Chapter 231: That Must Be Heatstroke Then
At this time, Lu Qiaoge saw that Zhen Xi’s complexion had already improved.
The medicine from earlier was probably a sedative or something similar, but more importantly, it was the energy in her palm that had taken effect.
She quietly moved her hand away without a sound.
She glanced at Zhen Xi, then shouted to Director Zhou: “It’s fine now, General Manager Zhen has already recovered.”
Hearing this, Director Zhou, who had been rushing over hurriedly, stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Lu Qiaoge.
Then he and Old Hu told the others to stay in the corridor, and he and Old Hu entered the meeting room together.
They saw that Zhen Xi was covered in sweat on his head and face.
Secretary You was holding a handkerchief and wiping sweat for Zhen Xi.
The two were really startled, and Director Zhou asked again whether they really needed to go to the hospital.
Secretary You said from the side: “No problem, he’s much better now, and we brought our own doctor.”
Director Zhou and Old Hu didn’t insist any further.
If Zhen Xi agreed, that would be fine, but if he didn’t agree, it was impossible to forcibly send him to the hospital.
This was a point specially noted in their reception rules.
It was said that these rich people, especially top-tier tycoons, wouldn’t go to the hospital like ordinary people when they got sick.
They had private doctors, even their own private hospitals.
Including Zhen Zihao, whose health condition was said to be confidential.
Then his heir should be even more so.
Old Hu and Director Zhou exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Secretary You was looking at Lu Qiaoge with an expression of both gratitude and shock.
In fact, the whole thing had taken less than two minutes from start to finish.
This young Director Lu had covered up a secret that was almost discovered.
So, had Director Lu guessed something?
Did her words and actions all have a purpose?
But at this moment, neither Secretary You nor Zhen Xi had time to think about this.
However, Lu Qiaoge was explaining as if she hadn’t seen Zhen Xi’s ferocious expression from earlier at all.
“The weather is very hot today, our conditions here are simple, we don’t even have air conditioners, not even fans, this is our negligence, really sorry, General Manager Zhen.”
So Director Lu thought Zhen Xi had suffered a heatstroke?
Secretary You finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen Xi froze for a moment, then slowly stood up, looking at Lu Qiaoge a few steps away.
The room was somewhat quiet, and Zhen Xi’s gaze was somewhat deep.
There were no huge waves in his heart, but it was far from calm.
This episode had subsided so quickly.
While it made him relieved, his heart was filled with doubts.
Zhen Xi hesitated for a moment, his voice calm, but his expression very serious: “Director Lu, I did suffer a bit of heatstroke earlier, but now it’s fine, no need for you to apologize, this is my own issue, it has nothing to do with you.”
At this point, he deliberately emphasized again: “Director Lu, the content we discussed earlier is all valid, proceed just as we said, my team will stay one more day.”
At this point, Zhen Xi paused, then continued: “Also, my hypermarket, my clothing company, even my assets all belong to me personally, the orders I sign have legal effect no matter when or where, even if something happens to me, the Zhen Family will pay all the payments according to legal procedures.”
Lu Qiaoge looked at Zhen Xi in surprise.
Their eyes met, and Lu Qiaoge understood what Zhen Xi wanted to express.
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said: “We know General Manager Zhen has substantial assets, and is even the heir of the Zhen Group, the reason for signing these orders with us is also because Jiangcheng is the place where the Zhen Family has lived for generations, with deep emotions here, on the other hand, it’s also to help us get out of our dilemma as soon as possible, we are very grateful to General Manager Zhen.”
Lu Qiaoge’s words were said very beautifully and movingly.
And by this time, Zhen Xi’s negative emotions had long been swept away.
He politely apologized to Director Zhou and the comrades from the Reception Office.
Director Zhou naturally said again that it was their inadequate care, then cheerfully sent them back to the Swan Hotel.
Lu Qiaoge had come by bicycle, and Chang An put Lu Qiaoge’s bicycle in the trunk of the jeep, and the group drove towards the military factory.
There was no talk along the way, and according to Old Hu’s intention, the jeep stopped at the main door of the Xiangyang Street factory.
The driver was the factory department driver Xiao Zhu.
It wasn’t his first time here.
But he felt that this small factory seemed about to undergo a big change soon.
He thought that if there was recruitment, he might have to pull some strings.
Nowadays, the handicraft group and the food group were still separate.
Turning past the factory building, he smelled the aroma of flaky pastries and corn cakes.
Chang An headed straight to his handicraft workshop.
It was converted from a large warehouse.
It used to have a yellow mud ground.
Old Hu found people to install a batch of old floorboards here, and built wooden shelves nearby. In the middle was a long workbench, with chairs for the workers on both sides.
Actually, the conditions of the handicraft group like this were already very good.
And at the doorway was the materials area.
Lu Qiaoge simply explained a bit, and Fan Xiaoyu, who was already a formal worker, understood what was going on.
She quickly put down the straw weaving in her hands.
Lu Qiaoge saw that everyone was working in an orderly manner according to the method she described plus their own ideas.
The nimble Jiu Ying went to select Jinjin Grass, while Chang An and Fan Xiaoyu studied new styles of sunflower seed baskets and straw weaving fans.
There was a stack of rough paper on the workbench, with pencils, fountain pens, rulers, and various stationery nearby.
The two talked while drawing.
The Jinjin Grass was quickly selected and all placed on the workbench.
Da Tian helped count them together, and once counted, Jiu Ying started weaving the base.
Wei Dong was also selecting Jinjin Grass for weaving fans.
When the two finished weaving the base, Fan Xiaoyu and Chang An had also finished discussing, took over and continued weaving.
When it came time for edging, someone else would do it.
This procedure was suitable for multiple people to operate.
Lu Qiaoge walked around once and then no longer paid attention.
She just needed to check the finished products at the end.
There was no need to micromanage the process in between, after all, she really belonged to the type that only moved her mouth.
She mentioned the raw materials to Director Hu.
This was easy to handle, because they had already talked to Brigade Leader Lin, no matter how much they brought, they would acquire it all here.
Supplies could also be accepted, or cash.
Now it seemed they still needed to expand the acquisition scale.
The food factory’s land was not small.
They could build a shed outside, as long as they did proper fire prevention.
After walking around, Old Hu found there was no place he could help.
Old Hu called Lu Qiaoge to the side: “You just keep an eye on this side, no need to go to the Neighborhood Committee.”
Lu Qiaoge nodded and said to Old Hu: “For expanding the scale and recruitment, wait until the orders are signed, then we sit down with Director Zhou and Su Hongmei to discuss.”
This would require cooperation.
The place was easy to arrange, the main thing now was talent.
Old Hu thought for a moment, then asked again: “That… is Zhen Xi really just suffering from heatstroke?”
Lu Qiaoge nodded very naturally.
Old Hu was someone who didn’t tolerate sand in his eyes, this matter really couldn’t be told to him.
When Lu Qiaoge went home in the evening, she saw Grandma Sun coming out of her courtyard.
Grandma Sun didn’t smile warmly as usual, but left with a gloomy face.
There was no need to ask Meng Xia, whose expression wasn’t great.
It must have been confirmed that it was indeed her family’s big black dog that bit.
