After finishing these favorites, Zhao Hongbing still has one more thing to do, that is, the matter entrusted by Director Ma of the Materials Bureau.

Although he is not a formal staff of the Material Bureau, but through this relationship, Zhao Hongbing cut into the order meeting very well, and covered up with this layer of identity, and the business was a complete success.

Therefore, Zhao Hongbing remembered this sentiment very much, and did not forget Director Ma's expectations, and said that in order to avoid any future troubles, he had to get things done for others.

What Director Ma needs most is a batch of household appliances and bicycles, these things are repeatedly requested by the county leaders, and Director Ma wants to do this, on the one hand, he can be appreciated by the leaders in charge, and on the other hand, he can also get into a relationship with the county leaders, which has a great impact on his future.

Too many materials Zhao Hongbing can't help him, the small contract is still no problem, so he poured ten Venus color TVs and ten permanent bicycles from others at a high price, Zhao Hongbing paid the difference of almost 20,000 yuan out of his own pocket, and the other party made an appointment to sign a contract with the Wenhe County market price, and informed Director Ma by phone, Director Ma was so happy that he almost wanted to kill along the telephone line, and finally said that Wenhe County would find a truck to pull it, and the material bureau would pay after loading, and the rest of the matters were entrusted to Zhao Hongbing to deal with on the spot.

Two days later, the car was loaded, and Zhao Hongbing asked the big country to go back with the car, and the big country had long wanted to go back and hand over 10,000 yuan to the old lady, so he was naturally overjoyed. Zhao Hongbing asked him to go directly to Tianjin after finishing his family affairs, and next month's order meeting will be held in Jincheng, a big city in the north.

After this matter, Zhao Hongbing, who had been busy for half a month, was finally able to rest for two days, he left a message for Xiaobai's pager, Xiaobai quickly called back, and was very happy to hear that it was Zhao Hongbing, the two chatted a few words, Zhao Hongbing asked her and Lu Xiaoya if they had time in the past two days, and he invited the two beauties to dinner.

Xiaobai and Xiaoya are neighbors, best friends who grew up since childhood, and both are college students, Xiaobai is in Haicheng Engineering University, Xiaoya is Chinese college outside Haicheng, the next day is Sunday, Xiaobai made the decision for Xiaoya, said that there is no problem, the two made an appointment, Zhao Hongbing said that he was not familiar with Haicheng, let Xiaobai pick a better location, Xiaobai said that we will meet at the gate of the Chinese College and then find a nearby hotel, Zhao Hongbing said okay.

Hung up the phone, Zhao Hongbing's mood was a little agitated, it was not a whim to invite the two of them to dinner, he liked to make friends in his previous life, and he had many friends from all over the world, which also helped him a lot in his later business career, of course, there was a more important reason, he had feelings for Lu Xiaoya.

Zhao Hongbing has always liked Lu Xiaoya, a quiet and delicate girl, with a bit of everyone's beautiful demeanor and a woman's gentleness, this time he finally met one, he didn't want to give up, he always had to give it a try.

At 11:30 a.m. the next day, Zhao Hongbing came to the west gate of the Chinese Academy outside Haicheng at the agreed time, and after a while, Xiaobai and Xiaoya came together, and the two wore light makeup, one wearing a white dress and the other wearing a yellow dress, showing the beauty and vitality of youth.

Of course, the beauty mainly comes from Lu Xiaoya, she is already extremely beautiful, and at this time, after putting on makeup, she looks even better, charming and cute, and Zhao Hongbing's eyes are a little straight.

Xiaobai shook his hand mischievously in front of him, and said loudly: "Hey, wake up quickly, you won't be stunned by our Xiaoya's beauty." ”

Xiaoya blushed and looked at Zhao Hongbing shyly.

Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "To be honest, the two beauties are really unbearable for me to shake in front of my eyes." ”

Xiaobai sneered: "I originally wanted to subtract two points, but for the sake of you being honest, subtract one point." ”

Xiaoya tugged at her best friend's sleeve and whispered, "Xiaobai, don't be joking." ”

Zhao Hongbing's old face was extremely thick, and he didn't have the slightest embarrassment at all, and said with a graceful smile: "It's a great honor to be able to make an appointment with two beauties, and it doesn't hurt if you reduce me to a negative score." ”

Xiaobai and Xiaoya both laughed when they heard this, and Zhao Hongbing asked very gentlemanly: "I don't know what tastes the two young ladies pay attention to, let's pick a good restaurant." ”

Xiao Ya said: "We are natives of Haicheng and the host, how can we let you have a treat." ”

Xiaobai said: "Don't save him money, you didn't listen to his smug tone on the phone yesterday, there are two of us beauties to appreciate the face, what's wrong with him spending some money." ”

Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, Xiaobai is a roundworm in my stomach, I am so proud that I don't know how many catties and taels I have now, you quickly choose an expensive place, and eat me poor while I am confused." ”

Xiaobai snorted, pointed to a Nanxiang Xiaolong not far away, and said: "Let's go eat steamed buns, I have to eat ten drawers in a row, and I have to drink five bowls of old hen stew, I must eat this guy until he goes bankrupt." ”

Zhao Hongbing laughed when he heard it, Xiaobai said viciously, in fact, he still wanted to save himself money, he could spend a few dollars on steamed buns, and three people couldn't eat a hundred yuan if they had a broken belly.

