At this moment, the door opened, and an old woman appeared in the doorway, and a yellow dog barked at Li Xin at her feet.

The old woman scolded the yellow dog barking at her feet and asked Li Xin, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Xin saw that she was restraining the yellow dog, and she was not in danger for the time being, so she relieved herself and said, "Fellow, do you sell your persimmons?" I want to buy a few. ”

When the old woman heard this, she turned back to the courtyard and shouted, "Kiko, someone wants to buy something, come and see." ”

After a while, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old appeared at the door, and he asked Li Xin, "Master, what do you want to buy?"

Li Xin said: "Young man, I see that the persimmons in your yard are growing big and red, do you want to sell them?" ”

The young man named Xizi said: "Sell, the big one is 5 cents, the smaller one is 3 cents, how many do you want?"

Li Xin said: "I want the big one, you pick 10 for me." ”

Kiko said, "Okay, come in, I'll find a ladder to go up and pick it for you." ”

Li Xin pointed to the yellow dog at the door with a mane still standing on its neck and said, "Will it bite me?"

Kiko chased the yellow dog with her foot and said, "No, you just come in." ”

The yellow dog still had a low growl in his throat, but under the scolding of his master, he could only walk to the wall and lie down, although he no longer barked at Li Xin, but he squinted his eyes and stared at Li Xin tightly, his eyes were full of hostility.

Li Xin followed Xizi into the courtyard, and saw that several people in the courtyard were busy weaving bamboo baskets.

Xizi found a bamboo chair and handed it to Li Xin and said, "You sit down, I'll go up and pick it for you." ”

After saying that, he picked up the ladder leaning against the wall and set it up on the tree, and then climbed the ladder to pick persimmons.

After a short time, he came down from the ladder, came to Li Xin with a small bamboo basket and said, "What do you think of these?"

Li Xin glanced at the red and big persimmons inside and said, "Yes, just need these." ”

Kiko asked, "Do you have anything to pack persimmons?"

Li Xin said: "No, I came in and bought it when I passed by." ”

Xizi said: "Our family is weaving bamboo baskets for sale, or you buy a bamboo basket, persimmons are not basketed, and the road will be broken." ”

Li Xin said: "Also, this persimmon is ripe, and once it is squeezed, it will not be eaten." How much does this bamboo basket cost you?"

Xizi said: "The small one is 5 yuan, which is enough to hold these persimmons, and the persimmons are a total of 10 yuan." ”

Li Xin took out 10 yuan and handed it to him, saying, "Okay, you can get me one." ”

Kiko took the money, put the basket in her hand on the ground, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a new one." ”

After speaking, he went to the bamboo basket that had been woven by the wall, picked out a bamboo basket that was not big or small, handed it to Li Xin and said, "What do you think of this?"

Li Xin took the bamboo basket that still exuded a fresh bamboo smell and looked at it: "The craftsmanship is good, the weaving is very good, so I want this." ”

Kiko smiled and said, "I'll put the persimmons in it for you." ”

Li Xin watched him put persimmons into this basket one by one, and suddenly realized that the number was wrong, so he asked, "Why are there 12?"

Xizi smiled and said: "I took it to the city to sell it for 5 cents a piece, and now you come to buy it for 5 cents a piece is naturally cheaper for me, so I will give you two." ”

Li Xin suddenly realized: "Then thank you." ”

Kiko said, "You're welcome, come back if you want to buy it." ”

Li Xin said, "Okay. ”

After coming out of the farmhouse courtyard and returning to the car, Li Xin called Jiang Xiaolan: "Where are you?"

Jiang Xiaolan said: "I'm still in the dormitory, and I'll go to the library in a while. ”

Li Xin said: "You wait for me for half an hour, and I'll come over and send you something delicious." ”

Jiang Xiaolan asked, "What's delicious?"

Li Xin said: "You'll know in a while." With that, he turned around and drove towards the city.

There were few vehicles on the mountain road in the afternoon, Li Xin opened the window, and let the mountain wind pour into the car wantonly. These fragrant air with the fields made his mind extremely clear at the moment, and he had already made up his mind to cheer himself up with ambition in his heart: grit his teeth and hold on for another half a year, and if he doesn't believe it, it won't double!

Half an hour later, he came to the downstairs of Jiang Xiaolan's dormitory: "I'm here, you come down." ”

Jiang Xiaolan hurriedly ran down from upstairs: "This afternoon, you don't eat lunch or dinner, what delicious food do you send over?"

Li Xin opened the car door, took out the basket, handed it to Jiang Xiaolan and said, "Look what this is?"

Jiang Xiaolan smiled: "Persimmon?

Li Xin said: "I don't like you to listen to your tone? This is just plucked from the tree in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and there is nothing fresher than this." ”

Jiang Xiaolan asked, "Haven't you gone to work today?"

Li Xin said: "I wanted to do something, so I didn't go to the company in the afternoon." ”

Jiang Xiaolan asked, "You went to the small courtyard of the farmhouse to think about things?"

