Lu Hui is self-aware, although he likes to observe beautiful women, but he knows that he is not a child of cadres, his academic performance is bad, and he has no capital to pursue those beautiful girls, so he is very realistic and will not do things like toads want to eat swan meat.

The reason why Fang Hanmin can become a good buddy with Lu Hui is that he thinks that this person is very pragmatic, although he often says some things that are out of tune, he is actually very rational.

It is this down-to-earth pragmatic spirit that has allowed Lv Hui to make steady progress on the road of doing business, and in a few years he has developed into the largest wholesaler in the county.

Knowing that Fang Hanmin had a girlfriend, Lu Hui was afraid that his salary would not be enough to spend, so he said with concern: "It costs a lot to have a girlfriend, if you need money, you can tell me at any time." ”

Fang Hanmin thanked Lu Hui for his generosity, "Even if we only meet two or three times a month, we are not extravagant in spending money, and my salary is enough to spend." ”

"Hanmin, I'm from here, dating my girlfriend, don't be too picky, be generous when you should spend money, so as not to be looked down upon." Lu Hui knew that Fang Hanmin had been financially supporting his hometown, and he was worried that he was too frugal.

"Thanks for the reminder! When it comes to spending, we will do what we can and will not be too picky or extravagant. According to my observations, Song Yuping is a little different from others, even if I want to be extravagant, she will not allow it. ”

"It seems that the pursuit of college graduates is different, many young people pursue pleasure, and she may pursue a career."

"It's not all like that, now that the conditions are good, we also have material requirements, but we don't pursue them too much. Lu Hui, we haven't seen each other for two years, right? Let's talk about you, now that the business is relatively stable, it seems that you are very worry-free. ”

"The business has a scale, and now it is indeed more worry-free, but I feel that life lacks fun, do you think it is strange?"

Fang Hanmin analyzed: "During the previous few years of entrepreneurship, you were busy all day and had developed a habit, but now when you are idle, it seems that something is missing, and there is a sense of loss, which is actually a psychological effect. ”

"yes, but how do you get rid of this sense of loss?"

"Find something to do, after all, you are still young, give yourself a certain amount of pressure, let yourself re-nervous, and this feeling will naturally disappear."

"Well, it's a good idea to find something to do, but I'm not idle every day!"

"The work you do every day is repetitive work and there is no novelty at all, so you get bored. You have to do something new and challenging that is guaranteed to make you feel meaningful again. ”

"There are new and challenging things," Lu Hui thought thoughtfully, and after two or three minutes, he suddenly said, "Han Min, do you remember the last time we met, I said that I would go to Shuangling City to inspect the wholesale business?" ”

"You seem to have said it, but you haven't moved in the past two years, I thought you didn't have that kind of thought."

"In the past two years, I have been a little content with the status quo, and now it seems that there is no problem, but business competition is cruel, and people must have near-term worries without foresight, if I am content with the status quo, not only does it make me feel idle, but also maybe someone will surpass me one day."

"yes!" Fang Hanmin nodded in agreement, "All industries where there is competition are sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." Your line of work is a bit similar to our company, we also need to constantly innovate in products and technologies, otherwise, the company will have no future. ”

"In that case, I can't stay in the store all day, I have to go out and look for new business opportunities." ......

Lu Hui had to stay with Fang Hanmin for lunch, although it was difficult to refuse, but he was afraid that it would affect his business, "I don't have time at noon, wait for you to go to the city to investigate business opportunities, let's get together again." ”

"That's not good, we finally met, you came all the way, it's almost lunch time, and you left without even eating, what's going on?"

"However, Su Ying takes the child to take care of the store, and we don't care about it, is this appropriate?"

"Don't worry about this, I hired several employees, they went to the warehouse to tally the goods, and they will come back in a while, they all eat in the store at noon, and Su Ying and the children are not hungry."

Lu Hui said hello to his daughter-in-law, Fang Hanmin said goodbye to Su Ying and the child, and the two came to a nearby restaurant, Lu Hui was very familiar with the boss, and it seemed that he was a frequent customer here.

After choosing a table by the window and sitting down, in order to avoid extravagance, Fang Hanmin took the initiative to order three home-cooked dishes, Lu Hui felt a little shabby, "It's the first time you come to me, why do you want to try the specialties of the county?" ”

"Home-cooked food is the best, these are enough, at most there will be a soup."

"Okay, next time you come to the county seat, let's go to the big hotel and eat authentic specialties." Lu Hui asked for a bottle of good wine.

"You and I have something to do in the afternoon, don't drink at noon."

"Hanmin, we finally met again, how can we not drink some wine? Let's not drink much, just this bottle of wine. ”

Unable to withstand Lu Hui's persuasion, Fang Hanmin agreed to drink some, who knew that this drink would not stop the car, the two drank this bottle of liquor, and drank a lot of beer, until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, while he was still conscious, Fang Hanmin said goodbye to Lu Hui, found a hotel in the county to stay, did not eat dinner, and slept until more than five o'clock the next morning.

Drinking and making a mistake, he was scheduled to meet with his old classmate Lu Hui at noon, visit Liu Gong's house in the evening, and return to the unit early the next morning, but he got drunk at noon and didn't sober up until the next morning, and it seems that the time to return to the city will be postponed. Fortunately, the time given by Director Yuan was relatively generous, otherwise Fang Hanmin would not have been able to explain to the leaders.

After washing up and having breakfast, Fang Hanmin called Liu Gong in a public phone booth and said that he was going to visit.

"Hanmin, where are you?" Lao Liu asked in surprise.

"I'm in Guichun County."

