Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: What do you think of this matter? Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: What do you think of this matter? Lu Yichen came back just as Luo Qiao and the others were getting ready to leave, “Brother Chen, have you had breakfast yet?”
Lu Yichen nodded, “Are you guys heading out?”
Luo Qiao smiled coquettishly, “Yeah, the two kids have been cooped up at home for too long. I’m taking them out to get some fresh air. The weather’s about to cool down, so we’re going to see if the department store has any suitable clothes or fabric for them.”
Lu Yichen glanced at his own clothes, “Wait for me a sec, I’ll change my outfit and come with you.”
Rong Daniang came out from the house, “Qiaoqiao, if Yichen is accompanying you, then your Elder Rong and I won’t go. We should be sowing seeds these days, and in a few days, when the greenhouse is set up, we’ll need to transplant.”
Luo Qiao saw Elder Rong busy with something, “Alright then.”
Rong Daniang walked a few steps, then turned back, “Make sure to keep a close eye on the children, and don’t buy too many clothes. Shouldn’t ‘Si Jin’ be delivering clothes over here in the next few days?”
Luo Qiao nodded with a smile, “Got it. If there’s something suitable, we’ll buy it; if not, I’ll just grab some fabric and make them something myself. ‘Si Jin’ should have already started selling their new line.”
Speaking of the devil, right as Luo Qiao finished her sentence, Lu Ningzhou’s car just happened to stop at the gate.
He came in carrying a bag of clothes, “I’ve been so busy lately. The clothes were ready half a month ago, but I completely forgot amidst the chaos.”
Luo Qiao started laughing, “We were just talking about you.”
Lu Ningzhou laughed, “You weren’t by any chance mentioning the clothes, were you?”
The two children politely greeted him, “Hello, Uncle Lu.”
Lu Ningzhou laughed as he patted the little buns on the children’s heads, “Hi Yanyan, hi Yueyue. You’ve both grown quite a bit and are getting prettier.”
The two children now liked hearing compliments about their looks and giggled upon hearing his comments.
Luo Qiao handed the bag of clothes to Rong Daniang, “Daniang, take them to try these on. If they don’t fit, they can just take them straight home; it won’t affect the sales.”
Then, squatting down, she whispered to her daughters, “Go try on your new clothes. If they don’t fit, we can change them. Once Daddy gets here, we’ll all go out to have fun.”
The two children smiled cheekily at Lu Ningzhou, “Thank you for the clothes, Uncle Lu. We’re going to try them on now.”
At that moment, the sunlight was perfect in the yard. Luo Qiao brewed a pot of tea and placed it on the table outside, “How’s everything at the factory now?”
Lu Ningzhou took a sip of the tea Luo Qiao had poured and said, “The design department is now established, and we have six designers. We’ve used six of their drawings, and the designs have started shipping out these past few days. The response so far is not bad.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “That’s good to hear.”
As they spoke, Lu Yichen too emerged, now dressed in a casual outfit that Luo Qiao had personally made for him some time ago; he looked like he was born to wear clothes.
Now quite familiar with Lu Ningzhou, he greeted with a smile, “Well, look who’s here.”
Lu Ningzhou replied, “Your wife left such a huge factory in my hands. I’m so busy every day that I hardly touch ground. If it weren’t for a matter I needed to discuss today, I wouldn’t have even had time to come over. Your daughters’ clothes have been ready for half a month, and I’d completely forgotten due to the rush.”
Luo Qiao, hearing there was something to be discussed, looked up and asked, “What’s going on?”
Lu Ningzhou had another sip of tea and explained, “Next to our factory, there’s the thermos bottle factory. There’s a plot of vacant land beside it, remember? They were initially planning to keep it to build a warehouse.
But now, on the one hand, their finances are tight, and on the other, they want to install a new production line. However, the city requires them to self-fund it, and the finances will reimburse them when there’s money available.
They’re now considering selling that piece of land in the factory area, and as you know, it wouldn’t make much sense for other factories to take it over, but it’s perfect for our factory. The thermos bottle factory manager came looking for me yesterday to test the waters. What do you think?”
Luo Qiao put down her teacup, “This is good news! Who wouldn’t want more space? If we secure that vacant land, we won’t have to worry about where to build if we want to expand the factory in the future.”
After chatting a bit more, Lu Ningzhou stood up, ready to go back and finalize the deal.
Rong Daniang arrived just in time, bringing the kids along, “The clothes fit them well.”
Lu Ningzhou smiled, “That’s great.”
The two children held hands, “Thank you, Uncle Lu. We really like them.”
Lu Ningzhou looked at the two adorably dressed children, “As long as you like them. They are your mother’s designs, after all.”
