Chapter 1325 Fatty Cui, Father Xu wants money

"Boss Su, have some tea..."

A soft voice woke Su Mingzhe who was deep in thought with his eyes closed.

"let it go."

Su Mingzhe looked up and saw that it was Xu Banxia's assistant Wang Xiaoya.

Wang Xiaoya is a technical secondary school student from a county under Binhai City. She has an ordinary appearance, but a plump figure and a sweet voice.

If this girl were to wear a maid outfit and a mask on her face, she would definitely charm everyone.

What a pity, her face was too ordinary. Su Mingzhe took one look at her and didn't want to take a second look.

After Wang Xiaoya put down the tea, she did not dare to stay any longer. Before she left, Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered something and called the girl:
"Xiao Wang, when I entered the company just now, I found that the goods in the yard were almost full. What's going on?"

When Wang Xiaoya heard about this, he quickly explained:

"Boss, aren't we in a fight with the main station? Mr. Cui there teamed up with other stations to refuse to accept our goods. Now we have to find someone to ship the goods outside before we can sell them."

"Well, I see."

When Su Mingzhe heard that it was the fat guy Cui who was causing trouble again, he waved his hand and asked Wang Xiaoya to go out.

More than an hour later, near noon, Xu Banxia and his companions returned happily.

Because the foreign trade company was newly opened, it originally needed to pay nearly 600,000 yuan in taxes. However, according to regulations, it was exempted by more than 200,000 yuan, and only needed to pay more than 300,000 yuan.

This is equivalent to earning more than 200,000 yuan for nothing.

No wonder Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou were so happy.

Although Su Mingzhe didn't want to disturb the excitement of the few people, he had to ask:

"Banxia, ​​how are things going with Fatty Cui?"

Hearing the man's question, Xu Banxia's expression changed slightly, and then he pretended to be calm and said as if nothing had happened:
"It's still being dragged on as you said before."

Chen Yuzhou glanced at Xu Banxia, ​​was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Brother Su, the warehouse managers of the six steel mills are getting more and more greedy. We won't make any profit if we continue to purchase their scrap. It's just a gimmick. Fatty Cui's profit margin is a little bigger than ours, but it should be very thin... It may not even be enough to pay for the gas... After New Year's Day, Fatty Cui came to our yard, saying that he wanted to negotiate, but in fact he wanted to force us to submit to him. After Banxia and I disagreed, Fatty Cui joined forces with other scrap yards and refused to accept our goods!"

"Keep increasing the stakes, not only in the six steel mills, but also in other places. Remember, we are not trying to steal his business, but to wear him down! As long as we kill Fatty Cui, in the future in Binhai City, if others want to deal with our Shenhua Company again, they should think twice whether it is worth it!"

Su Mingzhe's murderous words made Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou a little unbearable, but they didn't say anything.

Firstly, Su Mingzhe had worked hard and found a new path for the company. Secondly, Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou were still business rookies and had no idea how to run a business.

Therefore, no matter what Su Mingzhe said, neither of them objected.

Seeing that the company's future strategy had been decided, Chen Yuzhou immediately suggested finding a restaurant in the evening to welcome Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe naturally had no objection to this, and then he hugged the woman and went home.

Su Mingzhe missed home a lot after not going home for two months.

I not only miss home, but also miss the bed and the person in the bed.

At six o'clock in the evening.

Xu Banxia's last pair of stockings also had a hole in it.

Seeing the man continue tirelessly, Xu Banxia was really frightened and couldn't help but beg for mercy:

"Honey, we still have to go out for dinner tonight."

"This is the last time."

Su Mingzhe kept his word and finally let Xu Banxia go before seven o'clock.

Before 8pm.

Xu Banxia felt limp all over, and the man held her slender waist and walked into the restaurant box.

Xu Qianqian, who looked somewhat similar to Liu Meilan, was still a little kid of five or six years old. When she saw Xu Banxia coming in, she immediately rushed over excitedly:
"Sister, brother-in-law, you are finally here!"

"Sorry, I'm late!"

After the Chinese New Year, Xu Banxia was only 22 years old, and her face was far from as thick as in the TV series. Facing her sister's "questioning", she was too shy to say anything. Su Mingzhe was thick-skinned, and calmly greeted his father-in-law Xu Youren and Liu Meilan.

