Chapter 465 He Looks Weird
As soon as I entered the building, I saw Dongzhe and Xiaoting helping at a spare table on the side of the gate.
The job is to open the bags of various snacks and put them into small jars so that the waiters can take them to small plates for the customers.
The two men wore masks and gloves and worked seriously.
Hearing the gentle chimes at the door, the two said in unison, "Welcome to Suihua Tower!"
"Are you heartless robots shouting 'Welcome' without even raising your heads?" Huang Ling almost made them laugh to death.
"Mom! Hey, Dad, you're here too!"
"Auntie, Uncle Zhou!"
The two stood up from behind the table and took a look at the work in their hands. Xiao Ting said:
"Mom, you guys go and rest first, we'll come after we finish this."
"Okay, take your time and don't cheat!" Huang Ling nodded.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will supervise Xiaoting." Dongzhe answered while looking at Hongbin, feeling a little worried about him.
The main reason is not that they are afraid that his brother Hongbin will inform on them, but because he is honest. The people on the other side are Factory Director Huang and Battalion Commander Zhou, and they are afraid that he can't handle it.
Hongbin gave him a reassuring look.
Dongzhe knew that he had not been exposed for the time being, so he felt relieved and sat down to continue working, humming a little tune. He heard the sound of wind chimes behind him, and the two of them shouted "Welcome to Suihua Tower" again.
Huang Ling almost laughed to death and went into the private room. Hongbin went to find Zhu Xiu Yu, leaving Huang Ling and her husband alone in the room.
"I think Dongzhe feels a little weird now." Zhou Huaiyi said in a low voice.
"The father-in-law and mother-in-law have different feelings towards their son-in-law. Just think about how you feel when you see Xingyan. Isn't it different?" Huang Ling said with a smile.
"Ah, if you say so, it's true. Hongbin seems to know about it and is covering for them!" Zhou Huaiyi nodded.
"Well, it should be. With those little looks of theirs, they don't think they can escape the eagle eyes of our Captain Zhou!" Huang Ling patted Zhou Huaiyi's knee.
"Ah, yes, mine is Eagle Eye and yours is a ruler." Zhou Huaiyi shook his head helplessly.
Zhou Huaiyi had already seen the two people's little actions on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and he guessed it was almost right.
When he tried to talk about this with Huang Ling, he found out that Huang Ling had already discovered the clues.
Zhou Huaiyi said at the time:
"I don't think Dongzhe is a bad kid. He's a good kid, and Mr. and Mrs. Lin are really good. If Xiaoting marries Dongzhe, it will be just like being at home. It's just that they'll distract her and affect her studies."
"No," Huang Ling said very firmly at the time, "Xiaoting will definitely not be affected, and Dongzhe is studying so hard just to be with Xiaoting.
Do you remember how Dongzhe's grades improved dramatically after they were admitted to high school? During that time, he had already begun to realize his feelings and wanted to catch up with Xiaoting desperately.
"The reason why Xiaoting wants to take revenge on Dan during the college entrance examination is because she wants to take revenge on Dan," Zhou Huaiyi seemed to understand, so he asked.
Huang Ling nodded.
"Okay." Zhou Huaiyi sighed lightly.
"Old father, you are really reluctant!"
"It's not forced. No matter whether this person is Dongzhe or anyone else, I feel the same way! But as long as Xiaoting likes it, I'm happy if she is happy." Zhou Huaiyi said again.
At this time, Zhu Xiuyu entered the room.
The two talked about the situation in Suihua Tower, and Zhu Xiu Yu told Huang Ling everything.
The performance was much better than the two had expected, because there were two department stores, one large and one small, on this street and the next street, and there were also movie theaters nearby. There was a huge flow of people during the holidays, and Huang Ling was accurate when marking out the area.
"But, Aling, how did you know that a department store was going to open here?" Zhu Xiu Yu was a little curious.
Huang Ling told Zhu Xiuyu:
“There are only a few major suppliers of daily chemicals, and they have been cooperating with Yuesheng for many years. Yiming can still get some information out of them.
