The Era of Hard Work

After a morning run, he went back to his room and changed his clothes. Lu Dong came down from the second floor, and Hu Chunlan had already made breakfast.

While eating, Lu Dong asked, Mom, it's going to be a young year, and uncle won't come back this year?

I can't come back. Hu Chunlan just called two days ago: Your uncle's work gets busier as the holidays come. It seems that this year is particularly busy, and there is no holiday during the New Year.

She paused, and then said: I heard from your sister-in-law that your brother-in-law called your uncle a few days ago. I don't know what the brothers said, and finally they quarreled. Your sister-in-law scolded your brother-in-law next to you. , Originally your uncle was busy with work, but once this incident made a fuss, he was even less willing to come back.

Lu Dong didn't know what to say about the elders.

Hu Chunlan said again: Your uncle said, wait until you get engaged or get married and come back together.

Lu Dong thought of spending half the night with Song Na Hu Tianhu the night before, and seemed impulsive and didn't use any protective measures. Heidan said it was a safe period, so he should be fine.

Speaking of her natal brother, Hu Chunlan suddenly lost her appetite and put down her job: Fangfang from your uncle Jianyi's family came back yesterday. She married in Majia Village on the same street as your uncle. Going to make a fuss.

Lu Dong asked, Have you returned yet?

Why? Hu Chunlan shook her head, Hu Bin borrowed from five or six loan sharks.

Lu Dong said: In the business world, you have to admit that you have borrowed a usury loan. It is only natural to pay back the debt. After all, no one is forcing you to borrow.

Hu Chunlan sighed, and sometimes her heart softened, but thinking about the behavior of her natal brother's family, if she really had to pay back the money for them, her family would really have no peace in the future.

But for those who celebrate the new year, they can't even survive the year.

Hu Chunlan said: Dongzi, we don't care about repaying the money, and we can't control it. But we have to let people live a more stable life. You know a lot of people. The usury that Hu Bin borrowed should be from our county. Find someone to talk to, see if you can wait until the end of the new year to ask for it?

Lu Dong didn't want to care about it at first, but the old lady opened her mouth and replied: I'm not familiar with loan sharks, so I'll ask someone, it may not work, and those who lend money have to eat during the New Year.

Hu Chunlan said: Try it, if it doesn't work, forget it.

When going to the company, Lu Dong called Su Xiaoshan and Wang Dong respectively. He and Lu's Catering had nothing to do with private lending, so they could only ask.

If it doesn't work, Lu Dong will not spend his energy to do it. People like Hu Bin are not worth the effort to help.

Because I was talking to my old lady, I came to the company a little later than usual, and Lao Qiao and Qiao Weiguo and his son were already waiting in the reception room.

Didn't you say to pick it up? Lu Dong saw Qiao Weiguo's bald head and said, Why are you here?

Old Qiao said: It's so troublesome to have someone go to Qiao's Village again, and it doesn't matter how far it is. I will come here by riding a tricycle.

Qiao Weiguo said: My father is not at ease.

Lu Dong could tell that Qiao Weiguo was going to Fu Zhaoxia's house today, and told Old Qiao that finding a wife for his son was a big deal.

Therefore, without waiting for Lu Dong to send a car to pick him up, Lao Qiao dragged things and Qiao Weiguo from Qiao's Village to University City early in the morning, just to feel at ease.

In most of the villages in Qingzhao, Qiao Weiguo has not yet found a wife at this age, and gossip has been spread everywhere. After all, people who come to talk about his wife have never stopped.

Today is different from the past, no one cares about it before, but now Qiao Weiguo is a hot spot near Qiaojia Village.

After all, a celebrity who has been on TV.

After sitting down and having a conversation, Lao Qiao obviously couldn't sit still, so Lu Dong simply called Lu Kun and went to the underground parking lot with Lao Qiao and Qiao Weiguo.

Old Qiao drove a walking tricycle, and the bucket was full of things.

I dare not say anything else. In Qiaojia Village, the economic situation of Qiaowei Country is definitely one of the best.

Old Qiao lifted the covering cloth on the bucket and asked Lu Dong, Have you seen enough?

Lu Dong went over to take a look. There were cigarettes, wine, tea leaves, and some packaged gift boxes inside. There were more than a dozen pieces, and the packaging was not low-grade.

When the man goes to the woman's house for the first time, even if it is the central area of ​​Qingzhao where there are relatively few customs, it is impossible to bring only two or three things.

In the final analysis, this is a matter of saving face after all. The woman's face is good, and some things are easy to talk about.

Let the woman lose face in front of the neighbors in the neighborhood, then you have to talk about it.

Lu Dong had been to Song Na's house, so he had some experience, and said, I think it's ok.

The wine is Qingzhao Wang, the most high-grade Qingzhao, and the cigarette is Red General, which is the most frequently smoked by Quannan people, and everything else is good.

Fu Zhaoxia belonged to the first batch of employees of Lu's Catering, and Lu Dong had some understanding of her family situation, she was an ordinary family in the countryside to the west of the county.

Of course, Xiaofu's family's financial conditions are not bad now. After all, she has been in charge of the Midwest business of Taidong Market in Lu's Catering for a year, and her salary and bonus are not low.

If it were Lao Du or Jiao Shougui and others, Lu Dong didn't have to worry about, or even ask about these things, but Qiao Weiguo was different, he was very bad at dealing with people.

