Chapter 278: Acquaintances Meet, Things Are Not Good
Yao Weimin looked at the blonde woman who was approaching excitedly, and was a little dazed for a while.
He never imagined that he would meet foreign friends here.
It was when the old Maozi exchanged silk for gold that this blonde woman met the daughter of the old Edward, Nina. Yin vanovich.
Why did she come to China?
Yao Weimin also showed a warm smile on his face at this moment, but his heart was full of doubts, and he just covered it up well.
"Oh, my dear Zhang, this feeling is so wonderful, you know, since I came to your country, I wanted to find you for the first time!"
At this time, Nina's face was full of excitement, and she couldn't help but hug Yao Weimin, unwilling to part for a long time.
"Miss Nina, I'm glad to see you, and frankly, I'm really surprised to see you here, have you and your brother come too?"
Yao Weimin patted her on the back, took the initiative to separate hugs, and asked with a smile.
Now that Lao Maozi and the domestic situation are delicate, he deliberately asked this to find out in what capacity Nina came to China.
"No, I'm alone!" Nina smiled mysteriously, with an inexplicable color in her eyes, looked at Yao Weimin affectionately and added in a low voice:
"Zhang, I'm here specifically for you!"
"......" Yao Weimin was speechless in his heart, and he was a little resistant to Nina's words.
In addition to not wanting Nina to disturb her stable life, Nina's name for herself is too easy to get into trouble.
He used a fake name when he went to Lao Maozi, and he also traded a lot of silk and liquor, if Nina said this, it really couldn't be explained.
"Miss Nina, I take the liberty of asking, how did you come to our country?"
Yao Weimin's expression was calm, and he asked curiously with a smile.
"Haha...... Isn't it surprising that I'm now a staff member of our embassy in your country? ”
Nina said proudly, seeing Yao Weimin frowning slightly, she added in a low voice, "Although most of this is due to my father's credit, I have personally put in a lot of effort to win a valuable residency!" ”
Yao Weimin was smiling on the surface, but in fact, his mind had already begun to spin rapidly.
Nina's arrival will make him very passive.
If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will come to naught, and you will even be forced to leave Sijiu City with your family and leave the country.
"Ao, dear Zhang, I thought you would live in the north of your country, I thought of applying to follow the leaders of the embassy and go to the north for exchanges in a few days, just in time to go to the local area to find you!"
Nina's face was full of surprise at the unexpected reunion, and the whole person looked very excited, and continued:
"In your domestic words, this should be the will of God, because of love, so let's get together!"
Yao Weimin couldn't help but wipe his sweat when he heard this, he looked around, and found that some pedestrians on the street were already looking this way.
"Well, Miss Nina, you seem to have misunderstood, I do live in the north, and this time I came here on a business trip, and I will leave by train this afternoon!"
Yao Weimin quickly explained, and at the same time made a gesture of covering the sun with his hands, "It's too hot outside, why don't we find a café to sit for a while?" ”
There are so many pedestrians outside, and Nina's appearance is easy to attract attention, Yao Weimin decided to find a café first, and then find a way to get out.
Fortunately, there are many embassies on this side of Dongjiaomin Lane, so there are also some cafes of various styles, so you don't need to go far to find them.
"Well, okay!" Nina smiled and nodded, and let Yao Weimin lead her towards a café in front of her.
A few steps away, Yao Weimin walked very fast, and after entering the café, he found a place in the corner and sat down with Nina.
"Zhang, tell me your address in the north, and I'll look for you in a few days!" After Nina sat down, she asked eagerly, and at the same time took out a small notebook from her bag and motioned for Yao Weimin to write it down.
"Nina, I'm really happy to have you here, but you know, I'm married, I have a wife who loves me very much, and we're living well, so you and your father, as well as Daniel, will always be my good friends!"
After Yao Weimin and the other waiters brought the coffee and left, they said solemnly, and at the same time showed a gentle smile and a serious and honest expression.
What he has to do now is to cut off Nina's unrealistic thoughts about himself, which is very important, otherwise the subsequent chain reaction will be difficult to deal with.
"Zhang, I understand what you mean, but sometimes I just can't control myself and don't want you, that feeling is sometimes wonderful, but sometimes it's painful, so I came to your country......"
Nina's expression darkened, and she whispered in a low tone, with an inseparable emotion in her eyes.
Yao Weimin sighed in his heart, Nina's action of running thousands of miles did move him, but it was only touched, but it would not produce anything similar to feelings.
He is a very single-minded person and has a decisive character, and what Nina does is more like a child's willful behavior in his eyes, and after a long time, he will naturally change his mind.
