Chapter 295: Chapter 296 Extremely Humble
Minister Bai did not name names, but simply gave a reminder before leading a group towards the train station.
Just as Minister Bai’s group entered the station, a special attendant led several people towards the train car.
The carriages behind were filled with representatives from various big factories participating in this diplomatic meeting, all friends from across the land and seas.
Minister Bai and his group had just walked past when a minister from the neighboring province looked at Minister Bai with a mocking face, "Minister Bai, we meet again.
What good items has your factory prepared this time? I’m not trying to criticize you, Minister Bai, but your subordinates are really quite dull.
The diplomatic meeting is known as the biggest trade fair, and every year it attracts numerous businessmen from various countries. Does Yu Province really not have anything worth presenting?"
Minister Bai, barely containing his anger, managed to pull a smile, there was nothing he could do, as the other spoke an undeniable truth, and he found himself powerless to retaliate.
"Minister Liu is right to point that out, Our Yu Province certainly can’t compare to yours, where talent abounds."
Upon hearing this from Minister Bai, the middle-aged man known as Minister Liu beamed with pride, his face full of arrogance: "You flatter me, Minister Bai. We’re just lucky, that’s all."
Xu Ying, standing to the side, cleared her throat, attracting everyone’s attention.
Minister Liu turned his head and looked at Xu Ying with curiosity, asking, "And who is this?"
Xu Ying smiled faintly, "Our factory is just as lucky as Minister Liu’s. During the New Year, we received several big orders.
We only earned a few hundred thousand in foreign currency orders for the province, but, Minister Bai, although our earnings were modest, it wasn’t nothing. Rest assured.
This time at the diplomatic meeting, our food and textile factories will absolutely strive to secure several million in orders."
Listening to Xu Ying, the corners of Minister Bai’s mouth slowly widened into a smile, and he pointed at Xu Ying, introducing her, "This is an employee from a small factory in Yu County.
Don’t listen to her tall tales; she’s claiming several hundred thousand in orders, but the total is actually twenty million shy of a hundred million. Listen to her boasting—she’s young yet speaks so grandly.
How can our small factory compare to the likes of big ones under Minister Liu?"
Minister Liu’s face alternated between shades of red and white, as even their factory had only secured orders worth several hundred thousand last year—and those foreigners, despite looking rich, were incredibly stingy.
There was no chance of squeezing money out of them.
That old man was mocking him.
With a cold huff, Minister Liu, feeling indignant, left in a flourish.
A triumphant Minister Bai placed his hands on his hips and turned to Xiao Xu, asking, "Are you sure you can secure a million-dollar order this time?"
Xu Ying shook her head, then nodded.
Minister Bai was frustrated; this girl was giving him heart palpitations.
"So is it possible or not!"
"Minister Bai, I can’t guarantee it with just our food and textile factories, but we have other plans!" Xu Ying said, her face wearing a smile of defiance and audacity.
Minister Bai, full of curiosity, asked, "What other plans do you have?"
Xu Ying gestured Minister Bai with her hand, leading him into the train carriage, and took out a pack of instant noodles along with a seasoning packet produced by their factory.
She poured the instant noodles into a metal lunchbox, followed by the seasoning packet on top, then doused it with boiling water, and instantly a delicious aroma filled the air.
Minister Bai’s face was full of shock—it smelled amazing!
Not only was Minister Bai enticed by the aroma, but other factory workers around them were also drawn in by the scent.
Director Tian, standing closest, fought against his saliva as the fragrant smell wafted into his nostrils, resisting the urge to gaze at the instant noodles.
"Minister Bai, have you ever heard of instant noodles, have you tried them?" Xu Ying asked curiously.
Minister Bai’s face changed immediately, tightening into a mask as he defended his pride, "I’ve eaten it. How could I have not eaten this thing?"
In reality, he hadn’t actually tasted it, but out of concern for his face, he would never admit that.
He’d heard a bit about instant noodles, which had been introduced from other countries. As soon as it reached the domestic market, it sparked a craze, but the price was a bit steep, and ordinary folks simply couldn’t afford it.
However, those who had tried it all said it was good.
Director Tian sneaked a few glances and then said to Xu Ying, "Who hasn’t eaten instant noodles? You’re really looking down on people, young lady.
Who are you trying to fool with these instant noodles? The factories in Shanghai are so big; they wouldn’t fancy your factory’s seasoning packets."
Xu Ying didn’t bother to respond to his pathetic report and turned to look at Minister Bai.
She sensed that it was Minister Bai’s pride acting up; he probably hadn’t ever eaten instant noodles, so she went ahead and made him two bowls: one with the original flavor and another with their factory’s seasoning packet added.
"Minister Bai, please have a taste!"
Minister Bai smiled and took a sip of the original noodles, his expression a bit strange.
He then tried the noodles with the food factory’s seasoning packet and immediately widened his eyes, "This is delicious."
Director Tian was dying on the side. He had eaten instant noodles before, but they had never tasted this aromatic.
Director Tian looked on anxiously, frantically swallowing his saliva, but no one paid him any mind.
The corners of Xu Ying’s lips lifted slightly as she spoke, "The first noodles you just tasted were made with the seasoning packet produced by the instant noodle company itself, while the second bowl contained our factory’s exclusively produced seasoning packet.
I plan to bring our seasoning packets to Shanghai and collaborate with the instant noodle production lines there.
Foreigners will definitely enjoy this delicious and convenient treat."
Minister Bai’s expression turned serious; he was very aware of how popular instant noodles had been when they first came out. With Xu Ying’s improved seasoning packets, he believed they would be a huge hit.
"This girl," he exclaimed, "you’re just as Minister Zhang said: why is your mind so sharp?"
Xu Ying offered a modest smile, "You flatter me, Minister Bai. I’m just trying to make a contribution to Yu Province.
I believe that with Minister Bai’s support, Yu Province will certainly make a spectacular impression."
The sound of Minister Bai’s proud laughter filled the air, while Director Tian, not knowing when, had grabbed a bowl of noodles. As he ate, he cursed Xu Ying in his mind as a sycophant.
Mr. Sun couldn’t stand to watch and nudged Director Niu, "Look at Director Tian. He was still posturing with you earlier; I thought he was something special.
Now it seems he’s just a childish glutton who only knows how to eat."
Mr. Sun even doubted whether Director Tian could secure orders or if, in fact, others were using him as their order book.
Director Niu, upon seeing Director Tian’s state, twitched the corners of his mouth and turned to climb up to his own seat.
Xu Ying wasn’t idle on the train. She took her factory’s seasoning packets and started roaming around. Not only could they be used for instant noodles, but they could also be applied to various kinds of noodle dishes, dumpling fillings and more.
These were truly a godsend for lazy people.
Xu Ying, holding a freshly made bowl of hot instant noodles, quickly passed through each compartment.
This caused many in the carriage to swallow their saliva in craving.
Xu Ying, holding the instant noodles, went straight to find a train attendant, but before she could even start demonstrating her product, she unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.
Liu Suqin had been waiting for a long time for Xu Ying and, seeing her arrive, her face was brimming with smug satisfaction.
She didn’t know what was up with this girl to have offended Uncle Jiujiang.
It was her own fault; after all, this girl was so arrogantly contemptuous of everyone.
