Chapter 36 Noodles and Proceeds
Since renting a house to produce notepad on January 9, Du Qiu has never been to Su Wenxiu's dormitory. After two weeks, when he walked in again at around 5 pm on January 23, he felt like he was a different life. On the one hand, his mentality was different, and on the other hand, the house had changed a lot.
The curtains changed from old-fashioned crimson to fresh light blue; the ordinary wooden cabinets on the TV were replaced with a combined bookcase; the thick and wide sofa bed was moved to the office in the Little Red Building and replaced with a simple three-seater fabric sofa; the desk-renovation workbench and the messy home appliances were gone, and they were replaced with a rectangular dining table with curved edges, with four solid wood-colored high-back chairs on both sides, and a very unique glass vase in the middle. A few blooming plum blossoms were inserted in the bottle, exuding a faint fragrance, making the whole room look elegant and interesting.
This girl is very good at living...
"Where are those electrical appliances from Brother Hai?"
"After the first dividend, he rented a big house outside and moved all the dilapidated things away." Su Wenxiu signaled Du Qiu to sit casually, and then said while making tea: "He originally wanted to go to the hardware factory to be a neighbor with you, but Sister Huihui despised the bad environment and the small house area, so she went to Taishan Road to rent a house of more than 100 square meters, which was extremely proud."
"Of course you have to enjoy it when you have money, otherwise the hard work will be meaningless." Du Qiu sat down on the sofa and moved his body left and right. He felt that the quality was good, neither soft nor hard, very comfortable, and the shape was very suitable for his heart. He asked, "Where did you buy this sofa?"
"I have a relative who works in a furniture factory and specializes in OEM for foreign brands. He is asking him to make sofas and dining tables." Su Wenxiu looked back at him and asked, "Are you going to buy a house by yourself?"
When his parents divorced before traveling, Lin Dawei only retained the auto parts store, house, car and all other valuable things that were costing him to Du Chunhua. The same is true for this divorce. Du Qiu planned to renovate the house after the Spring Festival, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and help his mother change his mood. He said casually: "I don't plan to buy it for the time being. I asked my sister. She wants to buy a new sofa."
"Then I will take Sister Chunhua directly to the factory to choose from. They have all kinds of sofas there, and there are many styles."
"OK."
After Su Wenxiu made tea, she went to wash her hands and cooked noodles as usual. However, she used to cook in a rice cooker, but now she switched to an induction cooker. While waiting for the water to boil, she said embarrassedly: "Du Qiu, you invited me to two big meals, but I can only invite you to have clear soup noodles every time. I'm really sorry for you."
"Don't be polite to me. Didn't you treat me to buns and porridge on New Year's Day? I think those two things are worth 100 meals, and I still owe you 98 meals now."
Su Wenxiu smiled with a pursed lips and asked, "How long have you been eating? Like a beggar, I was stunned by eating five buns and two bowls of porridge in a row."
"It's not long before, it's only one afternoon and one evening." Du Qiu didn't want to discuss such topics that are prone to missing, so he asked instead: "Wenxiu, are you going to resign after the Spring Festival or are you going to take both hands like Huihui?"
Although the university library is far less prosperous than the tax bureau, it is also a work within the establishment, stable and leisurely, and you will never have to worry about unemployment in your life. Su Wenxiu hesitated and said, "I am going to resign and concentrate on the notepad business, but my father took a lot of thought to get me into the library back then. Now he has resigned in less than two years. He will definitely object."
"During the Spring Festival, you will be given dozens of hundred-dollar bills and sealed a red envelope to honor him. I guess he will allow it immediately."
Su Wenxiu chuckled, showing a leisurely look of fascination on her face, as if she was really ready to do this. After a while, she said, "My father is a stubborn and feudal local bun. She always feels that girls should not show up outside to do business. I spoke with him a few days ago, but before he could finish his words, he slapped the table and said that if I dare to resign, he would drive my brother out of the house."
"What's wrong with Brother Guan Hai when you resign your position?"
