Chapter 5 Old Classmates Gather(1/2)
The old classmate and good friend was extremely cordial when they met. They didn't say a few words on the phone. After the cordial greetings now, Ling Xiao asked: "Well done, why did you think of transferring back? I was hanging out in Ersui County.
Can’t go down anymore?”
Liang Haocheng, who is of medium build and slim, chuckled and said, "Yes, I heard that you are doing well now, so I'm here to join you. What do you want?"
This guy is a state cadre and will definitely not come to his place, but Ling Xiao still joked: "Yes, I just want to find our original group of guys. I just asked for a basketball stand from the Electric Power Bureau and prepared it.
We'll install it at the sales station, and at least six people will be enough to fight for half a game."
"That's good, I haven't touched a basketball since I started working, but how much salary are you going to give me?"
"Haha, I must make more than you do now."
"Are you talking big? I earn at least eight hundred a month in Ersui County. Can you give me one thousand?"
At this time, Ling Xiao was stunned and asked: "Are you the one talking big words? Aren't you assigned to a certain company in Ersui County? How can you earn so much?" I heard what Liang Haocheng said that time, but he didn't
Sometimes I don’t pay much attention to where people work and what they do.
Liang Haocheng said proudly: "Stone company! I have been the mine manager for the past six months, and earning 800 yuan a month is not considered extra money."
"Ah? How much can you earn?" Almost everyone was amazed at the same time, which made Ling Xiao even more doubtful. He asked: "Then what are you doing here? I searched all over Wuzi and couldn't find anyone who could give you 800 yuan."
unit."
Liang Haocheng spoke to them seriously: "Do you know Jia Ruomin, the deputy secretary of Qingchiling Township?"
Among Qian Xiaodong and several others in the room, only Ling Xiao nodded and said: "We know each other, but those guys in Qingchiling are so awesome that they may not recognize you even after drinking once. What's wrong?"
"Jia Ruomin found a granite mine in Quegou Village, Diba Township. Somehow he found out that I was engaged in stone mining. He made a special trip to ask me to come back and mine stones for him as the mine director. He also promised me a monthly salary of 800 yuan.
, and promised to transfer my application back to Diba Township, so I ran back." Liang Haocheng chuckled after the introduction, and said a little embarrassedly, "The most important thing is that my family introduced me to a partner, and I came back to prepare for marriage.
."
"Oh, who's the girl? Is she pretty?" They all became excited when they mentioned the object, and stretched their necks to ask.
"She has the same profession as Ling Xiao's wife, but she is in Chengguan Middle School, more than three miles away from the city. She is neither beautiful nor ugly, and anyone can tell she is a woman."
They burst into laughter. After laughing, Zhang Lijun scolded in disbelief: "Are you fucking talking nonsense? A high-ranking cadre who earns 800 yuan a month is also good-looking. Is it possible that the person he is looking for is beautiful? I'm cheating.
What are we doing? We are not robbing you, and our wives are not ugly either."
A few of them laughed and agreed, but Liang Haocheng said seriously: "Why are you lying to me? You will know when we meet you later. We are from rural areas and our family conditions are not good. It would be great if we can find someone with a job. Besides,
What does a wife want to be beautiful for, so that she can be eaten? As long as she doesn’t look disgusting.
Like me, once I go up the mountain, I don’t go home for ten and a half months, so I marry a beautiful girl to be seduced by others? Haven’t you heard? An ugly wife is close to the land and the family treasure, marry a docile one who can live a good life, and is honest and responsible.
As long as the baby is ours, if you want a beautiful one, as long as you have money, there will be no shortage of it."
This guy's insights were quite interesting, and they made them laugh again, thinking that his words really made sense.
Ling Xiao was still curious about his profession and asked with a smile: "Haocheng, you didn't major in coal mining, so why are you picking rocks? Mining rocks is quite profitable?"
"Coal is also a stone. They are both majors in geology, and mining stones is also a good match. As for whether you can make money or not, it depends on the quality of the stone you mine. Good quality is very profitable, but bad quality may not be mined before it is mined.
You have to pay compensation, and some people don’t even have to wear pants because of this compensation.”
"Why?" Ling Xiao's curiosity aroused, and he wanted to break the casserole and ask the question.
