Chapter 53: The Family Banquet I
"You weren't assigned a job when you were transferred to the army? Since you are a special soldier, you must be able to drive, how do you do physical work? ”
In '96, being able to drive was a life skill.
Gao Dazhuang's face turned a little gray, "I have a bad temper, and I don't get along well with my boss and colleagues." I quit several jobs. ”
Lu Jing shook his head, there must be some dry workers in the supermarket, those big bags of rice and meat, someone needs to carry them, and the delicate girl will definitely not be able to do it.
But those who don't listen to the command, he doesn't want to ask.
"Thank you very much for coming for the interview, but I'm sorry to inform you that you didn't make it." Lu Jing made a cross on the white paper, stood up and shook hands with Gao Dazhuang.
The light in the tall and strong eyes became more and more dim, and his lips moved, and he didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
Several interviewers came one after another in the morning, and Lu Jing circled a few people to select them, and then immediately signed the contract. One girl was left to replace Yu Zhicheng as the operator, and the other three were thrown to Yu Huawei's men to help.
After someone took over his job, Yu Zhicheng went back to the No. 4 Middle School to attend classes. He didn't have the slightest interest in the menial chores of the supermarket. Before leaving, Lu Jing asked him to ask what had happened on the school radio recently.
Yu Zhicheng agreed, he didn't go to class for almost two weeks, and he didn't know the recent news in the fourth middle school.
…
Guan Ning took a blue and white parasol and waited at the door of the alley. The scorching midday sun illuminated the wooden signs at the entrance of the alley without a single shadow.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Guan Ning looked at the vehicles on the road, thinking that it would be the car that Lu Jing was sitting in. Lu Jing made an appointment with her to come to her house for dinner today, and called just now to ask for the place. Her father hurriedly urged her to come out and pick her up.
As soon as Lu Jing got out of the car, he saw Guan Ning wearing a rusty red T-shirt, and said with a smile: "Wait for the car for a while, let's go." As he spoke, he looked at this alley, with green tiles and red walls, tall old locust trees every few meters, and standard Beijing alleys.
Guan Ning and Lu Jing walked side by side, and asked with a smile, "Why are you dressed like this?" I feel like you're dressed more and more like someone in the office. ”
Lu Jing was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and slacks, and a pair of leather shoes under his feet. The white shirt tucked into the slacks really doesn't look like a student, but rather like a standard urban white-collar dress.
Lu Jing helped her hold a blue and white umbrella, "I just interviewed someone else, and dressing a little more formally is also a sign of respect for the interviewer." Heh, you didn't go to class today? ”
Guan Ning pointed to the intersection on the left, signaled to turn left, pursed his lips and smiled: "Go, I'll go back early." I'm not like you, skipping class every day. By the way, have you chosen a liberal arts and science major? ”
A gust of wind blew from the mouth of the alley, blowing Guan Ning's hair, Lu Jingneng smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and said with a smile: "My grades are the same in liberal arts and science." I go wherever I see it. ”
"And how is your supermarket going?" Guan Ning smiled and swept his hair behind his pink ears, "I see that your tone was affirmative and full of confidence when you ate that day." Where did you learn these business concepts? ”
"The supermarket is still preparing, and it will open in a few days, and it is estimated that you have finished the college entrance examination at that time, and if you are interested, you will be invited to play at that time. Business concepts, just read more books, the key is to look here. Lu Jing smiled and nodded his head with his right finger.
Guan Ning smiled.
A bicycle overtook from behind, with a middle-aged man on it and a small bag of vegetables hanging from the faucet. He rang the car bell a few times as he passed by.
"Hello Uncle Chen!" Guan Ning shouted crisply
"Xiao Ning, I'm going home with my boyfriend."
"No, my classmate, come to the house as a guest." Guan Ning's cheeks were a little red.
"Oh. Understood, understood. The middle-aged man laughed and rode away. Guan Ning glanced at Lu Jing with a somewhat weak face.
