Lu Yiming came to Huacheng last month, but he didn't go back because he wanted to see the products at the Canton Fair.
Most of his business is in Huacheng, and he has to travel here several times a year.
Lu Yiming ordered a batch of coats some time ago, and went to the garment factory with his men today. When he came back, he saw Han Zhenyu and his wife knocking on the door.
He smiled and turned the bell on his bicycle, "Zhenyu, sister-in-law, you are finally here."
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu turned around and saw Lu Yiming and a man riding on bicycles.
"I've been thinking about coming here for a long time. I went on a business trip to Hai City some time ago, and I asked for leave as soon as I returned to the factory." Han Zhenyu responded with a smile.
Su Xieqiu also greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Yiming, long time no see."
"Yes, sister-in-law, I still often miss the mutton hotpot I had at your house."
Lu Yiming opened the gate and invited the two in. He then asked about the twins and the others, "Are the children all right?"
Han Zhenyu smiled and shook his head, "It's fine, but the twins are getting naughty. Knowing that we are here, the brothers asked us to say hello to you."
"We should bring them here to play for a few days. I miss them a lot." Lu Yiming said.
He parked his bicycle in the yard and said to the young man who followed him, "Huzi, go say hello to Lao Liang and ask him to prepare a table of food and send it over."
"Yes, Brother Lu." Hu Zi parked the car in the yard and went to the alley opposite.
Han Zhenyu quickly said, "Just eat something casually, don't make it so troublesome."
"No trouble." Lu Yiming led the two into the living room, and said with a smile while pouring tea: "Zhenyu, sister-in-law, Lao Liang's cooking skills are good, let him cook some local dishes for you to try."
"Thank you, Yiming." Su Xieqiu said politely.
She looked at the living room layout, which was clean and simple. There was a mahogany coffee table and a set of leather sofas next to it. There was nothing extra, and it was obviously a temporary residence.
Lu Yiming placed two cups of tea in front of them. "Zhenyu, sister-in-law, this is my temporary place to stay in Huacheng. It's a little shabby, please don't mind it."
Su Xieqiu took the tea and said self-deprecatingly, "Yiming, you are too modest. Such a nice house is located in the center of Flower City. If this is still considered shabby, then our farmyard can only be considered a thatched nest."
Lu Yiming sat on the sofa opposite them with a smile on his face.
He shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, compared to this place, I prefer your courtyard. It is full of life and makes people feel warm and comfortable. Living there, I really feel like the years are peaceful and quiet."
Hearing Lu Yiming's love for the courtyard, Su Xieqiu smiled and invited: "Since you like it, you can stay there for a while when you are free. You are always welcome at home."
Lu Yiming is Han Zhenyu's business partner, and she has a good impression of Lu Yiming. He is young and promising, yet low-key and introverted. It is rare for someone of this age to have such a demeanor.
Lu Yiming picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said jokingly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, but don't complain that I go there too often in the future."
Su Xieqiu said, "How could that be? You are Zhenyu's good brother. The children at home like you very much. Our whole family is very happy that you can come."
Han Zhenyu also smiled and said, "After you left last time, Chenchen and the twins kept talking about you for a long time. They were reluctant to eat the biggest watermelon in the backyard when it was ripe, saying they would save it for you. They didn't wait for you to come, and they were angry for a long time. They kept complaining that you didn't keep your word, and my ears got calluses from listening to you. It wasn't until I received the toys and clothes you sent me that I realized you hadn't forgotten about them."
Han Zhenyu finished speaking, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "I don't know if you sneezed during that time?"
Lu Yiming laughed happily after hearing this. "I was wondering why I always had a sore nose for a while. It turns out those brats missed me."
The three of them sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. In the evening, Lao Liang came over with his two sons to bring food.
All the dishes are local specialties of Huacheng, and the table is filled with them. They are colorful, fragrant and delicious, which makes people's appetite whetted at first sight.
Lu Yiming asked the two to sit down at the dining table and brought out two bottles of wine. He smiled and asked Su Xieqiu, "Sister-in-law, would you like to drink something?"
Su Xieqiu quickly waved his hand and said, "I can't drink it. You two can drink slowly."
"Then sister-in-law, eat more vegetables."
When Lu Yiming heard that she didn't want to drink, he poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Han Zhenyu and kept one for himself.
The two clinked their glasses and began to drink and chat about the Canton Fair.
Lu Yiming lowered his voice and said, "The control is strict now. We can only follow and see if we can make some connections. They all have good stuff in their hands."
This is also the reason why Lu Yiming asked Han Zhenyu to come over.
The people who come to the Canton Fair are all leaders of large factories from various places. If you can strike up a conversation with them and become familiar with them, you may be able to get some goods from them and resell them in the future.
Han Zhenyu understood what he meant and was grateful to him, but he also had his own ideas.
He is just a small section chief now, with little influence. Even if he has established connections, others may not take him seriously.
Han Zhenyu knew very well that people from different classes could not get along well, so there was no need to rush to get along now.
Moreover, he did not trust people he had just met, and would not buy goods from them.
He has a family, and before the policy is relaxed, he would at most resell some things. He would not do anything risky, nor was he in a hurry to make a lot of money.
In the next few years, I just need to earn enough to support my wife and children, and then save some capital. I can start a business after the reform and opening up.
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "Yiming, your sister-in-law and I came out this time just to go around and learn more from you. You know me, I have a lot of children at home, and I dare not have other thoughts. At most, I can get some goods from you, but I dare not trust others."
"It's okay. If you need anything in the future, just get it from me. I'll keep you posted if there's any good stuff."
Lu Yiming understood his concerns and nodded in understanding.
Han Zhenyu is different from him. He has no background and no one will take responsibility if something goes wrong. The whole family depends on him, so he dare not take any risks.
Han Zhenyu smiled and raised his glass, "Thank you, Yiming."
"Why should we be polite?" Lu Yiming drank the wine in his glass and filled up the two glasses.
Su Xieqiu did not interrupt. He just listened to their conversation quietly while eating.
When she heard Lu Yiming say that he had ordered a batch of coats from the garment factory, she suddenly became interested and made up a lie and asked:
"Yiming, we heard on the train that there are people in Huacheng who are opening small workshops to make their own clothes. Is that true?"
