Chapter 247 Who can withstand such a test!

What is the soul of a business trip?

The answer is...

Not foot washing!!

It’s not like going to the second floor!

There is no place to wash your feet in this day and age, and there is nothing like what you think of on the second floor.

Traveling on business in the red era was a chore. Everyone knew that if you were going on a long trip, your colleagues and neighbors would ask you to help carry things.

If you don't take care of me, well, they can take care of you for more than ten years.

Therefore, when the company arranges business trip time, it will calculate the date.

He will give you two days for errands that you can finish in one day, and three days for errands that can be finished in two days.

This is an old rule in the agency. No one knows who is who. Anyway, if someone tells you, you can't take advantage of it.

Although Jinmen is not far from the capital, not everyone can come.

Of course no one would dare to ask leaders like Li Huaide and Li Xuewu to carry anything, but the same could not be said for the accompanying cadres.

After everything was done, Li Huaide kindly gave them leave that night and let them go shopping.

We have made an appointment to stay in Jingu tonight and return to Jinmen tomorrow morning. It will be the same then, as long as we are in place when we return to Beijing in the afternoon.

The big purchase on the last day is the soul of a business trip, painful and happy at the same time.

The pain is that even eight hands are not enough, but the joy is that you will be praised by others when you go back.

Do you think it would be easy for Li Huaide and Li Xuewu to have no one to ask for their help if they are of high rank?

Can you rest?

Dream on!

Leaders are also human beings, with relatives, friends, and children.

It’s not easy to travel for business in this era. I always want to bring something to home.

The same is true for Li Xuewu. He doesn't know how many families Li Huaide has, but he can still count how many families he has and how many good "friends" he has.

The two took a short rest in the guest house and then went downstairs together.

Of the three cars, Li Huaide and Li Xuewu only kept one car, and the other two cars were available for everyone to use.

Although Jingu is not as prosperous as Tianmen, the business here is also very developed. Thanks to the convenience of the port, a large number of non-local workers come in every year.

The workers who came to Tianjin were not the same as the migrant workers who came to work in the cities in later generations. The people assigned to work in Tianjin were originally workers, or the children of workers recruited.

In fact, anyone who has been to Jingu will know that many of the old people living in workers' villages were from this era and obeyed the orders.

Li Xuewu originally wanted to drive himself and ask the driver to play with them.

The driver, Xiao Zhou, was relatively shy, blushing and wanted to act together with the leader, fearing that it would be necessary.

Li Huaide smiled and nodded, patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder and motioned for Li Xuewu to get in the car.

He knew that Li Xuewu could drive, and he also knew the reason why Li Xuewu took driver's leave, but there was no need to be so defensive in maintaining the relationship between the two.

The dogs at the rolling mill all know how close the two are!

Seeing that he didn't care, Li Xuewu also smiled and got into the car.

Xiao Zhou was not very old, but he drove very steadily. After leaving the guest house, he turned around and asked, "Boss, where are we going?"

“Eat first”

Li Xuewu patted the passenger seat, turned to look at Li Huaide and asked: "Director Li, what do you want to eat?"

"This is your second time here, but it's really my first time here."

Li Huaide glanced out the window with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhou, do you know any special restaurants here?"

"Leader...I..."

Xiao Zhou turned around with some embarrassment and said, "I have been eating in the guest house since I came here."

"Please wait a moment"

Li Xuewu got out of the car again and trotted towards the guard room at the entrance of the guest house.

In just three or two minutes, Li Xuewu got into the car again. First he patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder and motioned for him to drive towards the county town.

“The leader specifically asked about the characteristics of Jinmen.”

Li Xuewu introduced to Li Huaide: "The pasta includes Shitoumenkan vegetarian buns, Goubuli meat buns, and Baiji dumplings."

"Eating at a halal restaurant brings good fortune and good fortune; eating roast duck brings good fortune."

“But this place is not considered an old store.”

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "After all, the public-private partnership has been changed. They are all branches of Hou Nong. I can't guarantee the taste."

