The next morning, Jia Dongsheng finished his exercise and returned home. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were already up.
The expressions on their faces remained the same as usual, without any difference at all.
However, when Jia Dongsheng looked at Qin Huairu, his expression was a little unnatural. But on the contrary, Qin Huairu did not feel uncomfortable at all, as if what happened last night was just a dream and nothing happened in reality.
If it weren’t for the fifth girl last night, Jia Dongsheng would have really thought that what happened with Qin Huairu was just a dream.
However, since Qin Huairu didn't mention it, he certainly couldn't mention it either. After dinner, Jia Dongsheng went to the steel rolling mill.
He wanted to find someone to renovate the house, especially to install a bathroom inside. This kind of craftsmanship could not be done by just any worker.
Therefore, Jia Dongsheng planned to ask Li Huaide to see if Li Huaide recognized him.
This time when he came to the house, Jia Dongsheng did not come empty-handed, but brought a bottle of red wine.
There is a wine cellar in the homestay, which has everything including red wine, white wine, cocktails, whiskey, XO, etc.
Most of them are imported, and a small part is domestically produced.
In later generations, there were many domestically produced red wines, cocktails, and whiskeys that tasted great, but Jia Dongsheng could not bring them out.
This is because all domestically produced wines have a production date on their packaging or bottles, so once this thing is brought out, it is impossible to explain it.
Therefore, Jia Dongsheng could only get imported wine.
The words on the bottle are all in Spanish, simply because the wine is produced in Spain. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, not many people would learn Spanish.
In fact, imported red wine could be purchased in China in the 1960s, for example at Lao Mo's Western Restaurant or the Friendship Store, but it was not available to ordinary people.
Even Li Huaide and Jia Dongsheng probably don't qualify.
This is because when Lao Mo Western Restaurant was first established, its main function was to receive foreign guests. It was only after the 1960s that it gradually opened to the public, but it was very expensive.
As for the Friendship Store, the one in Sijiu City was not open yet, only the one in Shanghai was open.
Of course, even if you can buy it at the Friendship Store, if you don’t have foreign currency, they won’t sell it to you even if you go in. So, even if there are products there, you still can’t buy them.
Therefore, imported red wine was definitely a rare item during this period, and it was very prestigious to give it as a gift.
After arriving at the steel rolling mill, Jia Dongsheng went straight to Li Huaide's office.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Watching Li Huaide's secretary knock on the door, Jia Dongsheng stood aside waiting.
"Enter."
Li Huaide's voice echoed in the office. The next moment, Li Huaide's secretary walked in. Not long after, he came out again and said to Jia Dongsheng, "Director Li asked you to come in."
"Thanks."
After saying thank you, Jia Dongsheng pushed the door and walked into Li Huaide's office.
"Dongsheng, why are you here?" Li Huaide was a little curious. This was the first time Jia Dongsheng came to see him.
After receiving Li Huaide's signal, Jia Dongsheng sat down and spoke: "Brother Li, I came to ask you something."
"You need me for something?"
Thinking this in his heart, Li Huaide was a little excited. He was not afraid that Jia Dongsheng would come to him for something, but he was afraid that Jia Dongsheng would be unwilling to come to him for something.
It’s because Li Huaide always wanted Jia Dongsheng to owe him a favor, but he never had the chance.
China is a society based on personal relationships. As long as Jia Dongsheng has a personal relationship with him, Li Huaide feels it will be much easier to talk to Jia Dongsheng about any problem.
"What's the matter, Dongsheng, tell me." Li Huaide sat upright and said.
"That's right."
Jia Dongsheng told them he wanted to renovate his house and install an indoor bathroom. "Brother Li, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you know any workers who have the skills to do this?"
"Hey, Dongsheng, I thought it was something else, this is too simple."
Li Huaide laughed: "We have workers like this in our factory."
"Well, our factory?"
Jia Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Brother Li, aren't we a steel mill? Do we still have construction workers?"
"What are you thinking? We are not talking about the same thing."
Li Huaide waved his hand and explained: "Our factory is now building tube-shaped buildings every year. Although we are still in the exploratory stage, you have seen the house I live in. It was built by these workers."
"I see..."
Jia Dongsheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "I'm renovating the house now. It probably won't take more than a few days. Installing a firewall and building an indoor bathroom are a bit troublesome. Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to hire a builder of a tube building?"
"It's nothing, don't think too much about it. Your little job will only take a few days. It's just a matter of me saying hello."
Seeing Jia Dongsheng hesitate and seem to want to refuse, how could this be possible?
Li Huaide quickly said that there was no problem and asked, "Dongsheng, when do you want to renovate it? I will arrange for someone to come and help you."
"Brother Li, how much does that cost? Let me calculate it."
"Dongsheng, are you slapping your brother Li in the face?"
Li Huaide pretended to be dissatisfied: "It's just decorating the house, do you still need to spend money? I just said hello and came over. Just tell me when to decorate it, and leave everything else to me."
Hearing this, Jia Dongsheng couldn't help but give Li Huaide a thumbs up. This was a very magnanimous thing to do.
"Okay then, Brother Li, I still need to find a place to live while the renovations are underway. By the time I'm done, it'll probably be June, so let's set the renovations for June."
"Okay then. It's June now. I'm sure you'll have everything sorted out by then."
