Zhang Yong said politely: "Director Ma has always wanted to meet Mr. Xia, and it just so happened that this time he came to discuss a project with the Jicheng City Government."
Saying this made Xia Zekai feel that he was much more important in Lao Manali than the Jicheng City Government.
He said: "Okay, what day? I invite you."
"The 29th, next Monday." Zhang Yong said.
Xia Zekai circled the day of the 29th on the calendar on his desk, and then wrote in small words that the old horse is coming, be careful -_-||.
Xia Zekai was still very wary of him. This guy was definitely a model of not being able to do anything early without profit.
Neither of them knew each other before, but Xia Zekai didn't believe that he just made a special trip to meet him, nor did he believe that it was just because Baby Jingtong had a sales volume of over 20 million on Double Eleven.
One of the three stores, he must have other purposes, but he won't say it.
"Mr. Zhang, call me when you get to Jicheng." Xia Zekai said.
Zhang Yong responded and ended the call.
Xia Zekai said to himself: "I didn't expect Lao Ma to come here on his own. What business is he discussing with the Jicheng City Government?"
Today's Taobao is not that awesome. It will take a few years for Taobao to really become popular, and even Jack Ma will be better.
If he couldn't think of it, Xia Zekai stopped thinking about it.
Half a day passed unknowingly, and Xia Zekai came back from outside wearing a black coat. When he got to the office, he couldn't help but stamp his feet. When he went out, his feet were so cold that he couldn't feel anything.
He couldn't help but curse: "Why is it so cold? Damn it."
After muttering, let's go ahead and do whatever we need to do.
Xia Zekai can understand this very well.
After driving away from the company, Xia Zekai went home directly. The fact that Lao Ma was coming over was not publicized to everyone.
Xia Zekai thought that it would be nice to treat him to a family dinner and have everyone sit down and chat together.
Returning to the community, Xia Zekai parked his car in the underground parking garage and took the elevator to the 16th floor. Yatou and Tongtong had already been picked up by his wife.
Seeing her father coming back, the girl ran over immediately: "Dad, I got a certificate today."
Xia Zekai wondered: "What certificate?"
The girl quickly went to the sofa next to her and opened her schoolbag. She clumsily took out a chapter of paper and showed it to Xia Zekai like a treasure. She said, "Dad, look, this is the certificate the teacher gave me."
Xia Zekai opened the folded certificate and looked at it. It read: "After comprehensive evaluation, child Xia Jingya won the honorable title of 'Best Child' in the kindergarten affiliated to the Municipal Government Primary School."
The name of the kindergarten affiliated to the municipal primary school is also written below, and it has an official seal. It looks like that.
But that's not the point.
The next moment, Xia Zekai put his hands under the girl's armpits and lifted her up: "Wow, girl is so good, you even gave her a certificate."
"Yes, yes, I'm so good, the teacher even praised me." The girl said proudly.
Xia Zekai thought, it's really possible to bribe you with a certificate that costs not even a dime!
When he was praising the girl, he also saw Tongtong sitting next to him playing with himself, with a disappointed expression on his face.
This made Xia Zekai feel bad. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what was going on. Tongtong probably wasn't selected.
Xia Zekai thought, this 'happy teacher' really doesn't know how to do things.
Between the two sisters, if you only give one of them a favor while the other stares at them, isn't this treating them differently and instigating trouble?
After he put the girl down, he moved closer to his second son: "Tongtong, what are you thinking about?"
"Dad, my sister has a certificate, and sister Amy also has a certificate, but I don't have a certificate." As he spoke, Tongtong let out a "wow" and burst into tears.
No matter how smart and naughty she usually is, she is even the top dog in the kindergarten, but she is still a child, and she couldn't bear it anymore. When she saw her father, she cried directly.
Luo Xiyun, who was busy frying steak in the kitchen, heard her daughter crying, and she asked: "Tongtong, what's wrong with you?"
The steak was almost done cooking and she couldn't leave.
Xia Zekai said: "You go about your business, and I'll coax her."
After he finished speaking, he looked down at his daughter in his arms: "Tongtong, we are good children. Why are you crying? The teacher won't give you a certificate. Dad will get you a bigger certificate, bigger than my sister's. Okay."
no."
Tongtong couldn't tell the difference between the certificate given by the kindergarten and the certificate given to her by her father. But when her father said he would give her a certificate, the little fat girl immediately became happy. She wiped away the tears on her face and wiped
He pinched his nose, and two sticky noodles hung between his nose and the back of his hand. They stretched longer and longer, looking like they could break at any time.
After Xia Zekai saw it, he quickly took some tissue paper from the table next to her and wiped it clean for her.
"Oh, Tongtong, look how dirty you are, why are you crying again?"
Tongtong didn't care whether it was dirty or not. She stared at her father and asked him: "Really?"
Xia Zekai nodded vigorously: "Really, dad won't lie to you, I will give you a certificate tomorrow."