As he spoke, he gestured in the direction of the county seat in front of him and said: "You said that this is my second visit, and I went out to buy a fish tank during the last training."

“Then go eat dumplings”

Li Huaide smiled and ordered dinner for the night. After Li Xuewu told Xiao Zhou the address, he waved his hand and said: "This special restaurant is not special anymore~".

After the glass on his side of the car fell down, Li Huaide looked at the street scene outside the car and said: "If you want to talk about real craftsmanship, the chefs in our factory are the ones with the most unique skills."

"You are used to eating"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The specialty means to change the taste. When seafood can enter our factory later, I will also ask Master Qian to cook a seafood feast."

"Hmm~ That's a good idea!"

Li Huaide smiled and nodded to Li Xuewu, and said: "Look back, we have to arrange a few capable apprentices for Master Qian. This craft is considered the property of our steel rolling mill and cannot be lost."

"You have to go tell Master Qian about this."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "He is treated like an old man. Taking care of his disciples is like taking care of his own son."

"Okay, I'll go tell you."

Li Huaide was absolutely unwilling to treat him badly when it came to food. Hearing that Li Xuewu was promoting Master Qian's identity, he didn't care about it.

The two of them chatted and laughed and had a meal of special dumplings at Baiji Dumpling House on Benmodu Road.

By the way, many of the street names in Jinmen and Jingu are based on the names of various places across the country, which is quite interesting.

The Modu Road was quite prosperous. The two of them came out of the dumpling restaurant, walked to the car, and walked around Jingu Street.

There are not many shops that are still open, most of them are for people's livelihood security, and some supply and marketing cooperatives have closed early.

There was Longshunrong Medicine Store on the street. Li Huaide looked up and walked in with Li Xuewu.

The salesperson inside was very polite, not impatient, and did not have the pride of salespersons in this era.

Li Huaide asked about several medicines for heart treatment. Li Xuewu didn't have time to interrupt, so he looked at the names of the medicines on the counter.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The development of Chinese patent medicines in this era has been very fast. Li Xuewu knew that Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has been studying Chinese patent medicines.

And it seems that this kind of old pharmacy has its own unique pharmaceutical technology and technology.

The young salesman led Li Huaide to the doctor, but he returned to the medicine cabinet.

He glanced at Li Xuewu and asked with a smile: "Comrade, what do you want?"

"It's okay~ take a look"

Li Xuewu raised his head and replied with a smile, his eyes pointed in the direction of Li Huaide in the store, and said: "He came with our leader."

The salesperson nodded and said, "You are not ordinary people at first glance."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Li Xuewu and Li Huaide, who were dressed in the same white and black style.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, gestured to the quaint medicine cabinet inside the counter and asked, "How many years has this pharmacy been open?"

"Hey~ I don't know about that"

The salesperson was also a talkative person. He tilted his head and pointed at the first-class plaque and said: "The old master said that this medicine store had its roots in the last century. It is a century-old Wei Yao store with serious roots."

“It is said that our old store is in Zhenshi Street, Beidaguan, Jinmen, but I don’t know the details.”

He also saw that there were not many people at this time of night, so he leaned on the counter and caught people talking nonsense. Young people couldn't stay idle.

Li Xuewu nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "What old stores are there in Jinmen City?"

"Are you going to test me?"

The salesman smiled and raised his eyebrows, as if he was about to start a fight.

But Li Xuewu smiled and said, "That's not the point. Let's just chat."

"It's okay to take the test~"

Jinmen people actually speak like this, with a seriousness but not seriousness. People who don’t know may think they are in a hurry.

The salesperson held a fly whisk in her hand and said with a smile: "If you ask our Yaozhuangzi, there are many interesting things."

"Take Tong Ren Tang as an example. We have one in the capital, right?"

He didn't know how he could tell that Li Xuewu came from the capital, so he said with certainty: "We also have Tongrentang!"

As he spoke, he said with a smile: "Master, let me tell you, we are married to our daughter from the capital, and we changed their names through marriage~"

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "Is the daughter from the capital still there?"

"My dear daughter! I'm old and gone!"

