There is a bookstore near the tram stop. Wang Xuelin has this habit. Because the weather is too cold, he will go to the bookstore for a while while waiting for the bus.
Today was no exception. He bought a newspaper and sat on the bench by the window of the bookstore to kill time.
Wang Xinrui's figure passed by the bookstore, quickly crossed the road, and got into a black car parked on the side of the road.
In the past, even if he saw this situation, Wang Xuelin wouldn't care too much, and there would be no need to involve too many irrelevant things.
Things are different now. My good impression of Wang Xinrui is growing day by day. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos, so naturally it is inevitable to pay more attention to her.
A few minutes later, the face of the man with a knife appeared in his sight. He looked around, walked to the car, opened the door and got in.
After a while, the car sped away.
How is this going?
Did they already know each other?
This means that it was no accident that Dao Tiao Lian showed up at the Ruby Cafe. They arranged to meet there. Was Wang Xinrui using herself as a cover?
Ordinary people would not meet in this way, only spies need to be secretive!
Thinking of what Yu Zeshui said in the interrogation room, Wang Xuelin suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that Wang Xinrui is the intelligence agent Lily?
This is so shocking!
The female spy who gets along day and night is actually a latent member of the underground party?
If you think about it from his perspective, it seems that there is no need to make a fuss. He is also lurking within the military system. It would also be incredible to others.
There are various signs that Wang Xinrui and Dao Tiao Lian met each other at the Ruby Cafe that day. Today should be an official meeting!
Back home, Wang Xuelin still couldn't calm down. He was both surprised and happy. If Wang Xinrui was his comrade, there would be no obstacles to the communication between the two!
As soon as the door rang, Wang Xueqi opened the door and walked in, saying: "Brother, are you off work?"
Wang Xuelin frowned and said, "Knock before entering. This is the most basic courtesy!"
Wang Xueqi said with a smile: "I'm not an outsider, so why knock on the door?"
Wang Xuelin: "Er Bao, you are now on your own, so you should pay more attention to such details!"
Wang Xueqi said disapprovingly: "People nowadays don't stick to trivial matters, and you still ask me to pay attention to trivial matters..."
Wang Xuelin said seriously: "Tell me, what is the most important thing in doing business?"
Wang Xueqi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask? Of course making money is the most important thing!"
"Wrong! It's integrity and character! Especially the latter, it will make people trust you. This is the way to do long-term business!"
"Brother, if Tong Tong hears these words, he will definitely say that you are making a mountain out of a molehill."
"Let me see, you are becoming more and more unruly because of her influence!"
Wang Xuequ bowed solemnly and said: "Brother, I was wrong, and I will definitely change it in the future!"
After saying this, he sat down and said, "Hey, brother, do you think Tong Tong has fallen in love with Jiang Xinyu?"
"I don't know." Wang Xuelin took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.
Wang Xueqi analyzed it himself and said: "A girl lives in a single man's house and refuses to leave. This must be what happened!"
"Is dad back?"
"I've been back a long time ago. I'm in the study room... Oops, I almost forgot. Dad asked me to call you. He said he wanted to talk to you about something!"
"Er Bao, you are really good at keeping dad waiting for so long!" Wang Xuelin stood up and walked out.
Wang Xueqi followed behind and repeatedly said: "Brother, don't say I forgot, just say you just came back..."
…………
In the study room.
Wang Jingmin was splashing ink in front of his desk, and a painting of red dragons and phoenixes appeared, which looked a bit like Wang Xizhi's charm.
Wang Xuelin knocked on the door twice, stepped in, and stood behind his father without disturbing him.
Wang Jingmin put the brush on the inkstone, admired his calligraphy for a while, and said: "Nowadays, there is a great demand for coarse cloth, and all the garrison departments are purchasing it. Your situation is not easy to handle."
Wang Xuelin: "Dad, is there nothing you can do?"
Wang Jingmin looked at him and said, "You have never been interested in business, why do you suddenly want to do the cloth business?"
"I'm doing a favor for my friend."
"Oh... Jinchang Printing and Dyeing Factory has a batch of goods, but it's a pity that they are defective products."
"What kind of defective product?"
"They made a mistake with the dye. They made it yellow instead of yellow and green. There were two or three colors on one piece of cloth."
"What color is the fabric?"
"That's a sample, you can see if it works."
A piece of folded coarse cloth was placed on the table. Wang Xuelin unfolded it and saw that it was dyed in the wrong color. The khaki color was mixed with turquoise, but fortunately it was not too obvious.
He thought for a moment and said, "Dad, how many pieces of this kind of fabric are there in total?"
"About three hundred."
"so much?"
"That's why they are eager to sell, otherwise, all their money will be tied up in it."
Wang Jingmin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said: "Xuelin, this kind of defective product has an advantage. The price is very cheap. I estimate that I can get at least 30% off!"
Wang Xuelin received instructions that his superiors did not have high requirements for the fabric. The most important thing was that it should be strong and durable, and the color should be mainly earthy yellow.
"Dad, let's do this. I'll take the sample and let my friend take a look. If he thinks it's OK, he can negotiate the price with Jinchang Printing and Dyeing Factory."
"Yeah, that's fine." Wang Jingmin put down his tea bowl and said, "Xuelin, there's something I want to ask you."
"You say."
"Actually, it's not me who wants to ask, it's your mother who wants to ask."
Wang Xuelin smiled and said: "Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Do you have a girlfriend outside?"
"……No."
"Really not?"
"Dad, can't you still trust me?"
"What is your relationship with that Miss Wang Xinrui?"
"Ah? How do you know Wang Xinrui?"
Wang Jingmin snorted and said: "The night before yesterday, you were arguing at the door, do you think I don't know?"
Wang Xuelin: "There was no tugging, we just talked for a while at the door."
"That's not what Xueqi said!"
"Er Bao likes to exaggerate on this kind of thing..."
"It's so late, and a man and a woman are alone together. Can you say that you are just ordinary friends?"
"Dad, this matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you later."
Wang Jingmin sighed and said: "Xuelin, you are not young anymore. It is said that you should find a marriage, marry a wife and have children to continue the Wang family. My Wang family has such a big family business, and the population is prosperous..."
"Sir, dinner is ready." The servant outside the door said.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xuelin hurriedly said: "Dad, you go to eat, I will send the fabric back first."
After saying this, Wang Xuelin walked out quickly. If he was a step behind, he would have to endure an endless tirade.
