Chapter 477 Improperly taken advantage of

  No one thought that Gu Qingning's parents knew foreign friends, and they seemed to have a good relationship?

   This is the first time for most parents to go abroad and they are quite unfamiliar with foreign countries. The foreign relations of Gu Qingning's parents are suddenly highlighted—

   This made the parents who also brought their children to participate in the competition a little more scrutiny on the Gu family couple.

  Lanshu and Xiaobai don't care what other people think of them.

  At noon, under the warm invitation of Mark, the two had dinner with their daughter in a nearby high-end restaurant.

  As for the three Lan Dazhuang who came abroad with Lan Shu's family of three, Mark met Lan Dazhuang more than ten years ago and knew that Lan Dazhuang was Lan Shu's elder brother.

   Originally, he also invited Lan Dazhuang and his wife to have dinner with their son, but they were too embarrassed to go.

  Other people’s politeness is still a sincere invitation, and Lan Dazhuang can still tell that the younger sister’s friends are mainly to invite the younger sister and brother-in-law to get together, so there is no need for him to follow.

  Beside Lan Shu, Xiao Qingning knew for the first time that her parents had foreign friends. For this foreign uncle, the children were very curious.

   And knowing that Lan Shu and Xiao Bai came to Europe this time to take their children to participate in the piano competition, Mark expressed great praise to Xiao Qingning!

   "Xiao Qingning is really amazing! She is indeed Lan Shu's daughter!"

  Mark almost trusted Lan Shu's ability blindly!

  In his eyes, Lan Shu is very powerful, especially in business, she can be said to be omnipotent.

  So Lan Shu's daughter should naturally be excellent.

   When it came to doing business, Mark suddenly became energetic, "Lan Shu, I have already said that with your ability, you should develop abroad and make a lot of money internationally."

  Mark still didn't give up the idea of ​​inviting Lan Shu to do business abroad.

  He felt that a business genius like Lan Shu should develop on a bigger stage!

  Hearing Mark's invitation, Lan Shu was not completely out of ideas.

  When her garment factory opened a branch in Shencheng two years ago, she planned to export jeans abroad, but because there was no external relationship channel, the business of exporting clothing was delayed.

   This time when she came abroad, Lan Shu came to accompany her daughter in the competition, but if there is a business opportunity, of course it can be icing on the cake.

  So Lan Shu asked Mark if he had any contacts in the clothing industry.

  Mark is the small leader of the machine factory. The sales of all kinds of machines in the factory have to go through him. Therefore, for some foreign companies and manufacturers that purchase sewing machines, Mark certainly has contact information.

   It's just that if you want to invite those people, you must use favors.

  Because it was Lan Shu who asked him for help, Mark was willing to use his relationship for Lan Shu.

  He immediately agreed, "No problem, leave it to me, Lan Shu, I'll make arrangements for you to meet the other party."

   Lan Shu is very grateful for Mark's help.

   And her gratitude is more than just words.

  After the clothing export business is negotiated, she should say that she will prepare.

  Everyone had a very happy meal at noon.

   And Xiao Qingning is also the first time to see her mother can talk to foreigners like this, confident and dazzling.

  During this process, Xiao Qingning's eyes were attracted by her mother's every move, every word and every action.

  She used to only know that her mother started a company, but now, Xiao Qingning finds that her mother is far more powerful than she imagined!

   This made her take her mother as an example even more. As a mother's daughter, she hopes that she can become better and make her mother proud of herself!

  After lunch, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai separated from Mark, going back to the hotel to rest.

  The piano competition starts tomorrow, and in the morning is the competition for the children's group, so the children participating today must have a good rest, so that they can show their best state by then.

  Backing back to the hotel, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were about to take their daughter back to the room, but in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, they ran into someone from the domestic competition party who took the children to compete abroad this time.

   "Gu Qingning's parents, can we have a chat?" The person who came was a woman in her thirties, slightly fat, wearing glasses, she looked plain on the outside, but her eyes were shining brightly.

  When she came, she talked directly to Xiao Bai, leaving Lan Shu aside the whole time.

  Because in her opinion, a man is the head of the family, and a man's words are more useful than a woman's.

  Even though she is a woman herself, deep in her heart she feels that men are better than women.

  Xiaobai recognized the other party's identity, and regarding the purpose of the person in front of him, he asked casually, "What's the matter?"

  The woman immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am the team leader of the youth group of our competition. I saw you communicating with foreigners at the entrance of the hotel before. You must be familiar with them?"

   "It's like this. This is the first time we've gone abroad to compete on behalf of our country. After the competition, we still have plenty of time. We can visit for a day."

"If the children can understand the situation abroad and broaden their horizons, then this trip will be worthwhile, but because we are not familiar with the place, I hope Mr. Gu can contact your friends abroad and find a guide for us. "

   This kind of request is actually nothing more than helping to find a guide. Even if Xiaobai doesn't ask Mark for help, he can just spend some money and hire someone.

  So he nodded and agreed, "Yes."

  Hearing his answer, the woman was very happy, so she asked again, "Mr. Gu, we can't go to places that are too expensive because of limited funds..."

   "Then find a park nearby." Lan Shu took the conversation.

   Traveling abroad requires money everywhere. Car rides here are more expensive than in China, and tickets to various attractions are not cheap, so it is impossible to travel around without spending money.

"But just wandering around, it's really a waste of this opportunity for the children to go abroad! Mr. Gu, can you think of other ways?" The middle-aged woman said, and then her eyes fell on On Gu Qingning's father.

  There was an obvious hint in that look and tone, and they almost said that they had no money, but wanted to go to a good scenic spot, and asked the parents of the children to pay for it.

   Presumably, she had inquired about their identities before she said these words.

   Knowing that Gu Qingning's parents are rich, they are not short of money at all.

   But such a request sounds ridiculous to Lan Shu.

  She and Xiaobai are willing to help find a guide, even if it costs money, but it is impossible to bear the travel expenses of everyone in the competition group.

   It's not that she is stingy, but why?

  She doesn't know anyone else in the competition team, so she has no reason to spend money for others.

  The woman in front of her can tell that the funds are limited, and she has to ask them to find someone to take everyone out for fun. It is no longer necessary to explain where the expenses come from.

  They are not short of money, but they cannot be taken advantage of.