The salesperson smiled and waved his hand and said: "A few days ago, we found out that the Zhang family was causing trouble."

"That's not all!"

He smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you ever heard of Hongrentang?"

Seeing Li Xuewu shaking his head, he smiled and said: "The agency was run by the thirteenth generation descendant of the Le family of Tong Ren Tang in Beijing."

After saying that, he flexed his fingers and said: "Darentang, run by the twelfth generation of the Le family! Lerentang, run by the old Le family store!"

"Oh~ I'm out of my funhouse!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The big medicine stores in Jinmen are all owned by Lao Le's family!"

"That's not the case!"

The salesperson pointed to the old plaque above his head and said: "The only famous old store left in Tianjin is our Longshunrong and has nothing to do with Lejia."

"It turns out that the owner of the agency is from Jiangnan. Many of the rules we introduced were handed down from the past, and there are traces of these southerners."

Li Xuewu knocked on the counter and asked with a smile: "You haven't changed yet?"

"Hey~ I can't run away~"

The salesperson smiled and said: "There is a commotion going on in Jinmen. I don't know when we will introduce it. I just heard that it is quite interesting."

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu looked him over with a smile. This salesman also had an active heart.

In fact, he is no stranger to Longshunrong. Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water were developed by this drugstore.

I just don’t know who owns such a century-old brand now.

He was determined to find a property for his father and his third son, but he didn't know if it would be suitable.

While they were talking here, Li Huaide had already taken the medicine. When he went out again, he explained: "My wife has a bad heart. He has been seeking medical advice over the years."

"Then you should pay more attention to your diet and temperature."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to carry the medicine bag for him and waved to Xiao Zhou to pick it up.

The two of them continued shopping and chatting, as if they had really come out to relax.

In fact, the boss Li Xuewu doesn't want to go out with Li Huaide anymore. He is young and can easily walk on the road with the older girl.

However, Li Huaide was very interested and looked at the shops in Jingu City, which looked very novel.

Li Xuewu actually wanted to remind him, don't worry, there is no dancing shop here at this time, let alone foot massage!

"Let's go and take a look at the tea leaves"

Li Huaide motioned to the teahouse in front and took the lead to walk forward.

Li Xuewu looked sideways. At this time, there were fewer cars on the road and more pedestrians.

Jingu is also an old city, and you can still see traces of history on the roads, especially the shops that are close to each other, and the style of the doorways is particularly obvious.

Li Xuewu followed Li Huaide into a tea house called Chengxing.

The salesperson in the store was very discerning, glanced at the two of them, and hurriedly went inside to call the master.

A man in his forties opened the door curtain and walked out from the back room.

He looked at Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu with probing eyes, then came over and greeted them with a smile: "Good evening, comrades."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate the direction of the tea seat and said politely: "Have you eaten? If you have had dinner, how about a bowl of tea?"

Li Huaide smiled and nodded, taking Li Xuewu with him to sit down at the tea table.

The young salesman was very discerning and brought out a pot of boiling water from the back room. He took the old master's hand and refilled the teapot with hot water.

The man smiled and looked at Li Huaide and said politely: "My surname is Liu, and I am the manager of the tea house. Have you just arrived in Jingu?"

"oh?"

Li Huaide glanced at Li Xuewu with a smile and asked Manager Liu, "Why do you see him?"

"In our industry, we mostly rely on our eyesight."

Manager Liu waved his hand and refused the young salesperson's help. He quickly made two cups of tea and handed them over.

After serving tea, he continued: "My eyes are quite good. I can probably remember clearly the people who pass by our shop every day."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After speaking, he smiled and gestured to Li Xuewu and the two of them, saying: "You are so generous, at least we rarely see it in this area."

"Manager Liu, you still know how to speak"

Li Xuewu smiled and responded with a polite word, looked at Li Huaide and said: "Why didn't I notice that we have any generosity? Is it true that we are dusty? Hahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

Manager Liu and Li Huaide laughed out loud, and greeted the teacup on the table: "Please have some tea."

