"It is said that the discharge of sewage exceeds the standard, and it must be closed for rectification. Brother Qing's tone on the other end of the phone was very apologetic, "I didn't calculate this trick - the environmental protection bureau in the city here doesn't have a sense of zài at all, Sister Zhang is a foreigner, I really didn't expect it to be so big." ”

For this reason, the small factory of the Qingge family really cannot be said to be completely wronged - clothing companies, as long as they are involved with washing, are generally large water users, and water pollution is indeed not a joke, especially the factories that make jeans, this problem is even more serious. The local government also turned a blind eye: this is basically one of the pillar industries of N City, and I don't know how many millionaires have been raised and how many jobs have been solved. In such a situation, how can the local environmental protection bureau have a high sense of storage?

In the case of fierce competition in the garment factories in N City, most manufacturers will not invest too much in sewage, Qingge's factory used to only do cutting and ironing, I didn't think about this, this batch of shirt fabrics need to be washed, they are also newly rented machine qì, I didn't expect it to be planted here. Although the water has been drained for half a month, and the pollution of washed cotton cloth is not high, but in the end, the machine is there, and it is really okay to say that you exceed the standard. The worst thing is that the people in the factory are not familiar with the business, and they don't know where to start.

"What about the goods?" Qiao Yun is most concerned about the goods, and she also knows that Brother Qing is doing his best: they are most afraid of being reported for making and selling counterfeits, and the clothes that should be taken off the shelves in the bamboo store have been taken off the shelves. "How long will the inventory last?"

"I stuffed some money for the guards before, and the finished products were all taken away, and now there are still thousands of semi-finished goods in the factory, and the workers didn't let them in at all. My dad will be going to the city tonight for a run - but before that he will have to stop work, and the two shipments scheduled for mid-August may not be out in time. ”

No matter how small the garment factory is, it is also a matter of several millions, and the environmental pollution is fined, and it is not hundreds of thousands of dollars that can be settled, and more importantly, the batch of goods that was originally scheduled to be shipped in half a month involves hundreds of thousands of cash flow and extremely cumbersome after-sales service, to put it mildly, there is even the goodwill of the bamboo family, so many things are pressed on his young head, but Brother Qing's tone is still not in a hurry at all, his apology is mainly because of the second share of the payment that was negotiated before," I preliminarily plan that the batch of semi-finished products will be put away first, and the city will not delay production, I will take the craft book to Zhejiang to run, to see if I can make some urgent orders, at least the goods before September will be made, just in this way, I said that the money given to you next week may have to be delayed for a while,"

The capital chain of running clothing is tight, especially now that Qingge has changed careers to become a large wholesaler, looking for manufacturers from other provinces, and the first cooperation is an urgent order, and the deposit is generally high. Although the shirt sold well, now Qiao Yun got only one million - but now she is not in a hurry to use the money, and in a few words, she comforted Brother Qing and let him run with confidence. Qiao Yun hung up the phone, turned to the computer, and thoughtfully tapped the mouse: half of the 3D layout on it was still spinning in circles, densely packed with dotted lines and numbers, and it was upset to see people at a glance, but it was okay when they were immersed in it, and when they came back after being distracted, they didn't remember where they had just fumbled.

3D plate making in 2007,Almost only the function of zài in the concept,Only a very small amount of software tries to put it into practice,Qiao Yun bought this software only in English,A one-year license is 2000 US dollars,If it weren't for being an Internet celebrity,She didn't even have the opportunity to learn。 Qiao Yun tried to refocus several times, but to no avail, she simply turned off the screen, picked up the sketchbook, lay down on the lazy sofa and crossed her feet, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

As long as she is engaged in industry, it is impossible that she has not encountered storms and waves, and the garment factory has been sealed, which is not enough to make her world fall apart, so it is okay to let Brother Qing deal with it, but the little brother he brought with him was bullied to the head, if he doesn't tear it, can he bear it?

