Chapter 43 Walls have ears

Zhang Wanru met Ji Yuqing at the steel company and heard him talk about buying land.

He smiled and said: "I didn't expect this time to go so smoothly. You see, the land area purchased is larger than Mr. Lu's. Director Ma also assigned the pond to us. It was just picked up for free. I will dig it underground

The garage soil was hauled there to level the ground."

Zhang Wanru looked up at the gray sky, feeling the cold autumn wind and wrapping her windbreaker tightly around her, and asked: "Winter is about to come, what are your plans?"

"Engineers will come over today and plan their entire community first. They also need to circle these two pieces of land. Try to do this well and dig the underground garage as soon as possible. We will do as much as we can this year. You can't help now.

, Mr. Lu arranged for someone to come over to help us, and there are people who will come to help find the excavators we need. I am going to start recruiting technicians, and they will all come here in the spring of next year. Grandpa will fly back in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go back and hand over the work uniforms from the Mining Bureau, and then reopen the hotel. You also know that my mother-in-law's eldest brother is in the hospital. Last time I heard the doctor said that he was on his deathbed, and I have to help with the funeral arrangements.

I'll be back when I'm done."

"Don't worry, you don't want to come here this year. You can only work for a month after winter, and digging trenches won't do anything for you."

When Zhang Wanru returned to Fengcheng City, she received a call from the delivery person. Together they came to the Mining Bureau to meet Director Cao.

Director Cao arranged for people to unload the goods together, and after handing them over one by one, Zhang Wanru came to Director Cao's office.

Director Cao handed him a list and said with a smile: "Send it to me according to the number of computers on it. Several coal mine departments need computers."

Zhang Wanru saw that it said that fifty computers and four 55-inch TVs were needed. She smiled and said, "Okay, if there is a problem, just call me and I will replace it in time."

Zhang Wanru returned to the city, went to China Construction Bank, settled the payment for the clothing with the person who came, and sent him back. Then she went directly to the hotel.

Manager Li is speaking to the new employees who have come to report.

Zhang Wanru saw that all the employees were wearing neat work clothes and they were all very energetic. She went directly to the office without disturbing them. She made a cup of tea by herself, thinking about the opening time, and looked at the list of new employees recruited, from high school to high school.

Song Hui and Zhang Jiye were selected from the diplomas as purchasers and also performed security duties.

Manager Li knocked on the door and walked in. After Zhang Wanru asked him to sit down, she asked: "Are these people okay?"

"Yes. They are all very satisfied with this job and they learn quickly. I have arranged Zhang Xia to work at the cashier. After studying for a while, I will enroll him in accounting class. Who will take over the finance?"

"Now let her record the daily water flow. I will teach her how to do the accounting. I will be responsible for the time being. The water heater, TV and air conditioner will be shipped tomorrow. After they are shipped, you will watch them install them as soon as possible. What do you think of us?

When is the best time to open?"

"After the air conditioners are shipped over, we will install the ones in the lobby and private rooms first, and then install the guest rooms. It will not affect our opening. Now that we are opening, there will be more people eating, and even guests who have accommodation will not be affected. It is just right to open on the weekend.

, this day is October 16th in the lunar calendar. It’s a good day.”

The corners of Zhang Wanru's lips curled up slightly, thinking to herself that this coincided with her.

He smiled and said: "Okay. You can ask the chefs to prepare it in advance. I will spend 30,000 yuan first. Song Hui and Zhang Jiye can drive. Tomorrow I will take them to buy a van. From now on, they will be responsible for it."

Purchasing ingredients and doing security work at the same time.”

Manager Li nodded in approval, and then reported his arrangements to Zhang Wanru in detail. Finally, he asked: "We just lack a gatekeeper now."

"The two of them are in charge of the gate now. I'll just wait until I find time for an older person to come over."

On the afternoon of the next day, the trucks delivering electrical appliances arrived one by one. Zhang Wanru asked people to unload all the electrical appliances needed by the hotel, and then handed them over to Manager Li to watch them install and debug, and then sent the rest to the home appliance store.

