Chapter Eighty-Nine: Discussion and Gifts
Gao Mingda is a low-key but very knowledgeable secretary, he doesn't talk much at dinner and in the study, like a transparent person, but when Du Qiu and the others said goodbye, he took the initiative to ask for help very enthusiastically and drove the three of them back to Jingui Garden.

"Secretary Gao, I'm sorry for you tonight. ”
"Yes, Manager Du is welcome. Before reversing and leaving, Gao Mingda rolled down the window and said to Du Qiu: "Mr. Du, there are a lot of vacant offices in the institute, or I will pick you up tomorrow and go over to have a look and choose the most suitable one." ”
"I've got other things to do tomorrow, I'll get back to you in a few days. ”
"Okay. ”
After Gao Mingda left, the three of them walked along the gravel path in the community towards home, no one spoke at first, and when they were about to reach the residential building, Du Chunhua suddenly said: "Little brother, Principal Chen is a smiling tiger, you have to be careful." ”
"Sister, how do you see that?"
"He knew that you had not studied seriously, but he arranged for you to give a speech at the university, ostensibly praising you, but in fact he was giving you a leg up and wanted to see jokes. ”
Du Qiu was slightly stunned, and then thought about it, he also had a big psychological blind spot after crossing over, that is, he still regarded himself as a graduate student with formal education, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with going to the university to give a speech, but in the eyes of the world, he was just a "folk scientist" who did not have a primary school diploma.
Fortunately, I was reminded by my own mother......
However, with Chen Dayou as my eyes and ears, Chen Zhiyang will not know my strength, and this arrangement should not be aimed at me, but has another plan......
"Sister Chunhua, Mr. Du has even been to the University of California, Berkeley, what is Sanjiang University. Jiang Danfeng helped Du Qiu support the scene, and said with a smile: "Berkeley is a top school in the United States, and its international reputation is greater than that of Beijing University. ”
Talking and laughing, hehe, this word is used well......
"Really?" Du Chunhua didn't go to college and didn't know about the famous schools in the United States, but she knew about Jingcheng University, she was surprised and happy, patted Du Qiu's arm, and said with a smile on his face: "Did you tell our dad about this? If he did, he would definitely laugh from ear to ear." ”
"Just going to some small student events, there's nothing to say. ”
"That's also amazing, not to mention any Berkeley in the United States, even Beijing University, there are very few people in the country who can give speeches, especially young people like you. ”
Du Chunhua only knew that Du Qiu had done a big business in the United States before, but he didn't know how big it was, but tonight he knew that there were tens of millions, and he was very nervous, and when he walked to the door, he reminded again: "Little brother, a big man like Principal Chen is helpful to your career, but there are also disadvantages, you must be cautious, think twice, don't believe what you say, otherwise it is easy to be used as a marionette by him." ”
"I know. ”
"Danfeng, you are more clever, help me watch him more, my little brother is uncertain, he speaks very softly, but he is very stiff in doing things, which is reassuring. ”
Jiang Danfeng hummed a little crying and laughing, thinking to himself Sister Chunhua, you are wrong, Du Qiu only spoke with low eyebrows in front of you, in front of others is a cold-faced god, harder than the iron plate in winter, there is no time for softness at all......
After the three of them entered the house, they found Su Wenxiu and Lin Jinyan sitting side by side, drawing in front of a model of a Transformer.
"Mom, look, this Optimus Prime that Aunt Wenxiu taught me to draw, is it good?"
"Awesome, beautiful drawing. ”
"I haven't finished painting yet, so when I'm done, I'll ask my uncle to take it to the United States and give it to Sister Kiki. ”
"Little girl, then you have to follow your aunt to draw well. Su Wenxiu put away the paintbrush that Lin Jinyan had spilled on the ground, and said, "Don't stop painting halfway through, you know?"
"Got it, Aunt Wenxiu, when I'm done drawing Optimus Prime, can you ask me to draw King Shura again?"
"Okay, let's pull the hook. ”
Su Wenxiu is a very petty bourgeois girl, but the difference from ordinary petty bourgeoisie is that if she likes something, she will try it herself, instead of wasting time in a daze and fantasy, so when she used to work in the library, she used to teach herself sketching for a while - at that time she planned to be an amateur fashion designer and design her own clothes to wear.
Jiang Danfeng saw that Su Wenxiu and Du Chunhua's mother and son were intimate, and the jealousy that had disappeared grew again.
Before leaving New York, Du Qiu drew up a list for her to send gifts she bought from the United States after returning to China, and there were more than a dozen people on the list, each with a relationship after their name, among which they were either "partners", such as Su Wenhai and Wang Huihui, or "Lin Jinyan's little partners", such as Wang Xiaoya and Lin Feifei.
There is only one person who wrote "friend" on the note, this person is Su Wenxiu, and the gifts he gave were also more attentive, like Su Wenhai and Wang Huihui, all of them were foreign wines, although the price was not cheap, but they were chosen casually, and Su Wenxiu was specially selected Parker duofold fountain pen, the style was the same as that given to Du Chunhua, but the color was different.
Why is she always one step ahead of me......
Could it be that in her previous life, she was a queen and I was a concubine?
"Wenxiu, I'll sleep with you at night. ”
"Okay, let's just chat together, last time we were in the capital, ......"
