"Mr. Xu, I wonder what you mean by making this call?"
Xu Dong went straight to the point without beating around the bush:
"I want to sell these electric fans. I wonder, Boss Wang, if you want to buy them back?"
"Yes, of course I do!"
Boss Wang quickly stated that with the current hot market conditions, you can still make money even if you buy it back at a high price.
"Okay, since I want to sell and you also want to buy, let's make an appointment to discuss it in detail?" Xu Dong suggested.
"Okay, I'm always available here."
Xu Dong considered that he would have to go to work during the day tomorrow, so he said:
"Then let's go to seven o'clock tomorrow night. You can come to my house, or I can go to your place. It's your choice."
"I'd better come here in person!" Boss Wang replied immediately.
He actually had a small calculation in mind and wanted to take the opportunity to confirm the batch of electric fans to avoid being cheated.
"Then it's settled. Seven o'clock happens to be dinner time at our house. Let's chat while eating. I'll send the address to your mobile phone later."
"Okay, see you tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong made an OK gesture to his mother, then talked about the meeting and asked Xu's mother to cook more dishes.
…
Early the next morning, Xu Dong drove the Daben to send the Coco sisters to school and went to work on the way as usual.
During this year's May Day holiday, because the reconstruction work is far from over, the country only took a symbolic day off.
Besides, there is a shortage of supplies in the market, people are panicked all over the country, and no one is in the mood to travel.
Arriving at the north gate of the company, Xiao Wang saw his boss running and immediately opened the retractable door. Xiao Cheng, who was standing guard, also saluted Xu Dong with a military salute.
Xu Dong lowered the window and nodded at the three of them.
I came to the parking lot, parked the car, put the car cover on Daben, then went to the office, checked in and clocked in, then made a cup of green tea and chatted with my colleagues.
Near nine o'clock, I put on my security uniform and went to the west gate.
After more than half a month of getting along, Xu Dong has completely integrated into the power company and is used to commuting to and from get off work on time every day.
"Brother Xu, morning!"
"morning…"
After saying hello, as usual, Xu Dong gave each of his three subordinates a cigarette. This was considered a small benefit in the guard room!
After briefly arranging his work, Xu Dong leaned on his chair and read a book. It was not a physical book, but a certain online novel, which Xiao Huang specially recommended to him.
Xu Dong was hooked immediately. This thing is very suitable for killing time, much better than playing games. After all, games tend to lose their freshness after playing for a long time.
Just when he was enjoying watching, Xiao Huang suddenly came up and said:
"Brother Xu, I would like to take two days off."
Xu Dong put away his phone, raised his head and asked concernedly: "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
Xiao Huang shook his head and immediately explained: "The police station near my home is recruiting auxiliary police officers. I signed up before and will take the written test tomorrow."
As the unemployment rate rises sharply, in order to deal with the increasingly severe public security problems, major cities across the country are urgently expanding their police teams, and the auxiliary police are a good supplement.
"This is a good thing. You can go to the exam without worries. I agree to the leave." Xu Dong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!"
"Thank you for what you are doing? Take the exam well and I'll wait for your good news." Xu Dong encouraged.
Xiao Huang smiled bitterly: "I hope so, but with my body, I might not be able to pass the physical examination."
"Huang Yan, it's best to find some connections in your family. It shouldn't be a big problem." Xiao Wang had similar experience, so he suggested from the side.
Xiao Huang nodded: "My mother said the same thing. My uncle happens to work in the hospital. I don't know if it will work."
"Why are you thinking so much? Let's pass the written test first." Xu Dong was afraid that the other party would think too much, so he quickly comforted him.
Xiao Wang also echoed: "The recruitment of auxiliary police officers is not very strict, it will definitely work."
Xiao Huang regained a little confidence, and then nodded solemnly.
The morning passed quickly, and soon lunch time came again. Xu Dong came to the cafeteria with his hands behind his back.
Compared with half a month ago, the food standard in the canteen has dropped a lot. There used to be seven or eight meat dishes, but now there are only five left.
After a while, it is estimated that these five meat dishes will no longer be available. By then, you will be able to eat whatever is available, and everyone will no longer have to worry about choosing dishes.
"Brother Xu, this way!"
Xu Dong took a closer look and saw that it was Xiang Xin waving to him, and there were two other female colleagues at the same table.
Although he was reluctant, Xu Dong still walked over, this time for snacks.
Xiang Xin looked at Xu Dong's dinner plate and asked strangely: "Brother Xu, it's hard to have meat today, why don't you order some shredded pork with green pepper?"
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, and pork is much more expensive than seafood right now.
"I hate eating green peppers."
Xu Dong made up a reason casually. The real reason was that there was no shortage of pork at home, and bacon and ham were almost always available.
On the other hand, it is hard to buy seafood. The family has not eaten seafood for more than a week, and the twins have long been clamoring for prawns.
"That's such a shame." After Xiang Xin finished speaking, he immediately picked up a small piece of shredded pork and put it on Xu Dong's plate, "Here, have a taste!"
Alarm bells were ringing in Xu Dong's head, and he was being courteous for nothing. It seemed that the three female colleagues must have something big to ask for.
"Taste mine too."
"I'll give you a bigger piece of meat."
Xu Dong quickly covered his plate, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and said with a grimace: "I've told you so many times, I've really finished my snacks, so don't worry about it anymore."
Gao Yuemei is the oldest of the three female colleagues. She is 52 years old and will retire in three years. In terms of qualifications, she is second only to Section Chief Li in the department.
I saw her shaking her head and saying:
"It's not about snacks. This time, my eldest sister has something to ask you."
Seeing that the other party's tone was low, Xu Dong immediately corrected his attitude: "Sister Gao, if you need anything, just tell me. I will help you if I can."
"It's not urgent. Let's eat first and then talk after we finish." Gao Yuemei said politely.
"That's fine!"
Xu Dong deliberately speeded up his eating. In less than ten minutes, the food was all gone. After returning the plate, he also took a piece of watermelon.
"Sister Gao, can we talk now?"
Gao Yuemei nodded and said: "Xiao Xu, eldest sister knows that you are capable, can you help eldest sister get a can of milk powder?"
In fact, Gao Yuemei is also a doctor. Among the people she knows, Xu Dong is the only one who is truly rich. Rich people must have more channels than ordinary people.
Xu Dong was a little crazy. Why was it about milk powder? He had never mentioned triplets in the company. At most, he only talked about them.
It’s so evil!
"Well..." Xu Dong hesitated, "I can only ask for help, but I don't dare to guarantee it."
Refusal must not be refused directly, otherwise it will appear insincere and easily offend others. As for whether to help or not, we will talk about that later.
Xiang Xin immediately interrupted: "Brother Xu, please help Sister Gao. Her grandson has just been weaned. He cries every day and doesn't eat well. Sister Gao is almost worried to death."
"Hey, Xiao Xu, the eldest sister only needs a can of milk powder to get through this month. You must help the eldest sister. The price is not an issue. The eldest sister is willing to pay any amount." Gao Yuemei begged.