"Okay, you two! I heard you getting sour when you came in. Are you trying to belittle those of us who didn't pass the exam?" Yao Yong became impatient after hearing this.
Zhang Lijun echoed: "That's right, look, Li Jianwen and Nie Fu have been selected, let's quickly discuss what kind of wine they can buy for us to drink at night. Finally, after these two guys opened the funds, Ling Xiao still opened it for them, ruthlessly
Kill them once!"
Li Jianwen and Nie Fuxuan came together on a bicycle. When they entered the door, they heard Zhang Lijun saying that he wanted to kill them. Li Jianwen smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of you killing them. Nie Fuxuan and I will each offer twenty yuan. Is that enough for you to kill?"
Liang Haocheng took the words and glared: "What, isn't that only forty yuan? It's not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth. No, I have to kill Ling Xiao today. If I don't kill you, you can't afford to kill Ling Xiao. I have to kill Ling Xiao a hundred and eighty yuan anyway."
Ten yuan.”
Qian Xiaodong smiled and said: "Forget it, kill me today. One hundred and eighty yuan is too little to kill Lingxiao. Let's go to the Educated Youth Hotel."
Now they were all happy and were about to go out with a smile, but Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Then I will kill Xiaodong today, but don't go anywhere else. It's right here. There are wine and food. I have arranged for people to prepare it."
.Come on, go over now, there are ready-made fried peanuts, let’s drink them first.”
A drinking party with classmates is the happiest thing. Several classmates came out of Qian Xiaodong's office and walked to the back with laughter, until they reached the last row. Ling Xiao set up a place in this row of rooms to provide food and drinks for the leaders.
To play the small stronghold, there is a wall separated from the middle of this row. There is a moon door in the wall, and inside the moon door is the small stronghold.
As soon as they walked into the Moon Gate, a person rushed out of the first room in a panic. He was the security guard of the factory, the Six Bad Boys. Ling Xiao saw that the Six Bad Boys wanted to run away without even asking, so he shouted: "Six Bad Boys"
, what are you doing?"
The Six Bad Guys said in a squeaky tone: "I, I'm asking Wenwen to borrow something."
"Oh." Ling Xiao ignored him and looked at the house where Liu Badi trotted out. It was already dark, and the lights were not turned on in the room. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, but he had already guessed that Liu Badi had just run out.
exist
What are you doing in there, because this is a room specially prepared for Wenwen, and now Wenwen is dedicated to managing this small stronghold. He and Qian Xiaodong looked at each other and smiled knowingly, and shouted into the room: "Wenwen, are you here?"
"Here, here! Secretary Ling, are you okay?" Wenwen's sweet voice became a little flustered. As the words came out, the shy look on Wenwen's face could be seen in the light outside.
"I thought you were off work. Can you leave a little later? When you're done, go back with Accountant Zhang."
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
Ling Xiao asked her to follow him and went into a small restaurant and told her to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks first, and then help Jingyi cook and cook.
Qian Xiaodong smiled happily when he heard this: "Jingyi cooked the food? That's great, I haven't had a chance to taste it yet."
Ling Xiao smiled proudly and said: "Haha, try it today, it will definitely be better than Mr. Zhu's craftsmanship."
They were already sitting around the round table. Liang Haocheng blinked and understood, and immediately said to Ling Xiao: "Okay Ling Xiao, you are really shaking now. I brought Zhang Jingyi here specially to serve you. Is this intentional?"
Makes me so jealous?! You should know that Zhang Jingyi’s beauty is looked at not only by the boys in her class but also by the boys in our class every day.
As soon as I saw Zhang Jingyi outside, everyone immediately stopped talking and just stared so hard that they couldn't see her! Hehe, there are still many people who peek through the glass windows every day. Damn it, all the girls in our class combined
You are not as good as Zhang Jingyi. Ling Xiao, you bastard, you made our idol your secretary and cook. You are too unworthy, right?"
"No, I couldn't find the master at once, so I asked Zhang Jingyi to step in temporarily. You should have seen it at that time, right? I rely on Zhang Jingyi very much. Xiaodong and I don't often come here, so Zhang Jingyi is almost the person in charge here.
"
Qian Xiaodong asked Wenwen for three bottles of liquor, put the wine on the table and said with a smile: "Even Fu Xuan and Jianwen also know that Ling Xiao takes good care of all the students who come here. Wu Lixin in our class, you may
If you don’t admit it, she used to work in the same company as me, and Ling Xiao also transferred her here years ago and made her an accountant in a construction company."