Li Huaide picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The taste was average.

I think this is hospitality tea, which is an ordinary tea used to maintain old customers or develop new customers.

If we really take out the good tea leaves, there won't be enough to drink.

Li Xuewu's tea reached his mouth, just like drinking wine, he didn't pour it into his mouth at all.

It's dark when we go out, so we can't drink the water outside.

It's not that Li Xuewu is cautious and untrustworthy, but that in this era anything can happen.

Are there too few cases of murder for money?

Not to mention that Gyeonggi is the most important place and the most benign place. None of the cases he has handled have been good.

Li Huaide looked at the decoration of the store and the tea-scented counter, and asked: "Are you two alone tonight?"

"I work the night shift and get off work after nine o'clock."

Manager Liu smiled and asked: "What kind of tea do you usually drink? We are a time-honored tea brand here. Please tell me if there is anything suitable for you."

"I don't drink much, I just drink whatever I have."

Li Huaide did not answer Manager Liu's suggestion, but just glanced at the furnishings in the store.

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, put down the tea cup, and asked Manager Liu: "May I ask what is the best tea in our store?"

"Hey~ you're asking me questions now."

Manager Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Huaide who was still observing the store over there, and said to Li Xuewu with a smile: "There is no good or bad in this tea, some just like it."

"As you said, I like to drink Pu'er, but I don't like Longjing. So Pu'er is good tea for you. No matter how expensive Longjing is, it doesn't matter what you think."

"You know how to do business, it's such a courtesy."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "You are well-informed and can help me with my advice. For people like us, especially those who sit in the office for a long time, is it better to drink green tea or black tea?"

"Then I will say a few more words~"

Manager Liu said politely: "According to us, black tea is mainly suitable for drinking after meals, and it is better to drink more green tea at ordinary times."

"Then can you recommend some pieces of green tea to us?"

Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to the tea cabinet behind him and said, "I'm young and I really don't understand this."

Having said this, Manager Liu was also a sensible person. He nodded with a smile and said: "We have authentic West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Dongting Biluochun, Lu'an Guapian, Lushan Yunwu, and Mengding Manna."

"Which flavor do you want?"

"I really don't understand"

Li Xuewu smiled, and then said with some yearning: "I wonder if you have heard of the famous wildebeest man in Beijing Liyuan?".

"this……"

Manager Liu was stunned for a moment and tried to ask: "What do you mean?"

"This Mr. Ma has a big hobby, which is drinking tea."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "When I went to Changping to experience life, I sent someone back to Beijing to get Biluochun because I couldn't buy it."

"I just want to ask, is this Biluochun really so charming?"

"You're telling me you're covering me up."

Manager Liu smiled and said: "Of course I know the Mr. Ma you are talking about, but didn't the newspaper say it was for... so what?"

"It's Biluochun"

He glanced at Li Xuewu and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Ma's drink may be the best."

"Crack!"

Li Xuewu slapped the table, nodded with a smile, and Manager Liu said, "I want the best Biluochun you are talking about!"

Manager Liu was startled, but calmed down after hearing that Li Xuewu said it was not a robbery.

Although he complained that Li Xuewu was scaring people, he didn't seem to be easy to mess with, so he quickly got up and called the salesperson to get the goods.

"I have nothing to do with the Mr. Ma you were talking about."

After Manager Liu sat down again, he emphasized to Li Xuewu: "That's just my guess. I can't guarantee that what he drank is what I brought out."

“But I can guarantee this is the best Biluochun in our store.”

He solemnly assured: "The goods are from the Tianjin Office of the Tea Corporation. The price is the same as the tea used by Mr. Ma you mentioned. This is correct."

The salesperson had already walked out with a tube of tea. He glanced at Li Xuewu hesitantly and handed the tea to Manager Liu.

Manager Liu placed the tea can on the coffee table and motioned to Li Xuewu to take a look.

Li Xuewu nodded casually and said: "Make a pot and try it."

"this……"

Manager Liu's expression changed, he looked at Li Xuewu and said hesitantly: "The tea leaves in our Chengxing Tea House are all packaged, and they are not sold in bulk."