Lin Jinyan probably felt that he had been robbed of attention, stood between Su Wenxiu and Jiang Danfeng with crossed hands, waved his little hand and said loudly: "Aunt Wenxiu, I want to sleep with you, let Aunt Jiang go and sleep with my mother." ”
Jiang Danfeng bent down, held his knees with both hands, and said with a smile: "Sincerely, is it okay for the three of us to sleep together at night? Auntie is very good at telling stories." ”
"Okay, I'm going to sleep in the middle, and you and Aunt Wenxiu will sleep on both sides. ”
Du Qiu, who was drinking water next to the dining table, squirted out, causing three women who didn't know the truth to look sideways, he took a few tissues, wiped them, and said with a dry smile: "I accidentally choked." ”
You little pervert!
I didn't fly double when I was in New York, and you actually played left and right......
Lin Jinyan's left and right hug was not successful, after taking a bath, Du Chunhua was caught in the master bedroom, and soon fell asleep, Du Qiu used a laptop in his bedroom for about an hour, and when he came out of the bathroom at about 11 o'clock, he vaguely heard the two girls in the second bedroom whispering, which was mixed with laughter, probably chatting about gossip between girlfriends.
Before Du Qiu left Yuncheng in March, he resigned as a design manager and became a design consultant without a salary, and the next day he went to the company for a half-day shift, and several newly recruited employees of the creative design department got to know each other, exchanged some opinions on new products and TV commercials, and so on at about 11 o'clock at noon, he walked into Du Chunhua's office, asked for leave and said: "Sister, I will go to my brother-in-law to have a look, and by the way, I will return the money I borrowed to him." ”
Du Chunhua agreed, and said: "When he came to see Jinyan a few days ago, he said that he planned to sell the auto parts store to others, and then go to the city government to open a car wash and repair shop, you go to see if there is anything to help." ”
Wasn't it in 1996 that my father changed his career to open a car wash......
Opening a car wash near the city hall is a good way to do business......
When I arrived at the auto parts store, I found that most of the parts had been sold out, and the guy had also dismissed, and the shop was empty, but Lin Dawei and Liang Jinyu were both there, and they were negotiating a contract with a customer for the sublease of the store.
Liang Jinyu has been pregnant for more than six months, wearing loose and fat clothes, from a capable professional white-collar worker when they first met to a lucky expectant mother, when she saw Du Qiu's expression was a little unnatural, but she still said hello very warmly, and after negotiating the contract, she locked the store and found a hotel with the best grade nearby to entertain him.
"Sister Jinyu, when will you and your brother-in-law have a wedding?"
"We have already obtained the certificate, and we plan to wait for the baby to be born before inviting relatives and friends to have a meal together, which is considered a wedding. ”
"Congratulations, congratulations. Du Qiu casually said a few words that were appropriate for the situation, and then asked, "Has the baby got a name?"
"Not yet, I'm going to let my dad pick it up. Lin Dawei was very considerate to help Liang Jinyu peel the shrimp shell, and said while peeling: "We went to the hospital to see it, it was a girl, and now we have a nickname, called Xiaotuanzi." ”
Although the wings of the crossing have not yet fanned the national events, the people around them have been fanned around, but I didn't expect my father to give my little sister such a strange nickname......
"Why is it called Xiaotuanzi?"
"When I went to take a picture of B-ultrasound that day, I saw her curled up like a small ball, so I took such a name. ”
Lin Dawei already regarded Du Qiu as a master, and after chatting about children's topics for a while, he took the initiative to ask: "Ah Qiu, you said that I went to open a car wash and repair shop, did I have a head?"
"Brother-in-law, with your skills and abilities, whether it is selling spare parts or repairing cars, there is no problem, the problem is financial management. Du Qiu glanced at Liang Jinyu, and then said: "You take the goods from Wang Changan, the cost is much lower than others, if you can pay with one hand and deliver with the other, even if the auto parts store can't make a lot of money, it will definitely not lose money every year." ”
Liang Jinyu thought so, snorted lightly, Lin Dawei touched the back of his head and laughed dryly, he has a rough temperament, righteousness and light money, so there are often customers who do what they like, first come to make friends, and then take the goods on credit, and do not settle the payment for a few months or even half a year after taking it.
A large part of the reason why Du Qiu pursues as simple interpersonal relationships as possible and isolates human relations from work is that the negative example of his father is too good, and he has suffered countless losses, but he always does not change, if it weren't for Liang Jinyu's ears like a tigress and strict guarding, it is estimated that he would have gone bankrupt at least dozens of times in his life......
"Brother-in-law, since you are going to open a new store, I will pay you back the money I borrowed in the previous months. ”
"I heard Chunhua say that you have a big business in the United States, if you use it first, I don't have a shortage of ...... here."
Liang Jinyu coughed, interrupted his father's words of slapping the swollen face and fat man, and said very simply: "Du Qiu, since you still call Dawei brother-in-law, and call me Sister Jinyu, you just don't treat us as outsiders, your family doesn't tell lies, I'll tell you the truth, his store has too much money, and he can't recover a few dollars when he goes out, and the rent of the shop near the city government is very expensive, and the funds are relatively tight, if you are rich, you will pay him back." ”
"I've made a lot of money in the U.S., and I'll transfer it to my brother-in-law later. Du Qiu naturally picked up the glass with beer, touched it with Lin Dawei, and asked after drinking: "Brother-in-law, are you free in the afternoon?" I want to ask you for a favor after I finish transferring the account. ”
"Free, what's busy?"
"My sister has a birthday the day after tomorrow, and I want to buy her a car as a birthday present, and I want to ask you to be a staff officer. ”
Du Chunhua's birthday is April 30th, 1995 is exactly 30 years old, the meaning is more special, Lin Dawei has not nodded, Liang Jinyu said: "I am watching in the store, Dawei, you accompany Du Qiu." ”
