Chapter 1559 Dali Welcomes You

At this time, with the help of Suning, Xu Hongdou had opened a folk products duty-free shop at Shanghai International Airport and also acquired the Japan Airlines Hotel in Japan.

International tourists who come here will go to the airport duty-free shops for a shopping spree, and products with Chinese cultural characteristics are naturally sought after, so the business of folk products duty-free shops is extremely hot.

In fact, Xu Hongdou herself was also shocked. She originally thought that it was great that Suning could buy a hotel, but she did not expect that it directly bought a five-star hotel brand.

Then Xu Hongdou transformed herself into a strong woman in the business world, and gradually became successful in China's hotel industry. She no longer had to endure the frustration of being a worker.

Moreover, the staff arranged by Suning for Xu Hongdou are all very capable. They make the most appropriate arrangements in both finance and personnel. Xu Hongdou does not need to worry about many things herself, which makes Xu Hongdou curious about her man's past.

Xu Hongdou, who suddenly missed her man, called Suning in Dali. "Suning, the Nikko Hotel is currently undergoing restructuring, and our own staff will take over the hotel management in an orderly manner."

"Okay! Don't make too big movements! So as not to cause resistance from the original staff." At this time, Suning reminded Xu Hongdou again.

Xu Hongdou teased playfully over the phone, "Understood! I'll follow your instructions, old man. The capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted."

"Haha, Nanxing and I will go to Shanghai to see you in a few days! Nanxing and I miss you so much."

"Yeah, I missed you guys too."

In fact, Suning has always been paying attention to Xu Hongdou's affairs. After all, he is still worried about his woman working out there. If it weren't for those AI humanoid robots serving as employees, Suning would definitely go to Shanghai in person to assist Xu Hongdou.

At this time, Su Ning also had the idea of letting Xu Hongdou practice Taoism, so that she and Chen Xiaojun could accompany him forever. As for Chen Nanxing, his foundation had completely collapsed and he had no spiritual roots to practice Taoism, so he could only try his best to accompany her throughout her life.

I just wonder if Chen Xiaojun in the real world would be a little angry about his own romantic behavior when he knew that he had a new confidante. However, these issues are not something Suning cares too much about.

……

This incident of pulling his pants made Xie Zhiyuan feel humiliated. He ran away from home without telling Xie Zhiyao and his grandmother, and found his bad friends in Dali Town.

These bad friends took Xie Zhiyuan out to eat and drink, but Xie Zhiyuan kept in mind the words of his elder brother and parents, and always adhered to the bottom line of not drinking alcohol as a minor.

After the dinner, Xie Zhiyuan found that he had very little cash left in his pocket, so he decided to stay and work to earn money and learn how to entertain guests.

Xie Zhiyao tried many ways to find his brother but failed, so he simply gave up looking for him, believing that he would come back as long as he spent all his money.

Everyone was very worried about Xie Zhiyuan's safety, but it was extremely difficult for Xie Zhiyuan to trace the source of the news, so the only thing he could do was to be careful about what he said.

Xie Xiaochun was also curious about why Xie Xiaoxia and Xie Zhiyuan had a good relationship, and why Xie Zhiyuan ran away from home without telling him. Xie Zhiyuan comforted them not to worry too much, but in fact he still cared about his younger brother very much.

Aunt Feng is responsible for the after-sales customer service of the Xie family fruit and vegetable Taobao store. Sometimes she encounters difficult and unreasonable customers. Usually, Xie Xiaochun chooses to maintain harmony and make big things small, so as to avoid causing bad reputation for the Taobao store.

Aunt Agui was quite outspoken. She said whatever she wanted to say about Xie Zhiyuan, so much so that even though she didn't mean it, the listener took it seriously. She didn't consider Aunt Feng's feelings.

On the way to buy a light bulb, Xie Zhiyao met an old friend and learned that the friend was planning to take out a loan to buy a car to run his business. After all, the job market is in a downturn right now, and he hopes to earn some extra money to supplement his family income.

Xiaoqin from Gucheng couldn't help gossiping about Xie Zhiyuan pooping his pants. Xie Zhiyuan didn't want to discuss it too much and deliberately mentioned that Xiaoqin's father was planning to let her be an apprentice in an embroidery workshop. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqin strongly opposed it.

That night, Aunt Agui brought Aunt Baoping and Aunt Feng to the inn. The three aunts put pressure on Xie Zhiyao, suggesting that he should find Xie Zhiyuan, because his younger brother was young and did not understand the law, and sooner or later he would be led astray.

Xie Zhiyao knew what the aunts meant, and said that he had an idea in mind, so he sent them back to rest.