"I didn't say buy them separately!"

Li Xuewu's sharp eyes glanced at the tea jar on the coffee table, and said to Manager Liu: "You open it and we have a taste. If it's really good, then this jar is mine."

"This... doesn't fit..."

Manager Liu was just about to speak when he saw the young man opposite him taking out three big stickers from his pocket and placing them next to the tea jar.

“Kaifeng, try it”

Li Xuewu still had the same expression and the same movements, but his tone became sinister, and he pointed his finger to signal Manager Liu to make tea.

When Manager Liu saw the thirty yuan on the table, he knew that he was going to have a hard time today.

He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's up to you."

As he spoke, he didn't pay attention to the pistol handle exposed on Li Xuewu's waist. He changed the purple clay teapot, opened the seal of the tea can, and carefully took out less than a penny of tea leaves and put them in the teapot.

He didn't touch the thermos bottle on the floor, and waved his hand to the somewhat dumbfounded young salesperson to get the hot water that was running on the stove.

He worked hard and treated the pot of tea and the two particularly picky guests who came tonight with great care.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the first time he has encountered someone like this, picky yet generous, arrogant yet reasonable.

Naturally, he didn't touch the thirty yuan, which was against the rules.

Manager Liu could tell that the other party was not here to crack down on counterfeiters, let alone cause trouble, he just wanted a face.

And how much this face is worth depends on his next performance.

"You two are invited."

Manager Liu very solemnly replaced the tea cup with new tea and placed it in front of the two of them.

His face was serious and solemn, as if he were treating a distinguished guest with great respect, but also with a sense of grievance and reservation.

Li Huaide had been sitting aside and watching, and now he picked up the teacup and tasted it.

Under Manager Liu's surprised gaze, Li Xuewu changed the tea in front of him, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup too.

"What? You don't have confidence yourself?"

“Thank you for being so polite!”

Manager Liu said seriously: "To be honest, I haven't had such good tea in many years."

As he spoke, he handed the tea cup to Li Xuewu in a serious manner and tasted it carefully.

Those who knew he was sipping tea, but those who didn't know thought he was drinking the nectar of the Queen Mother and transformed into an immortal.

Li Xuewu didn't touch the good tea in front of him at all. He just looked at Li Huaide's face. After he finished drinking, he asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Manager Liu also looked at the older guest nervously while holding a tea cup. He knew who the protagonist was today.

Li Huaide considered it carefully and asked Li Xuewu: "Hey~ Is it because you said that this tea costs ten yuan a tael that I think it tastes good?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated. The young salesman, who was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead, exhaled and finally relaxed.

He didn't realize it until now. His back was wet with sweat, and he was scared.

It was late at night, and a strong man with a gun stuck in his waist and scars on his face came into the store. He was so scared that he ran out and called the police.

Li Xuewu never touched the cup of tea. He nodded the tea leaves in front of him and said: "Since our leader said it is good, then it is really good."

"thank you!"

Manager Liu smiled and thanked him, then called the salesperson and said: "Xiao Hu, help the customer open the ticket."

"etc!"

Li Xuewu held down the box of tea that Manager Liu was going to pick up, and said with a smile: "I told you, this box is mine."

After saying this, he let go of his hand and said: "Besides, one box of tea is enough for anyone. If you round it up, help me get three more boxes."

As he spoke, the tickets were already counted in his hand, and the seven large tickets were stacked together with the previous three.

Tea is sold in a bucket of two and a half, one or two dozen yuan, and a bucket is twenty-five yuan.

Li Xuewu asked for the unopened jar, and including the three more jars he wanted, it was exactly one hundred yuan.

The reason why I didn't mention the tea stamps is because this kind of tea is negotiated tea and does not require stamps.

You can't buy it if you use tickets normally, because there is no such level in the ticket quota.

Manager Liu looked at the cash on the table and was stunned for a moment. Then he stood up, took the money, and went to the counter to issue the ticket himself.

Li Huaide said nothing, just sipping the tea poured by Li Xuewu.

