Chapter 961 Fishing(1/3)
Ning Weimin was familiar with Song Huagui's family, but he had never met Zou Guodong's wife and children.
In addition, he passed too much of the work burden onto Zou Guodong, and because of an unintentional mistake a year ago, Zou Guodong was in a hurry, and he was really tired.
So since he had the opportunity to meet this time, he expressed his gratitude to Zou Guodong's wife with great solemnity.
He also apologized for causing Zou Guodong to be busy some time ago.
It turned out that Zou Guodong's wife was indeed as described by Zou Guodong when he was in Tokyo, a very gentle and virtuous woman.
He is shy and kind to others, respectful and generous in his attitude.
He didn't have the slightest intention to blame Ning Weimin, but instead thanked him for leaving the American Jeep to Zou Guodong before going abroad.
Although Zou Guodong's wife has a mediocre job, she is just an ordinary clerk in a government agency.
But her job is comfortable and she can have a lot of time to take care of her family.
This allows Zou Guodong to have almost no worries and can concentrate on his career.
Their son Mingming is also very smart and handsome.
Perhaps he has followed his mother's temperament. This five-year-old boy is so well-behaved in front of outsiders that he almost looks like a girl.
In short, when Ning Weimin saw the mother and son, he couldn't help but secretly praise Zou Guodong for being so lucky to have a perfect family of three.
So in order to celebrate the first meeting with each other, and also to get closer to Zou Guodong.
On the spot, Ning Weimin took out a red envelope filled with 200 yuan in foreign exchange coupons and gave it to Zou Guodong's son as money for blackmail.
There is also a butterfly silver brooch inlaid with sapphires, which was given to Zou Guodong's wife.
Frankly speaking, that piece of jewelry was purely a last-minute idea for Ning Weimin, and it didn't really cost anything.
Because what he gave away was one of the gifts given by many branches of Yamato Tourism.
These items are not international famous brands, they are jewelry and accessories from local Japanese brands.
It is almost equivalent to the Lao Feng Xiang, Luk Fook Jewelry and the like in our country a few decades later.
In terms of value, it is between 50,000 yen and 100,000 yen, so it can only be regarded as a light luxury item.
Thinking back to the beginning, when Ning Weimin received such a gift from Yamato Tourism, he felt it was somewhat burdensome.
He thinks these things are a bit flashy, neither good nor bad, and are more suitable for white-collar workers in the company to please their girlfriends.
If he were to give it to someone really important, such as Matsumoto Keiko, or some big shot, he would be a bit helpless.
In fact, if I hadn’t received the chocolates from Matsumoto Keiko expressing her feelings in the first two days, I would have been completely unprepared.
He would not seek medical treatment in a hurry and use such things to trick people.
But having said that, it would be a pity if these useless things were given to others casually, or sent to the pledge house for a few dollars.
But the other party still likes to give them away. He really has a lot of them in his hands, at least a dozen of them.
After thinking about it, I felt that I could only take it back home as a gift.
The people in the country have insufficient economic conditions and knowledge, so they should not be picky, but would be curious about foreign products.
Fortunately, it does not take up space and is easy to carry.
So after returning to China, whenever he went out to visit, he would carry one or two items with him in case of emergency.
Frankly speaking, he had prepared it when he went to Director Huo's house yesterday.
But seeing Director Huo's cool demeanor and Huang Jinghua's warm-hearted and distant demeanor, there was no need to do anything more.
As for today, it would be perfect to put it in a situation like this.
As expected, Zou Guodong's wife was stunned for a moment.
As for the bunch of colorful foreign exchange coupons he gave him, Zou Guodong also earned a lot every month. Even if half of his salary was made up of foreign exchange coupons, it would still be 2,000 yuan.
But the shiny and exquisite Japanese jewelry dazzled Zou Guodong's wife.
What should I give in return?
There are too few such things in China.
Not to mention being disgusted, I actually felt that the gift was too valuable and I was frightened and did not dare to accept it.
She insisted on resigning for a long time, until Zou Guodong and Song Huagui persuaded her not to think too much and just accept it.
She was embarrassed to thank Ning Weimin.
Of course, after accepting it, the sunflower-like smile on her face proved her love for this thing.
In fact, let alone her, what about Liu Xiaoqin, a big star and the "big cat" with the number one acupuncture point in China?
