Chapter 309: The Unusual Director
Finally it was time for Du Xiaodi to leave.
Feng Xiaochen prepared a lot of gifts for her to take back to Tongyuan. Among them, the famous tobacco and wine that are difficult to buy on the market for her future father-in-law, and the two high-end fabrics for her mother-in-law. As for her future sister-in-law and brother-in-law who are still studying, each of them is a German electronic watch. They wear it on their hands and are swaying and striking, which will definitely make them willingly sell their sister at the first time. In addition, Feng Xiaochen also prepared gifts for Li Qingshan, Gao Liqian and others, so there is no need to explain in detail.
Du Xiaodi just returned from training in Japan and brought her luggage and some small gifts she bought in Japan. When she left Haidong, Ruan Phucen gave her a lot of local specialties. Now, with the things Feng Xiaochen gave her, her luggage reached an unprecedented scale of a large suitcase and three large travel bags, which looked like a self-employed person engaged in long-distance trafficking.
Feng Xiaochen took a long time off, then borrowed a jeep from Lin Chong's office and took Du Xiaodi to the train station in person. Du Xiaodi carried his luggage and followed Feng Xiaochen out. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn around, looked at the courtyard, and said quietly: "This courtyard is so good, I really don't want to leave..."
"Haha, then get married sooner, and you will be the owner of this yard from now on." Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Du Xiaodi kicked Feng Xiaochen, and then said in a low mood: "Next time, I don't know when it will be. Xiaochen, will you go to Tongyuan to see me?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "I will definitely go, please wait for me. In addition, I will make arrangements to transfer you to the capital, so that we will be together?"
"But, our factory doesn't know if it will let me go." Du Xiaodian said quietly.
Feng Xiaochen said: "This is not a problem. We have solved so many problems of separation between husband and wife, including the two couples in Tongyuan Boiler Factory. If I go to your factory director, he will definitely give me such face. I don't know if my Taishan Taishui is willing to let you out, and whether I want to ask me for a betrothal gift."
"They won't do this." Du Xiaodi denied that Feng Xiaochen had talked to her many times these days. She had blushed and didn't dare to listen, but now she has been able to deal with it calmly. She glared at Feng Xiaochen coquettishly and said, "Besides, have you given the betrothal gift? Just giving my dad cigarettes and wine, it cost more than 200 yuan, and it was bought in foreign exchange at the friendship store. Do you have the idea of winning over my dad?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "More than 200 yuan is not too much. The old man has been suffering all his life. As a son-in-law, I should be filial to him. I originally said that I would bring you some money back, but you must not agree. I can't be here all day long and let Taishan Taishui and others save money, right?"
Du Xiaodi scolded: "What is an old man? My dad is only in his 40s, okay?"
After saying that, she whispered again: "We haven't confirmed the relationship yet, how can I use your money? This time, Director Ruan gave me 2,000 yuan, which is enough for my family. Also, haven't I already taken the food coupons you gave me? With these food coupons, my younger brother and sister can at least have a full meal this year."
"Hey, this era is better. I just spent 200 kilograms of food coupons to cheat a wife." Feng Xiaochen sighed with his name.
"Let's say it, let's talk about it!" Du Xiaodi threw down the luggage in his hand, swung his little pink fist and beat Feng Xiaochen hard. The sadness of parting was dispersed a lot.
No matter how reluctant he was, Du Xiaodi got on the train and left the capital. The train drove far away, and Feng Xiaochen on the platform could still vaguely see the girl's arms waving outside the window.
However, Feng Xiaochen soon had no time to think about these things. After seeing Du Xiaodi off, Wang Genji came to him as soon as he returned to the unit, claiming that he had contacted a staff member of the foreign affairs department and knew about the situation on Avare and asked them to go over and talk. Feng Xiaochen happened to be driving the bus from Lin Chong Procurement Station, and Wu Ximin told him not to worry about it. He drove the car and took Wang Genji to the place where he agreed to meet.
It was a newly opened cafe in Dongcheng, located near the International Seafarers Club. The decoration of the storefront was quite Western, and it was obviously not a consumption place for ordinary Chinese working-class people. The lobby of the cafe is not large, with seven or eight tables on it, but now there are only two tables of guests. One table is two white people, drinking coffee while talking about something. The other table is only one Chinese, wearing a pair of large sunglasses that can cover half of the face, wearing a plaid shirt, looking like an amateur overseas Chinese, and was casually sucking a cup of coffee. Wang Genji led Feng Xiaochen into the door, and saw the man, and then led Feng Xiaochen over with a smile.
