National Tide 1980.

Finally, after sitting for more than twenty minutes, Yao Lihua couldn't bear it anymore.

She nudged her man and asked in a low voice about everything about Ning Weimin and Yunyuan.

Manager Sha brought his wife here today. Although he was forced to do so at first, so far he has increasingly realized the benefits of doing so.

Because his ignorant wife was shocked by Ning Weimin's identity, but after coming to Yunyuan and opening her eyes, her tigress-like temper unconsciously became much calmer.

Not to mention that his wife no longer had the oppression and suspicious distrust towards him, even the scandals he had caused seemed to have been forgotten by him.

So Manager Sha decided that it would be better to tell his wife more about Ning Weimin and Yunyuan, at least it would continue to distract his wife.

As long as his wife doesn't remember the mistakes she made, his situation will be much more comfortable.

Besides, I have nothing to do now, so I might as well kill time and chat.

"What do you mean by extravagance? This is called taste in life. Do you think others are just like you?"

Manager Sha licked his face and started to promote it.

He is actually quite good at talking. He has a lot to say about everything. It's a bit of a waste that he doesn't engage in folk art.

"Mr. Ning makes money without a count and spends without limit. Money comes like a landslide or a tsunami, and money goes like a dam bursting. He lives a happy life. You live a muddled life. You are showing off, but to him it's just a daily routine..."

However, although Yao Lihua envied all this, she was also a person who liked to argue.

It was hard not to be critical of all the extravagant things he said.

"I said you are addicted to squeezing me. I just don't believe it. Is there anyone who doesn't even know how much money he earns? Can't he just look at his bank deposits and know? Look at your boasting, that's outrageous. You have no idea how much money you make? No matter how much money he makes, he has to have an idea..."

The couple must have been accustomed to bickering like this, and Manager Sha continued to retort without mercy.

"You are so funny. You said you have a number, so you can calculate how much this Yun Garden is worth. I will tell you. It is very big, as big as half of Jingshan Park. Don't you think about how much half of Jingshan Park is worth..."

Yao Lihua, who is outspoken, still doesn't believe in evil.

"Is it true? This place belongs to him? Oh my god, why do I not believe it? The minister's house is not that big? How can he have such a big garden? Just because he is a shareholder of Pierre Cardin? This should be regarded as a counterattack by the bourgeoisie..."

Seeing that his wife always had something to say, Manager Sha finally became a little impatient and simply spoke with facts.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by counterattack? If you can't speak, just shut up. I'm telling you, he is a shareholder here. This is a foreign-related hotel. A room costs four hundred dollars a night, which is more expensive than the Great Wall Hotel. The whole garden now has fifty-seven rooms. Although I don't know how many shares Mr. Ning has, but just calculate the room fee. How much can he earn in a day..."

"So expensive?"

"No..."

"Is anyone here?"

"You took that 'Ma' away. Foreigners love it. I heard that a foreigner seems to have booked several rooms for a long time. In autumn, you have to make an appointment in advance to get a room. Really rich people don't care about this little money. Don't forget, compared with foreign hotels, this place is always cheap..."

"That's true..."

After hearing the logical data, Yao Lihua's attitude finally changed.

Manager Sha was feeling proud and was still eager to expand the information he had.

"You haven't counted his shares in Pierre Cardin. It is said that our foreign boss gave him shares, and his current shares are almost the same as Mr. Song's. Just think about it, how much dividends does he get every year? And there are also the LaTeX ties and trolley suitcases, which were invented by him, and he also has shares in LaTeX. In addition, he also runs the Dangu Restaurant in Japan. I heard that it has now developed into a scale of three branches. He earns tens of millions of RMB a year. Just think about it, our company's investment in these three restaurants accounts for one-third, how much can he get from it?"

Indeed, for people in China who have rarely seen big money, the overseas income of Guangtan Temple is enough to make Yao Lihua exclaim.

"Tens of millions? Oh my god! Opening a restaurant in Japan actually makes this much money!"

"Yes, the profit of one store is equal to that of four stores in China. And that's not all. Don't forget, the most amazing thing about him is that he made several stars famous, and he also married a Japanese superstar. Especially since this superstar is the owner of a film studio, he can spend tens of millions of dollars on just one movie. He is just a gigolo. Don't you think this gigolo tastes good? And I also know that he opened several clothing stores, like Playboy, Champs Elysees, and a sportswear store, all of which are his stores."

"Oh my god! That's amazing! Champs Elysees, I know, there's one next to our house. If you say so, then he's almost a billionaire, right?"

"That's right. I guess he doesn't even know how much money he has. He just spends it all. Even if he doubles his money in his lifetime, he still can't spend it all. Do you think he knows how much money he earns..."

Yao Lihua, who was repeatedly shocked by Manager Sha's words, finally agreed with his ideas, but was also a little jealous.

