After breakfast, Xia Ruofei said goodbye and left the Ling family.
After all, it was the first lunar month and they had to visit friends and relatives. At the same time, with Ling Xiaotian's current status, there would definitely be many friends, relatives, and apprentices coming to visit.
In addition, Xia Ruofei had not returned to the farm since New Year's Eve, and Feng Jing was still at the farm for the New Year, so it was reasonable for him to go back and visit.
Back at Taoyuan Farm, Xia Ruofei went to visit all the on-duty stations as usual and expressed his condolences to the employees who were working hard during the New Year.
He even went to the office upstairs and saw that Feng Jing was not in the office. Most importantly, Dong Yun was not working overtime either. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction.
Xia Ruofei took out his phone and called Feng Jing. He laughed and asked, "Manager Feng, where are you?"
"Chairman …" Feng Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm at Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory now!"
Xia Ruofei could not help but be stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why aren't you resting during the holidays? I saw that you were not in the office just now and wanted to call and praise you … "
"Consultant Dong wanted to investigate the pharmaceutical factory's situation. I have nothing to do anyway, so I came with her …" Feng Jing said.
Great! These two strong women had gotten together again …
"Chairman, what's the matter?" Feng Jing asked again.
"Nothing, nothing …" Xia Ruofei said, "But … you can just take a look. It's still the holidays now. If there's anything, wait until after the New Year!"
"Got it. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!" Feng Jing said with a smile. Obviously, she did not take Xia Ruofei's words to heart.
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and stopped trying to persuade them. Anyway, he knew that it was useless unless he went to the pharmaceutical factory and took them away by force. However, that would dampen their enthusiasm for work. Since they were enjoying it, he might as well ignore it.
After walking around for a while, Xia Ruofei decided to go back to the small villa and play with Lightning and Little Black in the courtyard. Bathing in the warm winter sunshine, they enjoyed this rare leisure time.
…
That evening, at Guta Street in the old district of the Three Mountains.
There were many food stalls here, and the narrow streets looked a little dirty and messy, but it was very popular.
Pang Hao strolled in from the corner of the street and arrived at the entrance of a food stall with ease. He looked around.
A skinny youth was sitting behind an oily table. Seeing the obvious target of Pang Hao, he immediately stood up and beckoned, "Little Fatty, over here!"
Pang Hao's small eyes immediately narrowed into slits. He quickly walked over, the fat on his body jiggling with each step, looking quite funny.
"Ping Zi, you're early!" Pang Hao sat down and lightly punched the shoulder of the skinny young man opposite him.
This person was Xia Ruofei and Pang Hao's classmate, Guan Ping.
Pang Hao had mentioned to Xia Ruofei that Guan Ping was unhappy recently. Xia Ruofei had asked Pang Hao to invite Guan Ping out for a chat. Pang Hao knew that Xia Ruofei intended to let Guan Ping work in the Taoyuan Company, so he actively contacted Guan Ping and made an appointment for today.
Guan Ping's eye bags were a little deep, and his face looked tired. It seemed that he had been working hard recently.
However, Guan Ping was still very happy to see his good friend from high school.
He smiled and said, "It's my treat today! As the host, naturally, I have to come early! "
"You brat …" Pang Hao smiled and continued, "That guy Ruo Fei should be here soon! I made an appointment with him at six o 'clock sharp. He's always been punctual. "
"It's not easy to find here, and it's not convenient to park nearby," Guan Ping said with a smile. "Let's chat while we wait."
"Nonsense! We ate skewers here every day when we were in high school. How could he not find it? "Pang Hao said." It's 5: 50 now. I bet he'll be here in ten minutes! "
As the two were talking, they heard a voice behind them. "Fatty! Are you talking bad about me behind my back? "
Pang Hao turned around. Wasn't it Xia Ruofei? Speak of the devil.
Beside Xia Ruofei was a young man with a cold expression. It was Ye Linyun.
Xia Ruofei had specially brought Ye Linyun along. Firstly, it was to let him get closer to Pang Hao and Guan Ping. They were all his good friends. Secondly, it was to let Ye Linyun be his driver.
