Chapter 214: Then I’ll Make the Effort to Make a Trip
Kong Wenhui came back without the items she had taken with her. Her face could barely conceal her excitement, and her hands were trembling. When Shen Meng looked up at her, she could see the muscles around her mouth twitching.
"Xiao Meng, our factory manager said he could specifically seek out... seek out that friend of yours to buy from. When could your friend have the goods ready?"
"Sister Kong, what are you talking about? Your factory manager, it’s not okay, I’m not familiar with that person. That person only knew through someone else that Qianqian was having her confinement period and wanted to send a gift to build a relationship, people from the Li family don’t even know him, all I did was hear it."
Kong Wenhui had just been preoccupied with settling her internal affairs and had forgotten to ask Shen Meng about the specifics. Now she had already mentioned it to the factory manager; if she couldn’t sort this out properly, how would she ever stay in the factory.
"Xiao Meng, you must help me out. If you manage to secure a batch of fine grains and ingredients, I’ll apply for a bonus for you, okay? Our subsidiary food factory didn’t perform well last year, and if this year turns out well, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to pay salaries."
Things are different now compared to before. Before, everyone was working their own small plot of land, but now goods circulate quickly and products produced in our county aren’t rare at all, even dirt clumps from outside are considered rare commodities.
Shen Meng gritted her teeth, "Sister, then I’ll go and ask around, but we must keep this a secret, especially from the Li family, and I won’t get involved in this, I don’t care about any bonus, just pretend I wasn’t here today, okay?"
"Okay, okay, you’re right. If Mr. Li’s family are all upright people, not only can they not know, but my family and my elder brother’s family can’t know either, otherwise they would definitely speak ill of me. Xiao Meng, I await your news, we can discuss the price."
