"Sister Gao, don't worry, I will do my best to help you ask." Xu Dong promised.
Gao Yuemei was very grateful: "Sorry to trouble you, Xiao Xu."
"Brother Xu, we are waiting for your good news!"
After speaking, Xiang Xin raised the watermelon and wanted to "clink glasses" with Xu Dong to show his cheers.
Xu Dong raised the watermelon and touched it with the other party, ate it in two or two bites, then wiped his mouth and left the canteen.
The afternoon was almost the same as the morning. Xu Dong sat on his chair and continued reading a novel. He felt too hot in the middle and went to the control room to use the air conditioner for a while.
Yes, security work is so dull and boring, but fortunately Xu Dong doesn't have any big pursuits and is not afraid of wasting his life. He is just as lazy at home as he is in a state-owned enterprise.
At half past five, it was time to get off work. Xu Dong didn't waste a minute. He stepped on the accelerator and reached home in less than half an hour.
"Honey, I'm back."
"There's mung bean soup in the pot, go drink it quickly!"
Yang Lina was wearing a big-brimmed hat and was weeding in the vegetable garden. The weather was hot and the weeds were growing fast.
Xu Dong was heating up, so he quickly went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of mung bean soup, and then went to the refrigerator to scoop out a spoonful of crushed ice and added it to the soup.
I took a big sip with great pleasure. It was sweet in my mouth and cold in my heart. One word: "refreshing"!
After walking around for a while, Xu Dong didn't see his precious daughters, so Xu Dong asked: "Honey, where are Coco and Lele, haven't they finished school yet?"
"I came back early and went to square dance with my mother." Yang Lina said with a smile.
"The sun hasn't set yet. Are you afraid of heatstroke if you dance in the square?" Xu Dong said with a frown.
Yang Lina picked up the water glass on the side and took a sip of water, and explained: "It's not outdoors. Now I dance indoors, in the activity center of Champs Elysees."
"Dabao and the other three are also there?"
"Well, there are a lot of children in the activity center. They have hired people to take care of the children there. It's also a good thing for Dabao and the others to go out and play more. They can't stay at home all day long."
That's the bad thing about living alone. It's quiet, but for children, it seems a bit lonely without playmates.
"When will you come back?"
Yang Lina replied: "It shouldn't be more than half past six. Mom goes out to dance for almost an hour every time."
"What about dinner? There will be guests coming later?" Xu Dong wondered.
"Don't worry, Mom is more proactive than you. The big dishes are all ready. When the time comes, take them out to heat them up and stir-fry a few side dishes."
…
Before seven o'clock in the evening, Boss Wang arrived ten minutes early.
"Woof...woof...woof..."
When the wolf dog Mark saw a stranger coming in, he suddenly started to make a fuss and rattled the dog's leash.
Boss Wang was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Xu Dong. Father Xu stepped forward to comfort Mark, and Xu Dong took the opportunity to bring Boss Wang into the restaurant.
"Boss Wang, I didn't scare you, did I?" Xu Dong asked with concern.
Boss Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear: "This dog of yours must be a wolfdog. It's so fierce. I haven't encountered it in many years."
"When raising a janitor, it's better to be fierce." Xu Dong explained.
"Isn't it forbidden to keep large dogs in urban areas now?" Boss Wang asked doubtfully.
Xu Dong smiled and did not answer, but made a gesture of counting money.
Boss Wang understood immediately and said with a smile: "In today's world, as long as you have money, there is really nothing you can't do."
Xu Dong was happy that the other party misunderstood. Mark rarely went out of the courtyard. In addition, it was a private courtyard and the courtyard was closed. There was no problem of disturbing the public, so there was no need to worry about being reported.
After some polite greetings, dinner began.
Looking at the table full of meat and vegetables, Boss Wang was so flattered that he kept saying:
“It’s so rich, it’s really a waste of money!”
Xu Ma was obviously very pleased with it: "They are all home-cooked dishes. Boss Wang, just don't dislike them."
"What do you dislike? I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't seen meat on the table for almost a month." Boss Wang said bitterly.
Xu's mother echoed: "It's true that you can't buy meat in the market now. The meat I have is left over from the Chinese New Year, so I won't be able to eat it for a few days."
Father Xu saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, so he quickly raised his glass and said:
"Boss Wang, I'd like to toast you and welcome you to my home."
The wine on the table is beer. After all, we have to discuss business later, so liquor is not suitable because it is easy to get drunk and cause trouble.
"Mr. Xu, come too!" Boss Wang held up his wine glass and invited.
Xu Dong nodded and raised his wine glass,
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
The three of them touched each other and drank it all in one gulp. The beer was cold and extremely dry.
"The taste is rich and the wine is good." Boss Wang couldn't help but praise it.
Xu Dong smiled and explained: "This is craft beer, a foreign brand. It has been very popular in China in the past two years."
"Let me tell you, it turns out to be craft beer, no wonder it tastes so mellow." Boss Wang said with emotion, then he took a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Boss Wang, where did you get rich recently?" Xu Dong took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"How can I make a fortune? I can take care of my children at home. Business is not easy to do now. Small agents like me are ignored by other factory managers."
"Has Midea's production capacity been restored?"
Boss Wang sighed: "I called and inquired. Now there is only 20% of the production capacity. Only 20% of the production capacity must first meet local orders. Yanjing will not consider it for the time being."
"Boss Wang, you can consider second-hand electrical appliances. If they are well made, you can make a lot of money." Father Xu said with emotion.
"Uncle Xu, I will consider your suggestion carefully, and I respect you."
Boss Wang raised his glass to Father Xu with a glass of wine.
In this way, after three drinks, the topic finally came to the price of electric fans.
"Mr. Xu, you'd better lower the price a little more!"
"Boss Wang, 10 million is really not much. This is my lowest price. It can't be any less."
"Sell for 1.8 million and buy back for 10 million. The price difference is more than five times. Mr. Xu, you have to understand my feelings." Boss Wang began to sell miserably.
Xu Dong was unmoved, shook his head and said:
"Boss Wang, if it wasn't for compensation, I wouldn't have called you. If we have money, let's make it together. If we get 10 million, you will never suffer a loss."
Boss Wang gritted his teeth and asked to make a call outside. Xu Dong personally sent him to the gate.
Mark was chewing bones. When he saw Boss Wang, he just hummed a few times, but fortunately he didn't scream loudly.
Boss Wang talked on the phone for more than ten minutes, seemingly trying to persuade someone.
Returning to the restaurant again, Boss Wang extended his right hand to Xu Dong. The meaning was obvious, the deal was concluded.
Xu Dong stepped forward and held the other person's hand.
“A pleasure to work with!”
“A pleasure to work with.”
After dinner, Xu Dong took Boss Wang to the room to inspect the goods. Boss Wang randomly checked a few electric fans before nodding with satisfaction.
This batch of goods has not been opened and is almost intact.
The next day, Xu Dong took a whole morning off and stayed at home to complete the final transaction.
Seeing the full 10 million that had arrived, Xu Dong felt that he had to buy something, otherwise he would suffer a huge loss.