After arriving at the home appliance store, I unloaded 200 computers, TVs, and mobile phones, and the rest were sent to the villa of the writer's workshop.

The home appliance store has three more products this time, water heaters, solar energy and air conditioners. The store also seems a bit small.

Manager Meng Qiang suggested that water heaters, solar energy and air conditioners be transported to the second floor and placed there, and employees would take customers who came to buy them up to the second floor.

Zhang Wanru agreed with his suggestion and called Zhang Qian, a clothing wholesale store, to drive over and deliver the computers and TVs needed by the Mining Bureau.

Back at the store, Zhang Wanru saw a gold electronic advertisement delivered to the door. There was a section advertising houses for sale. She saw a building under construction in the north of the city. Zhang Wanru remembered buying houses for several classmates and decided to go there tomorrow morning.

Take a look.

In the evening, Zhang Wanru drove to the hospital and specifically asked the doctor about the patient's condition. The attending doctor said helplessly: "There is basically no treatment plan for his current situation. Staying in the hospital is just delaying time. If the family

Those in poor condition will go home."

Zhang Wanru understood that the doctor meant something unexpected, that she should go home and wait for death. But she couldn't do that for her mother-in-law. So she asked, "How long can I last?"

"Now he is confused and sober. He still has unfulfilled wishes. Don't they have children?"

"I have a daughter in the south. I heard that she will have a second child soon and will not be able to come."

The doctor had gotten to know Zhang Wanru's relationship with the patient in the past few months, so he said bluntly: "It's really a pity. You can make plans for your funeral. It can last for about half a month at the latest."

Zhang Wanru came to the ward and saw her mother-in-law's eyes red from crying, and knew that the doctor was right.

After Zhang Wanru called her mother-in-law out, she asked: "Isn't my aunt back yet? I just asked the doctor that my uncle's condition is very bad. Have you thought about how to deal with the funeral?"

"A few days ago, Wang Shuan, a younger brother of my family, came to visit my eldest brother and mentioned this matter to me. I gave him 5,000 yuan and asked him to find someone to prepare the cemetery first. Someone will come from my hometown by then," Wang Yun said.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

Zhang Wanru took out a tissue and handed it to her, and said softly: "Mom, don't be too sad, we can't take care of my aunt. You have to take charge of the overall situation. Who will take care of it if you are exhausted? You still have to buy it for your uncle.

When the time comes, I will ask someone from the funeral company to come and help with the clothes for the elderly. If you agree, we will entrust them with full authority to take care of it, how about that?"

"We will discuss it when brother Wang Shuan comes over. The custom in my hometown is that there will be a three-day funeral, and people who are close to each other in the village will come out to help. People with high moral character and respect in the Wang family will come out to preside over the official business."

"Okay then. Don't be afraid of spending money. I'm very busy during this period. If I can't pick you up, just take a taxi. Do you still have money in your bank card?"

"Yes, it only cost half of it."

Zhang Wanru added another 200 yuan in commission to the nurse every day, told him to take good care of her, and took her mother-in-law home.

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Wanru came to the sales office of the real estate and saw the model of the real estate. The buildings here were all lower than 18 floors. After the introduction of the sales staff, she learned that off-plan sales had begun.

At 2,500 per square meter, very few were sold.

Based on Zhang Wanru's memory from her previous life, the price of a house like this will rise to about 10,000 yuan per square meter in more than ten years. If you buy it now, you will make a profit.

After negotiating with their manager, the price was reduced by one hundred yuan, and I wanted to buy ten sets.

She was calculating in her mind the classmates who came to the last party. She thought that Meng Haiyun and Su Pengfei gave a gift of two thousand yuan. It would be too much to give them a house. She also thought that they came to buy air tickets with their own money, and this friendship was just

It was rare. So I gritted my teeth and bought one set for them all, and another set for each of my brothers. I decided to buy ten sets of 140 square meters.

