Chapter 125 This is a pursuit problem
Fang Jianzhou was flattered and quickly said, "We have time, we'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, he told the two of them the good news.
Wei Xueping was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, while Qiao Manman frowned.
The three tidied themselves up and went to the Shanghai Machinery Factory.
In the office, John, no longer arrogant, stood up excitedly when he saw Qiao Manman: "Miss Angel, thank you for pulling me back from hell to earth!"
The doctor said, "If I had been just two minutes later, I would have been dead!"
Qiao Manman put on a sincere yet polite smile: "It's good that Mr. John is alright. You can call me Comrade Xiao Qiao!"
His fluent English left everyone stunned.
"Comrade Qiao can speak English too?" Director Xu asked jokingly, trying to probe Qiao Manman's background.
Qiao Manman remained calm: "Yes, the school teachers teach it. They teach not only English, but also Russian."
As Mr. Wei once said, "Learn from the barbarians' superior techniques to subdue them." Only by understanding their language and culture can we develop in all aspects and deliver a fatal blow to them at crucial moments.
Qiao Manman spoke this sentence in Mandarin.
The crisp sound strengthened the faith in many people's hearts.
John looked at the group curiously, wondering why they were silent.
Tugging at the translator's sleeve, the translator smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Qiao said that Comrade John represents the friendship between China and the United States, and it is her duty to save you!"
John smiled, partly because he genuinely liked this lovely little girl from the East.
On the other hand, they are also proud of their American identity and noble lineage.
John coughed lightly and started chatting with Factory Manager Xu about the recent order from Merry Company.
Because of Qiao Manman, the price has increased by 10%, and the delivery time has been extended by three months.
Although Director Xu was tempted, he still hesitated and did not agree.
The two sides went back and forth until 2 p.m. before finally finalizing the contract.
Mr. John offered a price 5% lower than expected, while Factory Manager Xu received an order 20% higher than expected.
Both parties are very satisfied.
In the evening, Director Xu invited Mr. John and the other members of the Merry delegation to dinner, and also invited Qiao Manman.
Qiao Manman comes from the future, and her vision is unmatched by people of this era.
More importantly, she lacked humility; her upright posture made Mr. John and his companions subconsciously regard her as one of their own.
"Joe, I think China is too backward. Why don't you come to the United States with us to develop?"
Qiao Manman chuckled and shook her head: "Mr. John, it took the United States two hundred years to develop to its current state."
Huaxia has only been established for a little over 20 years, yet it is already developing rapidly.
At this rate, Mr. John, how long do you think it will take us to catch up with the United States?
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of foreigners burst into laughter.
Qiao Manman calmly sipped her tea, waiting for them to finish laughing before explaining, "This is a pursuit problem..."
Qiao Manman used a math problem to inform the other party that the lion of China has awakened and that she will make the world hear the voice of the East as quickly as possible.
However, Westerners are generally not good at math. They only know that Qiao Manman explained a math problem, but they do not understand the deeper meaning.
Factory Director Xu and the translator, however, were quite impressed with Qiao Manman. They felt that this girl was wasting her talents in that remote corner of Yang County.
After dinner, Mr. John invited Qiao Manman to go shopping at the Friendship Store.
Qiao Manman really didn't want to get entangled with these foreigners, but thinking of the good stuff at the Friendship Store, she agreed.
The group returned to the guesthouse under the cover of night. As they lay down on the bed, Wei Xueping couldn't believe how capable Qiao Manman was.
They were absolutely crushed!
Qiao Manman only said, "It was all luck; we just happened to pull the person back!"
Thinking about it later, I was quite panicked. If I really couldn't save that person, I'm afraid I'd have to bear the responsibility myself.
Although the Space Mall has top-quality pills to back us up, we haven't even given any to our own compatriots yet, and we're already giving them to foreigners. They must be so happy!
Qiao Manman lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
I opened my eyes before dawn, then closed them again and used my consciousness to organize the space.
I always feel like the space is a bit full, and there are so many supplies that I can't possibly use them all.
Hehehe, this feels really good.
After digging sweet potatoes and cutting wheat for a while, Qiao Manman discovered that the strawberries were ripe. She picked the red berries and put them in her basket.
What else? The cherries are starting to change color. But they're still a ways from ripe.
Qiao Manman fed the fish and crabs, and then came out.
The sun had just risen, and the bright sunlight streamed through the glass, giving the entire room a golden hue.
Qiao Manman got up and washed up. Seeing that it was still early, she went out for a stroll.
After strolling around the small garden and having breakfast at the state-run restaurant, it was only a little past seven o'clock.
Fang Jianzhou and Wei Xueping wanted to discuss the OEM contract with Factory Director Xu, so they didn't come along.
Qiao Manman greeted the two of them and then went to wait at the entrance of the Friendship Store.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the translator brought John and the others in.
After the security guard at the gate checked their work permits, they were allowed to enter, and Qiao Manman stepped into this most special place of this era.
All that could be seen was a luxurious three-story building with a few dozen guests scattered around, some with blond hair and blue eyes, others with dark hands and feet.
The counter staff spoke fluent foreign languages, and customers came and went, pointing at the products on the counter, some admiring them, others expressing disdain.
John and his friends wanted to find some good stuff, so they went straight to the antique counter.
They look at the bottles and jars on the table and comment on them. They have no idea about the historical background behind them; they only know that these things are valuable.
Qiao Manman didn't want cultural relics to leave the country, but in this era, China needed US dollars, and both translators and salespeople were happy to make the deal.
Qiao Manman could only be part of the silent majority.
That evening, Qiao Manman slipped out of the guesthouse and, after many twists and turns, found the black market in Shanghai.
He sold a batch of premium grain, exchanged gold for 5,000 US dollars, and a remittance certificate.
The next day, Qiao Manman made an excuse that she had something to do and went their separate ways with Fang Jianzhou and Wei Xueping.
Disguised, he went to the Friendship Store and went on a shopping spree at the counter.
Imported biscuits and chocolates are just appetizers; the main attraction is the Ru kiln vases, ivory ornaments, and kingfisher feather headdresses.
Anything she set her sights on, she had the waiter wrap it up.
There were also pearl necklaces, white jade bracelets, jadeite depicting the auspicious symbols of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, as well as paintings of galloping horses and court ladies, all of which cost a considerable sum.
The whole trip cost over four thousand US dollars. Qiao Manman pulled out two receipts: "Please deliver these to room 203 of the Shanghai Hotel!"
She had booked the room in advance, using a fake ID she had bought on the black market.
The staff packed the items with utmost respect and delivered them to the Shanghai Hotel. The moment Qiao Manman closed the door, she stored the items in her spatial storage.
Then he swaggered off to a restaurant for a Western meal and took a nap on the soft bed.
She checked out in the evening with an empty suitcase, and the front desk staff didn't think much of it and processed her check-in.
As darkness fell, Qiao Manman found an alley and slipped inside. When she emerged, everything had returned to normal.
