Back to 84: Getting rich from collecting rubbish

Chapter 1902
The hot pot restaurant Fang Xiaomei mentioned is about a mile away from where Shen Lin lives.

But it was not on the street, but in a small alley.

When Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong walked in, there were already four or five tables of people sitting in the store with six or seven tables.

The owners of the hot pot restaurant looked like a middle-aged couple. When they saw Shen Lin coming over, they quickly served the menu.

Shen Lin looked at the familiar contents on the menu and quickly ordered some dishes that he and Lu Xiaorong liked.

In just ten minutes, all the dishes were served.

Shen Lin, who had been eating Western food for several days, felt refreshed when he ate the slightly spicy hot pot.

He said to Lu Xiaorong: "Hey, if I had known there was such a good place, I would have come here a long time ago."

“This hot pot is still delicious.”

Lu Xiaorong put the vegetables into the copper pot and said with a smile: "I remember Xiaomei told you two days ago. It was you who didn't come."

"Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too."

"This green vegetable is pretty good."

While the two were eating, Shen Lin suddenly felt someone coming to their table.

Because he was unfamiliar with the place, Shen Lin still attached great importance to the safety of himself and Lu Xiaorong. He quickly looked up and saw a tall man in his 20s, wearing a suit, staring at Lu Xiaorong.

What's happening here?
Just when Shen Lin was on guard, he heard the man suddenly say: "Are you...are you Lu Xiaoshan's sister..."

Lu Xiaorong was ready to be recognized, but neither she nor Shen Lin expected that this person would actually call out Sister Lu Xiaoshan.

Whether in Dongzhou or elsewhere, although Lu Xiaoshan is also a successful person.

But when everyone talks about Lu Xiaorong, few people call Lu Xiaorong Sister Lu Xiaoshan.

Because the names of Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong are much greater than that of Lu Xiaoshan.

And those who can say that Lu Xiaorong is Lu Xiaoshan's sister should also know Lu Xiaorong.

Lu Xiaorong was surprised and said solemnly: "I am Lu Xiaorong, Lu Xiaoshan's sister. Who are you?"

"Hahaha, you are really Lu Xiaoshan's sister. I didn't expect to meet you here."

The man said in surprise: "I am Chen Zhiming, a junior high school classmate of Lu Xiaoshan. I have also been to your house to play?"

Chen Zhiming!
Lu Xiaorong didn't have much impression, after all, his younger brother had many classmates when he was in school.

But it was also a surprise to meet her brother's classmates here. She smiled and said, "Hello Chen Zhiming, why are you here?"

"After I graduated from university, I came here to study, and now I'm studying for a Ph.D. here."

"Sister Lu, what are you..."

Lu Xiaorong smiled and said: "My husband and I came here to do some errands. I heard that the hot pot here is pretty good, so I came over to eat."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaorong glanced at Shen Lin, and when he saw Shen Lin nodded slightly, he smiled and said, "Chen Zhiming, if you don't mind, let's come over and have a chat."

Chen Zhiming's attention was all on Lu Xiaorong.

Hearing that Lu Xiaorong said that he came with his husband, his smile became a little stiff for some reason.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "Sister, I'll sit down for a moment."

"I haven't been back for several years, and I also want to know the news about Dongzhou."

While talking, Chen Zhiming took his own bowl and chopsticks and sat down opposite Shen Lin.

Although Shen Lin was surprised by Chen Zhiming's appearance, he didn't think about anything else.

He smiled and greeted Chen Zhiming: "Hello, Chen Zhiming, my name is Shen Lin. It is really fate that we met together!" Looking at the smiling Shen Lin, Chen Zhiming forced a smile and said: "Brother Shen, you are Okay, haha, I didn’t expect to meet you either.”

"By the way, Brother Shen, you are here..."

"Dealing with some work matters." Shen Lin said casually: "Zhiming, what major are you studying?"

"I major in bioengineering and will graduate in one year." When Chen Zhiming said this, he suddenly said to Shen Lin: "Brother Shen, I haven't been back for a while, and I don't know much about the prices over there."

"Brother Chen, is our salary still one or two hundred a month?"

Shen Lin smiled and said: "It has increased a bit now. Ordinary workers can basically get three to four hundred yuan a month."

"Three to four hundred yuan is really too little. I am now working as an assistant in a laboratory and can earn more than 3000 yuan a month."

"More than 3000 US dollars!"

When Chen Zhiming talked about the beautiful sword, his eyes were full of pride.

Obviously, at this time, he was very satisfied with his salary.

Shen Lin looked at Chen Zhiming and smiled softly.

More than 3000 U.S. dollars is a lot compared to other people, but for Shen Lin, who can earn 20 or [-] dollars every minute, this money is really nothing.

He smiled and said: "It's really quite a lot."

"Brother Shen, if you don't have enough money this time, just tell me. I still have some savings here."

When Chen Zhiming said this, he looked at Lu Xiaorong and said: "Sister Xiaorong, Xiaoshan and I were good friends back then. You and I must not be polite."

Lu Xiaorong didn't take Chen Zhiming's complacent words to heart. She smiled and said, "Thank you Zhiming. The money we brought this time is enough."

"By the way, you won't be going back for a few days. Is there anything you need to bring with you? We can help bring it back to you."

"Maybe I will go back to Dongzhou tomorrow."

Hearing what Lu Xiaorong said, Chen Zhiming was stunned for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to write a letter to my family and send it back, but the mailing was a bit slow."

"Okay, I'll go back and write a letter home. Sister Lu, please help me take it back."

Lu Xiaorong said: "Okay, just write the letter and take it back to me."

Looking at the gentle Lu Xiaorong, Chen Zhiming felt that his heart suddenly beat a little fast. He hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Sister, how is Xiaoshan doing now?"

"When I came here, I heard that he was planning to enter our winery over there."

"That unit is pretty good!"

Lu Xiaorong said with a smile: "Xiaoshan is doing quite well now. He didn't enter the winery at that time, and the competition was a bit fierce."

"As long as you live a good life, in fact, although the wages in wineries are a bit higher, I heard from a relative who works in a winery that the work there is not only boring, but also a bit tiring."

“It’s really not very suitable for hills there.”

As Chen Zhiming spoke, he gently adjusted his glasses and said as if he had thought of something: "Sister, I heard that you work in our hardware machinery factory. Are you still there?"

"No, the hardware machinery factory no longer exists." Lu Xiaorong glanced at Shen Lin and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

In front of his classmate's younger brother, he couldn't say that the hardware machinery factory had been acquired by his husband. This would be a bit too showy.

Lu Xiaorong was still a little reluctant to do things like this.

Hearing that the hardware machinery factory was gone, Chen Zhiming seemed to understand something.
