Ning Ziping took Wang Hailan to a small restaurant across from the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as they entered, a waiter came over and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
This is much more enthusiastic than the people in the state-owned restaurant. Ning Ziping looked at the menu on the wall: "One plate of shredded pork with spicy peppers, one plate of homemade tofu, and two bowls of noodles with gravy."
The waiter reported the dishes to the kitchen and brought a pot of water to the couple: "Drink some water first."
Wang Hailan was a little disgusted, but she didn't dare to be too pretentious. She used the water in the kettle to scald the cup, then poured two cups of water and handed one to Ning Ziping: "Ziping, where are we going next?"
Ning Ziping took a sip of water and said, "Let's go back to the village and look for the village cadres. They must know something about the situation. I originally thought that he was transferred from the agricultural machinery station, and the people here must know it clearly. It seems that I was wrong.
We'll buy some things later, then go into the village to ask around. If they don't know either, then we can only try our luck in the city."
On the other side, Luo Qiao lazily answered the phone on the sofa: "Hello, who's calling?"
"Mr. Luo, it's me, Hu Dongxiong."
"Why are you calling? What's the matter?"
"I have something to report to you."
"Go ahead."
"A few days ago, I was on business somewhere else, and the Suzhou base called me three times urgently. When I called back, the person in charge there told me that Chang Qing's daughter Chang Wanyi had gone there, saying that a friend was having a wedding at home and wanted to use Yipintang's dishes, so I agreed.
But no one expected that after the dishes were packed, Chang Wanyi didn't mention payment. She called everyone and drove away. The staff stopped them and wouldn't let them go. She said that her father helped us get the land, and taking some vegetables was her reward.
When I received the call, I thought about not making a big deal out of it, so I asked them to let her go first. I was thinking about going to the Chang family in person and telling Chang Qing about this, but I was delayed because of my busy schedule.
I didn't expect Chang Wanyi to come over again today, this time in a large double-row truck. I don't know what kind of relationship you want to have with her, so I don't dare to deal with it rashly."
Hu Dongxiong understood: "Got it, I'll call right away."
Chang Qing, who was busy at work, was stunned when he received the call. Only when the person on the other end mentioned Yipin did he realize who it was: "What's the matter with you calling me?"
Hu Dongxiong briefly explained the matter: "We at Yipin have never bought on credit. We did it for your sake. Today, your daughter came with a large double-row cab. I guess the money must be considerable. Do you think you can come in person? Otherwise, the amount on credit is too large. We are afraid of getting into trouble. Please understand."
Chang Qing's face turned black on the other end of the phone: "I'll go over right away and ask how much money you owe for the food last time?"
Hu Dongxiong looked at the bill in his hand and said, "It wasn't much last time. It was three hundred and thirty-two dollars and seventy cents in total. Just give me three hundred."
When Chang Qing on the other end of the phone heard this number, he would definitely want to cut Chang Wanyi if she was in front of him.
After hanging up the phone, I checked my pocket and saw that I only had twelve yuan. I quickly went out to borrow from my colleagues, but that was still not enough.
There was really no other way, so he went to the finance department and got an advance on his salary to barely get together the 330 yuan. He thought it would be acceptable if he rounded off the decimal point, but it would be really embarrassing if he let others round off more than 30 yuan.
When he arrived at the First-class Base in a hurry, he saw his daughter cursing: "My dad is her benefactor. She was able to acquire the land in the suburbs because of my dad's help. What? Now she turns her back on me? How ungrateful."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He wanted to say something, but someone pulled him from behind and slapped him in the face: "I really didn't know that I had such ability and could help others get land. Why didn't you say that I could go to heaven?"
Chang Wanyi saw clearly who hit her and her eyes widened. She didn't expect her father to come over.
