The Era of Hard Work

It was already dark, and a Santana drove out of the East Outer Ring Road and turned onto the main road leading to Qingzhao. On the newly erected light poles on the roadside, bright yellow lights illuminated the road.

Lu Dong slightly adjusted the seat belt, and the rear high beams were on. He quickly checked the rearview mirror to make sure there was no problem. He turned slightly and leaned to the right, and the cart pulling goods passed by on the left.

Huh-huh-

Several large vehicles passed by in a row. Lu Dong slowed down appropriately. Recently, he often runs Qingzhao, and he is very familiar with the road conditions. The University City is under construction. This road has a lot of trucks running through the University City at night, and some sections of the road are not well repaired. The place where it was pressed out was filled with countless potholes.

Lu Dong reminded Song Na on the co-pilot: Sit down, the bumps are about to start.

Song Na grabbed the handle on the top of the car door with one hand, and said with a smile, It's just a sedan chair.

In some places, the potholes are contiguous, and cars can't hide from them.

The lights are bright ahead, and we come to the toll booth between Quannan and Qingzhao.

Just as Lu Dong was asking for change, Song Na had already handed over the ten yuan she had prepared in advance.

You are here, I don't have to worry about many things. Lu Dong paid the money and collected the ticket, so that the bill can be paid later.

After waiting for the toll booth, Song Na said: They are all in the same city, and there is still a fee. The green photos you get don't seem to be in Quannan.

Lu Dong pointed to the northwest: Did you see the yard of the road station when you came here? Such a toll station can provide at least a dozen or twenty jobs. Maybe it's still being edited.

Song Na is also in business, so it is inevitable to think about things from the perspective of a businessman: But it has increased the transportation cost of the enterprise.

Lu Dong said helplessly: This is the current environment, we can only adapt.

The road conditions were better, Song Na sat on the driver's seat for a while, looked at Lu Dong and said, Lv Dong, I am lucky to have you.

Lu Dong understood what she meant, and stretched out his right hand to pat Song Na's hand: Heidan, we are supporting each other and making progress together, without you encouraging me, without you accompanying me and urging me, how would I progress?

Song Na shook Lu Dong's hand, then quickly let go: Drive well.

The phone rang, Song Na took it out of her bag and connected it.

Dad? I'm not in Quannan. Song Na looked at Lu Dong and said, Lu Dong and I are on the way, heading back, and we'll be there in about ten minutes.

Lu Dong pricked up his ears, but couldn't hear the words on the phone, so he could only analyze what Song Na said.

Song Na said again: Dinner is over, I ate it in Quannan. Okay, I'll go to the store first...

After hanging up the phone, Song Na looked at Lu Dong: I'll go to the store first when I go back.

Lu Dong replied, Okay.

Song Na asked, Are you going to Quannan tomorrow?

Lu Dong thought for a while and said: I spent most of the time in Quannan before the year. The store here is stable, so I have to prepare to open a new store. I don't have any other people at present. It's hard to find a vice president of business. Look. Is there any chance to poach someone from KFC or McDonald's?

Song Na understands the current personnel dilemma: Our small temple is looked down upon by other great gods.

Lu Dong echoed: That's true.

The company is small, although it is flexible and changeable, it is difficult to attract high-end talents.

Song Na said again: Tomorrow and next week, I won't accompany you there. There are a lot of classes recently, and I should pay more attention to the new store of the South Service Textile College.

Lu Dong thought of the possibility of buying and selling in the south, and told him: Brother and sister-in-law moved to Wenyuan, the school. You have their phone number, so if you have any problems, call them directly.

Song Na is a woman, and she knows her natural disadvantages: Okay, if something really happens, I won't push it hard. She added: I have to spend more time to see Sister Juan, the due date is less than a month away, she is a little anxiety.

Lu Dong replied: I heard from Qian Feng that Lao Qian has two projects in his hands and is busy running around. You might as well go and see Sister Juan more often.

Song Na asked: Sister Juan has a child, what should we give?

Lu Dong thought about it for a while: You go to buy some more and see if there is any Longevity Lock for sale, the silver one is the best... Well, the Longevity Lock, plus two silver bracelets, are neither expensive nor cheap, just right.

He added: I pay for it.

Song Na laughed and said intentionally, You owe me a lot of money.

Lu Dong said, I'll give it back to you later.

Song Na shook her head: I don't want it, so I will let you owe it. I will wait for you to owe more and more, and then I will calculate the interest with you, so that you will never pay it off for the rest of your life.

Lu Dong said casually: Then I will pay it back in two lifetimes.

These words came out casually, but they could reflect their sincerity. Song Na heard it in her ears and remembered it in her heart, and she was very happy.

Two lives is not enough, at least ten lives!

Entering the university town, the street lights became brighter. At the intersection of the middle school, Lu Dong turned left to go to the store, put Song Na at the door of the warm store, went in and said hello to Lao Song and his wife, and then drove back to Lujia Village.

Lao Song watched Santana go away, and seeing that there was no one in the store, he said to Song Na, Nizi, come here, I'll ask you something.

Song Na washed her hands and came to the counter: Dad, what's the matter?