He did it on purpose, he took Li Xuewu out for a walk on purpose, he took Li Xuewu out to eat on purpose, and he took Li Xuewu shopping on purpose.

Drinking tea was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but it was also part of his plan.

Li Xuewu had noticed it a long time ago, so he had to change the driver in front of the door.

He had nothing to compete with at Baiji Dumpling Restaurant. Li Huaide took the initiative to pay the few yuan fee.

But it was different now. After Li Huaide came out of the capital, he was still testing him.

He had business these past two days, so he behaved normally, but since he had some free time today, it was time to solve the problem.

Li Xuewu was prepared, so when he entered the tea house and sat down, he was so picky when he saw that Li Huaide was silent.

Li Huaide wanted to see his attitude, so he naturally had to show his proper attitude.

Tea is precious in gold, ten yuan a tael is more expensive than gold, but does Li Huaide want tea?

Is tea more expensive or attitude more expensive?

Li Xuewu's performance today determines how much situation he can control under Li Huaide's hands in the future and how much control over the distribution of interests he has.

Zhang Guoqi's case still affects the relationship between the two, and it is useless no matter how much you say.

Li Xuewu did not explain, let alone distinguish. In the face of interests, words are pale, and he has to come up with reality.

Dongfeng Shipping, Jingcheng Recycling Station, Steel City Recycling Station, etc. all depend on the steel rolling mill for survival. Li Huaide's attitude directly determines the survival of these units.

Li Xuewu didn't feel bad about giving something to Li Huaide, but the other party was also a cunning character, could he accept his gift?

From the beginning to the end, Li Huaide never asked for anything from Li Xuewu. He clearly knew that Li Xuewu had other ways to make profits in trading projects, but he pretended not to know.

This is his wisdom.

No one loves you casually, and no one hates you unconsciously. They support you and help you for a reason.

Li Huaide asked Li Xuewu to help him. To support him, he had to create and allow this reason.

He was not afraid that Li Xuewu would take things from the steel rolling mill, but the key was that Li Xuewu wouldn't take them.

The relationship between the two is very subtle, interdependent, but guarded.

Li Huaide said he likes to drink tea, but he can afford it, let alone 25 yuan a can, even 100 yuan a can.

On the other hand, why did Li Xuewu only buy four cans today?

Because his salary level can only support his consumption in this way, he is also expressing an attitude by doing so.

That is to do my best to support you within my ability!

Only a fool would carelessly buy three hundred or five hundred at this time. That is not showing loyalty, it is insulting.

No matter how good Biluochun is, you can't eat it as food. If you do it so much, it's not tea tasting, it's money tasting, and the taste will change.

Is it true that the leader can’t afford your tea anymore, so he brings you here to bribe you so late at night?

What a joke!

Li Xuewu acted so picky, and he acted in a scene with Manager Liu and made his attitude clear. The rest depends on what Li Huaide means.

Manager Liu divided the four cans of tea into two portions and marked the opened can.

Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide to finish the pot of tea, then stood up, picked up the tea leaves, and went out with Li Huaide amidst Manager Liu's polite voice.

Xiao Zhou took the initiative to greet him and wanted to take the bag from Li Xuewu's hand.

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide with a smile and said: "These two cans are for you. Let Xiao Zhou put them away and put them back in your office for entertaining guests."

After speaking, he gestured to the opened bag in his hand and said: "I will enjoy the opened jar myself, and the remaining jar will be given to Secretary Xue, who is also a tea lover."

"Haha~ You do know how to scheme~"

Li Huaide was not too polite. He nodded at him with a smile, glanced at the night, and wanted to go back.

Li Xuewu pointed to the other side of the road and said, "I'll accompany you to the teahouse. Please accompany me to see the winery."

"Hehehe~"

Li Huaide glanced at him with a smile and said, "I am a good tea person, but I don't remember that you are a good wine person!"

"Look what you said!"

Li Xuewu raised his hand and asked him to go first. As he crossed the road, he said: "I'm not just having a few sips for myself. We also want to build a winery. Let's check the market in advance."

