Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 253 Is this helping Xizhu out?

   On the other side, in the mansion in Jing'an Villa District, Shanghai, Mrs. Li with a gloomy face gritted her teeth and hung up the phone, and smashed the cup beside her with a bang.

  The day before yesterday, when she heard that Gu Jia planned to raise money to buy the tea factory and asked her to give her a two-day grace period, she was quite proud. She didn't expect that Gu Jia saw through the trick yesterday and severely humiliated her.

  YouQi just told her from the accountant that a few strangers had indeed come to the tea factory in the past two days, saying they were tourists from Shanghai, and one of them happened to be named Gu Jia, which made her even more angry.

The rotten meat failed to sell at a good price, and the current tea factory is left in a mess. Not only is it at a serious deficit, but it is even involved in two lawsuits. Even if you want to force production, the official organic label has expired for more than a year , Just re-handling is a bunch of troublesome things.

   If it continues to drag on, the deficit will only get bigger and bigger, and the fine for the organic label will be a considerable sum.

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Li was resentful, but she could only cut her flesh and notify the legal affairs to go through the bankruptcy process.

Knowing that the big boss was going to shut down the tea factory and filed for bankruptcy with the government, Village Chief Yang panicked, and hurriedly went to the accountant to find out what happened. The accountant had already gone down the mountain when he saw that something was wrong. He managed to get through the phone, but he hesitated One question and three questions.

   Now the people in the village are in a hurry. Everyone can see the poor efficiency of the tea factory, but they didn't expect the big boss to leave so straightforwardly.

  Seeing that it is already autumn, the tea garden urgently needs quilts and straws to keep the tea trees warm and defrost. Even if Village Chief Yang took out the 20,000 yuan that Zhou Ji gave him, it was a drop in the bucket, far from enough.

  The icing on the cake is not as good as the timely delivery of charcoal. Under Zhou Ji's instruction, Gu Jia took the opportunity to chat with Village Chief Yang about the tea factory.

The big boss has been ignoring the tea factory for several years. Now that Gu Jia has ideas about the tea factory, Village Chief Yang seems to have grasped at straws, and with red eyes choked up, he said: "This factory can't be closed, the workers We all have to rely on it to support our family. We have grown tea and made tea since our ancestors, I can guarantee it! I can swear! The tea here is all good tea! Boss Gu, Boss Zhou, on behalf of the 100 people in our village Many people thank you, thank you."

Gu Jia looked at the tears shining in the eyes of Village Chief Yang, and was touched by it in her heart, and said with emotion: "I can indeed take down the tea factory, but after Mrs. Li announces the bankruptcy of the tea factory, I will take it from the official hands." , I also hope that Village Chief Yang will keep this secret and don’t tell other people, let alone your original big boss.”

Village Chief Yang nodded repeatedly, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhou Ji, who was singing a bad face next to him, "Ugly words come first, the tea factory is dispensable to us, if this matter leaks out, we will greatly You can walk away, and you can continue to guard this tea mountain soon, waiting for the big boss to show his kindness."

Village Chief Yang's face changed slightly, and he vaguely guessed that Zhou Ji's trip was probably for the tea factory, but in the face of the current situation, he could only express his position again and again, and would never let Boss Gu have any thoughts about the tea factory. Tell Mrs. Li about it.

Zhong Xiaoqin's five-day annual leave seemed to be over, and Chen Yu also received a notice from the TV station to return to work. The old man who took him.

  The two were in a hurry to leave, and Xizhu could only keep up. After all, with Zhong Xiaoqin's current physical condition, if she traveled long distances without Zhou Ji or her company, the fetus in her womb might be in danger again.

The mighty group of five turned into four in a blink of an eye. Gu Jia originally wanted to stay and get in touch with every link of the tea factory, but considering that it might arouse Mrs. Li's suspicion, she left the village chief in the name of Zhong Xiaoqin. He paid 80,000 yuan, took the IOU and the agreement, and boarded the caravan for the return journey.

  In the back cabin of the RV, Gu Jia looked at the mountain village drifting away amidst the clouds and mist, with mixed feelings in her heart.

  The fireworks company itself is a firecracker that explodes at one point. It dances on the tip of the knife every day. Once an accident occurs, it will be devastated.

  She originally thought that she could open up a new source of income for her small family through the tea factory business.

  At least after the fireworks company's accident, the family still has a chance to turn around. Who would have thought that this would be a trap! As much as the expectation is, there will be as much disappointment. By looking at the specific accounts of the tea factory, Gu Jia is very clear about the situation of the tea factory. Even if it is taken over from the government at a low price after bankruptcy, according to the current state of the tea factory, if If you want to turn losses into profits, the initial investment is definitely essential.

