Chapter 329 Don’t Let Someone Lead You Into a Ditch
The two people here have their own thoughts. Director Fu quickly changed his mind. The transaction has come to this point, and there is no point in arguing about it anymore.
He thought it over and let them solve their own problems. He just sat facing south and ignored everyone.
Thinking of this, he felt better. "Don't rush back tonight. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
As they were talking, Tang Xiaotang pushed the door open. Both she and Gu Xiaoran had rosy faces and looked youthful and lovely.
"But I heard it, Uncle Fu, and those who hear it will be punished!"
Director Fu said with a smile: "You are indispensable. The three of you should go eat pig's head meat together..."
"Pig head?" Gu Xiaoran had never eaten this before, so he asked curiously.
Tang Xiaotang explained, "It's a small shop run by an auntie I know. The pig head she makes is delicious. She also sells pig ears and pig stomachs. But the best is the pig head, which is fat and lean, soft and delicious. Paired with peanuts and sauce, I wouldn't trade it for anything even a god would..."
"As expected of Old Tang's daughter, she has a very good taste in food..." After Director Fu finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with his words, and he looked at Tang Xiaotang embarrassedly.
He was relieved to find that she didn't care about his mention of Old Tang.
Qiu Huoming glanced at his watch. It was half past four.
"We leave at five o'clock. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there, which is just in time for dinner." Director Fu also glanced at his watch.
"Okay..." Qiu Huoming naturally agreed since he could eat for free.
"Do you all drink soy milk?" Qiu Huoming asked.
Director Fu looked disapproving, "Of course..."
Gu Xiaoran quietly shook his hands and mouthed, "I can't eat it..."
Tang Xiaotang said with a smile: "Don't think I don't know what you are talking about. To be honest, I don't like to drink either. I like to eat sweets..."
The two of them played together again.
The friendship between girls is always intimate, which is different from the carefree friendship between boys.
Director Fu was sipping tea with a smile on his face while asking Qiu Huoming about his uncle.
Qiu Huoming picked out the parts that could be said and roughly explained them.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Director Fu took out a briefcase from the cabinet at the back and said, "Let's go. You guys wait for me at the gate. I still need to say hello to the finance department."
Tang Xiaotang took Gu Xiaoran's arm and walked out, with Qiu Huoming following closely behind.
The three of them didn't wait long at the gate before they saw Director Fu walking out in a hurry.
"Let's go." He led the way with his briefcase.
Several people walked northwest along the curb.
Halfway through the journey, Tang Xiaotang did not forget to introduce some delicious food along the way to Qiu Huoming and the others.
This is the old city area, with densely populated areas and alleys.
The shop specializing in braised food is also located in the alley.
There was a door open on the street side, and I could smell the fragrant marinade before I even got close...
There were a few neighbors waiting at the door with enamel basins in their hands. The one in front bought one and turned around to walk out.
Familiar Beijing dialect was heard at the door.
"We also have dining options here," said Director Fu.
A few people walked through the crowd and squeezed in through the door. Qiu Huoming then discovered that the door here was the kitchen for cold dishes. Walking further in, there was another world.
In the small yard, there was a rainproof awning with three tables inside. Two old men were already sitting on the small tables, sipping Erguotou and eating peanuts from the braised food with gusto.
Director Fu found an empty table, moved the chairs away, and called Qiu Huoming and others, "Sit down."
A middle-aged woman wearing a bib came over. Before she even got close, she burst into laughter. "Old Master, how did you find time to come here? Why did you bring your juniors with you?"
"Oh, they are all very handsome. I like them just by looking at them."
She looked chubby and festive. Director Fu said with a smile, "Bring them here to taste your cooking skills. Give them a plate of pig head, a plate of pig ears, a plate of peanuts and pig stomach, a plate of dumplings, two bottles of soda, and a bottle of Lao Baigan..."
After ordering the dishes, the middle-aged woman exchanged a few more pleasantries and then turned and went back to the kitchen.
Director Fu looked at Qiu Huoming and said, "Will you have a couple of drinks with me later..."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "It's just that my alcohol tolerance is not that good..."
Director Fu looked at him suspiciously, "You tall guy?"
Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "He really can't drink much."
She brought up all the scandals that had happened in the county before regarding Qiu Huoming's drinking.
There was a sudden burst of laughter at the scene.
Tang Xiaotang originally thought that Qiu Huoming was a bit reserved, but after hearing what Gu Xiaoran said, she felt that Qiu Huoming became more friendly.
