Chapter 1054 Old Friend (30009000)

After all the heads of units finished speaking, Guan Guotai took the lead and took a group photo on stage, then moved to other places to eat.

This time they did not go to the provincial guesthouse, but to a private kitchen in Quancheng, where they ate Shandong cuisine.

The courtyard had a retro decoration and the quality of the dishes, so it was known that this meal was not cheap, but for Cao Shujie and the other five bosses, having a meal was not a problem at all.

And this meal was also paid for by the organization, so they didn't have to worry about it at all.

What surprised Cao Shujie the most was that Wang Qinghui came over and sat for about 10 minutes, drank with everyone, and then left because he had other arrangements.

It seemed that his visit represented the importance of the "benchmark enterprise for agricultural economic development."

Cao Shujie didn't feel anything special, but Chen Qiang and the other four were very excited. That was Wang Qinghui, the one who really had the final say on the 153,800 square kilometers of land in Dongshan.

However, Chen Qiang and the other four also had something they couldn't figure out.

When they saw Wang Qinghui leave, Cao Shujie also ran out.

After about a few minutes, Cao Shujie came back and punished himself with a drink for leaving the venue midway.

Except for Guan Guotai, no one in the audience could guess that he ran out just now to deliver the "agricultural and sideline products" he brought to Wang Qinghui.

Wang Qinghui did not refuse the deer antler slices, deer blood wine and fruit wine that Cao Shujie brought.

He also encouraged Cao Shujie to continue to work hard in the future, and told Cao Shujie that the better the company develops, the greater the government's support for the company.

Wang Qinghui's words made people feel very intriguing, but Cao Shujie heard something else from it, and he was also thinking seriously about the meaning of Wang Qinghui's words.

"Is there any other care for me?" Cao Shujie had this thought in his mind.

The boss of Gaoyan Seed is Chen Aihua, a doctor from a serious agricultural university.

He looked at Cao Shujie's young face and kept sighing that young people nowadays are really getting better and better.

Not only in the high-tech and Internet industries, many young people are emerging, even in physical enterprises such as agricultural and sideline product processing, they are so outstanding, what should these old guys do?

He had heard of Xuemeng Food Factory before, mainly because Xuemeng Food Factory was too outstanding, and there was a news every once in a while, plus its boss was very young, it was hard for people not to pay attention.

But today, seeing Cao Shujie in person, watching Cao Shujie and Guan Guotai chatting calmly, made Chen Aihua realize that Cao Shujie was really not simple.

Because of this, Chen Aihua wanted to get to know Cao Shujie seriously.

After three rounds of wine, when everyone started, Chen Aihua took up the wine glass and took the initiative to find Cao Shujie to drink one.

"Mr. Cao, we met for the first time today through this award ceremony, and it is also fate to know each other. I like to make friends. Let's drink one. If there is anything in the future, as long as I can help, I will definitely go all out." Chen Aihua said very sincerely.

Cao Shujie listened to his words, looked at his smiling face, and thought in his heart that this was also a cunning ghost.

Although he said it was nice, Cao Shujie didn't believe a word.

Who would believe someone who started to open up to him when they just met for the first time?

But you can't hit a smiling person. Chen Aihua kept talking to him with a smile, and Cao Shujie couldn't turn the table over with him for no reason.

The two of them clinked their glasses and each took a sip.

Seeing that the two of them were drinking, the remaining three people, Chen Qiang, Yu Juntao, and Jiang Donghua, were not to be outdone. They toasted Guan Guotai first.

Guan Guotai said that he had a sudden physical condition and really couldn't drink too much today.

After saying this, Guan Guotai picked up the glass and drank a glass with the three of them.

Chen Qiang and the others were very happy. Even if Guan Guotai just took a sip of wine, Chen Qiang and the others still felt that they were valued.

After that, they went to drink with the heads of various units.

When Cao Shujie and Chen Qiang finished drinking and put down their glasses, they saw Xia Zonghai, the director of the provincial TV station next to them. He took the glass and went to Xia Zonghai to express his gratitude.

He also told Xia Zonghai that the staff of the "Meet the Big Shots" program group would arrive in Qingshi Town on the 17th. At that time, they would go to the factory to shoot the on-site video first, and then go to Beijing to record the video in the studio.

"Xiao Cao, this program is still very important." Xia Zonghai said in one sentence.

But Cao Shujie understood that he was not aimless.

When the program group called Cao Shujie, Cao Shujie had a detailed communication with the other party. This time they were in the third season of the "Meet the Big Shots" column. In front of him was Liu Qiangdong, behind him was Zhang Chaoyang, and further down, there seemed to be Guo Guangchang. As for the arrangement of the personnel behind, the program group did not say.

Cao Shujie was more inclined to believe that they might not have decided on the candidates yet.

But back to the program itself, Cao Shujie had to admit that if he was excluded, any of the remaining few people could beat him.

