It was almost noon for them to reach their destination, a remote rural market town.

The factory in this town is a wicker weaving and processing factory, which is said to be a factory, but in fact it only distributes orders to farmers in various villages and processes them according to drawings and requirements.

"The director of the township enterprise that this factory has just set up is appointed by the town, and there is no personal share, and the opinions of the leading groups in the county and town are not consistent in this factory, and not many people care about the quality of this factory, just as a move in response to the government's policy."

Chen Xiaoyu and Lu Chongqing were in a simple living room on the second floor, waiting for someone to go to the factory director's house to call someone.

On Sunday, the factory was empty, except for the old man on duty in the communication room, and a few farmers who were repairing the gate.

Lu Chongqing shook his head and asked her, "What is the delivery date of your goods?" ”

"At the end of this month."

"It's the 20th now." Lu Zhong said, looking at the empty factory downstairs, "It seems that they don't understand the reason for delaying the delivery date and paying compensation." ”

"Yes, if the delivery date is delayed, they not only can't get the money, but also according to the total amount of the contract 20% of the compensation, in addition to the loss of our company, they are even more loss, should be I will not bear the delivery of the contract when I signed the contract, with him clearly, but, you see such a plant, equipment, where there is the ability to compensate, and this wicker weaving handicrafts, mainly rely on the craftsmanship of the weaver, time-consuming and laborious, here are farmers weaving, farmers have low income, really to the last step, I can't bear it either. ”

Lu Chongqing glanced at her and smiled softly, "Say that you are soft-hearted, and you still don't admit it." ”

Chen Xiaoyu lowered her head, "Then it also depends on who the other party is." ”

"Then why do you want to find this factory if you know about their situation?"

"The cost is low, the craftsmanship is good. Those large factories of foreign trade companies, although the delivery time is very accurate and will not delay things, but they are all old fritters, the quotation is very high, and our profits are thin. Now the company has just started, all aspects are very nervous, there are more funds in advance, and the pressure is great. ”

Lu Chongqing nodded lightly, and was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

The person who came was the director of the factory, a middle-aged man with a strict appearance, a bright head, a big belly, Chen Xiaoyu had dealt with him before, and he always looked like "You are a child, you don't understand". "Rao is Xiaoyu is Party A, he doesn't have the slightest intention of stammering.

He came in and saw that it was Chen Xiaoyu, and then glanced at Lu Chongqing beside Xiaoyu, nodded, it was a greeting, he sat on the dilapidated artificial leather sand, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, and gave way to Lu Chongqing, seeing that the other party waved his hand, he directly stuffed it into his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, took a deep breath, and then said, "Miss Chen, is it still for the sake of that batch of goods this time?" Didn't I already tell you on the phone, you can rest assured that this batch of goods will not delay your delivery. Why are you so distrustful? ”

Chen Xiaoyu smiled politely: "Director Yu, I don't believe you, this time let's see how that batch of goods is now?" There are only ten days before the delivery deadline at the end of the month, according to reason, I should be able to see the finished products you received in the factory, because labeling, inspection, packing, it still takes time, but now, I don't even see a finished product here, you say, what can I rest assured? What guarantees do you take. ”

The expression on Director Yu's face was slightly embarrassed, he coughed, and continued to spit out the smoke ring nonchalantly, "There have been a lot of things in the village in the past few days, so I haven't picked it up yet." I'll go down tomorrow to collect it. I said that even a delay of a few days is not a big deal. ”

"Then please take us to see the goods. I'd like to see how the actual progress goes. ”

"You don't have to look at this goods, I'll just hand it over to you then." Director Yu sat there, shaking Erlang's legs, and said nonchalantly.

"Director Yu, if you don't take us to see the goods, how do we know if there is a problem with this batch of goods? If you can't deliver the goods on time and according to the other party's requirements, can you take this responsibility? ”

Director Yu sneered, "Miss Chen, you are still young, you are so anxious and fierce, how will you find your in-laws in the future?" Right? He laughed dryly and shook his head.

Chen Xiaoyu's face turned red, she closed her eyes speechlessly, the corners of her mouth twitched, she bit her lip, and choked back the swearing.

Lu Chongqing has been silent since Director Yu entered the house, and now he saw Xiaoyu's face, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, he took out a pack of China from his pocket, took out one, threw it at Director Yu, and threw the pack of cigarettes in the middle of the coffee table.

Then he smiled kindly: "Director Yu is a local, right?" ”

He was already handsome, and when he sat there, he was silent, and he was already eye-catching, but when he opened his mouth again, he had a feeling of being high and prostrate.

Director Yu took the cigarette in his hand and looked at it, put it under his nose and sniffed, and did not speak, although he was a factory director, but not a businessman, he was originally a small clerk in the town's industrial office, because his mouth was unforgiving, offended people, he was transferred to be the factory director, and he was not happy, so he was not enthusiastic about his work.

At this time, listening to Lu Chongqing's words, and seeing his extraordinary demeanor, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and looked at him a few times again.

"Secretary Niu told me that your place has beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. In particular, the wicker hand-weaving technique in your county has always been well-known throughout the province. ”

"Secretary Niu? Which cow secretary is it? Director Yu stammered and asked.

"Cow set up a secretary." Lu Chongqing looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know?" ”

Director Yu was even more nervous, stood up directly from his seat, and said tremblingly: "Do you know our Secretary Niu?" Who are you? As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xiaoyu again, wanting to see something on her face, but Chen Xiaoyu turned his head and ignored him at all.

"I, I'm Miss Chen's subordinate, she's my leader. This time, I came with our leaders to see the goods. Secretary Niu is my friend, he was very happy to hear that we were coming, and said that we would go to the county to report to him after seeing the progress. He attaches great importance to the development of township enterprises and has repeatedly asked us to support you. Saying that, he gave Director Yu a look, pulled him aside, got closer, lowered his voice, and said with some embarrassment: "Look, I promised Secretary Niu to help you, especially to build a special build for Miss Chen to use the goods of your factory, how can I report to the secretary now?" Moreover, this Miss Chen will definitely sue me with the boss when she goes back, and I don't dare to agree to Secretary Niu's affairs in the future. ”

When Director Yu heard that the sweat on his forehead came down, he hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you said it earlier, I haven't seen you, and I don't know this relationship, I'm sorry, offended, offended, you have a lot, don't tell Secretary Niu, I'll take you to see the goods." ”

Lu Chongqing smiled slightly, meaning inexplicable.