He definitely had to drink today. Although he could use his True Qi to force the alcohol out of his body, it wasn't easy to explain. If he insisted on driving after drinking, it would inevitably be a bad example.
Pang Hao quickly put on a flattering look and said exaggeratedly, "Great Boss Xia, I wouldn't dare to talk bad about you! I was just telling Ping Zi that you've always been punctual! "
Xia Ruofei glanced at Pang Hao, speechless. Then, he looked at Guan Ping and said with a smile, "Ping Zi, it's been a long time since we got together!"
"Ruofei, you're here!" Guan Ping stood up and said with a smile, "Come and sit down! Who is this brother? "
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Ye Linyun, my comrade from the old army!" Xia Ruofei said, "He's now in charge of my company's security! Linyun, this is Guan Ping, one of my best friends in high school! "
"Hello, Mr. Guan!" Ye Linyun bowed slightly and said.
Guan Ping quickly said, "Brother, you don't have to be so polite! We're all Ruofei's brothers. You can call me by my name or Ping Zi! "
"Alright, alright, everyone sit down!" Xia Ruofei said. "Xiao Pang, don't stand there. Even if you stand, you won't be able to show your height!"
Pang Hao said gloomily, "Don't expose me!"
Everyone sat around the small square table. The stools were ordinary plastic stools, and the table was the cheapest folding table. It was shiny with oil.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't mind at all and sat down.
When Guan Ping saw this, he felt a sense of relief. It seemed that this brother of his didn't develop those bad habits just because he was rich. At least in front of him, he was still the good brother who used to eat skewers and play games together.
"Ruofei, my financial ability is limited, so I can only treat you to a food stall. I hope you don't mind!" Guan Ping said with a smile.
"If you say such things again, I'll beat you up!" Xia Ruofei grabbed a handful of boiled peanuts and said as he peeled them, "Did you forget that the three of us used to drink a bottle of beer?"
Their high school was nearby. When they were in school, they used to go to Guta Street to eat barbecue. Sometimes, after self-study at night, they would meet up to eat skewers together.
In fact, when they were students, they almost didn't drink. However, when they were teenagers, they always felt that drinking was a cool thing. So, although they were a little short of money, they would sometimes order a bottle of beer and share it with the three of them.
When Xia Ruofei talked about the past, Pang Hao and Guan Ping showed a trace of reminiscence.
"Haha! You haven't been here for a long time, right? " Guan Ping said with a smile, "My house is not far from here. Sometimes, after work, I would come here to eat something. Let me tell you, the barbecue here is still the same as before!"
"Really? Then I'll have to eat a few more skewers later! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile," By the way, have you ordered? "
"I've already ordered!" Guan Ping said, "Don't worry, I've ordered a lot of mutton and beef tendon that you like!"
"You know me well, Ping!" Xia Ruofei laughed.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the boss had already served the barbecue skewers. Soon, the small square table was full.
Then, they ordered another case of beer.
Although it was winter, eating skewers was only fun when drinking beer.
Except for Ye Linyun, who had to drive, Xia Ruofei and the other two poured beer.
After the three of them drank a large glass of beer together, Xia Ruofei wiped his mouth and said with a laugh, "Great!"
Then, he reached out and picked up a skewer of beef tendon and began to eat heartily.
To be honest, the ingredients used for the beef tendon were ordinary, and the heat didn't seem to be very good. It definitely couldn't be compared with the exquisite delicacies of the big hotels. However, even though Xia Ruofei was used to eating Taoyuan vegetables, he still felt that it was very delicious.
It was the same taste that he had eaten in high school!
The four of them chatted while eating, and the topic unconsciously turned to Guan Ping's work.
After Xia Ruofei and Guan Ping had a drink alone, he asked faintly, "Ping, I heard from Fatty that he hasn't been very happy recently?"
Guan Ping's smile became a little bitter, and he said, "Fatty is still the same as before. He doesn't keep his mouth shut at all!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Xia Ruofei pretended to be angry, "So I'm not your brother? You're treating me differently from Fatty? Are you out of your mind? "
Pang Hao laughed at the side, ignoring the quarrel between the two of them. He just lowered his head and ate.
