Zhao Leling thought Xing Baohua ate like a country bumpkin.
Xing Baohua watched as the person who was hosting him drank straight from the alcohol without even sobering up, thinking that this unsophisticated way of drinking was such a waste.
There were only two spoonfuls of caviar. Xing Baohua didn't eat any; she shared it with Su Ya and Peng Qian.
Peng Qian shook her head and said she wouldn't eat it. It wasn't out of modesty; she probably thought it wasn't anything good and was therefore resistant to it.
Fortunately, Suya gave her a subtle wink, encouraging her to try it.
This person won't eat without some bread and steamed buns.
Zhao Leling took a sip of wine and shook her head, saying that the wine was bitter and had a woody taste.
It didn't taste like the wine he had drunk before; it had no sweetness at all.
So they called over a waiter and asked if they had any soft drinks, one bottle for each person.
"This happy water tastes so much better. The happy water produced in our country all tastes like Chinese medicine. You guys should try this foreigner's! Tell me, how is this stuff made? It is said that the formula for happy water is kept as a secret by the United States."
Zhao Leling held up the glass bottle of soda and waved it around.
Su Ya nudged Xing Baohua and asked softly, "About how much have you collected?"
Su Ya knew a little about Xing Baohua buying Happy Water stock, but at that time it was just the beginning of the investment, and she didn't know what would happen later.
"Around 7 o'clock."
"So little?"
Xing Baohua was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain. The bottle of soda was large, and sometimes it wasn't something you could buy even if you had money.
"So, this thing is now considered ours?" Suya asked with a sweet smile.
Xing Baohua quickly shook his head. Although a 7% stake would allow him to join the board of directors, he would not have decision-making power.
So you can make a speech at the shareholders' meeting.
Seeing Su Ya and Xing Baohua whispering to each other, Zhao Leling deliberately interrupted, saying, "Su Ya, do you know one thing about your research on the US stock market crash? The US stock market crash caused heavy losses to many of our domestic manufacturing industries. If you don't even know this, your research topic is worthless!"
Su Ya shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it, and then looked at Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua was unaware that in those days, before trade exchanges had increased significantly, the trade deficit with the United States was not very large.
If there are losses for us, it can only be said to be a loss in a certain industry, not a loss on a large scale.
Xing Baohua picked up his wine glass, swirled it around, and asked Zhao Leling, "What do you mean?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Do you even know what economics is?" Zhao Leling said, annoyed, as she watched Xing Baohua shake his cup.
"I really don't understand, but I'll just listen to it as a story so I can learn something," Xing Baohua said.
He had barely finished speaking when Zhang Jie, who hadn't said much until now, interrupted, "Dude, if you don't understand, you don't understand. Asking won't change anything. Are you in school or already working?"
"I guess you could say I have both, working while studying," Xing Baohua replied.
"Oh! You're doing an internship, right? Which university did you go to, and which company are you interning at?" Zhang Jie helped Zhao Leling continue to probe Xing Baohua for information.
“HKU, currently working at Dami Technology,” Xing Baohua said with a slight smile.
"Uh!" Zhang Jie didn't know how to ask the next question, so he looked at Zhao Leling again.
This means the other party is someone important!
Zhao Leling didn't expect that Xing Baohua had both a degree and a job, even though the rice company was currently very popular.
Is it possible to have a government-affiliated position?
Just as Zhao Leling was about to speak, Xing Baohua's phone rang. When she answered, she heard it was Wei Laisong calling. He asked Xing Baohua two questions and then hung up.
Zhao Leling was so flustered that she couldn't even say a word.
However, upon seeing Xing Baohua's phone, Zhao Leling remarked sarcastically, "Is this your overseas version? I've never seen one like it in China. I'm just wondering, why do you sell the good rice products abroad and keep the bad ones for sale domestically?"
"Are you sure you want to study foreign trade? You don't even understand this?" Xing Baohua retorted.
"This has nothing to do with studying foreign trade. Whether it's mobile phones or pagers, rice comes in domestic and international versions. Why not standardize them and achieve the same quality standards?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua felt that the child was irrational, trying to find fault even though he didn't understand.
Forget it, I won't argue with this kind of kid. If I do, I feel like I'll lower my own standards.
So he turned to Su Ya and said, "Are you full? Why don't we go first?"
Su Ya nodded in agreement. Peng Qian looked at the large piece of steak on the plate, stuffed it into her mouth without saying a word, and chewed vigorously.
"Dude, thanks for the hospitality. When we get to Hong Kong, I'll treat you to shark fin and sea cucumber! We have to go now." After Su Ya nodded, Xing Baohua stood up and said to Zhao Leling in a fairly polite manner.
"We haven't finished eating yet?" Zhao Leling said unhappily with a dark face. He was very happy for Xing Baohua to leave, but it was a different story when Su Ya was dragged away.
Su Ya followed behind Xing Baohua, the two holding hands, and Zhao Leling felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Peng Qian also stood up and followed behind them, saying "Hmm-hmm-hmm" before leaving.
My mouth was stuffed full of meat, and I couldn't swallow it all at once, so I could only grunt and say thank you.
"Lingzi, there's still a chance. After all, the two of you are thousands of miles apart. You won't have many opportunities to meet, will you?" Zhang Jie advised.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and eat," Zhao Leling said irritably.
Xing Baohua went outside and saw that his car was parked not far away.
I stood by the roadside and waved them over.
Seeing Peng Qian still chewing on the very chewy steak, Su Ya smiled and said, "Hurry up and throw it up! It tastes awful. Let's go eat some real Western food."
Peng Qian couldn't bear to part with the little bit of beef in her mouth, so she didn't spit it out and chewed it vigorously until her cheeks ached.
Suddenly, a luxury car stopped in front of Xing Baohua, and someone opened the door for him. Xing Baohua let Su Ya get in first.
