98 Accidental Reunion

After resting at the Wei family for a night, the next morning, Lu Li asked Li Zhengrong to ask for the car keys and headed straight to the Jingbei District Guesthouse in the city. He called Zhu Guoying yesterday, and the two agreed to meet here.

When they arrived at the destination, Zhu Guoying's little jeep happened to meet him in front of the guesthouse gate in Volga. The two of them jumped out of the car and hugged warmly, "Good boy, are you capable now? You actually drove over by yourself and honestly told me where did you stolen it?"

"What's the stolen? You really can't speak. I'm so rich, I still have to steal things? Do you think it's like you? I've been unclean since I was a child?" After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's drive the car in first." Zhu Guoying opened the door of Volga and sat in by himself, "You can drive my car, and I'll try what Volga tastes like."

Luli chuckled and drove into the guesthouse, parked the car in order, and the two leaned side by side on Volga's engine cover, smoking and talking, "Xiaoxiao, Brother Hua wrote to me a few days ago. Speaking of your affairs, I heard that you have gone to Hong Kong?"

"Yes, I came back last month and stayed in Tianjin for a short time, so I went again. I have achieved some initial results there now - if that's the case, it may be a bit early, but I'm always moving in that direction."

"We brothers are both older than you. When I first learned about this, I originally wanted to say that I had eaten more salt than rice you had eaten, and then I used this as a reason to persuade you. But later he said in my letter to me that although you are young, you have a brain..."

"I understand what you mean, Brother Ying, we are close friends, so there is nothing to say. I will never forget the kindness you and Brother Hua treat me."

"Nonsense, dare you forget!" Zhu Guoying leaned his finger and bounced the cigarette butt from a distance. He quickly took out a box and lit another one, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, what business are you going to do there? I heard that you want to sell hot pot?"

Lu Li smiled and suddenly said, "Hey, I remembered it. When I went to Beijing (Beijing), I talked to Brother Hua about asking him to invest in my share, why not, Brother Ying, you can join us too?"

"What do I do when I join in? I don't know how to do business either."

"It's not that you want to do business, but to be honest, I think this kind of hot pot restaurant business can make a lot of money. Since that's the case, let's make a fortune together! Brother Ying, I know that you are in the army now and often don't have to spend money, so you can't say that you don't have any money to do with you? Do you know what the world will develop in the future?"

Zhu Guoying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I heard from Brother Hua to me about this, but to be honest, I can't take away any dividends from you for nothing. Just talk about him. If you are in Beijing (Beijing), you can still help you after all, and I..."

"Why do you say that? The key to making friends is to make friends. Do you think it's just for the other party to help? Besides, when it comes to helping, you have done less? Needless to say, I got such a big mess here. It was you, Commander Liu, and Staff Xiang who worked together to help me settle it. It was Xu Yunjian's last incident. If you hadn't called here, would you be able to solve it so smoothly?"

Seeing his blushing face and speaking as if he was turning on a machine gun, Zhu Guoying scratched his head awkwardly, "Xiaoxiao, don't be angry, I don't mean that. I just think that it was our buddies who helped you to get angry, and I also have such conditions. Now I take your money, it seems that the things I did were all planning for today. I can't understand it in my heart."

"It's okay, who doesn't know who? Even if there is such a bastard, don't pay attention to them. These people around are all hot-eyed and jealous!"

Zhu Guoying laughed, "Okay, my brother will be loved by you this time! By the way, what are your plans next? When will you go back to Hong Kong?"

"I'm here for a week. I'm here to get some necessary things done, and there may be some places that need your help."

"Nonsense, I'll talk about this to me? Tell me, how can I help?"

"I can't mention it yet. I'll call you anytime in a few days."

"Okay, what's next?"

"I won't stay here for a long time. I'll have to leave after a while. There are still a few more families to visit."

"No, why do you have to have a meal? Where are you going, do I know you? Go with you?"

"Okay, go together, you know each other, it's Li Chengsheng."

"I know, I know, the old man who gave you a mouth!"

Luli gave him a blank look, "Why don't you pick up any pot?"

Zhu Guoying burst into laughter.

After lunch at the guesthouse, he drove a jeep straight to the central area of ​​the city, and was still a little far from Li Chengsheng's house. Lu Li suddenly felt a stir in his heart and grabbed Zhu Guoying, "What's wrong, why don't you leave?"

Lu Li closed his eyes slightly, his expression as if he was holding his farts out. Suddenly he screamed, "Oh, I cāo! Brother Ying, let's go quickly!"

"What's wrong?"

Lu Li rushed to Li Chengsheng's house in a few steps. Without regard for rudeness, he opened the horizontal grille door and rushed in with a scream. The few people talking inside turned around. The leader was Cao Xun! "Haha!"

Cao Xun jumped up on the spot, rushed to him, and hugged him tightly, "Xiaoxiao, how about it, buddy, do you mean that? I know you miss us, so I came to my door on my own initiative!"

"This is... a coincidence!" Luli said with a stuttering stuttering: "You...you... are you here alone?"