Besides, strictly speaking, Qiao Weiguo was the first person to work with Lu Dong, even earlier than Song Na.

Lu Dong moved directly outside and greeted Lu Kun: Open the trunk.

Lu Kun and Qiao Weiguo also started to put the things in the car into the trunk of the Audi, which was basically full of the trunk.

Old Qiao knows better than Lu Dong what his son is like. Three sticks can't beat a fart. He came to the car and said to Lu Dong: Dongzi, I'm always beating drums in my heart. I don't know what to do. How about you Accompany Wei Guo for a trip?

Before Lu Dong could speak, Qiao Weiguo said first, Dad, Lu Dong has a lot of work to do.

Lu Dong said: Uncle Qiao, let Weiguo go alone, sooner or later he will have to pass this pass, with Xiaofu here, it's fine.

Lu Dong didn't know what Fu Zhaoxia's parents were like, but Xiao Fu himself was very reliable.

I heard from Xue Tian that in the past two years, Xiao Fu had the final say on all major matters of the Fu family.

Qiao Weiguo said, I'll go by myself.

Lu Dong said, Have you passed the driver's license test?

No, I just finished the test site. Qiao Weiguo touched his bald head: The road test will be after the Chinese New Year.

Lu Dong looked at Lu Kun: You send Wei Guo there. Wei Guo, after finishing your work in the afternoon, call Lu Kun directly and ask him to pick you up.

Lu Kun responded and called Qiao Weiguo to get in the car.

Watching the car turn into the passage, Old Qiao still couldn't let go.

Lu Dong said: Let's go, Uncle Qiao, go drink tea at my place, Wei Guo is also knowledgeable, this is a small matter for him.

People who have even been on live TV, can't get past this kind of small scene?

…………

In Puji Village to the east of Qingzhao County, Fu Zhaoxia came out of her room after receiving a call from Qiao Weiguo.

Her father Fu Hongxue asked: Here?

It was a bit cold, Fu Zhaoxia buttoned up her woolen coat, and said, We're almost at the entrance of the village.

Fu Hongxue greeted his wife: Go, hurry up, let's go to the door and wait.

Fu Zhaoxia said: Dad, it's very cold, you can just wait inside, I'll go to the door to have a look.

How can it be, how can it be. Fu Hongxue didn't listen at all, and walked out without looking back: It's the first time someone comes to the door, we can't neglect it, it's a celebrity who has been on TV, or the vice president of your company.

Fu Zhaoxia followed: It's just a name.

Fu Hongxue reprimanded: The one who is named is also the vice president! He is also a shareholder of your company!

Fu Zhaoxia stopped talking, because the old lady followed behind.

People have their own ideas and ways of living, which are inseparable from the environment in which they live.

Fu Zhaoxia's parents are the most common people in rural areas these days, shareholders and vice presidents of a big company, and celebrities who can appear on TV stations. In their eyes, their daughter belongs to Gao Pan.

Even if the daughter is already an executive of this company.

So, when a black car appeared and stopped in front of the door, Fu Hongxue and his wife immediately greeted it regardless of some people on the street watching.

Fu Zhaoxia thought in her heart that Qiao Weiguo would be cheaper now, and her parents surrendered before she saw anyone.

When Qiao Weiguo got out of the car and called someone, and moved boxes with Lu Kun home, and saw the envy of the neighbors, Fu Hongxue and his wife had already scored 99 points for Qiao Weiguo, and the only point lost was this The future son-in-law is really not very good-looking.

In the winter, he still has a bald head, like a reform-through-labor prisoner...

The first time Qiao Weiguo stepped into Fu Zhaoxia's house, it was much better and simpler than he had imagined.

It seems like everything is falling into place.

Xiaofu's parents are very enthusiastic, but Xiaofu glares at him from time to time.

But Qiao Weiguo is not afraid anymore, it went smoothly, better than anything else.

…………

On this day, the Qingzhao Investment Promotion Bureau welcomed a group of investors, not from abroad, but all from other parts of the country to inspect and invest.

Qingzhao, the leader in charge of attracting investment, held a banquet at the county guest house at noon to entertain these people.

Those who have funds in their hands and can invest in Qingzhao will be the guests of Qingzhao.

Some people from the county also came to accompany them. Wang Dong, who had just rushed back from Shanghai, entered the banquet hall by virtue of his brother-in-law.

This trip to the south to participate in the investment negotiations with Jiucun, Wang Dong was greatly touched and felt that he needed to further broaden his horizons.

It is always beneficial to get in touch with businessmen from all over the world.

After a meal, Wang Dong drank wine and exchanged business cards with many people, some from Nanhu, some from East Guangdong, some from Minjiang, and some from Xichuan.

This is a potential investor brought in by the leader to participate in the investment fair in the south. Naturally, the Qingzhao side attaches great importance to it. People from other functional departments also came to the county guest house to do their best work and strive to retain a few investors. funds.

People from the Propaganda Department also came. The team leader was Xia Dan, who used to work in a TV station, and is now Section Chief Xia of the Propaganda Department.

All kinds of promotional materials of the Qingzhao cultural tourism plan are placed in the most conspicuous places, and relevant media such as TV stations are all in place. Tonight, the investment group will be able to appear on the Qingzhao evening news.

Just as Xia Dan was free, a male merchant about her age suddenly came over to say hello: Are you... Xia Dan?

It's me. Xia Dan replied.

The man was wearing a suit and said, Hi old classmate, I called you when I came over.