"Uncle Xia, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." Cao Shujie said so.

He was also expressing his true feelings.

He and Xia Zonghai didn't have many interactions, but when he asked Xia Zonghai for help, he used his connections to help him with all his might. It was hard to repay this favor.

Xia Zonghai didn't say anything else.

Before he knew it, it was already past 9 p.m. Guan Guotai might really be feeling unwell. He stood up in the middle of the show and asked the rest of the people to eat and drink well. He left early.

As Guan Guotai left, the heads of the Department of Agriculture, the Market Supervision Bureau and other units also left early.

It seemed that Guan Guotai's early return was more like a signal.

Xia Zonghai was no slower than them. Before leaving, Xia Zonghai told Cao Shujie that they would meet alone another day.

With their departure, the drinking party was basically over.

But because it was too late, Cao Shujie did not rush back to Caojiazhuang. Instead, he found a hotel nearby and opened two rooms, one for him and Song Baoming, to make do with a night's rest.

The next morning, Cao Shujie and Song Baoming went to have some breakfast together.

After dinner, Song Baomin thought he would go back to Caojiazhuang directly, but Cao Shujie told him that he happened to come to Quancheng and go buy some fruits to bring back.

Although Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative also grows fruits, the problem is that their village cooperative only has kiwi fruit.

Cao Shujie's orchard still has apples and strawberries, but now is not the time.

If you want to eat some fresh fruits, you still have to buy them.

Song Baoming didn't know where to buy fruit, but he had navigation. He typed the word "fruit" in the navigation, and immediately a row of navigation addresses of various fruit stores, supermarkets or fruit wholesale markets came out.

He showed it to Cao Shujie, who directly selected the Dikou Fruit Wholesale Market, and Song Baoming drove Cao Shujie there.

The straight-line distance from the navigation was only 4 kilometers, but when he actually walked here, it was just in the rush hour. When there was a traffic jam, he had to wait for three traffic lights at an intersection, which was really impressive.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie was not in a hurry and asked Song Baoming to drive slowly.

They finally arrived at the Dikou Fruit Wholesale Market. Song Baoming stopped the car and followed Cao Shujie into the fruit wholesale market.

This place is very large. There is a signboard at the door introducing the scale of the Dikou Fruit Wholesale Market. According to the information on the signboard, this place covers an area of ​​about 100,000 square meters, with a total of more than 1,100 stores, and sells more than 300 kinds of fruits of various categories.

When they entered the market, the fragrance of fruit was everywhere, and there were people greeting them warmly at the door of the fruit store.

Before they took two steps, a young woman came to stop them and asked Cao Shujie what kind of fruit he wanted to buy.

Cao Shujie thought, is it so enthusiastic to sell fruit now?

Or is it that there are fewer people buying fruit and no customers come to the store?

He couldn't accept such a warm greeting.

"Sorry, we don't buy fruit." Cao Shujie rejected the other party's kindness and continued to walk forward with Song Baoming.

There are indeed many kinds of fruits here, which are worthy of the more than 300 varieties introduced on the signboard. Cao Shujie thinks there are more than enough.

Continuing to walk forward, I saw that every fruit store had a stall set up outside the door, and the stall was full of different kinds of fruits.

Apples, bananas, oranges, watermelons, peeled durian, jackfruit, etc. were all on the shelves.

In addition to these regular fruits, there are many fruits with small signs next to them, which read Thai tamarind, Thai soursop, Thai carambola, Malaysian longan, mangosteen, rambutan, etc.

These names alone made Cao Shujie dizzy.

Just as he was thinking about which store to go to for a better value for money, he suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him.

"Boss Cao, here!"

Cao Shujie looked around and finally heard the direction of the voice. He walked over to the voice and saw a man and a woman who were not young.

"You are that... that Zhang Tianzhi, right?" Cao Shujie thought hard and finally remembered.

Zhang Tianzhi was also very happy to see Cao Shujie recognize him: "Boss Cao, why are you here?"

"Didn't I just finish the meeting? I was going to buy some fruit to go back to my hometown, but I didn't know that the bosses here are so enthusiastic, so I'm embarrassed to go over." Cao Shujie made excuses for himself.

As for whether they believed it or not, Cao Shujie didn't care.

However, Zhang Tianzhi and another girl named Xu Su got together.

Cao Shujie also found that the girl named Xu Su had never taken her eyes off Zhang Tianzhi.

This undoubtedly shows that the two of them may be in a relationship now.

Cao Shujie remembered that when their team went to Caojiazhuang to harvest strawberries, there were more than just these two people in front of him.

Thinking of this, Cao Shujie asked: "It's just you two, where are the others?"

"They opened a shop inside, and Xu Su and I opened a shop near the door." Zhang Tianzhi said.

This undoubtedly meant to tell Cao Shujie that their small team had to split up in the end. (End of this chapter)