Putting aside the power of this desolation, now the team is too small, there is no buffer, as soon as there is an emergency, Brother Qing takes care of one or the other, and the development of the online store will inevitably be affected, once or twice is fine, but ...... If you don't tear Sister Zhang apart, will Brother Qing keep fighting with her?

This big wholesaler is far away in the world, and she has almost no contact with Qiao Yun except for Q.Q calls, even if she is skillful, it is impossible to tear it apart from the air, right? There is a way to immediately divert the focus, that is, she comes forward to target Sister Zhang and attract Sister Zhang's firepower - anyway, there will be no fewer people who tear her, and there will be no less Sister Zhang......

This strategy exudes a faint rancid taste, Qiao Yun played with it for a while and then put it down, she closed her eyes and searched aimlessly for the most fragmentary clues: she and Brother Qing have always been most afraid of the handle of making and selling counterfeits, which can really be punished, speaking of which, Sister Zhang is the big market dealer who makes and sells counterfeits - but this time, it may also offend many large manufacturers...

With a slight buzzing sound, her phone rang, Qiao Yun swept the screen, frowned, thought about it, and picked it up.

"Looking for me?" her tone was not very good, and she was cold and straightforward. "Something to do with Qin Wei?"

"If I say yes, are you going to hang up in the next second?" The answer on the other side was with a smile, Qiao Yun didn't say a word, and was about to pull the hang-up button when she took the phone, but the other end of the phone called out in time, "Hey, don't really hang up, don't really hang up, I'm just joking with you-"

With a beep, Qiao Yun directly pressed the phone: she has never been used to this kind of stinky problem.

The phone rang two more times, but seeing that the person's name had not changed, she didn't pay attention to it - Fan Lifeng probably knew that it was wrong, and he didn't call again.

Five minutes later, Bai Qian called.

"Jiaojiao-" She was a little helpless, but she couldn't help laughing, and as soon as the sweet voice came through the airwaves, Qiao Yun understood.

"Fan Lifeng is interceding with you again?" she hated a little bit that iron could not become steel, "Why do you listen to him every time?" Qianqian, what benefits did Fan Lifeng give you? You are too good to him, right?" ”

"Jiaojiao~" Bai Qian's Jiangnan girl, with some Wu Nong's soft accent, and some swallowing sounds, sprinkled coquettishly, the steel became soft around her fingers, she didn't care about Qiao Yun's complaints at all, half laughing and half sighing, "It's all adults, don't make children lose their temper every time-"

This is not the first time she has called Qiao Yun to pass the word - Qin Wei has quarreled with her so much, there are always times when the philosopher Lao Fan needs to intervene, as soon as Qiao Yun's temper rises, Qin Wei doesn't give face, and will answer his call? At that time, it was like this, Fan Lifeng looked for Bai Qian, Bai Qian looked for her, funny and helpless, and the complaint was also full of indulgence, and the happiness of stupidity in the ivory tower, "Fan Lifeng really has something to do with you, he will call again later, this time you have to pick it up, you have to pick it up, you have to pick it up, you have to pick it up-"

Qiao Yun usually forbids herself to look back on the past, just like she doesn't allow herself to think about Qin Wei, Bai Qian's voice is like a □□, every time she picks into the old wound, she has a sweet soreness, she laughs and talks softly, "Okay, okay, I'll pick me up, you go to work quickly, don't waste time for boring people." ”

"Fan Lifeng, remember to tell me what you are looking for. Only then did Bai Qian relax a little - she ignited her interest in gossip again, and hung up the phone after some advice.

Fan Lifeng's time was not bad, Bai Qian just hung up the phone and called him, this time he learned to be obedient, he didn't even have an opening statement, and he didn't dare to give Qiao Yun a chance to hang up the phone.

"It's Aunt Lin who wants to find you for something. "Don't talk clichés, he doesn't even dare to sell Guanzi, if he hadn't been hung up once, he wouldn't have been so honest. "She knows that you have broken up, but she still wants to talk to you - this matter is related to Qin Wei's future. ”

"Qin Wei, he may not go to Yale in September......"

