The craftsmanship of the ten construction workers is beyond reproach.
There is no problem at all with renovating the shop and it will be completed tomorrow.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue planned to leave after staying for half an hour.
Before leaving, the two of them went to a nearby restaurant and bought more than twenty large meat buns.
The workers were extremely grateful.
It's been a long time since I've met such a sensible and generous employer.
What a stroke of luck.
On the way back, I met Xiangdong and Xiangxi smoking on the street.
Li Mingqing didn't expect that he would learn to smoke just two days after arriving in the capital.
"Hey, what are you two doing?"
The two of them quickly hid the cigarettes in their hands behind their backs and said awkwardly, "Uncle, we just wanted to taste it."
"How does it taste?"
"It's really not that great, but I still have to learn to smoke once or twice for social occasions, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate."
Xiangdong said honestly.
"Social engagements? What big thing have you done quietly?"
"No big deal. I was just out and about at noon and saw a few people passing cigarettes to each other while discussing business, so I thought I needed to learn something."
"You two are quite studious. Don't get addicted to smoking."
Li Mingqing reminded that if you don’t learn good things, you will learn bad things.
"No, not really. If Mom and Dad knew we smoked, they would beat my brother and me with willow branches. It's just a try. We won't get addicted."
"Take it easy, both of you. Don't get addicted to smoking."
The two brothers repeatedly assured that they would never do that and were just trying to smoke one, which did show some restraint.
Xiangdong said, "Uncle, when will you be home?"
"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go to the clothing market tomorrow to see if there are any suitable stores. I'll open the store next time I come to the capital."
Xiangdong said confidently.
Actually, I already saw a suitable store at noon today, but it wouldn’t hurt to look at a few more.
Li Mingqing said, "If you have any problems, tell me. I may not be able to solve them, but at least I can give you some advice."
"Okay, if anything serious happens, I'll really have to trouble you, uncle."
Xiangdong agreed with confidence.
I have planned it long before the exam, so it shouldn't be a problem.
He had learned a lot from observing others when he and Erniu went to Shanghai to purchase goods.
I think I have some talent for business.
Niu Niu and several other girls came back happily from outside, each holding a small bag that they bought at the department store.
"Dad, look at the new backpack."
She slightly turned her body to reveal the backpack on her back.
"My daughter is pretty, so any bag she carries will look good on her."
"Of course I did. I inherited the good looks from my parents."
——
The next day.
As soon as Li Mingqing went out, he saw Ding Yi standing at the door.
"Brother, when did you come? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
Ding Yi handed over the box in his hand, "Just arrived, this is the wine for Uncle Li."
"That's thoughtful. Thank you on behalf of my father. But how did you know I was coming to the capital?"
"Commander Xu told me. Why didn't you come to my house after all the hard work of coming here? It just so happens that I don't have anything to do this month."
He was very grateful to Li Mingqing.
Mr. Ding passed away peacefully and without pain thanks to the treatment provided by Li Mingqing.
Otherwise, based on Mr. Ding's previous health condition, he would have died long ago.
"So that's what he said. I thought you were busy so I didn't go."
"I'm semi-retired now, not on any missions. How long have you and your family been living in the capital?"
"I'll be back tomorrow."
"So soon, wait until tomorrow and I'll take you to the station."
Li Mingqing declined, "Goodbye, it's just a few steps away, no need to see me off."
"I happen to be off duty tomorrow, so it's settled."
After Ding Yi left, he went to the store to pay the workers who were renovating the house.
As he was finishing up the checkout and cleaning up the shop, a man came in.
Li Mingqing put down the broom and took a look. It was a familiar face.
It was the person I met when I bought roasted sweet potatoes before.
He clearly saw that the person opposite him was stunned for a moment after seeing him.
The person who came was Wu Qingfeng.
Wu Qingfeng didn't expect to meet Li Mingqing here.
He heard from Wu Linlin that the person surnamed Li was specially invited by the research institute to give lectures and also went to Peking University and Tsinghua University to teach students.
It was a bit disconcerting to suddenly see him working so down-to-earth with a broom in his hand.
Wu Qingfeng asked tentatively: "Do you work here?"
"The store isn't open yet, go somewhere else."
"Don't you remember me? We met at the roasted sweet potato stall before. You looked like a rich man, but how could you do such a lowly job? Where's your boss? I'm here to discuss business."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingqing immediately understood his purpose.
I came to buy a shop.
It has a good geographical location and a large flow of people, making it a very popular place.
"What business? Just tell me directly."
"Don't try to be so arrogant. Can you make the decision?" Wu Qingfeng looked down on him.
Li Mingqing patted the dust off his sleeves.
He said slowly, "I am the boss. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"You? Boss? This shop is yours!"
"right."
Wu Qingfeng was incredulous; it was actually his shop.
He had been eyeing this shop for more than three months but hadn't found the owner. Unexpectedly, it was Li Mingqing's shop.
Li Mingqing is usually not in the capital, no wonder I can't find him every time I come.
"Since it's your shop, that's easy. Since you're not a local, it's useless to keep this shop. I'll buy it."
“Not for sale.”
"Not selling? It's a bit early to say no before you even know how much I'd pay you."