"I don't know. But...but how can he make so much money? How can he own so many properties? Any one of these is enough to make him a millionaire. Is he still a normal person? To me, he sounds like the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. It's too magical..."

Manager Sha had no choice but to remind his wife that people who compare themselves to others are more likely to die.

"Hey, you don't understand this. People are definitely different. How can it be possible that there are no distinctions? Those who work with their minds rule over others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others. This is the truth of this world. As long as you have brains and are smart enough, you can get rich. Otherwise, you will be poor even if you work yourself to death. This is the same even for gods. Look, Pangu was pragmatic. He created the world and did so much hard work. Why didn't people want to worship him? What did the Jade Emperor do? He did nothing but eat and drink every day and watch Chang'e dance. What was the result? People worshipped him. What does this show? It can only show that Mr. Ning is very wise and not an ordinary person. This is why I asked him to come. This is the reason..."

But in the end, Yao Lihua was still provoked and subconsciously retorted.

It also shifted the focus of the conflict onto Manager Sha.

"Oh, what you said makes a lot of sense. But let me ask you, why didn't you get rich? Don't you always say that you are a smart person? It seems that there is no loophole in the world that you can't exploit. Then why can't you be like others and earn such a fortune for me? If you have the ability, you don't have to rush to beg others for help now..."

This statement is not very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting.

Manager Sha, who prides himself on being pretty good, is now a little hurt.

He thinks his wife's comparison is unreasonable.

"Yao Lihua, you came here just to quarrel with me. Isn't that right? Yes, I can't compare to Mr. Ning, I haven't made a fortune, but I haven't wronged you. Count the savings certificates at home, you have nothing to feel guilty about. In our entire building, who has an income like mine? I just realized today that you are still quite unsatisfied. Before you look down on me, take a look at yourself first. Why am I not as good as others? I tell you, I am unlucky because I married a stupid wife. You only know how to envy rich people, and rich people are all divorced..."

As a result, his voice became louder involuntarily, and Yao Lihua also raised her voice in response.

In particular, some sensitive words were mentioned.

"Hey, you Sha. I've known for a long time that you have evil intentions. You don't like me, right? So you're flirting with other girls outside! You're still a human being. You don't like me, why didn't you tell me when you married me? You don't like me, why didn't you tell me when I gave birth to your son? Now that you despise me, you're flirting with that little witch and bringing her back home. You're a stinky hooligan..."

As a result, the couple started arguing again unconsciously.

After all, their marital conflict was only temporarily suppressed and not truly resolved from the root.

Now that cause and effect are complete, they will be reborn like the spring breeze.

Besides, women love to bring up old things.

In order to satisfy herself, Yao Lihua did not hesitate to expose Manager Sha's cheating in public, which made the conflict between the couple even more intense.

Needless to say, Manager Sha was so embarrassed that he could not even stay in the room.

I really wanted to slap my wife twice on the spot and tear her mouth apart.

I originally wanted to reduce the pressure on myself and avoid being nagged by my wife by chatting and grinding my teeth, but I didn't expect that the opposite would happen.

I saw that the old masters who were in the same room were all looking at me strangely, and even the waiter was looking at me strangely.

Manager Sha was so regretful that he really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

In my anger, I really wanted to divorce her.

Fortunately, Zhang Shihui came back at this time.

He suddenly became the couple's tranquilizer and peacemaker who avoided conflict.

Seeing this lively couple fighting together, the whole reception room was in unrest.

Zhang Shihui couldn't ignore it, whether in public or private. Although it was said that "even an honest official could not judge family affairs", being an outsider also had its advantages, and he could always get some face.

Especially since Manager Sha and Yao Lihua came here to ask for help, as long as they haven't completely lost their minds, they won't continue to escalate the situation.

So, with Zhang Shihui's persuasion and coaxing, the conflict between the two enemies was relatively smoothly resolved.

What's more, Zhang Shihui didn't come back alone. He brought a few waiters with him to serve snacks.

The delicious food helped calm the emotions of Manager Sha and his wife, and also allowed them to experience Yunyuan's more thoughtful etiquette and grandeur.

It turns out that it is almost 3:30 in the afternoon, which is tea time as the Westerners say.

According to the habits of foreigners, people drink tea and eat some snacks.

Although there is no such saying in China, there is such a need in real life.

Usually when the "little hunger" strikes between two meals, Chinese people often have some steamed buns or snacks to eat, which is called "filling the gap".

It is true that there are steamed buns in the guest room, but Ning Weimin was more thoughtful.

Knowing that there were quite a few elderly people among his guests, who might have bad teeth, bad stomachs, or were embarrassed to eat and drink openly, he still asked the kitchen to prepare a few jars of porridge and wontons and send them to the guests in each room.

There are sweet and salty dishes, all of which are warm liquid food, and guests can choose according to their preferences.

