Chapter 833 Mom, your question is so silly (good morning friends ^_^)
Walking all the way to Liu Jiwu's office, Xia Zejiang was covered in sweat. The sweat dripped down his skin and made his T-shirt stick to his body, making him very uncomfortable.
Seeing the three-story office building in front of him, Xia Zejiang hurriedly took a few steps. He knew that the air conditioning must be on there.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the glass door, I felt a chill covering my whole body, sweat evaporated from my body, and I felt chilly for a moment, and I shivered subconsciously.
"It's so comfortable!" Xia Zejiang exclaimed.
There is no need for this condition in the workshop. It is enough to reduce the temperature of the workshop to below 30 degrees, plus the electric fan blows to drive the air flow, and that's it!
In Liu Jiwu's office.
When Xia Zejiang knocked on the door and went in, someone happened to be chatting with him inside. He looked like he was in his thirties.
"Hey, Mr. Xia is here, sit down quickly." When Liu Jiwu saw it was Xia Zejiang, he warmly greeted him to sit down.
He asked: "Mr. Xia just came back? I went to the workshop to find you yesterday, and your worker Li said that you were away from home."
Xia Zejiang didn't expect Liu Jiwu to look for him, so he nodded: "I went to Jicheng and went back to school for my graduate defense. I just came back today."
At this time, another person in the room said politely: "Brother Liu, this is a brother. Why don't you introduce me to him?"
"Look at my brain, this is Brother Xia Ze Jiangxia, the general manager of Jiaze Packaging Co., Ltd." Liu Jiwang introduced him.
Xia Zejiang thought, the name you arranged for me is quite resounding...
Then I heard Liu Jiwu introduce: "Mr. Xia, this is Brother Zhai Guangdong, who is engaged in engineering."
Zhai Guangdong has been staring at Xia Zejiang since he came in. When Liu Jiwu introduced Xia Zejiang's name, Zhai Guangdong kept mumbling: "It looks like, it really looks like!"
"Brother Zhai, what do you think it looks like?" Liu Jiwu looked a little puzzled and asked.
Zhai Guangdong glanced at Liu Jiwu, thinking about the name he just introduced, then looked at Xia Zejiang and asked him: "Do you have an older brother?"
"Yes!" Xia Zejiang admitted graciously.
Then I heard Zhai Guangdong continue to ask: "Your brother's name is Xia Zekai?"
"Mr. Zhai, have you met my brother?" Xia Zejiang couldn't think of any other reason.
Hearing his admission, Zhai Guangdong put a smile on his face: "I have seen it before. My wife and your brother are classmates. They organized a class reunion this year. I also happened to meet Boss Xia at the meeting."
Having said this, Zhai Guangdong took out his wallet and took out a plastic-sealed photo. The background looked like a hotel, and there were only two people in the photo.
One of them is Zhai Guangdong, and the other Xia Zekai is very familiar with him, he is his brother.
"This...Brother Zhai, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xia Zejiang called out wittily.
Zhai Guangdong laughed and said, "Brother Xia, I'm glad to meet you."
When Liu Jiwu saw that they were really destined, he kept saying, "What a coincidence."
"It's quite a coincidence. Brother Xia came in just now and I felt he looked familiar. When Brother Liu introduced his name, I knew he wasn't running away." Zhai Guangdong said with a smile.
He said: "Well, we met because we were destined. I will be the host at noon today and invite Brother Liu and Brother Xia to have a light meal together."
"Brother Zhai, why are you so embarrassed? I'll do it if you want." Xia Zejiang felt that he couldn't let others do it. Besides, he had something to do with Liu Jiwu!
Liu Jiwu also remembered it, and said at the right time: "Eating is a small matter, and it has come to my territory, so I must have invited you."
Then he asked: "Brother Xia, why did you come to see me?"
"Brother Liu, to be honest, I'm here to cause trouble for you." Xia Zejiang heard that Liu Jiwu had changed his title, so he also called him 'brother'. Considering his age, he couldn't even call him 'Brother'.
Don't suffer.
"Say it!" Liu Jiwu did not shirk the blame as soon as he came up.
Xia Zejiang said truthfully: "Brother Liu, it's too hot in our workshop, it's 36 to 7 degrees Celsius. Summer has just begun. How will people live the day after tomorrow?"
"Brother Liu, see if there is any way to help solve this problem."