At this time in Dali Town, Xie Zhiyuan worked as a waiter in a restaurant, running around every day and working himself to death.

It was not until late at night when the restaurant closed that he called Xie Xiaoxia to ask about the situation at home.

Xie Xiaoxia knew the reason why Xie Zhiyuan didn't go to school, and persuaded him to be more open-minded, saying that diarrhea was not something shameful at all.

But Xie Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable when he learned that his brother had not looked for him at all.

Before leaving for Shanghai, Xie Xiaoxia stole a bank card from home and followed his netizen Kai Ge to invest money in stocks. At first, he made some income, but later he found that the stock website was often unable to open. Kai Ge comforted him not to worry, as this was due to website maintenance.

Afterwards, Xie Xiaoxia bought a plane ticket to Shanghai and left a letter for her master Xie Heshun, advising him to live a good life and not to drink too much. Xie Heshun was deeply moved by this.

The peaceful life in the village remains the same. Every day starts with meditation on Machu Mountain. Chen Nanxing also gets up early to go out for a run. Suning, who loves to sleep in, naturally accompanies him. They enjoy the scenery along the way and then buy some groceries to take back.

"Suning, you feel a little weak now?"

"Tsk! So you're always the first to raise your hands in surrender?"

"Huh! Am I talking about that? I think you only have some physical strength when doing that."

"That's it! Good steel should be used on the blade."

"No! You must go jogging with me in the morning from now on."

"Ah? I want to sleep in?"

……

Xie Heshun lives a very comfortable life now. His wood carvings have been taken away by people sent by Xu Hongdou. Now he only needs to carve according to the requirements every day.

There is no need to consider the most important sales issue at all. As for those tourists who only look but do not buy, they are no longer annoying. Anyway, the customers of wood carvings are not these tourists.

A customer looked at the price tag on a wood carving with a look of surprise and asked, "Boss, is the price wrong? How can a wood carving cost tens of thousands of yuan?"

"There is no mistake in the label! This can only be regarded as a workshop. These wood carvings are mainly sold in Shanghai specialty stores, and these handmade wood carvings are definitely worth the price." At this time, Xie Heshun explained to the tourists with a smile on his face, and unknowingly a smile began to appear on his face.

The tourist frowned in confusion and looked at Xie Heshun and asked, "Is there any difference between hand-carved and machine-carved?"

"Of course! One is a collectible with soul, while the other is just a soulless craft. Machine carving is more suitable for the rough decoration of some shops. It may fool ordinary people who don't know much about it, but those who really know the business will definitely look down on machine-carved products."

"But this is too expensive?"

"There's nothing we can do about it! This is a kind of cultural heritage, which is more meaningful than those luxury goods."

"Can we take some pictures?" "Sure! Feel free to do whatever you want! Dali welcomes you."

Of course, Xie Heshun, who is living a comfortable life now, has not forgotten to study. He made a special trip to see Xie Huailan's tie-dye workshop, just to know what the difference is between himself and the other.

Xie Huailan is also a inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, but she knows how to keep up with the pace of the times and promote intangible cultural heritage through new technologies. This alone is something that Xie Heshun still has a lot to learn.

However, Xie Heshun is lucky to have met Xu Hongdou now. He no longer needs to worry about the frustration and depression he had in the past. In a few days, she will take him to a foreign country to perform cultural performances.

……

Early in the morning, Chen Nanxing went to the kitchen to cook breakfast himself. When Su Ning was woken up by Chen Nanxing, he was in a daze and did not react for a long time.

During this period of time, Chen Nanxing visited almost all the surrounding attractions and slowly began to miss Xu Hongdou. He also wanted to be as successful in the business world as Xu Hongdou.

At first, Chen Nanxing thought he came to Dali to travel and lie down, to be a useless person with nothing, mainly to spend the last moments of his life.

In fact, her idea is also a moment that many young people today have. It is better to be free and easy instead of living so that life is not so tiring.

It is also true that the older people get, the more they miss their childhood. If they want to live a meaningful life, they can only strive to get ahead in the adult world.

Then Chen Nanxing began to miss her former fulfilling life. After all, she had recovered her former health. "Suning, how are things going with the foreign-funded hospital?"

"We have made some progress! We bought a bankrupt hospital in Fangshan that was running at a loss. We are currently renovating the interior and exterior of the hospital, and the advanced equipment purchased from abroad is also being installed in an orderly manner." Suning explained to Chen Nanxing without hiding anything.

As expected, Chen Nanxing couldn't contain his surprise and looked at Su Ning and asked, "Huh? Should I go back and keep an eye on it?"