Then, Xia Zekai saw Tongtong become happy, jumping around in circles, shouting: "Oh, I also have a certificate."
She even ran up to the girl and shouted with a bit of showoff and pride: "Sister, I want to get a certificate too, dad gave it to me."
"Huh, I have it now." The girl couldn't tell the difference between what the teacher gave her and what her father gave her. Anyway, she already had a certificate.
After Luo Xiyun cooked the steak, she came out of the kitchen with it. She saw that Tongtong had turned around again and wondered: "Zekai, what happened just now."
"It's okay. The girl got a certificate of merit, but Tongtong didn't. This is not crying anymore."
Xia Zekai said proudly: "I will get her a certificate of merit tomorrow."
Luo Xiyun understood what he said and couldn't help but say to him: "You are really capable."
"Just so-so." Xia Zekai waved his hand lightly, don't praise me.
"Daughter-in-law, I haven't noticed for a few days, but you have been playing around with Western things recently." Xia Zekai pointed to the six irregular round steaks on the plate and asked: "Are we going to eat this tonight?"
"There's also pasta. Just watch them first, and I'll make it right now." Luo Xiyun put down the plate of steak and entered the kitchen wearing an apron.
After she finished the operation and called Xia Zekai to come in and help carry the plates, several plates of pasta of various colors were ready.
Xia Zekai also asked her: "Who did you learn this from?"
"What else do you need to learn? Just buy it ready-made and process it yourself. Even the seasoning packets are prepared."
"Curry flavor, chicken flavor, tomato flavor, beef sauce, everything is available. These people are really smart." Luo Xiyun said with a teasing tone.
Xia Zekai couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to make money, there are plenty of ways."
"But when I went to the store to buy it, the store was full of people rushing to buy it. They really made a fortune," Luo Xiyun said.
But she doesn't envy her family because they earn more.
Xia Zekai looked at her funny: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. Why do I think this thing doesn't taste good when it's cold?"
"Eat yours!" Luo Xiyun rolled his eyes at him, he was really uninterested.
Xia Zekai pulled the so-called "spaghetti" and stuffed it into his mouth. He tasted black pepper. This "spaghetti" was a bit hard.
Xia Zekai took a few bites and said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, Ma Yun is coming over next Monday, why don't you come with me?"
"Jack Ma? Is he the boss of Taobao you mentioned?" Luo Xiyun finally remembered this time.
Xia Zekai nodded: "That's him. He wants to come over and meet me."
"He came here specifically to see you?" Luo Xiyun asked him, why did he feel so unreliable?
Xia Zekai said: "He also wants to go to Jicheng to discuss a project with the Jicheng City Government."
"Hey, I'm telling you, I just happened to see you by the way!" Luo Xiyun consciously clarified his thoughts.
Xia Zekai didn't care, he said: "Ignorant people think so."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and ran away.
Luo Xiyun also came to his senses, threw away the knife and fork in his hand, stood up and chased him away, shouting: "You bastard...Xia Zekai, get here here, see if I can beat you to death."
All of a sudden, the house was in a state of chaos.
Yatou and Tongtong were still there pulling the spaghetti into their mouths, eating and watching the fun. The two little guys kept shouting: "Mom, come on, beat dad."
"Come on daddy!"
Good guy, one person supports the other, which is awesome!
The couple was a little tired from all the hard work. After sitting down, Luo Xiyun kept breathing heavily. She drank a glass of water before she could hold it down: "Next time, I'll beat you up."
"Daughter-in-law, you have healed your scar and forgot about the pain. I will take care of you later." Xia Zekai issued a male threat.
At night, Xia Zekai put Yatou and Tongtong to sleep early with purpose in mind. After that, his eyes kept wandering over his wife.
Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him, "Who is he?"
But Luo Xiyun still did not escape from Xia Laomo's clutches that night, and was beaten severely by Xia Zekai in the next room.
…
Saturday is a very happy day for Yatou and Tongtong, as they don't have to go to kindergarten.
Xia Zekai went out in the morning and went to the stationery store first. Seeing that it was already open, he went in and asked if he could reprint two certificates.
The owner of the stationery store looked at him strangely for a while. Xia Zekai felt a little uncomfortable and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll find another place."
"Brother, you can hit whatever you want!" The store owner is a woman with a very explosive figure and two volleyballs on her chest, which is also embarrassing for her.
After hearing Xia Zekai say he was leaving, she realized that business was coming.
"Brother, is your surname Xia?" the female boss asked.
She had noticed her feelings just now, and Xia Zekai admitted it graciously.
"I'm just telling you, you looked familiar to me as soon as you walked in." The female boss mumbled, turned on the computer, and said, "What are you printing."
"Based on the comprehensive evaluation of scripture writing, little boy Xia Tong is his father's 'excellent and well-behaved child', and he is specially rewarded with this status as an encouragement."