#

When Qiao Yun walked into the café, Ms. Lin had already arrived, and the seat she chose was also by the window, and the seat she chose last time was next door, which made Qiao Yun feel a sense of absurdity: Is this café the only one in the whole city B still open?

Two glances came, and Ms. Lin had also noticed her appearance - she bowed her head slightly at Qiao Yun, and shrank her hand back, as if to welcome her, her posture was noble and perfect, and in a blink of an eye, Qiao Yun almost reminded of Qin Wei: Although Qin Wei doesn't look like her, in fact, many things on him are evidence of the relationship between mother and son. His demeanor towards outsiders is almost the same as that of his mother.

"Ms. Lin. She walked over.

"Miss Joe. Ms. Lin owed herself and said politely.

They ordered, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was frozen until the waiter brought the teacup and retreated: in all fairness, this place is indeed very suitable for conversation, and the space is also large, unless you meet a strange person like Fu Zhan who can read lips, it can be guaranteed**.

Qiao Yun took a sip of tea and insisted on being silent, she was at ease, and she didn't allow herself to be too arrogant - she knew Ms. Lin too well, she could always have the upper hand in various forms of social confrontation without much effort, although she had something to ask for today, but she was too arrogant and arrogant, but it was easy to lose the initiative, even if she spoke softly, it was just Ms. Lin's cultivation and condescension.

Of course, she admits that she can't be pretentious with elegance, and her goal is to not fall behind in this meeting. This woman has been in and out of the business and academic circles for many years, and her kung fu practice is almost impeccable. Qiao Yun gave her a nickname in her previous life: Malfoy. When she and Bai Qian talked about Ms. Lin, they both called her Narcissa directly.

Narcissa didn't speak for a while, her eyes were like X-rays, sweeping Qiao Yun every minute, seeing through the flesh and blood, scraping a light itch from the bones, she suppressed the urge to squirm uncomfortably, and half-tilted her head as if she was smiling, so she could see.

"Little Joe. Surprisingly, when Ms. Lin spoke, her tone was soft enough - not the kind of softness that asks for others, Qiao Yun could hear it, she even had a soft core of words, as if she really regarded her as a close junior, and appreciated and loved her from the bottom of her heart. "It's a bit presumptuous to meet this time, but it's always been in my plan, and I have always wanted to meet you since you broke up with Qin Wei. - You are a good boy, although the fate with Qin Wei is over, but I still hope to care about you as a relative. ”

She wasn't lying, Qiao Yun could hear it—of course, Ms. Lin didn't bother to lie most of the time, and this was even more surprising: she, Ms. Lin, cared for each other like relatives?

The relationship between her and Ms. Lin is almost a disaster, and for Qiao Yun, every time the two meet, it is a waterboarding of self-esteem. Ms. Lin looked down on her, she knew this, but the reason for their disagreement did not stop there: Qin Wei's appearance was the same as his father, but he was actually more like his mother, or rather, he was deeply influenced by his mother - what his real character was, Qiao Yun couldn't be clearer, the cold male god image to the outside world, now that I think about it, it can almost be regarded as the male version of Ms. Lin. Ms. Lin is not reluctant, but has always used expectations and demonstrations, words and deeds, to make it into that perfect appearance.

A man can only be deeply affected by a woman, his love is limited, whoever he pours into is the first priority, Ms. Lin has no love complex, she is not the kind of perverted mother who has a strong desire to control, but this does not mean that she and Qiao Yun are not enemies, around Qin Wei, their war is protracted, Qiao Yun has always been at an absolute disadvantage, she once thought that Parsons would be her battle of Chibi, she did it, she was finally so good that Ms. Lin could not deny it-

In the end, the result was self-evident, when seeing off at the airport, the smile on Ms. Lin's lips became a prophecy, she didn't have to do anything, just let the reality slowly take effect, and in the end, Qin Wei became like that from the inside out.