"Director Zhang, hello, I'll invite our Director Feng." Wang Genji greeted the man.
The man looked up and smiled on his face. He stood up, reached out to Feng Xiaochen, and said, "Director Feng, lucky to meet again."
"Another..." Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise while shaking hands with the other party: "Director Zhang, please forgive me for being stupid..."
"Haha, it's not that you are stupid, it's that I'm rude." The Director Zhang then remembered that he was still wearing sunglasses, and it would be strange if he could recognize him. He quickly took off his sunglasses and asked with a smile: "Director Feng, can he recognize him this time?"
"You are not that Zhang..." Feng Xiaochen suddenly became speechless, not knowing how to call him.
"Zhang Heping." The other party smiled. He understood Feng Xiaochen's confusion, so he pointed at Wang Genji and said, "Don't listen to his yelling. I'm just a purchasing agent. What director is not a director?"
When they greeted each other, Wang Genji wondered: "Why, you two know each other?"
"During the camp's emergency repair, Director Zhang happened to take the same train as me, which was an adjacent bunk. Later, when repairing the clamp truck, Director Zhang worked a lot. Also, my driver's license was also obtained by Director Zhang for me. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to take a driver's license." Feng Xiaochen introduced to Wang Genji.
During the emergency repair of the camp, Feng Xiaochen first concealed his identity from Zhang Heping, saying that he was Lin Chong's purchaser. Later, because he wanted to deal with personnel from Longshan Electrical Factory, the Machinery Department and the Electricity Department, he revealed his true identity. Zhang Heping was a purchaser in a trading company from beginning to end, but his abilities and enthusiasm have always made Feng Xiaochen feel a little suspicious. Now that he heard Wang Genji call him the director, Feng Xiaochen suddenly realized that he had been fussing for a long time, and the other party also had the bad habit of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"Don't, Director Feng, don't call me Director, just call me Lao Zhang, or call me Brother Zhang, I love to listen to this." Zhang Heping still looked like a purchasing agent, careless, making people feel quite approachable.
Feng Xiaochen was not pretentious, he said, "No problem, I'd better call you Brother Zhang. But Brother Zhang, should you change your words and call me Brother Feng?"
"I can't stand you!" Wang Genji spitted pretendingly and said, "It seems that the relationship between you two is more similar to mine. One of you is called Big Brother and the other is called Brother, where did you put me?"
"You can also count it." Feng Xiaochen smiled, "Haven't I called you Brother Wang too? Today, you first called him the official title."
"That's right, today is the first one to call you the official title." Zhang Heping also pointed at Wang Genji and cursed.
After joking for a while, all three of them sat down. Zhang Heping called the waiter and asked her to bring a cup of coffee to Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji. Taking this time, Wang Genji also briefly introduced Zhang Heping to Feng Xiaochen.
It turned out that Zhang Heping and Wang Genji met very early. At that time, Wang Genji was still in middle school, and Zhang Heping was Wang Genji's father's guard... One of them. Because the two were about the same age and sometimes played together, they were considered friends. Later, Zhang Heping left the guard force, and Wang Genji went to college, so the two broke off contact. This time, Wang Genji used some of the relationships he knew to help find someone familiar with Avare's situation. Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping was introduced to him through the relationship. His current identity is a director of Chengfeng Material Trading Company.
"But, Xiao Feng, don't underestimate the peaceful Chengfeng Trading Company. This is not an ordinary trading company." Wang Genji said to Feng Xiaochen mysteriously.
"Xiao Ji, don't talk nonsense. What's so special about us? It's just an ordinary trading company in charge of heaven and earth." Zhang Heping reminded with a smile, but when he heard his tone, he didn't seem to want to hide anything.
Wang Genji said: "Peace, Xiao Feng is not an outsider, it would be boring to hide these things from him. In fact, who doesn't know about your affairs?"
"You!" Zhang Heping pretended to be helpless, then turned to Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiao Feng, sorry, when we met the past two times, because we didn't know your situation, we did not introduce my true identity to you. Our Chengfeng Trading Company is an area enterprise affiliated to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, but is actually affiliated with the national security department. As for our specific mission, I don't need to say more, right?"
