Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 667: I came as a guest from afar and left me two carps!

"What! The total cost of these equipment is 17 million?" Qi Ting, who was sitting nearby, stood up from the sofa when he heard the price quoted by Wang Jianhua, and blurted out with a shocked look on his face.

"Qi Ting! This price is verified based on the purchase price of the Trading Department. However, the equipment recommended to us by the Trading Department is far more advanced than our existing equipment." Director Zhao on the side saw Qi Ting's reaction. , He was deeply afraid that Wu Aiguo would misunderstand, so he explained first before Wang Jianhua could explain.

When Qi Ting learned that the equipment purchased by the Trade Department was more advanced than the equipment on the list, he immediately felt happy. However, when he thought about the price of this batch of equipment, a sad expression immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing the change in Qi Ting's facial expression, Wu Aiguo immediately guessed Qi Ting's inner thoughts and suggested to Qi Ting with a smile: "Qi Ting! The equipment purchased by our trading department are all the most advanced in the world. Equipment, that’s why the price is so expensive.”

"It is precisely because of the high price that the Ministry of Industry does not purchase large quantities. If your Jiangnan Provincial Department of Industry does not have enough funds, then I suggest you purchase basic equipment first. As for the less important equipment, you can We will make purchases when funds are sufficient.”

After hearing Wu Aiguo's suggestion, Qi Ting truly understood why the quantity of equipment purchased by the Ministry of Industry was so small.

Thinking of the remaining funds in the Industrial Department, Qi Ding thought seriously for a moment, and then said: "Director Wu! We have a purple gold mine in Jiangnan Province. If possible, we will purchase mining equipment first."

When Wu Aiguo learned about Qi Ting's final decision, Wu Aiguo smiled and replied: "Qi Ting! No problem. Which equipment do you want to purchase? Jianjun can help you handle the relevant procedures."

When Qi Ting heard what Wu Aiguo said, he quickly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Thank you!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Qi Ting's thanks, he smiled and said to Wang Jianjun: "Jianjun! I'll leave this matter to you. Besides, I'm not free tonight. You can go find Deputy Director Fang later and ask him to represent you." Our Trade Department invites comrades from Jiangnan Province to have a casual meal."

When Wang Jianjun heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, he immediately patted his chest and assured Wu Aiguo: "Director! Don't worry, I promise to receive the comrades from Qiting and Jiangnan Province well."

When Wu Aiguo heard Wang Jianjun's promise, he smiled and said to Qi Ting: "Qi Ting! There is still work to be done in my office. I will let Jianjun assist you with the rest."

Qi Ting originally wanted to find a place to invite Wu Aiguo to have a casual meal in the evening, and then take the opportunity to deepen their relationship. Unexpectedly, before he could send an invitation to Wu Aiguo, Wu Aiguo said that he had something to do at night. Therefore, Wang Jianjun was arranged to receive them.

When Qi Ting heard what Wu Aiguo had explained to Wang Jianjun, he quickly retorted: "Director Wu! You have helped us a lot this time. Logically speaking, we should treat you. How can we cost you money?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Qi Ting's words, he smiled and said to Qi Ting: "Qi Ting! As the old saying goes, if you come from afar as a guest, you will leave me two carps! It's not easy for you to come to Kyoto City. No matter where you start, you can't. We should be doing our best as landlords, so how can we let guests like you treat us?"

At this point, Wu Aiguo said to Wang Jianjun with a smile: "Jianjun! Remember to tell Director He in the cafeteria later and ask him to receive Qiting and the others in the evening."

When Qi Ting saw that Wu Aiguo had already said this, he no longer insisted on the question of who was treating the guests, and said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Since you have said so, then we should be respectful rather than obey your orders!" When Wu Aiguo heard Qi Ting's answer, he smiled and said to Qi Ting: "Qi Ting! This is right. If we have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan Province in the future, there will be many opportunities for you to treat us, so don't worry about this issue. , try the craftsmanship of Director He in our canteen tonight."

"Qi Ting! Director He in our cafeteria is the heir to Tan's cuisine. Anyone who has tasted his cooking skills will give it a thumbs up!" Wang Jianjun heard what Wu Aiguo said to Qi Ting and thought Silly Zhu's craftsmanship, he immediately answered the question and told Qi Ting.

When Qi Ting heard the words "heir of Tan Family Cuisine", his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Director Wu! I have heard of Tan Family Cuisine. It is a very famous official cuisine. I didn't expect that one day, I would I’m honored to be able to taste the cooking skills of Tan’s family.”

At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo drove his parents and wife to Lou Zhenhua's home.

"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome Angkor and sister-in-law to our home." When Lou Zhenhua saw the arrival of Wu Pingshan and his wife, he immediately came out from the house and greeted Wu Pinsheng and Chen Shuying warmly.

When Wu Pingshan saw Lou Zhenhua coming out of his home, he quickly handed the gift to Lou Zhenhua, smiled and said to Lou Zhenhua: "Brother Lou! This is a good wine that one of my relatives gave me not long ago. He said it was made with It's made from big insect bones and various precious medicinal materials. Let's try it together tonight."

When Lou Zhenhua heard Wu Pingshan mention the word "big insect", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he happily said to Wu Pinsheng: "Korean Angkor! This is a good thing! It seems that I will be in luck tonight."

"Uncle Wu! Auntie, sister-in-law Xiaojing! Thank you very much for coming to my birthday." Lou Xiao'e saw Wu Aiguo's family and immediately stepped forward to greet everyone.

Liang Jing looked at Lou Xiao'e who came out of the house and immediately handed the gift she brought to Lou Xiao'e. She smiled and said to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e! My sister-in-law doesn't know what gift you like, so she brought you a bottle of France." Perfume, I hope you like it.”

Lou Xiao'e heard what Liang Jing said and saw the gift that Liang Jing handed to her. She quickly thanked Liang Jing: "Sister-in-law Xiaojing! Thank you for the gift."

After Lou Zhenshan led everyone into the living room, he asked Wu Pingshan with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Angkor! Where are your boss and daughters? Why didn't you invite them too?"

When Wu Pingshan heard Lou Zhenhua ask about his eldest son, he smiled and explained to Lou Zhenhua: "Brother Lou! My eldest daughter-in-law has something to do with her natal family, so she followed her daughter-in-law back to her natal home. As for the two younger ones, let them eat whatever they want at home. Then read and do homework.”

When Lou Zhenhua heard Wu Pingshan's explanation, he pretended to be angry and complained to Wu Pingshan: "Brother Angkor! Yesterday I told Ai Guo to let your whole family come. What do you want me to say about you?"
