Chapter 96 Renting a House

After the leather is decided, the next step is to find a shoe processing factory. After some inquiries, the two found out that the six shoe processing factories recommended by Director He all had good reputations.

Lu Jiaxin and Gu Wenfeng first went to the leather shoe factory with the best reputation called Xunxun. Unexpectedly, the person in charge of this shoe factory said that he would only accept orders from Hong Kong City and not from the mainland.

Gu Wenfeng frowned and said, "Why don't you take orders from the mainland?"

Director Song explained: “By receiving orders from Hong Kong City, we can earn foreign exchange and contribute to the country.”

This slogan was shouted loudly, but Lu Jiaxin knew that everything was beneficial. The foreign exchange earned by selling the goods will be subsidized by the public.

Gu Wenfeng said: "We can pay in green coins."

Director Song said dubiously: "If you pay green coins, then I will definitely take your order, but I have to pay a 30% deposit first."

Lu Jiaxin said that they had to think about this matter again and left Xunxun Shoe Factory.

Gu Wenfeng didn't understand, so he walked out of the shoe factory and asked why: "The leather shoes they make are well-known, and their scale is also large. Jiaxin, we have green coins, which can meet his requirements."

Lu Jiaxin felt that he was really not good at doing business: "Although we did not immediately convert the money into Chinese currency, it was impossible to withdraw the money."

"Why? The money is ours, they have no control over how you use it."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "The green coins have entered the bank. Do you think they can let the meat fly away from their lips? Don't worry about getting angry. Let's ask supervisor He to come forward and intercede. They should be able to accept it."

Gu Wenfeng couldn't help complaining: "Asking them to make shoes was originally to make money for them, but now it seems like we are begging them."

This is indeed true. A contract processing factory with good technology and honesty will not have to worry about running out of business in this era. If you want to jump in line, you can't do it without showing some strength.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "You can make money without bowing your head."

They also visited the other five businesses. Two of them were family workshops that were too small, and there was one where the owner was no longer in charge but his brother-in-law was in charge. The other party saw that they were wearing ordinary clothes and directly said that their own factory could not finish the orders and had no time to accept any more work. Director Song said this politely, but his face was full of impatience.

When they left, another person came to the processing plant. This man was wearing a floral shirt, bell-bottom trousers, a big gold chain, and a BB camera around his waist. He looked like a wealthy man.

When Lu Jiaxin saw the man who had just ignored them, she immediately changed her face when she saw this handsome man speaking with a Hong Kong accent. He handed the cigarette and took out a lighter to help light the fire. The way he nodded and bowed was almost invisible.

After walking out of the factory, Lu Jiaxin looked at what she and Gu Wenfeng were wearing, and said with a smile: "A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. Our clothes are indeed too casual."

Gu Wenfeng thought about what the man was wearing just now and said that he couldn't wear that kind of floral shirt.

Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said: "The flowery shirt is not the important point, the important thing is the big gold chain and the BB machine. At first glance, it looks rich. Unlike us, it looks shabby."

After running around all day, Lu Jiaxin went to bed early. What she didn't expect was that she felt light-headed and light-headed when she got up the next day.

Lu Jiaxin was helpless because she caught a cold again.

Gu Wenfeng was not surprised and said: "You haven't recovered from the cold you had before. You have been running around outside these days, and there was a cold wind yesterday. Since you have called Lu Jiajie to come and help, you can rest peacefully in the guest house to recuperate these days, etc. Let’s talk when he comes.”

Lu Jiaxin didn't dare to show off: "Have you gone to see if the house has been cleaned?"

The house has been rented. It is a private house with six rooms. Lu Jiaxin loves cleanliness very much. The previous tenant in that house was not very particular about it. There was a lot of dirt in the kitchen and there was a lot of dust on the furniture in the corners of the room. This house is in a good location and has convenient transportation. I rented it after the landlord promised to clean it. They have been running out for the past two days and have no time to go over and look at the house.

Gu Wenfeng took her to see a doctor, took the medicine and sent her back to the guest house. Because I was worried, I asked the waiter to take care of it before going to the rental house.

He came back after one o'clock in the afternoon. Knowing that Lu Jiaxin was concerned about this matter, he said: "The house has been cleaned. I just went to buy bedding. We will go there after lunch."

"good."

When Lu Jiaxin got there, she saw that the house was very clean and the furniture had been wiped down.

Gu Wenfeng watched her go to the kitchen, stopped her and said, "Don't worry, I've seen it. The stove, cupboards, pots and pans are all clean. You're still sick, so go to bed and lie down."

Lu Jiaxin said: "Keep the big items like the pots, basins and buckets, but you need to boil several pots of water to soak them. We don't need the bowls and chopsticks. We bought them ourselves. Don't throw away the things. Put them away and return them to the landlord."

"Just put it away in a corner, why bother giving it to the landlord."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "My niece Xiaoqiu is like my aunt, she lives her life very carefully. When she arrives, she will definitely find these dishes and chopsticks to use."

Gu Wenfeng also thought it could be used: "If you think it's not clean, I'll just put it in the pot and cook it a few more times."

Lu Jiaxin did not agree and said: "Other things can be used as makeshift, but not the food. I don't know how many people have used the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen. I don't want to use them no matter how many times you cook them."

Gu Wenfeng couldn't help but said: "The conditions are better now. When I was a child, I would still use the bowls at home even if they were cracked."

Lu Jiaxin had a very different idea from others. She said, "It's okay if my own bowls and chopsticks have holes. When I was a kid, I could wear them even if my clothes and shoes had holes. But bowls and chopsticks are different. They are stained with people's saliva and are dirty."

Gu Wenfeng was speechless.

It took three days for Lu Jiajie to finally decide on the candidates to go to Pengcheng. A total of four people were found, two of whom were Ah Sheng and Ah Le, who Lu Jiaxin called to help when she moved, one was his friend's father Master Jia, and the other was his master's eldest son Sha Xiangyang.

Sha Xiangyang inherited his father's business and was also an employee of the shoe factory. He worked for eleven years, but was fired because of his lifestyle. It was difficult to find a job in Sijiucheng, so he could only do odd jobs after being fired. He heard that Pengcheng was easy to make money, so he went there at the beginning of the year. As a result, the money and documents in his bag were stolen as soon as he got off the train. Fortunately, he hid money in the soles of his shoes, and with this money, he found a relative in Pengcheng.

This relative of his was not bad. He introduced them to work in the shoe factory. It is called a shoe factory, but it is actually a small workshop, but the more work you do, the higher the salary. It was just that Sha Xiangyang had a bad temper. He had a big fight with his boss after working for less than half a month, and was driven away by his boss before he even got his salary.

At this time, Sha Xiangyang's mother fell ill and was very ill. Sha Xiangyang got the news and rushed back. Fortunately, the old lady survived safely.

Lu Jiajie's master was very good to him. Although he scolded him a lot, it was because he was lazy and unmotivated. He knew that Master Sha had always been worried about Sha Xiangyang. Indeed, it was not a good thing to do odd jobs all the time. Thinking that he had been to Pengcheng and had experience, he went to ask, and the other party agreed as soon as he heard it.

The tickets had been bought. At 7:30 the next day, Lu Jiajie took Xue Mao and a few others on the train heading south.
