Tong Jiayi had already come to them and greeted them formally: "Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon to you too." Cao Huifang said.
She and Deng Miaoshan had been making videos during this time. They were a little tired today, so they made an appointment to go out for a meal. Unexpectedly, they would meet Tong Jiayi here.
Tong Jiayi is not good at talking, but it does not mean that he is stupid: "You are out to eat, right? I just came here to find something delicious, do you know this place? Why not find a delicious restaurant, I will treat you today
Have a meal."
"Hey, no, no, last time you helped record the video, I said I wanted to treat you to dinner, so why not just treat you to dinner today." Cao Huifang said politely.
After she finished speaking, she looked back and didn't see Fu Xianghui, so she asked him, "Where is your other colleague?"
"The old man you are talking about, he bought a house in Quancheng, and he returned there."
"I bought a house here, so I can come back to hide out for a few days to relax." Tong Jiayi felt that there was nothing he couldn't say about this.
Deng Miaoshan, who was standing next to her, watched the two of them chatting, but she didn't have the "annoying" look in her eyes that her good sister had previously commented on Tong Jiayi. Her eyes were very strange.
I was thinking to myself, what is going on? Why does something look wrong?
Is it possible that one cooperation in filming a video changed her mind about being a good sister?
Deng Miaoshan was still thinking about this serious three-dimensional problem, but Cao Huifang had already called her: "Miaoshan, let's go, let's find another place to eat. I'm treating you today."
"When you first came out, you talked about the AA system. You are so generous now." Deng Miaoshan complained in her heart.
But Tong Jiayi, who was following behind, said, "No, you can find a place and I'll treat you."
He also specifically emphasized: "It just so happens that I usually don't have much to spend money on, so give me a chance today."
Hearing what Tong Jiayi said, Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan were very surprised. They stood still and turned to look at him. Cao Huifang asked: "Isn't your income very high? Do you have nothing to spend money on?"
Tong Jiayi nodded: "Yes, I spend most of the month working on the project. I usually live in the factory and rarely come back."
"I'll just take these few days off to buy clothes and some household items, and then go out for a few meals, and the rest will be gone," Tong Jiayi said.
Cao Huifang knew that he didn't have a partner, but Deng Miaoshan didn't know. She was very curious: "How much do you pay per month? Do you have no partner yet?"
Tong Jiayi: "..."
What should he say? A grown man who has passed the 30-year-old threshold and has such a high income is still single. Who would believe it?
He thought for a while and said very honestly: "I don't earn as much as Lao Fu, less than 100,000 a month, but I am younger than him and can still earn more in the future."
This time it was Deng Miaoshan who stared at Tong Jiayi with incredibly big eyes, looking at Tong Jiayi seriously to make sure he was not joking.
"If it's less than 100,000 a month, how many tens of thousands is it?"
She said: "I used to work here in Yiling City, and my monthly salary was more than 2,000 yuan, which is less than 100,000 yuan."
"Haha!" Tong Jiayi laughed.
But he didn't go into details anymore, as some things just hit the mark.
Cao Huifang found a restaurant. From the outside, the door and walls showed traces of time. There was a wooden plaque hanging at the door, which said "Shangyuan".
"This restaurant is for home cooking. I have been working here for almost 20 years. The taste is very authentic. I don't know if there are any seats left." Cao Huifang introduced it while walking inside.
Seeing 4 people queuing up inside, she breathed a sigh of relief: "There aren't many people queuing up, let's eat here today."
After finishing speaking, she walked to the back of the queue and joined the queue.
After Tong Jiayi saw it, he said: "You two go sit on the chairs next to you for a while, and I will take the queue."
There are two rows of seats for guests waiting to dine, and two long tables with cut fruits, dried fruits and candies on them.
From this point of view, this hotel is very attentive to details.
Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan walked to the side and sat down. Deng Miaoshan stared at Cao Huifang, making her feel a little scared. Then she said: "Miaoshan, what are you doing? What are you looking at?"
"Why are you still asking me, Fangfang, tell me what's going on with you?" Deng Miaoshan asked after her.
This question puzzled Cao Huifang: "Is there something wrong with me?"
"There's so much wrong with you. Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you?" Deng Miaoshan said with wide eyes.
Cao Huifang asked her: "What's going on with me? Miaoshan, don't be so nervous. I'm normal."
Okay, Deng Miaoshan won’t ask anymore.
There weren't many people queuing up, and people were eating quickly. It didn't take long for Tong Jiayi to get a seat in line.
