“Xiao Zhao! You must have waited for a long time! I’m really sorry!” Li Gui rushed over from afar in a hurry.
Zhao Fei handed the bottle to Li Gui first and said with a smile, “Sister, I only just arrived too. Let’s go to the restaurant first. The weather is really too cold.”
“This thing is still warm! Xiao Zhao, you’re too considerate!” Li Gui said, feeling touched.
Although Zhao Fei said that he had just arrived, Li Gui was not a fool. There was already a thin layer of snow on his shoulders. She thought that he was quite a good kid.
Qiao Mei told Li Gui that if Zhao Fei paid for this meal, then there was room for discussion about the collaboration. It would be possible for them to do business together. If Zhao Fei did not pay for the meal, then there was no need to continue discussing the collaboration.
At first, Li Gui had a different opinion. They were the ones asking Zhao Fei for help with the sales at the moment, so they should be the ones paying for this meal.
Later on, Qiao Mei persuaded her in detail that this business was profitable for whoever worked with them. There would be many people rushing to ask their family to supply goods to them. Even if they did not supply to Zhao Fei, there would be others coming to buy it. There was no need for them to lower their status so much.
If Zhao Fei was not even willing to treat her to a meal, then his experience of more than 10 years in business would be for naught. If he did not even know the basics of the way of the world, then he would not be the best candidate for them to work with.
“Sister, this restaurant is a little small. Take a look and see if you want to eat here. If you don’t like the food, we can go to another restaurant,” Zhao Fei said as he pointed at the nearest restaurant.
“It’s fine, it’s fine! This one is good enough! Let’s go in!” Li Gui said.
As soon as the two of them pushed open the door, they were stunned by the lively scene inside. Although the shop was relatively small, the food smelt authentic and there were no empty tables available. The boss had to add another table in the corner for Zhao Fei and Li Gui so that they could have a seat.
Zhao Fei handed the menu to Li Gui and said, “Sister, order whatever you like! It’s on me today!”
Li Gui quickly declined and said, “I don’t know how to order either. I’m not picky about food. It’s better that you order.”
Seeing Li Gui’s expression, Zhao Fei did not decline further. He ordered all the nicest dishes on the menu. There were a total of eight dishes for the two of them, and five of them were meat dishes.
“Did we order too much? The two of us won’t be able to finish everything,” Li Gui asked.
“No! I still feel that we ordered too little! Sister, just eat as much as you want!” Zhao Fei said agitatedly.
The people around had already started to notice them. After all, everyone was traveling in small groups and would at most order three dishes. It was difficult not to attract attention when Zhao Fei was being so extravagant.
“I wonder what you think about the work that we discussed?” Li Gui asked tactfully.
Li Gui could not speak too bluntly. After all, what they were doing was not something lawful. If someone with ulterior motives overheard their conversation, they could get into trouble.
“As long as Sister is willing to help me, I’ll definitely do my best! I definitely won’t disappoint you!” Zhao Fei said with a grin.
As soon as Zhao Fei said that, the people around turned to look at him. They did not read too much into the situation. They guessed that this older woman was retiring and this young man was taking over her job.
After all, people were allowed to take over jobs at the factories. Typically, parents would let their children take over their positions and continue working. Some people would also hand over their job to others as long as they received more benefits.
For people who had worked their entire lives in the factories, the factories would still give them this bit of leeway. It did not matter who took the job, as long as someone did it. The factory was not picky about this.
Therefore, everyone was used to such things and now understood why Zhao Fei had ordered so many dishes. After all, a good job would mean a lifetime of wealth and glory. If this older woman was more capable and able to give this young man an easy and well paying job, he would not have to worry about his finances for the rest of his life.
The bill for this meal was nothing compared to that. If it were any of them, they would also order as many dishes. Some people would probably even add on a bottle of good wine!
“There’s no issue as long as you don’t mind,” Li Gui said.
Zhao Fei quickly poured a drink for Li Gui and said, “Why would I mind? Sister, you’re sincerely treating me well by handing it to me. I can’t be happier. As long as Sister trusts me, I definitely won’t let you down.”
