Chapter 20: The Theory of Relations
Several people pushed their bicycles on the road like this, and everyone tacitly agreed that they did not propose to ride, which made Liu feel an inexplicable weirdness.
Is walking fun? Besides, the bicycles pushed are all the kind of old antiques that seem to be permanently weighted, although the wheels are round, but they will be tired after pushing for a long time, right?
"I said Haizi, I suddenly felt that I was tired, did you take me for a while."
Liu Ji completed his task and was in a good mood, so he began to laugh at Zhang Mohai.
"If you shut up, I promise no one will take you for a dumb person."
Zhang Mohai turned his head and glared at Liu Zheng angrily, and said viciously.
He felt that the current Liu was very annoying.
Zhang Mohai feels very good now, he has never felt so good now, he finds that talking to the girl he likes is a kind of enjoyment, especially when that girl is very simple and willing to listen.
But the good atmosphere was messed up by Liu Relative's words.
"Oops!"
Listening to Liu Xiang's words, Deng Wei suddenly screamed as if she remembered something, and her expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Mohai and Li Fei asked at the same time.
"I suddenly remembered that I had something to do at home, and I had to hurry home."
Deng Wei looked a little anxious, and her face turned red again due to nervousness.
"Oh, then let's do it, you let Zhang Mohai accompany you to go home quickly, and I'll just walk back by myself."
Liu felt that he was a little inauthentic, and he would throw his arms and leave after achieving his goal, but following him would definitely affect the speed of everyone.
"You don't have to send it, you let Zhang Mohai take you back, let's go by ourselves, it's okay."
Li Fei spoke, she and Deng Wei were in the same village, and they took care of each other, and he saw that Liu was relatively inconvenient to ride a bicycle, and it would take a lot of time if he really wanted to walk back.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I'm all about exercising."
Liu smiled at each other, this is a thank you for Li Fei's kindness, and she glanced at Zhang Mohai again, which means that buddy is interesting enough, creating an opportunity for you.
Seeing that Liu's attitude was relatively resolute, Li Fei didn't insist anymore, and Zhang Mohai also understood, nodded and said, "That's okay, anyway, your home is not very far from here, just work hard." ”
Ryu waved goodbye to everyone and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
Li Fei pursed her lips, but still didn't speak after all
Unexpectedly, there was someone in the house today.
The iron gate was not locked, Liu Zheng pushed open the iron door and smelled the aroma of stewed chicken as soon as he entered the yard.
Quickly walked upstairs and walked into the kitchen, sure enough, my mother was busy there, and when she saw Liu Zhuang's greedy face, her mother smiled and said: "I have to wait a little longer, the stewed chicken should pay attention to the heat, you go wash your hands first, and it will be good for a while." ”
Liu Ji really doesn't care much about what to eat now, but he is willing to make this gesture to cater to his mother's psychology, which mother doesn't want her children to like the food they cook?
The father came back early today, and it is estimated that both parents are worried about their injured son.
The stewed chicken is really fragrant, and I don't know if it's because of my state of mind, or because my mother's craftsmanship has really increased, Liu Zhao ate three bowls of rice in one go.
He himself is left-handed, because of the wound on his right shoulder, he can only put the bowl on the table and eat it with his head down, the rice grains are scattered and fall on the table, his father is a person who came from a hard life, and he can't waste it, he gently picked up the rice grains that Liu Zhao dropped on the table and put them in his bowl, and looked at Liu Zhao a little ashamed.
But my father's eyes were very gentle, and there was no blame.
After eating, Liu Zhao followed his father to the balcony, he wanted to talk to his father about continuing to go south to see the grain, this matter must be grasped, the sooner the time, the greater the certainty.
But before he could speak, his father spoke first.
"Xiuyi's father came to the store today."
"Oh?"
Liu Xiang was a little surprised, he was surprised not that Secretary Wen could find the address of his father's grain store, but that he was surprised that he came in person.
"Xiuyi's father is not simple"
Liu Rushan took out a cigarette, lit it and took a hard puff, that comfortable appearance couldn't help but make Liu Zhao swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"If you guessed correctly, Xiuyi's father should be Wen Youfang, secretary of the municipal party committee."
After two days of hospitalization, coupled with rushing to school, Liu Zhao forgot to introduce Secretary Wen's identity to his father.
He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Secretary Wen personally invited our father and son to his house this Sunday night, and he asked us to wait at home, and someone would come to pick us up when the time came."
The father smoked unhurriedly and talked unhurriedly, but Liu knew that his father must have something to discuss with him.