Therefore, he looked calm and did not respond to Nina's words.
"Zhang, if you are friends, can I see you all the time?"
Nina raised her head at this time and asked softly with an expectant face.
"We are not used to calling our surname in China, you can actually call me by my name in the future, Weimin."
Yao Weimin picked up the coffee cup, took a sip and explained.
He tried to correct what Nina called him, so that one day he would be heard by someone he knew, and it would be difficult to explain.
After putting down the coffee cup, he smiled and said: "In the future, you will all work in China, and we should have a lot more opportunities to meet, but my job is to run all over the country, and although the north is my home, I can't go back a few times a year."
You will stay in Sijiu City in the future, and when I come here on a business trip, I will naturally come to you! ”
Yao Weimin motioned for Nina to drink coffee, with a gentle smile on his face.
At present, he has collected a lot of silk in his space, and he planned to take advantage of the National Day to go to Lao Maozi's side again, so he didn't want to talk to death, so as not to lose Edward's high-quality customer.
"Then why don't I go on a business trip with you all over the country?" Nina asked unwillingly after hearing the words again.
"Don't make a fuss, this is simply unrealistic."
Yao Weimin shook his head decisively and explained: "Since you are all working in the embassy, you should know the current situation, and it is inconvenient to walk around our country in many ways with your identity, and it is easy to bring you danger."
By the way, and besides, you're a staff member of your embassy, so how can you say leave when you leave, right? ”
Nina also put down her coffee cup after hearing this, and said indifferently: "My job is actually very simple, because I can speak your domestic language, so I do translation work in the embassy, and when I am not there, my colleagues can also do a good job."
In your domestic words, I'm just an additive, I can do it with me, and it won't affect my work without me, didn't I expect it, Mr. Zhang Weimin? ”
"Nina, call me Weimin, it's more like a call between good friends."
Yao Weimin corrected her again for the first time.
"It's unrealistic to go on a business trip together, so you can just give up this idea."
After he learned that Nina was doing translation work, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked casually: "By the way, Nina, there is no one from our country who acts as an interpreter in your embassy?" ”
"Of course there is!" Nina was diverted and responded without hesitation: "Actually, I am the only exception, and the other colleagues are all from your country!" ”
"Oh? Who is so powerful, even your language is so proficient. Yao Weimin showed curiosity and continued to talk about this topic.
"Want to learn? What I can teach you is simple! Nina asked with a sweet smile on her face with an expectant look on her face again.
Yao Weimin waved his hand, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Don't mind, I don't have this talent, but I'm very interested in meeting those who do translation." ”
"Okay, but the translator is also a level, I've only been here for a long time, and the one who can be called at the moment is almost the same as the fan who entered the embassy, oh, maybe according to you, I should call him Renming to be kind."
Nina turned the coffee cup in her hand, and couldn't help but look smug at the end.
"Is that Mr. Fan familiar with you?"
Yao Weimin faintly raised a touch of vigilance at this moment, and he suddenly realized that Nina's arrival, in addition to what she said on the surface, would it also have other ulterior motives?!
"It's okay, we usually communicate occasionally, and we have had a meal together, so we are ordinary friends." Nina explained seriously, and after finishing speaking, she looked at Yao Weimin expectantly and added, "If you have time, I can call him out and introduce you to each other." ”
Yao Weimin was alert in his heart, and when he was about to respond, he heard someone shouting to him in the distance.
"Weimin? Ha ha...... How do you have time to run over for coffee? ”
"......" Yao Weimin frowned, and the scene he didn't want to see still appeared.
Although he didn't turn his head, he also heard the owner of the voice, Jin Wei!
Why is this girl coming to the café when she has nothing to do?!
"Hey, what's the matter, pretend not to know me, hey, I said Yao ......" Jin Wei had already recognized Yao Weimin at the moment, and seeing that the latter did not respond, she said loudly as she approached, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yao Weimin.
"Jin Wei! Why do you have time to come over for coffee at this time? Okay, don't talk about it, I'll give you an introduction! ”
Yao Weimin's head was big for a while, and he raised his hand to greet Jin Wei.
"Okay, you Weimin, don't talk about doing bad things behind Wen Li's back for the time being, you can still find a foreign girl, your ability is really great!"
Jin Wei came closer, ignored Nina's nodding in greeting, and leaned close to Yao Weimin's ear and said fiercely.
"Be quiet! Nina is my friend, she understands the Chinese dialect, do you think it's funny that you framed us like this?! ”
Yao Weimin glared at her and scolded in a deep voice.