"My dad said I used to be very obedient, but now I am disobedient. It was all my brother who led him to do something bad. If I drove him away, I became honest."
Su Wenhai seems to have a lot of criminal record and can be shot even if he is lying down...
"Your dad should not object to your resignation, but is worried that you will be cheated when you meet a bad person and do business. After the Spring Festival, I will invite your whole family to have a meal, everyone will meet each other and openly say it."
"My brother has this meaning, saying that he would invite you and your sister to have a good meal. If it weren't for your help, he might have lost his girlfriend now." Seeing that the water was boiling, Su Wenxiu hurriedly opened the bottom of the lid of the pot, and was busy talking while talking: "Before meeting you, my brother was so poor that he had only made 1,000 yuan. He was preparing to see Sister Huihui's parents during the Spring Festival. Sister Huihui thought it was embarrassing and scolded him. After the dividends were paid twice a few days ago, my brother excitedly went to buy more than 4,000 yuan gifts, but was scolded by Sister Huihui again, saying that the money should be kept for investment after the Spring Festival, which was funny."
It seems that the salary reform and the last dinner party were very good. Now the team is cohesive and enterprising, people are available, and morale is strong, and there is great potential for the next year...
After eating two bowls of noodles in Su Wenxiu's dormitory for dinner, Du Qiu saw that it was already past 6 o'clock, so he took a taxi to the Children's Palace. This place has been coming every day recently, but he never entered every day and has never been in. Fortunately, he had been in countless times before traveling through time and was very familiar. He quickly found Du Chunhua's office. As soon as he entered the door, he heard several colleagues teasing his mother.
"Chunhua, you have lived a good life recently. Not only is your son obedient, but your husband is even more considerate than before. I know you are very busy today, so I specially sent supper."
"Tsk tsk, the noodles cooked in Angelica mutton soup are delicious and nutritious. They are really attentive and considerate. It's good to have a husband who can cook. It's not like my family. Not to mention delivering food, I can't even lift the lid of the rice cooker!"
"No wonder Chunhua has been radiant recently and has a springy face. It turns out that she was nourished by her husband..."
Du Chunhua works in a collective office of six people. All five colleagues are married gossip women in their thirties and forties. They are already over the age of shame. All kinds of dirty jokes are flying everywhere. She turns a deaf ear to the teasing and concentrates on eating noodles. After eating a few bites, she accidentally looks up and sees Du Qiu standing at the door. She immediately smiles, hooks her finger at him, and says, "Come here."
Du Qiu knew that his mother was uneasy and wanted to make trouble when she saw her smile. So she walked over with a look of flattery. Du Chunhua waited for him to get close to her before standing up, holding her arms in a very ambiguous posture, and said to several gossip women: "Don't the country advocate market economy now, free competition? Men are like companies. If you want them to serve them well, they have to compete with each other. This is a young man I just hooked up with a few days ago. It is specially used to compete with my husband. The effect is very good. You can also try it."
The colleagues stopped their actions at the same time because of her posture and speech, and were dumbfounded, as if they were frozen in the cartoon.
Du Chunhua was not satisfied with this, so he dragged Du Qiu around for a few steps, walked around the desk, and promoted like an insurance salesman: "I am a pretty boy, right? I am a good-looking, tall, know how to cook, computer, and have good physical strength. I can run for thousands of meters without breathing. If anyone is interested, I can lend her a free trial..."
"Sister, don't do this. I'm not married yet. How can I find a girlfriend after being rumored to be a novice?"
Du Chunhua couldn't hold back now, and she laughed and let go of Du Qiu's arm, then patted him in discomfort, complaining: "It's true! Will you die if you cooperate well?"
Several gossip women came to their senses as if the spring breeze was thawed, and surrounded them and asked in a slight manner: "Chunhua, is this the younger brother you mentioned a few days ago?"
"Young man is pretty. You have to be beautiful and have temperament. No wonder Chunhua is so proud when she mentions you. I heard you came back from abroad?"