Li Xin said: "No, it should be said that I was sitting on the ridge of the field thinking about things, and when I passed by the small courtyard of the farmhouse after thinking clearly, I saw that the persimmons in their yard were attractive, so I went in and bought a few." ”

Jiang Xiaolan asked suspiciously: "What kind of troubles will make you run to the ridges in the suburbs to ponder?

Li Xin said: "What do you think? It's an investment thing, how can there be any beauty." ”

Jiang Xiaolan said, "Really?"

Li Xin said: "Of course it's true, don't guess." ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "Then have you thought clearly? Let's hear it." ”

Li Xin said: "Think clearly, otherwise I wouldn't have the heart to buy persimmons to eat." Where can I make this clear in one or two sentences, besides, you don't understand this, so I'll tell you slowly in the future, now you just eat persimmons. ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "You are standing in front of the door of the girls' dormitory with a basket, and those who don't know think you are selling tea and eggs." ”

Li Xin said: "Like, how can anyone drive a BMW car to the school to sell tea and eggs? Oh, you don't think it's good to carry a basket upstairs, right? Don't be so literary, I think you look good like a village girl with a basket. ”

Jiang Xiaolan was guessed by Li Xin, and said embarrassedly: "you, could it be that some beautiful village girl sold you persimmons in the small courtyard of the farmhouse just now?"

Li Xin said: "There is no beautiful village girl in that small courtyard, otherwise I won't come back, hehe." ”

Jiang Xiaolan took the basket and said, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

Li Xin said: "I have already left two. ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "Then I'll go up, where will you go later?"

Li Xin looked at his watch and said, "It's still early, the provincial library is not far from here, I'll go there to read a book for a while, I'll pick you up at half past five, let's go out to eat, how about it?"

Jiang Xiaolan said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of the library then." ”

Liu Zhongzhou let out a long breath after selling the shares of Western Copper at 14.20 yuan. He is generally profitable by more than 40% on this stock, and now this result is the best news for him.

In fact, he wanted to sell the stock when the profit reached 20%, but after thinking about it, he still stayed up until now to sell. He had gone through many sleepless nights in between, and now that he was finally relieved, he suddenly had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

He has suffered from Jin Changxing's exclusion, and now he has no hope for his work future, and now he has the spiritual sustenance of the stock market, and he can still make a lot of money, which makes him suddenly have a feeling of peaks and turns.

Gradually, he became a little more energetic, lit a cigar, and went downstairs to Zheng Guorui's office.

Since being demoted, Liu Zhongzhou has always stayed in his office when he came to the company, and rarely took the initiative to contact anyone. He came over to visit the door in a rare way today, which made Zheng Guorui very surprised: "Mr. Liu, is there something wrong?"

Liu Zhongzhou said: "It's okay, just go around." ”

As a former superior, although Liu Zhongzhou has lost power, Zheng Guorui still does not dare to slack off on him. In front of Jin Changxing, Zheng Guorui didn't dare to stand on Liu Zhongzhou's side, but in private, he was still grateful to Liu Zhongzhou for his kindness.

"Sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea. Zheng Guorui got up and greeted.

Liu Zhongzhou was not polite to him, sat down on the sofa and asked, "The new mine is still semi-suspended, right?"

Zheng Guorui put the brewed tea in front of Liu Zhongzhou and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Zhongzhou said: "When he was asked not to buy the mine, he still didn't listen, so what is happening now? ”

Liu Zhongzhou hated it when he thought of this, and at the meeting, Jin Changxing sarcastically ridiculed him in front of all the executives, and those words are still fresh in his memory.

Of course, Zheng Guorui knew that Liu Zhongzhou was referring to Jin Changxing, and he knew all this, but he couldn't afford to offend Jin Changxing and Liu Zhongzhou, and what Liu Zhongzhou said was not only the focus of the conflict between the two chairmen, but also related to the company's business plan, which now involves tens of millions of yuan in losses.

If he rashly expressed his position, if the words reached Jin Changxing's ears, then he would have a sad life in the future. Therefore, after listening to Liu Zhongzhou's words, he didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly. Besides, at the meeting, he expressed his approval of Jin Changxing's acquisition plan.

Zheng Guorui knew that even if Jin Changxing tried to hide the loss data of the new mine, he still couldn't hide it from Liu Zhongzhou's eyes, because Liu Zhongzhou really knew the Southern Group well.

In Liu Zhongzhou's eyes, among the several generals under his command, Xue Chenzhi has always had the ambition to replace himself, and it is impossible for him to go with him at all, and he can't say anything important.

Huang Hongliang is a person who has no discipline in doing things, and if he has milk, he is a mother, and he is not trustworthy.

Only Zheng Guorui still has a trace of nostalgia, and he still vaguely retains some respect for himself as a last resort, so Liu Zhongzhou talked to him. What's more, even if Zheng Guorui wants to report this matter to Jin Changxing today, it doesn't matter, in that case, maybe he can use this to show his authority to Jin Changxing.