Qiu Huoming touched his nose, thinking that there was probably no answer to the question of his alcohol tolerance.
My father, Qiu Jianshe, has a low alcohol tolerance, and my mother, Chen Suniang, is allergic to alcohol. My genes are all bad.
The braised dishes were all prepared and served quickly.
Qiu Huoming suggested: "In the new world, men and women are equal. How about having a drink together?"
Tang Xiaotang didn't care, "Okay, I'll have some too."
Seeing that she had also drunk, Gu Xiaoran didn't act pretentiously and said with a smile: "Then I'll have some too."
No one drank the soda on the table, but in order not to waste it, everyone called the proprietress over and returned the soda.
The sky is getting darker and colder, so drink some wine to warm yourself up.
There was a tungsten filament lamp hanging from the electric wires in the yard, which was already turned on. Qiu Huoming took a sip of wine, ate a peanut, and then ate a piece of pork head dipped in seasoning. He immediately understood the mentality of the elderly couple.
He was already in a state of tipsiness, and he felt that everything in the world was good.
Eat braised dishes with wine, the spicy wine goes down your throat and into your stomach, add a dumpling and you will feel comfortable all over.
Gu Xiaoran and Tang Xiaotang's alcohol tolerance is obviously better than Qiu Huoming's.
Their expressions did not change, but Qiu Huoming's face turned red to his ears.
Director Fu, like Qiu Huoming, is the kind of person who gets drunk easily. When several people share a bottle of wine, it is quickly finished.
During this time, the proprietress came over again, asked everyone's name one by one, and then went back happily.
Director Fu smiled and said, "Who knows, someone might come to propose marriage..."
At that time, people got married early, and both men and women of marriageable age were introduced to each other.
Tang Xiaotang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Eat quickly. After eating, I have to go back to the village..."
"It's so late, come back to school with me, we can squeeze in together."
Gu Xiaoran suggested.
Tang Xiaotang was somewhat tempted, "It's not impossible, I've never lived in a dormitory before in college..."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "It's settled then. After dinner, I'll take you back to school, and then I'll go back to the guesthouse..."
He turned to look at Director Fu, "How are you going back?"
"Let's go back." Director Fu yawned, "It's a good chance to sober up."
After finishing a bottle of wine, no one asked for more. After all, they were teenagers, and Director Fu still had some sense of propriety.
"Huo Ming, how are you going to take this batch of goods away later?" He finally remembered this matter.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Just recently..."
After finishing the wine and eating the food, several people got up and walked out.
There are alleys here, and it is easy to get lost at night. Fortunately, Tang Xiaotang is very familiar with the road, and when she got to the main street, she separated from Director Fu.
The three of them got on the bus and started heading towards Tsinghua University.
It was probably the last bus, and there were not many people on the bus, just a few scattered around, including a few who looked like students.
Qiu Huoming felt the breeze and the burning sensation on his face felt a little better.
Gu Xiaoran has already integrated into the life in Beijing. She and Tang Xiaotang sat in the front row, talking and laughing in low voices, while Qiu Huoming sat in the back row.
The night wind poured in through the gaps in the doors and windows, bringing a slight chill.
The nightlife in Beijing is much less than that in Guangzhou.
At this time, it is very lively in Guangzhou, but it is very quiet in Beijing.
Qiu Huoming looked at the trees and the dim street lights outside the window, and the sounds in his ears came and went.
He suddenly missed Zhao Jiamin very much. What was she doing now?
It would be great if she was also in Beijing, I could take her with me to walk around the streets.
Qiu Huoming reached out and touched his still hot ears. There was one more person in this world that he cared about. This feeling made him feel warm, as if he had gained an anchor in this world.
"Hey, Huozi, do you want to come to our school?" Gu Xiaoran turned his head and asked Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to the dormitory, then I'll leave."
Soon the bus arrived at the station and almost everyone got off.
Gu Xiaoran had drunk some wine and was in high spirits. He pulled Tang Xiaotang and waited until Qiu Huoming approached before he started walking into the school.
At this time, the school gate is quite lively, with students buying food at the gate...
There were also some vendors selling daily necessities, setting up stalls, but it was quite deserted.
After entering the school gate, Gu Xiaoran began to introduce the surrounding buildings with great interest.
Qiu Huoming had her as a guide, and he was very excited along the way. Tang Xiaotang took a moment to sigh while taking a quick look at the sights, "It would have been great if I had let it go a few years earlier."
