Zhao Zhengrong was the elder and nodded first in response: "Hello, I am Xiaoyu's father, Zhao Zhengrong."
"Have you found a job?" Zhao Huaiyan collected his thoughts and spoke in a steady tone.
He knew why Ruan Liping introduced Ning Xi to Director Yan's youngest son. It was simply because her father had retired and there was no one to take over, so she could not get promoted.
So I was eager to get on Director Yan's big ship.
Now that things have settled, Ruan Liping should not treat Ning Xi unfairly. She can eat the meat, and she can probably leave some soup for Ning Xi.
Ning Xi: "Yeah! People are in high spirits when they are happy. Do you think I look much better recently? Why do you seem to have lost some weight?"
It's a public place with a lot of people coming and going, so it doesn't matter if the two of them say a few more words.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced back and saw his father's big hand holding the wheelchair tighten, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly, which showed that he was nervous and doubtful.
"It's been too hot lately and I can't eat. I wasn't feeling well to begin with, and now it's even worse." He said this to the two of them.
He can't let his father know that he has started taking medicine yet.
First of all, his father may not agree to let him eat it.
Besides, even if he agreed, the effects of the medicine would be very dangerous once taken. His father would definitely be worried and would come to him often, which would easily arouse Liao Qingyue's suspicion.
He intuitively felt that this strange poison was related to Liao Qingyue, but he had no evidence.
Ning Xi: "Ask Auntie Guan to make you some hot and sour dipping sauce to mix with the cold dishes to whet your appetite."
She used to suffer from summer heat as well. She would become inexplicably irritable, flustered and unable to eat, and would lose weight rapidly.
Now she eats a lot every day, and two bowls of rice for each meal is not enough. If she doesn't go to work, she probably can't even support herself.
Zhao Huaiyan couldn't actually eat spicy food, but he accepted the kind concern from others and said with a smile, "Well, thank you for your concern."
Ning Xi saw that there were dark circles under his eyes and he was obviously in low spirits but still forcing a smile, and she felt a little impressed.
As the son of a big factory director, he must have come into contact with a lot of people and faced a lot of prejudice.
He went from being a favored child of heaven to falling into the quagmire but he did not give up on himself. He has achieved what most people cannot do.
I can only wish him a speedy recovery!
In the original text, the medicine Lin Zhendong gave him was indeed effective, as can be seen from the fact that he fully supported Lin to become rich, but Ning Xi couldn't remember whether he stood up later.
"Do you want to buy a watch?" Zhao Huaiyan felt that the look in her eyes when she looked at him was a little hot, and mixed with something indescribable, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
She seemed to be in a trance for two seconds when she looked at him just now. What was she thinking?
Is there something wrong with his attire or has he become uglier?
Zhao Huaiyan 'inadvertently' glanced at the shadow in the counter glass.
The figure inside sat gracefully even in the wheelchair, with his back straight, his white shirt buttoned to the top, and his hair neatly combed.
He just doesn't look very well.
Zhao Zhengrong, who was standing behind them, was tall and had an excellent vision. He saw everything the two men were saying and doing.
When the little girl named Ning Xi greeted them at the beginning, he vaguely felt an emotion that could be called "amazing" from Xiaoyu's reaction.
Then the girl was clearly looking at Xiaoyu's legs and was obviously feeling sorry for him.
But Xiaoyu's reaction was to look at herself in the glass cabinet.
I guess there was some misunderstanding.
He pays special attention to his appearance, and looks like a peacock seeking a mate.
It seems that Xiaoyu doesn't care about anything.
Zhao Zhengrong saw through it but didn't say anything. In his heart, he even felt a sense of gratitude that his eldest son had finally grown up.
"Yeah, I just got a watch voucher." Ning Xi sighed in her heart, nodded in response, and then took out the watch purchase voucher and handed it to the salesperson.
The salesperson carefully checked the voucher and said, "155 yuan."
The price was indeed not cheap, but Ning Xi still paid for it promptly. At this moment, she discovered another benefit of the 1970s - unified pricing.
The prices of almost all commodities are public, unlike modern times, where, not to mention big things, even the price of a small piece of clothing may differ by dozens or even hundreds online and offline on different platforms and by different merchants.
In fact, they may all be produced by the same clothing factory, but they are labeled differently.
The watch is very expensive, but Ning Xi doesn't feel bad about it at all. She bought it as a gift for her aunt Liu Chunmei, whose birthday is August 10th.
When she moved back to her uncle's house a while ago, she took out her old jacket to dry and found two hundred yuan in her pocket.
One hundred of them were placed under Liu Chunmei's pillow before she went to the countryside, and another hundred were added by Liu Chunmei, wrapped tightly with oil paper and handkerchiefs.
She returned the money to Liu Chunmei, but she only took one hundred yuan and said she didn't want the other one hundred.
I can never repay the kindness of raising me, and I just happen to have a watch voucher that Liu Chunmei likes, so Ning Xi doesn't have to bother preparing any other gifts.
"Are you buying a watch too? Don't you already have one?" Ning Xi carefully put the watch and invoice into her bag, then turned to ask Zhao Huaiyan.
She remembered that when they first met, Zhao Huaiyan was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and had a watch on his wrist.
"Aunt Guan's birthday is next month, and I bought this for her."
Zhao Huaiyan saw her glance at her wrist and explained it specifically.
He was wearing long sleeves today and was out with his father, so he didn't bring a watch, but how did she remember it so clearly?
"What a coincidence! My aunt's birthday is also next month, hehe." Ning Xi saw Zhu Mei coming towards her from the corner of her eye, and said goodbye:
"today......"
Zhao Zhengrong: "Comrade Xiaoning..."
A voice came from above her head. Ning Xi raised her head with difficulty: "Uncle Zhao, please speak."
Really, why are they so tall? It’s so tiring to even talk to them.
It’s better to have someone like Zhao Huaiyan, and communication is also very convenient.
"Comrade Xiaoning, would you be available on the evening of the 10th of next month? We'll be having a family dinner at home then. If it's convenient, I sincerely invite you to come over for a simple meal."
Ning Xi was still thinking about how to refuse, she didn't really want to go.
Look at what they say? Family dinner! Is that where she should go?!
However, this excuse was simply a natural coincidence. Ning Xi cheered in her heart, but her face was full of regret: "Is it such a coincidence? I really want to go, but that day is also my aunt's birthday..."
Haha, this is not an excuse, it is the fact.
Zhao Zhengrong hadn't anticipated this outcome. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "How about noon? We haven't decided yet. I was thinking it would be more convenient after everyone gets off work in the evening."
Zhao Huaiyan: ...
What is his father doing? Didn't he just decide to have a family dinner on the 10th this morning?