Although he was too busy to see the guests in time, he would not want to let the guests who had been waiting for him for a long time go hungry.

Especially the things he sent were so exquisite that even the unhappiest person would turn their negative emotions into appetite when seeing them.

Let’s talk about the porridge first. Yunyuan’s big kitchen cooks Laba porridge.

There are as many as seven kinds of rice alone, including barley, millet, white rice, yellow rice, coix seed rice, water chestnut rice, and water chestnut rice.

There are as many as six kinds of beans, such as soybeans, kidney beans, red beans, mung beans, adzuki beans, black beans, plus dates and chestnuts.

There are eleven kinds of porridge ingredients, including melon seeds, walnuts, almonds, lotus seeds, raisins, black silk, red silk, brown sugar, white sugar, powdered white sugar, sesame...

Fragrant, sweet, and cooked until soft and thick.

Although not as grand as the Tan Gong Restaurant, there are dozens of kinds of porridge and fruit on display, which looks very beautiful.

But it’s also rich and tempting enough.

As for the wontons, they are made with real ingredients and in high broth.

This is exclusive to the north and is different from the wontons in the south.

There are about ten wontons in a bowl, with thick skin and solid fillings.

Eating one is enough and it will definitely fill you up. The color, aroma and taste are outstanding and it also brings good luck and meaning.

Just look at this bowl, it contains dried shrimp skin, chopped Sichuan vegetables, chopped pickled mustard tuber, chopped leeks, and a little soy sauce, vinegar, and pepper.

After the wontons are served in a bowl, two or three slices of seaweed are added. If you like spicy food, there is also chili powder sprinkled with oil.

Just the taste, let alone eating it, just the warm aroma that enters your nose is enough to intoxicate you.

So, as soon as these things are served.

Not only the masters in the room forgot to watch the couple fighting, they were flattered and kept thanking them.

Those who choose porridge can drink porridge, and those who choose wontons can eat wontons.

Even Manager Sha and Yao Lihua no longer had time to argue, as they turned their attention to eating.

Because to be honest, they are the two who need food supplements the most. Arguing is more exhausting than anything else.

Especially for couples like them who become hysterical every time they quarrel, and seem willing to die together. Their level of exhaustion after the quarrel is comparable to that of having just finished a marathon. How can they not eat more?

Then maybe I will be at a disadvantage next time I fight.

Just to make the east wind prevail over the west wind, you have to drink two more bowls.

And at this moment, more people gathered in Yunyuan.

Their purpose is basically the same, they hope to meet Ning Weimin.

Just like Zhang Shihui, who had just settled Manager Sha and his wife, she saw through the glass Cui Jian walking into Yunyuan with a few people.

Seeing that these people all had long hair, carried zithers on their backs, and looked like wanderers, he quickly pushed the door open to greet them, stopped them in a polite manner, and asked them why they were there.

"We want to see President Ning..." Cui Jian said after a moment of silence.

"Mr. Ning is fully booked for today's meetings. You'll have to wait. Are you sure you want to meet today? I'll go get back to you..."

"Mr. Ning is so busy?"

"Um……"

"Then...how long do we have to wait?"

"It's hard to say. Look at these rooms. They are all filled with people waiting to see President Ning. Why don't you go in first, have some tea, smoke a cigarette, and chat..."

"These are my buddies, and they are all good at their jobs. We just want to talk to Mr. Ning about the tape. It won't take long..."

"Well, I'm so sorry, I can only ask for you. Chen Peisi and Liu Xiaoqin, they are also waiting..."

In Kang Shude's courtyard, Luo Guangliang also stopped Xiao Tao who came in with his girlfriend Sang Jing.

"Why are you here instead of spending the holidays at home?"

"Third brother, I...I...I have something to ask Brother Ning..."

"Wei Min is meeting a guest, the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven. He will also meet someone from the Textile Bureau. If you don't have anything important to say, tell me in a few days..."

"I..." Xiao Tao stopped talking and glanced at Sang Jing beside him. Sang Jing's expression was indifferent, as if she didn't care.

Luo Guangliang figured out something and asked Xiao Tao.

"What's going on? Why don't you tell me..."

"Nothing. Sang Jing is about to graduate, and she wants to inquire about studying abroad..."

Luo Guangliang's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Sang Jing closely, "You want to go abroad?"

Sang Jing couldn't stand Luo Guangliang's gaze, and finally became shy. "I just want to ask, I haven't decided yet..."

Xiao Tao took the initiative to help, "Third brother, isn't medicine in Japan quite advanced? It would be great if she could go there for further studies. Brother Ning will definitely be able to help..."

Luo Guangliang looked at Xiao Tao angrily and was completely speechless.

I thought to myself, my silly brother, how can you be so honest? How can you agree to something like this? (End of this chapter)
