One dish after another was served, and a waiter brought over two bottles of Moutai liquor.
Team Leader Xiao and several sales staff members were green with envy. They were just minor figures, and usually, when they went out to discuss cooperation, people wouldn't even give them a second glance.
Moreover, with the economy not doing well, the sales department basically has to treat people to meals and beg them to buy beer. There are standards for each meal, and if things aren't managed properly, they might have to pay for it themselves.
Unexpectedly, their fortunes have turned around today, and now someone else is treating them to dinner, serving them such fine wine, and even begging them to buy some.
Tang Xiaolong, being very considerate, poured drinks for everyone and cheerfully began toasting and drinking with them.
After finishing one round of drinks, something suddenly popped into his head: it would be great if Monkey and Fatty were here; they're the wine immortals and wine gods!
Completely unaware that there were two people watching at the door at that very moment.
Because each private room door has a glass window, which was specifically requested by Ye Beiping. Every door must have glass installed, otherwise the outside would have no idea what is happening inside.
If they do something messy, they might not be able to explain themselves clearly later.
At that moment, Ye Xiaoxin and Tao Qiuyan were secretly peeking inside from a corner of the glass window, and they saw Tang Xiaolong fawningly pouring wine and serving food to those annoying people.
She looked at him with her brows furrowed, a feeling of unease rising in her chest, something she needed to vent.
It was always the same old tricks, and Ye Xiaoxin lost interest, so she turned around and left.
Tao Qiuyan, who was behind her, noticed that Ye Xiaoxin had left. She glanced at her again and then followed her.
"Xiaoxin, aren't you going to watch it?"
Ye Xiaoxin pouted and walked to the front desk, saying somewhat irritably, "Those guys aren't good people, what's there to see?"
"But......"
Tao Qiuyan was about to say that they weren't talking about alcohol when Su Xinwan interrupted, saying, "Sister Xiaoxin, I support you this time. The way they looked at me when they came over just now made me feel really uncomfortable. They even asked me if I was an adult."
Women are very sensitive in this regard; they can sense even the slightest unusual look in someone's eyes.
"Look, look." Ye Xiaoxin seemed to have found a kindred spirit and patted the front desk, saying, "I should have known better than to let Tang Xiaolong do this. This meal cost thirty yuan, and just the two bottles of wine cost fourteen yuan."
Upon hearing that it cost thirty yuan, Tao Qiuyan stopped trying to dissuade her, though she felt a pang of regret. She had only earned so many work points in a year in Pingba Village; she hadn't expected a meal in the big city to cost thirty yuan.
Su Xinwan frowned and poked Ye Xiaoxin's arm with the tip of her pen, saying, "Sister Xiaoxin, our cost is only twenty yuan, and the cost of two bottles of Moutai is thirteen yuan."
Ye Xiaoxin and Tao Qiuyan were now in an awkward situation.
"That......"
Ye Xiaoxin thought for a moment and finally found an excuse: "The wine is limited. Even though the cost of two bottles is thirteen yuan, we're only making one yuan less. So, it's only fourteen yuan in total."
"You can calculate it like that?" Su Xinwan stared at Ye Xiaoxin with wide eyes.
"Of course."
Seeing that she had successfully fooled Su Xinwan, Ye Xiaoxin, fearing that she would be exposed, walked out of the restaurant, looked around, and took out a phone book from her pocket.
Once you find a place to make a phone call, call the Pingba Village Brigade Headquarters.
Meanwhile, Su Xinwan and Tao Qiuyan, the receptionists at the Joyful Hotel, stared in disbelief at Ye Xiaoxin's disappearance. They exchanged a glance and sighed.
I don't know what's wrong with Ye Xiaoxin today, she's in such a bad mood.
Could it be... that my period has started?
Just then, Ye Xiaoxin dialed the Pingba Village brigade headquarters' number four or five times before finally getting through.
"Hello." A deep, middle-aged man's voice came from inside.
It sounds like Hou Yongping's name.
Ye Xiaoxin was overjoyed to hear a familiar voice and immediately asked, "Uncle Hou? It's me, Xiaoxin."
"Oh, Xiaoxin." Hou Yongping's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. He asked, "What's up with your call?"
"Um, Uncle Hou, could you call Beiping for me? I need to talk to him about something."
"Okay, I'll hang up now. I'll have him call you back later."
Beep beep beep!
Soon the phone went dead.
Ye Xiaoxin didn't know why, but after hearing the familiar voice hang up the phone, she felt a little sad.
Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar streets outside, I suddenly missed the flowers and plants in Pingba Village, and the crops in the fields.
Spring planting season is probably just around the corner.
"50 cents."
Just as Ye Xiaoxin was lost in thought, the voice of the convenience store owner suddenly came through.
"oh oh."
Ye Xiaoxin responded, then took out some money from her pocket, handed one bill to the shopkeeper, and said, "Boss, I'm waiting for a call. Here's the money for you, I'll make up the difference if it's not enough."
The shop owner smiled and accepted the money.
You know, it takes a long time for anyone to make a call here because phone calls are too expensive, and few people are willing to make a call. The phone line, which cost several thousand yuan, hasn't even broken even yet, and the owner is worried.
He was overjoyed when someone was willing to use it and even paid in advance.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xiaoxin squatted down by the roadside, glancing at the direction of the phone from time to time.
Five minutes.....
Ten minutes.....
Fifteen minutes...
Half an hour later, the phone finally rang.
Ring ring ring!
Ring ring ring!
Before the boss could even reach for the phone, Ye Xiaoxin picked up the receiver and asked, "Hello, is this Beiping?"