The hutong has a unique quiet in summer, and the occasional pedestrian passing by makes it even more quiet in the alley. Looking at Lu Jing's tall nose bridge and his bright black eyes looking at him, Guan Ning suddenly felt a little at ease.
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Jing turned the blue and white parasol in his hand around, "I'm wondering, if you wear a cheongsam, will you turn everyone upside down and overwhelm the city." ”
Guan Ning's delicate shyness and gratuitous charm just now made people's hearts pound. She has a slender figure, only seven or eight centimeters shorter than Lu Jing, if she wears a cheongsam, I am afraid that she can fully exude the charm hidden under her pure temperament.
"It's not as good as you say." The corners of Guan Ning's mouth curled, turned around and walked forward, ponytails, T-shirts, jeans, and flat shoes, just like the freshness of the girl next door, making the ancient locust trees, courtyards, and stone roads in the alley lose their color.
Lu Jing smiled and touched his nose, feeling that it was simply self-abuse and brain-dead to spend all his good time on the preparation of the supermarket, so he called Brother Zhan and asked someone to come over to help with the interview. smiled, caught up a few steps, and used the parasol in his hand to help Guan Ning block the sun.
…
Guan Haishan had some flesh on his face, and he was very energetic, and the first thing he said when he saw Lu Jing was, "Classmate Lu, thank you so much." Holding Lu Jing's hand with both hands, he shook it vigorously, and continued to say words of gratitude in his mouth.
Lu Jing smiled: "Uncle Guan, if you want to thank me again, I'm embarrassed to come to the door." Ning Rou came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, different from the last time she saw it, she walked easily, and the person looked very happy, "Xiao Lu, sit down." Auntie is still cooking, and it will be fine for a while. As he spoke, he took out a chilled watermelon from the refrigerator, went to the kitchen to cut it, and brought it to the living room.
Lu Jing said thank you and looked into the courtyard. In the spacious and bright yard, the vines meandered on the shelves, and Guan Ning stood on the ladder in jeans and took a pair of scissors to cut the grapes, revealing the seductive curves of his body.
"It's not ripe yet, let's try it." Guan Ning placed the washed grapes on the white tray of the coffee table. She picked a few and went to the kitchen to help.
Guan Haishan said with a smile: "This kid, the guests are still eating." Lu Jing waved his hand and said, "It's okay." "The green grapes are stained with water, crystal clear, and exude a fresh fragrance. Lu Jing knew it was very sour at first glance.
"Student Lu, are you still working as an officer in the Youth League Committee? It's almost time to take the college entrance exam, right? Guan Haishan asked with a smile, looking at Lu Jing.
Lu Jing's waist sat up straight, and he smiled indifferently: "I'm still in my second year of high school, and I'll take the college entrance examination next year." My interest is not in learning. At present, the main focus is on self-employment. ”
"Hehe, it's good to start your own business, in this era, it doesn't mean that you have to be highly educated to make money. A lot of opportunities, it's up to you to seize them. It's just that if you don't study, do your parents agree? ”
"My parents agreed, I told them." Lu Jing took a piece of watermelon and ate it slowly, the breeze in the hall blew, which was very cool.
Guan Haishan took a sip of tea, "Your parents are amazing." When I was studying, I was doing sports everywhere. I can't read it if I want to. There are a lot of things from that time in the west section of Chunhe Road, such as red books and medals. When you have time, I'll take you around, it's interesting. ”
Lu Jing took out a tissue to wipe his mouth clean, and said with a smile: "Hehe, there are so many capable people there, I don't dare to go in alone, if Uncle Guan takes me in for a walk, it will naturally be better." ”
Guan Haishan observed him while chatting with Lu Jing. Seeing that he dressed and sits, he was undoubtedly well educated. The details in his demeanor show his good living habits, he is very exquisite, and he seems to be a rich or noble character. Thinking of his energy when he helped his family, he grabbed Honghua Group with a phone call, and nine times out of ten he was the son of a high-ranking official.
"How's Uncle Guan's business lately?"
