Early the next morning, Li Jiahao drove to Xinghai Building alone. He came back after three months of absence and met and said hello to everyone.
Ye Lingshuang went directly to Linji BBQ Restaurant. She came to ask Yu Wenliang for a Mercedes-Benz van. Yu Wenliang thought she was here to pay last month's contract fee.
"Mr. Ye, sit down and I'll get the account book."
If Yu Wenliang didn't talk about it, Ye Lingshuang almost forgot about it. Her mind was all on those two vans.
Since Yu Wenliang proposed it, let’s collect the money first.
Ye Lingshuang called the finance department at Xinghai Building and transferred the data from the financial software to her mobile phone. This data is consistent with the data on the checkout counter of the barbecue restaurant.
Then, I looked through the paper account books provided by Yu Wenliang. There were no discrepancies. At least Yu Wenliang was quite meticulous in doing accounting.
Ye Lingshuang actually didn't check those accounts carefully. When she did this, she was just showing off. It was like this that made Yu Wen's conscience think that Ye Lingshuang was an expert, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.
A few minutes later, Ye Lingshuang closed the ledger and said, "Manager Yu manages the business well, and we can make a solid profit from this money."
Yu Wenliang was flattered.
"As long as Mr. Ye is satisfied, I don't have any objections. I'll transfer the money to you right now."
Soon, Ye Lingshuang received the contract payment for the braised meat shop, and a few minutes later, Li Shuang called.
"The money from last month has arrived. Where do you think we are? We are fishing with your godfather by the river now. They said they would stew fish for lunch. Where is Jiahao?"
In the past few months when Li Shuang was traveling, he would talk to Ye Lingshuang on the phone. No matter what he said, Li Jiahao would be mentioned sooner or later.
Ye Lingshuang replied, "He went to work." She excused herself.
After hanging up the phone, I talked to Yu Wenliang about the van.
"Manager Yu, I want to discuss something with you."
Yu Wenliang sat down opposite her again respectfully.
"Mr. Ye, what's the matter?"
"The pickle restaurant needs a van."
"Just let them drive it. Do you need Mr. Ye to say it in person? Use it as you like. You bought this car in the first place."
"Don't we need it here?"
"No, I basically don't use it much anymore. The courier company will pick up the packages shipped to fans. The merchants of mutton, pork and beef will deliver them directly to us. Drinks are also delivered to your door. If you drive, you will use a van when you go to the vegetable market. . The vegetable market is three to five hundred meters away from us. Sometimes it’s too troublesome to drive, so we can just take the tram.”
“The utilization rate of vans here is very low!”
"It's not high. I'm afraid that if I leave it for a long time, the car will be damaged, so I let them drive it occasionally."
"I spent 200,000 yuan to buy this car. It was a waste."
"You have a lot of money, so you can buy it if you want. It's convenient to use anyway."
Ye Lingshuang changed the subject when she saw that she was done talking.
"Then I have to make full use of it. I can't let this car sit idle. If the pickle restaurant wants to use it, let them use it."
Yu Wenliang finally heard that Ye Lingshuang was not using the van temporarily, but wanted to take it away from him. However, it was Ye Lingshuang who bought the van after all. It was inappropriate for him to stop it, and he was a little reluctant to part with it. His expression was particularly embarrassing.
Seeing him like this, Ye Lingshuang gave him a step.
"Our contract for the barbecue restaurant does not include a van. So, for the convenience of shopping, just buy an electric three-wheeler."
"Alas!"
Yu Wenliang nodded repeatedly, agreeing even if he didn't want to.
When he handed the key to Ye Lingshuang, he was very hesitant and a little reluctant to let go. The hand holding the key hesitated to reach out, but Ye Lingshuang took it directly from his hand.
"I'm driving the car."
With that said, he left his seat and walked towards the door. Before going out, he turned back and said to Yu Wenliang:
"Order 500 skewers of mutton skewers. They will be grilled and delivered to Xinghai Building before 12 noon. They will be charged to my account."
"Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Yu Wenliang responded repeatedly.
Ye Lingshuang emphasized again.
"The money spent on the electric three-wheeler will also be charged to my account."
Yu Wenliang was almost ready to bow.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Lingshuang drove the Mercedes-Benz bread back to the kimchi restaurant.
Yao Bin was overjoyed to see it.
He had driven this car for a while, but today the feeling was extraordinary, because from today on, this car belonged to him, and the feeling of cherishing it was beyond words.
He brought a basin of water, a rag, and wiped the car up and down, inside and out.
Xin Yu ran out of the store and helped him clean the car. Su Tingting was left in the store, typing on the keyboard alone to maintain data.
Ye Lingshuang originally thought about taking the two of them to the 4S store to pick out a car, but after thinking about it, she needed to tell Li Jiahao.
She didn't call Li Jiahao and went directly to Xinghai Building.
Jiao Meiyu saw her coming and quickly called her to help. The beds were full again.
Ye Lingshuang had to take care of the beauty customers first, and it was already past 10 o'clock.
When she went to the tea room to get water, she met Li Jiahao coming down from the fourth floor.
"Store manager Su has finished the live broadcast. If you have time now, let's take them to the 4S store to pick out a car."
It turns out that they have been in contact for a long time, and Li Jiahao has made arrangements.
Seeing that Ye Lingshuang ignored him, Li Jiahao asked:
"Aren't you going? You have to go, you have to pay!"
Ye Lingshuang rolled her eyes at him.
"They are using me as a cash machine."
Li Jiahao smiled and said:
"Don't be emotional. We didn't negotiate. If you go back on your word, what will your subordinates think of you? How can we expand our business if we lose our prestige? This is investment, not consumption."
Before Li Jiahao could finish speaking, Ye Lingshuang interrupted him.
"Okay, stop talking, I'll just go."
Go downstairs first.
Then, the two of them drove their own cars. Ye Lingshuang went directly to the 4S store, and Li Jiahao returned to the pickle restaurant to pick up Su Tingting and Xin Yu.
Ye Lingshuang had already booked a car in advance with the 4S store yesterday. When she went to the store today, she just picked out the color and checked the car's condition. Both cars were Volkswagen brands. Xin Yu chose an orange-red one, and Su Tingting chose a white car.
Then, sign the contract, pay, apply for license plate, and pay insurance, all at the 4S store.
After completing all the formalities, it was already 12:30. Xin Yu was very happy and said proactively: "Tingting invited us yesterday. I will treat you today at noon. You can order whatever you want."
Su Tingting asked with a smile:
"Can you really be casual?"
"real."
"I want to eat seafood."
"No problem, that's enough. Boss Li, Boss Ye, what do you want to eat?"
Li Jiahao and Ye Lingshuang looked at each other.
"We also eat seafood."
"okay!"
Xin Yu readily agreed, got into his new car, led the way, and headed straight to a seafood restaurant.
We found a table for 4 people and sat down.
Li Jiahao looked around and said to Xin Yu: "Should I call Yao Bin? He will leave tomorrow. Isn't it appropriate to leave him behind?"
Xin Yu glanced at his watch.
"It's already this time, he must have eaten."
Having said that, she still called. As a result, Yao Bin hasn't eaten yet.
Xin and Yu came to the 4S store to pick up the car, and he stayed behind to guard the store. At lunch time, a big customer came and asked for 50 boxes of kimchi. They had just finished loading the car. Hearing that Xin Yu was treating guests to seafood, he quickly expressed his intention to come.
Xin Yu smiled and shook his head.
"I thought he didn't have enough food, but I didn't think he had eaten it yet."
Su Tingting smiled and said:
"This is fate. If you treat us, he will come even after dinner."
Xin Yu said exaggeratedly:
"How is that possible! Can he still eat after he's full? However, he definitely hasn't eaten yet today, and he's definitely not pretending."
Ye Lingshuang smiled and said:
"Maybe he just wants to sit with everyone for a while. After all, he will be on a business trip starting tomorrow."
