Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 72 The Man in Black

When Xu Jichang rode to the gate of the power supply station, he saw that their unit was off work, and there were no workers in the compound. Even the security guards on duty at the gate sneaked away to have lunch.

Well, now there is no one who asked about Zhou Qing's whereabouts.

But it doesn't matter, I guess Zhou Qing should also leave the unit and go home to eat, instead of solving it in the cafeteria.

Xu Jichang stopped his bicycle, put his foot on the handlebars, and thought to himself.

Because the last time he sold ginseng was also at noon, Zhou Qing was going home for dinner.

Look along his way home, maybe you can see him.

Thinking of this, Xu Jichang stepped on the bicycle pedal again, and lightly pedaled towards the family courtyard of the power supply station.

After coming to the county for the past few days, he has already grasped the general layout of the county and knows where Zhou Qing's family courtyard is.

As expected, after riding along the road for a while, Xu Jichang saw Zhou Qing's familiar back.

Still a spotless denim shirt, plus well-made trousers, the difference is that he rode a bicycle today, and kept his head down all the time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Director Zhou, go home and have dinner."

He stopped his bicycle and said hello when he reached Zhou Qing's heels.

Zhou Qing raised his head immediately after hearing the voice: "Hey, it's Section Chief Xu. Did you get another mountain product today?"

"Let Director Zhou tell you the truth."

Xu Jichang waited for him to come to the front and back on his bicycle, and said with a smile, "I bought a lot of mountain goods this time."

"After your unit buys it, it happens to be able to give benefits to cadres and workers."

"Then let's go and have a look."

Zhou Qing said.

……

A while later, Xu Jichang led Zhou Qing, riding bicycles one after the other to the gate of his courtyard.

"Tuk Tuk."

"Open the door, it's me."

Xu Jichang knocked on the door, and soon there were footsteps in the courtyard, and then the courtyard door opened, and Shunzi appeared behind the door.

Zhou Qing followed Xu Jichang and pushed his bicycle into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he showed surprise on his face, and then nodded in praise: "Your house is very good, it is the housing standard of the deputy director level."

“It must be very comfortable to live here.”

As the director of the county power supply station, Zhou Qing enjoys the housing standard of section chiefs, and he actually doesn't like buildings.

It's just an unfortunate coincidence that their unit doesn't have a single-family house, so he has always wanted to own such a house but has no chance.

Seeing Xu Jichang's house today, he felt very envious.

"Director Zhou has won the award, but living here is very comfortable."

Xu Jichang said, "Let's go inside and look at the goods."

Zhou Qing nodded, followed in, and concluded in his heart that Xu Jichang must have a strong background in order to be allocated such a super-standard house.

Well, it makes sense in this way, why he can become a department-level cadre of a provincial enterprise at a young age, or a real job.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing was in awe of Xu Jichang.

"Here, look, this is what I have in hand."

After entering the living room, Xu Jichang came to a corner of the room, brought a bag of mountain goods back to Zhou Qing, opened the bag and took out a handful, "The best Hericium erinaceus, 100% dry goods, there is no moisture left."

Zhou Qing stepped forward to touch a handful of Hericium erinaceus, showing approval on his face: "It is indeed a good product, and I would like to ask Section Chief Xu to make a price first."

Since he concluded that Xu Jichang's identity was not simple, his words and expressions became more respectful.

"Nine cents a catty. I won't lie to you about the fungus. It hasn't been completely dried yet, so it costs thirty cents a catty."

"There are also marinated rabbits, pheasants, etc., come and see."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he led Zhou Qing to the bags piled up in the corner of the room, and asked him to look through all the mountain goods.

During the process, Zhou Qing was full of praise for the quality of these mountain products, and expressed his attitude after reading it: "Please ask Section Chief Xu to quote a price for the remaining mountain products. The price is suitable and our unit will ask for all of them."

Xu Jichang then pointed to the bag and told the prices one by one,

"The price of Hericium erinaceus and fungus, I just said."

"Now the two hares cost one yuan and five catties, and the pheasants cost one yuan and one catty."

"Dried Xueha, five yuan a catty..."

Zhou Qing had no objection to the price he quoted: "Success, that's it, let's weigh it with a scale."

Shunzi hurried to get the scale from the carriage, and weighed it when she came back.

When Shunzi was weighing, Zhou Qing was always absent-minded.

He was wondering which celebrities surnamed Xu had come out of this county, and which of them might become Xu Jichang's backstage.

After a while, Shunzi weighed all the mountain goods and calculated the price.

The total was 650 and two yuan. After finishing the calculation, Xu Jichang casually grabbed a handful of Hericium erinaceus and said, "Let's count it as [-] yuan. I will give these Hericium erinaceus as gifts to Director Zhou."

"No, no, no need."

Zhou Qing immediately showed panic and waved his hands again and again, "Just 650 Two, I can't ask for your things."

Zhou Qing had already preconceived that Xu Jichang had an unusually strong background, so how dare he accept it now.

"Director Zhou, why are you so polite? This is not the first time we have dealt with each other."

Xu Jichang was a little puzzled by his attitude.

"I'm not being polite. It's Section Chief Xu who is obviously polite. From now on, Section Chief Xu, you don't have to call me Director Zhou anymore, just call me Old Zhou."

The more Xu Jichang was like this, the more awed Zhou Qing felt.

What is approachable, this is called approachable.Even though he has an all-powerful background, he is still polite and considerate to others.

I was really too careless and careless in the past. When dealing with Xu Jichang, I didn't take care to find out his background.

Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes in speaking and doing things, otherwise it would be over.

Director Zhou thought with some fear, he felt that he should pay more attention in the future, and he must be more respectful when dealing with Xu Jichang.

"That's all right, Lao Zhou. Let's go to the yard to have a look."

Xu Jichang could see the change in Zhou Qing's attitude, but his focus was on selling things now, and he couldn't care less about the reason, so he simply changed his name.

After coming to the yard, he showed Zhou Qing the Zheluo salmon and the big pike.

"Oh, three flowers and five Luos, such a big Zheluo salmon. And this pike, they are all good things."

Zhou Qing just followed Xu Jichang into the house just now and didn't notice these buckets at all. Now that he came to the front and back, he couldn't help sighing, "Xu Section Chief, you are really capable, and you can get so many good goods."

"The total is 190 catties of salmon. I'll give you three yuan and fifty catties. The pike is 20 catties. I'll give you 60. The total is 725, plus 200 catties of food stamps and 100 industrial coupons."

Xu Jichang said, "Old Zhou, you should be able to accept it."