"That's a good thing, we should go, didn't we promise someone?"
Liu didn't figure out what was on his father's mind.
"It's a must to go, but what gifts should we bring? People are the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and if we take it lightly, it seems that we are not respectful enough, and if we take it heavy, it seems that we are sloppy. ”
My father's brow furrowed, looking uncertain.
Before resigning from public office and going to sea, his father was also a member of the system, but he belonged to an enterprise unit, and he was very clear about some official situations, so he was worried about the gifts he brought when he went to the secretary's house.
The leader is willing to call you to the house for dinner, then it means that people have fully recognized you in their hearts, although the current Liu Rushan is no longer developing within the system, but if this relationship is maintained, it will have unexpected benefits for his future business.
Liu Rushan is a person who follows the rules of the market, but it doesn't mean that no one will trouble you.
With the relationship between Secretary Wen Youfang, Liu Rushan will be very confident.
Liu relatively fully understands his father's entanglement, but in his opinion, this problem is not a problem.
"Dad, I think you're thinking a little too much, in my opinion, this matter is easy to handle."
Liu Rushan glanced at Liu Relative suspiciously.
"We didn't go to Secretary Wen's house this time to ask for him, but to a thank-you banquet, and you can see from Secretary Wen personally inviting you that he always feels that he owes us a favor in his heart, so we must let him return this favor."
Liu looked at his father who was becoming more and more confused and explained: "The strongest relationship between people, in addition to parents and children, is to be regarded as friends who appreciate each other, and sometimes, the relationship between friends is higher than some blood ties. ”
"What we have to do is to make friends with Secretary Wen, not to use each other, if we take too many gifts, even if we don't have any ideas ourselves, Secretary Wen will have ideas."
Ryu begins to explain his relational theory, which is a summary of his past life.
"Now Secretary Wen feels that he owes us a favor, and he wants to return this favor, so he made what he thinks is the most sincere way, and the best way for us is to accept it indifferently, and then get along indifferently."
Liu Rushan listened very seriously.
"Watching Secretary Wen and listening to his comments, he is a very honest and fair official, and the way he appreciates getting along with each other, I think it should also be the kind of gentleman's friendship who is as indifferent as water, so we do too much, it may backfire."
"He is now grateful and grateful to us, this is not the way friends get along, if there is really something to trouble Secretary Wen in the future, once or twice is okay, if there are too many times, it will become bad, coercion to repay, the gentleman disdains, people disdain, our relationship will stop there."
"A friend is an equal relationship, so we have to make him forget about gratitude and gratitude in order to be friends."
Liu Rushan's eyes lit up, and for the first time he found that his son was very good at analyzing people's hearts.
"And what do you mean to buy?"
Liu Rushan asked.
"I think it's good to buy some oranges, apples and bananas."
Liu Rushan frowned after listening to Liu Relative's suggestion, and couldn't help but say: "Isn't this too disrespectful, after all, it is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and people invite you to the house with great fanfare, so they don't plan to hide their identity from us, since they know their identity, isn't it good to be so casual?" ”
In fact, Liu Rushan's worries are very reasonable, but Liu relatively doesn't see it that way.
"Dad, friendship is cultivated, not achieved overnight, although the gap in status is irreparable, we must give enough respect, but this respect should be in the mentality and action, not in the gift."
Liu Rushan pondered his son's words carefully and felt that it was very reasonable, so he nodded lightly.
"By the way, Dad, when are you going to go south?"
Liu asked about his father's business, and he was still more concerned about this.
"Sort out the things at hand, in half a month."
Liu Rushan threw away the cigarette butt that was about to burn in his hand and stepped on it with his toes.
Liu relatively understood that the reason why his father said half a month was because of his injury, and he hoped that he would go after removing the stitches.
"Well, it's okay, I believe that Dad, you will be able to quickly open up the situation and occupy the market with the help of southern rice."
Ryu continued to encourage his father, knowing that sometimes the most important thing a person needs is encouragement.
"Don't think so optimistically, even if we can open the market one step ahead of others, it won't be long before others can go south to purchase, and we only have the advantage of one or two truckloads of grain."
As long as Liu Rushan grabbed profits in the southern rice, it would not take ten days and a half for other grain merchants to quickly purchase southern rice, and then quickly opened the curtain of price competition, so that the whole price tended to be chaotic, and once again returned to the situation where everyone had no money to make.
But Liu had already considered this point, and he said to his father with a smile: "Dad, I talked to you in vain just now, relationship, relationship!" ”
