After hanging up the phone and paying the money, Chu Heng turned back to the car, lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Then he started the car and went to Casserole House, where he booked three large tables.
By the time he came out of the hotel, it was just before eleven o'clock.
"I almost forgot, I haven't picked up my shoes yet."
Chu Heng returned to the car and was about to go home for a bite of food. Suddenly he remembered that he had asked Liu Haokong to get a few pairs of shoes made by the shoe store some time ago, but he had never picked them up, so he turned the car around and headed in the direction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. go.
After such a long period of preparation, the cloth shoe store has opened a few days ago.
Inspired by the styles of some later generations of cloth shoes provided by Chu Heng, Gao Ling designed many novel styles, coupled with the long history as a gimmick, and Liu Haokong spent a lot of money to ask Tang's father to develop the magic of medicated insoles. As a result, the shoe store's business is pretty good.
Although it is not as good as jewelry shops and clothing stores that make money through design and creativity, judging from the current situation, they should be able to earn four to five thousand dollars a month.
This is quite a lot for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has eyes green with foreign exchange shortages.
Liu Haokong was naturally rewarded for this, and would be promoted and entrusted with important tasks soon.
When Mo Mo opened two shops for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, each of which was much more profitable than a shoe store, and also brought in millions of foreign exchange, but was still a temporary secondment worker, a certain Chu who did not want to be named learned that When I heard this news, I was so angry that I almost gritted my teeth and spurned my old friend heavily!
"he...tui!"
"Death Celestial Dragon!"
"Tu tu tu tu!"
Volga soon came to a stop outside the shops outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Gao Ling and Yin Huijie, a newlywed couple who were flirting in the room, heard the noise and hurried out.
"Boss, why are you so free today?"
The two had just held their wedding some time ago, and they had been inseparable all day long after getting their licenses to work, exuding the sour stench of love.
"I didn't make a few pairs of shoes here. I happened to have some free time, so I came to pick them up."
Chu Heng looked at Yin Huijie, who was clinging to Gao Ling's side. He felt annoyed, so he didn't follow the two of them to chat more, and entered the shoe store after chatting for a few words.
"Hi Chu! Long time no see!"
As soon as he entered the room, a blond and blue-eyed foreigner who was sitting on the sofa and cooperating with the store's master to measure the size of his feet suddenly waved to him in surprise.
It was Ishbel, a Romanian who used to play cards with Chu Heng and Avima, but later Chu Heng stopped playing and had less contact with her.
"Hi, I didn't expect to see you here."
Chu Heng was very happy to see him again. He hurriedly walked over and sat next to him, chatting for a while. After Ishbel measured the size, paid the deposit and left, he went to the store staff and picked up the money. I took away my own pairs of shoes.
There are three pairs of shoes in total, all custom-made.
The soles are made of fine, wear-resistant yellow cowhide.
The upper is a top-notch dress. It is made of pig bristles, hair and other hair, and is made of boiling, drawing, and spinning. It does not need to be brushed with water for life. Use an insole when wearing it. If the shoes are dirty, just wash the insole. It won't be stained with oil or dirt. If it gets dirty, it can be cleaned with a soft-bristled dry brush. It is the highest-grade cloth shoe fabric.
"Tsk, cloth shoes are still comfortable to wear!"
When he got back to the car, Chu Heng took off his big leather shoes and put on a pair of newly made cloth shoes. They were light, comfortable and breathable. Compared with leather shoes, they were much better except for their appearance.
"Okay, if I don't go to any formal occasions from now on, I'll wear it!"
Stretching his legs, Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction, then quickly started the car and drove away.
Not long after, he returned to Banche Alley. He was already a little hungry and was about to enter the hospital when an aunt from the next door courtyard who was standing in the alley chatting with someone trotted over and said, "Chu Suo!"
"well!"
Chu Heng quickly stopped walking towards the door, turned around and looked at the neighbor's aunt, and asked, "What's wrong, Aunt He?"
"I heard that you are going to build a staff building for your unit?" Aunt He asked with a gossipy look.
Damn it!
Did the news spread so quickly?
Chu Heng was stunned immediately and couldn't help but be confused: "Who did you listen to?"
"Hey, isn't that right? A relative of mine works at Wuliangdian in District 6. She also heard someone else say that your wife told someone about it. She doesn't know whether it's true or not, so she asked me to ask you." He Aunt said.
Tsk!
When did this woman become so loose-lipped?
Chu Heng, who wanted to give the employees a surprise, smiled helplessly when he heard this, nodded simply, and admitted: "Yes, I have such an idea, and I have been busy working on it these past two days!"
"Good guy, it's really built." Aunt He was immediately surprised, and then she quickly inquired: "Then when do you plan to build it? Where is it? Do you have the money to build the grain management site?"
"...What about that, Aunt He, let's talk about it later. I'll go back to eat first."
Looking at Aunt He who was as talkative as a machine gun, Chu Heng, whose stomach was pounding, didn't want to chat with her, so he turned around and left in a hurry.
…
Time soon came to evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the orange glow dyed half of the sky.
"I'm leaving, Sister Guizhi. I won't be back for dinner tonight."
"Did you eat at home? What are you busy with today?"
"Oops, it's too late, let's talk about it later!"
Chu Heng, who had taken an afternoon nap at home, came out of the house with two large boxes of Moutai and a cigarette of good luck. After stuffing the things into the trunk, he quickly got in the car and rushed towards the casserole house.
Around 5:30, Chu Heng arrived at the restaurant. He had just gotten off work and there were not many customers in the restaurant, only a few tables.
"Comrade Chu is here."
When the hotel manager saw him coming in, he greeted him enthusiastically. He glanced at the two boxes of Maotai he brought in and was speechless. Then he quickly reached out and took one box: "Hey, your appearance today is not small. It's light." This wine is already seventy or eighty years old!"
"Hey, why don't you ask for help? It's too bad and we can't do anything about it." Chu Heng chatted with him while holding the wine, and walked towards the three tables he had reserved. When he came to them, he put down his things. He opened the cigarette and gave the other party a pack, then asked: "How is the food prepared?"
"Don't worry, it's been prepared early and the food will be served on time at six o'clock." The manager smiled.
"Troubling you."
Chu Heng chatted with him for a few more words, and then the invited guests came over.
The first one is the old company commander of the Materials Bureau. He has to build a building and a guest house. Once he gets it, he will inevitably trouble Wei Chaoying to help coordinate all parties, so he must be hired.
When the old company commander came in, he spotted Chu Heng. After saying hello, he quickly walked forward. He pulled him curiously and asked, "Why are you so unhappy and suddenly serving wine? Who is there today?" "
"You'll know later. Sit down first. Sit down first. I'll greet you at the door." After pulling the old company commander to sit down, Chu Heng hurried out of the hotel and prepared to greet other guests.
