Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Tell her not to associate with those people in the future_1

Neither of them went to work anymore.

They instructed the driver to head to the provincial capital’s compound; the two wanted to see Old Mr. Zheng.

Unexpectedly, as the car was passing by the First Department Store, they spotted Song Yunuan there selling headbands.

A little boy stood beside her, holding cotton candy in his hand.

Then they also saw a crowd of people gathered around them.

After all, she was a child they had raised since she was young, and even if they hadn’t seen her for over two months, instinctively, they could recognize her as Song Yunuan in the crowd at a glance.

Qin Zhong hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

He and Lu Zhenguo got out of the car.

They didn’t dare to approach and just watched from a distance.

They saw that there were several young men beside Song Yunuan.

With their shifty appearances, they didn’t look like good people, causing Qin Zhong’s eyebrows to furrow tightly.

Lu Zhenguo felt the same.

Afterward, the two of them silently nodded to each other in agreement.

Although they didn’t know how she came to know Old Mr. Hu, why was she hanging out with such shady-looking people?

Why couldn’t she properly appreciate the opportunity to know someone like Old Mr. Hu?

Old Mr. Hu couldn’t stand such idlers and riff-raff.

If he knew that Song Yunuan was associating with such people, Old Mr. Hu would definitely not pay her any attention.

After getting back in the car, Qin Zhong said that they shouldn’t tell Old Mr. Hu about Song Yunuan chatting and laughing with a few ruffians in front of the department store for now, lest the old gentleman get agitated.

And it would also reflect poorly on Little Nuan.

Lu Zhenguo’s eyes flickered, and he nodded, "Ah, she is a child we watched grow up, and she doesn’t cherish it. Even a deity couldn’t save her now."

Qin Zhong sighed.

He said, "I should get out of the car and tell Little Nuan to stay away from those people in the future."

Lu Zhenguo scoffed, "You think you’re her father? If she had any regard for you and your wife in her heart, why wouldn’t she go to the provincial capital’s compound to see you?"

At this moment, both Lu Zhenguo and Qin Zhong unilaterally dismissed the fact that it was they who wouldn’t let Song Yunuan return.

Qin Zhong was also in a bad mood.

When she was in the compound, how obedient the child was.

And now, in less than three months, why was she either knowing old men or hanging out with hooligans?

Of course, Qin Zhong didn’t voice this out loud.

After all, the driver was sitting in front.

No matter what, Song Yunuan was once his daughter. If he spoke too harshly, and it somehow got out, it wouldn’t be good for the Qin family’s reputation.

People might even blame the Qin family for not raising her well.

The car slowly moved forward, and Song Yunuan didn’t notice at all.

For Luo Zhiwu and Ba Te, it felt like a dream.

If it hadn’t been for Song Yunuan beside them, they probably wouldn’t even know how to collect the money.

In just over an hour, the five hundred headbands they had brought were almost all sold out.

Finding a secluded spot to count the money, they made a total of over two hundred and ten yuan.

Song Yunuan said, "For the headbands, regardless of size, I’ll give you a ten cent profit on each."

Song Yunuan handed fifty yuan to Liu Wen.

It’s not that these guys hadn’t seen money before.

But this was their first time earning it for themselves, and it was honestly earned.

Fifty yuan.

Luo Zhiwu was an apprentice in a shoe factory, making twenty-three yuan a month.

In just a little over an hour, Liu Wen had earned more than what Luo Zhiwu made as an apprentice in over two months.

So was it worth continuing this work or not?

Need you even ask?

With the provincial capital being so big, the demand was unimaginable.

If every girl in the provincial capital bought two headbands, how much money would he make?

When he really started to think about it, Liu Wen felt short of breath.

He looked at Song Yunuan.

It was like looking at a golden baby doll.

So he eagerly followed Song Yunuan to the guesthouse to pick up the remaining five hundred.

This time, Song Yunuan generously let him have them on credit first.