These department stores have to prepare and place orders for goods while they are being renovated, so the suppliers will see their storefronts earlier than we do.
Suppliers don't want everyone to open department stores in large numbers, even more than we do. If they fail, they'll lose a customer. Only if everyone opens stores in different areas and their business is good will theirs be good."
Zhu Xiuyu immediately drew inferences from this:
"Then can I often ask the fishmongers and vegetable vendors to find out what new stores will open in the streets around us?"
Huang Ling nodded approvingly at her:
"This way we can prepare in advance. When a new store opens, we will introduce new dishes, offer discounts, and organize promotions, especially for regular customers. We don't try to steal other people's customers; our main goal is to retain regular customers."
"Okay, I understand." Zhu Xiu Yu nodded repeatedly.
The two of them knew each other very well. Zhu Xiu Yu knew everything Huang Ling wanted to know and told her everything without her asking.
At this time, four children came into the house together.
Dongzhe was smart. He didn't come in, but asked at the door first: "Have you two aunts finished discussing the important matter?"
"We're done talking, come in!" Huang Ling waved at him.
Xiang Yuanchao entered the house and greeted them, then said to the two aunts:
"Aunt Huang, Aunt Zhu, I didn't know you opened a shop here, otherwise you would have come to help a long time ago. Look, I can't help you even in Shanghai."
"Your equipment factory is in those deep mountains and forests. I wouldn't ask you for help no matter who I ask. It's not easy to make a trip there. But now, you and Hongbin are colleagues, and you can take care of each other in the future." Huang Ling asked him to sit down.
"Yes, I am the happiest. I used to be quite worried about Hongbin, but now with Yuanchao, I feel completely relieved." Zhu Xiu Yu continued.
"Don't worry, I will take care of Hongbin and his younger brothers and sisters." Xiang Yuanchao patted his chest.
"Thank you, Brother Yuanchao!" Dongzhe and Xiaoting thanked him at the same time, without a second's difference, in the same tone as when they had just said "Welcome".
"Okay, that's enough, you two!" Hong Bin was almost dying of laughter.
"This is what Brother Xiaoyue just trained us on! He even asked Xiaoting and I to prepare everything together. It's so funny. Do she and I need to prepare everything together?" Dongzhe was quite proud.
Everyone in the room laughed at the quirky Dongzhe.
Zhu Xiuyu was concerned about Xiang Yuanchao and asked him, "Yuanchao, you've only been at the Post Office for two days. Have you prepared everything in the dormitory? If you need anything, ask Hongbin for help."
"Oh, thank you Aunt Zhu. I don't live in the dormitory. My grandmother is from Shanghai. The house has been empty since she passed away. I'm afraid it will get damaged if no one lives in it for a long time. It's a little bigger than the dormitory and not far from the post office." Xiang Yuanchao replied.
"Have you packed it up yet? If not, I can help you." Hong Bin said hurriedly.
Xiang Yuanchao patted Hongbin's shoulder and said, "Hey, I was just about to speak! I just cleaned up a bedroom and barely slept in it, but I haven't cleaned up the rest yet."
"Okay, I'll help you after dinner." Hongbin nodded.
"We can also go and help." Dongzhe suggested.
"Thank you, but my home is far from your school, and I'll be worried if I get home late." Xiang Yuanchao refused.
Zhou Huaiyi lowered his head, thinking about something.
After dinner, Xiang Yuanchao and Hongbin went to his house.
Dongzhe and Xiaoting returned to school.
Huang Ling hugged Zhou Huaiyi's arm and said, "Let's go!"
"Let's sit for a while before we go. If we go now, we'll have to wait at the train station."
"Let's go and take a look at your house!" Huang Ling looked at him sideways.
Zhou Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just thought about it for a moment, and you saw it."
"What?! I've been thinking about it for a while. You haven't been there for a while. It's good to open the door and let some air in occasionally. Let's go!"
"OK."
