Chapter 519: Old Classmates Meet
...... "That's it! More than ten seconds later, Gu Liang's voice re-reached Liu Dong's ears.
"What did you just do? Listening to the sound, it seems like you are still gnawing on a book? Liu Dong said with a smile.
"I'm in our school library!"
"Library, you didn't come home after the holidays?" Liu Dong was surprised.
"No, isn't that about to graduate from a senior year? I'm ready to work hard and get into our school's graduate school! Gu Liang said.
"Guzi, you're still as desperate as you were in high school!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"That's it, I'm not as smart as you, so I have to fly first!"
Originally, when he was in high school, especially after he was promoted to the third year of high school, Gu Liang's grades have always been the second in the class, second only to the school flower Mei Xue, but when Liu Dong pursued Mei Xue like a bull in estrus, his academic performance actually rose sharply, and in less than half a year, Liu Dong, who was originally only about 10 in the grade, actually became the first in the whole grade! caused a sensation in the class, and also hit Gu Liang, who originally thought highly of himself, but the two were in the same dormitory, and they had a close relationship, so there was no mutual jealousy! High school students don't have as many fancy intestines as adults!
"Okay, don't be sarcastic about me, you're now the pride of heaven in the ivory tower, and I'm just an ordinary young man in a materialistic society! High school is a thing of the past! …… That's right, since you're in school. Then come to your school gate. I'm here for you! Liu Dongdao.
"Our school gate? Are you in our school now? Gu Liang said in surprise.
"Of course. It just so happened that I came to the island city for some business, so I heard Chang Fangtao and them say that after you go to school here, I stopped by to see you! How? Not welcome? ”
"How could it not be welcome, and I was too late to be happy? …… Okay, wait a minute, I'll go over! After finishing speaking, Gu Liang hung up the phone.
However, it is clear that Liu Dong missed a very important thing. And Gu Liang also forgot to ask because he was excited. You know, there's more than one gate on a huge college campus!
However, there was only one main entrance, so Gu Liang, who was excited to ride over, happened to bump into Liu Dong who was waiting here!
After the two met a bear hug, they let go and looked at each other!
"You're still the same as when you were in high school, but you've grown a lot taller!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Yes, but you've changed too much, in a suit and leather shoes, I almost didn't dare to admit it just now!" After a light thump on Liu Dong's chest, Gu Liang smiled.
"Let's go, it's too cold outside. Let's find a place to sit down for a light meal, and I'm in for a treat. It's almost noon! Liu Dongdao.
"Hey, when I get here, how can I let you invite it, and I'm half a landlord, I should do my best as a landlord, and the restaurant around me is delicious and cooked, so I'll invite it!" After finishing speaking, Gu Liang didn't allow Liu Dongfen to say, pushed the cart with one hand, pulled his arm and left!
Seeing him like this, Liu Dong did not refuse again, and the small restaurant on the side of the road was more conducive to the communication between the two! Otherwise, if you really go to a five-star hotel, the taste will be different!
"This is it, their seafood is the best in our school neighborhood! And the price is not expensive, let's go! ”
Hearing this, Liu Dong looked up at the small restaurant called 'Seafood Restaurant' in front of him, and then walked in behind Gu Liang!
In fact, the scale of this restaurant is not small, but the hall is 200 square meters, and there is a box on the second floor, and the decoration is okay. However, there were only two of them, so there was no need to get any private rooms, so after finding a table in the outer room, the two of them sat down!
"Here, whatever you want to eat!"
Compared with the embarrassment of Liu Dong's family, Gu Liang's family, as an only child, is undoubtedly much richer, so when he was in high school, Gu Liang gave Liu Dong a lot of things brought by his family, and when he arrived at university, his monthly living expenses were rich enough!
"Alright, let's order it! I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything! In addition, you are a regular customer here, and you know better than me what is delicious! Liu Dong said with a smile.
Liu Dong, who has been a big belly since he was a child, has no picky eating like most poor people, because he has not been very rich in what he can eat since he was a child! Throughout the year, except for the things I hunted and the festivals of the year, I rarely see meat at home. So having meat to eat is happiness, even now, Liu Dong has money in his hands, but this habit has not changed.
