Although Lin Mai is young, he is only two or three years older than Leader Xie's daughter.
But Leader Xie never looked down on her because she was young.
Instead, he looked at her in a new light because of her outstanding career and academic performance.
His two daughters were admitted to junior colleges all because of Lin Mai's encouragement. Leader Xie wanted to tell Lin Mai the good news.
But he has his own ideas.
Lin Mai once promised his two daughters that if they were admitted to a college or above, she would give each of them a gold necklace.
He was afraid that if he told Lin Mai the good news, she would misunderstand that he was reminding her not to forget to give his two daughters gold necklaces.
It seemed that he was short-sighted and greedy, so he delayed telling her the news.
Now when Lin Mai asked about it, Leader Xie laughed and said, "I was so busy at work that I forgot about it."
Lin Mai didn't want to expose him: "I'm just saying, wait and wait and wait for the good news about the two sisters. It turns out that Leader Xie is too busy with work and forgot about it."
In a few words, she successfully concealed that she had forgotten her promise to the two sisters, and instead put the responsibility on Leader Xie.
Can't help but hide it.
If Leader Xie knew that she had forgotten his two daughters, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
When the house was inspected and the house was inspected, she deliberately refused to accept it. She would be dumb and unable to express her suffering.
Leader Xie said cheerfully: "Without your encouragement, Sister Fangyuan might not have been able to get into college."
His words were not polite, but expressed gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
He knew very well how his precious daughters were studying.
It’s not that you may not be able to get into a junior college, it’s that you definitely won’t be able to get into a junior college.
He told Lin Mai "not necessarily" because he was concerned about the appearance of his two daughters. After all, they were both eighteen-year-old girls.
Lin Mai said politely on the phone: "What the hell, my two sisters are still smart and have nothing to do with me."
No parent likes others to praise their children for being smart, and Leader Xie is no exception.
He was so happy that his mouth burst into laughter.
Lin Mai expressed concern: "Although work is important, leaders must pay attention to their health. The body is the capital of the revolution."
Then the conversation changed and I asked Leader Xie when their family would hold a banquet for college entrance.
Leader Xie thought for a moment: "In three days."
Three days later it's Sunday, and the guests can come and have a wedding banquet without asking for leave.
Thanks to my wife, dinner has already been prepared.
As soon as Leader Xie and Lin Mai ended the call, Xie's wife put dinner on the table.
A family of four had dinner together.
Mrs. Xie praised: "School is about to start, but Xiao Lin has never called to ask about Fangfang and Yuanyuan's situation after the college entrance examination.
I thought she had forgotten our two precious daughters, and the original promise was just a casual remark.
I didn’t expect that people have been thinking about our daughter. This child is a nice person."
Leader Xie didn't call Lin Mai because he was afraid she would misunderstand, but he kept waiting for Lin Mai's call.
But Lin Mai never called. He had the same idea as his wife.
I feel that the Linmai people are fake. They talk sweetly when they want to take advantage of you. After using you, they will burn the bridge.
He didn't even ask whether his daughter had been admitted to a junior college, and he was extremely dissatisfied with her.
Now Lin Mai took the initiative to call and asked when their family would hold a college entrance banquet.
Leader Xie's dissatisfaction disappeared. Like his wife, he felt that Lin Mai was a good character.
.........
Lin Mai, who was sitting at the dinner table munching on braised pork ribs, had no idea that her timely phone call had saved her image in the minds of Leader Xie and his wife.
The day after Lin Mai finished the phone call with Leader Xie, Ren Baozhu called and told her excitedly that Jinxiu Clothing and Lily Jewelry had received many orders from Hong Kong.
Lin Mai asked strangely: "Why did you suddenly receive an order from Hong Kong? Is it Chen Feng who helped?"
This was the only possibility she could think of.
In this era, Hong Kong looked down upon mainland clothes and accessories, thinking they were too tacky.