This is her failure, the appeasement of the Qin family after returning to China is more like a humiliation of the loser, how could Ms. Lin not know that as long as she still has a breath, she will not accept alms from her?

The two former enemies now have no reason to go to war, but it doesn't mean that Ms. Lin will suddenly regard her as the successor of socialism, Qiao Yun observed her for a few seconds, and roughly guessed several reasons for the sudden change in her attitude, but she remained silent, "Aunt Lin, in fact, we are not familiar with each other, just because we care about the same person sitting here, what happened to Qin Wei, I need you to come to me? ”

In the past, of course, she was very polite and obedient in front of Ms. Lin, giving Qin Wei enough face and playing the role of a good girlfriend - Qiao Yun is very smart, and none of the countless fights she has had with Qin Wei is because she is not polite enough to his parents. But at that time, Ms. Lin was not particularly polite to her, but now, her politeness and distancing are strong, but Ms. Lin's eyes are becoming more and more new, and there is no lack of surprise.

"Qin Wei doesn't want to go to Yale anymore," she paused, and actually simply complied with Qiao Yun's request and skipped the greetings, "He wants to apply for a postponement of admission and stay in China to make movies for a year." ”

Even if she heard Fan Lifeng mention it before, Qiao Yun was still very surprised, Ms. Lin was still incredulous when she talked about it, and the slightest humiliation of the secret pressure also made her smile in her heart while being surprised: The scholarly generation of the Qin family - it is the real scholarly generation, and now there are still a large number of books from the Ming Dynasty to the present in the ancestral house in Jiangnan, and the showbiz undoubtedly belongs to another world for Ms. Lin. Qin Wei's son has always been Ms. Lin's pride, except for talking about friends, there is nothing she needs to worry about, this sudden event, for her perfect little world, the destructive power is probably no less than that of the Titanic.

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" she really asked—this was also an important reason why she was invited, "Qin Wei has never shown interest in acting before, and he has never been exposed to acting. ”

"When I was in elementary school, I acted in children's melodramas. Ms. Lin's brows furrowed, resonating with Qiao Yun's confusion, "But that was a long time ago...... Originally, he took the first play, and his father and I didn't approve of it, according to the plan, he should have been-"

She paused, and Qiao Yun naturally made up for her, "Internship at the Poly Foundation." This was Qin Wei's itinerary in his previous life, and he went to Wall Street as soon as the graduation ceremony was over, and did not fly back to pick her up until the end of August.

“…… Yes, he should have been in New York right now. Ms. Lin was stunned for a moment before answering, and she looked at Qiao Yun's eyes getting more and more ...... Rich, "His decision made me and his father very passive, and there was also a misunderstanding in communication. But, considering his mood during that time, he let him go, but I didn't expect him to go further and further on this road - Xiao Qiao, you should know that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat with a black miasma, between these two roads...... I even think that comparing these two choices is an insult to Yale's many years of history. ”

She was right, but Qiao Yun was not used to agreeing with Ms. Lin, she remained silent, and Ms. Lin didn't care, she pressed her hand on the table and looked at Qiao Yun earnestly, "Little Qiao, we all know who Wei Wei is doing this for-- here, Auntie must apologize to you first, I know that in the past few years, I didn't approve of you being together, but that doesn't mean that we will really oppose your union." ”

Qiao Yun felt that the expression on her face could only be described by the buzzword "black question mark" a few years later, and she said, "Huh?"

"You are a very self-respecting child, I know," Ms. Lin said, her tone incredibly soft, "but there are some things that really don't have to be handled so extremely, maybe take a step back, and everyone will be better off - this is my heartfelt words, and it can be regarded as a little advice from my elders." Of course, it was a very hasty decision, but you don't need to be so decisive in rejecting Qin Wei's marriage proposal and breaking up with him-"

"Huh?" Qiao Yun repeated, her voice getting louder. "Propose?"

Ms. Lin's words paused, she observed Qiao Yun suspiciously, and said slowly, "Yes, marriage proposal - he even stole the account page, and Tiffany's name was on the credit card bill." You don't have to hide it from me for him, I already know all these things. ”

But she didn't know!

