At night, the waiter dormitory of Baiyun Hotel.

Zhong Xiaoqing came out of the bathroom to wash up, and when she entered the bedroom, she saw Li Cuihua sitting on the edge of the bed, putting her face and towel away, and asked casually, "Ah Hua, what are you doing?"

"Ah, didn't you do it. ”

Li Cuihua turned her head in shock, glanced at the visitor, and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoqing who breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm here." ”

"Still watching "Sweet Honey"?"

Zhong Xiaoqing walked in and saw Xiaohua holding the book "Sweet Honey" in his hand that he didn't know how many times he had read, so he couldn't help but pouted and said, "What's so good about this book, it's better to read more quotations." ”

"You don't understand, this book is so well written. Li Cuihua wanted to tell Zhong Xiaoqing how good this book was, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Alright, well, you can see for yourself. ”

Zhong Xiaoqing waved her hand, obviously tired of hearing Li Cuihua boast about how good the book was, she walked to her bedside, took off the coat hanging on the hanger, and took out a few crumpled Hong Kong dollars from her inner pocket.

"Wow, that's so much money, and a five-hundred! Oh my God, you're going to send it this time. Li Cuihua's eyes widened when she saw a 500 Hong Kong banknote, she had been working in Baiyun Hotel for more than a year, and she rarely saw a 500 yuan Hong Kong banknote.

They will definitely not be able to use this money when they spend it, but they can hand it over to the hotel in exchange for some additional subsidy wages, 500 yuan can be exchanged for 30 yuan!

Zhong Xiaoqing smiled proudly: "Hehe, the foreign guest I helped deliver the luggage today is so generous." ”

"Really, where did it come from?" Li Cuihua blinked, obviously very greedy for this 500 yuan.

Zhong Xiaoqing thought for a while and said: "I heard that his communication with others seems to be from Hong Kong Island, and this gentleman looks less than thirty, and the most important thing is that he is very handsome, much more handsome than Wang Xingang in "Women's Army"!"

Li Cuihua was surprised and said: "This is the first time I have heard of a foreign guest under the age of 30. ”

Baiyun Hotel, as the only hotel in Huadu that is able to receive foreign guests, the vision of people working here is much stronger than that of ordinary people, even some inland officials at this time, I am afraid it is difficult to compare with these waiters who often deal with foreign guests.

"That's right!" Suddenly, Zhong Xiaoqing thought of something and said to Li Cuihua: "Give me your book." ”

"Ahh Li Cuihua protected the book in her arms, which she had finally gotten over, and she was usually very precious, hiding it from the team leader.

"Hurry up, I don't want your book again, be careful I tell the team leader that you read these vulgar texts. ”

"Alright, here you go. ”

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoqing was threatening herself, Li Cuihua just pouted and handed over the book.

Zhong Xiaoqing quickly flipped through the book, until she turned to the last page, and when she saw the photo of Huo Yaowen, she was pleasantly surprised: "It's him, and the foreign guest I received is him!"

"The one you received before is Fusheng!" Li Cuihua couldn't help but exclaim.

"Be quiet!" Zhong Xiaoqing hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Yes, it's him, I said how familiar it looked before, it turned out to be the author of your book." ”

"Knock Knock"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and the team leader pushed the door in, frowned, and said, "What are you arguing about in the middle of the night? ”

"No, just sleep. Zhong Xiaoqing hurriedly hid the book in the futon.

"Alright, let's go to sleep. The team leader glanced at the two of them, then turned around and went back to his room next door to get ready to rest.

And Zhong Xiaoqing and Li Cuihua didn't dare to say much, returned the books, packed up the things in the house, turned off the lights and went to bed.

……

Early the next morning, Huo Yaowen yawned, got up and looked around to see no one, only to remember that he was not in Hong Kong anymore, rubbed his eyes, picked up the watch on the table and took a look, the time was 7:15 in the morning.

It was a bit early, but Huo Yaowen didn't want to sleep, so he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into a new suit, and then opened the door and wanted to take a walk in the garden outside.

But as soon as he went out, he saw Huo Guantai next door also open the door and walked out.

The two chatted for a few words, and then went to the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel to eat together.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I found that there were already several people from the merchant group eating here, and it seemed that the big guy had rested early last night.

After a short time, President Liang walked in with the previous Director Ma, and after talking about today's itinerary, they dined with everyone.

Today's breakfast is very rich and varied, in addition to the common Cantonese delicacies such as hibiscus buns, rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, and egg dumplings, there are also soy milk, milk, and juice for drinking.

"How does it taste?" President Liang smiled at this time and walked over to Huo Yaowen and sat down.

