In a unique Korean restaurant in Chaoyang District, Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei sat side by side and ordered dishes. When I ordered the dishes and handed the menu to the waiter, I just saw Yang Dongxu coming in. Du Weiwei waved to him, indicating that the two of them were here.
In recent years, not only has the domestic pharmaceutical industry been severely impacted by foreign equipment and drugs, but the traditional Chinese food and cooking, which is absolutely king, seems to be less popular than foreign fast food.
KFC, Korean barbecue, Japanese food, these are obviously some of the shops that are very common in foreign countries. After moving to China, he became taller and taller inexplicably.
The most typical examples are KFC and pizza, which are foreign fast food. Abroad, they are junk food that only the basic working class often eats. The middle class rarely eats it, let alone the upper class.
But after this thing came to China, it instantly became a decent thing that only the white-collar class could consume. Even when a young man falls in love and asks his girlfriend to go to KFC, it seems to be a very honorable thing.
"We have ordered the dishes. Add whatever you want to eat." Du Weiwei handed the menu to Yang Dongxu that was originally going to be handed to the waiter.
It is actually very impolite to order food before the guests arrive, but the three of them are familiar with each other, so they don't care about these details.
"Why did you think of asking me out for dinner today?" Yang Dongxu took the menu and took a look at it. "It's quite a lot. If you don't have enough food, you can order more later."
After that, he handed the ribbon back to the waiter and asked the waiter to go to the back to prepare the dishes.
"Da la la..." After hearing Yang Dongxu's question, Du Weiwei and Zhang Jing looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Du Weiwei stretched out her fingers and had a bunch of keys hanging on her fingers.
Yang Dongxu glanced at the key and gave a thumbs up, "It's amazing, there are a lot of homeowners in Yanjing. But shouldn't He Xi burn a pot at home when buying a new house? Why do you go out to eat?"
"I just got the key to the house, and it hasn't been renovated yet. It will be renovated in a while, and you will burn the pot with the gift." Du Weiwei raised her chin a little arrogantly.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but smile on her face, although the current housing prices in Yanjing were not expensive at all in Yang Dongxu's opinion. Take Chaoyang District, the current high-tech industry gathering place, for example, the housing prices this year are only about 6,000 per square meter. The most expensive housing prices in Yanjing are in East and West City, which are only over 9,000 points and less than 10,000 points.
But today's housing prices are low and people earn less. Compared with later generations, a monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in Yanjing can only be regarded as an ordinary income, and life is very difficult.
Nowadays, a white-collar job of 10,000 yuan is considered a very respectable job, so a month's salary without food and drink can buy a house of less than two square meters. You really can't even afford a toilet. This housing price is already considered high.
Therefore, those who can afford to buy a house in Yanjing at this time, and are ready to decorate and move in after getting the key, can definitely be classified as wealthy people.
"Where is the new house? Go and identify the door when you have time." Yang Dongxu asked.
"That area of the Communication University on Chaoyang Road." Zhang Jing said, the lecturer did too much. Although Mandarin is becoming more and more standard, because I have lived in Yanjing for a long time, I am not so formal when I get off the stage, and occasionally I will use a little accent when chatting with friends.
"Hey, the location is well chosen, in the center of Chaoyang District." Yang Dongxu praised with a smile.
"Your city center is divided according to the center of a district? If you go further east, you will almost reach the East Fifth Ring Road." Du Weiwei curled her lips with a look of hatred and bitterness, and seemed to say to Yang Dongxu, a rich man. I am very dissatisfied with such praise. But the smile on his lips was obviously a joke.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's not that exaggerated, it's just the East Fourth Ring Road." Yang Dongxu replied.
"Yes, yes, it's only the East Fourth Ring Road. There's no way it can compare with someone like you who has a courtyard at the root of the imperial city." Du Weiwei hummed.
Then he couldn't help but laugh first.
"Have you contacted the decoration company? I happen to know someone. If you haven't decided on a decoration company, I can get a discount by contacting you." Yang Dongxu asked.
"Not yet." Zhang Jing said.
Du Weiwei next to her also followed closely, "It's just a discount, isn't it too stingy?"
"What, you want to give you a set of solid wood furniture as a free decoration?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.
Du Weiwei snapped her fingers with excitement, "That would be great if that's the case. Thank you for your generous help."
"Lie down on the dining table and sleep for a while. You will dream about everything."
"If all dreams come true, I will definitely hire you to clean my toilet." Du Weiwei's little face bulged and she glared at Yang Dongxu.
Such a playful look is not out of place at all on a woman in her thirties. Or the sense of disobedience that an old woman pretends to be young.
"Did you dream of having such a strong taste and cleaning the toilet?"
"It's you who cleans the toilet."
"Okay, okay, do you want to eat later? Xuzi can introduce a decoration company that he knows. In the past few days, Weiwei and I have found several decoration companies after we got the house, but the quotes always felt a bit unreliable. When we came up, we were contracting work and materials, but when I heard that we were buying the decoration materials ourselves, my face immediately turned cold." Zhang Jing interrupted the exchange of words between the two.
