It was just after one in the afternoon when Lu Jingqiu rode her bicycle, and Zhang Yang pushed his, to the factory at Wujiao Chemical. At the gate, Lu Jingqiu directly brought out two chicken eggs, which she had bought from Xue Jianian, for this very occasion.
"Uncle, my family is building a new house this year. We just filed with the Urban Construction Bureau this morning, and now we're here to buy some water pipes."
The gatekeeper, looking at the two eggs in his hand, quickly smiled and said, "Oh, you're here to buy the drainage and supply pipes, huh? Wait here, I'll call someone for you."
From what the gatekeeper said, it seemed that many who were building houses in the city came to the factory to place orders.
It wasn't long before the gatekeeper returned with a man in his thirties and said, "This young comrade, this is Director Li from our market sales department. Director Li is in charge of the household purchases in the city."
