Chapter 554: Chapter 429 – respect me by a foot (2)
Xia ruofei thought for a while and said,”that works too!” After this batch of maple fights is done, I’ll pick a few people to come back with your Masters and let them study here. ”
Then, Xia ruofei continued,”however, before our people finish their apprenticeship, we will still settle the fees according to the rules. This is my bottom line. If you still don’t agree, I’d rather find someone else to help!”
Qian Lijun and his father looked at each other before he helplessly shook his head and said,”Alright then! You’re still the same as when you were in the Army, a stubborn donkey!”
“This is called sticking to principles!” Xia ruofei grinned.
After they finished talking about business, dinner was ready, so boss Qian and his son invited everyone to the table for dinner.
Naturally, there were many toasts during the banquet. Especially since Xia ruofei and Qian Lijun had not seen each other for many years, their friendship was reflected in the wine glasses.
Back then, Qian Lijun’s small body was relatively weak, and his alcohol tolerance was average. Xia ruofei’s alcohol tolerance was already quite good back then. Now that he had taken so much body tempering soup, he was even more fierce.
Very soon, Qian Lijun went under the table while drinking.
Boss Qian and CEO Lin also drank a lot, so everyone was happy.
There were still about an hour before the boarding time. Xia ruofei simply brought old Luo to change their boarding pass and waited in the waiting hall.
Old Luo’s master was in his 50s. He had been working in the Dendrobium base all year round, so his skin was dark and there were many wrinkles on his face.
However, old Luo’s master was quite talkative, especially when it came to the iron – skinned fengdou. He was even more eloquent. Xia ruofei was not one to put on airs, so while waiting to board the plane, the two of them had a good chat.
As they were chatting, Xia ruofei suddenly asked,””Oh right, master Luo, I heard from CEO Lin yesterday that uncle Qian’s business used to be quite big?”
“Isn’t that so!” Master Luo sighed.”Don’t think that the Dendrobium candidly grow well these past two years! A few years back, our boss was really down and out ...”
Hearing this, Xia ruofei felt that there was a story behind this!
He wasn’t someone who liked to gossip, but he was bored while waiting for the plane, so he couldn’t help but ask curiously,””Master Luo, then what happened a few years ago?”
Master Luo said,”if you ask someone else, they might not know. But I’ve been working in their Dendrobium base for more than ten years. I still know a little about the Qian family!”
Xia ruofei nodded and listened to master Luo attentively.
Master Luo continued,”our boss started his business with Chinese medicinal herbs. This iron – Skin Dendrobium base is only a small business. When our boss was at his peak, his assets were over a hundred million!”
Xia ruofei knew that master Luo wasn’t boasting about how Qian Lijun was a rich young master back then! He remembered that when they had first arrived at the recruit company, the platoon leader had checked everyone’s luggage. That guy had a big bag full of branded clothes, snacks, and all kinds of small electrical appliances, including mobile phones, game consoles, and Bluetooth earphones.
After this reunion, Xia ruofei could clearly feel the change in Qian Lijun. He was no longer the young master who was not diligent and could not differentiate between food and drink. It was obvious that he often helped out with the household chores. His hands were obviously rough.