Lao Song opened his chair and sat down, and asked: Nizi, there are some things that I can see, and I have never asked you. Both your mother and I know that you have a lot of opinions, and you never let us worry about it since you were a child.

Song Na was not stupid, and immediately guessed what her father wanted to ask, and it must have something to do with Lu Dong.

Song Ma came over and gave a glass of water: We just ask, so I can rest assured.

From working in the gravel yard to doing business here, Song Na didn't hesitate all the way, drinking saliva and smiling: Dad, Mom, just ask if you have anything.

Old Song coughed lightly and asked, Nizi, are you and Lu Dong talking about friends?

They had noticed it a long time ago, but they kept pretending to be confused and didn't ask, because Lu Dong was here all day, which was reassuring.

Song Na generously admitted: Yes.

You're older, so I won't say anything. Lao Song knew that he was not capable. The girl's ability to go to college and go to college was largely dependent on herself. She really had to rely on her family. I couldn't afford it, so I just said: You and Lu Dong are old classmates, and you know everything about him. Your mother and I can see who Lu Dong is. If it were someone else, I would definitely object. Lu Dong...is a Good job.

Song Na murmured in her heart: sometimes she is as stupid as a piece of wood.

But her parents did not object, and she was very happy.

In TV dramas, there are always bloody things. Parents will break up people at every turn, and they will die at every turn.

It’s better to be your own parents. It’s not because the first child is a girl, you have to have another boy, and because she is a girl, like many girls of the same age in the village, she has to drop out of school early to work for her younger brother.

Although her life was hard and tiring until she was in high school, and she had done all the work in the fields and even in the mountains to earn money since she was a child, but she felt very lucky to have such enlightened parents.

Song Na's mother said at this time: Nizi, our store is located in a university town. I have seen a lot and heard a lot of college students talking about friends. Many of them lived together early...

Mom! Song Na called out.

Song's mother still said: We are a traditional family, it doesn't matter if you talk about friends with Lu Dong, there are some things to pay attention to.

The simple people who come from the mountains are unavoidable to worry about some things.

Song Na understood this and said, Mom, I know.

Song Ma said: Okay, I won't say much, as long as you understand. Let's have a meal together when Lu Dong is free.

Song Na thought for a while, and said, It might not be possible recently. He opened several new stores in Quannan, so he has to go to Quannan every day.

Lao Song answered, We'll talk about it when he's free, don't worry.

Some students came in to buy things outside, and they wanted to buy gifts after they came in. Song Na stopped thinking about it and took out the gifts to recommend to others.

After being busy in the store for a while, Song Na went back to the school dormitory. After class the next morning, she went to the newly opened store in the south. She also recruited new people in the store, which is currently in the trial stage, so she should pay more attention.

After staying in the store for a while, I met with Natasha who had made an appointment at Lu's Catering Company to discuss investing and starting a company together.

Natasha has the example of Big Ivan in front of her, and she has a strong intention to cooperate with Song Na.

The two asked Xu Man clearly about the procedures and materials needed for company registration, and planned to spend the next week to complete the registration of the new company.

With Natasha around, many things are actually easy to handle.

…………

On Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, Lu Dong parked his car, came up from the underground parking lot of the commercial building, and came to the door of the store. He happened to see a tourist group coming from Baotu Spring Park. Many people stopped the tour guide and ran into Burger King. buy food.

There is Quannan Square in the south, Daming Lake in the north, Baotu Spring and Wulongtan in the west, and Pedestrian Street and Furong Street in the east.

I can't eat this tourist meal. What I eat at noon is nothing. A southern accent gnawed on the burger and complained: There are only a few vegetable leaves in the soup, which are boiled with water and salt. You can't even see the oil.

Another said: There are still vegetables, they are so unpalatable...

The person next to him gnawed on the chicken leg and said, It's still delicious fast food.

There are dozens of people in the tour group, and there must be a dozen people who come in to buy things.

This group had just left, and another group came from Daming Lake in the north. After playing for most of the afternoon, they were tired and hungry. The tour guide simply let people have free time, strolled around the famous Quannan Golden Street, and then assembled after an hour.

Many people immediately went into the nearest stores, the three stores of Lu's Catering and the restaurant on the east side, and people went in to buy things.

There are many people in Ximen, and most of them come from the west, north, and south. When they see the restaurants on the first floor of Qiansheng Commercial Building, they will inevitably give priority to them.

Six catering shops are opened here, and the aggregation effect also brings a blocking effect.

Lu Dong stood in front of the store and observed for a while. Burger King, Lu's Malatang and Hot Pot have just opened, and this aspect has already been reflected.

Someone from the side came over and took the initiative to say hello: Boss Lu.

Lu Dong turned his head and found that it was Guangmei's person. He went over to shake hands: Mr. Fan, are you just here?

This President Fan also participated in the opening ceremony yesterday, and said with a smile, This is about to open, so don't worry if you don't come to see it every day.

Lu Dong wanted to talk to him about something, so he said, I'm curious about electrical appliances stores, can I go and have a look.

Mr. Fan invited: Let's go together.
