Chapter 264 A Beautiful Aunt Fell from the Sky

"Comrade, this is my letter of introduction. On behalf of our Jinshanbao Production Brigade, I hope to rent Room 69, Zhengyangmen East Street, to open a honey product store. I wonder what procedures are required?"

Not long after, Li Guoqiang went directly to the Zhengyangmen Street Housing Management Office and asked a clerk sitting at the door.

"Please wait!"

The clerk carefully looked at the letter of introduction provided by Li Guoqiang, then gave some instructions and stood up and walked into the section chief's office.

Not long after, he came back again and greeted softly, "Comrade Li Guoqiang, our Section Chief Wu invites you in."

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and agreed, then followed the clerk into the section chief's office and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman who still had charm. He was stunned for a moment.

"Comrade Li Guoqiang, please take a seat!"

When Wu Cai'e saw the tall and handsome Li Guoqiang, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang's expression straightened, and then he hurried forward and sat down at the desk.

"Well, Xiao Liu, you go out first!"

Wu Cai'e turned her head to look at the clerk, waved her hand and gave an order, and then after the clerk went out and closed the door, she stood up from the chair, walked to Li Guoqiang, and pinched Li Guoqiang's little face.

Seeing her frivolous actions, Li Guoqiang's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little confused. He had no idea what tricks the other party was playing.
"Haha! I never expected that! The little guy who wore open-crotch pants has grown into a grown man now!"

"Um, Chief Wu, do you know me?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked with some confusion.

"More than knowing each other! When you were just born, I was the one who fed you!"

Wu Cai'e raised the corner of her mouth and then joked in a mischievous tone.

"Forehead"

Li Guoqiang glanced at the two large cafeterias and was stunned for a moment.

[Is this true? Why don't you have any impression of my predecessor? ]

"Where are you looking, you little rascal?"

Wu Cai'e noticed Li Guoqiang's gaze and immediately gave him a slap on the face, then glared at him angrily.

Li Guoqiang: “.”

"okay!"

Wu Cai'e was delighted when she saw Li Guoqiang's innocent look, then she waved her hand and said, "I won't tease you anymore. I'll tell you the truth! Actually, I'm a fellow opera singer with your mother.

Back then, when you were just born, your mother died of complications during childbirth, so your father asked me to take care of you for a while.

Later, because my husband's job was transferred, I followed him to Shanghai, and was only transferred back last week."

At this point, she looked at Li Guoqiang's face, which was 70% similar to her senior sister Chen Shuping's. She unconsciously reached out her hand and gently stroked Li Guoqiang's face, then spoke with a look of reminiscence:
"In the blink of an eye, your mother has been gone for almost 20 years. Until now, I still remember very clearly how she taught me to sing opera.
This is what makes life unpredictable. I don’t want to be reunited today.

Looking back at the prosperous life, it seems like a fleeting dream, and the remaining life is left to the raging waves.

Don't cry or laugh when the dark clouds turn bright, for you can be proud of the good deeds that have been done in your heart.

The wind and rain are raging outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, where is the sad voice breaking the loneliness?

As she was talking, Wu Cai'e suddenly clenched her orchid hands and started singing the opera "The Golden Neck Lock". Her melodious and moving tone immediately captivated people.

However, she soon stopped talking, shook her head and sighed, with a complicated look on her face, as if she was recalling some unpleasant past events.

"Aunt Wu, are you okay?"

When Li Guoqiang saw Wu Cai'e like this, he hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly to express his concern.

"fine!"

Wu Cai'e smiled slightly when she heard this, then shook her head and said, "I just suddenly remembered some old things."

Having said that, she turned around and sat back behind her desk, then spoke softly, "Yesterday I heard from your dad that you wanted to find a store on the street to sell honey, and I just bought one, so I told your dad about it.

If you think it's appropriate, I'll help you with the formalities."

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and said, "It's suitable. It's absolutely suitable. I believe in your vision."

"Ah!"

Wu Cai'e was amused when she saw Li Guoqiang's flattering behavior. Then she laughed and said, "I don't know how you developed this personality. You are nothing like your mother!"

After saying that, she took out a rental registration form from the drawer, placed it in front of Li Guoqiang, and asked him to fill in the information.

After Li Guoqiang filled out the form, she took the registration form and went out to help Li Guoqiang with the formalities herself. She also told others without hesitation that Li Guoqiang was her nephew.

Upon hearing the news, the people at the Housing Management Office immediately looked at Li Guoqiang with new eyes.

The reason is not only because Wu Cai'e is the head of the Housing Management Office, but also because Wu Cai'e's man is the newly appointed executive deputy mayor of Dongcheng District.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea that he had passively become the son of an official.

After successfully obtaining the house rental contract and the shop key, he stood in front of Wu Cai'e and said with gratitude: "Aunt Wu, thank you so much. Next time I have a chance, I will call a chef to prepare a table of delicious dishes and invite you to my home for dinner."

"Hey!"

Wu Cai'e raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then said unhappily, "Why are you being so polite to me? Don't you want to acknowledge me as your aunt?"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, then hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant! I just want to honor you!"

"That!"

When Wu Cai'e heard what Li Guoqiang said, she nodded without hesitation and said, "Then don't postpone it to another day. Let's do it tonight! I'll bring your uncle with me then, so you two can get to know each other."

"to make!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then nodded quickly and agreed: "Then I will wait for you and uncle at home tonight."

"okay!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was always polite, Wu Cai'e couldn't help but said in a bad mood: "Go check the store first! If there is anything that needs to be cleaned up, come and find me." "Okay!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang felt slightly relieved, then hurriedly agreed and turned away.