He was a little moved, but still said: "Don't you look down on me, today's big day, I, Zhao Hongbing, have lived for twenty years, and it is the first time I can eat with two beautiful women, and I am angry when I ask me to eat steamed buns." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the magnificent restaurant across the street and said, "Actually, I was already optimistic when I came here before, and today we will have Western food, and the Moscow restaurant opposite looks good." ”

Xiaobai was a little surprised: "Did you pick up the money, or are you really confused?" ”

Xiaoya's words were much softer, and she persuaded: "It's so expensive there, don't go, if you can invite us to dinner, we will be very happy, which means that you haven't forgotten your friends." ”

Zhao Hongbing still insisted, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can afford a meal." If I had to invite you to eat steamed buns for the first time, it would have been the most regrettable thing in my life in retrospect. Please, two young ladies. ”

Xiao Bai and Xiao Ya saw that he insisted, so they had no choice but to follow, Zhao Hongbing walked in front, only to hear Xiao Bai muttering to Xiao Ya in the back: "This guy doesn't know good people's hearts, hmph, don't save him money later, take care of the expensive points." ”

Zhao Hongbing laughed, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, is your wallet enough!" ”

Zhao Hongbing hurriedly suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "Actually, I have already thought about it, and when I am full, I will quickly run away, leaving the two of you to wash the dishes." ”

Xiaobai laughed angrily at him, and Xiaoya hugged her companion and comforted: "It's not enough, the three of us make it together, in fact, I have long wanted to taste the taste of Western food." ”

At the gate, a blonde foreigner greeted him, speaking fluent Mandarin, "Three distinguished guests, welcome to this restaurant." ”

Entering the hall, it is luxurious and elegant, magnificent, full of strong Russian atmosphere, although this Moscow restaurant is far inferior to the famous Lao Mo restaurant in Beijing, but it should also be regarded as a grade, Zhao Hongbing feels that the decoration inside is very comfortable.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them sat down, Zhao Hongbing ordered a few dishes by the two girls, it can be seen that Xiaoya doesn't understand Western food at all, mainly Xiaobai's guidance, he also let the two operate, and finally only ordered a bottle of red wine and his favorite cheese baked color snapper.

The gorgeous style, the elegant space, and the melodious music are really enjoyable, and the mood of the two girls, Xiaobai and Xiaoya, is particularly friendly, chattering non-stop.

Zhao Hongbing smiled with satisfaction, he insisted on having a treat here before, naturally it was not that he had the money to pretend to be rich, inviting a woman to dinner is a technical job, if the economy allows, it is absolutely right to choose those gorgeous and noble places with a beautiful environment, can you imagine that the first date in the steamed bun shop and the Western restaurant will be the same? Except, of course, in exceptional circumstances.

Waiting for the meals they ordered to be delivered, the three of them chatted while eating, Xiaoya sighed: "On weekdays, I heard some classmates say that the vegetable salad here is very delicious, and it is really delicious, and I got my wish today." ”

Xiaobai's family background is much better than Xiaoya, it is estimated that he has eaten a lot of Western food on weekdays, and his taste is very picky, and he is a little dissatisfied: "This Russian-style potato cake is not authentic at all, I have eaten it at the Soviet Embassy, and it is much better than this one." ”

Xiao Ya said leisurely: "I really envy you, you can go to many places with your parents, I remember that you have also been to the United States and Fa Guo, the Western food of Fa Guo must be more distinctive." ”

Xiaobai pouted: "I don't think it's very good, I want to come back after going out for a few days, it's better to be here, Xiaoya, you still think about going abroad all day long." ”

Zhao Hongbing keenly grasped the key and asked, "Xiaoya wants to go abroad?" ”

Lu Xiaoya's face turned red, and she whispered: "I just have this wish, I want to go out and see the excitement outside, but it's so difficult to go out now, and there are only a few public funds in the whole school, so it is estimated that it is a luxury that will never be realized." ”

Xiaobai said: "What's so good about going abroad, now so many people want to go out, and some people are simply crazy, and they want to go out through foreign-related marriages, it's really unreasonable." ”

Xiaoya rarely retorted to her companion: "Your family is so good, you can go abroad if you want to, you can go abroad, you can have whatever you want, naturally you can't understand it." Ordinary people like us, trapped in one class all their lives, have to struggle if they want to change themselves, going abroad is the best gilding, even if you can't learn more knowledge, see the world, broaden your horizons is always very different. ”

Zhao Hongbing listened to it and sighed with some emotion, this era is the rise of the fever of going abroad, since the reform and opening up, the Chinese people regard going abroad as if they landed on the moon, studying abroad has become a trend, more and more people go abroad, and there are almost Chinese everywhere there are people. The nouns to describe this wave are also varied: "world tandem", "foreign queue", "gold-plated" ......, as long as you go abroad for a circle, it will be different when you come back.