"When did you come over? Why didn't you tell me in advance? ”

"The day before yesterday, I went back to my hometown, and I just came to the county seat from my hometown. Liu Gong, when do you think we'll meet today? ”

"Hanmin, is there something wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm just here to visit you."

Lao Liu knew that Fang Hanmin had been providing financial support to his hometown, and he must not have enough money, if Fang Hanmin was asked to be a guest at home, he would definitely have to buy gifts, and Lao Liu couldn't bear to let him break the bank.

"I'll take a leave of absence in a while, let's find a place to have a meal at noon and meet and talk, what do you think?"

"I want to visit the elderly at home."

"There are a lot of people in the family, and it's messy." Lao Liu Wan rejected Fang Hanmin's kindness.

At about eleven o'clock at noon, the two met at a restaurant not far from the Water Conservancy Bureau as agreed, the two old friends clasped hands, and Lao Liu was very excited, "Hanmin, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, right?" ”

"It's not, I remember the last time we met was when you went to Section Chief Hou's house as a guest, it seemed to be the year before last."

"Yes, around New Year's Day the year before last, I asked Lao Hou to invite you to his house."

Fang Hanmin wanted to take the initiative to arrange drinks and dishes, but Lao Liu stopped him, "I'm familiar with here, they won't take your money, let me come." ”

Lao Liu ordered food to pay attention to economical, never extravagant, he didn't dare to drink at noon, so he accompanied Fang Hanmin with tea instead of wine, because he had to take the car back to the city in the afternoon, Fang Hanmin only drank some beer, and the two mainly chatted and reminisced.

During the chat, Lao Liu suddenly remembered something, "Do you remember when you called me to find out about my niece Hou Xuemei?" What happened to you guys? ”

"What else? If there is a result, won't we become relatives? I still have to manage my uncle. Fang Hanmin said with a smile.

"Actually, I think you and Xuemei are still a good match, but that girl has been pampered by her parents since she was a child, and she is a little willful, if you make friends with her, I am afraid that you will be bullied, so I didn't match you with her."

"Liu Gong, it's a good thing you didn't make a match, otherwise it would be even more difficult for me to do it." This is Fang Hanmin's heart, because he thinks that he is not suitable for Hou Xuemei, if Lao Liu is matched, Fang Hanmin can refuse Hou Xuemei, how can he refuse Lao Liu, a great benefactor?

"What, he went to find you?"

mentioned that incident, Fang Hanmin couldn't say anything, "Maybe considering the face of her father Section Chief Hou, Hou Xuemei didn't go to the unit to look for me, but she often called me, after all, she is the daughter of Section Chief Hou and your niece, I can't take it too seriously, the more this is the case, the more she won't give up, and she will make me very embarrassed." ”

"The girl took the initiative to chase you, that's called the trouble of happiness." Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Ouch, happiness what? The annoyances are pretty much the same. You don't know, for more than half a year, every time I received a call from her, I had a feeling of fear. ”

"Not really, right? My niece is sweet-looking and not unreasonable in her speech, why are you so afraid of her? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of her personally, I'm afraid that she will call me often, if I let the people in the factory know, Section Chief Hou will not be able to get over the face, in addition, Section Chief Hou is kind to me, I offended her daughter, what will Section Chief Hou think of me?"

Lao Liu understood Fang Hanmin's distress, "Yes, this is the most difficult thing for you to deal with." But how did you end up in the end? ”

"If you want to say my opinion, Hou Xuemei's shortcoming is that she is a little willful, but she is not the kind of person who messes around, although some of the things she said to me on the phone are more extreme, after calming down, she is still reasonable, and Section Chief Hou's tutor is not bad, and finally, I communicated with her heart-to-heart, and explained the inappropriate reason between me and her, she finally accepted the reality, and we calmly blessed each other."

"During that time, I was very worried about this matter, I was afraid that she would lose her mind and come to the unit to find you, if it spread in your factory, it would make you and my brother-in-law very embarrassed. This girl is quite sensible, she didn't make any big trouble, and of course, you handled it very well. I heard that she has a boyfriend, and it seems that she will get married next year. ”

"Oh, then I have to congratulate her! When Hou Xuemei gets married, for the sake of Section Chief Hou's face, I will go to say goodbye, and you will come when the time comes, right? We'll have a chance to meet. ”

"Hanmin, you are not too young, do you have a goal for your life's major events?"

"This time I went back to my hometown, and it was related to this matter." Fang Hanmin reported to Lao Liu about having a girlfriend.

Lao Liu said in surprise: "This is a great thing!" Congratulations! Hanmin, you can't bury your head in work all day, now that you have a girlfriend, you should also take personal problems to heart, you should spare a certain amount of time and energy to think about how to deal with your girlfriend. Liu Gong told him like an elder that he felt that Fang Hanmin should cherish this hard-won opportunity.

......

Before he knew it, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Hanmin looked at his watch, "Liu Gong, it's time for you to go to work, I'll come to see you later." ”

"Okay, I won't keep you anymore, we'll meet later."

Before the two separated, Fang Hanmin took out 500 yuan and stuffed it into Liu Gong's pocket, "I didn't buy a gift for the old man, this is a little respect for me." ”

This move made Lao Liu a little surprised, "Hanmin, what is this for?" ”

"Even if I buy some gifts for the old man, please accept them."

No matter what Fang Hanmin's purpose was, it was impossible for Lao Liu to ask for his money.

That's right, when Fang Hanmin was at the lowest point in his life, Lao Liu once helped Fang Hanmin, but that was something he was willing to do, and he never wanted to get something in return.