"It's very good, the taste is very good, I like to eat this shrimp dumpling. Huo Yaowen smiled and picked up the shrimp dumplings with chopsticks, and wrapped them into his mouth, one of his favorite delicacies is shrimp dumplings, the shrimp dumplings in Baiyun Hotel taste very positive, and the shrimp meat inside can eat umami.

"Haha, it's good to like it, it's good to like it. ”

President Liang laughed, he and Huo Yaowen are old acquaintances, although there is a lot of difference in seniority, but the relationship has always been good, and there is no barrier.

Huo Yaowen chewed a few bites, swallowed the shrimp dumplings, and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with President Liang looking for me?"

"It's not a problem, it's just that you said before that you wanted to go back to Xiangshan to have a look, but I think it's probably not okay now. ”

"How?"

Huo Yaowen frowned.

President Liang said: "The Director Ma you met yesterday would like to invite you to visit a local canning factory, and I have calculated that I will go to the textile factory this morning and the canning factory in the afternoon, and the time may not be enough, so I can only arrange for you to go to Zhongshan after returning from the north." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's morning or late, as long as you can go back. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled, he thought that if he didn't return to Zhongshan, he wouldn't delay until he came back from the north.

However, when I think of the family letters written by my grandma and my father, as well as my grandfather, uncle, and uncle, it is best to send them today, and I am afraid it will take more than a month when I come back.

When President Liang heard this, he agreed with a smile: "This is all a small matter, just leave the matter of sending the letter to me, and you will hand over the letter to me later, and I will arrange for someone to send it to Zhongshan in person, and ensure that it will be handed over to the recipient." ”

"There may be a lot of letters, and I need to trouble you a lot, President Liang. ”

Huo Yaowen thought about it, nodded and agreed, and when he finished eating, he went upstairs and handed the letter to President Liang from the room, and also wrote the address by the way.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Huo Yaowen and his entourage came to the outside of the Guangzhou Silk and Linen Textile Factory, and on the walls on both sides of the iron fence at the gate, there were words such as "Warmly welcome Hong Kong Island compatriots to visit", which seemed to be prepared in advance, but in simplified Chinese, in addition to Huo Yaowen's understanding, President Liang also knew.

"Hello Comrade Huo, welcome to your compatriots on Hong Kong Island to visit our silk and linen textile factory!" Li Factory, director of the textile factory, led the leadership team and warmly stood at the door to welcome them.

"Director Li, you are too polite, how can you let you go out to greet you in person!"

Saying that, Huo Guantai introduced the people of the business delegation to Director Li and others with a smile on his face, "Director Li, let me introduce you to you, this is the boss of Hong Kong Hopewell Industries......

Most of these people who came here are businessmen engaged in real estate, electrical appliances and other industries, and two of them are engaged in the textile industry, namely Chen Maoxiang and Li Guotai, one of them is the owner of Hong Kong's Kowloon Maoxiang Yarn Factory, and the other is the owner of Kowloon Guotai Textile Factory.

The business is not very big, and it is not very well-known among the wealthy people on Hong Kong Island, but because the industry is helpful to the development of the mainland, President Leung specially invited the two to come in order to help the textile mills in the mainland expand their foreign trade business.

So when Huo Guantai introduced the two people, Director Li's eyes were straight, and he couldn't wait to pull the two people to sit directly in the office, and began to discuss whether they could cooperate.

It was only when he saw Director Ma's unhappy expression that Director Li reluctantly let go of his hand, and then warmly greeted Hong Kong businessmen to visit the factory.

This silk and linen textile factory is the largest textile factory in Guangzhou, not only processing cotton textiles, wool textiles, silk, but also printing and dyeing and making clothing processing plants, which can be regarded as a complete package from raw materials to appearance.

The employees in the factory, including workers, kitchens and helpers, are almost more than 5,000 people, accounting for more than 60% of the surrounding labor force.

The ratio of male to female workers is 3:7, and the work of male workers is mainly more physically demanding work such as moving goods, degumming and drying, printing and dyeing, while female workers are mainly engaged in processing, sewing and production.

Listening to Director Li's introduction, Chen Maoxiang couldn't help but be stunned: "There are 5,000 people in the textile factory?

His Maoxiang yarn factory has only more than 200 workers, and he looked down on this small textile factory before, but he didn't expect that the workers of other people are more than 20 times that of his own.

"Well, that's not a lot, there is another textile factory in Guangzhou, almost 10,000 people smaller. Director Li obviously didn't want to mention another textile factory, so he diverted the topic and continued to introduce his own textile factory.

Huo Yaowen felt a little bored following behind, but fortunately, at this time, Director Ma arranged more than a dozen staff members to lead the delegation to visit the textile factory separately.
