"Hello, boss! I'm from Quanzhou, Jiangsu. I came here to learn about your company's flooring products." Someone stood at the door of the business department and knocked on the door.

I turned my back to the door, looked back, and said in surprise: "Cao, Cao Hua, you kid, why are you here."

When Cao Hua saw it was me, he was naturally surprised when he met a fellow countryman in a foreign country.

"Ah! Manager Qian, why are you here?"

"Ship it here! Why are you here?"

"I saw that your sales were good, so I came here. If you make money, you can't let us make money? They are all here. My uncle is in Beixian, and the Red Army soldiers are in Kunming. They all have to deliver the goods themselves."

"Oh, that's normal! We're not enemies in the same group, we're all friends, right?"

The five Cao brothers and sisters all sell building materials. On Huancheng Road in the urban area, almost every street is occupied by the stores of the Cao brothers and sisters.

Cao Hua is the second son of the Cao family. He used to sell floors in a branch company. The uncle Cao Hua mentioned is Liu Jie, the son-in-law of the Cao family, who is the best at making boards. Hong Bing is the eldest son of the Cao family. The three of them are the same age as me.

They have many interactions with each other.

"Manager Qian, where do you live? Chengdu?"

"I'm staying at Jixian Hotel in Beixian County. Where do you stay? When did you arrive in Chengdu?"

"Ah! I'm also staying at Jixian Hotel. I just arrived yesterday. How many days have you been here?"

"I've been here for three days to deliver goods at this company. I need to prepare enough goods for the New Year. Railway freight is suspended during the Spring Festival. It will be troublesome if there is a shortage of goods in the spring. Wow, your Cao family has already made flooring. It seems that the flooring market is booming."

"Yes, if you deliver the goods here, I won't. What time will you go back to the hotel in the evening? I'll be in room 6180. Let me know when you come back and treat you to a drink."

"Okay! I just don't drink."

In the evening, Cao Hua and I were drinking at a stall downstairs in the hotel. I ordered a bottle of drink. Cao Hua drank a lot. After a while, he had finished half a dozen beers.

The more Cao Hua drank, the more excited he became.

"Manager Qian, let me tell you, I have never been drunk after drinking beer. I have won bonuses for drinking beer in bars across the state."

"I can see that you drink a lot, and I only drink one glass."

"Manager Qian, can you play cards?" Cao Hua leaned over and asked.

"Of course, now 1 billion people and 900 million gamble! I know all the cards."

"Okay! My uncle is coming in the evening. He likes to play 5-card Stud. Let's win him a few thousand, drink and sing, okay? He is rich and stingy, so let's mess with him! He's not smart."

"Boy, he is your uncle!"

"It's okay. Hong Bing and I often mess with him at family gatherings. He made a fortune this time on plate futures. It doesn't matter. Don't worry, I'll give you the capital."

"it's not good."

"Okay, you listen to me, you and I see each other's cards, and then we argue with each other, and we promise to win him. If we win him a few thousand, it's over. Don't worry, if we lose, it's mine."

After speaking, Cao Hua took out a wad of money from his bag, immediately counted 5,000, and handed it to me.

I thought for a while and said, "I have the capital, but I'll explain that I don't care about winning or losing, I just listen to you." I took the 5,000 from Cao Hua and put it in my bag.

Half an hour later, Liu Jie carried his big brother and wandered to the stall.

When he saw it was me, he rushed over and patted me on the shoulder, hehe said,

"Hey, Manager Qian, my eyes are filled with tears when I see my fellow villagers. Why don't you drink?"

"Mr. Liu, hello! Come have a drink."

"My little uncle doesn't drink either. He just likes to play cards." Cao Hua brought up the topic slyly and said, "How about it? Little uncle, let's have a fight and it will be over soon."

"Let's fight! I'm afraid you won't succeed, Manager Qian. This kid has itchy skin. Treat him."

Before 12 o'clock, Liu Jie lost his last 600 yuan, scattered his cards, and stood up.

"I'm not coming anymore, Cao Hua, please invite me to sing on the third floor."

"Okay, uncle, this is a must, thank you for your sponsorship! Let's go." Cao Hua said haha ​​while counting the money.

"If you lose, you'll be happy. Just treat it as lucky money. How much did Manager Qian win?"

"I'm here to invite you. I'll win more, I'll get 3,200."

I put the counted money into my bag, stood up and said.

"If I lose an integer of 5,000, then Cao Hua will win 1,800."

"Yes, Geely." Cao Hua said with a smile, "Find another sister-in-law for my uncle. Don't worry, little uncle, I won't mention it when I get home!"

I started teasing,

"Cao Hua, you don't know, your uncle deliberately lost you. This is hush money!"

"Manager Qian still understands the market, but his kid doesn't. He's underage."

"Little uncle, this seems to be a little less than the hush money."

"Here you go, I still have tens of thousands in my bag, take it yourself."

Liu Jie picked up the bag and raised it as if he wanted to hit Cao Hua.

The three of them were joking while going to the third floor.

The ballroom on the third floor is very large. There is a long bar on the left side of the door and a stage on the right. There are three or five ladies sitting at the bar waiting for customers. There is a dance floor in the middle. There are card boxes on three sides with curtains and dim lights flickering.

Couple of man and woman embracing and dancing on the dance floor.

When the waiter saw the three people entering the ballroom, he bent down and said,

"Sir, please come inside!"

The three of them immediately followed the waiter to the bar.

"Uncle, Mr. Liu, do you choose for yourself? Or should I choose for you?"

"Let me take a look. Ask if you can..."

Liu Jie was obviously an experienced driver and stared at the lady sitting at the bar. He came closer and took turns to look at her.

"I understand, I understand, Mr. Liu." Cao Hua smiled, nodded, and immediately whispered in the waiter's ear, and then said to Liu Jie, "Basically, it's fine. You can choose to sit in the private room with a card. If you like,

You can take it away, you can negotiate the tip yourself.”

Liu Jie was not polite and immediately picked out a girl with a short leather skirt, a leather top and half-breasted clothes, and brought her to the card box.

I watched Liu Jie walk away and I joked,

"Cao Hua, look, your uncle is also wearing a fur coat, which matches this young lady quite well."

"Yes, he likes this one. Manager Qian, how about you, choose one?"

I shook my head, "I don't want it, you choose?"

"I still want to drink. I like being in the lobby. The atmosphere is good. There will be singing later and I want to sing." Cao Hua said, "Let's each choose one and chat with them. I'm happy today. Anyway, it's my uncle's treat. No.

It’s a pity to play, isn’t it?”

He said to the waiter again,

"Have another half dozen beers, find someone who can drink, and find a young man for my friend."

After a while, the waiter led two ladies over,
Chapter completed!
