A soft-waisted educated youth has sex with a loyal dog and a rough guy in the 1960s

"The exchange meeting was only a few days long, but there are many colleagues working on international affairs at the embassy and consulate there, so this visit was also an exchange and learning experience among colleagues."

Lu Miao shook his head and explained to him in a hushing voice.

But after saying that, I was afraid that he still felt that the business trip was too long, so I assured him again:
"I will call home often to let them know I'm safe, Brother You, there's really no need to worry too much about this..."

Worry comes from our nature. How can we stop worrying just by saying so?

Fu Jingyou frowned, his worries lingering, and he sighed softly:
"It's too far. It's just too far."

If you are on a business trip within the country, no matter how far you go, we are still family, and no matter how evil the people you meet are, there will be a bottom line.

But it may not be the case when you go abroad.

The mountains are high and the roads are long. If something really happens, they can't help even if they want to in the country.

Thinking of these things, Fu Jingyou couldn't control his anxiety.

Lu Miao leaned close to his arms, trying to comfort him and calm his emotions as much as possible:
"In fact, I'll only be gone for two or three months. The embassy and consulate are equivalent to our country's bases abroad, and we have our own security comrades there. And for exhibitions like this, there will be special cars for entry and exit... It really won't be a problem, Brother You~"

She nudged him and whispered coquettishly.

"Ah."

After a brief silence, Fu Jingyou responded in a deep voice again.

He gently rubbed her shoulders with his rough hands. Although he still had concerns, he didn't say anything else.
"Go to sleep first. Don't you have work to deal with tomorrow?"

Lu Miao knew that he was giving in, so he leaned closer to him and promised in a deep voice:

"Brother You, I will definitely go early and come back early."

"it is good."

……

The stars move and the moonlight quietly slips away.

The next day, Lu Miao reviewed and approved several factory documents that were piled up in his hands.

If you feel there is still room for recovery, we can communicate by phone and put forward suggestions on the direction of reform.

If it were in the past, when she was not so busy, she could go and take a look in person.

The situation is different now, and it depends on the factories themselves to adapt to the situation.

Moreover, a few days later, after receiving the work assignment letter, Lu Miao took it along with other documents to the US Embassy in China.

I had a copy of the invitation letter for the exchange meeting in hand, and the process of submitting the materials went smoothly.

After learning about her identity and work situation, the relevant embassy staff were quite polite and said that the results would be out within two weeks at the earliest.

Ask her to leave her work phone number so that we can contact her when the time comes, so she doesn't have to run over to ask every now and then.

Lu Miao nodded, thanked him, and left.

While waiting for the documents to be issued, her main task was to prepare for the exhibition.

For example, what clothes to wear at the meeting and the manuscripts to be used for the speech.

Therefore, she has been spending more time working from home and in front of the tailor these days.

It was also at this time that Lu Miao called Mei Zi over and took the opportunity to teach her about the acid-base properties of Mei Zi and the principles of lipstick color matching:
“It is not easy to create a good-looking color, so you must be patient during the process. The color powder can be added in small amounts and multiple times.”

"Okay, I'll remember it, sister-in-law."

"Yes. Lipsticks made from cochineal are all classified as the Rose Series, and other natural color powders are classified as the Rose Series. The materials have corresponding prices, and the supply prices of these two series are different, so you must carefully distinguish them when making them, and don't mix them up... In addition, I will be away on this business trip for about two months. During this period, the factory, store, and greenhouse in the suburbs will all be handed over to you and Xiangdong. Now that it is summer, cacti and cochineal can survive outdoors, which does not conflict with building a greenhouse, and both sides can be carried out at the same time."

Mei Zi responded, "Okay." Lu Miao nodded slightly, rubbing his fingertips in thought.

Afraid that if he said too much at once, Mei Zi would not be able to remember, he took out a few pages of paper and wrote as he spoke:
"Although cacti grow fast, the new batch planted in the suburbs will need to wait a while before the seeds can be put on. In case I'm not around by then, I'll write down for you how to propagate and process them."

Lu Miao trusted Mei Zi, so he didn't hide anything. As he scratched the pen, he said frankly:

"This is considered a trade secret. It will probably be our trump card for a long time to come, so these things can only be seen by our own people and should be avoided in front of outsiders."

When Mei Zi heard this, she immediately sat up and nodded:

"it is good!"

Lu Miao nodded.

Taking advantage of this free time, she took Mei Zi to the handicraft room.

I used up the bag of cochineal pigment powder I had on hand.

Don’t underestimate a packet of pigment powder, which weighs only a few grams. A small graduated spoon can be used to neutralize and mix out a whole beaker of lipstick concentrate.

A beaker of lipstick concentrate can produce 40 to 42 lipsticks, taking into account the loss.

However, if you are making a dark-colored or dark-colored lipstick, the ratio of color to powder should be slightly higher.

After several days of hard work, Lu Miao and Mei Zi made more than 700 rose series lipsticks.

Regular natural pigment powder is easier to find, so the two deep red shades of the rose series lipsticks are produced in larger quantities, with more than 800 tubes of each.

In addition to the goods reserved for the Guangzhou branch, there is also enough to supply a batch to Cheng Yingjie.

Speaking of supplies, Lu Miao instructed Mei Zi:

"We won't suffer any loss in the contract we signed with them. Every quarter, when we supply them with 200 lipsticks for free, we will try to keep the two series the same. This is also a token of our sincerity."

"it is good."

Mei Zi nodded, and soon asked again:

"Sister-in-law, you gave it to the Guangzhou branch and Mr. Cheng, so how do you arrange the store in northern Beijing?"

Lu Miao pondered for a while and said:
"The price of lipstick is not low. It is difficult to make a name for yourself in Beijing North at the moment. You and Lin Xian can decide when the time comes. Just sell a few dozen lipsticks to show off your appearance."

Mei Zi thought about this and nodded slightly after hesitation.

Lu Miao was also thinking deeply.

After a long time, Lu Miao said:

"Beijing North is not a mainstream market, so there is no need to feel pressured about whether the products sell well or not. But the important thing is participation. We can put a few tubes of each color of lipstick in the store. If someone is interested, we can let them try them out for fun. This can also be considered a gimmick to boost popularity."

"it is good."

Mei Zi nodded seriously and took note of it.

……

As for Lu Miao's business trip, Fu Jingyou had a lot of concerns in his mind and had been very anxious.

But Lu Miao has been at home often recently, and Fu Jingyou can see her whenever he comes back. They can be together, and the anxiety in his heart has faded a lot without him realizing it.

But at the same time, time is slowly passing.

On July 2, when the children were about to start their summer vacation after their final exams, Lu Miao also told Fu Jingyou that his youngest son, Baichuan, would soon be turning four years old. (End of this chapter)
