This time I'll have to go by myself.
Having prepared everything, Su Xinyi thoughtfully stepped forward to straighten Ye Beiping's clothes, revealing a satisfied smile.
They even brought out the Moutai liquor that Ye Beiping had bought and treasured.
"Since you're going to visit them, you definitely need to bring a gift."
Seeing that it was one of his treasured wines, Ye Beiping felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it. But it wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it; after all, in this era, one could still buy such wine by paying a high price. It was just that looking at it from the perspective of his previous life made it seem a bit too expensive.
If you treasure it for forty or fifty years, a bottle of Moutai that costs only a dozen yuan might become the price of a house, or even a villa, in the future.
But Ye Beiping was equally unambiguous when it came to Jin Aiguo.
As he carried the wine through the living room, he saw the strange man still sipping tea. He said, "That's enough, let's go."
The stranger immediately put down his water glass, glanced at Ye Beiping who had changed back into a red outfit, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Mr. Ye, is this your new product?"
Um?
Ye Beiping was surprised that the man in front of him knew that the clothes were their new product. After thinking about it, he realized that perhaps the old commander Jin Aiguo had inquired about him after coming to Hangzhou, so it was not surprising that he knew.
"Yes, I've never had a chance to wear it before, but I can wear it today since I'm meeting the boss."
The two smiled at each other and left the house.
Behind him, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin both looked worried as they watched Ye Beiping's figure disappear.
Su Xinyi sighed slightly and explained, "Mom, Sister Xiaoxin, you don't need to worry. It's an acquaintance looking for Beiping."
"An acquaintance?" Tao Qiuyan was taken aback for a moment, then muttered, "But judging from Beiping's appearance, he doesn't seem like an acquaintance."
Su Xinyi smiled at this.
"Mom, do you remember when Beiping and I had our wedding banquet, a high-ranking official came?"
After being reminded, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin immediately remembered an old man.
Driving a green jeep, with young men in military uniforms beside him, he looked incredibly imposing, even more so than the officials of ancient times.
Even Hou Baolin and Wu Di's own fathers didn't dare to approach them.
They had even met people like the town mayor, but when facing Old Master Jin Aiguo, they dared not say a word.
However, knowing about this leader, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin were no longer worried and began to eat breakfast without a care in the world.
This surprised Su Xinyi.
Ye Beiping, who had just left home, thought that a green jeep would come to pick him up, just like before.
After all, the old man is very thoughtful in his work.
But as soon as he stepped outside, Ye Beiping frowned deeply. There was a frown from the sun shining directly on his face, but even more so from his bewilderment at the sight of the 28-inch-long carrying pole in front of him.
That's it?
This is completely unlike the style of our former commander, Jin Aiguo.
Seeing that Ye Beiping hadn't moved for a long time, the stranger asked, puzzled, "Mr. Ye, where's your car? Let's ride it and go."
Ye Beiping, who was initially confused, began to twitch at the corners of his mouth upon hearing the stranger's words.
But considering that cars were indeed scarce in those days, he could only suppress his grievances.
She turned to the stranger and said, "Um, I don't have a car..."
Before Ye Beiping could finish speaking, the stranger immediately frowned and interrupted him: "What? Mr. Ye, you run such a big business, and you still haven't bought a car?"
Of course, the vehicle they were talking about was definitely a bicycle.
Let alone businessmen like Ye Beiping, even employees of state-owned factories have bought their own bicycles, and those with money have motorcycles.
"How about... we take a taxi?" Ye Beiping really didn't want to explain this, and he was speechless in the face of the strange man: "Anyway, we'll be back later, so you can come with me in a taxi."
Upon hearing this, the stranger could only nod silently.
"Alright."
With that, the two headed out onto the street to hail a taxi.
During the conversation, Ye Beiping didn't forget to ask the other person's name: "Sir, I'm sorry to presume to know your name. I feel a little embarrassed to keep calling you that."
The stranger looked around but didn't see any taxis. He then turned to Ye Beiping and told him a name.
"Cao Guoqing".
"Mr. Cao... thank you for your trouble." Ye Beiping smiled slightly.
In fact, he had already started to think about it. On the one hand, he was resentful of his superior, Jin Aiguo, for not sending a car when there was one available, and forcing him to walk such a long distance himself.
On the other hand, there was a slight suspicion that the other party might be using Jin Aiguo's name to arrange a meeting, and that it might not actually be Commander Jin Aiguo himself.
