The old Tongzi Building where Zhang Dingshan’s family lives.
In the room, Wu Suzhi was still playing with the things Zhao Shanhe had sent the day before yesterday, with a happy face.
She looked at Zhang Dingshan who was sitting on the armchair reading the newspaper and muttered: "Tell me about this Zhao Shanhe. Before, I saw him scratching and digging and couldn't get on the table, but this time he was generous enough, not only I bought so many good things for our family, and even treated you to a mutton pot meal."
"Tell me, you don't care about me at all. Even though Zhao Shanhe took you to eat mutton pot, you didn't even ask me to take you with you to eat meat."
Wu Suzhi was still thinking about the taste of the mutton pot meal, and she saw Zhang Dingshan curling his lips in disgust: "You know how to eat all day long, we gentlemen go out to discuss careers, what are you doing, you old lady?" , no sense of self-consciousness!"
"Okay, okay, I won't make you angry. Who made you the security captain now? I am the captain's wife. With this title, I will serve you willingly." Wu Suzhi is extremely satisfied with her life now, mainly in Against the background of Su Wan's hard life, she became even more proud.
She used to envy Su Wan's figure and appearance, and she also envied her for marrying a good-looking man like Zhao Shanhe, who was also a regular worker in a furniture factory, holding an iron rice bowl, living in a tube-shaped building, having no worries about food and clothing, and living a smooth life.
But she was married to an old man who was 7 years older than herself. He was still working as a temporary security guard in a department store when he was over 30 years old. He lived in a small and leaky house and lived a tight life.
But things are different now. My husband has become a security captain in a department store. He is also a big boss. He is in charge of more than a dozen people. He has received an iron rice bowl from the state. He has also become what others call an official wife. I can show off the prestige of an official wife.
However, Su Wan's life went downhill. Zhao Shanhe became addicted to gambling and was fired from the furniture factory. She was also kicked out of Tongzilou and lived in a shabby neighborhood. Living by washing clothes for other people is like becoming a maid.
Seeing all this, Wu Suzhi was not only proud but also a little relieved.
No matter how good-looking you are, you still have to live a better life!
"correct!"
Wu Suzhi suddenly thought of it.
"You said before that Zhao Shanhe invited you to dinner to test the restructuring of the department store market. He also asked you for Section Chief Liu's address. Does he mean to buy a stall in the department store market?"
After hearing this, Zhang Dingshan became excited and put down the newspaper in his hand.
"Listen to Zhao Shanhe's bragging. I still don't know how much he weighs. He owes a lot of money and is waiting to be repaid. How can he have money to buy a shop?"
"Furthermore, each store in the department store costs several thousand yuan. Can he afford it? He still wants to see Section Chief Liu. Damn it!"
"He doesn't think about his identity, so even if Section Chief Liu sees him, he will have to beat him out!"
"You overestimate your capabilities!"
Zhang Dingshan was cursing happily when the phone in the room rang.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
"Yes, I am Zhang Dingshan!"
"Chief Liu?"
"It turns out to be Section Chief Liu. What orders does Section Chief Liu have?"
In just a few seconds, Zhang Dingshan's attitude changed completely.
"Okay, okay, I'll notify Zhao Shanhe right away. Tomorrow afternoon, Chunlai Restaurant, okay section chief, okay, okay, okay..."
Zhang Dingshan hung up the phone with a shocked look on his face.
When Wu Suzhi saw this, she quickly came over and asked, "What's wrong? Who called?"
Zhang Dingshan frowned: "It's Section Chief Liu. He asked me if I could contact Zhao Shanhe and said he wanted to make an appointment with him to have dinner at Chunlai Restaurant tomorrow."
Wu Suzhi also widened her eyes and couldn't believe it.
"Section Chief Liu? Is this Liu Changjiang from the department store?"
Zhang Dingshan nodded.
"Section Chief Liu called me and asked me to help him make an appointment with Zhao Shanhe. What could it be?"
"It's probably Zhao Shanhe who came to offend Section Chief Liu. Now Section Chief Liu wants to use your relationship to give Zhao Shanhe a blow. You have to be careful. When you see Section Chief Liu tomorrow, you must not give Zhao Shanhe Good face, if Section Chief Liu misunderstands that you and Zhao Shanhe are wearing the same pair of trousers, he will not want to see you anymore and will ruin your reputation as a security captain."
"That makes sense!"
Zhang Dingshan thought about it and felt that Wu Suzhi was right.
It seems that tomorrow we will really have to draw a clear line with Zhao Shanhe in front of Section Chief Liu. It would be best to follow Section Chief Liu's wishes and scold Zhao Shanhe, so as to win over this big tree.
…
In the evening, when Zhao Shanhe went home, Su Wan had already prepared the meal.
Braised pork ribs with green onion.
Cucumber and scrambled eggs.
And his favorite spicy tofu.
Zhao Shanhe had thought about this bite in his previous life, and how happy he would be now that he could eat it.
"Eat slowly." Su Wan felt happy watching Zhao Shanhe wolfing down the food.
"Daughter-in-law, you must be good at cooking. This spicy tofu is more delicious than the ones fried in restaurants." Zhao Shanhe ate three bowls of rice in a row.
"I know you like to eat the spicy tofu I made. I specially bought the newly made soft tofu on the street, and paired it with my own pickled chili sauce. It goes with rice and satisfies your cravings."
"There's one more thing..." Su Wan saw Zhao Shanhe enjoying the meal and didn't want to interrupt, but she had to speak.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy?" Zhao Shanhe saw his wife's unhappy look and quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, stepped forward and held her hand, asking hurriedly.
"Before you came back, Sister-in-law Suzhi called the canteen. She said that Section Chief Liu would invite you and cousin Dingshan to Chunlai Restaurant for dinner tomorrow afternoon. I listened on the phone, and Sister-in-law Suzhi said nothing. It’s so enjoyable, I’m afraid the storefront thing will get dirty, right?”
Su Wan was a little afraid. This store was the first big thing Zhao Shanhe had taken the initiative to do since they got married. She was afraid that this time he would be a loser, which would dampen Zhao Shanhe's enthusiasm and make him feel uncomfortable.
"You little idiot, if the store thing becomes dirty, how can Section Chief Liu take the initiative to invite me to dinner." Zhao Shanhe raised Su Wan's nose.
Then I thought carefully about what Amelia Su just said.
"Did you just say that Wu Suzhi was angry when she spoke to you on the phone?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"Hasn't she always been like that? When did she change?" Su Wan sighed helplessly.
She knew very well what kind of person Wu Suzhi was and didn't bother to argue with her.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. In a few days, I will ask Wu Suzhi to come to you in person to apologize. I have to get back all the previous debts!"
Zhao Shanhe's face was full of anger: "I came to give gifts that day, but Wu Suzhi kicked her nose in the face and told me that she was a wife of an official. That Zhang Dingshan is just a gatekeeper for a department store, what does she have to be proud of!"
"You don't want to see me, just to show off to me, but I tolerate it for the sake of business in the department store market, but she dares to show off her power to you and show off to you, I absolutely can't bear it!"