Ye Linyun naturally wouldn't interrupt, and he also ate the skewers in his hand very seriously.
Guan Ping smiled bitterly, "Ruofei, I didn't mean it that way. Aren't you usually very busy? It's just a small matter … "
"I'm the boss of the company. How busy can I be?" Xia Ruofei said, "Fatty works longer than me every day. Ping, these aren't excuses! You're treating me like an outsider! "
"Fine! I was wrong! "Guan Ping said," I'll punish myself with a drink! "
After that, Guan Ping poured the wine, raised his head, and drank it. He then wiped his mouth and said, "Ruofei, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that I wasn't very happy at that time, so I poured out some bitterness when I drank with Fatty …"
"What's going on?" Xia Ruofei looked at Guan Ping and asked.
"Yeah! What's going on? "Pang Hao also asked," The last time I asked you, you wouldn't tell me … "
Guan Ping wanted to say something but stopped. Ye Linyun immediately stood up and said, "Brother Xia, Brother Guan, I'm going to the washroom!"
"Linyun, it's okay!" Guan Ping said quickly, "I'm not trying to avoid you … Don't misunderstand!"
Ye Linyun smiled and said, "Brother Guan, I really need to go to the washroom …"
Xia Ruofei could also see that Guan Ping seemed to have something that he couldn't say, so he said to Ye Linyun, "Linyun, you go! Oh right, this food stall doesn't have a washroom. You have to go to the McDonald's across the street! "
Guan Ping couldn't help but laugh, "Not bad! I haven't been here for a few years, so I'm quite familiar with the place! "
"This old street hasn't changed for so many years. Once you enter Guta Street, it's like a few years back!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ye Linyun nodded and walked out of the food stall.
"Tell me!" Xia Ruofei stopped smiling and looked at Guan Ping. "What's going on?"
Guan Ping sighed and said, "It's a bit melodramatic. I'll tell you, don't laugh!"
"I say, when did you become so wishy-washy?" Pang Hao couldn't help but say, "I'm so worried!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Guan Ping said quickly, "Actually, a new supervisor came to our store last autumn. She's a woman. She … she's interested in me …"
Pang Hao and Xia Ruofei were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This was a food stall, so everyone was talking loudly and drinking and chatting. So, the two's exaggerated behavior didn't attract any attention.
Guan Ping said gloomily, "I told you! The two of you … "
Xia Ruofei held back his laughter and said, "I'm sorry, Ping. I couldn't help it just now …"
Pang Hao also said, "I didn't expect that you're not as strong as me, and not as handsome as Ruofei, but your luck with women is pretty good! But isn't this a good thing? Why are you gloomy? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's not necessarily a good thing! Fatty, have you forgotten about Zhao Xueqing? "
Zhao Xueqing was the domestic agent entrusted by the landlord of the overseas villa when Xia Ruofei bought the villa. At that time, Guan Ping was in charge of the miscellaneous matters of the transfer of ownership of the villa, so he had a good impression of Zhao Xueqing.
Guan Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Ruofei, what does this have to do with anything!"
"You've broken off contact with Zhao Xueqing?" Xia Ruofei asked, "That can't be, right? I saw that you were very determined at that time! "
"I'm still in contact with Xueqing!" Guan Ping said.
"You even called Xueqing! Seems like you're making good progress! "Pang Hao said with a smile.
"How long has it been? If there isn't any progress, Ping might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Guan Ping looked helplessly at his two bad friends and said, "This isn't the main point, okay? Do the two of you want to hear it or not? I think your concern for me is fake, but you're gloating over my misfortune! "
Xia Ruofei and Pang Hao quickly held back their laughter and said at the same time, "We want to hear it! We want to hear it! "
Xia Ruofei asked, "Then what's the main point? Even if you're not interested in her, it's not a bad thing to have someone like her! Do you have to be so haggard because of this? "
Guan Ping smiled bitterly and said, "The main point is! This female manager is a married woman! "