Ren Baozhu said: "It's not Mr. Chen's help, but the Hong Kong drama "Ups and Downs" that we sponsored has been popular in Hong Kong for a month.
The costumes and accessories of the heroine in the play are very popular among Hong Kong women. Only the brocade costumes and lily headdresses have received so many orders from Hong Kong."
When Lin Mai sponsored the Hong Kong drama "Rising Seas", he really wanted to use the huge influence of Hong Kong dramas to open up the market for brocade costumes and lily headdresses in Hong Kong.
Unexpectedly, it not only opened up the market, but also gave her such a big surprise.
However, Lin Mai knew in her heart that this was because her brocade clothing and Lily headdress were of good quality and style.
Of course, part of the reason is that she changed Wantong Company into a Hong Kong company.
Jinxiu Clothing and Lily Headwear also became Hong Kong companies, and Hong Kong consumers were no longer repelled.
It's a pity that this Hong Kong drama has not been released in mainland China, otherwise it would have set off a buying frenzy and there would have been more franchise stores.
But Lin Mai is already very satisfied with the current situation.
She is not a particularly radical person, preferring to be down-to-earth and take her time step by step.
Lin Mai asked Ren Baozhu by the way how the sock factory was doing.
Ren Baozhu said: "I was about to report this to you. I went to Guangzhou to dig up the factory director.
Even though it was as per your request, I went a few days later.
But when I went to recruit people, the employees made various demands, many of which were excessive.
So I left them alone and returned to Jiangcheng to buy a factory and equipment with Deputy Director Hou.
All of these are almost ready, only skilled workers are needed.
I just want to ask Mr. Lin what I should do to prevent the employees from asking the factory director to make excessive demands."
Lin Mai said: "The reason why those people make excessive demands is not because they think they are hot cakes and you have to treat them.
Then just let them not be treated as a piece of cake."
"How to prevent them from being treated like meat and potatoes?"
"Only half of the people are recruited. If there is competition, no one will dare to make any more demands."
Ren Baozhu smiled happily on the other end of the phone: "Why didn't I think of this trick?"
She then wondered: "If we only recruit half of the people, our sock factory will not have enough manpower, and it will slow down production."
"Fool, if you only recruit half of the people, the other half who are not recruited will definitely beg you to recruit more people and recruit them too.
You wait until they have almost achieved what they ask for, and then reluctantly agree to them.
Those people don't dare to make demands, and you have recruited enough people, so production will not be affected."
Ren Baozhu admired Lin Mai greatly.
There is a reason why people can become the CEO of a large private enterprise at a young age.
Ideas are popping up one by one. No ordinary person can think of these ideas!
Soon the day came when Leader Xie held a banquet for his twins to attend college.
After breakfast in the morning, Lin Mai rummaged through the boxes and started looking for the shirt for the banquet.
She picked up a yellow and black plaid spring and autumn dress from the closet and prepared to put it on.
Fang Zhuoran reminded from the side: "This is the capital, not Jiangcheng, and the weather has long been cold.
If you are pregnant again and wear spring and autumn skirts, your legs will feel cold even if you wear stockings. You may develop arthritis from the cold and suffer in old age."
How can arthritis develop from freezing for just one day?
But Lin Mai was afraid of freezing the baby in her belly, so she hung the spring and autumn skirt back in the closet.
I chose a creamy white open-chest thin sweater and a pair of wide-leg jeans to put on.
The sweater was a little tight on her body, making her breasts look taller and bigger, causing Fang Zhuoyue to stare there with green eyes.
The waist of the jeans is too small, so I can fit them in, but I can't breathe.
Lin Mai quickly took it off, fearing that the baby in her belly would be uncomfortable.
Since returning from filming, Lin Mai has been wearing maternity clothes made for her by Grandma Fang in the tailor shop.
Grandma Fang said that maternity clothes are loose and suitable for the baby to grow in the belly.
Therefore, Lin Mai didn't know at all that she had gained weight without even realizing it. She gained a lot of weight.