She selected a building that would not provide shade, selected the best floor, and paid in full as required. After walking out of the sales office that day, she did not feel distressed that she had spent millions, but felt relieved after exchanging favors.

Pleasure.

In the afternoon, I took Song Hui and Zhang Jiye to buy a medium-sized container truck, called my eldest brother, and together we put the license plate on the newly purchased Mercedes-Benz and bought insurance.

Zhang Wanru went to Jindianzi Advertising Department again and publicized the hotel's opening date and the news of big discounts for a month.

The day before the opening, Lu Mingyu, Zhang Wanru’s uncle Mr. Wang, Director Cao of the Mining Bureau, and even the city sent banners and flower baskets.

On the opening day, Zhang Wanru invited the celebration company to come over for an interaction. In the noisy atmosphere of gongs and drums, Mayor Qiu personally came over and cut the big red flowers for the opening together with Zhang Wanru and Ji Yuqing.

At noon, the hotel entertained the guests who came to have a meal.

In the office, Mayor Qiu smiled and said to Zhang Wanru: "Meng Haiyun will come to take over his position. The handover of work will be official next week."

Then he handed me a list of computers to purchase. He smiled and said, "Please send it over as soon as possible."

Zhang Wanru said with a smile: "Okay. Thank you for your concern. Haha, Brother Qiu and I are still very close. Next year Ji Yuqing's Daxing Real Estate Company and I will build a dormitory building for Shenggang in the provincial capital. We can also have a drink together in the future.

A little wine.”

Mayor Qiu laughed heartily after hearing this, and then said: "It's really a fate. Contact me when the time comes. You are very courageous and thought of entering the real estate industry."

In the next few days, all guests who came within a month were given a 20% discount. There was an endless stream of guests staying and dining. The chefs were also very capable and the dishes they cooked were of high quality.

After Zhang Wanru sent the computers needed by the city, she received another order for three thousand sets of home textiles. She went to Jiangcheng City Textile Factory to buy back more than one million yuan of cloth, found Yu Qianwen, and gathered everyone together.

Processing began in the villa, and her request was to make all the cloth into finished products.

Time flies, and Zhang Wanru is so busy that the New Year's Day holiday arrives in a blink of an eye.

This morning, as soon as Zhang Wanru walked out of the hospital, she received a call from Meng Haiyun. She had come to report yesterday and was making a handover with Mayor Qiu. They made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. The location was decided by Mayor Qiu.

At Fengcheng Hotel.

Zhang Wanru was really not in the mood, but she couldn't shirk it. She hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, this is both a reception banquet and a farewell drink. Can I bring someone over?"

Meng Haiyun pondered for a while and said, "Okay."

Zhang Wanru called Director Hu again and said with a smile: "Uncle Hu, I'll treat you to the hotel tonight and see Mayor Qiu off. You can also meet our new mayor."

"Do you know the new mayor?"

"Yes, he is a classmate of mine in college, his name is Meng Haiyun. I went over to meet him this time, so I can make friends."

"Haha, he's so nice. But what if I still owe you a reward? I know about the hotel and I haven't done anything to help you."

"Hey, let's just pay the debt first. When I need it, I will ask you for it. Don't default on the debt then."

"Haha, you little girl. Okay. Just owe it to you first."

In the afternoon, Zhang Wanru arrived at the hotel at four o'clock, chose a quieter private room, ordered twelve more dishes, and returned to the office to teach Zhang Xia how to do accounting.

It was almost dark at half past five, when Mayor Qiu and Meng Haiyun arrived at the hotel together. Soon, Director Hu also arrived with two bottles of Wuliangye.

Without waiting for Zhang Wanru to make an introduction, Mayor Qiu introduced Director Hu to Meng Haiyun.

After everyone humbly sat down, the waiter made tea. Zhang Wanru personally served everyone tea and water, and she was very considerate and enthusiastic.

Meng Haiyun looked at Zhang Wanru, who looked completely different from the one at that party. She was not only more beautiful, but also more energetic. Judging from the aura she exuded, she was no worse than anyone else present. She was looking forward to taking office.