  One million is definitely not enough, and three million is a good base.

  Although Gu Jia has never been in the tea business, she also knows that rebuilding a marketing channel will definitely cost a lot.

   Both publicity and promotion and distribution channels must be prepared. It is impossible for distributors from all over the world to flock to them with a wave of their sleeves, scrambling to sell their empty camellias.

  Even if she didn’t set up such a large stall at the beginning and wanted to do direct sales from the Shanghai and Shanghai market first, she still needs to go to the market with 24 million people to understand the basic situation of the industry.

   These things can only be done by yourself, it is by no means as simple as having the goods in hand and spreading them out while lying down.

   Uh. Maybe lying down can really distribute goods, but this kind of distribution Gu Jia would rather give up taking over the tea factory than do it!

  This is just about the market. Regarding tea factories, summer tea is already out of season, and autumn tea will also enter the market.

  Although summer tea and autumn tea are not as good as spring tea, the tea garden cannot be abandoned.

  Wages of workers cannot be stopped during the period, right?

  There are also tea tree heat preservation in winter, and various preparations for the spring of next year, as well as two lawsuits involving previous distributors, and the organic production qualification that has expired for more than a year.

   It was only when Gu Jia decided to take over the tea factory that she felt at a loss and in a mess.

Seeing Gu Jia's distressed look, Zhou Ji smiled and said, "The tea factory is not as complicated as you think. Most of the difficulties in the world stem from insufficient funds. Since you were able to help poor Xu Huanshan It is no problem to open a fireworks company to the scale it is now, and a tea factory is no problem."

   "That's right, Jiajia, I believe you can do it!" Zhong Xiaoqin made a gesture of encouragement, and said to Xi Zhunu, the co-pilot, "Isn't it, Xiao Xizhu~"

   "Hmph~" Xizhu gave Zhong Xiaoqin a blank look, and then looked at Gu Jiadao, "Compared with this, you should think about the wife circle you mentioned until now. Do you still have fantasies about them?"

  Gu Jia was originally encouraged by Zhong Xiaoqin and Zhou Ji, and felt a little relieved in her heart, but when she heard Xizhu's words, the corners of her mouth that had just risen collapsed again.

   Mrs. Li’s use of the tea factory to cheat her is minor. What worries her more is that at the tea session that day, when Mrs. Li mentioned the tea factory to design her, the other wives present seemed to be acting as trustees, intentionally or not?

  Even Mrs. Wang, who hooked up with her on the top floor, and Mrs. Zhang, who helped her get orders from the playground, watched the whole show and never reminded her.

   From this point of view, it seems that she has been united by the wives circle to deal with her.

   This is the most unbelievable point for her.

"In your eyes, these ladies with their husband's surname only look glamorous, but they are actually full of idiots. They usually only know how to show off their wealth and compare each other. But you have never thought about it, the so-called wife circle, wife circle , What exactly is their circle?"

Xizhu put down the armchair, stood on the co-pilot with a small body, looked down at Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin in the back cabin, hugged his shoulders like little adults, and raised his eyebrows, "The theme of the real wife circle is never about showing off and For comparison, the real wives' circle exists for exchanging information and expanding the social circle for themselves, husbands or families.

  Even though they look down on and dislike each other, they still hold regular tea parties. Are these tea parties really for themselves? Have you ever thought about this question as a self-proclaimed independent thinker? "

  The powerful aura, towering aura, and glamorous and arrogant temperament immediately calmed down Gu Jia.

  Zhou Ji took advantage of the opportunity to unscrew the speaker, and the relaxed and joyful "catch the loach" sounded immediately, the corner of Xizhu's mouth twitched, and he glanced sideways at Zhou Ji, "Wrong, wrong." '

  Zhou Ji quickly cut to the magnificent and deep background music, and Zhong Xiaoqin, who was stunned by Xizhu, was dazed and clapped.

Being taught a lesson by a child, even if Gu Jia thought about what Xizhu said, there was some truth to it, but after she was shocked, she still wanted to laugh more, looked at Xiao Xizhu, and said helplessly: "Little Xizhu, in the future, you should talk less Auntie Xiaoqin, watch those gossip dramas involving wealthy families."

  I don't watch those mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas! !

  Xizhu showed a sullen face, snorted coldly, pulled up the backrest and sat down.

  Zhou Ji reached out and patted the back of Xizhu's hand, and looked at Gu Jiadao through the rearview mirror, "What she said is true."