And Gu Liang, a three-year high school classmate who has a deep understanding of some of Liu Dong's living habits, smiled and did not refuse!
took the menu and ordered 8 meat dishes, the amount of these four people was obviously prepared for Liu Dong!
"That's right, Liu Dong! How have you been doing all these years? Why didn't you attend the class reunion for three years? After ordering, Gu Liang asked.
"It's okay, it wasn't good at first, but now it's much better! …… By the way, how are you? Liu Dong didn't want to talk about himself!
Because he doesn't want money to become a barrier between the two, Liu Dong, who has never gone to elementary school and junior high school, let alone college, cherishes his friendship in high school very much!
"What else can I do? It's just a boring four-year college career! ”
"Don't pretend to be stupid, you didn't have a girlfriend in four years of college?" Liu Dong scolded with a smile.
"Hehe, her hometown is Shanxi, and she has gone home during the winter vacation!" Speaking of this, Gu Liang's face revealed a hint of tenderness! It can be seen that he has a good relationship with his girlfriend!
"Huh, do you have any photos? Show me! ”
"Liu Dong, when did you become so gossipy! Okay, I didn't bring it with me, I put it in the dormitory! Gu Liang said with a smile.
"What a disappointment!" At this moment, Liu Dong faced an old classmate who he hadn't seen for many years, and he also unloaded his usual maturity and stability, revealing the out-of-the-box nature of a young man of his age!
"Hey, I'm done, what about you? You're not going to be a single person now, are you? ”
Hear the words. Liu Dong smiled. He didn't have the heart to say Wang Qiang and Yan Qingqing. Because they are all too beautiful, and the topic is too heavy!
"What's wrong with the single? How easy and free it is to be alone! Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Relaxed? Freely? I think you still haven't forgotten Mei Xue! "As long as you are Liu Dong's classmates, you don't know the original relationship between Liu Dong and Mei Xue, you must know that in the period of high school, when students fell in love with each other, Liu Dong and Mei Xue were the only student couple who were not affected!
The reason is that the two of them have excellent grades, one is the first in the grade and the other is the second in the grade, and they are both the top of the teacher's heart. Therefore, after a simple education sentence, do not affect learning, and indeed did not cause grades to slip, and even after there is an upward trend, teachers will 'open one eye and close one eye'! Coupled with the identity of Mei Xue's school flower, they were the envy of the students of the whole school at that time!
After listening to Gu Liang's words, Liu Dong smiled and did not continue on this topic, but turned to ask, "Gu Zi." I heard Chang Fangtao say that You Qiang is also in Qingdao, have you seen him in the past few years? ”
"You Qiang? I've seen it. But now that he's a seaman, it's only a few months since he goes to sea, so even though we're all in the island city, we can't see each other a few times a year! Gu Liang shook his head and said.
"You Qiang became a seaman?" Liu Dong was surprised, he remembered that his old classmate was obviously a landlubber!
"Well, his second uncle works as a second officer on the freighter of an ocean-going company in Qingdao, so he is also arranged!"
"Really?" ……
The next interesting story of the two of them in high school, their current situation, and the occasional future prospect, it took more than two hours to finish the meal, and of course the bill was settled by the way when Liu Dong went to the toilet in the middle!
Originally, Gu Liang still wanted the two of them to go back to their hometown together, but Liu Dong had to go back to Quancheng first, so he could only regretfully give up this mentions!
In the afternoon, the two walked around the campus of Haida together, so that Liu Dong, a guy who regretted missing the ivory tower, also felt the atmosphere of the university, and did not leave until more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
And when he returned to the Agarwood Pavilion branch, the crowd in the morning had already dispersed, and in winter, the sun was about to set at four or five o'clock, so the antique stalls and pedestrians on the street were becoming more and more scarce, and Ma Liang was leading the logistics staff to clean up the many flower baskets left when the store opened!
According to Donald's opinion, it's a pity that these flower baskets are thrown away, and if you continue to sell them to flower shops, you can still make some money!
Of course, Liu Dong is very much in favor of Donald's frugality, and any behavior that can increase the profits of the Agarwood Pavilion Island City branch will be recognized by him! And this is also a must for a qualified businessman!
