Chapter 85: The Shadow (I)
Xu Wanning patted Xu Maoning's shoulder and said earnestly: "Maoning, my sister hopes you understand that my brother will always be my brother!"
After speaking, she entered the house with Xu Maoting talking and laughing.
Xu Maoning still stood stupidly in place, reminiscing about what she had just said.
A younger brother is always a younger brother, this sentence sounds fine at first glance, but when you taste it carefully, you always feel that it doesn't seem like a good sentence.
Did he misunderstand?
In the house, Xu's mother had already prepared the meal, and Xu Maoting was not polite, and after sitting down to eat, she took Xu Wanning to the living room to talk about business.
"The batch of canned yellow peaches transported from Hei Province has sold well, and it has all been sold out. ”
"Well, that's to be expected. ”
Although it is now spring, the weather has not fully warmed up. There are very few fruits on the market.
And canned yellow peaches, firstly, are novel, and secondly, they can make people eat fruits, so it is not surprising that the sales are good.
Xu Wanning knew that Xu Maoting would not deliberately run because of this matter, so he waited quietly for his next step.
Xu Maoting went straight to the point: "I have a friend who wants to see you." ”
"He ate canned yellow peaches and was very interested, so he wanted to meet you, the person who developed canned yellow peaches. A-Ning, this person's status is not low, it will not hurt you if you see it. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to the second brother's arrangement. ”
is the second brother of her own family, she can trust it completely.
"Then meet at Quanfu Building at two o'clock tomorrow at noon, and I will pick you up at the hospital then." ”
"Good. ”
Early the next morning, Xu Wanning took the soup carefully cooked by Xu's mother to the hospital.
In addition to Lin An, there were two other people in the ward.
These two people are about the same age as Xu's father, even if they are wearing civilian clothes, their integrity still exposes their identities.
Xu Wanning didn't want to disturb them, and was about to quietly withdraw, but was stopped by Lin An.
"Wanning, come in. ”
Four short words, but with irresistible coercion, Xu Wanning had to enter the ward.
"These two are the commanders and chiefs of staff of our third regiment. ”
"Good regiment commander, good chief of staff. ”
"Hello. Chief of Staff Shen responded with a smile, and Regiment Commander Xu only bowed slightly.
"Then you have a good rest, and we'll come back to see you another day. ”
"I'll send the regimental commander and the chief of staff. ”
"No, no, no. Chief of Staff Shen smiled and said, "You just take care of Lin An." ”
When he got out of the ward, Chief of Staff Shen glanced back.
"That was Chief Xu's daughter just now, right?"
Head Xu glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Lin An's current achievements are all due to his own hard work, and he has nothing to do with others." ”
"I know, I know, Lin An, this kid is not bad, brave and courageous, and he is a good seedling to be a soldier. If he is in the Black Provincial Military Region, with his current record, I am afraid that he has been promoted to company commander, but it is a pity. ”
Chief of Staff Shen shook his head, saying words of pity in his mouth, but always with a shallow smile on his face.
In the ward, Lin An took the initiative to explain to Xu Wanning the reason why the regiment commander and the chief of staff were looking for him.
"The mission we carried out this time was very dangerous, and I saved two comrades, so I won the military merit again. The organization appointed me as a platoon commander and was assigned a house in the military district. ”
Xu Wanning frowned: "I remember that you were already a platoon commander before." ”
"Yes. However, I was transferred to the Beijing Military Region, and my military merits remained the same, but my previous position was gone. ”
The current situation in the army is not quite the same as that of later generations.
Although it is also a military region, the Beijing Military Region has a higher level than the Hei Provincial Military Region, so after the transfer of the military region, Lin An's previous position is naturally gone.
Everything had to start all over again.
"Wanning, do you want to go to the house and have a look?"
Lin An asked a little cautiously.
He was afraid of hearing Xu Wanning say something refusal.
Xu Wanning thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take the time to go over and have a look." ”
Just in time when she is still in Beijing, she can decorate the house.
As long as the food factory goes smoothly, it is estimated that she will be able to take the opportunity to come to Beijing after a while.
When the time comes, I will take Da Chun and my sister together.
Lin An was obviously relieved and gave a bunch of keys to Xu Wanning.
"This is the key to the house, to be given to you for safekeeping. When you want to go, I'll go with you. ”
Xu Wanning didn't twist either, and put the key away.
At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Maoting appeared in the ward on time, and after saying hello to Lin An, he took Xu Wanning away.
Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at Quanfu Building smoothly.
Quanfu Building is one of the only two hotels in Beijing that can be operated privately in addition to state-run hotels.
However, neither hotel caters to the average guest.
Quanfu Building mainly receives public officials, and when they need to talk about cooperation with each other, it is not convenient to be in a state-run hotel, so they can come to Quanfu Building.
The other hotel is basically only open to foreign guests.
This is the current situation in Beijing.
Xu Wanning doesn't know if there were similar restaurants in the 70s in the real world, or if it was derived from the book's own world.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, it won't be long before private buying and selling can be allowed.
Xu Wanning looked at the four-story Quanfu Building, cheering herself up in her heart, in five years, she wants to have a restaurant that is more magnificent than the Quanfu Building.
"What's the fuss? Let's go inside. ”
"Oh, good. ”
In the box on the third floor, the person who wanted to see Xu Wanning was already waiting.
"Director Zhang, this is my little sister, and I am also the one who developed the canned yellow peaches. Wan Ning, this is the director of Beijing Limin Food Factory. ”
"Hello Director Zhang, my name is Xu Wanning, and I am currently working in the branch of Chunhua Food Factory in Ji City, Hei Province. ”
"Hello Miss Xu. ”
Director Zhang is only in his early forties, but his temples are already white. But he has a charitable eyebrow, and he looks very easy to get along with.
Of course, this is just Xu Wanning's first impression, as for what kind of person is, you have to know it after contact.
Director Zhang put the menu in front of Xu Wanning, "Miss Xu came to Quanfulou for the first time, see what you want to eat, and order whatever you want." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Xu Wanning smiled: "My second brother said that you and he have been close friends for many years, so you can call me Wanning." ”
It's always Miss Xu's call, and both parties are very uncomfortable.
Director Zhang didn't care about the trivial things in the title, and after Xu Wanning ordered the dishes, he explained his intention.
"Mao Ting must have told you that I am very interested in the canned yellow peaches you developed. ”
Xu Wanning was just about to politely thank you, but Director Zhang's next sentence almost choked her.
"I don't know if Wanning, do you plan to work in the Limin Food Factory where I work?"
Xu Wanning subconsciously looked at Xu Maoting.
saw that her second brother was drinking tea, and the teacup blocked half of his face, Xu Wanning couldn't really see his expression.