The little thoughts I had were gradually dissipating. I felt that the sweetheart in front of me was unattainable.

When Zhang Wanru poured tea for him and brought it to him, she hurriedly took it and put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Wanru to develop so much in such a short period of time. Haha, it's really unexpected.

"

After sitting down, Zhang Wanru looked at the three of them with a smile and said: "It is said that there are three gangs of heroes. I only achieved such great achievements with the help of my big brothers. Otherwise, I would still be going to the market in the countryside.

Selling clothes."

Meng Haiyun laughed and said to Mayor Qiu: "Haha, I heard from Ji Yuqing that Wanru goes to the countryside to sell clothes at the market every morning. At first, I really didn't believe it, but it seems to be true."

Zhang Wanru said proudly: "Of course! I went to the countryside to catch the market for more than three months, and it really made me a small fortune. Unfortunately, I can't go again in the end. If I go again, I will be ignored by those who are in the market.

The clothing seller smashed his stall and beat people up."

Director Hu asked in confusion: "Why? Everyone sells his own thing. The order in the market is not so chaotic, right?"

Zhang Wanru grinned and said: "The market is a good market, but I blocked their way to make money. Their clothing varieties are single and the quantity is small, with incomplete designs and colors and incomplete numbers. And I will pull a cart over every time, which happens to be the same as

They did the opposite, and I also put up a banner for direct sales from the manufacturer and bought a loudspeaker to attract customers, and the price was cheap. So I can earn more than five to six thousand yuan every time I go to the market."

Mayor Qiu smiled and said, "Well, you can indeed make a fortune. It would be a pity not to go to the market anymore."

Meng Haiyun said: "Haha, this kind of marketing method of yours will indeed make you rich. Others can only stare at you and not be annoyed. But according to your personality, you won't just give up. How will you deal with it later?"

Zhang Wanru chuckled and said, "You are indeed our squad leader. The real purpose of going to the market is indeed not to make a small fortune. I am trying to attract them to join the team to disrupt the market."

When the three of them heard what she said, they all became interested and listened quietly to what was going on.

Zhang Wanru then told her in general about how several clothing merchants in Liuquan Town treated her to drinks and signed contracts with them. Finally, she said: "I have more than 40 merchants coming to my wholesale store to get their products."

I can earn more than going to the market to buy goods, and I don’t have to work so hard. This can be regarded as mutual benefit with them, and everyone gets what they need. Now some merchants have also made a fortune, and some even bought computers and asked for goods.

You can place an order for us from the computer at any time. Once we have organized the goods, the store’s truck will deliver them to your door.”

The three of them all laughed after hearing this. Meng Haiyun gave her a thumbs up and said: "Haha, you are so awesome. You came up with such a clever trick. No wonder Ji Yuqing said that your clothing business is getting bigger and bigger.

.”

"It's not bad. I opened two branches for retail. I also went to some units to contact the work clothes business, and by the way, I promoted home textiles and summer quilts as benefits to employees in the unit."

Zhang Wanru went through the whole story, but she didn't mention that she bought the cloth herself and had someone process it to avoid suspicion of tax evasion.

When the dishes were all brought to the table, the waiter filled the wine glasses for the four of them. Meng Haiyun said with a smile: "Wanru is the host today, to see Brother Qiu off, and to welcome me. Haha, we two brothers understand it by heart. Everything

The words of gratitude are all in the wine, let’s have a drink first.”

The four of them picked up their wine glasses, clinked them and each took a sip. After tasting the dishes, Meng Haiyun continued: "I didn't expect Wanru to be so courageous. I will be impressed when we meet this time."

Mayor Qiu took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Haha, she is not only courageous but also has a good habit of getting up early and running in the morning. She learned Tai Chi from a Tai Chi master, Mr. Chen, and has learned a lot of good skills. I heard from Mr. Chen

He said that Wanru is the most talented person in martial arts that he has ever met."