"Accountant Liu, how much money did you get from the store today?" After Liu Dong entered the door, he looked at the young man who was pressing the calculator on the counter and asked.
Because the finance of a store in Agarwood Pavilion is not complicated, the requirements for accounting ability are not too high, so Liu Qing, who has just walked out of college for less than four years, but also has work experience, has become the accountant of Agarwood Pavilion!
In the future, he will be in charge of the accounts of the store, and Donald will only be responsible for the specific operation!
"Boss, today we sold a total of 18 antiques, with an income of 2,385,800 yuan, and 23,000 yuan for the preparation of flower baskets and firecracker ceremonies!"
After listening, Liu Dong nodded, "What about the old shopkeeper?" ”
"On the second floor!"
"On the second floor, are there any more guests?" Liu Dong wondered.
"No, the old shopkeeper is cleaning up the antiques in the showroom!" As soon as he heard Liu Qing say this, Liu Dong understood!
Antiques are undoubtedly the most valuable things in the Agarwood Pavilion, and security cannot be relaxed, so at the end of each day, it is necessary for Donald to personally put the collections in the glass cabinet in the safe for preservation, and the key and the password of the safe are only known to Donald alone.
By the time Liu Dong came up, the old man was almost done! After Liu Dong helped put away the last and most precious antique 'Wanli Colorful Flower Goblet', the two went to the pantry next to them together!
"Old Tang, now that the Agarwood Pavilion is open, I am also relieved to have you at the helm, so I am ready to go to Quancheng tomorrow!"
"Back to Springs? I won't stay for a few more days, and after you leave in the morning, many shopkeepers still want to know you! Donald said.
"No, there's a lot of work to do back there! …… By the way, Donald, you are an old veteran in the antique shop in the island city, and you have deep connections, if there are calligraphers and painters with development potential, and seal carvers can choose to sign in to our store! Liu Dong hurriedly said.
"Calligraphy and painting, seal carving? Do you want them to go to the Agarwood Pavilion to place a pen order? As an old man in the industry, as soon as Liu Dong finished speaking, Old Man Tang guessed his purpose!
Liu Dong nodded and said: "Although antiques are highly profitable, they are a minority after all, and counterfeiting will affect the reputation of Agarwood Pavilion and is not conducive to our development, so we must develop new profit channels without departing from the scope of antiques!" Hanging pen list is just one of them, in the future, like the contemporary famous fine ceramics consignment, other silk embroidery, hair embroidery, and even bronze boutiques and so on we can consider! And these things are also related to ancient culture, which is conducive to enhancing the brand and influence of our Agarwood Pavilion! Liu Dongdao.
"According to what you say, won't the Agarwood Pavilion become the former cultural relics store in the future?" Donald Road.
"As long as you make money legally, what does it matter if Agarwood Pavilion is an antique shop or a cultural relics store!" Liu Dong chose to expand the Agarwood Pavilion, one of which was able to use this network to collect his own collections, and the other was to make more money, and he had no money to rebuild the Old Summer Palace!
"Well, you're the boss, and since you say that, then I'll do as you say! However, it is not easy to place a pen, we have no influence at the beginning, and I am afraid that we will not make much money! ”
"It doesn't matter, nothing can be done overnight, let's just take our time!" Liu Dongdao.
"Okay, I got it!" Old Man Tang nodded, it just so happened that the commercial area of the Agarwood Pavilion Island City branch was nearly 800 square meters, but it was not necessary to operate antiques and pen, ink, paper and inkstone at all, and the old man Tang was still thinking about how to avoid waste, but now there is no need to think about it!
In the evening, Liu Dong, as the boss, naturally invited all the clerks to eat in order to celebrate the opening of the Agarwood Pavilion Island City branch, and then distributed 1,000 yuan of red treasures to no one, and then everyone dispersed.
After having dinner, and then sleeping in the 'Badaguan' seaview villa sent by Wei Fei for one night, I took a plane back to Quancheng early the next morning!
When he came back this time, he also began to prepare to go home for the New Year, because there are 13 more days to be the Spring Festival, Liu Dong has missed it three times before, and in the future, especially this time, he doesn't want to miss it again, but before going back, he still has a lot of things to arrange in advance!
