At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zhongmin walked into the gate of the Guicheng Hotel, and a tall young man greeted him, stretched out his right hand to him and said, "Uncle Lu, hello!" I'm Ding Hongxing! ”

"You are Ding Hongxing?" Lu Zhongmin looked at the young man, and also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Ding Hongxing.

Ding Hongxing's first impression of Lu Zhongmin is still very good, he is tall and dignified, when he talks to him, he always has a confident smile on his face, and his eyes are also very clear, without evil spirit, and he has a temperament of poetry and books.

Lu Zhongmin secretly said in his heart that his daughter's evaluation of this young man seemed to be more credible.

Ding Hongxing invited Lu Zhongmin into a private room, invited him to sit down, and then asked, "Uncle Lu, what kind of food do you like to eat?" ”

Lu Zhongmin said deliberately: "You know I'm not here to eat today!" ”

Lu Zhongmin's words were a little aggressive, but Ding Hongxing didn't care, he smiled faintly and said: "Anyway, it's dinner time, since I invite you to eat, then you have to eat well, you better order a few dishes!" ”

Ding Hongxing's response was neither humble nor arrogant, very decent, Lu Zhongmin glanced at him again, he nodded and said, "In this case, then I will not be polite!" ”

Ding Hongxing asked the waiter standing next to him to bring the menu, and then handed it to Lu Zhongmin and said, "Uncle Lu, please!" ”

Lu Zhongmin took the menu, looked at it, and deliberately ordered a few more expensive signature dishes of Guicheng Restaurant, he also wanted to see Ding Hongxing's adaptability, because generally speaking, a middle school student should not bring too much money on him, and if the dishes he ordered exceeded Ding Hongxing's ability to pay, how would he deal with it? Lu Zhongmin is still very curious about this.

Although Lu Zhongmin's first impression of Ding Hongxing is good, it does not mean that he will accept Ding Hongxing lightly, a father is very wary of any pig who wants to arch his own cabbage, if he can make Ding Hongxing a little embarrassed, Lu Zhongmin is still happy to see it.

Lu Zhongmin didn't expect that he would use this to embarrass Ding Hongxing now, which was just hitting the muzzle of the gun.

Ding Hongxing listened to the few dishes ordered by Lu Zhongmin, and without raising his eyelids, he ordered the waiter to hurry up and bring the dishes up.

Seeing Ding Hongxing's reaction, Lu Zhongmin became even more curious, whether Ding Hongxing is really rich, or is he good at cultivating qi, he won't be a swollen face and a fat man, right?

Lu Zhongmin asked, "Ding Hongxing, what do your parents do?" ”

The father and daughter talked about their hearts last night, and Lu Chaohui said all about Ding Hongxing, but he didn't mention anything about his parents and family background, so Lu Zhongmin didn't know anything about it.

Ding Hongxing said: "My father is the workshop director of the Hongxing Machinery Factory, and my mother is a worker in the city's cotton mill, and now she is at home without pay. ”

When Lu Zhongmin heard this, he suddenly had a bad impression of Ding Hongxing, of course he knew about the situation of the Red Star Factory and the Cotton Spinning Factory, the current situation of these two factories is not very good, and the wages cannot be paid, not to mention that Ding Hongxing's mother is still suspended from her job without pay, and the economic situation of the Ding family is not very good, but Ding Hongxing is willing to spend so much money to invite himself to dinner, thinking that it is to please himself, it seems that he is also a student who is inconsiderate of his parents, for such a child, even if he is excellent in other aspects, Lu Zhongmin will not like it.

Lu Zhongmin's face turned obviously cold, he let out a faint "um", and stopped talking.

As soon as Ding Hongxing saw Lu Zhongmin's reaction, he probably knew what Lu Zhongmin was thinking, and he added: "I have opened a store at home." ”

Lu Zhongmin became interested: "Oh, what kind of store did you open?" ”

Ding Hongxing told Lu Zhongmin about the whole process of the philatelic store from buying the store to opening it, if it was someone else, the misunderstanding would be a misunderstanding, but Lu Zhongmin was different, he was Lu Chaohui's father, he had a decisive influence on the matter between him and Lu Chaohui, and he absolutely could not let Lu Zhongmin misunderstand him.

After listening to Ding Hongxing's words, Lu Zhongmin's impression of Ding Hongxing suddenly improved again, he knew that he had misunderstood Ding Hongxing just now, and after listening to the details that Ding Hongxing said, he knew that what Ding Hongxing said could not be a lie.

Lu Zhongmin was also interested in philately and collecting, and he asked Ding Hongxing some questions about philately and collecting, and Ding Hongxing answered them fluently.

Lu Zhongmin asked, "Then how did you come up with the idea of opening a philatelic store?" As far as I know, the price of stamps has been falling for the past two years. ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Uncle Lu, the Chinese pay attention to reincarnation and cycle, isn't there a saying that thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi?" There is also a saying that prosperity must decline, otherwise the trend of China's postal market over the years is not very consistent with these sentences? In fact, now the post market has shown signs of recovery, as early as the second half of this year, and at the latest in the first half of next year, the post market will usher in a peak. ”

Ding Hongxing's judgment is still very reasonable, and it is also in line with the philosophy of the Chinese, and Lu Zhongmin also nodded appreciatively.

While talking, the waiter brought the dishes up, and Ding Hongxing said, "Uncle Lu, let's talk while eating, do you want to drink some wine." ”

Lu Zhongmin said: "It's hot, then I'll drink some beer." ”

Ding Hongxing said to the waiter: "Then come a few bottles of beer and a bottle of Jianlibao." ”

The waiter answered, and Lu Zhongmin said a little strangely: "You don't want to drink some beer?" ”

Ding Hongxing smiled: "I'm still a student!" ”

Lu Zhongmin smiled dumbly, you are a student, but don't you also do such a thing as early love? Of course, he wouldn't say that now, he said to Ding Hongxing: "Aren't there many students who drink now?" Anyway, it's beer, it's nothing. ”

Ding Hongxing shook his head and said: "I don't drink, because I still have to play football, and drinking alcohol is very harmful to athletes." ”

Ding Hongxing's answer made Lu Zhongmin see his self-discipline again, it is really rare for a middle school student to have such self-discipline.

The waiter quickly sent both beer and Jianlibao, Ding Hongxing opened a bottle of beer for Lu Zhongmin, poured him a full glass, opened Jianlibao himself, and toasted Lu Zhongmin.

Lu Zhongmin didn't mention Lu Chaohui's matter for the time being, but chatted with Ding Hongxing casually, Ding Hongxing's extensive knowledge surprised him, and what surprised him even more was that he was neither humble nor arrogant, mature and steady, which made Lu Zhongmin feel like he was chatting with a friend of the same age.