"The only option is to install air conditioning." Liu Jiwu said.
Xia Zejiang thought he had agreed and was secretly happy, but the next moment he realized that his thoughts were too shallow.
Liu Jiwu continued: "Brother Ke Xia, it's not that I don't agree, it's just that if you install air conditioners here, they have to be installed in other places as well. This is a big expense for me."
"You should know that the rental price I give you is very cheap in the surrounding area. I invested hundreds of millions in loans and the interest alone is a huge expense every year. I also have difficulties!"
Having said that, Liu Jiwu didn't say anything else. Even if Xia Zejiang had a background, it would not matter. This was related to his own pocket and wallet. This workshop is equipped with air conditioning. Should other companies that rent his workshop follow suit?
Install air conditioning?
If this goes back and forth, at least several million will be gone, and he will definitely not agree.
He said: "Let me put it this way, the air conditioners in the office buildings behind are installed by each company themselves, and then dismantled when they leave."
The meaning is more obvious, just figure it out yourself!
Xia Zejiang came with this possibility in mind. He was not angry, but smiled and said, "If I install it myself, it will be no problem."
"That's definitely no problem. Brother Xia just needs to pay the electricity bill on time." Liu Jiwu laughed and said.
At this time, Zhai Guangdong next to him rolled his eyes and interjected: "Brother Xia, do you need to install air conditioning?"
Xia Zejiang nodded, it must be necessary. It would be very lively if there were a few people suffering from severe heatstroke on this hot day.
Seeing him nodding, Zhai Guangdong continued: "Brother Xia, you also know that I am engaged in engineering. I happen to have a batch of disassembled second-hand air conditioners over there. If you don't mind, I can dispose of them cheaper for you."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the installation and debugging. If you have any questions later, please contact me."
"Thank you, I will sell them sooner or later. I originally planned to save a batch and sell them together. Brother Xia just doesn't think they are too shabby." Zhai Guangdong said.
Xia Zejiang quickly said: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it!"
"When will it be installed? I'll ask them to prepare it." Zhai Guangdong asked.
Xia Zejiang looked at the time and said, "Brother Zhai, let's have lunch first. If it works out, how about you help me install it in the afternoon."
"But as for money, I'm a little tight lately. I have to settle this month's payment next month before I give it to you."
"That's it... don't worry about money. Let's start the installation tomorrow morning. I have to let them check and clean them. They have just been disassembled and haven't been cleaned yet, but they are dirty." Zhai Guangdong said bluntly.
Do things clearly, this is his philosophy.
Xia Zejiang stopped worrying for a long time and said: "Okay, I'll go back to the workshop first, and I'll come over with my partner later and invite Brother Zhai and Brother Liu to have dinner together."
Gu Yao
After he finished speaking, he left, leaving Liu Jiwu and Zhai Guangdong in the office.
Liu Jiwu also asked: "Brother Zhai, do you really know Xia Zekai?"
Zhai Guangdong scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and said: "My wife happened to be a classmate with him in college. Their class organized a 10th anniversary class reunion in the first half of this year. They asked me to bring their families, so I went along to join in the fun. Who was it?
I know Xia Zekai has also gone."
"I really didn't expect it!" Liu Jiwu sighed.
He said: "According to what you said, it seems that Brother Xia and Xia Zekai are really brothers."
"Hey, Brother Liu, how do you say this?" Zhai Guangdong was confused and didn't understand why Liu Jiwu said that.
Liu Jiwu told the whole story, and finally talked about his suspicions and the fact that Xia Zejiang was getting married on June 19th.
"Brother Liu, listen to me. You must not have run away. Otherwise, they look similar and have similar names. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
After Zhai Guangdong finished speaking, he remembered the wedding day and asked: "Brother Liu, does he know where they held the banquet?"
"Brother Xia told me last time that it was held at Qicheng Hotel." Liu Jiwu remembered it and said it smoothly.
He then came back to his senses and said, "Brother Zhai is going there too?"
"Let's go. I wait for people to eat every day, and I don't even know what I want to eat. If I have this opportunity, I will go over and have a meal." Zhai Guangdong said.
Liu Jiwu smiled and said to him: "Brother Zhai, your meal is not cheap!"
"Brother Liu, isn't this a joke? It only costs one or two thousand yuan. I want to get some work. Even if I give a gift, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan. This project is really hard to do now. No.
