Chapter 21 Gifts for Clients
Outside the gate of the dormitory building 4, a middle-aged man, with a dark face, was sitting on a tricycle, with snow on his stubble, and smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth.
Lu Tao smiled, took out a pack of A Roasted Hongtashan cigarettes from his coat, took one out of it, and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Master Zhang, I'm sorry for you. ”
Master Zhang, who was pulling the tricycle, took it with a smile, rubbed his right hand on the black coat, put the cigarette behind his ear, and pulled his hat down.
"Thanks, young man, remember to look for me on the other side of the road if you have such a job in the future. ”
Lu Tao smiled and nodded: "That master, you wait, I'll go and ask my classmates to help move some, it's not easy to find someone in this cold day." ”
"It's okay, I'll help you move this cigarette after I finish smoking, you college students, how can you do this physical work, you stained your clothes in vain. ”
"Then it's troublesome for the master. Lu Tao looked at the boxes of apples piled up on the cart.
When I returned to the dormitory, I looked at a few roommates and asked, "How is it, how are you guys going to spend Christmas?"
"Have you bought your ticket?" Li Hong looked at him and asked rhetorically, his gaze gradually shifting, staying on the mobile phone in Lu Tao's hand.
"Damn, Lu Tao, are you going to buy a ticket or a mobile phone?" Li Hong, whose eyes widened, jumped up.
"Uh...... The ticket was bought, and by the way, I bought a mobile phone. Lu Tao said.
"It's okay, young man, the shotgun has changed and he has become a local tyrant. Although Li Hong had some envy in his eyes, he still made a joke.
"Second-hand, second-hand. Lu Tao squinted.
"There's a lot of money second-hand, right? Honestly, how much have you made lately?" Li Hong asked, grabbing the phone from Lu Tao's hand and fiddling with it.
"Don't ask, we'll talk about it later, everyone help me move something. ”
Several roommates followed Lu Tao out, looked at the boxes piled up on the flatbed, and said, "Lu Tao, why are you buying so many apples?"
"Yes, are you starting to pour apples again?" Rong Chao was also a little puzzled and couldn't help asking.
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "Isn't it Christmas soon, I plan to bring some apples to the senior brothers on Christmas Eve." ”
Although the big guys are all brothers, there is nothing to say about this little favor at all, but Lu Tao still said: "Brothers, help move it, and go to have a big meal together in the evening." “
"Got it, MD, it seems that your kid is making a hair, I'm going to eat hot pot tonight. Rong Chao was not polite, he ran to the cart, picked up a box of apples and walked towards the dormitory, still muttering.
"It's not productive, I want to eat seafood. Li Hong also ran forward and carried a box directly. One after another, in addition to Zhang Jian, several roommates didn't know where to fool around, and even Lu Tao and Master Zhang, who came to pull the goods, were helping to move.
Uncle Liu, the doorman at the gate of the dormitory building, stretched out his chubby gray head, looked out of the window, and muttered: "Boy, don't make the floor dirty, I'll have to drag it again in a while." ”
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, I'll help you drag it if it gets dirty for a while. While handing a cigarette in, Lu Tao said with a smile.
"Yo, young man, where are you going to smoke Hongta Mountain, this cigarette is not cheap, a pack costs seven or eight yuan." Uncle Liu got a cigarette, and he didn't talk about the land, he sat directly on the chair, listened to the radio, and swallowed the clouds.
After moving all the apples into the dormitory and settling Master Zhang's freight fee, Lu Tao said to a few roommates: "Brothers, help again, tomorrow night is Christmas Eve, I have to send them one by one, these have to be put into the net pocket one by one, and one in one pocket." “
After all, he had to prepare a lot, and if he did it by himself, he would really be too busy, so he had to ask his brothers for help.
Li Hong pretended to be an apple as Lu Tao said, and said, "Only one? Lu Tao, how many customers do you know?" ”
"You're stupid. Rong Chao was also helping, glanced at Li Hong, and said: "People are sent to the dormitory, don't you want to think about how many people are in the dormitory?
Li Hong smiled: "Yes." So many apples, Lu Tao, spent a lot of money, right?"
Lu Tao looked at the list of customers recorded in the small notebook, looked up and said, "It's not much, and this box is only more than 30 yuan." “
"What? That's not much, tsk tsk, it's really rich. Rong Chao licked his lips.
"Oh, I said you, don't worry about this, hurry up and get it done, let's get together in the evening, tonight is mine. ”
Christmas in this era is not so popular, at most, some more open people organize it and have a so-called Christmas party, as for sending apples and flowers to confess, these are mostly done by young people.
Lu Tao originally wanted to send something to a few more important customers, but after thinking about it, he forgot it, after all, this contact has not been long, and it will only backfire if he rashly gives expensive gifts. Besides, people won't want things that are too valuable, but it's better to take advantage of Christmas and have a big apple for each person, which means that peace and security come more heartily.
After a whole afternoon, with the help of a few roommates, it was finally finished, and when I looked at it, there was only one box left.
"We'll eat this box ourselves, you can take it as you like, you're welcome. Lu Tao said to the brothers very gratefully.
"Who's kind to you. ”
"Lu Tao, don't think that an apple will solve it, I have to have a big meal in the evening. "A few roommates talked and laughed, and they were very harmonious.
"Okay, got it, let's go eat seafood tonight. "For a few brothers, he was not stingy when he had no money before, but now that he has money, he is even more generous.
"By the way, you call Zhang Jian, I don't know which girl you went out with again. Li Hong faintly had a sour taste, and seemed to be quite uncomplaining about Zhang Jian.
"What's his number?" Lu Tao took out his mobile phone and asked. Zhang Jian has not returned to the dormitory in the past two days, and he didn't have a mobile phone before, and he didn't remember his number at all.
After asking, I found that several people didn't know, so I couldn't help but shake my head: "I'll talk about it when he comes back." ”
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jiancai returned to the dormitory, and when he heard that several people were going to party, he was not interested, sat on the bed, half lay down, his eyes were blank, and his mouth said weakly: "You guys go." “
"What's the matter?" It was the first time I saw Zhang Jian make such a look, Brother Long asked in a Northeast accent.
Lu Tao also asked, "What's wrong Zhang Jian?"
Zhang Jian sighed lightly and said, "I, Zhang Jianying, am a brilliant person, and I am confused for a while." “
"What's wrong?
"Lost?"
Lu Tao also teased, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "Shouldn't it be a happy father?" ”
I have to say that the relationship is good to a certain extent, even if it seems to be a bad thing, when the situation is not clear, it will still maintain a schadenfreude attitude.
Zhang Jian bounced off the bed, jumped up, looked at a few bad friends, looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not unladylike to meet people, I want to be famous Zhang Jian, how could I meet a few of you." ”
Then he slowly said: "My girlfriend broke up with me. “
"Cut. Several people looked at each other with a sneering expression. Lu Tao took an apple directly from the box, smashed it directly into Zhang Jian's arms, was caught by him, stuffed it in his mouth and nibbled it hard.
"If you don't go, forget it, then you can stay in the dormitory and be sad. “
"In order to pay tribute to my lost love, I decided to have a big meal tonight. ”