After speaking, he smiled and reminded in a low voice: "The wine the guest house has stored for you is too simple in taste. Let's enrich the wine this time."

"Hahaha~"

Li Huaide laughed and patted Li Xuewu's arm, then led the way into the winery with its bright front door.

Why do the four boxes of gifts include tobacco, wine, tea and sugar?

Because the prices of these four items can be negotiated, that is to say, if you can’t buy them with tickets, you can buy them at bargain shops.

If you want to go out and give gifts, and you are worried that you can’t buy the right ones, you have to spend more money to get them together, which defeats the purpose of giving gifts.

When delivering tea, you should be polite, but when delivering wine, go directly to Wu.

Li Xuewu made a big purchase at the winery, but he wasn't allowed to taste it, and he didn't want to pretend to be here, so he ordered two boxes of a few items.

This winery is a unit of the Liquor Company of the Jinmen Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It sells all types of wine, regardless of old or new brands.

But the new brand of wine was boring, so he wanted something special.

So I ordered rose dew wine, Wujiapi wine and sorghum wine from Yijuyongji, Hongliang wine from Tiangu, Jin wine I drank yesterday, and Xingtide Shaoguo.

Here I have to talk about Xingtide Shaoguo, which was the wedding wine drunk by Tongzhi during his wedding, and later became the royal wine of the palace.

That prodigal old lady likes to drink this.

Perhaps it was because Li Xuewu was generous and bought too much, or because he and Li Huaide had an extraordinary temperament, the salesperson in the store also helped Xiao Zhou move the wine.

When Li Xuewu and Li Huaide got back to the car, they couldn't help but smile when they smelled the aroma of wine emanating from the car.

A smile is a sign of scheming, a sweet tongue and a sword.

A smile is a sign of intrigue, and a smile hides a knife.

------------------

Everyone came back very late on Friday night, and the chatter in the corridor of the guest house took a long time to stop.

It's not surprising that they won't be able to take the things they bought back with them, because they still have to take the train when they go back, with cars picking them up and dropping them off, and they're just tired of wandering around.

On Saturday morning, Li Xuewu and Li Huaide got up early because they came back early and had a good rest.

After breakfast, we met up with the comrades in the factory and took a bus to the dock.

When we returned the same way, others were still on the boat catching up on two hours of sleep.

So when they returned to Jinmen at around eight o'clock in the morning, they went shopping as a group in high spirits.

Li Huaide and Li Xuewu first listened to Zhuang Cangshu's introduction and report in the guest house, and then let Li Xuewu express their gratitude to Zhang Changming before going out.

Li Xuewu originally thought that he would have to accompany Li Huaide to continue to visit the market, but he was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, so he gave the money tickets to acquaintances in advance and asked them to buy back what he wanted.

Li Huaide waited for him in the car for a while. When he came back, he didn't ask any questions and glanced at Li Haiyang who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Li Haiyang pointed the way to the driver, and the car drove along the street toward the city.

Li Xuewu didn't care where he was going. He was either at Zhongyuan Department Store or Quanyechang.

Zhongyuan Department Store opened in 2008 and is now regarded as the largest department store retail mall in Tianjin and a new entertainment center in Tianjin.

I heard that in the first few years after its opening, it dominated the department store market in Jinmen. At its peak, it was the sales champion of the department store industry in Jinmen.

Quanyechang was founded in the same year as Zhongyuan Department Store, but Quanyechang has a more historical flavor.

Located at the intersection of Heping Road and Binjiang Road in Heping District, it is a large-scale building in an eclectic style.

This was once the largest shopping mall in Tianjin and a symbol of Tianmen’s business.

Of course, everything is now managed by the Jinmen Supply and Marketing System. When everyone got together in the morning, they discussed going to Quanyechang.

In the car, Li Xuewu reported to Li Huaide the content of his meeting with Zhang Changming and the temporary plans for the Tianjin office.

After all, it is the office with the largest capital investment, and Li Huaide also attaches great importance to it.

