Chapter 400
The Lunar New Year is getting closer day by day, and I always feel that Jinling is not as strong as Beijiang.
Except for all kinds of queuing up to buy New Year's goods in the streets and alleys, other places seem a little deserted and depressed.
Occasionally, a few old men wrapped in thick padded jackets, holding a large tea mug in one hand, and a newspaper in the other, greeted each other with Jinling's obscure accent, exchanged a few words, and then left.
Beyond that, there may be some element of belonging. In his previous life, he had worked so hard in Jinling for so many years, but he couldn't find a sense of belonging in this city. Although it is different now, the feeling still continues.
Early in the morning, Wu Tao curled up under the quilt, looked at the frost on the window lattice, shrank even more, and didn't want to get up.
Yuanqi Technology survived this crisis without any surprises, and he was finally able to slack off in a grandiose manner, and resume his old career as a shopkeeper.
It's just that every morning, no matter whether he goes to work or not, he always wakes up on time at that time, and he can't get it if he wants to sleep for a while.
Ding Lingling, who was curled up in the bed, was fighting to figure out whether to get up, when the doorbell rang.
Now I have to get up.
He got up and put on his clothes, wrapped in a coat, kicked the squeaking slippers, went straight to the door, and opened it.
Accompanied by a burst of cold air, mixed with different aromas.
"It's you!"
Ding Tiantian stood up pretty, holding hot tofu nao and deep-fried dough sticks in her hands, followed by Chen Yue and Tang Yan, two girlfriends.
"I heard that you came a long time ago, but you didn't come to see you today, you don't blame us?" Ding Tiantian entered the door and took off her thick coat, revealing her slender figure.
But Tang Yan didn't take the blame, "If you want to blame it, it's your own fault, don't bring me and Chen Yue together."
"Yoho~" Wu Tao pretended to be majestic, "Why, let the two of you employees come and see the boss, are you wronged?"
Chen Yue stuck out her tongue and took the opportunity to sneak over to help Ding Tiantian.
Tang Yan was left alone and said strongly: "It's almost Chinese New Year, obviously the boss should visit us, but it's only right to give us red envelopes."
Wu Tao scolded mercilessly: "Open your mouth and shut your mouth, you will get a red envelope. I will ask Shi Guangyao to divorce you as soon as possible when you go back, lest his little fortune is not enough to fill your teeth."
"He dares!" As soon as Shi Guangyao was mentioned, Tang Yan got excited. This is not once or twice. It seems that Shi Guangyao really has no status in the relationship between the two.
After Ding Tiantian divided the tofu nao fritters, she brought them to Wu Tao.
Wu Tao looked at his hands and was about to get up to wash up. Unexpectedly, Ding Tiantian sat down in front of him, held the tofu nao, squeezed the fritters, and said to his mouth: "I'll feed you."
The fragrant hot air rushed straight to the nostrils, making people move their index fingers.
Wu Tao didn't think much about it, and immediately took a bite, and he was really fed like this. At this moment, Tang Yan and Chen Yue just booed: "Tsk tsk, do you want to be so direct?"
Ding Tiantian was so disturbed that her pretty face turned red to the base of her neck. That shyness, in the eyes of Wu Tao from a short distance, is really as attractive as it is.
With the addition of a soft sweater and tight leather pants, the figure is very graceful and attractive.
Seeing that Wu Tao missed An Rong immediately, it was a pity that it was only a few days ago, and he didn't let An Rong come over.
After eating most of the deep-fried dough sticks in one breath, he got up and said, "I'm going to brush my teeth, you guys eat first."
After breakfast, Tang Yan asked, "Master, what are your plans for today? If you're okay, go shopping with us."
When he heard about shopping, Wu Tao shrunk his neck in fright, but said with a serious face: "Today I plan to visit Professor Gu. I heard that he has just been selected as an academician, so I have to celebrate."
I thought that the three girls heard that they were An Rong's grandfather, so they decided not to follow them begging for nothing.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yan turned her eyes, "You can't go empty-handed when you go to visit Professor Gu, right? It's Chinese New Year, at least you have to buy some gifts, right?"
It was true, Wu Tao's face turned cold, and then he wrote lightly: "Hey, go to the newly opened Suguo Supermarket to buy whatever you want..."
Tang Yan smiled immediately, "Have you ever been to Suguo Supermarket? Except for daily necessities, fruits, meat and eggs, there is nothing else. You, a big boss, can sell these odds and ends?"
Wu Tao's questioning eyes fell on Ding Tiantian's face, who nodded seriously.
It seems that this is true. After all, Suguo Supermarket has just opened not long ago, and it is reasonable that the goods are not as rich as in memory.
Tang Yan couldn't help clapping her hands gloatingly, "Be obedient and go shopping with us! The three of us will provide you with free suggestions and opinions. Just enjoy yourself..."
When Pajero arrived at Xinjiekou, it was really a sea of people, which was extraordinarily spectacular.
No wonder the popularity in the streets and alleys is bleak and ruthless, so they all gathered here.
Although Friendship Mall declined, Xinbai Store and Central Shopping Center quickly made up for the vacancy in this area.
Walking into the first floor of the shopping mall, accompanied by the heat wave, there are crowds of people, and there is a lot of noise.
Looking at the crowded crowd, Wu Tao had no choice but to protect Ding Tiantian in his arms. As for Tang Yan, she was protecting Chen Yue and pushing forward, but her face was filled with joy and excitement.
Finally squeezed to the stairs, looking around, the most popular counter is undoubtedly the mobile phone sales counter.
Among them, the Lotus mobile phone marked with a lotus flower is the most popular. The front of the counter was crowded with three floors inside and three floors outside, and it was simply impossible to get through.
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Wu Tao's depressed mood of being coerced by the three girls was instantly swept away.
After having a meal at Xinjiekou, Wu Tao came to Xuefu Community with a few boxes of supplements.
Knocking on the door, Yin Wenfang's overjoyed and kind face was revealed. Wu Tao raised his eyes and saw that Gu Xueli was sitting on the sofa inside, reading the newspaper while looking at Erlang's legs.
It's really deserted.
"Grandma, I've heard that my grandfather was selected as an academician, and I just came to celebrate today. Don't you blame me?"
Yin Wenfang looked at the boxes of supplements, even though there was no shortage at home, she still cared and said: "Hey, it's quite expensive, you kid, you're just wasting money."
"As long as you like it, it's not a white flower!" Wu Tao entered the door with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Tao sat down and warmed his hands with a carved glass of hot water.
Gu Xueli put down the newspaper, "You are so busy, don't pay attention to these common etiquettes. By the way, I heard that the Lotus mobile phone is almost discredited this time, tell me quickly."
At that moment, Wu Tao told the story in detail.
Gu Xueli sighed for a while and said: "If this matter is changed to someone else, it will probably be messed up. Even if it is not messed up, it will also hurt your vitality. You dare to make so many strange moves. Not only have you regained your market share, but your brand has become even bigger. It's ringing!"
After saying that, he changed his tone: "However, in this way, it is undoubtedly against the three major foreign brands. I am afraid that the development of your Lotus mobile phone next year will not be so smooth. Whether it is technology or parts supply..."
Wu Tao said with a smile: "Forging iron requires hard work. We can't always rely on the technology of foreigners. So I'm not here to find my grandfather, to help me urge those technical research projects. Even if they don't need it next year, they can be used by then." It’s okay to bluff people!”