After all, they weren’t leaving the provincial city until the day after tomorrow.

They hadn’t even left the guesthouse when they had already sold more than sixty, purchased by the female workers from Linhai City who were there for a skills exam, as well as other male comrades who thought they looked nice and decided to buy some too.

Some were for their partners, some for their wives, or daughters.

Liu Wen and Luo Zhiwu, brimming with confidence, headed to the First Department Store again.

Xiao Kang, Old Mr. Hu’s student, had already designated a sales area for them there.

The wooden racks could also be left in the warehouse next to the department store.

This time, Song Yunuan didn’t go with them.

Liu Wen had a natural talent for doing business.

All she had to do was to wait for Liu Wen to bring her the money in the evening.

Even though wholesale meant earning ten cents less per item, the large quantity made up for it.

In the future, they planned to take both the wholesale and retail path.

Therefore, they would need a large amount of raw materials and workers.

Song Liang told his daughter that Deputy County Mayor Zhao said that after their return, he would submit his application report to Kou County.

He also told her not to worry because it was guaranteed to succeed.

Deputy County Mayor Zhao, while reporting on the school establishment progress to Kou County over the phone, was just downstairs in the phone booth, and nowadays making a phone call couldn’t be more convenient.

He meticulously noted the time of the call.

When the time came to settle the bill, it could only be more, never less; he mustn’t let the service workers lose money.

By that time, Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo had already returned to the provincial city compound.

The two didn’t go home but went straight to Old Master Zheng’s house.

Old Master Zheng’s house was located in District One of the provincial city compound.

All were two-story buildings.

He was currently watering the flowers in the garden in front of the house with a watering can.

Seeing the two approaching, he greeted them warmly.

Without beating around the bush, Qin Zhong directly said to Old Master Zheng, "Old Mr. Zheng, are you aware that Little Nuan arranged for a country girl to work at Zheng Dong’s electronics factory?"

Old Master Zheng was initially taken aback before nodding and saying, "Yes, I know about it."

Qin Zhong frowned and said, "Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? You don’t have to consider the fact that Little Nuan grew up in the compound here. The electronics factory is very important; it’s one of the country’s key projects, and it has received a lot of support. I hope we won’t be criticized because of Little Nuan."

Old Master Zheng nonchalantly replied, "What could they criticize us for? Little Nuan arranged for a poor girl, neglected by her parents, to clean the ladies’ dormitory as a temporary worker. She was assessed and hired based on her performance, and that girl is doing an excellent job. Both the administrator and the employees like her a lot."

Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo looked at each other, at a loss for words.

Old Master Zheng put down the watering can, straightened his back, and squinted as he sized up the two men.

Even though they didn’t interact much on a daily basis, the two showed ample respect towards him.

Old Mr. Zheng had a good impression of them.

Although these two families were getting rather close, that didn’t matter; humans are like that.

If you’re not good to me, I’ll be good to someone else.

Forming cliques is an instinct.

But why were they suddenly inquiring about the electronics factory today?

Qin Zhong said, "As long as Zheng Dong doesn’t violate any regulations because of it, that’s all I’m worried about."

Old Mr. Zheng curled his lip, "What are you worried about? Didn’t we agree to stop interacting in the future?"

Qin Zhong forced a wry smile.

It seemed to him that Old Mr. Zheng still had a very good impression of Little Nuan.

Recalling the lesson he had just learned, Qin Zhong didn’t dare to say too much.

But he still added, "As long as Little Nuan hasn’t caused trouble for Zheng Dong, that’s good."

Old Mr. Zheng didn’t understand why they had come.

But as a shrewd man, he scoffed inwardly, yet his face remained kindly.

"How could Little Nuan possibly cause trouble for Zheng Dong? Actually, I ought to thank Little Nuan. If it weren’t for her, I would already be bedridden, unable to take care of myself, and certainly not here watering flowers and talking to you..."
