Chapter 907: Call Me Good Brother
Looking at Zhou Andong's sneaky appearance, Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
"What do you understand?"
Zhou Andong said with a grin, "Call me good brother, and I'll tell you."
"Get lost!" Jian Qiu kicked Zhou Andong. "Don't tell me then."
"If you don't call me, forget it, why are you getting angry?" Zhou Andong held Jian Qiu's hand shamelessly. "What to eat, my treat!"
For this shameless rascal Zhou Andong, Jian Qiu had no way at all.
"You eat braised intestines, I haven't eaten them for a long time either."
"Fine!" Zhou Andong said to the fifty-something-year-old woman selling braised intestines. "Auntie, two bowls of braised intestines."
"Good!" The auntie clamped a piece of fatty intestine, put it on the chopping board, and chopped it with a knife.
Zhou Andong leaned against the counter and said to Jian Qiu, "Your old uncle is in Dongguan. Reform and opening up, what it brought to the city and the people, he is in the middle of it, feeling it most deeply, and seeing it more clearly than others.
And I, am a businessman. Your old uncle is very optimistic about my future, so he thinks that the help I bring to your family in the future is not comparable to those so-called second and third generations.
He openly supports us, just to act as a shock absorber between me and the Jian family, avoiding us from being too stiff and uncontrollable in the future.
Even if we really can't be together due to pressure, I definitely have to accept this favor of his. When he needs it in the future, shouldn't I support him?"
Jian Qiu nodded. "This is indeed his style of doing things."
Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Fortunately, your eldest uncle, third uncle, and two aunts are not very smart, otherwise it would be troublesome to deal with them."
Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him. "Auntie, how is your business?"
"Very good!" The auntie skillfully cut two bowls of braised intestines and poured sauce on them. "Before, it was just me and my old man, pushing a cart and selling on the side of the road. It was okay in summer, although exposed to wind and sun, it wasn't suffering.
Winter was not okay, the suffering was unbearable. Sometimes my feet were numb from the cold, and they were all cracked. When I went home and washed my feet with warm water, I shivered all over.
Now it's good, I have a stall here, no wind and no sun, and I don't have to freeze in winter. Moreover, the braised intestines sold here in one day can equal more than half a month before."
While talking, the auntie skillfully chopped three more bowls of braised intestines. It seemed the business was truly good.
Zhou Andong didn't rush to go back. "Is it because of RT-Mart's publicity that you saw the advertisement and came to rent the stall?"
"No!" The auntie shook her head. "A month ago, a young man ate braised intestines here, said it was delicious and authentic, and told me to come to RT-Mart. He told me that I could sign a half-year contract first.
This half-year only has a rebate, no other fees. When the half-year contract expires, if I sign again, I have to pay two hundred yuan a month for entry fees, management fees, etc.
At that time, I was startled. I don't understand what a rebate is, but I know I can't earn two hundred yuan a month, so I went back at night and told my son about this matter.
My son said, anyway, there are no fees for half a year, so I can come and try. I thought it was the same thing, then my son and daughter-in-law came, and I don't know how they talked, but the contract was signed."
Zhou Andong laughed. "Regret it?"
The auntie also laughed, her smile looking very bright. "No regret. Don't say pay two hundred yuan a month, even if it's five hundred yuan, I'm willing."
Zhou Andong laughed out loud. This auntie was truly honest. "Auntie, you can't say this again, what if the supermarket boss hears it and really makes you pay five hundred."
The auntie waved her hand. "No, yesterday Manager Tang held a meeting for us, saying that business is good these few days because the goods in the supermarket are discounted when it opens. After the activity ends, business will fall back.
The supermarket will calculate and collect entry fees and management fees based on normal passenger flow. Two hundred yuan is the highest, it can only decrease and not rise again."
In just this short while, the customers buying braised intestines had already lined up, and the knife in the auntie's hand was flying.
"Auntie, you are busy enough alone."
The auntie said without raising her head. "The activity is about to end, my son and daughter-in-law went to buy things, I estimate they will be back soon."
"Fine, you get busy, I won't chat anymore!"
Zhou Andong carried the two bowls of braised intestines and returned with Jian Qiu. At this time, almost the entire dining area was full. Fortunately, Jian Mingfan and Jian Yue occupied seats for them, otherwise it would have been hard to find.
"Old Uncle, Old Aunt, we'll sit here and eat, we'll talk later."
Zhou Andong put the braised intestines on the table and said to Jian Zhengrong and Zhao Ping who were a few seats away.
"Good, you eat first!" Zhao Ping replied with a smile.
Zhou Andong sat down and said to Jian Yue, "Thank you guys!"
"Just thank me with empty words?" Jian Yue held the Walkman she just bought. "It cost me over two thousand, can you let the merchant give me a discount?"
"No!" Zhou Andong didn't hesitate at all. "Don't say you've already paid, even if you hadn't, whatever discount they give is whatever it is."
"Cut!" Jian Yue looked at Zhou Andong with great contempt. "I'm a more realistic person, don't say empty thanks in the future, it's boring!"
"Okay, I definitely won't say it in the future." Zhou Andong ate a piece of fatty intestine, looking very satisfied. "So fragrant!"
Jian Yue looked stunned. How can this be, shouldn't you be ashamed?
You are Zhou Andong, the famous Zhou Andong, such a person with a face, how can you be shameless?
I didn't let you say it, not because I really didn't let you say it, but to let you understand that thanks should be supported by something practical.
Looking at the depressed Jian Yue, Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh lightly.
And this scene was all seen by Jian Zhengrong and Zhao Ping. The two looked at each other.
"A powerful opponent is not terrible, what's terrible is that this opponent is not only powerful but also shameless."
Jian Zhengrong said softly, then sighed. "Zhou Andong is very young, but the feeling he gives me is an old monster who has been rolling in society for decades.
Don't say Minglang, even if Mingye and Mingjie were tied together, they might not be Zhou Andong's opponents."
"It's not that exaggerated." Zhao Ping glanced at Zhou Andong. "I admit, this kid is indeed quite powerful. Born in a farming family, he fought his way out with bare hands.
If it were Minglang, there is indeed a big gap with Zhou Andong, but to say Mingye and Mingjie are not as good as Zhou Andong, I disagree."
Jian Zhengrong asked with a smile, "Don't you look down on everyone except Mingliang and Xiao Yue?"
"Looking down on them is one thing." Zhao Ping said. "This is seeking truth from facts."
"What you see, what you understand is only the surface." Jian Zhengrong shook his head slightly. "You should ponder carefully, just from the words he said at the beginning, you know how difficult this kid is to deal with." ===== CHAPTER 908 =====