"Hey, that's better! Isn't this convenient for you to have sex with her?! ”
Jin Wei didn't think so, and couldn't help but scold Yao Weimin.
"Jin Wei, let me tell you, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will also say that you know me, where did you come from, where did you go back!"
Yao Weimin planned to suppress Jin Wei's momentum first, otherwise there might be some trouble.
Although in his opinion, nine times out of ten, he couldn't hide anything about Nina from Shen Wenli, but he wanted to minimize the misunderstanding.
"Oh, I mean, no! You haven't gotten off work at this time, you're not in the unit, why are you here? ”
Yao Weimin saw that Jin Wei had an unwilling look, and wanted to say more, so he simply asked rhetorically, so that he could give himself more time to figure out how to resolve the situation in front of him.
"You really can't control this, if you have the ability, ask our leaders to go, see if they will tell you!" Jin Wei didn't bother to answer this question, but looked Nina up and down.
"Hello, my name is Nina, I'm a translator, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Nina generously stretched out her hand, shook Jin Wei, and continued: "Excuse me, are you also a friend of Weimin?" ”
"Huh! The domestic dialect is a thief, but there is no taste of our Sijiu City! ”
Jin Wei relied on seeing through Yao Weimin's 'bad thing', shook her hand nonchalantly, and didn't say hello to Nina first, but said to Yao Weimin with a commenting tone.
"It's a little polite to greet you, okay?" Yao Weimin glared at her again.
"That's right, then I'll introduce you, me and Wenli to Nina." Jin Wei followed his words and nodded thoughtfully.
"Royal jelly drank too much, supporting you, right?!" Yao Weimin glanced at her, and quickly said to Nina: "Nina, don't be like her, this is my wife's friend, called Jin Wei." ”
"Yes, my name is Jin Wei, don't worry, for the sake of royal jelly, I won't tell Wen Li about you and Wei Min yet."
Jin Wei only greeted Nina at this time, but the words she said still had a hint of ridicule.
"Okay, let's talk, the leader hasn't done anything about me, let's go!"
She didn't wait for Nina to speak, and she was about to turn away.
Before leaving, he raised a finger at Yao Weimin, "One bottle a month, you know, hush money!" ”
"Hurry up and get yours out!" Yao Weimin made an angry look, watched Jin Wei go to the counter of the café, took out the slip and communicated with the waiter who collected the money.
"Weimin, listen to what your friend meant, your wife is on a business trip with you, right? No wonder you didn't take me with you, it turns out that someone is already with you! ”
Waiting for her to leave, Nina looked at Yao Weimin with some resentment.
Yao Weimin had a big head, so he had to patiently explain a few words again, and after seeing that Jin Wei was busy with his work, he winked at him and went out to leave, and he was not in the mood to continue to stay.
"I'm sorry Nina, I may have to leave, wait for me to return to Sijiu City in a few days, and then come here to find you."
He stood up and gestured to leave.
"Then you don't want to meet with Renming?" Nina was reluctant and hurriedly asked.
"Well, let's talk about this when I come back next time, I'll be off work soon, you go back early, and I'll come to you when I have time in the future!"
Yao Weimin said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Nina nodded slowly, stood up, ignored the other people in the store, and stepped forward to hug Yao Weimin again.
Yao Weimin took a step back, quickly grabbed her hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "Nina, goodbye!" ”
After speaking, he took the lead in turning around and went to the counter to check out, and when he was about to walk out of the store, he found Nina still standing in place, waving goodbye to him affectionately.
Yao Weimin smiled gently, waved his hand in the same way, and left the café.
"This matter is very troublesome, and I came to work against the big sun, and I ended up in a big trouble.
In addition, Jin Wei's appearance is too inopportune, just her mouth, it is estimated that it has reached Wen Li's ears at this time.
Let's think about how to explain to Wen Li after I go back! ”
Yao Weimin originally planned to come to Dongjiaomin Lane to investigate on the spot, but because of Nina's appearance, he was completely disrupted, so he was in no mood to continue the investigation and rode his bicycle home.
Just as he was about to walk into the gate of the community, he saw Yang Yuejin standing under the shade of a tree next to the road and beckoning to him with a smile.
"Hey, look at how happy you are, what's the matter, the pilot house has been built?" Yao Weimin waited for him to approach and asked first.
"Definitely, you think, the number of workers has nearly doubled, and if you can't shorten the construction period, you can't say anything!"
Yang Yuejin handed over the cigarette roll, and a full sense of accomplishment appeared on his face.
"That's good, this is good news, haha......" Yao Weimin laughed and took Yang Yuejin back home.