"It's not too late now. You're not too old." Gu Xiaoran comforted her.
After sending them to the girls' dormitory, Qiu Huoming turned around and left.
I'm completely sober now.
Qiu Huoming put his hands in his pockets, feeling the campus in the night breeze.
Along the way, there were many people standing under the street lights reading books. After all, this is Tsinghua University, and everyone has a strong desire for knowledge.
Out of the school gate.
Qiu Huoming finally waited for the last bus.
When we returned to the guesthouse, it was almost midnight.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Qiu Huoming fell asleep soon.
The next morning, Qiu Huoming had breakfast and went out.
He was going to find the warehouse.
Warehouses are hard to find these days. After looking around, he still needed a letter of introduction before the other party would rent the house to him.
Public security cannot be guaranteed.
Qiu Huoming discussed with several places, but all failed for various reasons.
I returned to the guesthouse at noon and had just finished my meal when Chang Gong came to see me.
"It's a good thing you're here. Let's go. The members of the inspection team are in a meeting and are waiting for you..."
He came here on a bike, a little anxious, with sweat on his forehead.
Qiu Huoming closed the door and went downstairs with him.
As usual, he was riding the bike, with Chang Gong sitting behind him. "Uncle Chang, can you recommend any reliable warehouse nearby? I want to store some calligraphy and paintings..." Qiu Huoming asked, suddenly having an idea.
Chang Gong smiled and said, "We have one in our yard. If you want to store calligraphy and paintings, you need a higher ground, otherwise it will be easy to get damp..."
Qiu Huoming was overjoyed, "How do I rent it?"
"You are stupid. You are also an employee of our hospital. Internal rental is very cheap. I will ask for you later. When do you want it?"
"The sooner the better."
"Okay, after today's meeting, I'll go find out."
Qiu Huoming rode his bike in a hurry and rushed to Dean Zhou's office area.
As soon as I entered the building, I was stopped.
The visitor recognized Chang Gong and took them directly to the meeting room.
As soon as I opened the door of the conference room, smoke filled in.
Qiu Huoming almost choked and coughed.
The huge conference room was already full of people, and there were extra chairs placed against the wall. As soon as Qiu Huoming came in, he heard Dean Zhou's voice, "Okay, everyone is here."
Dean Zhou stood up and said, "The meeting officially begins."
The lights were on in the conference room, which was full of heavy smokers. They had probably been waiting for a while, and the smoke dissipated a little through the newly opened door.
Qiu Huoming sat obediently on the chair against the wall, and Chang Gong sat beside him.
He looked around and saw that some of the people here looked friendly. In addition, Old Zhao and another middle-aged man were also there. They sat in the center of the conference room, facing Dean Zhou.
"Young comrade, is that you?" Old Zhao obviously recognized Qiu Huoming, and he greeted him with a smile.
Qiu Huoming quickly stood up and called out, "Hello, old comrade, what a coincidence."
Dean Zhou glanced at them with a half-smile, and the scene fell silent.
Sitting next to Mr. Zhao was Researcher Li, with no expression on his dark and thin face.
"Well, the meeting has officially begun."
Dean Zhou reiterated, "Today we are mainly discussing the overseas inspection, but I just received a notice..."
He frowned slightly, "The agenda has been changed to discuss technical cooperation with Sakura Country..."
There was a sudden buzz of discussion in the conference room.
"Sakura Country has extended an olive branch this time, wanting to join forces with our institute to open a new factory..."
"The condition is that we share our technology with them."
Dean Zhou's expression did not reveal his joy or anger, except for a hint of unhappiness in his slightly furrowed brows.
Elder Zhao listened to the discussions around him and suddenly laughed, "This is a good thing. Sakura Country and our country have been on good terms recently. We all see their technical support for us, including the fact that they spent a lot of money to invest in us this time..."
"They all demonstrate their sincerity. On the other hand, the United States..."
Mr. Zhao sneered coldly: "They just gave us an agreement. It immediately determines who is our friend and who is our enemy..."
"Of course, the Beautiful Country has evil intentions, so it's normal for everyone to be deceived..."
A young researcher stood up and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?" He stared at Mr. Zhao and asked.
Researcher Li stood up and said, "Let me introduce him. He is a specialist who specializes in studying the economy and technology of Sakura Country. Let's call him Mr. Zhao. The leaders above specially invited him here to sort out our current thinking."
He glanced at Dean Zhou and said, "Don't let a few people lead you astray..."