After a round of drinks, everyone shifted the topic to Zhang Wanru.

Director Hu smiled and told the story of Zhang Wanru rescuing Liu Yuqing and his wife that night.

Finally, he said: "Haha, she beat three of them by herself, and she beat them all terribly. It's really amazing. I live next door to their family. In their family, his father has two ways of educating boys and girls. This girl did something wrong.

If something goes wrong, his father will use persuasion and education to solve it; if his two brothers do something wrong, he will take care of them without saying a word. Therefore, the boys in their family are more well-behaved than the girls."

Director Hu's words caused the three of them to burst into laughter.

Zhang Wanru glanced sideways at Director Hu, smiled evilly, and said slowly: "Uncle Hu, it seems that the walls have ears. You keep peeking at the good atmosphere in our family."

Zhang Wanru's funny sarcasm made everyone laugh again.

Director Hu covered his mouth and smiled sheepishly and said: "It's not that exaggerated. There is no need to stick to the wall to listen. As long as you stand on the balcony, you can hear your father's persuasion and education to you, as well as the expert advice to your brothers.

The movement of the law.”

Then there was another burst of laughter.

Zhang Wanru didn't care in her heart. As long as everyone was happy today and had good food and drinks, it would be the most perfect meal.

She pretended to be embarrassed and suggested to the two mayors: "You can see how lucky I am to have such a good neighbor. Uncle Hu has solved many major cases over the years and has contributed a lot to the security of our city.

It’s a great contribution, you two big brothers should give me a lot of support.”

Mayor Qiu glanced at Meng Haiyun and immediately understood Zhang Wanru's little thoughts. When he mentioned Director Hu, his father, the deputy director, would naturally take a step forward.

He smiled and said to Meng Haiyun: "Yes, I have already suggested it to Mayor Meng. If you help each other in the future, Fengcheng City will develop better."

Next, Director Hu toasted the two mayors with two glasses of wine respectively.

They began to communicate about work matters. After having a good meal and drinking tea, Meng Haiyun asked Zhang Wanru and Ji Yuqing about their joint venture in real estate.

After the banquet was over and the two mayors were sent away, Bureau Hu returned to Zhang Wanru's office. After the two sat down, he asked with a smile: "I didn't expect you and Mayor Qiu to be so familiar. Thank you, girl."

Zhang Wanru said with a smile: "Do you still remember that I said I would give you a big gift? I just didn't explain it to you because the time was not right. Mayor Qiu will be the mayor of the provincial capital this time, and Meng Haiyun will not fail to buy this face."

Director Hu said with a smile: "Haha, she will think about what you said. I didn't expect that I didn't help you but instead took advantage of you."

In fact, he had already thought of it. Zhang Wanru was killing two birds with one stone. While building a ladder for himself, she also unintentionally helped his father. Looking at the harmless little girl in front of him, he couldn't help but admire her cunningness.

fox.

The arrival of winter makes the streets of the city seem much wider. The little north wind is like a little overlord, but it blows hard, not only blowing people on the street back home, but also blowing away plastic bags and shredded paper on the street.

It blew up and down in the air, and it was a lot of fun.

After Zhang Wanru sent the home textiles requested by the city, she admired Mayor Qiu even more. He was indeed a veteran who had worked hard in the officialdom for so many years. After he was promoted, he did a good deed of giving roses to others with lingering fragrance, and he would do the same.

Extremely grateful to him.

That evening, Zhang Wanru was helping settle the accounts at the development store, but she received the sad news that her eldest brother had passed away, her mother-in-law saying with a choked cry.

Zhang Wanru hurriedly drove to the hospital, where her uncle had already been pushed into the morgue.

Wang Yun was crying outside the door.

Zhang Wanru burst into tears when she heard her mother-in-law's heartbroken cries. She helped her leave the morgue and persuaded her, "Don't break your body from crying. We still have to take care of my uncle's funeral."