Xin Yu seemed very concerned.
"Did he really never come back once he went out?"
Li Jiahao explained:
"A good man has ambitions everywhere and starts a business wherever he goes. Look, didn't I just come back from Bangchui Country? I'm doing a good job here."
Ye Lingshuang glanced at him.
"That's what you call willfulness."
Everyone laughed.
"Soon, Yao Bin drove a van to the seafood restaurant, added a chair and sat at the table.
He smiled as soon as he sat down.
"It's my turn to have a good meal today. I just finished loading the car and I didn't know what to eat. Xin Yu invited us to eat seafood and came over quickly."
Su Tingting joked:
"Xin Yu just wants to treat me to a bowl of noodles. You will come, right?"
"That's right, it's hard to refuse hospitality."
Xin Yu waved his hand.
"Stop it. There is a reason to treat everyone to seafood. Yesterday Tingting arranged a meal at the Ship Hotel. Today Boss Li and Boss Ye bought us a new car, so I have to treat this guest. By the way, Boss Li also I gave you a Mercedes-Benz van, and you have to treat me. You will be on a business trip to Xirun tomorrow, so you can make arrangements tonight."
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it tonight."
"Wait a minute."
Ye Lingshuang considered that she was going to have a gourmet dinner in the evening and did not want Yao Bin to spend too much. When she was about to refuse to participate, Li Jiahao stopped her before she could.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Jiahao.
"Yao Bin is going to Xirun tomorrow. He has to go back and settle down at home first. It will be a bit too late to go back after dinner. He will owe you this meal for now, and he will treat everyone when he has a chance."
Xin Yu seemed to be still wondering when Yao Bin would be able to entertain guests.
"Then when will he come back?"
Li Jiahao explained to her and seemed to comfort her.
"Maybe a month, maybe two months, it's really possible. He might have to come back every three to five days. It's 50 kilometers, not far. There's a car, and he'll be back in less than an hour."
Su Tingting lightly touched Xin Yu with her elbow and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, there is a chance. If it doesn't work out, go to Xirun to find him. You also have a car."
Xin Yu glared at her and stopped talking.
Yao Bin touched the back of his head, lowered his head, but glanced at Xin Yu.
"That's right, that's right, you can go to Xirun, I promise to arrange a big meal for you."
It caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Ye Lingshuang suddenly remembered that Yao Bin's mother was not in good health and he didn't even want an apartment for him. He would ride a scooter home from get off work every day, saying that he was going back to take care of his mother.
He was on a business trip and was away all year long, so he couldn't take care of his mother, so he asked with concern:
"I'm on a business trip, what will your mother do?"
When mentioning his mother, Yao Bin immediately stopped smiling, but his expression was firm.
"I will take my mother to Xirun and rent her a house."
Ye Lingshuang immediately realized that his mother's health was definitely not bad, otherwise Yao Bin would not have thought of taking his mother away.
"Wherever you go, your work unit will rent a house for you. Just let her live with you. It will be convenient to take care of her. There is no need to rent another house."
Yao Bin gritted his teeth, but he still persisted.
"The unit rents two bedrooms and one living room. In addition to me, we have to hire two people. If my mother goes to live with them, they will definitely not be able to live there. No need to trouble you. The salary I am now offered is completely enough to rent a house. "
Yao Bin's persistence made Ye Lingshuang think that he must have something to hide, so he touched Li Jiahao lightly and whispered:
"Let's go back with him in the afternoon."
Li Jiahao instantly understood what Ye Lingshuang meant. At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table. He smoothed things over and said:
"Yao Bin, we'll talk about this later. The food has been served. Let's eat."
Although we said we were eating seafood, we actually ordered a large pot of boiled shrimps, a few vegetarian dishes, and a few shortbread pancakes. Everyone ate equally deliciously.
All four of them were driving and not drinking. After dinner, we went back to the kimchi restaurant one person at a time. Li Jiahao asked Yao Bin to clean up and planned to go home with him first.
