Chapter 369 Light Bulb
"Director Li?"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised to see the person coming. It turned out to be Director Li from the meat processing plant in the neighboring city.
"Comrade Su, long time no see."
Li Jianjun saw her enthusiasm and said, "I heard that you went to our city on a business trip some time ago. Why didn't you come to the factory for a visit? It's just right that I'm free today. I'll treat you to a meal."
"No thanks, Director Li. I have an appointment today. I'll treat you another time if I have the chance."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly refused, as she had a mission to accomplish today.
Li Jianjun didn't force it. The two exchanged a few more words before he said goodbye and left.
After the others left, Su Xiaoxiao was about to go in to find Chen Meilan. As soon as she entered, Zhang Xiaohong saw her from afar and greeted her warmly.
"Sister, now that you're here, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you want, I'll treat you."
Zhang Xiaohong pulled her, saying enthusiastically, "That Lao Gan Ma you asked Tieshan to send me yesterday was really good. I have to treat you to a good meal today. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to keep asking you to spend money."
Su Xiaoxiao had already spotted Chen Meilan sitting not far away, and hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaohong, "Sister, I'll definitely come next time. I'm here with a friend today."
Zhang Xiaohong was a little disappointed: "Okay, then next time you must not be polite to me, we have an agreement."
"Of course, then you go ahead and do your work, my friend is over there."
She pointed to Chen Meilan's position and said, "If you like Lao Gan Ma, I'll get you two more bottles later."
"Girl, that thing doesn't look cheap, so don't spend any more money on it."
Zhang Xiaohong waved her hands hurriedly. Her godsister was too real, sending her gifts every few days.
Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry: "Sis, we are just friends. If you continue to be polite to me, it means you don't want to recognize me as your sister."
"Okay, okay, I won't be polite with you. Just go and do your thing. Come and have dinner with me when you are free."
Zhang Xiaohong's eyes were full of smiles.
After Su Xiaoxiao left, the waiter beside her said sourly: "Sister Zhang, you are so lucky. I heard that your sister just became the sales manager of a department store."
Not only did he pick up a girl at random and send her rare gifts every day, but he also became a manager at a young age. Who wouldn't envy Zhang Xiaohong's luck?
"That's right, don't you see whose sister it is?"
Zhang Xiaohong felt proud when she heard the news. She had liked this girl from the beginning, but she didn't expect that she was such a treasure.
Thinking of what Su Xiaoxiao said about making an appointment with a friend, she hurriedly looked over. Her sister was so good, she couldn't let her be deceived by a random man. She had to help keep a close eye on her.
Chen Meilan didn't know she was being misunderstood as Su Xiaoxiao's wild man. She nervously adjusted her hair and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiao Su, do you think this hairstyle of mine is okay?"
She had her hair permed yesterday as Su Xiaoxiao suggested. Now she has her hair down and tied with a yellow floral headband, looking particularly youthful and energetic.
Su Xiaoxiao looked her up and down for a moment, then gave her a thumbs-up in an exaggerated manner: "Very good, very good, Director Chen. Even a girl like me feels stunning when seeing your outfit."
Chen Meilan blushed at her unreserved praise.
She suddenly caught a glimpse of a man striding towards her from the corner of her eye, and quickly winked at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao understood, and soon saw a tall man walking towards her.
His height was estimated to be over 1.8 meters, which was considered a rare tall figure in that era.
The man nodded at her and sat down next to Chen Meilan with a red face.
"Comrade Chen, I'm sorry, something happened in the team that delayed me."
"It's okay, it's okay, we just got here too."
Chen Meilan responded with a blushing face.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them and felt that she was a bright light bulb here, and the highest wattage one at that.
It seems that there is no need for her to stay here to ease the atmosphere, as the glares between the two of them are about to become tearing.
It seemed unnecessary for her, a single person, to continue staying here.
After coughing twice, she said, "Sister Chen, I just remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As he said this, he gave Chen Meilan a secret look.
Chen Meilan blushed and nodded: "Okay, Xiao Su, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I will treat you to dinner later when I have time."
After saying goodbye, Su Xiaoxiao turned around and left the state-owned hotel.
Seeing that it was still early, she was thinking about where to go for a stroll. Just as she got on her bike, she suddenly heard a loud bang, which almost scared her to death and she fell off the bike.
Is this an earthquake or an explosion?
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, I saw a group of children gathered in a circle with stars in their eyes.
In the center of the crowd was an old man with a hunched back.
The old man was bending over and pouring something out of a black gourd-shaped object.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately realized that this was an old-fashioned popcorn machine from the 1970s.
Children these days have fewer snacks, and traditional snacks like popcorn are very popular among them.
Almost every household will come out with popcorn when they hear the sound of popcorn popping, so there is no need to go door to door and shout.
The price is also very cheap. Buyers bring their own corn and bags, and it costs one cent per furnace.
This way of popping popcorn has been eliminated in modern times. People of Su Xiaoxiao's generation have only seen it on videos.
She immediately went over curiously.
I saw the old man skillfully turning the popcorn machine over the fire, and when the time was right, the crowd watching the excitement immediately retreated in unison.
Soon, accompanied by a bang, a group of children jumped and cheered with shining eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao was watching with interest when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
She hurriedly waved and greeted: "Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang."
It's just that the crowd around was too noisy, and the other party looked so anxious that they didn't notice her at all.
What is Miss Zhang doing? Shouldn't she be eating in the company cafeteria at this time?
Su Xiaoxiao had a strong premonition that something must have happened to Zhang Yulan.
Thinking of Zhang Yulan's mother-in-law who came to the department store to cause trouble, she hesitated for a moment and immediately rode her bike to catch up with her.
Sister Zhang was walking, but no matter how fast she walked, she couldn't be faster than the bicycle. It didn't take long for Su Xiaoxiao to catch up with her.
Seeing the other person turn into a nearby alley, she hurriedly followed suit.
Following closely along the way, we soon arrived in front of an old tube-shaped building.
Seeing Zhang Yulan enter the unit door, she hurriedly parked her bicycle beside her, locked it, and hurriedly followed her.
Fortunately, Zhang Yulan didn’t go upstairs very fast, so she easily followed the others to the third floor.
The aisle was littered with all sorts of things, and many people even placed their pots and pans at the door, making the originally spacious aisle seem particularly cramped.
Zhang Yulan walked for a while and stopped at the door of a room at the end of the third floor. She did not open the door immediately, but stood against the door as if listening to the movement inside.
Suddenly, she heard something and her expression became extremely ugly.