Entering the room and sitting down, he poured a glass of water for Yang Yuejin and asked with concern:
"You've checked the quality of the house in every way, right? In addition, between the drawing requirements and the real thing, it must be confirmed that it is correct! ”
"Don't worry! I'm about to turn over the drawings, now the house has been built, and the simple decoration has been done, just wait for tomorrow to dry for a day, and the day after tomorrow you can ask the leaders of your club to accept! ”
Yang Yuejin looked determined, and after taking a sip of water, he continued to say excitedly: "As long as your leaders finish the inspection and sign the contract, then I can start the horsepower and prepare to do a lot of work!" ”
Yao Weimin was also very happy, but he still kept calm, and after a deep groan, he reminded:
"At the beginning, President Ma asked to do a pilot first, in addition to checking the contractor's construction capacity, there is another major problem, that is, I also want to make a reference in terms of cost."
At this point, he paused, his fingers tapping on the table, and his expression became serious.
"You don't need to be responsible for the construction materials, but when it comes to workers' wages, management costs, and other miscellaneous things that need to be spent, there must be a breakdown, so that you can talk to President Ma about signing the contract in detail, we discussed this before, have you prepared it?"
"Haha...... I like to talk about the cost of the project, come to guide Yao, please palm! ”
Yang Yuejin said, took out the prepared cost details from his bag, proudly put them on the table and pushed them over.
Yao Weimin picked it up and looked at it carefully, he sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded, and finally took out a pen from his bag and changed it himself.
According to Yang Yuejin's quotation, the salary of a large worker is five cents a piece, and the salary of a small worker is one dollar, which was changed by Yao Weimin to one dollar a day for a large worker and seven cents a day for a small worker, which is no different from the actual salary.
After the revision, he said to Yang Yuejin seriously:
"Workers' wages must be realistic, President Ma is a very pragmatic person, maybe when he will find a construction worker to ask about wages, you are so fake, it is easy for him to know!"
"That'...... With such a big project, do we guys really only earn a little management fee? Yang Yuejin smiled bitterly, obviously a little unwilling to Yao Weimin's revision.
"Sijiu City is so big, there are four or five thousand village health centers waiting for you to build, and the management fee of fifteen yuan for a health center, how much do you calculate in total?"
Yao Weimin smiled and calculated it for him on the spot.
"The construction and management fee for each health center is calculated according to fifteen yuan, let's take the construction of 4,500 health centers, that is a total of 67,500 yuan!
Even if you don't count other miscellaneous expenses, in a few months, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan, aren't you satisfied? ”
Yang Yuejin laughed when he heard this, obviously, this money alone already made him very tempted.
"You have to know one thing, as far as the daily wages of the workers you report, if President Ma finds out the fraud, the consequences will be serious, maybe you will lose this contracting opportunity, so you have to weigh the pros and cons, there is no need to eat a fat man."
Yao Weimin continued to explain, "In addition, we must take a long-term view, with this cooperation between you and our company, if you have such an opportunity in the future, you will not be thought of at the first time?" ”
"That's right, that's right!" Yang Yuejin groaned and nodded happily.
"In addition, according to the construction period you provide now, it will take almost eight days to build a set of health centers, but when it is really built in large quantities, the labor can be flexibly mobilized, so the time saved is all money for you, as for how much you can earn, it depends on how you usually spend more effort to manage your team!"
Yao Weimin emphasized again.
As the person in charge of supervising the construction of the urban and rural health clinics this time, he needs to find a balance by himself, and it is impossible to completely let Yang Yuejin fool around with his feelings, and of course he will not let this good buddy not get the remuneration he deserves for months in vain.
At present, the entire domestic economy is not good, Yao Weimin also wants to make money, but he will not use his brains on this, if he wants to make money recklessly, with the assistance of space, it can be said that there are too many ways to achieve it.
But since he made a deal with Nina's father Edward, Yao Weimin has already tasted the sweetness, and when the silk in the space accumulates a certain amount, he will trade gold again.
As for the fruit trade in the pigeon market, strictly speaking, he is more like helping Gangzi and those people to beg for food, so that those people will not go down the wrong path for food and drink.
"Hey...... Weimin, this abacus was given to you by your leader, right? Okay, I know what to do, more work, more pay, doesn't that mean? ”
Yang Yuejin responded with a smile.
"When it comes to abacus, I have to recommend a master in the courtyard where I used to live, and the abacus is so drawn, it is a bird flying from the sky, and you have to consciously pluck the feathers and throw them down!"
Yao Weimin thought of Yan Bugui when he heard this, and couldn't help but quip.
