Li Xiuyuan nodded and said nothing more.
After dinner, Li Xiuyuan found a hotel near the restaurant and stayed there. The next morning, he woke up and waited for news from Kang Yuxuan. It was almost noon when he received a call from Kang Yuxuan.
He said that the people had already made an appointment and the place to eat had been decided, so Li Xiuyuan didn't need to worry about it, he would take care of it.
On the phone, Li Xiuyuan repeatedly stated that he would be responsible for the dinner this evening. Kang Yuxuan disagreed, saying that Zhongbei City was his territory, and when it came to Huangyuan County, he would let Li Xiuyuan entertain him.
The time agreed is 1 o'clock in the evening.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiuyuan immediately packed up and left. Although Kang Yuxuan had said on the phone that he had arranged everything and Li Xiuyuan didn't need to be responsible, if he really didn't prepare anything, it would mean he didn't understand things.
But this preparation is not so easy to prepare. First of all, Kang Yuxuan has already arranged a restaurant. Rushing to pay the bill is one thing, but you can't just say, let's change to a more upscale place.
Li Xiuyuan thought about it and felt that he still had to give a gift.
Although Kang Yuxuan said that this editor is the elder of his family and does not need gifts, it is better to just listen to his words. The more gifts, the less blame. Can giving gifts by yourself cause any problems?
The answer is yes. Giving gifts brings a lot of favors, but there are also many favors that one can do but cannot do. Giving gifts is a science, and the essence of this science is to cater to the other person's preferences.
Kang Yuxuan said that this was the elder of the family, and if he asked for money to pick him up or send him off, it would be a slap in the face of the person, which would definitely be inappropriate.
So I can only give gifts. As for giving gifts, I didn't prepare any specialties when I came here. And there is a problem with giving specialties. Giving specialties is just to express my thoughts, it's just a bit of emotion, but actually it has no value at all.
I still have to buy some things. When buying things as gifts, I have to give them what they like. But now Kang Yuxuan didn't tell me what the editor likes, so I can only give him something that everyone can accept.
For example, hard currency such as cigarettes, alcohol and tea can never go wrong with them, especially cigarettes and alcohol, which are circulating currencies to a certain extent. However, giving them as gifts is a bit too tacky.
Finally, Li Xiuyuan decided to give a high-end fountain pen as a gift. Firstly, it would not look tacky, and secondly, the effect of the gift would be immediate. Li Xiuyuan ran around Zhongbei City for nearly four hours and visited seven places before he found a specialty store that sold high-end fountain pens.
But after seeing the place, Li Xiuyuan started cursing as soon as he saw it. It was so damn expensive. It was a well-known brand like Montblanc. The basic model cost tens of thousands, and the limited edition cost tens of thousands more.
Let alone 2005, it will be difficult to consume even in another 20 years.
There are also Parker pens. The standard model of Big Red Tofu is priced at 5,500 yuan, and the sterling silver carved plate is over 10,000 yuan. The gold nib is cheaper, but the gold tip also costs more than 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
It’s not that Li Xiuyuan is reluctant to spend it, but he really has no money. He received a salary of about 1,000 yuan last month, plus the 5,000 yuan given by his father, the total is more than 1,000 yuan.
This is not even enough to buy a pen.
In the end, Li Xiuyuan still felt that he should be patriotic, so he bought two Hero brand pens, one was an 18K gold pen, which cost 1,200 yuan, and the other was an anniversary model, which cost 2,500 yuan and was gold-plated and carved.
One for the editor teacher, and the other Li Xiuyuan planned to give to the class monitor Kang Yuxuan.