"I brought a new guy. This is Xiao Sun and Sun. This is Lu Li that you mentioned to you. Just call him Li Ge. Xiao Xiao, this is Sun Jin. Like us, they are all educated youths. After returning to the city, they can't find a job. Later, after someone introduced me, I am now in Tianjin. I will learn from me."

"Okay, okay..." Lu Li nodded without any wits and looked at Sun Jin. He was about the same age as himself, fair and clean, but he was a little taller, with a reserved smile on his face. He stretched out his hand first, "Brother Li."

"Hello." Shaking hands with him, Lu Li's mood calmed down a little, and greeted Li Chengsheng again, and each took a seat, "Hey, how did you know I'm here?"

"I don't know. This time I came here for the clothing, one was for the matter, and the other was to try my luck. If I could meet you, it would be better. If I couldn't meet you, I would have no choice. Xiao Sun and I will have to go back in a few days."

"Why are you in a hurry? Stay here for a few days, load the clothes back first, and then send a telegram to Zhang Qing. Please stay for a few more days and let's talk."

Cao Xun smiled and nodded, "I didn't say that, by the way, Xiaoxiao, how are you doing in Hong Kong?"

"It's pretty good. The first step is to go out. Specifically, you slept with me tonight, so I'll talk to you." Luli smiled and patted his old friend's shoulder, and asked, "By the way, how about my aunt?"

"Okay, be good, good health or spirit. I went to see the old lady before coming out this time, and my mother followed the dumplings with her. Speaking of which, the old lady just missed you. My sister-in-law and I persuaded her for a long time before she was fine."

Lu Li An sighed sadly. His aunt was the only concern he couldn't rest assured! Now that he and her are far away from her, there is no need to mention it. "Okay, if you go back this time, send her a message and say I will rush back as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Lu Li turned around and chatted with Li Chengsheng for a few words. It was nothing more than some trivial matters of the people, but he was born to speak, which made Li Chengsheng laugh from time to time, "Uncle Li, I can stay here for a few days. I will go back first today and see you in a few days."

"No, your aunt has already prepared dinner. Stay here to try our home-cooked dishes in Yangcheng?"

"No, Uncle Li, you have seen it too. Cao Xun came here this time. I have a lot to say to him. Let's wait for the next day. I'll come to your house to visit again." Lu Li insisted on saying goodbye. Li Chengsheng couldn't force himself to stay, so he sent them to the gate. He watched them board the little jeep and then turned around and went back.

"Brother Ying, smoke a cigarette." Cao Xun and Sun Jin sat behind, took out the cigarette and handed it to Zhu Guoying, "Xiao Sun, why are you so ignorant? Light it for Brother Ying."

"Oh, oh!" Sun Jin smiled apologetically, took out a match, and lit the three people in the car, "Well, don't Brother Li smoke?"

"He doesn't smoke." Cao Xun took a sip of the cigarette, "Xiaoxiao, where are you living this time?"

"I originally lived in Brother Rong's place, so now I'll stay in the guesthouse for the time being. Brother Ying, is there no problem?"

"No problem, no problem, a matter of one sentence."

After driving all the way back to the guesthouse, Zhu Guoying arranged two rooms for them and left temporarily. Lu Li and Cao Xun had time to say serious things, "Xiaoxiao, this little grandson, what do you think?"

"It's not a big problem, it's just a little lack of eye value."

Cao Xunha laughed! "That's right! This kid is similar to Xu Yunjian. He just stumbles and moves. If he doesn't call him, he will stand like a fool. Sometimes I'm very anxious with him, but he's obedient."

"That's fine. With your current situation, try not to look for those who are too careless. It's good to have Xiao Sun - let alone him, how is the business there?"

"It's pretty good, but there's not much meat. Zhang Qing and I discussed it. When I go back from Yangcheng, he should run northeast. We two come and go back, but no one can rest anyway. Oh, besides Xiao Sun, there are two others, one named Zhang Liang, and the other is Song Jianhua you know."

"Song Jianhua? He is back?"

"Isn't that? I agreed to give him mutton at the first price per pound, but later I found that it was a bit unsuccessful - the mutton skewers here were very good, and the meat I got was not enough to sell. In the end, my sister-in-law and the others discussed it and simply stopped. Lao Song was quite unhappy about this matter,..."

"Why don't I know about this?" Luli asked strangely: "I went back to Tianjin last month, why didn't you tell me?"

"This is something that happened this month and I haven't had time to tell you yet." Cao Xun said a little embarrassedly.

"No," Lu Li's face was as calm as water, and he shook his head flatly, "This matter cannot be done like this. I have said a long time ago that the first thing to do in business is integrity. People cannot stand without trust! How can I regret it when I agreed with Lao Song? After you go back, tell Xiao... Forget it, I will write her a letter and you can take it back to her."

"Xiaoxiao, just do what my sister-in-law said. We are not very familiar with him, so why are you so self-sacrificing yourself?"

Luli gave him a look in surprise, "Why, I'll go back in person?"

