The two of them walked and chatted. After leaving the street office, about two hundred meters, they entered the gate of another courtyard house.
Section Chief Qian walked in front and entered the reverse room by familiar means.
Du Fei followed in and found that the room was like a hotel, with three open rooms and tables and chairs.
Du Fei instantly realized that this was probably an illegal black shop!
But when I thought about it again, I thought it was impossible.
Moreover, he also saw Zhu Ting, sitting alone in the corner, eating silently.
Du Fei's mind raced and he already guessed that this was a canteen.
Section Chief Qian came in and took a quick look and saw Zhu Ting, but he didn't talk to her. Instead, he walked straight to the kitchen where the cooking was being done. As he walked, he shouted: "Old lady, add some meat dishes, we have a new comrade here."
After he finished speaking, a neatly dressed middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen. She glared at Section Chief Qian first, and then looked at Du Fei.
Section Chief Qian smiled "hehe" and introduced them to each other.
This woman is Section Chief Qian's wife. Through Section Chief Qian's relationship, she set up a small canteen here and provided lunch at the standard of two cents a day.
Because the prices are more affordable than restaurants, people like Du Fei and Zhu Ting, who are unwilling or unable to bring food, happened to come here for a bite at noon.
Although private operations are not allowed in this era, there are many small canteens where everyone pools money to build a restaurant.
As long as you don't hire workers, don't make huge profits, and have some connections, almost no one will care.
Section Chief Qian brought Du Fei here to introduce business to his family.
Not to mention, Section Chief Qian’s wife is really good at cooking! Although there is not much oil or water, the taste is definitely much better than Du Fei’s cooking at home.
Du Fei took a bite and decided on the spot that he would be here at noon.
Not only to give Section Chief Qian face, but also to save myself trouble.
Section Chief Qian was very happy. While eating, he told Du Fei a lot about his work experience and what he needed to pay attention to.
Especially the background of everyone in the office made Du Fei think about who he could touch and who he couldn't mess with if something happened.
After dinner, Section Chief Qian took Du Fei to a nearby car repair stall.
When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Du Fei excused himself to go shopping and bought two large boxes and gave them to Section Chief Qian.
Although Director Wang greeted him, he still had to be filial to his immediate boss, and Section Chief Qian was also very attentive to him.
If he didn't have the money to give instructions from the section chief, and Du Fei would just have to figure it out on his own, he wouldn't be able to figure out the depth of the people in the office in less than a year and a half.
Section Chief Qian was not polite, he smiled and accepted it directly.
The two of them left the supply and marketing cooperative and continued walking forward. From a distance, they saw a car repair stall next to the intersection.
Although it is just a street stall, it is also a serious public-private partnership and is hung under the neighborhood committee.
But at this moment, Du Fei suddenly discovered a familiar figure, Guo JiaTou and a green cotton-padded jacket, it was the eldest son of the Pretty Widow's family, Bangge!
Banggeng's eyes were wandering, looking around, sneaking around, coming to the car repair stall, mumbling something, and then opening the school bag he was carrying.
Master Wang at the stall stretched his neck to take a look and quickly shook his head.
Bangge was unwilling to give in and said something else.
But Master Wang still insisted on shaking his head and waving his hands to drive him away, so he had no choice but to leave.
When Du Fei saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He was afraid that this guy Bangge had done no good and had stolen something and was selling it here.
Du Fei suddenly stopped, which made Section Chief Qian slightly surprised. He followed his eyes and saw Bang Jie and asked, "Do you know that kid?"
"From the same hospital." Du Fei replied calmly.
"Oh~ this kid is very wild!" Section Chief Qian said something, as if to remind Du Fei.
Du Fei was noncommittal and did not continue.
The two came to the car repair stall. When Master Wang saw Section Chief Qian, he immediately smiled and took a few steps to meet him: "Ouch! Leader Qian, what kind of wind has brought you here?"
"Don't talk to me about these nonsense." Section Chief Qian scolded with a smile and handed Master Wang a cigarette. It was not the big front door that Du Fei honored him with, but an eight-cent-a-pack economy cigarette.
Master Wang didn't want to smoke it, so he put it under his nose, smelled it, and then clipped it to his ear.
Section Chief Qian pointed at Du Fei: "My new Xiao Du, you give me the whole car."
Master Wang hurriedly called Leader Du, but there was a troubled look on his face.
Section Chief Qian was a little unhappy and said in a deep voice: "What, are you having trouble?"
Master Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is a ready-made car, but it is a bit old, and it is still a 26-year-old car. I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it for this leader Du."
Section Chief Qian frowned when he heard this, but he did not make the decision without permission. Instead, he looked at Du Fei and asked him to make his own decision.
Du Fei didn't care about the old or new, but he was a little worried about whether he could ride it. Don't let something go wrong every now and then, which would delay things and make him upset.
When Du Fei expressed his worries, Master Wang dared to pat his chest and promise that the car would be fine for another ten or eight years.
Du Fei thought for a while and nodded to the former section chief.
Section Chief Qian helped ask about the price and asked Master Wang to push the car.
The smile on Master Wang's face became even stronger.
At this point, the deal is basically done today.
He never thought that Du Fei would buy a 26-car. Generally speaking, a man as big as Du Fei would definitely buy a 28-car with a big bumper. It is clear that the 26-car is one size smaller.
It’s almost meaningless.
Not long after, Master Wang rolled out a 60% new bicycle from the alley opposite.
Du Fei rode it for a while and thought it was okay.
Although it is an old bike pieced together using parts from different brands, Master Wang’s craftsmanship cannot be overemphasized. The bike is light to ride and does not make any messy noises.
Du Fei was quite satisfied that he could buy such a bicycle for forty-five yuan.
Thanks to the rich section chief who brought him here, Master Wang would have to pay him at least seventy yuan for this bicycle.
Even so, it is more than 100 yuan cheaper than buying a new car, and you can also save a bicycle ticket.
It's just that in this era, the management of bicycles is very strict. Without a strong connection, there is no way for such a patchwork of second-hand cars to go to the police station to be registered and stamped.
Most people can only be greedy but dare not take this risk.
Du Fei has a relationship with Chen Zhongyuan, so of course he doesn't have to worry about this. Moreover, according to Section Chief Qian's wishes, he can directly register the bicycle under the street office's name, then issue him a letter of introduction and go to the police station to complete the procedures.
However, buying a bicycle today is completely impromptu. Forty-five yuan is not a small sum in this era.
Du Fei works in the street office, and his monthly salary is only sixteen and a half yuan. No one usually carries around forty or fifty yuan.
Du Fei knew that his wealth should be kept secret. He came to report today. With the endorsement of Director Wang and a new outfit, he had already shown enough strength. There was no need to do anything shocking in front of Section Chief Qian.
Not only will this not increase the impression points, but it will only make Section Chief Qian think that others are stupid and have too much money, and it is not enough.
