Chapter 1219

Tan You noticed him because he was the first foreigner to arrive at the booth, and he listened quietly while Xiao Hu and the others were introducing the booth.

After glancing at the watch on his wrist and then at his clothes, Tan You knew that this man... was not short of money.

Tan You smiled slightly and stepped forward to chat with the other person. The other person seemed surprised that Tan You spoke in English, as he didn't know that there were very few people who could speak English.

Tan You remained remarkably calm. "Mr. Louis, our product perfectly meets the needs of travelers. As long as there is hot water, even in the most remote and desolate places, one can enjoy the warmth of home."

"Our ingredients are completely natural and pollution-free..."

Professor Wang listened to Tan You's explanation and thought to himself, "This Team Leader Qiao is really good at conning people. The milk tea doesn't even use milk powder, it uses creamer, and that makes it all-natural and pollution-free?"
But judging from the foreigner's expression, it seemed like the other person actually believed it?
Professor Wang watched as Tan You closed the first takeout order since the start of the program. When it came to the price, Tan You immediately said, "One cup of instant noodles is one yuan, and the bagged noodles are half price. One box of instant noodles contains 12 cups, and the bagged noodles contain 24 packs."

Louis did the math and felt the price wasn't expensive. But he wanted to haggle further, but Tan You insisted, "This is our cost price; any lower and we'll lose money."

"But if you need a large quantity, how about this: for every 10 boxes or more, we can give you a discount of one percent."

Louis shook his head: "One point is too few, at least two points."

After a brief exchange, Tan You casually reached behind her and pulled over Director Hong, who had come with her: "This is our factory director. He'll give you the approval slip."

Factory Director Hong didn't understand what they were saying, but he was stunned when he saw the quantity of 20,000 boxes on the order. His hands trembled as he stamped the form, and for the next day, he became a stamping machine.

Countless orders poured in, and a rough calculation showed that orders for milk tea and instant noodles were almost equal.

Factory Director Hong couldn't sit still any longer. He made a phone call to the factory as soon as he left the meeting. He demanded people be found, three shifts needed, and that the machines run non-stop—all these goods had to be shipped out!
The Canton Fair lasted for three days, and by the end, almost everyone except Tan You was exhausted. Later, without anyone needing to introduce them, everyone knew that two unusual items had appeared at this year's Canton Fair: instant noodles and milk tea.

Even though Factory Director Hong was so exhausted he could barely walk, his spirits were as high as if he'd drunk five cans of Red Bull. He pounded his chest like a giant baboon: "When we get back, I'll lead the way into the workshop! We absolutely must deliver on time!"

"Our Red Star Factory has really done something this time!"

Tan You leaned against the car window, thinking to herself that this time the reputation had been established, but the factory couldn't rest on its laurels. She had to go back and continue to develop new products, like some snail rice noodles.
Or maybe instant noodles? She knows of all the different kinds of instant noodles available. If all else fails, self-heating rice or self-heating hot pot? But would those be widely available overseas?
Putting all those years behind her, Tan You hugged Guo Wenting and closed her eyes for a nap. Seeing that Tan You was asleep, Director Hong also lowered his voice; they had now returned in triumph.

The biggest contributor to this is Tan You.

She made the instant noodles and milk tea, she suggested coming to the Canton Fair, and she signed the first foreign exchange order. Speaking of which, what reward should the factory give Tan You this time?
We must not discourage the heroes who have made great contributions.

Tan You still muttered about how much importance the country placed on foreign exchange in this era. She felt that she only had two million yuan in foreign exchange this time, at most. But at that time, the RMB was strong, with an exchange rate of around 1.5.

How could the officials at all levels in Qilin City not be excited that a food factory earned so much foreign exchange in just three days?
Upon seeing the leaders waiting outside the bus station, Tan You pulled Guo Wenting along and slowly moved to the back. Tan You felt a chill run down her spine, especially when she saw the large red flower in the hand of a young man. Factory Director Hong had been discussing the factory's plans with Tan You, but suddenly realized she was gone. Then he felt as if someone had pushed him, and he was thrust in front of various levels of leaders.

The leader took the big red flower from the young man's hand and put it on Director Hong's head. Director Hong was not embarrassed or ashamed at all; on the contrary, he smiled very happily.

At this time, people value honor more than anything else, so they wouldn't talk about money all the time.

Didn't you see how Guo Wenting, such a small girl, was looking at the big red flower on Director Hong's chest with such envy? Only Tan You thought that big red flower was too exaggerated.

"Everyone here is a hero of Qilin City. Wuxing Food Factory's performance at the Canton Fair this time was outstanding..."

The leaders started talking non-stop, but Tan You ignored them completely. After finally getting through the process, she didn't have time to report to the factory. She took Guo Wenting straight to the food factory's residential compound.

Although she bought a sleeper berth on the way back, how could she possibly sleep well on the crowded and noisy train? Especially during the few days of the Canton Fair, she also spent a lot of energy.

So, when I get home, the first thing I do is go to sleep.

Guo Wenting was alright; after waking up, she went to her neighbor's house for dinner. Ever since Tan You's career took off, Guo Wenting had become the most popular child among the elders in the compound.

She didn't even need to leave the house; someone came to invite her over for dinner. Everyone knew Tan You was exhausted from her business trip, so it was important for her to rest. After all, she's just a kid; it's not a difficult thing for everyone to lend a hand.

Tan You slept until the afternoon of the next day. Several women in the residential compound were worried and came to check on her several times. They were only relieved to find that Tan You was just too tired to sleep.

"What time is it?" When Tan You opened her eyes again, it was already dusk. She remembered that she had gone to sleep after returning home at noon yesterday. It was already evening?

The aunt next door pushed the door open and came in: "You came back yesterday, you've been sleeping for a whole day and night. I made dinner, hurry up and get up and have a bite?"

Tan You suddenly realized, "I slept for so long? No wonder I felt weak. Thank you, Auntie. Wen Ting has been well taken care of these past two days."

"What's the big deal?" The aunt quickly brought over the food. "You've made such a big contribution to the factory, so it's only right that everyone helps take care of your child. The factory has already started recruiting, and my little grandson has passed the exam this time."

Tan You chuckled. Finding a job these days wasn't easy; everyone had a specific opening. Was she trying to create more jobs for the food factory?
“That’s right! In our residential compound, which family doesn’t have a baby?” the auntie called out. A lean young man came over with a washbasin: “Team Leader Qiao, please wash your face first.”

Tan You stepped aside and said, "No need, I can do it myself."