In fact, he was not unaware of Wu Cai'e's kindness towards him, but when he thought of Wu Cai'e's words about feeding him, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

It's like when you wet the bed as a child and someone brings it up to discuss it in person. It's a famous scene of social demise.

What's more, he is not his original self, so he really can't feel any admiration for Wu Cai'e, this charming and attractive beauty.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he could only choose to show a more polite attitude and keep a certain distance from Wu Cai'e.

Soon, he left the street office, returned to Zhengyangmen East Street, took out the key and opened the No. 69 store.

When he opened the door and walked in, he found that the store was not empty. There was a counter and several shelves.

However, the counters and shelves were covered with a layer of dust, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of them for some time.

According to Wu Cai'e, this shop was originally used to sell groceries. Later, it was blown down by the storm and the shop was taken over by the street. Finally, it came into his hands.

In addition to two shops with a total area of ​​more than 80 square meters, the store also has a small courtyard, a wing room, a small kitchen, and even a well in the back.

Apparently, the former shop owner lived here.

After seeing the layout of the store, Li Guoqiang's mood suddenly became very good, and he planned to buy this house if he had the chance in the future.

Afterwards, he took out some furniture that he had made in the past, as well as brooms, dustpans, rags, barrels and other utensils from his little world, and cleaned and decorated the house.

By the time we were almost done, it was already noon.

As he had to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to handle the registration later, he did not return to the courtyard, but took out some stock of rice from the storage space and had a quick bite.

Then, he saw that the time was almost up, and just as he was about to lock the shop and go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, he saw a middle-aged man who looked 70% similar to Sha Zhu's father He Daqing, riding a tricycle coming from the other end of the street.

In an instant, he thought of the identity of the person who came. It should be Cai Quanwu, the winner in life among the little women.

At first, he was just a wine driver for a tavern. However, because of his great wisdom and tolerance, he not only married the beautiful Xu Huizhen, but also had three beautiful daughters.

However, at that time, he was almost 50 years old, and his three daughters were only or years old. Moreover, due to the impact of the storm, he could only rely on his old job of transporting goods for others to make money to support his family. His life was very difficult.

Soon, a series of information flashed through Li Guoqiang's mind, and then he thought of Fan Jinyou as Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen's old enemy, so he waved to Cai Quanwu and shouted, "Uncle, can you help me?"

“Pull!”

Hearing the voice, Cai Quanwu glanced at Li Guoqiang, then looked at the shop behind Li Guoqiang. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly replied.

"to make!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then walked forward and said, "Then please take me to the East District Industrial and Commercial Bureau."

"Okay! Get in the car!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Quanwu immediately agreed very readily, then parked the car in front of Li Guoqiang. He also took out a towel from his arms and put it on the car frame.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt slightly happy in his heart. He didn't bother to be polite with Cai Quan. He just raised his feet, stepped into the car, and sat on the car frame.

"Let's go!"

When Cai Quanwu saw that Li Guoqiang was already seated, he immediately shouted and pedaled hard, riding towards the East District Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Even though he is almost 50 years old, he rides this tricycle so smoothly that it seems like he has no pressure at all to pull a big man weighing over pounds.

After a while, he saw that Li Guoqiang had not said anything. Thinking of what he had just seen, he endured it, but finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "Man, I see that you are not very old, where are you working?"

"Harmful!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then waved his hand and answered: "Actually, it's not a question of whether it's high or low. I just represent our production team and come back to the city to open a honey shop."

"Yo!"

When Cai Quanwu heard Li Guoqiang's answer, he was slightly surprised, and then he said in surprise: "My man, this is quite new. I have only heard of people going to the countryside, but I have never heard of anyone coming back from the countryside to open a store in the city!"

As he spoke, he saw that Li Guoqiang had no intention of responding, so he quickly asked, "Well, what do you mean by opening a store to sell honey? Aren't agricultural products like honey usually sold to purchasing stations?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Cai Quanwu's curious expression and was amused. He then laughed and explained, "Isn't this because I want to sell it at a high price in the city?"

"That's true!"

Cai Quanwu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, he just pedaled the tricycle silently without saying anything else.

Li Guoqiang did not try to get close to Cai Quanwu on purpose. After all, once he opened the store, he would definitely have many opportunities to interact with Cai Quanwu, so there was no need to rush.

What's more, the main reason he wanted to get to know Cai Quanwu was because he was attracted by the stone in the pickle jar in Xu Huizhen's home and the antique collection in the house.

If you can buy one or two pieces at the current price, you can make a lot of profit in the future.

As for dealing with Fan Jinyou, he had plenty of means to do so, and involving Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen was just a side job.

Not long after, Cai Quanwu rode the tricycle to the gate of the Dongcheng District Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Li Guoqiang got off the car, paid Cai Quanwu 10 cents for the fare, and then walked directly into the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Cai Quanwu looked at Li Guoqiang's back with a thoughtful look on his face. Then he waited until he was completely out of sight before he slowly rode away on his tricycle.

In a blink of an eye, Li Guoqiang forgot about Cai Quanwu and directly took the note written by Xu Guiqing and the shop lease contract to go through the shop registration procedures at the registration office.

Then, he first went to Xu Guiqing's office to thank him, and then, under Xu Guiqing's guidance, he went to the tax bureau and found a section chief in charge of tax assessment.

With Xu Guiqing's introduction and the three kilograms of honey he sent in the name of asking the leader to inspect the goods, the other party quickly helped to complete the tax registration procedures.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guoqiang took all the documents and went to the bank to open an account.

I ran around for the whole afternoon and finally completed all the store registration procedures.

Nowadays, all you have to do is bring the honey to the store, hang up the store sign, and you can open for business.
