Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Extra Story 20

Jiang Cheng used his familiar artistic style to paint a highly alluring picture for Factory Director Yuan.

"So, Factory Director Yuan..."

Factory Director Yuan understood.

Jiang Cheng came to ask for money.

No, it’s to ask for donations.

He knew about the things happening at sea, and he had cursed at home for days; he’s a retired veteran.

"President Jiang, I’m in!"

"Factory Director Yuan, your righteousness is commendable!"

The two shook hands, with Factory Director Yuan modestly saying, "I’m not as good as you. You know about this and immediately think of taking action, while I only cursed a few times!"

"That’s not true!"

Jiang Cheng interrupted Factory Director Yuan’s modesty, saying, "Factory Director Yuan, if it weren’t for your deeply patriotic heart, my little tricks wouldn’t even be worth a glance to you."

"The only reason I succeeded in convincing you is because of your keen insight."

Jiang Cheng’s few words made Factory Director Yuan burst into hearty laughter, feeling quite delighted.

"President Jiang, talking to you is always such a pleasure."

"Is it? It’s been a while, I thought my skills had declined."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, stars admiring each other.

Afterward, Factory Director Yuan earnestly introduced Jiang Cheng to the factory directors he knew in Sea City, discussing personalities, likes, and backgrounds, all with the mindset of having paid, ensuring no one got left out. Factory Director Yuan spoke quite a bit.

After expressing gratitude, Jiang Cheng left with a wealth of information.

Following this, news of Jiang Cheng arriving in Sea City began to spread gradually.

However, the reason for her visit remained a mystery.

Of course, there were rumors that Jiang Cheng was there for a major sea project, but nobody knew the specifics.

Curious people called the factories Jiang Cheng visited, receiving nearly the same message.

Once Jiang Cheng visits, you’ll understand.

Between the lines, everyone needed to see Jiang Cheng in person, and the project was exceptionally good, a rare opportunity.

With everyone’s tacit agreement, Jiang Cheng successfully maneuvered from start to finish, smoothly seeking alms along the way.

On the day she left Sea City, no other city had gotten wind of the upcoming "targeted fat sheep"; instead, each waited in anticipation for Jiang Cheng’s arrival on their own turf.

After all, over the years, people seemed to have forgotten Jiang Cheng’s knack for successful persuasion and only remembered her prosperous nature of making money.

Everyone wanted to hitch a ride on her coattails, hoping to claim a share of the profits.

Whether genuine or feigned, with this mindset, Jiang Cheng’s journey of collecting funds went exceptionally smoothly.

Starting from Sea City, Jiang Cheng journeyed southward.

By the time she reached Yangcheng, the fundraising project was two-thirds complete.

Once she finished in Yangcheng, she planned to return to Beijing.

Upon arriving in Yangcheng, Jiang Cheng first checked into a hotel, planning to visit the factory directors for tea and chats the next day.

But having come so far, she still wanted to explore a bit.

That moment, she walked out of the hotel alone, planning to find a dim sum shop for some food.

Jiang Cheng wandered to a dim sum shop, ordered her favorite snacks and a pot of tea, waiting leisurely.

The people of Yangcheng naturally exuded a laid-back and leisurely demeanor. Here, there was no worry about attire; the weather was too hot for anything but sandals, T-shirts, and shorts, which were the standard.

"Jiang—Jiang Cheng? Right?"

A hesitant voice sounded, and Jiang Cheng looked up.

He Gong.

The same He Gong who initially rented out a courtyard house to Jiang Cheng.

He later volunteered for the Northwest, leading Jiang Cheng to suspect he might be from country R, and after reporting it, there had been no news of him.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t good at rote memorization in her studies, but she was excellent at remembering people.

But right now...