"What? Are you tired of playing in Dali?" Su Ning immediately understood the implicit meaning of Chen Nanxing's words.

"Well, it's the first time I've been free for such a long time, and I'm not quite used to it yet."

"That's fine! Anyway, your body has fully recovered and you can return to the workplace again."

"Then let's go to Shanghai first. I miss Hongdou."

"Alright! It's been a while since I've had enough fun, so I'm going to have a good time this time."

"Bah! Shameless."

Even though Chen Nanxing kept complaining about Suning's shamelessness, she had actually been conquered by Suning a long time ago, otherwise she would never have accepted the idea of two women sharing one man.

Today, Suning not only gives her a new life, but also brings her physical and mental pleasure. As a woman, there is nothing she is dissatisfied with.

……

Xie Zhiyuan spilled some food while working in a restaurant in Dali Town. He endured the grievance and squatted down to clean up the food, but ended up getting burned.

Brother Liang personally applied medicine to Xie Zhiyuan and suggested that he should go home, but he found that he was not able to adapt to society at all.

However, Xie Zhiyuan was stubborn and he didn't know that he was much happier than Brother Liang. At least the care from his parents and even his brother was exactly the family affection that Brother Liang had always dreamed of.

Xie Zhiyao's life is not easy now. Since Xie Zhiyao hires the elders in the village to work, personnel management among acquaintances is difficult. They often make mistakes when packing goods, and Xie Xiaochun cannot follow the process to avoid hurting their relationship.

Aunt Baoping found out that Xie Xiaoxia took the bank card when she left, and hurriedly called her daughter Xie Xiaochun, fearing that her son would be deceived outside.

Xie Xiaochun knew his brother's temperament, so he took the initiative to transfer 3,000 yuan to him and told him to spend frugally in Shanghai.

Little did she know that the Brother Kai Xie Xiaoxia met was a liar. She was defrauded of 30,000 yuan as soon as she arrived in Shanghai. She had no choice but to run to the police station to report the crime.

Now everyone in the village is saying that Xie Zhiyao and his brother have a bad relationship, otherwise why didn't they come forward to look for him.

Just when Grandma Xie was asking Xie Zhiyao about his whereabouts, Xie Zhiyao suddenly received a call from Xie Xiaoxia and learned about what he had been going through during this period.

That's why Xie Zhiyao had no choice but to run to Shanghai. Under the current circumstances, it would be most appropriate to bring Xie Xiaoxia back. After all, it was too dangerous for the child to stay outside.

In contrast, Xie Xiaoxia was penniless and had to sit on the street selling milk fans to make money. Fortunately, these milk fans were left to him by Aunt Aquarius when he went to Shanghai.

Xie Zhiyao found Xie Xiaoxia as soon as possible. Seeing that he was alone, he shook his head helplessly and took him to a restaurant for dinner first.

Arriving at the store, Xie Zhiyao forced a smile as he looked at Xie Xiaoxia in front of him, "Xiaoxia, have you learned your lesson this time?"

"Brother Yao, I'm sorry! I let you down." At this time, Xie Xiaoxia lowered her head with shame and apologized.

However, Xie Zhiyao disapproved and reminded Xie Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, you are sorry to your mother, your sister, and your master."

"I was wrong! I didn't expect the world outside to be so complicated?" At this time, Xie Xiaoxia had also witnessed the complexity and danger of the outside world.

"Xiaoxia, why do you think I went back to Dali to start a business? It's because the outside world doesn't belong to us. If we want to live a good life, we still have to develop in our hometown."

"This……"

Xie Zhiyao then went on to talk about Xie Heshun's recent situation, implying that he wanted Xie Xiaoxia to go back and continue learning wood carving. "Also, your master's wood carving shop is now thriving. All of his handmade wood carvings are brought to Shanghai for sale. The most ordinary piece can sell for five or six thousand yuan."

"Ah? No way? How long have I been walking?" As expected, Xie Xiaoxia widened her eyes in shock, feeling that the world was changing too quickly.

"Xu Hongdou, a friend of our new neighbor Suning, opened a folk customs shop in Shanghai. I heard they specialize in selling folk customs products to foreign tourists."

Xie Xiaoxia felt a little guilty and looked at Xie Zhiyao in front of her and asked, "So that's how it is! Brother Yao, do you think my master will still accept me?"

Xie Zhiyao, however, promised Xie Xiaoxia with great confidence, "Don't worry! I will! I promise you."

In fact, Xie Heshun is also very worried about Xie Xiaoxia's safety. After all, it is not safe for a child to venture out in Shanghai. Besides, he really needs a caring apprentice by his side.