As soon as the three of them sat down, the waiter came over with a menu.
After Tong Jiayi took the menu, he handed it to Cao Huifang naturally and asked them what they wanted to eat.
"You can do whatever you want, but don't save me any money." Tong Jiayi said.
When Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan heard what he said, they couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, they felt that Tong Jiayi was quite interesting, and he looked quite real.
Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan have eaten here more than once. They looked at the "our signature dishes", "our specialties" and "popular dishes" specially marked on the menu, and they ordered accordingly.
Each person ordered two dishes.
After all, it was the first time they sat together for dinner with Tong Jiayi, so they were still a little embarrassed.
But when Tong Jiayi saw how he could eat so little, he felt that he couldn't even eat enough. He consulted the waiter next to him and asked her which dishes were the most distinctive. Seeing that Cao Huifang had already ordered one of them, he simply ordered the other dishes.
All clicked.
"I can't eat it. I ordered so many dishes and it's all wasted if I can't finish them all." Cao Huifang said quickly.
She also asked the waiter to cross out two more dishes and explained to Tong Jiayi: "The dishes in this restaurant are very affordable and the portions are large."
"It's okay. If I can't eat it, I'll pack it up and take it home to eat." Tong Jiayi said it naturally, without feeling embarrassed at all.
This made Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan have a heightened sense of him.
Many 'rich people' don't bother to do this for whatever reason.
Deng Miaoshan also said: "You earn so much money, you are quite frugal."
"These are two different things. Our boss earns more, but when I eat with him, I have never seen him waste it." Tong Jiayi said specifically.
Deng Miaoshan subconsciously looked at her good sister Cao Huifang next to her. Tong Jiayi was right. Deng Miaoshan had also been to Caojiazhuang and had dinner with Cao Shujie. She didn't see the other party waste either.
After a while, the dishes were served, and the portions of each dish were indeed quite large.
None of the three of them drank alcohol, so they drank fruit juice and ate it.
Later, the three of them ordered a bowl of rice each, but I have to say that Tong Jiayi was really good at eating it, and he was not embarrassed to eat it just because there were two women at the same table. He still ate whatever he wanted.
Not pretending to be elegant.
Seeing him like this, Cao Huifang felt that it was very good and not artificial.
Deng Miaoshan also thought it was okay, but through the exchange just now, she also saw that the other party seemed to be not good at talking and spoke very straightforwardly.
When the meal was almost finished, Tong Jiayi rushed to pay the bill first, and Cao Huifang said that it was her treat.
"It's okay, it's the same for anyone." Tong Jiayi said.
"Well, since you invited me this time, I'll do it next time I have the chance." Cao Huifang felt different.
She always felt like she owed the other party something. It was obvious that they were asking each other for help when recording the video, but now it was better. After going back and forth, it felt like they owed two meals.
Tong Jiayi said packing, and he really packed all the remaining dishes, thinking of taking them home to eat by himself, which happened to save him dinner.
He was very calm as he walked out carrying a few bags containing vegetables.
"Brother Tong, where are you going?" Cao Huifang asked, now the names were changed.
After having a meal, Cao Huifang felt that she might have really misunderstood Tong Jiayi before.
Last time Tong Jiayi and Fu Xianghui had dinner at her brother's house. During the meal, her mother suddenly asked about Tong Jiayi's marriage problem and learned that the other party was still single and had been busy with his career. This extended to her, so that she lay
gun.
She felt very uncomfortable at that time, and she felt that Tong Jiayi was not pleasing to her eyes.
But last time in the orchard, Tong Jiayi and Fu Xianghui cooperated with them to re-record the video about 'nutrient solution', which changed her mind.
Having dinner together today, Cao Huifang saw a lot of shining points from Tong Jiayi.
For example, if the other person speaks bluntly, she thinks this is not a shortcoming. In her opinion, people who are manipulative are not to be friends with.
In addition, Tong Jiayi obviously has a high income, but he is not wasteful or pretentious. Such details cannot be faked.
Cao Huifang grew up in the countryside, and Tong Jiayi also came from the countryside. She can understand some of Tong Jiayi's behaviors.
But the good sister Deng Miaoshan, who grew up in the city and grew up in a honeypot, couldn't understand it.
No one is right or wrong, it’s just that the living environment is different.
When Tong Jiayi heard Cao Huifang's question, he said, "I don't have anywhere else to go. I just bought something at the Five-Star Department Store in the morning and I thought I would go home after lunch. Do you have anywhere to go?"