"Contracting work and materials is very profitable. Even if we use real materials for you, the decoration company can get the internal price and make a lot of money. You buy the decoration materials yourself, and they are happy to make hard-earned money."
"We have a lot of their wages, but we are too greedy." Du Weiwei snorted when she thought of the attitudes of the decoration companies she had consulted before after hearing about the materials she bought.
"Who still thinks money is hot? When you were a real estate agent, didn't you also hope that customers would buy early and get commission after completing the handover?"
"I do everything in accordance with the company's rules and regulations, and I don't cross the line at all." Du Weiwei was very unconvinced by Yang Dongxu's comparison between him and those greedy decoration companies.
"Double standards, right? Besides, if someone has a bad attitude, why don't you ask someone else to decorate the house? There's no need to be so hateful and bitter, right?" Yang Dongxu retorted.
Du Weiwei glanced at him and said nothing, obviously feeling that she was a little emotional just now. The main reason was that before the two of them came here to meet Yang Dongxu for dinner, they had just gone to a decoration company. When the other party heard that they were renovating an 80-square-meter house and had to buy the materials themselves, her attitude made her very angry.
"Now that you have a house, why don't you buy another car? Isn't it some distance from where you work?" At this time, the waiter brought the dishes he ordered.
The reason why the food is served so fast is that at this time in a Korean teppanyaki restaurant, the iron plate on the table has started to heat up. You have to do everything by yourself, and the raw ingredients are naturally served quickly.
"I have bought a house and have to renovate it. How can I have any spare money? Besides, driving from there to the city is not as fast as taking the subway. You don't know, during the evening rush hour when you get off work, the bus can be so jammed that it will drive you crazy. ." Du Weiwei complained.
"Buying a car and driving in the city is indeed not as convenient as taking the subway. But buying a car allows you to go to the suburbs. When you have nothing to do on weekends, you can drive yourself to the surrounding scenic spots for a stroll. It is much more convenient than taking a car."
The three of them worked together to put the barbecue on the iron plate, especially the meat with some fat. First, put the fat side on it and fry it to get the oil, then flip it to the other side and serve it with some barbecue. seasoning. Or you can make your own dipping sauce, which tastes really good.
"This is a good suggestion." Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded. Traveling naturally improves your mood. Driving by yourself is indeed much more comfortable than squeezing into a bus. "But I still don't have money. Let's wait until next year."
Zhang Jing is also a little playful now. She has obviously moved on from the disgusting expressions of her relatives after her father passed away.
"If you don't have a lot of money at the moment, you can pay it first. It just so happens that my company recently had a batch of cars to be replaced. Among them is the fashionable Audi A4 sedan, which is very suitable for girls to drive. And it is sold at a discount. A car costs 450,000 yuan. , it has only been driven less than 10,000 kilometers a year and can be sold for less than 300,000.”
"Big dog owners take advantage of the country." Du Weiwei couldn't help but snarled again.
I don’t know if it’s because when I was an intermediary, I always bowed my head and said nice things to clients, and I felt aggrieved. Du Weiwei, who is not at work, has an increasing tendency to become a troll.
However, although this sentence is meant to troll people, it is also true. By disposing of such a good car in this way, the company is indeed taking advantage of the country.
By taking advantage of some little tricks in the policy, while giving companies some tax relief, they can also turn the taxes that should have been paid to the state into company assets such as cars, houses and other things.
Therefore, what big companies like to do most is to buy all kinds of luxurious new cars and equip their executives with high-end apartments. Because these were bought with public funds deducted from taxes, they basically cost no money of their own, and they can still make a profit when they are sold at a discount in the future.
"So, do you want to take advantage of this bargain? It's a new car that's only a year old, not to mention all kinds of maintenance. It doesn't even save a single dime from paying for it with public funds. It's the best maintenance, and it's sold at almost 50% off." Yang Dongxu laughed. Looking at Du Weiwei.
Du Weiwei glared at him, snorted and said nothing, obviously her heart was moved. Not to mention her, even Zhang Jing felt that it would be good to get a car like this.
Suddenly Du Weiwei's expression changed, and Zhang Jing's expression also changed, and the two of them looked behind Yang Dongxu. This made Yang Dongxu look back curiously.
Their table was not far from the hotel entrance, so it was easy to see what was going on there by turning around. At this time, a group of people came into the hotel, all men and women in suits and leather shoes. A group of people came in to talk and laugh, giving off an aura of social elite.
"Why is this a nuisance?" Du Weiwei frowned and seemed a little disappointed.
"It's just an unexpected encounter. Eat the barbecue in front of you quickly. If you fry it again, it will be burnt." Zhang Jing said, after putting a piece of barbecue on her plate, she put all the other excess roasted meat. Yang Dongxu.
Du Weiwei, who had a disappointed look on her face, made almost the same move as her after retracting her gaze. They all know that Yang Dongxu eats a lot. Whatever Yang Dongxu fried himself was definitely not enough for him to eat.
The three of them were dividing the meat and frying the next batch. Among the people who came in just now, a man who was not tall but seemed to be the leader in the middle of the crowd glanced this way. Just in time to see Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei sitting facing the door, they walked over quickly with happy faces.
