Chapter 2094 Reunion of Old Friends
Ma Zheng's home is located between the guard and the airport. There was originally a row of one-story houses built here, which were later used as the staff dormitory for those couples who were both on the island.
Whether it is going to the guard or to the airport weather station, it is not too far.
Of course, Taoyuan Island itself is not very big, even if it is from the easternmost end to the westernmost end, the distance is very close compared to the commuting distance of several kilometers, tens of kilometers or even dozens of kilometers in big cities.
Xia Ruofei drove an off-road vehicle from Yanhuang Building, and arrived at the one-story dormitory where Ma Zheng and his wife lived in a few minutes.
He was holding two bottles of old wine drunken eight immortals in one hand, and a food bag in the other hand, which contained a whole smoked goose.
This is the second time he saw a specialty store of authentic Wuyi Mountain Langu smoked goose on the streets of Sanshan two or three years ago, and he bought a dozen of them in one go. Since it is stored in the Lingtu space, the smoked goose is still in almost the same state as it was just bought, and even because it has been placed in an environment rich in aura for a long time, the taste is better than before, and for ordinary people, this This kind of food soaked in rich spiritual energy must be very beneficial to the body.
When Xia Ruofei was young, his grandfather once took him to eat Langu's special smoked goose in a small restaurant on the street. Since then, Xia Ruofei has fallen in love with this unique taste, and he especially likes the one with the most spicy taste. The last time he bought it That batch of smoked goose was all the spiciest kind.
However, Xia Ruofei remembered that Ma Zheng and his wife could both eat spicy food, so he felt that this smoked goose should suit their taste.
Seeing Xia Ruofei, Ma Zheng and his wife welcomed him in very warmly.
"Old company commander, sister-in-law, add another dish!" Xia Ruofei smiled and handed the smoked goose to Ma Zheng's lover Lin Yue, "The smoked goose from Wuyi Mountain was transported by air through the cold chain. I took it out of the refrigerator in the morning. Get ready for lunch!"
"Then I'll take it and cut everything!" Lin Yue was not polite to Xia Ruofei, and said with a smile, "You two brothers talk first, and I'll cook two more dishes. You can have a drink first!"
"Okay! Thank you sister-in-law!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ma Zheng and Xia Ruofei came to the dining table and sat down, Xia Ruofei put two bottles of old wine drunken Eight Immortals on the table, said with a smile: "Old company commander, there is nothing to do today, we have a bottle for each of us, don't cheat anyone! "
Ma Zheng has a good capacity for drinking, and a catty of baijiu is not enough to get drunk, but he still hesitated and said: "Ruofei, these two days will be very busy, and I want to go to the guard to talk to some brothers in the afternoon. Let's talk!"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said: "It's not that urgent! You have a good rest in the afternoon after drinking,
The big things will wait until tomorrow! "
"This..." Ma Zheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine!"
After all, he hasn't drank with Xia Ruofei for a long time, and with his drinking capacity, even if he drinks a catty, he won't be unconscious. He can also handle some business affairs by staying at home.
The two opened the wine bottles and did not pour wine for each other, so they took care of themselves.
After the wine glass was full, Xia Ruofei picked up the glass and said, "Old company commander, let me toast you first! Thanks to your help in the past few years, this Taoyuan Island has been as solid as gold!"
"Your words make me feel very embarrassed!" Ma Zheng said with a wry smile, "Except for a few pirates appearing in the first year, and they were still far away from Taoyuan Island, they were scared away after firing a few shots. Everything is calm, and the annual salary of the guards is several million dollars, and I feel that I have received nothing for nothing!"
At this time, Lin Yue brought up the sliced smoked goose, and said with a smile: "Ruofei, you guys drink first, and I'll cook two more dishes!"
"Sister-in-law, there are already a lot of dishes, so don't be too busy! Let's sit down and eat something together!" Xia Ruofei said.
"It's okay, soon! Let's talk first!" Lin Yue said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei felt that Lin Yue's mood should be pretty good, she must know about the evacuation of Taoyuan Island staff now, it seems that Ma Zheng should have discussed it with her.
After Lin Yue returned to the kitchen, Xia Ruofei asked, "Old company commander, have you told your sister-in-law?"