After hearing this, Wang Yun gradually calmed down, wiped away his tears, and said: "I have already called Brother Wang Shuan, and they will come early tomorrow morning. You contact the funeral company to come over and send my eldest brother to be cremated. After that, the ashes will be sent home and picked up."

People from my hometown will take care of it when we come down."

After Zhang Wanru went to settle all the expenses, she paid the caregiver's salary and returned home with her mother-in-law.

A night of silence.

In the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen people came to Wang Yun's hometown, including that aunt. But she opened her voice and started trumpeting at Zhang Wanru's house. It looked like she was acting.

Among the people who came from the village was the organizer who was responsible for the official work. After explaining the whole process to Wang Yun, everyone went to the hotel to have breakfast. Zhang Wanru hired a bus for them to go to the hospital together, and the funeral company transported the body.

The people also arrived. After Wang Yun and his aunt burst into tears again, they went to the funeral parlor together.

It wasn't until noon that the sparks were finished. Zhang Wanru bought the best urn for her uncle, and then the group took the urn and took the bus back to the village.

The rest is for the organizer to arrange the wake and mourning, accounting and other procedures.

It was not until evening that Zhang Wanru returned home with her mother-in-law.

On the afternoon of the third day, he was laid to rest.

Before leaving, her aunt called Zhang Wanru to the gate and handed Zhang Wanru a receipt, which crookedly recorded the names and amounts of more than a dozen people who lent them money, totaling eighteen thousand yuan.

Zhang Wanru heard from her mother-in-law that she had already given her all the money she borrowed. The last time she left, she went home to pay off the debt. But she asked for money again. It was just like her mother-in-law said, she was a wolf-hearted woman. Her uncle was hospitalized.

After such a long time, she only stayed in the hospital for more than ten days. When she went home, she never came back and wanted to take this opportunity to ask for more than 10,000 yuan.

I was very tired of her, and when I was about to get angry with her, I saw my mother-in-law looking sad and sad, so I gave up the idea.

If her mother-in-law heard about it, she would definitely have a big quarrel with her. In order to calm things down and prevent others from seeing her jokes, she had to pretend to be confused. She took out the money from her handbag, counted it clearly, and did not give it to her aunt.

It was handed over to Wang Yun's brother Wang Shuan.

He handed him the money and the bill and said, "Uncle, please return all the money you borrowed to the people named on it."

Zhang Wanru brought her mother-in-law home, and Wang Yun only drank a glass of milk, then washed up and went to bed. She was exhausted after these days, and her spirit was also listless.

While Zhang Wanru was taking a shower in the bathroom, she heard her mother-in-law receive a call from Wang Shuan.

Zhang Wanru was thinking that she must have told her mother-in-law about repaying the money.

Then I heard Wang Yun yelling and cursing loudly.

When Zhang Wanru came out in her pajamas after washing, she saw her mother-in-law sitting on the sofa and getting angry.

Zhang Wanru asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"That woman asked you for money again?"

"Yes. I asked Uncle Wang Shuan to pay back all the money he borrowed."

"I already gave her the money. It's so shameless to ask for money again. Why didn't you ask me?"

Zhang Wanru stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I know it. If I tell you, you will have a big quarrel. It's really inappropriate for so many people to watch, and my uncle's body is still cold. Let her be proud of herself.

She has been with my uncle for so many years and never looked at the monk or the Buddha. Don’t take it to heart and go to bed quickly."

Wang Yun said angrily: "Wang Shuan said that they didn't borrow so much money at all. It was the woman who wanted more money. They only borrowed more than three thousand yuan. I'm still thinking that if they borrowed so much money, they would have borrowed it early."

I’m going to perform surgery on my eldest brother.”

Zhang Wanru also had to admire this aunt. She could actually come up with such a way to defraud money. She really looked down upon her. She actually defrauded herself of nearly 30,000 yuan. At this time, she became a little depressed.

Looking at her mother-in-law, she could only say against her will: "Forget it, everything is over. Her life will not be easy if her uncle leaves like this. Even if she goes to the south to find her daughter, she will be left empty-handed. Even if it is yours,