"Well, Brother Tong, you've invited us to dinner, why don't we treat you to a movie? I remember that "Thunder 3: Twilight of the Gods" was just released this month, and the ratings are not low." Cao Huifang said.
Tong Jiayi didn't want to go at first, but when Cao Huifang mentioned this movie, he wanted to see it again.
Besides, he had nothing to do when he got home, so he also wanted to find something to kill time.
If it doesn't work, he is going to end his vacation early and go back to work in the company.
He felt that it would be more interesting to spend time in the laboratory or go to the orchard to observe the growth of fruit trees.
"Let's go, do you want something to eat? I'll buy some." Tong Jiayi said.
Watching a movie without ordering anything to eat or drink, I always feel like I'm in trouble.
But Deng Miaoshan couldn't remember how many times she had rolled her eyes when she was there. She couldn't see that there must be something wrong with these two people at the moment.
Maybe the two parties involved haven't realized it yet, but she, the 'bystander', saw it clearly.
Still going to the movies?
Come on, isn't this just what you do on a date?
But Deng Miaoshan still went along, otherwise she would have nowhere to go.
Besides, there were people buying food and drinks, so she didn't care.
Just act as a check for your good sisters.
The movie theater was not far from where Tong Jiayi parked his car. He put the rest of his luggage on the hooks in the trunk and then bought some food and room-temperature drinks.
But even at normal temperature, it's quite cool. After all, it's November.
In the cinema, while watching the movie on the big screen, Tong Jiayi, who originally thought his vacation was boring, suddenly wasn't bored anymore. He didn't realize what was going on. He even felt that his vacation was missing a bit.
But having said that, the end of the year is coming soon, and the boss is also rushing to get the results, otherwise he will ask the boss to extend his leave for a few days.
…
In Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie didn't know that Tong Jiayi was thinking of renewing his leave.
Today at noon, Xu Qingming, the boss of Quancheng Xinshengzhai Beef Processing Co., Ltd., came over again.
He didn't come empty-handed, he also brought a lot of gift boxes.
After coming here, in the name of visiting Mr. Cao Zhenghu, he ate and drank at Cao Shujie's house.
The two of them were very satisfied with their drink.
In fact, Cao Shujie also understood the purpose of his coming here. He just knew that the beef cattle of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative were about to be put on the market, and he wanted to buy all these beef cattle like in previous years.
The two have been cooperating since 15 years. Whether it is the beef cattle quotation given by the other party or the timely payment rate, Xu Qingming has done an impeccable job.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Shujie is willing to cooperate with him.
Near the end of the year, the price of beef on the market is picking up. At present, wholesale beef in some places has been sold for 58 yuan per kilogram, and the actual price at the retail end is even higher.
Correspondingly, as the price of beef on the market rises, the price of beef cattle for slaughter has also stopped the downward trend in the past few years and has risen accordingly.
The current market price of beef cattle has reached about 8 yuan, and the price of some high-quality beef cattle has even reached about 3 yuan.
Xu Qingming's quotation to Cao Shujie was unambiguous at all. He held out three fingers: "Secretary Cao, we still follow the old rules. According to the transaction price of beef cattle in our province, I will add 3 cents to you. According to 1 yuan, you see
Ok?"
He just waited for Cao Shujie to say something.
Cao Shujie did not hesitate and asked him: "Payment is still the same as before?"
"That's necessary. Even if I lose other people's money, I can't lose your Secretary Cao's money." Xu Qingming said.
He told Cao Shujie: "Let's stick to the estimated weight. I'll pay you part of the money first, and we'll refund more of the rest."
Cao Shujie stretched out his hand directly: "Deal!"
Needless to say, he liked Xu Qingming's "bold" energy.
No nonsense at all, just kill him with money.
The key point is that Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative has more than 8,000 early-year-old beef cattle, which is too many. If we add the number of beef cattle from the second branch of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative, it will be more than 12,000. With such a large base, ordinary beef cattle purchase
There is no way the merchant can afford that much money.
They talked about being in debt for several months, and Cao Shujie didn't like that.
It’s more comfortable to work with Xu Qingming!
"Will the beef cattle in Secretary Cao's farm be sold?" Xu Qingming continued to ask.
When he came here, he didn't just want to finish off the beef cattle from Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative, he was prepared to catch them all in one go.
Cao Shujie was also happy: "As long as the price is right, I'll sell it!" (End of Chapter)