Ma Zheng nodded and said, "I told her yesterday!"
"How does sister-in-law think?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Ma Zheng smiled and said: "She thinks leaving Taoyuan Island is also a good choice. It is far away from the bustling here, and it is indeed a bit lonely after a long time. Moreover, her parents are still in their hometown, and they can only communicate with each other by phone or the Internet. Getting old every day, as a child, you can't be filial in front of your body, and it is indeed a very helpless thing..."
External communications on Taoyuan Island are all done through satellites, so whether it is telephone or Internet, the charges are relatively high. Although Ma Zheng and the others have a good salary, it is impossible to use the Internet openly, so contact with family It is indeed a problem.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "So you two agree? Do you want to go back to China to work or go to Australia?"
Ma Zheng said: "After careful consideration, we should go back to China for development! Although Sanshan is not our hometown, it is in China after all, and it is much more convenient to contact! Moreover, our income has been very high in recent years, and we bought a large house in Sanshan with a mortgage. The house should be fine, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be taken over by then, and if we have another child in a year or two, then life will be perfect!"
Xia Ruofei said without hesitation: "No problem! If the old company commander is willing to return to China for development, I can make the decision to let you serve as the vice president of the company's security department. The salary plus bonuses and dividends will not be worse than working here! Sister-in-law If you want to join Taoyuan Company, you may have to give up on the professional aspect. After all, our company does not need meteorological professionals... If she still wants to work at the Meteorological Observatory, I can also help you get in touch, whether it is the Southeast Provincial Meteorological Observatory. , or Sanshan Meteorological Observatory, it should be fine!"
A touch of emotion appeared in Ma Zheng's eyes, and he said, "Ruofei, thank you for your sister-in-law's work! She still wants to do her professional work, and it would be best if she could work at the Provincial Meteorological Observatory. It doesn't matter, as long as the job is relatively stable... As for me... the position of vice president is too high, I can't afford it, you can arrange a supervisor or deputy director of the group, it's fine, mainly because there are some brothers They will also go to Sanshan to work together, and it will be more convenient for me to continue to take them to serve the company, otherwise I don’t need a job!"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said: "Old company commander, don't be humble! Can I still not know your ability? Let alone the vice president, even if the entire security department is entrusted to you, there is no problem! But The company's security department was established a few years ago, and I can't directly replace the person in charge of the security department, but it's okay to add a vice president of the security department. As you said, you will mainly be responsible for leading the security department. Brothers from the past of our guard!"
"That's fine..." Ma Zheng was not too pretentious, nodded and said, "Thanks, Ruofei!"
Xia Ruofei quickly said: "Old company commander, don't be so polite to me! Speaking of it... If you both return to work in China, your family income will definitely be less than here. You are no problem in the position of vice president , the salary is only a lot higher than here, but if my sister-in-law goes to the Provincial Meteorological Station, you will know the salary of the public institution... I am also responsible for this matter."
Lin Yue's salary here is also 30,000 to 40,000 U.S. dollars a month. If she goes back to work in Sanshan, it is estimated to be only 4,000 to 5,000 U.S. dollars at most, and it is Huaxia currency.
The treatment of public institutions is like this, and the weather station does not have much benefit. It is basically Qingshui Yamen. It is certainly impossible to get such a high salary as Taoyuan Island.
Ma Zheng smiled and said: "What does this have to do with you? What responsibility do you have? It was chosen by me and your sister-in-law! Besides, our annual salary has been around one million dollars in the past few years, and there is nothing to spend here. If you go back, you will be a multi-millionaire, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Xia Ruofei went on to say: "Old company commander, let's do this! I won't talk about subsidizing my sister-in-law's income anymore, and you definitely can't accept it! Let's go! You go to Sanshan to settle down, and I will take care of the house. I will give you a set." Daping floor near the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, so you don’t need to use your savings to buy a house, and the economy will be much easier!”
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ma Zheng became anxious when he heard that, "Can I take your house? I've said it all, it's our own choice, and it has nothing to do with you! Can you buy your sister-in-law's house?" If you arrange to enter the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, it is our comradeship. If you give me a big house, what will it be? Ruofei, if you really think that I am your old company commander, don’t do this again. mentioned!"