His eyes were straightened when he saw it, and he felt envious.
Although the words he said were very nice, they were all about saving face for Ning Weimin and making others happy.
But a certain loneliness and frustration cannot be concealed.
Of course, according to the actual situation, it is not that Liu Xiaoqin cannot afford it.
She is no better now than before, and she really makes a lot of money by organizing and visiting acupoints.
What's more, he was the matchmaker for Zheng Mingming and brought Monita into cooperation with Pierre Cardon Company, and he received a benefit fee of 50,000 yuan in one fell swoop.
But the key is that domestic materials are too expensive and scarce. There are not many good-style jewelry, and there is nowhere to buy them.
Moreover, she is someone who has been to Japan on a business trip and suffered a lot because of her shabby clothes.
I am particularly concerned about this kind of jewelry that can enhance my appearance.
So Ning Weimin took it into consideration and took the initiative to say something again.
"Da Mao'er, I didn't expect to see you here today. I also brought you a piece of jewelry from Japan, which you will definitely need when you go on stage. But I'm sorry for today. Let's make an appointment for another day later, I
Give you something."
With this sentence, Liu Xiaoqin immediately beamed with joy and regarded Ning Weimin as his biological brother.
He quickly stood up, walked over to him, and put his elbow on his shoulder in a familiar manner.
She said affectionately while lighting a cigarette for him.
"Hey, my good brother, you are still thinking of me. Okay, I won't say anything else. If it's convenient for you, you can just find a day from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to before the Lantern Festival. Our Temple of Heaven
See you there. Anyway, I'll be here almost every day these days, helping you keep an eye on the garden party performances. But as you said, I'm not as rich as you, so I won't give you a poor return gift, so don't laugh at me."
What I didn’t say, this sentence alone is enough to show the difference between people’s levels.
Why do rich people always have both sides and everyone admires them?
Sometimes it's not really the result of having a lot of money or a strong foundation, but rather the fact that the resources are different from ordinary people.
Otherwise, just for giving and returning gifts, I would really be worried for a while.
Whether you are willing to spend money or not is not the second priority. The key is to find the right gift, which is a lot of trouble.
You have to spend time and choose carefully, but no matter how hard you break your legs, no one will know.
Just like now, this kind of thing is a bit difficult for Liu Xiaoqin.
But for Ning Weimin, it was not easy at all. It was just an object borrowed from flowers to offer to Buddha.
It was easy to make this big star happy and moved.
Of course, Liu Xiaoqin's words were also a disguised reminder, which made Ning Weimin immediately think of the garden party in the Temple of Heaven Park.
He was interested in asking about the celebrity lineup for the Temple of Heaven Garden Party, and couldn't help but joke.
"Hey, why are you starting from the fifth day of the lunar new year? Are you trying to be lazy? I asked you why you came here to hide from leisure. Are you going to be on the stage yourself this year? How did you arrange the candidates for us? Hey, if you have intentions
The lake lane makes my garden party this year more deserted than last year. Then the gifts in the future will be gone."
Liu Xiaoqin quickly pretended to beg for mercy.
"Oh, please don't embarrass me. I can't hold it any longer this year. I really want to take a two-day break. This little Jiang and I will join the team soon to shoot "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin. But don't worry
, the celebrities invited to you this year are all worthy. Like Xiao Lin, Li Guosheng, Feng Gong, Liu Wei who performed in the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Dawei, Zheng Xulan who sang, and last year’s Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi. How about, that’s okay..."
Originally thinking that Ning Weimin would be satisfied, Liu Xiaoqin's face showed a look of displeasure.
But Ning Weimin refused to comment and seemed a little unsatisfied when asking.
"What about our sketch star? Will Pez be willing to advertise for my barbecue stalls?"
Liu Xiaoqin was really in a dilemma now.
"Oh. It's not like you don't know about his various tempers, his self-righteousness, and his regard for money as dirt. Unless you tell him yourself, you might be able to manipulate him."
However, she added another sentence.
"Hey, but Lao Mao'er is willing to come."
Ning Weimin thought about it and realized that it would be okay.
Anyway, if you can enjoy the traffic bonus, you won’t have to worry about it.
"Well, that's okay. It's almost the same with Zhu Shimao..."