Looking at his strange expression, Cao Xun suddenly became scared. He knew that he had said something, so he shook his head urgently and said, "No, no, no, Xiaoxiao, I have no other intentions. I listen to you and listen to you. So what can we suffer a loss?"

"This is not a question of whether to lose money or not. Cao Xun, I said at the beginning that I gave you all the business in Tianjin because you reassure me. But sometimes, when we do business, we can't just look at the little bit of interests in front of us and talk about Song Jianhua. You think that he cut off his source of mutton, and he had no business to do for a while, so he had to lower his head and return to you, follow you and Zhang Qing to become a friend. What about the future? When one day, agricultural and sideline products such as mutton will no longer become a constraint. He holds grudges in his heart. Once he is separated again, what he does is not as simple as doing business by himself. The destruction of your reputation in front of others and behind others - these things, people who are familiar with us may not believe, those who know little about us? Once you believe it, you will be extremely difficult to save it!"

"Xiaoxiao, isn't it?"

"What I said is indeed a bit alarmist, but the general trend is this. It is important to make money in business, but it is also important to maintain your next friendship with your peers. You can even make less money when necessary."

"Okay, I remember. When I go back, I will tell Lao Song." Cao Xun asked, "Xiaoxiao, how is your situation when you go to Hong Kong this time?"

Lu Li smiled proudly, "Cao Xun, I have experienced a big event recently in Hong Kong!"

"Oh? What's the matter, hurry up and talk about it."

“…………”

By the time Lu Li finished speaking in one breath, nearly half an hour had passed. Cao Xun widened his eyes and said silly: "Then, you are not injured, are you?"

"No, look at me now, aren't you doing well?" Luli said with a smile: "But after this time, I have gained some understanding of my skills. I mean, the depth of my skills."

"I understand, I understand." After the initial surprise, Cao Xun also looked happy, "If you say this, you have already paid for decoration and opening. Now you are waiting for the decoration to be over and then transport things from here?"

"Yes. Now it seems that there is no big problem in this regard." Lu Li knew that Cao Xun was a well-established person, so during the conversation, he hid Qian Youen's content. "I am thinking now that if this first step can be gone and the progress is going well, I will expand my business as much as possible. Not only this kind of mutton, but even the vegetables and seafood produced in our mainland, will be continuously transported to Hong Kong. If we can seize this best opportunity, it will be no problem to occupy the vegetable supply market in Hong Kong in the future! At least, we must get a big share of it!"

Cao Xun was excited about it! How many people in Hong Kong? How much food does it take to consume in a year? If he could win such a large market, he would be left to count the money! His face was flushed and his breathing was uneven, "Xiaoxiao, is it really OK? Can you have such a day?"

"As long as you have brains, courage, and relationships, it may not be a dream." Luli said with a smile: 'Of course, there may be a lot of trouble, but it doesn't matter, it's because of humans! We just work towards this goal."

Cao Xun nodded, "Hey, if I had known this, I would have asked my sister-in-law to come with me. When I came out, she told me, how good would it be if I could meet you here accidentally? You said this was a mess?"

Luli didn't say anything, but a strong longing appeared in his heart, "Well, is she okay?"

"Okay, my sister-in-law is very good now. I go to my aunt's house after get off work every day. My sister-in-law is here, talking and chatting with the old lady, coaxing a few little guys. Alas, little girl, my sister-in-law is so nice to you. Hurry up, when she graduates, you will get married quickly. Then we will be lively and lively."

"I know, in fact, I plan so too." Luli said: "By the way, how are you and Xiao Huang?"

"It's not that? She went to school, and I was on Binjiang Road. I asked her to come when I had time, and there was no progress." Cao Xun said: "Hey, where are Xu Yunjian and the others? Didn't you be with you?"

"I originally wanted to bring them here, but they didn't want to move. Maybe they couldn't bear to leave Hong Kong's flower world, right? These grandchildren!"

Cao Xun laughed, "That's right, Xu Yunjian's grandson is the best thing. But Xiaoxiao, you have to keep an eye on him. Xu Yunjian is obedient, but you have to be by his side. If you can't see it at first, he will definitely cause trouble."

"I know, to be honest, I can't do anything about it. He is such a person. What should you do if you ask me to do? Hey, if you miss them, go with me in a few days? Brothers and I have a good time in Hong Kong, and you will come back?"

"No, there are still many things going on in Tianjin." Cao Xun yawned and pulled the quilt down. "Xiaoxiao, go to bed, I'll talk about it tomorrow if you have something to do."

***************************************************************

Cao Xun stayed in Yangcheng for four days and completed the clothing transportation. Finally, it was time to break up. "Xiaoxiao, go home early during the Chinese New Year, everyone misses you too. When we meet at home, I will call Yaohua and the others, so let's get together."

"I didn't say that," Luli smiled and stretched his hand high, shaking him, "The journey is good, and the same thing is the case. Our buddies will have a long time to make money in the future. Don't be anxious and pay attention to your health. Not only you, Zhang Qing, then you will also bring me the words."

"Okay, I know, go back."
