Chapter 72 Gratitude
Xu Chen recalled it.
In the previous life, Xie Bingran was imprisoned in a correctional center for the next two years and did not make it to the 2008 Olympics.
Xu Chen vaguely remembered that Xie Bingran in his previous life seemed to have only emerged after 2010.
Now with Xu Chen's help, Xie Bingran's timeline has changed, and he may really have a chance to compete in the Olympics two years later.
……
Li Rui held the steering wheel and drove smoothly and gently.
This is in huge contrast to his usual arrogant and impulsive appearance.
The fourth uncle sat in the back row and turned to look at Xu Chen, still feeling complicated.
He said half-jokingly to Xu Zhiquan in the passenger seat:
"Second brother, do we have to reimburse Xiaochen for the 120,000 yuan purchase cost of fertilizer?"
Xu Zhiquan laughed:
"You are in charge of the purchasing expenses, so this is your and Xu Chen's account. You two can settle it."
Xu Zhilin smiled, turned to Xu Chen and said:
"Xiaochen, can my fourth uncle owe you the 120,000 yuan first?
Now the company's various purchases are really tight, so I'll calculate the interest for you. ”
Xu Chen: "Fourth uncle, you said so! I will come back to ask you for the account!"
The third uncle on the side adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"Xiaochen, you are too capable. How could you help Mr. Zhao? You actually gave you 120,000 yuan as reward...
With a mind like yours, I can definitely get into a good university! ”
Xu Chen: "I'm borrowing my third uncle's good advice! Then I must pass the 985 exam!"
……
When we returned to the factory, it was evening.
The fourth aunt walked out of the yard, saw a few people getting out of the car, and asked:
"Done?"
Fourth uncle looked proud:
"Of course it's done!"
The fourth aunt was startled, then looked at Xu Chen with a smile:
“I really didn’t expect that the matter of fertilizer was settled by Xiaochen!”
Fourth Uncle: “And ah, it didn’t cost a penny!”
Fourth Aunt: "Ah?! Why?"
Fourth uncle laughed:
"Our Xiaochen is so capable that the owner of the fertilizer factory gave us 120,000 yuan for free!"
The fourth aunt blinked her eyes with a look of disbelief on her face...
Zhang Yongqing adjusted his glasses and interjected:
"And in the future, we can get the goods directly from dealers, instead of going to those small merchants!"
Fourth Aunt: "Really?!"
Fourth uncle showed some emotion and said:
"Yes, no one can hinder us in this fertilizer matter from now on!
I was very worried in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be resolved by our Xiaochen. ”
Xu Chen imitated his father and laughed twice:
“Pure coincidence!”
It was a coincidence indeed.
Xu Chen and Guo Liang proposed to use 120,000 yuan of fertilizer instead of the 80,000 yuan. It was really just a whim.
He just remembered that his father had said that his fourth uncle was having a headache about chemical fertilizers, so he unexpectedly found the right solution and just happened to help.
Everyone entered the courtyard talking and laughing.
Xu Zhiquan said:
"Let's go! Let's put up the new company's sign!"
……
The fourth uncle and the third uncle each came out holding a sign.
Li Rui got two bright red firecrackers from somewhere and carried them at the gate with bamboo poles.
Two signboards, "Dongchen Shares" and "Chenxin Seedlings", were hung up.
There was no ribbon-cutting or red cloth, and no auspicious day was chosen.
Everything was simple and casual, but it couldn't hide everyone's joy.
Li Rui used a lighter to light the firecrackers, and the "cracking" sound could not suppress the bursts of laughter.
Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette and said:
“I’ll tell you some good news in advance.
I have received an internal notification that we have actually won the bid for the Chengnan seedling project. It’s just that the leaders still have internal procedures to review and approve, so it’s not easy to announce them directly to the outside world...”
The third uncle looked delighted: "Really?!"
Fourth uncle smiled:
"Great! Our first business is finally officially opened!
With this order as the foundation, the business will come in a rush. ”
He turned and looked at Zhang Yongqing:
"Yongqing, we are really going to be busy!"
Zhang Yongqing adjusted his glasses:
"It's good to be busy! I have a head to head for!"
Xu Zhiquan waved:
"Let's go! Go drink!"
The fourth aunt said: "Don't worry! Let's take a group photo!"
Xu Chen took out his Nokia N70, and Li Rui stepped forward to help take pictures.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Chen raised his head and glanced at the Accord parked at the door:
"Just put your phone in the car and take pictures! Hurry up and stand still!"
"Ten seconds countdown!"
Xu Chen pressed the countdown shutter and ran back quickly.
Xu Zhiquan grabbed Xu Chen and pulled him to the middle position with a smile.
The flash of the phone flashed and the electronic shutter clicked.
Nokia, which only had two million pixels, recorded the initial start of the "Dongchen Group".
……
The yard was filled with seedlings and potted plants, and an area was now cleared.
Two square wooden tables were put together, filled with meat and vegetables.
Li Rui ordered this from the restaurant next door. It only cost 200 yuan a table with all the fish and meat.
Xu Zhiquan went to the back room and took out two bottles of wine. It turned out to be two bottles of Guojiao.
"Second brother, this is a good drink!" Fourth uncle said with a smile.
"Of course we have to open a bottle of good wine! Today is the official opening, and Xu Chen helped with the fertilizer purchase. Isn't it worth opening a bottle of good wine?"
Open the wine cork and the aroma of wine immediately hits your nostrils.
Fourth uncle licked his lips, obviously craving for wine.
The only two brothers at the table, Xu Zhiquan and Xu Zhilin, could drink. Third uncle Zhang Yongqing took a sip and started to blush.
Xu Chen and Li Rui were both only eighteen years old, so they didn't drink. Besides, Li Rui had to drive later.
The fourth aunt was busy greeting everyone, but her fourth uncle forced her to drink a glass of wine, which was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue.
……
After three drinks, the brothers Xu Zhiquan and Xu Zhilin hugged their shoulders and became very emotional.
Third uncle Zhang Yongqing held a cup of tea and said to Xu Chen:
"Xiaochen, let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!"
Xu Chen quickly picked up the cup:
"Third uncle, you are the elder, I toast you this cup!"
Zhang Yongqing smiled and said:
"I have to thank you for letting me come to work here."
Xu Chen: "What did Third Uncle say? If you want to thank me, you have to thank my dad."
Third uncle: "Brother-in-law told me that it was you who mentioned me to him, so he went to his hometown and brought me out...
I have actually been idle for more than half a year and cannot find a job. Thank you very much! ”
Xu Chen also felt a little emotional, and touched the cup with his third uncle:
"Third uncle, don't be polite. Our nursery stock company is now thanks to you!"
The third uncle smiled sheepishly, raised his head and drank the cup of tea.
Li Rui also brought a cup of tea:
"Thank you, Brother Chen!
I, Li Rui, can't speak, and I've only been here for three or two days. Mr. Xu, Fourth Uncle, and Uncle Yongqing are all very kind people, just like Brother Chen.
It’s my destiny that I, Li Rui, can follow me and work here...
I am really grateful to Brother Chen! ”
Xu Chen smiled, said nothing, and patted Li Rui on the shoulder.
