Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

They are also state-owned restaurants, but the ones in provincial capitals are a bit better than those in counties.

Seeing how Liu Xiaohui was ordering food skillfully, she must have been eating out a lot.

Guarding schools and hospitals and not eating in such affordable canteens, she is really a prodigal woman.

It is said that a daughter should be rich and well-off. Is this so true?

Wan Zi Tou has not been raised rich, but he is also very good.

"Zhang Ziming, you probably didn't come to Qicheng specifically to inquire about your mother-in-law's condition, right?"

While waiting for the food to be served, Liu Xiaohui started to ask.

How to answer this?

Yes and no.

It is very urgent to complete the second transaction with Zhou Jincheng;

It was also planned to treat my mother-in-law, so I thought I would stop by on the way this time.

During the summer vacation, I and Wan Zitou will bring my mother-in-law over for hospitalization.

"Well, that's not really it. I have some work matters to deal with."

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

Helping the village set up a factory and raising funds yourself can be considered a work matter, right?

You can’t say that you are here to sell sapphires, right?

Regarding sapphire, it has been kept secret and covered up.

"Then where do you live?"

Listening to Zhang Ziming's answer, Liu Xiaohui was still not sure whether he was working in Qicheng?

Could it be that you came here on a business trip?

When she heard that Zhang Ziming was staying at the Qicheng Hotel, Liu Xiaohui was extremely surprised and frowned in confusion at the same time.

What's the situation?

How much does it cost to stay in Qicheng Hotel for 18 yuan a night?

Where would Zhang Ziming, who looks like a poor man, live?

Did you say this just to save face?

This shouldn't be such a character, right?It's hard to say, people always change.

"Qicheng Hotel is not cheap. Are you willing to give it up?"

No matter what, I don't believe that Zhang Ziming can stay in Qicheng Hotel, even though he is clearly wearing a watch on his hand.

If you don’t guarantee everything, you’re borrowing it. These days, many people will borrow an outfit when they go out.

"Hey, when you go out, you can't lose yourself. Otherwise, how can you do business?"

This is true, Zhang Ziming has always been like this.

But to the ears of my old classmates, these words were just trying to keep up appearances.

Liu Xiaohui felt that her judgment was correct, and then she became disdainful again, and her interest in continuing the conversation was not that high.

Thinking of helping Zhang Ziming just now, Liu Xiaohui insisted on finishing the lunch with Zhang Ziming.

It's almost time, Zhang Ziming has to go back to Qicheng Hotel.

If Zhou Jincheng's schedule was not delayed, he should start rushing from the airport to Qicheng Hotel at this time.

Liu Xiaohui had to go back to the hospital, and the two parted ways after coming out of the restaurant.

I saw that Zhang Ziming took the No. 2 bus, which was indeed the direction of Qicheng Hotel.

Is it possible that we really stayed in Qicheng Hotel?Or are you going in that direction on purpose?

Liu Xiaohui's beautiful eyebrows couldn't get rid of this knot.

Zhang Ziming was in a happy mood. After all, he had met an acquaintance.

Next time I bring my mother-in-law here, I hope the procedures will be smoother after all.

You also treat yourself to lunch, Liu Xiaohui should be able to handle it, right?

If Wan Zitou knew that Liu Xiaohui invited him to lunch, he wouldn't be suspicious.

It was just a normal lunch, and I had to help myself first.

It's a beautiful thought, but everyone knows that Liu Xiaohui doesn't take you to heart.

When I returned to Qicheng Hotel, I calculated the time in my mind and did not go back to my room.

Just wait here in the front lobby. If everything goes well, we should be there within half an hour.

The girl at the front desk also looked at Zhang Ziming with some curiosity. The reason why she was curious was because of Zhang Ziming's behavior.

The letter of introduction was very clear, it was signed and stamped by a village.

Therefore, it is certain that Zhang Ziming came from the countryside, and his old clothes can match his appearance.

However, she happened to stay in Qicheng Hotel, which cost more than ten yuan a night. Her salary was only enough to stay for two nights.

The girl at the front desk is really confused about this handsome young man sitting in the lobby.

He looks good and has a watch. If he wears new clothes, he looks like a college student.

Zhang Ziming looked at the time from time to time, not knowing whether Zhou Jincheng would come alone or with someone.

I told him very clearly that it depends on how much money he can bring.

As half an hour passed, Zhou Jincheng had not arrived at Qicheng Hotel yet.

Could it be that the plane is also delayed?

There were no mobile phones at this time. It would be so convenient to have a mobile phone to contact me.

If he still doesn't come, he can go back to his room and rest. It's comfortable to lie on the bed.

He stood up and looked outside the door, just in time to see Zhou Jincheng walking towards Qicheng Hotel with a puffy belly.

Now that he saw it, Zhang Ziming hurried over to greet him.

"Ah Ming, have you been waiting for a long time? I was rushing in a hurry. It took me a while to get here from the airport."

"Brother Zhou, as you said, let's go and find a room to rest first."

Looking at the two canvas bags Zhou Jincheng was carrying, one of them probably contained money.

The room was opened next to Zhang Ziming's for the convenience of talking.

"Brother Zhou, you need to rest for a while. I'll come back to you later."

After entering the door, I had to be polite, even though I was anxious to discuss business.

"A Ming, I see you're being polite. No need to rest. Let's chat first. The sapphires were handled very smoothly last time. Lao Zhou, I still want you to talk about a long-term cooperation. How about it?"

Long-term cooperation is of course a good thing, no matter who it is.

But if you sell sapphires every three days, the location will definitely be exposed.

"Brother Zhou, I also want to cooperate for a long time, but it is also difficult."

"Just like this time, we were trading in Qicheng. That's because I didn't go home from Guangcheng and went directly to my relatives' house in Shenyang. It was not easy to get these back."

"I haven't gone home yet? I just wanted to trade quickly, so I called you in Shenyang and agreed to trade here. I have to go home early tomorrow morning."

Anyway, today’s phones don’t have caller ID, so it’s wherever it says it is.

Zhou Jincheng was also wondering in his mind which sentence was true and which sentence was false.

Didn't go home from Guangcheng and went directly to Shenyang?

The call was from Shenyang?

It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it. Let's take a look at how many sapphires are prepared.

"A Ming, you said on the phone that there are a lot of things. How much do you have? These two canvas bags, Lao Zhou, are full of money."

He pointed to the canvas bags on the ground, two canvas bags of the same size.

That's right, the money for a canvas bag is not enough.

This time, I brought all the inventory at home, except for the ones I went up to the mountain with the Yang brothers to look for the first time. Later, when I passed by, I went there a few more times.

The one-pound piece was naturally left at the bottom of the box.

"Brother Zhou, the things are definitely worth your two bags of money. You take a bath and rest for a while, and I will bring the things to your room later."

If you need to stretch, you have to stretch.Who allows the buyer to fly over from Guangcheng?

"A Ming, no rest. I'm very pressed for time. I have to take a flight back tomorrow morning." Zhou Jincheng looked anxious.

"So anxious? Don't you want to stay here and have some fun?"

No wonder both bags were filled with money, and they didn’t even bring a change of clothes.