When Li Xuewu proposed that Zhuang Cangshu be the director of the office, he agreed after thinking about it.

Zhuang Cangshu is the deputy director of the Sales Department and the main cadre responsible for the preparations for the Tianjin Office. He is familiar with the situation here, so he should be the first director.

Of course, when to change and who to change depends on the development and performance of the Jinmen office.

After Li Xuewu and Li Huaide finalized the candidate, they discovered that the car was heading towards Zizhulin Pier.

Are you going to visit the Bank of East Asia again?

"Are you interested in working in Tianjin?"

Li Xuewu didn't hear Li Huaide say where he was going, so this matter was a bit strange.

Either there was something wrong with the location and he was worried, or there was something else.

Li Huaide went to Jingu yesterday, and it was here in Jinmen that the changes occurred. Li Haiyang was the only one left in Jinmen.

And Li Huaide didn't give him a clear attitude or answer last night or this morning. Isn't this accident related to Li Huaide's temptation and suspicion?

The key point lies in Li Haiyang. Li Huaide deliberately left him here to do business yesterday.

Li Xuewu couldn't ask directly, so he named the co-pilot Li Haiyang based on the topic just now.

Facing Li Xuewu's question, Li Huaide smiled and said nothing.

Li Haiyang turned around and replied humbly to Li Xuewu: "Thank you, Deputy Secretary Li, for your cultivation, but I know how much I am worth. I'd better learn from the leader for a few more years."

"I don't know what else you've learned~"

Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to Li Huaide and said: "It's true that I learned this humility from the leader!"

"Hahaha~"

Li Huaide couldn't help but praise, and he also knew that Li Xuewu was joking on purpose, or that he couldn't suppress his inner turmoil.

No matter what it is, he is happy.

I'm not afraid that Li Xuewu is capable, but I'm afraid that I can't see Li Xuewu's heart and bottom line.

In the past, there was a huge disparity in status between the two, but he was confident that he could overpower Li Xuewu.

He is still confident now, but what about the future?

The trade project had to be handed over to Li Xuewu after all. If he didn't test Li Xuewu's bottom line, he would always worry about it.

It can be said that Li Xuewu's progress turned his leisure time into an urgent and urgent task.

This time when the Jinmen Office made plans, he also discovered his own shortcomings and saw clearly Li Xuewu's abilities.

Not only in the factory, but also in external situations and achieving results.

Compared to Zhang Changming, he is more optimistic about Li Xuewu's future.

Although Zhang Changming's family has connections in the city, this is also a restriction and a ceiling.

But Li Xuewu is different. He clearly knows that he has a relationship, but it is all a work relationship.

My family background is simple, and there is no conflict with my father-in-law, so my future is really limitless.

Unless he had to, he really didn't want to ruin his relationship with Li Xuewu.

Therefore, for the last test, he had to show off his cards with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu never expected that the test Li Huaide gave him would be this!

"Three floors above ground, one underground floor, with attic and balcony with view"

A middle-aged female cadre briefly introduced the European-style bungalow in front of her.

"The yard has a garage, a warehouse, and a full set of living facilities."

As he spoke, he opened the wooden courtyard door, pointed in the direction of the living room and said: "The interior design is exquisite, the whole house is electrified, there are electric vacuum cleaners, electric sewing machines, floor-standing radios, answering machines, televisions, etc., everything you need."

The female cadre just stood in the yard and introduced her, and did not go into the house. I wonder if it was because the seal on the door was too new and too conspicuous.

"It's very special. You can listen to stereo sound in this room. During the decoration, more than a dozen radios were installed."

Hearing what she said, Li Xuewu's eyebrows jumped. There must be so many rich people who dare to do this.

Things like "electrification" don't matter anymore. Tianjin is close to the sea. Do you think that if the Southerners have boats to go out, Tianjin won't be bold enough to go to the small days?

Otherwise, how did Yu Min and the others get those things?!

Li Huaide was very calm and did not pay attention to the seal on the door. He lightly motioned to the garden house and asked Li Xuewu: "How is this house?"
