"It's agreed. I'll be there at six in the evening." Ruan Liping pushed open the office door with a brisk step.
Ning Xi gave her a look of admiration: "Amazing! Sister Ruan is as good as two people!"
"Come on, you must be hungry after all this work, right? Let's have lunch at the state-owned restaurant here, and I'll tell you about their situation."
Ruan Liping took her to a state-owned restaurant not far from the Commercial Bureau.
"What do you want to eat? It's my treat."
Ning Xi declined: "I'm not very familiar with this place. Sister Ruan, please order some. I can eat anything anyway."
Ruan Liping smiled and ordered sweet and sour pork, stir-fried pork slices, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and a dish of three fresh delicacies.
Four dishes for two people is already very rich, and any more will easily be considered extravagant and wasteful.
Because she knew someone in the restaurant, Ruan Liping arrived early and chose a seat in a corner, which was more secluded and convenient for talking.
"The man's family name is Yan, Yan Jiale. His father is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Department of Commerce, and his mother also works at the Department of Commerce. He has two older brothers and one older sister, all of whom are married."
Ruan Liping whispered a general introduction to the situation to her while eating.
Ning Xi thought that it was not an exaggeration to say that she was in a high position with great power. She always had a good attitude and her face remained as calm as a rock.
When Ruan Liping saw this, she thought he really had the aura of a miracle doctor.
There is no expression on Wen's face. He is chewing meat with big mouthfuls. His cheeks are puffed up like a little squirrel. So cute!
"Eat more. Being able to eat is a blessing. Look how thin you are." Ruan Liping took a clean spoon and scooped a large spoonful of braised pork slices for Ning Xi.
"Thank you, Sister Ruan, how did you know I like to eat this?!"
After drinking the nutrient solution, she no longer has to be as cautious about eating as before, worrying about this and that. As long as she doesn't overeat, there will be no big problem.
"Is there any job you want to do?" Ruan Liping suddenly changed the subject.
Ning Xi didn't know why Ruan Liping suddenly changed her attitude. She had clearly defined interests with her before and would never give in, but now she started asking her about her work before anything was done.
Of course she wants a job. People have asked her out of kindness, and it would be hypocritical for her to refuse.
So Ning Xi said directly: "I want to go to the purchasing department. I heard that they can travel around. I also want to see the world and take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland."
"Oh? The purchasing department works very hard. It's not as glamorous as you think."
Ruan Liping was a little surprised, and thought that she might want to work under her!
"But it's good for young people to see more of the world." She herself worked in the purchasing department when she first joined the Commerce Bureau.
In the afternoon, Ruan Liping worked in the office, and Ning Xi read the newspaper on the side. They would ride their bikes over after get off work.
"Take this with you. Director Yan's wife likes to drink tea." Ruan Liping took out a can of tea in an iron box and gave it to Ning Xi.
The more courtesy you show, the less blame you will get. Even if Director Yan disagrees with the treatment, he will not make things too difficult for Ning Xi out of courtesy.
Ning Xi took it: "Thank you, Sister Ruan."
"This is a real compound!" When they arrived, Ruan Liping exclaimed at the magnificent buildings.
She lived in the compound of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, but there were not only people from the Bureau of Commerce living there, but also dormitories for the department store.
There are several large fish ponds behind the compound, which are used to store aquatic products for the New Year supply.
The living environment is not on the same level as other people's compound.
Ning Xi took a look and found it was indeed nice. It looked much better than the compound of the machinery factory, and the landscaping was also well done. It was obvious that this was not a place for ordinary people to live.
"People from the Grain Department and the Provincial Government all live in this area," Ruan Liping explained to her.
When I entered, the guard asked a few questions and let me in. It seemed that Director Yan had given instructions in advance.
Ruan Liping took her to a small detached building and knocked on the door and went in.
An auntie opened the door and welcomed them in with a smile. There were three people sitting on the sofa in the living room. The two older ones were sitting next to each other, watching TV with the young boy in the middle.
"Uncle Yan, Aunt Jin, my name is Ruan Liping, you can just call me Xiao Ruan, and this is my sister Ning Xi."
"Xiao Ruan, Xiao Ning, please sit down. Aunt Zhang, please pour them a cup of tea." Jin Hongyun stood up and asked them to sit on the sofa.
At the same time, he glanced at Ning Xi casually.
He is of average appearance and a little short, but he is very polite and behaves in a graceful manner. His performance is much better than the previous times he came to visit me.
Their son has a disability, so naturally he doesn't dare to dream of girls with the same conditions. The ones who come are all very different from him, and most of them are unable to let go and are timid.
Although she could understand it, she just couldn't stand it.
Appearance was not the main factor. Jin Hongyun had a good first impression of Ning Xi and felt a little better.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Ning Xi stood up and took the tea, and took out the tea box from her bag. "I heard that Aunt Jin likes to drink tea. This is a little gift from us and Sister Ruan."
Jin Hongyun waved his hands repeatedly: "Alas, I can't accept this. You little comrades are welcome to come to our home to play at any time. You don't need to bring any gifts."
Ruan Liping thought she would just say that she brought it, which was fine, as it was originally prepared for Ning Xi, but she was a little surprised to be mentioned too.
She quickly added, "It's not worth much. It's our first time visiting an elder empty-handed. If they see us, they'll probably scold us for being rude."
In one sentence, giving gifts is a way to show respect to elders. Jin Hongyun couldn't refuse and said with a smile:
"Then I'd like to thank you two young comrades for thinking of me. Aunt Zhang, please put it away for me and make some for me tomorrow."
"Aunt Jin, we're not here to see each other."
Ruan Liping realized that Jin Hongyun intended to talk to Ning Xi alone, so she quickly told him her true purpose.
