Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 197 Luck

As Xiaowei approached the classroom door, he heard the teacher's clear voice inside. He cautiously tiptoed and peeked through the window, but before he could see Xiaohong, the teacher on the platform saw him first, stopped lecturing, walked to the door, opened it, and asked, "Student, is there something you need?"

Xiao Wei smiled sheepishly and said, "Um, sorry teacher, I need to find Wang Xiaohong."

The teacher looked Xiaowei up and down and asked, "What do you want with her? Who are you to her?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm her brother. Just call her and she'll know."

The teacher stared at Xiaowei for a few moments, then turned to the students inside and said, "Wang Xiaohong, come out for a moment."

Xiao Hong answered from inside and came out. She paused for a moment when she saw Xiao Wei at the door and asked, "What are you doing here? get out of class isn't over yet."

When the teacher realized that the two people actually knew each other, he closed the classroom door and went back to continue his lesson.

Xiao Wei lowered his voice and said, "Chen Hui, Chen Xiaoxia, and Mao Sheng are all here. Their car is parked downstairs. Can we leave now?"

Xiao Hong asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's okay, we'll just go this way anyway. Chen Xiao said he'll pick you up directly, so you won't have to go back and forth."

Xiao Hong asked, "Is everything done?"

Xiao Wei said, "The contract for Er Ma Lu is done. The contract for Dong Lai Shun is also signed. We're heading to Jian'an now. Hurry up, or we won't be able to find you by noon."

Xiaohong glanced at her watch, thought for a moment, and said, "Let me talk to the teacher. You wait a moment."

She turned and went into the classroom, said a few words to the teacher, went to get her schoolbag, and came out saying, "Let's go. This time, Teacher Deng is definitely not happy with me. He also had a class when I asked for leave last time. What's wrong? Can't we wait until noon?"

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "It's not my fault, these guys are all excited. Chen Xiao insisted on coming to pick you up."

Xiao Hong turned her head and stared at her with wide eyes, saying, "Did you take the money?"

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "I got it. It's in the car. You didn't see it just now, but Xia Maosheng was so excited he became a poet, Chen Xiao kept clamoring to buy, buy, buy, and Chen Hui was even more ruthless, he almost drove the car onto the curb."

Xiao Hong pouted and said, "Are you two really that serious?" The two of them went downstairs while talking.

As soon as they left the teaching building, Chen Xiao opened the car door and called out, "Xiao Hong, hurry up!"

Xiao Hong ran over laughing and said, "Is it really necessary for you guys to get so excited?" She took Chen Xiao's hand and got into the car, and then...

As Xiaowei walked to the car, he heard a sharp scream, "Ah—" from Xiaohong.

Xiao Wei got into the car and closed the door. He saw Xiao Hong hugging Chen Xiao with a flushed face, looking at the pile of money on the seat with an incredulous expression.

Xiao Wei said, "Hui Zi, drive quickly and get the stamp so we can get to Jian'an. We're running late. If we don't leave soon, the security guards will be here. That was quite loud; I bet everyone in class inside heard it."

Everyone was laughing. Chen Hui laughed and climbed to the front to drive, saying, "How about that? I told you, everyone would get excited, that's normal. Xiao Wei, on the other hand, isn't normal."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "I'm excited too, how could I not? Let's drive! Xiao Hong, sit down."

Xiao Hong got off Chen Xiao, sat down next to a pile of money, and touched it with her hand, asking, "How much is this? How come there's so much?"

Chen Xiao said, "You were just a little short of 300,000. Your Xiaowei's luck is really, really, just... well, you know."

Xiao Wei said, "Don't just talk about me, you guys were lucky too. You wouldn't have been able to come up with 100,000 without Xiao Hui's money."

Chen Hui, speaking from the front, said, "That's right, from now on my luck is really bad. Honey, shouldn't you sit in front and keep me company? What are you doing with them? Leaving me all alone in front."

Chen Xiao pouted, but still climbed into the front passenger seat. Chen Hui patted Chen Xiao's little hand with satisfaction and chuckled a few times.

Xia Maosheng sighed, "You're all so unique, but I'm all alone. All I see are the four of you being all lovey-dovey every day."

Chen Hui looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Simple, just do as I say, it'll definitely work."

The car drove into the heated warehouse and locked the door. Several people went upstairs to Old Chen's office.

Old Chen was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Several documents were piled on the coffee table. Being a high-ranking cadre is not easy. Every day, he was alone in the big office, constantly dealing with all kinds of endless documents. It was actually more tiring than doing physical labor.

Several people pushed the door open and came in. Old Chen looked up and asked, "The contract is signed? What's the deal with that transformer? Xiao Hong is here too. Don't you have class today?" Xiao Hong smiled and called out to Uncle Chen.

Chen Hui handed the contract to his father and said, "It's signed, five years, all the money has been paid in full, not a penny left. This is their application. The cold storage facility changed its manager and wanted to collect their water and electricity fees, 46,000 yuan a month, but they refused, so it's stuck there. The cold storage facility must be quite familiar with us down there."

Old Chen took the contract, flipped through it, and put it aside. He then looked at the lease agreement from Donglaishun, and finally looked at the application form. After putting the application form down, he took out a pen, signed his name on it, and said, "Some people down there are just talking nonsense. Why are they meddling in other people's business? They're not doing a deal worth over 200,000 yuan, but instead doing favors. Investigate and report it. Give this to Xiao Liu."

Old Chen handed Chen Hui the signed application form with his opinion on how to handle the matter, along with the lease agreement from Donglaishun, saying, "The company seal is with Xiao Liu. Take this contract to her for her to stamp as well. Don't let anything go wrong with the business."

Chen Hui said, "Dad, they gave us 100,000 yuan to handle this. Xiaowei accepted it." He waved the application form in his hand.

Old Chen was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's quite a move." He turned to look at Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei said, "This is for public relations and entertainment expenses, and it's for me. It's just a check, along with this procurement contract. They offered it to me voluntarily. They had already prepared this money. If the power company had taken on the job, they would have given it to them long ago." What he said made sense. Even if there were problems with this money in the future, it wouldn't be Chen Hui's fault.

Old Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright, you guys go ahead and do your work. I have something to do later." A public relations expense isn't a big deal. As long as it's handled well, it's fine. These days, every organization has a public relations and entertainment budget, including the power industry. The word "public relations" was also very popular in the 90s.

Several people came out with the contracts and went to the general office to find Sister Liu. Sister Liu was actually Old Chen's secretary, just not called that. Unlike in the government, male leaders in companies must be paired with male secretaries.

They stamped the contract, kept three copies for themselves, and gave the other three copies, along with the items from Donglaishun, to Sister Liu, asking her to hand them over when Donglaishun came to pick up the receipts and official documents. Then, the group went down to Jian'an Company.
