Secretary Zhao looked very busy and exchanged a few words with Zheng Bajin. Knowing that he had finally put down his property in the village and concentrated on development in the city, he said goodbye and went to the building. Before leaving, he said a few polite words.
You will definitely gain a lot from developing yourself in Qiucheng. Contact me when you have time and look for opportunities to get together.
Zheng Bajin naturally wouldn't take it to heart. How could such a big secretary take him seriously, who was just starting his career? It was just talk!
Besides, I already have Qingqing.
"Boss, please take a seat!" When the restaurant owner realized that he was the ham boss, he said with a polite smile.
"No, fry two side dishes for me. I'll pick them up later."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll help you take it to the shop in a moment. You don't know, the big shots in the city are used to eating your old ham. Do you want a piece?"
Zheng Bajin was stunned and said: "I won't eat the old ham anymore. I eat it every day. Just give me a plate of fried pork liver, a small stir-fried pork, a bowl of cabbage, and two bowls of rice."
The boss nodded in agreement and said he would deliver it to him personally in a while, which made Zheng Bajin feel embarrassed.
Seeing that he came back so soon, Qingqing looked at him doubtfully: "So soon? Where is the food?"
"Don't worry, I will feed you later!" Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
Qingqing was stunned and cursed: "Who wants you to feed me? I can't feed myself? I have hands and feet."
"Haha, as long as you have hands! You can't use your feet." Zheng Bajin wanted to continue joking, but when he saw someone coming to buy ham, he quickly stopped.
She gave him a clear look and went to weigh the other person's ham.
Zheng Bajin stood aside and watched Qingqing working.
Qingqing rolled her eyes at him again and secretly cursed: "Ba Jin, you have changed!"
In more than ten minutes, Qingqing made two or three transactions, and the boss actually delivered the food in person. He said in a polite manner: "Boss Zheng, if you need it, just give the order at any time and I will deliver it to you right away." .”
Zheng Bajin also smiled and said: "Don't be so polite, just ask a worker to deliver it. Why does the boss have to go there himself? How much does it cost?"
"You're welcome. This is the first time. Just treat it like I'm treating the boss to a meal and we'll figure out the money next time. Hey, this must be the lady. She looks so blessed. She will definitely bring good luck to Boss Zheng." The restaurant owner said politely.
Zheng Bajin smiled and did not refuse, saying: "That's so embarrassing, at least you have to collect some money."
"You really don't need it, I'll take it next time." The boss said. He was afraid that Zheng Bajin would insist on giving money, so he left immediately and turned around and said, "Take it easy, you two. I'll ask someone to come over and collect the bowls later!" "
Qingqing was a little stunned and asked doubtfully: "You two knew each other before?"
"I don't know, it's familiar once it's raw!" Zheng Bajin handed a bowl of rice into Qingqing's hand and said, "Okay, don't think about it, come and eat quickly, it won't taste good after it gets cold. "
He picked up a bowl by himself, took a piece of meat from the bowl on the tray, and placed it in a clear bowl.
"I can do it myself, I'm not without hands or feet." Qing Qing gave him a clear look.
"As long as you have legs, I'm afraid you'll hurt my flesh!" Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
Qingqing stared at him, kicked him, and cursed: "You don't even eat properly, believe it or not, I'll beat you?"
"Okay, stop making trouble and eat, I don't dare anymore." Zheng Bajin didn't feel any pain, but made an exaggerated expression.
Qing Qing glanced at him, but there was no one else. They were really enemies!
The food tasted pretty good, and since the two of them were very hungry, it tasted very sweet. They talked about love while eating.
Qingqing is very passive, unlike Zheng Bajin who is shameless and doesn't care about the situation. She just says embarrassing things in broad daylight...
In the afternoon, there were fewer customers. Zheng Bajin asked Qingqing to look at the store, saying that he was going out to do some errands.
Qingqing was a little afraid of staying alone in this unfamiliar place, but she didn't dare to say it because she was afraid that Zheng Bajin would make fun of her.
Zheng Bajin felt relieved. This was the seat of the municipal government, and no one dared to make trouble in broad daylight.
He came to the municipal family area alone, about 200 meters away from the municipal building.
After entering the community, he saw several old men sitting drinking tea and chatting. Zheng Bajin walked over, took out the grass and handed one to each of them.
Several old men picked it up, but the old woman didn't.
However, when they saw the stranger who suddenly came in, they were a little wary. However, seeing that the young man looked like a good-looking man and was very polite, they soon relaxed their vigilance.
An old man in his sixties looked at him and said, "Young man, I see you don't live here. What's the matter?"
"That's right, I want to see a house here. Does anyone want to sell or rent it?" Zheng Bajin said politely with a smile.
People looked at him. His clothes were ordinary and he didn't look like a rich man. However, he was smoking grass and he didn't look like an ordinary person. Some people said, "Yes, there are, but it's a bit expensive. Can you afford it?" If you rent it, people may not agree to it.”
Zheng Bajin didn't take it seriously. Of course he knew that not many people were selling their houses now. People had a concept that you would not be poor if you repaired your house, but you would not be rich if you sold your house.
They all want to keep their properties no matter what.
In addition, there is no commercial housing development in small cities now. Naturally, I don't want to miss this rare opportunity, so I said: "As long as there is one, it is easy to negotiate. It can be sold or rented, as long as the price is right."
The sixty-year-old man said: "I think Lao Wang's family is going to be sold. His son will leave here soon and go to work in the provincial capital."
Zheng Bajin was overjoyed and continued: "Which room is his home? I'll go and have a look."
"I don't know which one. Lao Wang usually doesn't come downstairs to play until around four o'clock. Just wait!" an old man said, taking out the chess and starting to play.
Another old man saw it and followed suit.
Zheng Bajin looked at the time. It would be three o'clock soon. What's the point of waiting?
He smoked again and watched the old men playing chess.
The two old women were not idle either. They were sitting on a chair on one side, doing household chores and knitting sweaters.
It looks comfortable and natural.
After a while, an old man with gray hair came over carrying a small stool.
The sixty-year-old man saw it just now and said hurriedly: "Lao Wang is here!"
Lao Wang nodded to him and said with a smile: "Good morning, everyone!"
Zheng Bajin hurriedly greeted him, smiled, handed over a cigarette, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang, I heard that you have a house to deal with?"
"You are..." Lao Wang suddenly looked at Zheng Bajin warily.
"My name is Zheng Bajin. I just came to the city to start a small business and want to find a place to stay." Zheng Bajin simply explained his purpose.
"Young man, what kind of business are you doing?" Lao Wang asked about Zheng Bajin's origins without talking about selling the house.
