Chapter 213: Changing career to matchmaker
It's hard to describe Yi Chichi. It's outrageous to sell a panda and take it home to raise.
Wen Shi touched his chin and said, "That's quite a bold idea."
"I can only say that people with money are willful and happy."
Ning Jiandong sighed, and Yi Chichi nodded in agreement. Indeed, otherwise he would not have thought of buying their national treasure.
Oh, pandas are not national treasures yet. They were not listed as national first-class protected wild animals until 1988.
"Did the accompanying official agree?"
She doesn't care about anything else but this.
"That's definitely not acceptable."
Ning Jiandong didn't even think about replying, "That's not my job. I made up an excuse to get away with it, but that foreign guest is really rich."
I see, there's really no need to emphasize it over and over again.
"By the way, do you want to know how much your double-sided panda embroidery sold for?"
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up and he immediately sat up straight, pretending to listen attentively.
"think."
Wen Shi had a similar attitude and looked at Ning Jiandong with burning eyes.
Ning Jiandong, who was stared at by the couple, took a sip of tea from the cup, then pretended to hold up three fingers and said, "So many."
"Three thousand?"
Three hundred is definitely not possible. The Guanyin statue costs 1,200. Double-sided embroidery requires higher skills from the embroiderer and takes longer time. Ning Jiandong could not agree to it.
"Yes, foreign exchange."
Wen Shi was stunned, "Who would be willing to buy it at such a high price?"
"I've fallen in love with the panda."
The implication is: it has little to do with the embroidery, but is mainly about the infinite charm of pandas.
Foreign guests are willing to spend money on pandas.
"I'm telling you, you have to do a good job of embroidering the double-sided panda. You can't ruin your own reputation, nor can you ruin the reputation of the Friendship Store. Do you understand?"
Looking at Yi Chichi, Ning Jiandong gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I can't say anything about other aspects, but I have no problem with double-sided embroidery."
The topic should almost end here.
The next thing is simple: settle the accounts for "Harvest of Spring" and "Red Plum Blossoms in Snow" and issue a formal special employment certificate.
All official seals are available. With this thing, no matter where Yi Chichi does embroidery, she has a talisman to protect her own safety.
The Spring Herald painting was 280, and Yi Chichi's Red Plum Blossoms Walking in the Snow was 420. Of the 120, Yi Chichi asked him to help change them to the national volume, with dates ranging from three months to six months.
Wen Shi exchanged some national votes for her and mobilized many brothers and comrades, but even so, the amount exchanged was limited.
There is no way, it is too difficult to get national tickets.
Ning Jiandong is different, he has a way to exchange bills.
Therefore, along with the double-sided embroidery materials, the bills were also delivered.
"Check and count."
Ning Jiandong said in a deep voice, "Let me be frank with you. If there is any problem with the materials after you take them back, you will have to pay for the materials yourself. Other than that, the delivery date remains unchanged."
"good."
Yi Chichi had no objection to this. After carefully checking it, she said, "No problem."
"Count the bills, too."
A bill of 120 yuan is not a small amount. Even if Ning Jiandong didn't say it, Yi Chichi would have counted it.
This has nothing to do with trust or not, but is a question of personal interests that needs to be clarified.
Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, either you suffer in silence or the relationship between the two parties will be affected by such a small matter.
Not worth it.
Therefore, it is better to count them in person.
Ning Jiandong expressed satisfaction with her approach.
He has a clear mind and is not the kind of person who would suffer for the sake of face.
Last year he dealt with an embroiderer, and the process was hard to describe.
Anyway, he was afraid of dealing with those who couldn't save their pride and pretended to be generous and frank in front of him, but later quarreled with him because they were dissatisfied in their hearts.
Too tired!
Yi Chichi had no idea what he was thinking. 120 bills sounded like a lot, but in fact it would only take two or three minutes to count them.
"no problem."
Ning Jiandong stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"It's my treat!"
Yi Chichi, who was making money, was very generous and snatched the opportunity from Ning Jiandong to treat him.
The three of them were eating and chatting in the state-owned restaurant, and they started talking about the textile factory.
"The textile factory has made a big mistake this time."
"What's the matter?"
Wen Shi asked curiously.
Ning Jiandong clicked his tongue and said, "They purchased a machine and said they wanted to make technological innovations, but when the machine arrived it didn't work, and the manual was incomprehensible. Now they are looking for someone who can speak a foreign language to help translate it."
Yi Chichi, "Are you sure which foreign language it is?"
“…I’m not sure about that.”
"It's no use just looking for a translator. We need to find a technician for this."
At this point, she wondered, "Didn't the technicians go along to learn when purchasing?"
Ning Jiandong curled his lips and said in a rather sarcastic tone, "This matter is a bit complicated. If you talk about it seriously, it can be summed up in two words: power and struggle."
The couple understood immediately that this was not something they were suitable to hear.
There's no point in listening to it; it has nothing to do with their lives.
It’s not a circle.
"How's grandma?"
Yi Chichi naturally changed the subject. When Ning Jiandong saw her mention her old mother, he smiled brightly, "I feel more energetic now. I feel much better than before."
"I went out for a walk with my old buddy a few days ago."
That's really good.
The old lady's legs and feet are not good. I could tell from the way she walked when I went to her house last time. However, "it's better to be careful. After all, she is old."
"Someone is following."
Ning Jiandong explained, "My wife will accompany me when she is free, and my sister-in-law will accompany me when she is free."
At this point, he remembered something, "Xiao Yi, do you have a sister?"
"No."
She never thought that Yi Jing and the others were her sisters. She was not related to them by blood, because the original owner who had the same father's genes was dead.
She is Yi Chichi, a girl from the 21st century who has a happy family with both parents.
As for Yi Chichi’s parents in this world, she only recognizes the original owner’s mother who had died long ago, and her mother’s relatives.
Unfortunately, the original owner's mother had no brothers or sisters, so there was only one cousin left in the Qin family, and there was only one Qin Jiu among the younger generation.
"I only have one brother, and he's just a kid."
Ning Jiandong was quite disappointed, "Why don't you have a sister?"
I felt strange when I heard it, "Uncle, why are you so concerned about whether my wife has sisters?"
Yi Chichi also wanted to know, but she would never have thought that Ning Jiandong asked her if she had any sisters because he wanted to act as a matchmaker.
Upon learning the result, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle, have you changed your career to become a matchmaker?"
"That can't be possible. I'm just worried about my eldest nephew."
This is referring to Ning Jianping's son who is a soldier.
"He's already quite old, but he doesn't even have a partner. Do you think I should be anxious?"
Wen Shi has a say in this matter, after all, he lived through this period.
"Don't worry, the right person will appear when the time comes."
Worried that Ning Jiandong wouldn't listen, he pointed to Yi Chichi and said, "My wife just showed up on her own. Before that, my mother would write to me every now and then, scolding me for being useless and I couldn't even find a wife."
