Not to be taken advantage of

No one thought that Gu Qingning's parents actually knew foreign friends, and they seemed to have a good relationship with them?

This was the first time for most parents to go abroad and they were quite unfamiliar with foreign countries. The external relations of Gu Qingning's parents suddenly came to the fore——

This made parents who also came to take their children to participate in the competition to look more closely at the Gu couple.

Lan Shu and Xiao Bai don't care how others view themselves.

At noon, under Mark's warm invitation, the two of them took their daughter to a nearby high-end restaurant for dinner.

As for Lan Dazhuang and the three people who came abroad with Lan Shu's family, Mark met Lan Dazhuang more than ten years ago and knew that Lan Dazhuang was Lan Shu's brother.

Originally, he invited Lan Dazhuang and his wife to have dinner with their son, but they were too embarrassed to go.

Lan Dazhuang could still tell the difference between someone else's courtesy and a sincere invitation. His sister's friends mainly invited his sister and brother-in-law to get together, so there was no need for him to follow.

Next to Lan Shu, it was the first time for little Qingning to know that his parents had foreign friends. The child was very curious about this foreign uncle.

When he learned that Lan Shu and Xiao Bai came to Europe this time to take their children to participate in a piano competition, Mark expressed great praise for Xiao Qing Ning!

"Little Qingning is so great! She deserves to be Lan Shu's daughter!"

Mark almost blindly trusts Lan Shu’s abilities!

In his eyes, Lan Shu is very powerful, especially in business, she can be said to be omnipotent.

Therefore, Lan Shu's daughter should naturally be excellent.

When it came to doing business, Mark immediately became excited and said, "Lanshu, I have long said that with your ability, you should develop abroad and make a lot of money internationally."

Mark still didn't give up the idea of ​​inviting Lan Shu to do business abroad.

He felt that a business genius like Lan Shu should develop on a bigger stage!

After hearing Mark's invitation, Lan Shu actually didn't have any ideas at all.

When her clothing factory opened a branch in Shenzhen two years ago, she had planned to export jeans abroad. However, because there were no external channels, the business of exporting clothing has been delayed.

Lan Shu came abroad this time to accompany her daughter in the competition, but if there are business opportunities, it would of course be the icing on the cake.

So Lan Shu asked Mark if he had any connections in the clothing industry.

Mark is the small leader of the machine factory. All the sales of various machines in the factory have to go through him, so of course Mark has contact information for some foreign companies and manufacturers that purchase sewing machines.

But to get an appointment with those people, you must use favors.

Because it was Lan Shu who asked him for help, Mark was willing to use his connections for Lan Shu.

He immediately agreed, "No problem, leave it to me, Lan Shu, and I will make arrangements for you to meet the other party."

Lan Shu is very grateful for Mark's help.

And her gratitude was more than just words.

After the clothing export business is negotiated, she will prepare all the necessary remarks.

Everyone was quite happy with the meal at noon.

It was also the first time for little Qingning to see her mother talking so calmly and confidently to foreigners.

During this process, little Qingning's eyes were attracted by her mother's every move, word and deed.

She used to only know that her mother opened a company, but now, Xiao Qingning found that her mother was far more powerful than she imagined!

This makes her want to follow her mother's example even more. As her mother's daughter, she hopes that she can become better and make her mother proud of herself!

After lunch, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai separated from Mark and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.

The piano competition starts tomorrow, and the children's competition is in the morning, so the children participating today must be well rested in order to be in their best condition.

Returning to the hotel, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were about to take their daughter back to the room, but in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, they met someone from the domestic competition party who was taking their children to compete abroad.

"Parent Gu Qingning, can you please have a chat?" The person who came was a woman in her thirties, slightly fat, wearing glasses, she looked simple in appearance, but her eyes were shining.

When she arrived, she spoke directly to Xiaobai, leaving Lan Shu aside the whole time.

Because in her opinion, the man is the head of the family, and a man's words are more useful than a woman's.

Even though she herself is a woman, deep down she feels that men are stronger than women.

Xiaobai recognized the other party's identity. Regarding the purpose of the person in front of him, he casually asked, "Is something wrong?"

The woman immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am the teacher leading the youth group of our competition this time. I saw you interacting with foreigners at the hotel door before. I must be familiar with them, right?"

"It's like this. This is our first time to represent China in an overseas competition. After the competition, we still have plenty of time and can definitely spend a day sightseeing."

"If it can help the children understand the situation abroad and broaden their horizons, then this trip will be worthwhile. However, since we are not familiar with the place, we hope that Mr. Gu can contact your friends abroad and find a guide for us.

"

In fact, this request is nothing more than help finding a guide. Even if Xiaobai doesn't ask Mark for help, he can just spend some money to hire someone.

So he nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Hearing his answer, the woman was very happy, so she asked, "Mr. Gu, we have limited funds this time, so we can't go to expensive places..."

"Then let's find a nearby park for a walk." Lan Shu took the words.

Traveling abroad requires money everywhere. Taking a bus here is more expensive than in China, and tickets to various attractions are not cheap, so it is impossible to travel around without spending money.

"But just wandering around, it would be too much of a waste of the opportunity for the children to go abroad! Mr. Gu, do you think you can think of other ways?" the middle-aged woman said, turning her gaze again.

On Gu Qingning's father.

There was an obvious hint in their eyes and tone, almost saying that they had no money, but wanted to go to good attractions, so they asked their parents to pay for the arrangements.

Thinking about it, she had inquired about their identities before she said these words.

I know that Gu Qingning's parents are rich people and they are not short of money at all.

But such a request sounded ridiculous to Lan Shu.

She and Xiaobai are willing to help find a guide, even if it costs money, but it is impossible to bear the travel expenses of everyone in the event group.

It's not that she is stingy, but why?

She doesn't know anyone else in the event group, so she has no reason to spend money on others.

The woman in front of them could tell that they had limited funds and asked them to find someone to take everyone out for fun. There was no need to explain where the expenses would come from.

They are not short of money, but they cannot be taken advantage of.
