For several days, Lin Xiao felt regretful for his recklessness, which undoubtedly affected his mood.
However, Liu Xiaoyue's arrival made him gradually forget about this incident.
Liu Xiaoyue rushed over from SH. She brought samples of electric blankets and two brands of watches.
When Zeng Xiaoyu saw these things, his eyes couldn't help but shine. He smiled and said, "Boss! These are all good things. There is no need for trial sales. I think they can be shipped directly."
Lin Xiao was still a little cautious. He asked Zeng Xiaoyu to put the dozens of watches brought by Liu Xiaoyue on the counter, and then put the electric blanket on the counter, and also promoted it at the entrance of the store.
Although this season is not yet the time to sleep on an electric blanket, citizens are very enthusiastic. Many people gathered around to inquire about the price and how to use it.
This scene lasted for several days. Finally, Lin Xiao and Zeng Xiaoyu made an agreement, and Liu Xiaoyue quickly called SH's manufacturer. First, she placed an order verbally, and then Liu Xiaoyue went to SH in person with the task.
The heat was unbearable, and the rush to buy electric fans almost ran out of stock. Fortunately, Lin Xiao and the others had made preparations in advance.
After this wave, they really made a lot of money.
Due to their excellent quality and low pricing, the sales of bicycles imported from SH were getting higher and higher. They immediately took away the business of the department store. Lin Xiao received many warning calls.
Faced with this, Lin Xiao only agreed verbally, but he did not take any action.
Didn’t you say we want to revitalize the economy? In Lin Xiao's view, only with competition can the economy develop rapidly. If it is still the only one, it will be different from the original.
When he got off work that day, Lin Xiao felt that he hadn't seen Lao Huang for a long time. Although they said they lent him the yard to live in, Lin Xiao felt that it was because he had no money at the time! The situation is different now. He has to pay some rent to others.
You shouldn't be too selfish. If you don't live in someone else's yard, you can still make some money by renting it out.
Thinking of this, he went to Huang Xiaowan's house.
After parking his motorcycle under the corner of the courtyard entrance, Lin Xiao went to ring the doorbell.
After a long time, the courtyard door opened. The person who opened the door was Lao Huang. Huang Xiaowan didn't come to open the door. Maybe she hadn't gotten off work yet.
Lin Xiao thought so and walked in.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao found that Lao Huang seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, as if he had a serious illness.
"How have you been lately? I was a little busy, so I didn't come over to see you."
Lin Xiao looked at Lao Huang and asked softly.
Lao Huang took a deep breath and said, "It's okay! You can just be busy with your work. You can also come over and talk to me when you have time."
Lao Huang's expression was a little sad, and he seemed unhappy.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he changed the topic and asked, "Is Xiaowan not off work yet? Is she also very busy during this time?"
When Lao Huang heard Lin Xiao ask this question, his eyes widened in surprise.
"you do not know?"
Lin Xiao was confused and asked hurriedly: "What do I know?"
Lao Huang let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Wan has resigned from being a police officer. She went to the United States. I thought she told you about this when she left."
"What?"
Lin Xiao stood up in surprise. Huang Xiaowan didn't work as a police officer, and she also went to the United States. Why did this sound like nonsense?
Lao Huang shook his head and said helplessly: "When the children grow up and have their own ideas, it won't work for me, an old man, to speak.
Whatever! She felt that she would not be able to realize her ideals as a police officer and would be unhappy at work every day. In this case, I followed her wishes. "
Lin Xiao couldn't recover for a long time. He sneered and asked, "Why is she going to the United States?"
Lao Huang smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Huang Xiaowan is a big boss and has a huge industry in the United States.
When the old man died, he divided the property into two, leaving half to his son and letting Xiaowan inherit the other half.
However, Xiaowan's dream since she was a child was to be a policeman, so the matter of inheriting the property has been put on hold. Unexpectedly, she has been having trouble at work.
Some time ago, she had a conflict with her leadership due to handling a case, and I didn't quite understand some of her practices. She resigned in anger and went to the United States. "
Until Lao Huang finished telling the whole story, Lin Xiao was in a daze. Even if Huang Xiaowan was going to the United States, she had to tell him.
Could it be that after such a long relationship, their relationship would be like this? Did Huang Xiaowan look down on him, or did he really hurt Huang Xiaowan?
Seeing Lin Xiao lowering his head and saying nothing, Lao Huang suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you hate me too?"
Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "Why should I hate you? Without your help, how could I settle down in Qindong County, let alone do business.
Also, you are doing the right thing, this is what every parent does. "
Lin Xiao said with a bitter smile.
Lao Huang shook his head and said, "Even if you don't hate me, Xiaowan already hates me."
Lin Xiao glanced at Lao Huang, smiled bitterly and said, "No, even if I can't figure it out now, I will definitely be able to figure it out in the future.
oh! I have another thing to ask you for tonight. You see, I have lived in your small courtyard for so long. At that time, I could not afford to pay the rent. Now it is inappropriate to live in vain, so what I mean is how much can you pay? Let me count some money. "
When Lao Huang heard what Lin Xiao said, he couldn't help but change his expression and said, "What do you mean? Xiaowan is gone, and you also want to end the relationship with me?"
Seeing that Lao Huang was really angry, Lin Xiao did not dare to continue talking.
Lao Huang let out a sigh of relief and said: "Fate is important between people. Although we don't have a deep friendship, I have long regarded you as my own child.
Then tell me, is there any reason to charge rent to your own children? Besides, I don’t lack this little money.
If you still recognize me, you are not allowed to mention this matter again, otherwise we will pretend that we have never known each other. "
Lao Huang said all the words for this reason. Lin Xiao didn't dare to talk about it anymore, but it moved him even more.
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Xiao rode his motorcycle back to the small courtyard on Beishan Road.
Along the way, Lin Xiao was in a daze. He really couldn't believe that Huang Xiaowan would leave without saying goodbye. Could it be that Huang Xiaowan came to see him to say goodbye that night?
"Brother Xiao! Are you back?"
Suddenly, Zhao Ling'er stood at the entrance of the courtyard.
Lin Xiao was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "Go get some food and come back, and buy a bottle of wine on the way. I haven't eaten yet."
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, she ran away happily.
After a while, Zhao Linger bought elbow meat, a cold dish, and a bottle of white wine.
Feeling unhappy, Lin Xiao picked up the bottle of liquor a little domineeringly and started drinking. After three big gulps, there was not much left in the bottle of liquor.
When Zhao Ling'er took a look, she quickly snatched the liquor bottle from Lin Xiao's hand, but it was already too late. Lin Xiao's eyes were beginning to look confused when she looked at Zhao Ling'er.