"Gu Jia, you underestimate these people too much." Zhou Ji smiled disdainfully, and his tone became a bit tougher, "They form a circle because they can reciprocate and benefit each other, so as to stabilize their own class and wealth, but what about you? ? Are there any tangible benefits for them?

  Do you think you can make them agree with you by helping one or two of them show off? You have misunderstood the nature of the wife circle. A fringe person like you is nothing more than a clown in their eyes. When you are in a good mood, you can leak a little food from your fingers. If you are in a bad mood, you can be kicked out at any time!

   One Gu Jia was missing, and Li Jia, Wang Jia, Zhao Jia, and Qian Jia lined up to squeeze in! "

"You!" Gu Jia's face suddenly turned pale and pale. She didn't expect Zhou Ji, who has always been gentle and kind, to suddenly say such hurtful words. The almost reprimanding tone revealed the last confusion in Gu Jia's heart, and she looked at Zhou Ji aggrievedly. Ji Ji, didn't understand why he chose such ugly words to reprimand her.

  Zhong Xiaoqin comforted Gu Jia in a low voice, and glanced at the two drivers and co-pilots from time to time, her eyes were puzzled and slightly weird.

  She has been in contact with Zhou Ji several times, and she can see that Zhou Ji is extraordinarily kind to others. It seems that she has never said a serious word these days.

   Now, is this helping Xiao Xizhu out?

  Xizhu turned her head to look at Zhou Ji. Although she didn't speak, the slightly raised corners of her mouth and approving eyes still showed her mood at the moment.

   During the rest of the journey, Gu Jia became extremely silent. She was digesting what Zhou Ji said, and her original fantasy about the wife circle was slowly shattered.

   Giving up on squeezing into the wives' circle, Gu Jia's heart relaxed a lot.

  The circles are different, so they cannot be hard-wired.

  But people in the circle can still make targeted contacts.

  Especially Mrs. Zhang, who holds a three-dollar amusement park license at home, is indeed a sustainable contact for their family's fireworks company.

  As for Mrs. Wang Gu Jia on the top floor, she also understood that this time Mrs. Li cheated on her was actually a beating by Mrs. Wang.

  Knocking her every tea party will show a little limelight and then squeeze into the group photo, moving closer to the center, so Mrs. Wang will still watch the show knowing that there is a pit, waiting for Gu Jia to jump in.

   For such a person, it is enough not to commit evil.

  Back to Shanghai, Zhou Ji sent Xizhu to Huihuijia, and happened to run into Xu Huanshan who was at home.

   Seeing Gu Jia come back, a slight panic flashed across Xu Huanshan's face, he swiped his phone a few times, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

   "This is Mr. Zhou Ji, right? I often hear Gu Jia and Xiaoqin mention you, and now we have met. Come and sit in the room for a while and drink some water?"

   Regarding those words on Zhouji Road, although they were a bit serious, Gu Jia no longer cared so much.

   After all, they are all adults, who is right and who is wrong, and the interest disputes are actually very clear, so they agreed with each other and invited Zhou Ji to come in and sit down.

After receiving the tea from Gu Jia, Zhou Ji knew that the couple still had a lot to say, so he didn't sit for a long time, and chatted with Xu Huanshan briefly, and made an appointment to have dinner together another day, then hurriedly After leaving, he took Xizhu up the seventeenth floor and went back to his home.

Entering the house, there was the crisp sound of familiar high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor behind him, and a faint fragrance wafted from behind. Zhou Ji opened the window, and a strong wind from the upper floors came in, blowing Si Teng's long hair, swinging her lightly Yarn drape.

   "Don't wear high heels when you enter the house?"

  Zhou Ji looked back at Si Teng, pouted at her and said, "There are slippers I prepared for you in the shoe cabinet. You can wear them at home. If you don't like the color, we'll go out and buy new ones later."

  Si Teng looked down along Zhou Ji's line of sight, and looked at the slender feet that were exposed along the bottom of the cheongsam. They were thicker than snow, as thin as fat, and a few cardamoms on the toes were playfully lifted up.

   This time, she didn't take half a step back, but her eyes were as clear as water, full of smiles: "What? Don't you like it?"

  Zhou Ji coughed lightly, looked away, and rolled his eyes at Si Teng by the way, "Why don't you like it? I control my face, control my chest, control my hands, control my feet and control my waist. As long as it's you, I control everything."

   "Hmph~ superficial."

Si Teng rolled his eyes, his expression seemed disgusted, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turned up, he turned around, went back to the door honestly, and changed into a pair of slippers, picking up the same style as Zhou Ji's couple slippers, but with a pink color, complaining. :

"Perfunctory…"