Zhao Hongbing's obsession with Lu Xiaoya is not good, this is the trend of the whole era, there are many people who go out in vain, but there are also many people who have achieved fame and really realized their ambitions. Zhao Hongbing admires people who have ideals and are willing to work hard, although he does not fully agree with Xiaoya's ideas.

At the moment, Zhao Hongbing said: "There have been a lot of comments on the tide of going abroad in newspapers and magazines, and I dare not make a presumptuous evaluation. Personally, I always think that this is a sign that China is moving from being closed to opening up, and it is a good phenomenon. Although it has many worries. ”

Xiaobai was dissatisfied: "You also support going abroad, in vain I thought your thinking was different from ordinary people." ”

Zhao Hongbing smiled: "I think the future world will be a world of mutual communication and communication, the world village will not be a term that only exists in science fiction novels, and the international community will be more open, so going abroad is not a bad thing." In the backward places of our country, young people can go out and see more and learn more from the advanced experience of others. But I can't just go abroad for the sake of going abroad, more people I hope to go out in a high-profile way, such as going abroad for seminars, lectures, and cooperation, rather than going to work and study in a low-profile way. ”

Hearing Zhao Hongbing's long talk, Xiaobai's eyes sparkled, full of a hazy mood of a young girl, if it weren't for her mediocre appearance, this shy and passionate feeling would definitely add a lot of points to her.

Xiao Ya's face was a little embarrassed, although Zhao Hongbing did not name her directly, nor did he say anything serious, but he still did not agree with her gilded thoughts, Xiao Ya took a breath and said quietly: "My parents are people who have lived in the Great Northern Wilderness and the Great Northwest, and many of them are already ministers or something, and some are still suffering in the countryside, and they will stay forever in the future." They often educate me with their experiences and tell me a truth: people have to struggle. If you are content with the status quo or even settle down, then the class you are in will continue to degenerate until you become the bottom, and if you continue to struggle, you will have the hope of climbing upward, unless your luck is particularly bad. ”

Xiaobai sympathized: "I know that my uncle and aunt have suffered a lot, but I don't know that they are so difficult." ”

Zhao Hongbing explained sincerely: "Xiaoya, I didn't want to say more, so as not to make a shallow statement, but I feel that I am very close to you, and everyone is like a good friend, so I will say a few more words." The experience of the fathers, after all, has the imprint of their time, and there are many factors that lead to their different destinations, which can only be used as a reference. It's true that people want to struggle, but first of all, we must choose the right direction, here I don't dare to talk about any big truth, the choice and grasp of the direction I think you must have more considerations, I wish you can find your own direction, and then through hard work, to achieve your own wishes and ambitions. ”

Xiao Ya looked at Zhao Hongbing, there was a strange look in her eyes, and said softly: "Thank you, I know that you are talking so much for my good, no matter what, I am very grateful to you and Xiaobai, and I am also happy to have you two good friends." ”

Zhao Hongbing was very happy, happy from the bottom of his heart, he was not mistaken, Lu Xiaoya was a gentle and understanding girl, he was about to say more, at this time, the mobile phone in the bag suddenly rang, and he changed his words apologetically: "I'm sorry, you guys talk, I'll answer the phone." ”

After saying that, he took out the bulky big brother from his handbag and walked outside the hall to answer the phone.

Xiaobai and Xiaoya glanced at each other in surprise, both a little surprised that Zhao Hongbing had a mobile phone. You must know that the mainland has only just introduced this kind of mobile phone, and for the Chinese people who not long ago thought that "upstairs and downstairs, electric light telephone" was communism, it would inevitably bring shock. This is not only because it is expensive, but also because of the magic of the high-tech it demonstrates.

It can be said that at this time, only those who really have a lot of money and have a foresight will handle this kind of business, which is a symbol of status, status and wealth.

And the two of them know Zhao Hongbing, still stay on the train, this friend is very enthusiastic, very funny, and has the spirit and courage to act bravely, but in terms of wealth, they don't think Zhao Hongbing is very rich, after all, it can be seen from the dress and even words and deeds, but I haven't seen each other for half a month, and the other party actually used a high-tech product like a mobile phone, this change can't help but shock the two girls.

Xiao Baixin was straightforward and blurted out: "No wonder this guy invited us to a big meal, could it be that he made a fortune?" ”

Xiao Ya didn't speak, there was something flickering in her bright eyes, thoughtful.