"Du Qiu, you just said that you don't have a girlfriend yet, why don't your aunt introduce you to one?"
"You really made this notepad we used?"
These gossip women are colleagues who have been with Du Chunhua for many years. Du Qiu knew almost all of them before traveling through time. He took advantage of the situation and laughed and joked. After a while, he became familiar with each other, which attracted praise. They praised him for his maturity and stability, his eloquence, and his future was promising. Du Chunhua smiled and almost ate the noodles into his nose.
"Sister, where are brother-in-law and Jinyan?"
"In the small auditorium, you go find them first. I have something to do later." Du Chunhua was afraid that Du Qiu would not be able to find it, so he put down his chopsticks and took him to the window to point out the location, and then reminded him: "I have arranged you in the sixth row, and there are business owners around him. You can communicate with them more at that time."
"good."
"The ones participating in the performance tonight are either elementary school students or middle school students. You are a stationery. Students have to deal with stationery every day. You can start with them and don't mention business as soon as you open your mouth. Those bosses are watching their children's performances and enjoy family happiness. They may not be interested in talking about business matters."
"I see."
"Then you go."
Du Qiu found Lin Dawei at the door of the dressing room behind the stage of the auditorium. He was chatting with a middle-aged man with a beard against the door frame. Lin Jinyan was wearing a Doraemon-shaped headband and played house in the corridor with a few children of similar age. The laughter of children, the conversation of boys and the scolding of teachers came one after another, and there was a chaotic and cheerful atmosphere everywhere.
"Aqiu, come here and let me introduce you to you. This is Captain Wang Ao of the Traffic Police Team. This is my brother-in-law Du Qiu, who just came back from RB."
"Oh, you are a returnee! Hello, hello." Wang Ao shook hands with Du Qiu and joked: "Dawei, Yuncheng is now eager to seek talents and is in a hurry to find elite talents. You actually hide such a high-end brother-in-law at home. Do you want to make a mistake?"
"Captain Wang misunderstood. I came back from working from RB, not from studying."
"It's also good to work. A very skilled worker is easier to use than ten college students." Wang Ao is very good at speaking and is very good at observing his expression. Seeing Lin Dawei's eyes flashing, he kept looking at Du Qiu, and said tactfully: "I'll go and see if my daughter is wearing makeup. Let's leave first, and we'll talk later."
As soon as the outsider left, Lin Dawei immediately took out a note from the pocket of the down jacket and said with a smile: "Aqiu, this is the data Jinyu reported to me, please take a look."
The note lists the various data during today's speculation process in detail. In addition to the changes in the Nikkei index and the income from short selling, there are even reference data such as handling fees and exchange rates. Du Qiu saw that his income was more than 2,800 US dollars, equivalent to about 23,000 yuan, which was more than 10,000 yuan more than the notepad he worked hard for more than ten days. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Sister Jinyu is really a professional. I thought it would be great to double $1,000, but she didn't expect that she actually made nearly 3 times the income. Brother-in-law, should you make more, right?"
"Not too much, not too much, it's only about 150,000." Lin Dawei turned over and got rid of the embarrassing financial crisis. He couldn't hold back his smile no matter how he held it in. He had to take out a cigarette to cover it up and said, "Jinyu said that it fell by more than 1,800 points at the most today, but later it bottomed out and rose by more than 600 points. Finally, the closing was only one step away from 17,800 points. Many people lost a lot. We retreated earlier, and we just finished work just after falling to 17,800 points. We didn't lose a penny, but we made less money."
"I made a lot of money today, so there is no need to take risks anymore, so I can put my money in the pocket."
Lin Dawei nodded, then took a deep breath of cigarette, looked at Du Qiu's eyes, and said, "Aqiu, although my husband and wife are over, they are together and separation, and the relationship is still there. You are a capable person. I don't have the right to say anything to help you. In short, if you have something to do in the future, call me, and everyone will gather more when it's okay."
"Um."
…………
Note: On January 23, 1995, the Nikkei Index fell 1175 points, and the final closing was 17785 points.
