What do you all think? Am I right? I support calling the police and letting them investigate thoroughly!"

Feng Debao's face turned purplish-red, and before he could say anything more, Gao Dashan held him back tightly.

What else is there to say? Don't get yourself involved in slandering others!

They genuinely didn't know whether Lin Qingping had given gifts or not, but they themselves certainly had!

"By the way, Comrade Lin, I'm very interested in your talent. Now that the contract is signed, I wonder if you'd be interested in having a chat with me about clothing?" Wu Tianjiao said to Lin Qingping with a smile.

Mei Li winked playfully at Lin Qingping.

Lin Qingping chuckled to herself and shook her head, agreeing.

Lin Qingping went with Du Gen and Gu Youlian. Factory Director Hu and Section Chief Fu voluntarily said they wouldn't go. Moreover, the order fair was now truly over. Factory Director Hu and Section Chief Fu were beaming with joy, carrying a large pile of orders, and were preparing to go back to arrange production.

That evening, Director Hu, Section Chief Fu, Gao Dashan, and others took the night bus back to the factory, while Lin Qingping planned to stay another night to spend time with Mei Li before leaving the next day.

"You spineless coward! You've been bullied to the point of being humiliated, and this is how you behave?" Wu Tianjiao pointed at Lin Qingping and said, "You've been bullied to the point of being humiliated, and this is how you behave?"

Wu Tianjiao is very decisive and ruthless, with a bit of a military bearing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed the order without even seeing a sample garment, just because Lin Qingping "persuaded" him.

Lin Qingping just smiled.

Wu Tianjiao hissed, "Did you know I was coming to place an order for you? Why are you so calm and collected?"

"No," Lin Qingping said seriously. "I just have confidence in myself. Because I have the confidence, I am not afraid of being blocked by thousands of people."

"Ha!" Wu Tianjiao looked at Mei Li. "You didn't tell me she was such an arrogant person. I thought she was a pushover! That she would just cry when someone bullied her?"

Mei Li had seen Lin Qingping's design sketches for this series with her own eyes. "No way! She's just talented. Clothes can be switched, but talent can't be stolen!"

"That's true..." Wu Tianjiao originally admired Lin Qingping's talent, but now he also liked her for another thing: confidence.

Wu Tianjiao nodded, "That guy in your factory, that clown, I'm not interested in knowing his name, but I know what he did. Hmm, dealing with him is a piece of cake..."

But Wu Tianjiao's focus is not on this.

"By the way, don't you get annoyed by having someone like this in your factory? I heard you're just a temporary worker, don't you have any other thoughts?" Wu Tianjiao asked.

Lin Qingping has it.

She was a big shot in the catering industry in her past life, so how could she be content to be a temporary worker in a factory in this life? She's just waiting for the right opportunity.

Moreover, she originally only wanted to make a quick buck by redesigning clothing and didn't really intend to do it for the long term, but now that Wu Tianjiao asked her about it, she became interested.

"Manager Wu, what are your thoughts?"

Wu Tianjiao waved his hand, "Why call me manager? Just call me Tianjiao."

Lin Qingping smiled, "Alright, Tianjiao, what are your thoughts?"

Wu Tianjiao pointed at Mei Li, "It was she who had the idea, and let me tell you, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, just now. It was an idea that suddenly came to her, and it's not very reliable."

Mei pouted, "Whose sister are you anyway? Why do you keep bringing up my shortcomings?"

“I’m Wu Tianping’s older sister! I watched you two monkeys grow up! Don’t I know what kind of person you are?” Wu Tianjiao pointed at her nose.

After saying that, he turned to Lin Qingping and said, "She wants to open a clothing factory and partner with you, but she's lazy, spoiled, and unreliable. She changes her mind every day. You should think about whether you can work with her!"

For Lin Qingping, running a private enterprise and being her own boss was nothing new, but in this era, it was incredibly novel.

Not to mention Gu Youlian and Du Gen, even the two from Shanghai were shocked. "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Mei Li was very unconvinced by Wu Tianjiao's assessment of her. "You all always say I'm playful and unreliable, but now that I've finally settled down to do something, you're laughing at me again!"

"I won't laugh at you, you can talk to Qingping yourself." Wu Tianjiao poked her forehead.

Lin Qingping and Mei Li had no disagreement about opening a factory; they were in complete agreement.

However, setting up a factory is not like setting up a street stall; there are many steps and procedures involved.

Meili patted her chest and assured them, "Leave it to me! You just focus on the design!"

Lin Qingping wasn't in a hurry. She wanted to continue working with Ruixiang for a while longer. Ruixiang was where she started her business, and she was still very grateful to Director Hu and Section Chief Fu for their trust in her, a rural woman.

That's right, she was a rural woman. Gao Dashan and Feng Debao were right. So, no matter what, Ruixiang was still kind to her for being able to make things happen for a rural woman.

When she said that, Wu was too sentimental.

Lin Qingping just smiled. Perhaps so. In her past life, she had too little affection to hold onto, and too few people who were good to her. So, she cherished every one or two who were good to her. In this life, it was even more so. She cherished those who were good to her and drew a clear line between herself and those who were not.

After a long talk with Wu Tianjiao and Mei Li, the matter of opening a factory was settled. The next day, she took Du Gen and Gu Youlian back to the factory.

Gu Youlian is still very excited. Not only did she sign big orders with shopping malls in the capital and Shanghai, but she is also going to open her own factory!

Lin Qingping also knew that the couple were now particularly interested in doing business.

However, running a business is different from running a small business; running a business requires cultural knowledge.

She asked the two of them, "Since you are both so eager to work with me, we are now facing a problem: neither of us is well-educated. If we want to accomplish great things, cultural knowledge is essential. You should think about whether you want to go to university and seriously study for a few years."