At this time, Lin Yue came over with two plates of dishes, glared at the horse with some reproach, and said, "What are you doing? I can hear your anxious voice in the kitchen, so you can't talk properly? If Fei is so I haven't been here for a long time, and you give him a face when you come to the door, do you treat him like a big brother?"
Ma Zheng was a little afraid of guilt, but today he stuck his neck and said: "Didn't you hear the nonsense he said just now! He said that we should go back to Sanshan to settle down, and he gave us a house as a subsidy for your declining income. ..."
When Lin Yue heard it, she couldn't help but said to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, it's your fault, your old company commander was right in criticizing! Friendship points are friendship points, but you can't just give the house away! So We absolutely cannot accept valuable things!"
Ma Zheng also said: "Yes! Thanks to you, we now have some assets and can afford a house. What's the matter with you giving us a house?"
Seeing the two couples singing together, Xia Ruofei could only say weakly: "I...Isn't it because my sister-in-law would earn much less if she really went to work at the Provincial Meteorological Observatory?"
"Provincial meteorological station?" Lin Yue couldn't help but her eyes lit up.
Ma Zheng said, "I'll talk about the meteorological station later, but now let's talk about the house!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The house must not be accepted!" Lin Yue said firmly.
"Aren't you planning to have a child? Can't you just treat it as a birth gift for my eldest nephew?" Xia Ruofei said, "You also know that I am not short of money at all, and a house is nothing to me!"
"How can you use a house as a birth gift?" Ma Zheng said with a wry smile, "If you are serious, when our child is born in the future, you will give us a pair of gold bracelets or something, and we will accept it without saying a word. It’s because you are rich and powerful, and if you use a little more gold, we will not discredit you, but the house is definitely not good. You don’t know how expensive the housing prices in Sanshan are. A large flat must be at least several million! You Think I can have it?"
"Okay! Then I take back what I just said!" Xia Ruofei said helplessly.
He respects Ma Zheng, the old company commander, from the bottom of his heart, and he also feels that money is meaningless to him. To him, buying a house worth tens of millions is nothing to him. But now that I think about it, I'm a bit too subjective. For Ma Zheng and his wife, this feels like giving alms, and they definitely won't accept it.
If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. Anyway, if you want to repay the old company commander, there are many ways to give their future children a jade pendant or something. This jade pendant must be made by him himself. It is no problem to keep the child safe for life. , Isn't this more precious than a house?
After figuring it out, Xia Ruofei no longer struggled.
"That's right!" Ma Zheng said with satisfaction, "Correct when you know a mistake, that's a good comrade!"
Lin Yue also sat down, and asked eagerly, "You just said the provincial meteorological station, what's the situation?"
Ma Zheng smiled and said, "Ruofei said just now that if you are willing to accompany me to Sanshan to work and settle down, he will be in charge of coordinating the work with the Provincial Meteorological Observatory...Of course, if you want to go to the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, there is no problem!"
"Ruofei, really?" Lin Yue asked in surprise and joy.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile, and said: "It should not be a big problem to coordinate this matter in Sanshan. As long as my sister-in-law is willing, she can go to work at any time!"
Now Song Qiming is the boss of the entire southeast province. The establishment of a public institution is not a problem for him at all. Xia Ruofei only needs to say a word, and he can handle it on the same day.
"Thank you so much!" Lin Yue said happily, and then she took Ma Zheng's wine bottle and poured herself a glass of wine, and said, "Come on! Sister-in-law toasts you too, to express my gratitude!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite with me! But sister-in-law drinks with me, I definitely can't refuse!"
After speaking, he picked up the glass and clinked it with Lin Yue, then raised his head and drank the white wine in the glass.
Then, Xia Ruofei looked at Ma Zheng and asked, "Old company commander, have you notified the guards? How do you react?"
Ma Zheng nodded, and said: "Generally speaking, everyone is more willing to accept the evacuation of Taoyuan Island. In terms of where to choose... Maybe it's because they have lived overseas for a long time in the past few years, so relatively speaking, people who choose to return to China to work are more likely. There are more, about a hundred people! I am still counting the exact number, but there are still some situations, so I want to report to you in advance!"
