Liu Yifeng ate his food as if the conversation had nothing to do with him.
After listening, Li Ming immediately asked, "Vegetable company, do they sell vegetables?"
"Yes, they sell vegetables to people, breaking through sales channels," Lu Fei nodded.
Miao Pengxiong, who was beside him, scoffed after hearing this, "Tch, how much money can one make selling vegetables? It sounds like a low-class company with no future development prospects. I think it's better to come work for our company. Although we often work overtime, the salary is acceptable, and we have social insurance and housing funds, which can give you at least a basic guarantee."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming gave him an displeased look, and Miao Pengxiong obediently shut his mouth.
Then Li Ming remembered something, "Yifeng, didn't you say you were farming in the countryside? You can have your vegetables taken to your friend's company for them to help you sell. After all, they run a company, so they must have some connections, which would be much easier than selling them yourself."
Liu Yifeng then put down his chopsticks and said, "Li Ming is indeed helping me sell vegetables."
What he said was not wrong, but this "help" was more than just mere assistance.
"That's good. Although their company will surely make some profit margin, business is about small profits but quick turnover. As long as your scale is large enough, you don't have to worry about not making money," Li Ming said cautiously, not catching the implied meaning in Liu Yifeng's words.
After lunch, Lu Fei called the waiter to pay the bill. However, the waiter pointed to Liu Yifeng and said, "Sir, this gentleman has already paid."
"What, Yifeng, when did you pay the bill behind my back? Didn't we agree that I would treat? How much was it? I'll give you the money now." He said, pulling out his wallet, ready to pay him.
Liu Yifeng quickly stopped him, "It's the same who treats. If you give me the money again, it will seem too distant. How about this, next time there's a chance, you can treat me back."
"Then... alright, but you're not allowed to secretly settle the bill next time," Li Ming also felt it was awkward to push back and forth over the cost of a meal, so he didn't insist.
But he still felt a little bad, and looked awkwardly at Liu Chunsheng, "Uncle Liu, I'm really sorry. I just said I was treating and you could eat whatever you wanted, but then your son paid the bill."
"It's alright, it's alright. You helped him a lot when Yifeng was working with you. It's only right for him to treat you to a meal, so don't take it to heart," Liu Chunsheng stood up and said.
Li Ming felt less awkward, "When I have time, I'll treat you and Yifeng to Peking duck at Quanjude. We have to go back to work at 2:30. Shall I give you a ride or will you take a taxi back?"
"We have a car and don't need a ride. You should go to work quickly and don't be late!" Liu Chunsheng urged.
"Okay, we're leaving then. Goodbye!" Li Ming waved goodbye.
Miao Pengxiong just nodded symbolically and then left with Li Ming.
Seeing them leave, Liu Yifeng said, "Then let's go too. Let's go back to the villa to rest for a while, and pick up Tongtong from school later."
"Okay, I need a nap!" Liu Chunsheng had a habit of napping every day, and unless something urgent came up, his midday nap was unshakeable.
"Lu Fei, you come too. Don't continue interviewing this afternoon. It's not too late to recruit tomorrow."
Lu Fei did not refuse, "Okay, I've never slept in such a luxurious villa in my life, so I'll experience it today."
Then, they returned to the villa.
Upon entering the villa, Lu Fei looked at the luxurious decoration and various high-end home appliances, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is a true wealthy family! My life isn't worth as much as that huge crystal chandelier above your head."
Liu Yifeng smiled and punched him, "You kid, you make your life seem so worthless to think it's not even worth as much as a chandelier. No matter how expensive that chandelier is, it's just a chandelier. But life is different. There's only one chance to live, and that's priceless."
"You're almost becoming a philosopher. I was just making a joke, but I have to say, your house is indeed luxurious. Are all the things inside yours?" Lu Fei sat on the leather sofa, crossing his legs, giving a very lazy and casual impression.
"Yifeng, Lu Fei, you two chat. I'm going to my room for a nap," Liu Chunsheng interrupted their conversation.
Liu Yifeng and Lu Fei nodded simultaneously, "Okay!"
Then Liu Yifeng continued with Lu Fei's topic, "This is a fully furnished apartment. Except for daily necessities and kitchen condiments, everything else comes with it."
"Not bad, not bad. No wonder the house sells for so much. There's really a reason for the high price. By the way, we've found a company. Shouldn't we think about a decoration company to change the company's name, and then do some simple renovations to make the company look better and more stylish?"
Liu Yifeng had already thought of this, "Isn't Qiangzi in the decoration business? Changing the company's sign should be a simple matter. Let him handle it directly. It's also a good way for him to familiarize himself with the work environment. Future meetings can be held here."
"You're really smart. How could I not have thought of that? Fortunately, I'm not the boss, otherwise Qiangzi wouldn't be able to earn this money." Lu Fei clearly remembered that Liu Yifeng wasn't much smarter than him when they were in school. But after working for a few years, he had achieved nothing and didn't even have a wife. Now Liu Yifeng had returned to his hometown to develop and immediately became a big boss. He really had to admire him. Now he could only hope that by following Yifeng, he could one day live in such a nice place!
Since neither Lu Fei nor Liu Yifeng had the habit of napping, they sat in the living room chatting. It wasn't until Liu Chunsheng woke up that he realized it was already four o'clock. Chatting really made one forget about time.
"Lu Fei, I'm going to pick up my son now. Do you want to go home, or...?" Liu Yifeng asked.
"Hmm... I'd better not go back. If I go back, I'll have to come again tomorrow, which is too much trouble," Lu Fei thought about it and decided against it.
"Then if you're not going back, where do you usually live? Are you renting an apartment or staying in a hotel?"
Lu Fei: "I'm renting an apartment, a one-bedroom one. Since I live alone, renting a larger place isn't cost-effective."
"I was thinking, if you were staying in a hotel, you could stay at my place for a few days until you find a suitable apartment," Liu Yifeng said immediately.
"No need, I have a place to stay. If you're not in a hurry, you can drop me off at my place first, and then go pick up your son."
"It's fine, it doesn't matter if I'm late. Tongtong is at Mr. Zhao's house, and he won't say anything." Liu Yifeng knew how important Tongtong was to Old Mr. Zhao. To put it self-servingly, he hadn't even doted on his own grandson as much as he did on Tongtong. And he had long considered Tongtong his own grandson. Therefore, if he went late, Old Mr. Zhao wouldn't be angry; he'd be happy for Tongtong to stay with him longer.