Originally, this welcoming banquet tonight was considered a company dinner.

However, in the afternoon, Xu Youren brought his wife and children to the company to find Xu Banxia.

Chen Yuzhou just invited them casually, but who would have thought that the couple would agree so shamelessly.

Fortunately, the box is quite large, and it is spacious even if there are more than a dozen people sitting in it.

After Su Mingzhe sat down, he asked Chen Yuzhou next to him:

"Did you order?"

"It's past the point!"

As Chen Yuzhou spoke, he asked the waiter to serve the food and brought out the menu, asking Su Mingzhe and Xu Banxia to order a few more dishes.

The two people who were not short of money waved their hands and ordered a few more delicious dishes.

This Chaoyang restaurant specializes in Sichuan and Shandong cuisine, and the flavors are more suitable for the general public.

As the dishes were served, Chen Yuzhou took the initiative to give a toast.

It is said that tonight is a welcome dinner for Su Mingzhe, but in fact it is already the end of the year, and this can be regarded as the New Year's Eve dinner for the company's management.

After this meal, it’s time to finish the work in the company.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone started toasting each other.

As Xu Banxia's biological father, Xu Youren was toasted by several people in the company and flattered by all kinds of words. He felt so proud that he didn't even know where he was.

It was only when Liu Meilan stretched out her slender jade fingers and pinched her man hard under the table that Xu Youren finally reacted:

"Ahem, Banxia, ​​um, your sister Qianqian will be going to primary school after the New Year..."

When Xu Banxia heard that it was about her sister, she couldn't help but smile:
"Dad, are you ready to send Qianqian to which elementary school?"

"Your aunt Meilan originally wanted to send your sister to a bilingual school, but..."

As Xu Youren spoke, he smiled dryly, his eyes full of the embarrassment of a middle-aged man:

"Your aunt Meilan and I went to ask around. We found out that the bilingual school has very high requirements for students. If you want to get in, you have to take an entrance exam. In addition to the normal Chinese and math, the exam also includes foreign languages ​​and talent shows... Your aunt Meilan and I wanted to sign Qianqian up for some interest classes..."

Xu Banxia understood the meaning of Xu Youren's words, and the smile on his face faded slightly, but he still said in a gentle voice:

"How much is it?"

Seeing that his daughter was willing to pay, Xu Youren quickly counted on his fingers:
"A children's English tutoring class costs 500 per month. There are still five months before the exam, so that's 2,500. There are also interest classes. Your aunt Meilan and I want to enroll your sister in this music class. The five-month tutoring fee plus the musical instruments will cost almost 5,000..."

"Okay, Dad, I'll send the money to you tomorrow!"

This was not the first time Xu Youren asked Xu Banxia for money.

Ever since Xu Banxia graduated from high school, he and Chen Yuzhou have contracted the scrap yard. Every month, Xu Banxia would take out most of the dividends to subsidize Xu Youren's family of three.

Liu Meilan, the stepmother, was not only ungrateful for Xu Banxia's financial support, but also jokingly called Xu Banxia "Sister Kuan".

Unlike Liu Meilan who sucked blood from Xu Banxia, ​​the father and daughter Xu Youren and Xu Qianqian had some knowledge of propriety and honor.

In the TV series, Xu Banxia asked Xu Youren to borrow 500,000 yuan, but Xu Youren could only come up with 300,000 yuan. He also asked Xu Banxia to use the title deed of the house where he and Liu Meilan lived as collateral.

While watching TV, I felt that Xu Youren was cold and ruthless towards his daughter Xu Banxia.

Later, I checked the housing prices in Jiangnan Province in 1996. The prices in the prosperous areas of the provincial capital, Lucheng (Lin'an and Yuhang), were only around two to three thousand.

The price of new properties in Binhai City (Ningbo) is lower than that in Lin'an and Yuhang, at around 1,500 yuan.

The Xu family’s house is old, dilapidated and small, costing one thousand yuan per square meter, which is basically the maximum they can afford.

The area of ​​the Xu family's house is calculated according to the size of a large house of that era, which is about 100 square meters. The value of the entire house would not exceed 100,000 yuan.

Xu Youren took out 300,000 yuan and only let Xu Banxia use a house worth no more than 100,000 yuan as collateral. This was enough to prove that he still had some father-daughter feelings for Xu Banxia.
