After finishing lunch, Yu Chengyuan rested for a while.
He and his father-in-law went out.
My mother-in-law didn't go; she stayed home with Su-lan and Xiao-tang-tang.
He carried a bottle of aged wine that he had treasured for many years (a gift from his father-in-law). He followed behind his father-in-law toward Wuxing Middle School.
Because my home isn't far from the school, I didn't ride a bicycle this time, but walked.
Originally, I lived in the school's family-run staff dormitory, which was not far from the school's office building.
The logistics department is also located in the same office building.
The midday sun was a bit too bright, causing beads of sweat to appear on his forehead.
Along the way, his father-in-law spoke to him somewhat seriously about Minister Qian.
"Xiao Yu, Minister Qian is a very shrewd person and doesn't easily trust others. You'll have to have a good talk with him later."
The father-in-law's tone carried a mixture of worry and expectation.
Yu Chengyuan nodded, then raised his question, "Father-in-law, why did you disagree with my mother-in-law giving me the turtle to give to Minister Qian at home just now?"
This is very nutritious, especially the large ones, which are even harder to find.
Because it's wild, it's not easy for it to grow this big.
He didn't understand why his father-in-law did this.
However, when he was at home, he listened to his father-in-law and didn't take the turtle, since he was saving it for his parents-in-law to eat anyway.
When Liu Jianguo heard his son-in-law's question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "Minister Qian's wife divorced him ten years ago and ran off with a nouveau riche. Giving him a turtle is just bad luck!"
When he sees a turtle, he'll inevitably think of his wife running off with someone else. Do you think he'll still be in a good mood towards you?
"It's already a favor that they haven't cursed at you; you think you can talk business with me? No way!"
Yu Chengyuan suddenly realized what was going on and felt fortunate that he had known these details in advance.
If I were to go to see Minister Qian alone, I'm afraid I would return empty-handed.
"Would it be too shabby to just carry a bottle of wine? Should I buy something else?"
Father-in-law, you just mentioned that Minister Qian likes to drink tea, so why don't I buy some tea leaves?
This makes it seem more formal for a first visit.
"Hmm, you've thought of everything quite thoroughly."
Let's go outside the school and buy some tea!
There is a small shop in the school, but it doesn't sell tea.
The father-in-law and son-in-law went to a store outside and bought a box of Tieguanyin tea.
His father-in-law then took him to the school. After meeting Minister Qian, he simply introduced him without mentioning that Yu Chengyuan was his son-in-law.
Yu Chengyuan knew that his father-in-law did not want Minister Qian to make an exception for him as an intermediary because of their relationship; he was just acting as a go-between for him.
Although his father-in-law supported his ideas, he was also a very upright person.
Men and women think completely differently, so they handle things differently as well.
Women generally treat their children with a protective instinct, while men tend to raise their children in a more hands-off, more hands-off way, which is something you have to learn from your own experience.
"Xiaoyu, I'm playing chess with someone in the pavilion outside. Come find me there after you've finished your business."
As Liu Jianguo was leaving, he said to his son-in-law.
"Yes, father-in-law."
Yu Chengyuan nodded to his father-in-law, who gave him an encouraging look.
Liu Jianguo knew in his heart that he didn't want Minister Qian to think that there was any special treatment involved.
He hoped his son-in-law could close the deal based on his own abilities.
Minister Qian sized up the young man in front of him and nodded. "Xiao Yu, have a seat!"
He wondered who this young man was, that Principal Liu had personally brought him here.
They must be someone important; they're probably either a relative of Principal Liu or a relative of the principal's wife.
So he was quite polite when he spoke just now.
"Thank you, Minister Qian."
After thanking him, Yu Chengyuan calmly sat down on the wooden chair opposite him.
With just one glance, he had already clearly seen Minister Qian's appearance.
Minister Qian was a serious-looking middle-aged man with shrewd and capable eyes.
Yu Chengyuan was a little nervous at first, but he quickly adjusted his state. He smiled and spoke with Minister Qian in a humble yet assertive manner.
He sincerely described the freshness, quality, and reasonable price of the vegetables.
Most importantly, it provides a detailed and specific explanation of the profit aspect.
Just like what I said when I talked to Minister Wang.
Minister Qian listened quietly at first, his face expressionless.
But the more he listened, the more his expression changed, and when he heard about fish and wild mushrooms, he showed a look of surprise.
Because their school also has a small canteen, which is specifically used to entertain city leaders when they come down for inspection.
School leaders and teachers would also go to the cafeteria to cook meals to improve their diet.
After all, the food cooked in the cafeteria in large batches is definitely not as delicious as food cooked in small batches!
Putting everything else aside, the oily and flavorful dishes cooked in small pots are much better.
He usually buys very little and at high prices at the free market, and the prices at the state-run market aren't much cheaper either.
Most importantly, these contain much more oil than vegetables.
Seeing Minister Qian's expression, Yu Chengyuan knew that he would definitely not let go of such a cooperation opportunity.
"Xiaoyu, I listened carefully to everything you just said."
Your idea is indeed very good.
But you need to make sure you never run out of stock!
And the vegetables must be fresh.
These are the two issues that Minister Qian is worried about.
"Minister Qian, rest assured, neither of the two issues you are worried about are problems."