I can't even find a place to give gifts if I have any connections." Zhai Guangdong cursed.
Who says it is not the case? This is one of the reasons why Liu Jiwu is living on rent and does not want to start his own business.
He doesn't have any good projects, and he's also tired of this kind of social world where you come and go. Now that it's not a one-and-done thing, at least he's getting less money, so he's not so tired anymore.
I used to serve my 'master' outside every day, but now I serve my wife and children at home. Can the mood be the same?
When Xia Zejiang returned to the workshop, he told Shen Jiayi the good news just now. Shen Jiayi didn't expect that things went so smoothly. Although it was a second-hand air conditioner, it might be fine.
When they are just starting out, they have to keep everything simple, save what they can, and do better things later when they make money.
"Let's do it this way, I can't stand the bargain price of second-hand goods." Shen Jiayi said.
Xia Zejiang convened people to tell the good news. After hearing what he said, a group of workers were very grateful to him and felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
I am more active when working.
They used to work in other places, and no one cared about their feelings. It’s just hot, and it’s not all the same in the summer. Who would be kind enough to help you buy an air conditioner to cool down?
Near noon, Xia Zejiang and Shen Jiayi drove away together and invited Liu Jiwu and Zhai Guangdong to have a meal together.
Xia Zejiang knows very well that now that he has graduated, he will not be able to rely on his brother for everything in the future. He must now build his own circle of friends, even if it is just friends who come for food and drinks, he will slowly filter them out later!
Look, Zhai Guangdong, who I just met, is helping me solve my problems!
There is a saying that is right, many friends lead to many paths, and the more friends, the easier the path will be!
But Xia Zejiang has come a long way, and he has to make it clear that you will have more friends only when you are at your own level.
This doesn’t sound good, but it’s reality!
…
After Xia Zekai finished his day's work, he came back in a hurry and went to the kindergarten to pick up Yatou and Tongtong who had just finished school. They didn't want to go home.
"Dad, please take us to play in the park opposite." The girl pointed to Qisheng Lake Park and said.
After the two people fell into the water and drowned during the last Dragon Boat Festival, the park was closed for a week for safety renovations. Now it has been unsealed, and warning signs have been put up in many places.
The railing is raised a little higher, making it less easy for children to climb. Adults generally won't do such childish behavior.
Xia Zekai had nothing else to do, so he said, "Let's go, but you two have to promise me not to climb the railing."
"Tsk, only children climb the railings." Tongtong immediately said this sentence.
Xia Zekai was speechless. Aren't you a child?
The three of them waited for the traffic to disappear and walked quickly towards the park on the other side of the road. Cui Xiaofeng followed closely behind to prevent accidents from happening.
It was a sweltering day at home, but as soon as they entered the park, they felt a cool breeze blowing over them. The wind was very gentle and not harsh when it hit them, making them feel particularly comfortable.
You can still hear the rustling of leaves and smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
The two little sisters were already shouting loudly: "Ah, it's so comfortable and cool!"
"That's right, dad, let go of my hand!" Tongtong was about to run a few steps.
Xia Zekai said: "No, if you keep messing around, I will take you home right now."
In the park in the evening, there were many people coming to take a walk in the shade, and with the lake on one side two adults deep, he didn't dare to cause trouble.
Tongtong felt bored and shook his father's hand hard, but he couldn't shake it away.
"Dad, you are so boring!" Tongtong began to criticize Xia Zekai.
The girl giggled on the side.
Xia Zekai was carrying a pair of lovely girls, which made many passersby envious. Some people stopped to say hello to the girl, Tongtong and the two sisters.
Even though Tongtong is fierce when fighting, she is usually quite polite to others.
When people greeted her, she would wave her little hands and respond with a sweet smile.
After all, the girl was a little more timid than she was. When someone greeted her, she subconsciously leaned toward her father and then responded with a smile.
Xia Zekai observed this detail and thought to himself: "The boss is a bit overwhelmed. She needs to be trained."
After walking around in the park, when I got home, Luo Xiyun had come back early, dinner was ready, and said to them, "You three still know how to come back for dinner."
"Mom, what you said is so silly, won't you be hungry if you don't eat?" Tongtong said, raising her little head.
Luo Xiyun was speechless.
Xia Zekai burst out laughing.
Luo Xiyun was so angry that she wanted to beat Tongtong, which made the little guy run around the room, making the family even happier.
