Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 531 - 530: A Filthy Tirade

Chapter 531: Chapter 530: A Filthy Tirade

Before the textile factory transitioned to new production, the average salary in Lan County was just sixteen yuan.

So when they heard the broadcaster’s obviously trembling voice report "5,286,852.8" through the loudspeaker, everyone’s first reaction was that the leadership must be confused after waking up, trying to fool them!

It wasn’t until the workshop posted the three item numbers and production amounts that people reluctantly began to believe it a little.

Once the red banners were raised, everyone finally believed it—no matter how unserious the leadership was, they wouldn’t hang banners with lies!

In Ten Miles Team, Li Dahe was stunned for a full three minutes after hanging up the phone with the commune.

Accountant Zhao didn’t notice at first, but when he saw him standing still like a wooden statue, he couldn’t help but ask, "Bro, what’s wrong?"

Li Dahe slowly turned his stiff neck to look at him, swallowed his saliva, and said, "The commune just said, Miss Lin and her team signed a contract worth 5,286,852.8 yuan."

Accountant Zhao’s eyes went wide with shock, almost standing up from his wheelchair: "What? How much money?"

Li Dahe wiped his face, his brows tightly furrowed: "I’m wondering if these girls sold Wong Xiaokou...but that can’t be right, Wong Xiaokou isn’t worth five million, not even five hundred if you knock off the price."

Accountant Zhao touched his nose: "The Spring Trade Fair wouldn’t allow them to sell people either."

Li Dahe looked at him skeptically: "Did they really sell Head Flowers for five million? Why don’t I believe it?"

"I’ve seen the price list Miss Lin made, the cheapest one is eleven yuan eighty, to make five million... that would probably be over three hundred thousand pieces," said Accountant Zhao, "But isn’t today just the first day of the Spring Trade Fair? It’s only been a morning, how could they sell more than three hundred thousand pieces?"

Li Dahe lit a cigarette, walked back and forth several times, and concluded: "These little bastards must have conned some foreigner!"

Accountant Zhao wanted to rebut, but after thinking it over, he felt that Li Dahe’s explanation was the only possibility.

"Quick, go find Xiao Su, I’m afraid she’s caused a big problem!"

Accountant Zhao: "Bro, you want me to go? Listen to yourself, do you think that’s appropriate?"

Li Dahe glanced at him, clicked his tongue, and hurriedly scurried off.

Just after finishing a math class, Su Yuncheng was stopped by Li Dahe as he stepped out of the classroom.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Su!"

"Uncle Team Leader, did Nianhe call back?"

Major Su was somewhat worried these past few days, he had only received one phone call from Lin Nianhe when she arrived in Sui City, and the wait was making him anxious.

"No, not her," Li Dahe pulled Su Yuncheng to one side, "Xiao Su, the commune just called, said they signed a contract worth over five million at the Spring Trade Fair, this, this, Miss Lin, she didn’t cause trouble, did she?"

Su Yuncheng furrowed his brow slightly and after a moment said, "The Trade Fair has strict regulations, and the Foreign Trade Department is watching, a contract signing would definitely be with mutual consent, the chances of her causing trouble are slim."

Su Yuncheng said as much but still felt somewhat uneasy, he added, "You wait, I’ll make a call to a friend over there to ask."

"Good, good!"

Li Dahe nodded repeatedly, following Su Yuncheng to the village authority.

As they walked, he couldn’t help but mutter, "A little more or less wouldn’t be a big deal, I’m just afraid these little bastards don’t know the severity, treating the Spring Trade Fair like it’s our village’s showoff... you say they went out there not bringing anyone close and convenient with them, if they get into a fight, there’s nobody to back them up..."

"If I had known, I would have insisted that Hongzi accompany them no matter what. With Wong Xiaokou’s useless look, what could he even do? He acts like it’s killing him just to buy a kid an ice lolly..."

While everyone else was thrilled about the huge order, Li Dahe worried that the youngsters who went out might cause trouble.

If it had been in front of his eyes, he would have been absolutely fearless, even if it led to a fight, as the entire village with three hundred people young and old couldn’t be overpowered, could they?