Xiaodong was relatively clear about Ling Xiao and Jingyi's affairs, and helped Ling Xiao to smooth things over. Nie Fuxuan and Li Jianwen, who were kept in the dark, also echoed. Liang Haocheng was still thinking about the past, but actually didn't care, and still told them because
Interesting stories caused by Zhang Jingyi’s beauty.
But when Yao Yong saw the wine and a plate of peanuts on the table, he became greedy. However, he saw that the packaging of the wine bottle was simple and looked very old, so he picked up a bottle and looked at it for a few seconds.
Eyes complained: "Xiaodong, is this why you want to invite us to drink? What kind of bad wine? Are you trying to fool us?"
"Hey! You are blind at first glance, and you call Jianzhuang wine a bad wine. Do you know? This wine is produced by Wuliangye Winery. In the past ten years, if you want to drink it, you have to buy it by ticket. You have no way.
You can’t buy it with money at all. Drinking this wine requires high-ranking officials in the county, and only those with status can drink it.”
Liang Haocheng was not convinced by Qian Xiaodong's words and said: "Xiaodong, go ahead and fool them! This kind of wine is everywhere in the store. I don't drink it now. If I want to drink it, I have to drink it for less than five yuan."
Qian Xiaodong raised his neck, picked up a bottle of wine and shouted excitedly: "Look carefully! When was this wine? Is it the same wine you are drinking now? This has been stored in the warehouse of the sugar and wine company for more than ten years.
Old wine is the kind that only county leaders could drink in the past. Take a good look and see what year it was produced. If it weren't for you, Ling Xiao and I would still be reluctant to take it out."
Being bluffed by Qian Xiaodong, they fell silent. Liang Haocheng took the wine from Qian Xiaodong's hand and carefully looked at the small print under the trademark. At this time, Ling Xiao had already picked up the last bottle and was about to unscrew the lid, smiling: "
Xiaodong is right, this is indeed good wine, open it and smell what it tastes like."
When the bottle cap was opened, a strong aroma of wine filled the room. They all couldn't help but praise the smell and couldn't wait to feast their eyes on it. They were all classmates and low-level people. They were not particular about it at all and shouted loudly.
Screaming and pouring wine from a big glass
, each person filled a large glass without any polite words. He lowered his head and took a big sip of the wine that was about to overflow. After drinking, even Liang Haocheng, who was used to drinking good wine for more than five yuan, had to call for good wine and asked why.
You can get the old wine from the past.
This wine is really old wine stocked by the county sugar and wine company. Qian Xiaodong did not lie.
Qian Xiaodong has been working in sugar and wine companies since he fell in love with Jiang Zhujun. Within a few days, he got to know the people in the sugar and wine companies. Later, he became more and more familiar with the managers. After he became the deputy manager and deputy director,
Because of his high status, he could treat him to a few meals. For his wife, he curried favor with the leaders of the sugar and wine company. He invited and dined with them a few times, and the relationship got better and better. When he heard that Ling Xiao was planning to build this stronghold,
he
I know that there are still a lot of good wines in the warehouse of sugar and wine companies, and they are all old wines that have been accumulated in the past. Although there are not many famous wines from the Seventeenth National Winery, there are many low-end wines in famous wineries, and they are all mellow and sweet, and they are guaranteed to be fake.
The wine still comes in boxes and pieces, and the prices are the same as in the past. When he told Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao asked him to buy as much as he could, and it didn't matter if he spent a few thousand yuan to come back. Anyway, there would be no shortage in the future.
Inviting people.
Qian Xiaodong went to find the manager of sugar and wine, who was worried about occupying the warehouse. Because all along, the first two managers still missed the good old days when people came to ask for help before selling one or two bottles, so they regarded these wines as treasures.
Reluctant to sell it, it has disappeared from the county market for many years. Nowadays, the variety of wines on the market
It is much richer and the packaging is much prettier. Even the officials who used to like to drink this kind of wine have stopped drinking it. Ordinary people either can’t afford it or they don’t know the product. Now they are put out in stores outside because the packaging looks old and inconspicuous.
, few people cared about it, so it was backlogged in the warehouse.
