Allow her to be pampered
Chapter 203
The arrival of autumn is much slower than the arrival of summer, but once there are several cold rains, the temperature will plummet and there will be no return.
Since malaria has been cured, although the refugee camps in the north of the city have begun to relax, it has become increasingly cold, and the cost of keeping warm for the victims has become a new problem.
In order to keep Bai Pingting out of prison, Master Bai worked hard and spent half of his life's financial resources. After that, he even guarded his daughter's future and took on the burden of resettling the victims.
Now it's cold and cold, and the victims have to wear cotton-padded clothes and quilts. One or two pieces of torn cotton batting are indeed not worth much, but if they add up, they will add up to a huge account.
What's more, after the vain death of the Shantang refugee, the turmoil has not subsided, the reputation of Lou Wai Lou Restaurant has plummeted, the business is not good, and it is almost in the red, which is really difficult to afford.
Master Bai was very worried, fearing that the family business of three generations would end here, so he could not rest at night.
Bai Pingting was born to be proud, but now that her family business is in shambles, she can't go well, so when she is chasing fame and fortune, she wants to use tricks again.
After all, the most indispensable thing in this vast world, apart from the untouchables, is the way to make money.
However, in recent days, many foreigners have gradually increased in Yue'an City.
Those blond-haired and blue-eyed people are quite rare, but among them, there are quite a few people of yellow race mixed in, called Dongying Japanese.
This kind of race is no different from the Chinese people, except that different facial hair crowns are popular. For example, men usually only have a small beard on the upper lip, which is a bit stingy.
Who would have thought that these black-haired and yellow-skinned foreigners are much richer than the Chinese.
The cash cow that Bai Pingting is eyeing is this line of Japanese military businessmen.
The Japanese have been in customs for a long time, but they have lived in the north for a long time and have never gone south. This time the world expo of all things is popular, and they come here along with the trend.
There are always a lot of very bad news about the Japanese, so the people avoid it, and their hearts are even more hostile.
Today, the family and country are in turmoil and the situation is tense. If anyone communicates with the Japanese, he will be accused of treason and be despised.
But Bai Pingting didn't care about it at all, she even threw a big banquet and entertained her warmly.
In this room, Bai Pingting smiled beautifully and was toasting a man.
She has studied abroad for several years and is proficient in many languages, so there is no generation gap with this man named Ueno Ichiro.
"Mr. Ueno, the heaven and earth are vast and rich, and this small Yue'an City alone can obtain countless gold and silver!"
Bai Pingting raised her eyebrows, her eyes were charming and seductive.
"You probably haven't heard of it. There is a leather carving craft in our city, which can carve flowers, birds and beauties on a thin piece of leather. It's very rare!"
After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and sent the wine waiter beside him to fetch the collection.
Bai Pingting has two leather scrolls. Although they are beautiful, they always become her humiliation.
Now, she must earnestly seek back her dignity.
Ueno Ichiro was fascinated by it, he just waited for the waiter to present the picture scroll and unfold it in detail, he immediately exclaimed.
"It's unbelievable! This is actually a painting made of leather!"
As soon as he tasted the reward, Ichiro Ueno was full of praise immediately, and fell into longing.
"If I can engrave the Great Wave off Kanagawa on the leather and dedicate it to the Emperor, then my family will definitely be favored!"
Today's Japan is militaristic politics, Ueno Ichiro blurted out that his family is close to him, so he probably has a military and political background.
Ueno Ichiro has a very high status, and the name of this mere businessman is probably just a cover.
Hearing these words, Bai Pingting smiled even deeper.
It would be best if this Ueno Ichiro was a spy dispatched by the Japanese army, as long as he has no background at all, it would be true!
The big gift she wants to give to that little wifey and Wu Qingzhi must be known to the world!
"Mr. Ueno, how about this, I will tell you the location of this leather carving workshop, so that it is easy to find!"
While talking, Bai Pingting called for a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a small note, and handed it directly to Ueno Ichiro.
"The entire Yue'an City, but only their family! Don't make a mistake!"
After speaking, he toasted another glass, smiling, and then turned the topic again.
"Mr. Ueno, I heard that you are purchasing cotton recently. How much is the purchase price?"
Suddenly, Ueno Ichiro's eyes sharpened immediately.
He stared at Bai Pingting vigilantly, looked up and down several times, and the two bodyguards on the left and right all tensed their arms.
However, looking around, she couldn't see any tricks, Bai Pingting just smiled, and she was too calm and composed.
"Miss Bai is a hero among women, but there are some things that you should not ask too much, so as not to cause trouble!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Bai Pingting laughed out loud.
"Mr. Ueno doesn't know something. There is a saying in our country that people make money and birds die for food. How terrible is that!"
Bai Pingting laughed, and only told the whole plan.
"My father is old and has a heavy responsibility. I think it is a waste to buy cotton to add clothes and blankets to the refugee camp. Why don't I buy some of these things to deal with it? Anyway, I won't freeze to death."
"I heard that Mr. Ueno has a lot of connections, why not cooperate with me! I will transfer the good cotton to you, and just make a small profit from it."
"Issuing invoices is a difficult task, and the cost of counterfeiting is too high! If Mr. Ueno helps me solve the trouble of issuing invoices, I can provide you with cheap and high-quality cotton. You and I are mutually beneficial. Why not?"
After Bai Pingting finished speaking, she saw Ueno Ichiro lowering his eyebrows, thoughtful.
However, in about a moment, she got the answer.
"Miss Bai is a smart person." Ichiro Ueno stretched out his hand and held Bai Pingting's. "I wish us a happy cooperation."
Bai Pingting smiled brightly.
In the early morning of the next day, Chi Rong was nibbling on a sugar bun and sticking it to Wu Qingzhi's side to read a newspaper.
Chi Rong loves sweets the most, but Wu Qingzhi is not a fan, but she eats sweets, which can easily arouse the appetite of others.
So, a good sugar bun, you took a bite of half of me, and it was eaten up immediately.
Chi Rong was greedy and couldn't eat enough, so she wanted to add another one to eat. Unexpectedly, at this time, the newspaper turned the page and saw a piece of news.
The Bai family has bought out all the cotton warehouses, and the cotton storage is in a hurry!
It actually won the applause of the media.
This is not surprising, the mouthpiece can be manipulated, and public opinion will follow, as if good and evil are fleeting, the person who died in vain is gone, and everyone has no memory.
Of course, no matter how exaggerated the news is, it probably won't be completely false. It can be seen that Bai Pingting really spent her money to buy cotton and donate it to the refugee camp.
Chi Rong gasped in surprise.
"She still manages the refugees. I'm afraid the sun is coming out in the west? Is it atonement or reform?"