But once people go out to places he can’t see or control, then he starts to fear.

Afraid that they’d be bullied, afraid that they’d have no one to back them up, afraid that they’d be thirsty, hungry...

Su Yuncheng made three phone calls in the village authority before he finally got hold of Minister Huang’s current number, Li Dahe didn’t even mind the cost of the calls now, and before he got through to Minister Huang, he specifically instructed him to ask clearly and not hang up until they had the confirmed news.

"Hello, Uncle Huang, this is Su Yuncheng."

"Hey, Yuncheng, what’s up?"

"We received a call from Sui City, saying Nianhe and her team signed an external trade order worth five million, are you aware of this?"

"Hey! You sure got the news fast, I just heard it myself and didn’t get a chance to ask for details," Minister Huang laughed heartily, "They said it was a contract signed with a Hong Kong merchant. They saw Hongzi wearing the Head Flower at the exhibition and came looking for us right after the meeting."

Su Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you sure there’s no problem with the contract?"

"What’s there to be uncertain about? Don’t you know? Hongzi made the booth so impressive, anyone could see the Lan County’s Head Flower, it would be a real shock if it didn’t sell well!"

"In that case," Su Yuncheng glanced at Li Dahe lying next to the telephone and said, "Please send someone to inform Nianhe, so she can find time to call the Ten Miles Team office. The villagers are worried about their situation."

"Sure thing."

"Then you’re busy, I won’t disturb you any longer."

"Alright then."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuncheng nodded at Li Dahe: "There’s no big problem, don’t worry."

"Phew—"

Li Dahe let out a long sigh of relief, collapsing onto the chair.

It wasn’t until a while later that he remembered: "Hey, they signed a contract worth over five million just this morning? This great news has to be shared with the villagers quickly!"

Soon, the loudspeaker voice spread throughout the Ten Miles Team.

Ten minutes later, the Team office was surrounded.

"What’s going on? What five million? Did that weasel Wong Xiao really sell our kids?"

...

"Achoo—Achoo—A-A-A-Achoo!"

Somehow, ever since Wong Xiao came back from making the phone call, he couldn’t stop sneezing.

"Uncle Wong, did you catch a cold?" Wen Lan asked him.

Wong Xiao rubbed his nose with a handkerchief, self-satisfied: "Impossible, it must be the villagers praising us!"

The other four exchanged glances.

Praising them?

Then why weren’t they sneezing?

"I don’t know about others, but the villagers must think Uncle Wong sold us all off after hearing the news," Wang Shumei whispered to Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe nodded: "Yeah, they’re probably swearing up a storm."

They shared a knowing smile, and not far away, Nishi came over with her assistant in a stroll.

"Lin, why is your booth in such a remote location?" Nishi looked surprised and then glanced at the white-haired Wong Xiao, "Is this gentleman the founder of ’Lan’? I’ve always wanted to hear him talk about ’Lan’s’ philosophy. Unfortunately, now that the Spring Trade Fair has started, I don’t have time for stories."

She spoke considerately, and Lin Nianhe also smiled lightly, giving a slight nod: "Yes, you’re busy snatching up goods, better to focus on the important tasks."

"Well, then I’ll get going." Nishi smiled and waved at her, clearly having no intention of staying to talk business.

Lin Nianhe nodded with an imperceptible smile: "Alright, goodbye."

Just as Nishi had walked a few steps away, an officer from the Foreign Trade Department came running over to Lin Nianhe: "Comrade Xiao Lin, Minister Huang asked me to tell you, your Ten Miles Team heard about the five million contract you signed with the Hong Kong merchant. He wants you to call back tonight, no matter how late it is, they’ll be waiting."

Nishi understood Chinese and couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this, but then her smile returned.

"Huaxia people really don’t know how to do business, do they?"

She muttered a sentence in French, very softly.

Nishi neither thought her voice would be heard nor that anyone present would understand French.

But Lin Nianhe did hear her, and she understood the meaning.

Lin Nianhe watched her back, a chill flashing in her eyes.

An interesting turn of events—time to find a new partner.
