My Courtyard Refuge

: A Small Gift

At 6:30 the next morning, Xu Dong drove his father and Ke Ke back to the courtyard for breakfast.

I didn’t go into the yard, and breakfast was settled in the garage. Xu Ma had prepared a simple table and chairs yesterday, which was much less troublesome than coming here earlier to pick up the meals.

After breakfast, Xiao Zhang came to pick up Xu’s father to go to work, and then sent Ke Ke and the sisters to school.

It took Xu Dong a whole morning to finally transport the last six tons of sugar to Panjiayuan.

Treated a lunch with snacks at noon.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Boss Duan finally arrived, and this time there were quite a few people.

“Brother Xu, let me introduce you. This is our important partner in Yanjing. If you can’t contact me, it’s the same to contact Mr. Li.”

===Section 115===

“President Li, nice to meet you.” Xu Dong said politely, and took the initiative to add the other party’s WeChat.

“Boss Xu, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me in the future.” Mr. Li seemed extraordinarily enthusiastic.

After exchanging pleasantries, Boss Duan pulled Xu Dong aside and explained in a low voice:

“Brother Xu, I went back and asked someone about what you said yesterday, and it was indeed as you said, and I probably won’t be able to come here for a while.

Li is always my brother-in-law, absolutely trustworthy, if you have other business needs, you can come to him. ”

“I understand.” Xu Dong nodded and said, “Old Duan, what is your brother-in-law’s background?”

“He used to be in foreign trade, and now he does what he wants to make money. He also has his own company and has a wide network of contacts. At present, he mainly helps me maintain the sales channels here.”

“Is there no illegal business?” Xu Dong hesitated.

Boss Duan shook his head quickly: “Don’t worry about that, I can assure you that Lao Li will never do those dirty things.

Now in this big environment, we all come out to have a good meal, not to give away the head. ”

“It’s fine if you don’t have it. It’s not worth worrying about every day just to earn that little black-hearted money.”

“Brother Xu, you are right.”

Boss Duan’s face was a little unnatural. Speaking of which, he was also worried and frightened every day, but there was no way, the whole family depended on him to support them, so they couldn’t do anything.

Mr. Li stayed for a while and then left. This time, he came here mainly because he was a familiar face and did not participate in this transaction.

A group of people worked hard for more than three hours, and finally completed all the transactions. The shop with more than 80 square meters was full of two-thirds of the space.

When parting, Boss Duan grabbed Xu Dong again: “Brother Xu, brother, I’m going back to Yangcheng tomorrow. I’ll be the host tonight. How about we get together?”

“This… I have something to do tonight…”

Xu Dong quickly evaded it, mainly because he was afraid of being beaten by the opponent. This is not impossible, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable.

Boss Duan seemed to have expected it, and said directly:

“Brother Xu, I know you have concerns.

I’ve chosen the place. It’s in the hotel we negotiated last time. We’ll prepare our own meals. It’s so close to Panjiayuan, so don’t worry! ”

“What time are you talking about?” Xu Dong asked awkwardly.

“Six o’clock. Let’s break up after eight o’clock. Two hours is enough.””That’s fine, I’ll be on time for the appointment at six o’clock.”

…

There was more than an hour before six o’clock, Xu Dong first called his father and said that he had an appointment for the evening, so he could only leave it to Dad Xu to pick up the meal.

Next, he went home to take a shower and changed his clothes. It was nearly half past five before he drove out.

When he arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Xu Dong called Boss Duan, who quickly came out to greet him in person.

“Brother Xu, the food is ready and I’m waiting for you.”

“Too polite.”

Boss Duan led Xu Dong into a large suite. There was a big table in the middle of the room. There were seven or eight dishes on the table, some meat and some vegetables. It could be seen that the other party had put a lot of thought into it.

But this is not the point, the point is that there are four young women in cool clothes in the room, and they are all of the upper middle class, which made Xu Dong’s heart flutter.

“Hello Mr. Xu!” The four said in unison.

“Old Duan, this is unnecessary!”

“Brother Xu, he’s just here to accompany you for a drink, so don’t get it wrong.” Boss Duan joked.

Xu Dong quickly shook his head: “I came here by car, I can’t drink tonight.”

“It’s okay, let them drink for you.”

After the gossip, the dinner officially began. Apart from Xu Dong and Boss Duan, there were only the four young girls in the room.

Boss Duan drank baijiu, and Xu Dong could only toast with tea.

“Old Duan, thank you for your hospitality.”

“It’s nothing, brother Xu, you are my nobleman, no matter how much you entertain me, you can’t be too much.”

“It’s too serious.”

“Come on, let’s go!”

“cheers!”

After taking a sip of tea, the little girl next to him immediately picked up a piece of meat for Xu Dong.

Xu Dong tasted it, it should be beef, he couldn’t help asking curiously: “Old Duan, where did you get this beef?”

“You might as well guess.”

“It’s definitely not domestic.” Xu Dong insisted.

Under the nationwide system in China, it is impossible to waste precious resources in exchange for these luxuries. Even if there are individual pastures, they are also scientific research.

“Brother Xu, keep guessing!”

“The Beautiful Country, Tuao and New Zealand, should be no more than these three countries. Tuao is the most likely, am I right?”

Boss Duan gave a thumbs up: “Brother Xu, you guessed it right, the beef is indeed from Tu’ao.”

“what price?”

“You can’t buy it with money. You don’t even accept US dollars. You have to pay in gold. Converted into domestic currency, it’s about two to three thousand yuan a catty!”

“Old Duan, are you still in the beef business?” Xu Dong said pleasantly.

If he had known this, he should have stocked up a batch.

Boss Duan shook his head: “No, except for internal digestion, the beef we bought is used for running relationships. The quantity is too small to support the market.”

“Can you get me a batch?” Xu Dong asked.

“It’s really not good. The beef is still in stock last year. Since the beginning of this year, the risk at sea has become more and more serious. We dare not go there now.”

“That’s such a pity.” Xu Dong said with a face full of disappointment.

“Brother Xu, there is really no other way for beef, but we can still get some seafood products. I wonder if you need them here?”

“Old Duan, thank you for your kindness, I don’t need it for now.”

There are hundreds of catties of tuna and two thousand catties of dried seafood at home. Speaking of which, their family really has no shortage of seafood products.

Boss Duan was a little regretful that he wasted a chance to win over.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the little girl next to him hurriedly dragged Xu Dong to chat about hot topics on the Internet.

Which star has gone abroad, which country is in war again, and what interesting places are there in Yanjing right now.

Just chatting and chatting like this, the dinner came to an end.

Boss Duan waved the four girls away, and then he personally took out a small box from the room, which looked heavy.

“Brother Xu, I have prepared a small gift for you. I have made a lot of money with your order, and I have to express it.”
