After chuckling a few times, Xu Jing said, "I was just curious, wasn't I? You used to be so focused on work, and now you've not only suddenly come to Nan'an County, but you've actually... you've actually taken on this kind of job. Are you really here to get your resume polished?"
Gu Tingzhi curled his lips into a smile. "Otherwise what?"
Xu Jing sighed, "Boss, what you did was really unexpected. If you hadn't done something big and been praised before you came, I would have thought you were really worn out by those people!"
Gu Tingzhi sneered, "Don't worry, those people can't mess with me. My old man would never give up on me."
Xu Jing nodded. "Alright, since you've said so, of course I believe you. If there's anything you need me to do in the future, just let me know, and I'll do my best."
Gu Tingzhi glanced in the direction Meng Fuyan had left, "There's something I need you to do right now."
"What?"
"Take good care of her."
Xu Jing: "..."
He was silent for two seconds, glanced in the direction Meng Fuyan had left, and leaned closer to Gu Tingzhi, "You...you really like her?"
Gu Tingzhi fell silent.
Just when Xu Jing thought Gu Tingzhi wouldn't answer, he suddenly spoke up, "If she doesn't fancy someone else, I will marry her."
Xu Jing suddenly didn't know what to say. "Why didn't you choose someone else to marry?"
Meng Fuyan clearly comes from a well-off family. Judging from her personality, she doesn't seem to have been raised in a family that suffered a lot of grievances. Her biological mother must also be quite capable, otherwise she couldn't have raised such a capable daughter.
A young woman with such vision and plenty of money, and most importantly, such beauty, would have many suitors. Would she look down on anyone?
Xu Jing sighed, "Boss, you...you're still young, it doesn't necessarily mean it will always be like this. Besides, I've heard that there are no incurable diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, only difficult and complicated diseases. If we find some skilled old TCM doctors to take a look, maybe...maybe..."
Gu Tingzhi gave him a cold look and said, "Go somewhere cool and stay there."
After saying that, he turned around and went back.
Xu Jing shrank back and quickly ran away.
Meng Fuyan went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative. In those days, there weren't many entertainment options, and shopping was limited to supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town was much larger than the one in the commune, and it had a wider variety of goods. After looking around for a while, she didn't find anything particularly special, so Meng Fuyan bought a few cans of food and two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy and left.
She has enough food in her space to eat for a lifetime, and it's all relatively green and healthy food, so there's no need for her to queue up and fight with those people.
But I really wanted to try the canned food and milk candy. The White Rabbit milk candy at that time had a very high milk content, which is incomparable to the later ones. I would buy some and store it whenever I came across it.
Time always flies when you're out shopping. When it was almost time, she ran to a secluded spot and took her bicycle out of her storage space.
This is a brand new women's bicycle, which her mother prepared as part of her dowry.
She still has several bicycles in her space, all of which she looted back then. They are all old, and she is worried that it would be bad if the Wu siblings recognized her. So she keeps them to sell on the black market.
I haven't ridden this bicycle, but it's been over three years. The frame isn't as shiny as a brand new one, but it's not too conspicuous.
When Gu Tingzhi returned to his workplace, Xu Jing was already waiting for him.
He glanced at her bicycle, raised his eyebrows, and didn't ask anything.
After Gu Tingzhi got off work, the three of them went to his place together.
A separate courtyard, three tiled houses, and a separate kitchen.
Spacious!
Once inside the courtyard, Gu Tingzhi handed the key to the main room to Xu Jing, saying, "Go open the door. You two go sit in the living room."
Gu Tingzhi went to the kitchen.
Xu Jing opened the main door to the house. There were three rooms with cement floors. The living room had a wooden sofa and a teapot on the coffee table.
The environment can't compare to the Meng family villa, but it's already quite good for this small county town.
Xu Jing immediately smiled and said, "Not bad!"
Xu Jing went to take a look. The room was well-furnished, with a bedroom on the right and a study on the left. It had everything one would need.
The two had just sat down when Gu Tingzhi returned. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Xu Jing laughed and said, "Didn't you say you had something good? Where is it?"
"Go see the kitchen for yourself."
Xu Jing immediately rushed to the kitchen.
Meng Fuyan followed, and before she even reached the kitchen door, she heard Xu Jing scream.
"Aww!"
Gu Tingzhi snapped, "What are you yelling for? Keep your voice down!"
Xu Jing immediately covered his mouth, still unable to contain the joy on his face, "My God, boss, you've struck it rich?"
Meng Fuyan went over to take a look and saw that there were several basins in the room, all filled with meat.
The pig's hindquarters weighs approximately three pounds.
Pork belly, about five or six pounds.
Pork ribs, about five pounds.
Pork fat, about five pounds.
There are also two pig trotters.
In this day and age, that was already amazing enough. But he also had a piece of beef shank, about three pounds, mutton, about two pounds, and lamb chops, about five or six pounds.
There were two large fish, about the same size, each weighing about seven or eight pounds; two chickens and a goose, which had been slaughtered; and two small bamboo baskets, one containing chicken eggs and the other containing duck eggs.
With these as a backdrop, the basket of vegetables and the packet of seasoning next to it become less conspicuous.
Meng Fuyan was stunned!
Is this guy really that rich?
Gu Tingzhi looked at her slightly dazed face and smiled. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Meng Fuyan was completely at a loss for words. She remembered that although the big shot in her previous life was quite wealthy, he was nowhere near as rich as he was now!
She glanced at the food she had brought on the table with a hint of frustration. Now that the big shot was so rich, would he still be interested in bringing her something nice to eat in the future?
Should we change our strategy of clinging to powerful figures?
well!
It's so hard to climb the social ladder!
Seeing the somewhat frustrated look in her eyes, Gu Tingzhi understood after a moment's thought.
"My cooking skills are not very good. I can basically only cook things until they are cooked through. I tasted your cooking at your house the other day, and it was better than many professional chefs. I don't usually get to eat such delicious food."
Meng Fuyan's confidence immediately returned.
Things might change in this life; the big shot is richer and harder to win over than in the previous life.
But similarly, the big shot seems to be even more powerful than in his previous life.
It's okay, she doesn't necessarily only offer food as a business partner; she can also demonstrate other values.
Meng Fuyan smiled again, "My mother used to eat a lot of good food. She's been to all the big restaurants in the country and occasionally researches food. I've learned from her. Brother Gu, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Tsk tsk!
So cute!
Gu Tingzhi's eyes and brows were full of smiles, "You do it as you see fit, I'll start the fire for you."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Jing and said, "Go to the yard and chop up some firewood. I'll bring some back for you after dinner."
Xu Jing immediately ran to the yard, "No problem."