It's true, it's true, Ms. Lin has no reason to lie to her, she can see that it's true!

Her heart jumped, and suddenly Qiao Yun's mouth was dry, splitting into several different selves, she was crazy to know a qiē detail, and on the other hand, she hated such a self. Why did he have a ring? Why didn't he say it? Why didn't he have it in his previous life, why didn't he have it in his previous life? Why didn't he have it in his previous life!

If in a previous life he - if she in this life -

The expression on her face must have revealed some mystery - when Qiao Yun noticed it, Ms. Lin no longer spoke, but observed her carefully, the hesitation on her face gradually subsided, and the determination gradually came up, as if she had regained her grasp of the situation.

"Anyway," she coughed lightly, pulling back the topic, "I don't need to mention these things in the past." Although you have broken up, in fact, the hearts are not separated, Qin Wei is arrogant, he doesn't say it, but he suddenly decided to stay in the country, I'm afraid that eight out of ten is because of you - but things can't go on like this, I think, the best way is still like this: you and Wei Wei are still young, especially Wei Wei, there are still a few months to reach the legal age of marriage, you can get engaged first, and wait until you graduate with a master's degree to get a certificate. As for the cost of studying abroad, you don't have to worry about it—"

Qiao Yun was about to speak, but Ms. Lin didn't leave her a space, "Little Qiao, I know that you are a proud child, and I also appreciate your self-esteem. I can be honest with you, when I first heard that you were breaking up because of expenses, I ...... Not disappointed, even a little surprised. ”

Honesty was a rarity for her, but Ms. Lin did not hide the sense of superiority that still existed until now - she had treated the conversation with the utmost sincerity, not even the unspeakable tacit understanding between the two. She looked directly at Qiao Yun, like a general handing over a peace request, "But the situation will change, and people will grow, I don't deny it, I may be a little blind to you, but your choice makes me understand this...... In the past, I apologize to you, just ...... Let it pass, okay? We all love Qin Wei deeply—"

Qiao Yun interrupted her suddenly.

"We've broken up. She said, a nameless frenzied flame rushed up, and the anger value suddenly went from zero to the limit, she had heard enough of the self-feeling chatter and speculation, why can't Ms. Lin always say! "Aunt Lin, you see, there is a misunderstanding - you said that we both love Qin Wei deeply, but we have broken up, and it is not because of your guess - I don't - I don't love - " "I know we may have some misunderstandings," Ms. Lin cut off her words, as if she also had to cut off her chance to get angry, even if Qiao Yun was suddenly unstable like a ticking bomb, she did not lose her calm, but looked at her so deeply and gently, as if she could see everything, she said so firmly, "But Xiao Qiao, this is what I can see—this, not a misunderstanding." ”

The way she spoke seemed to see through her soul, as if the omission of that moment just now made her grasp the overall situation, and this made Qiao Yun unbearable, she raised her voice, "But we have already broken up!" Aunt Lin, please don't talk to yourself and imagine anything!"

Ms. Lin sighed, revealing a forgiving expression, highlighting her willfulness, Qiao Yun knew that she had fallen into the disadvantage, and this was really-

It was like being caught in a frenzied whirlwind, she couldn't listen or see it well, think about it well, Qiao Yun blinked her eyes quickly, and for a second she didn't know what she was talking about, "I-I've got a boyfriend again, let him know that there is going to be a misunderstanding!"

This sentence really turned the situation around, Ms. Lin leaned back, a genuine surprise flashed on her face, she wanted to say something, but in an instant, questions arose-

Qiao Yun continued to expand her advantage before she spoke, she picked up the phone, hesitated invisibly for a second before dialing out, a voice in her heart was telling her something in a daze, but at this moment she had no choice.

"Hey, David. As soon as the phone was connected, she said sweetly, "I'm just across the street from your office - would you like to come out for a cup of coffee?"
