Three Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Financial Constraints
As soon as the phone was connected, Wang Jie hurriedly said, "Dongzi, have you left yet?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "I've already entered Dongping, do you think I've left?"
"you arrived?"
"Why, don't you believe me?"
Wang Jie quickly said: "No, it's just that I didn't expect you to come so soon."
After Wang Jie finished speaking, he said: "Then you come directly to Cuiwei District, and I will wait for you at the door."
"Cuiwei District?"
Wang Jie said: "The wedding room is here. I forgot to tell you. After the Internet cafe was demolished, I paid the down payment and bought a two-bedroom apartment. Now I am busy here."
Li Dong said, "That's fine, I'll be right there."
...
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong instructed Tan Yong to drive the car to Cuiwei District.
Dongping County is not big, and within ten minutes, the car stopped at the gate of Cuiwei Community.
Wang Jie was standing at the gate of the community looking around, until Li Dong got off the car, Wang Jie said in surprise: "Aren't you a big Ben? When did you change the car?"
Li Dong said with a smile: "It's been a while, did you see it last time?"
"What do you say?"
Wang Jie rolled his eyes, ignored Li Dong, and walked around the Maybach instead.
The more he looked at it, the more itchy Wang Jie became, and after a while he said, "Dongzi, can you help me?"
When Li Dong saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Want to borrow it as a wedding car?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Wang Jie coughed dryly, and smiled embarrassedly: "Will it work? Because of the tight budget for this wedding, I rented an A6 as the lead car, and the rest are A4. It is enough in the county, but the key Don't you have a ready-made car, how about raising my face?"
Li Dong suddenly smiled and said, "What's the matter? You didn't look for me before, so I thought you didn't like my car. Now that you've said that, let's use the car."
Wang Jie was overjoyed when he heard the words,
He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, you're big enough now! Maybach, no matter where you go to pick up the bride, it's enough."
Li Dong laughed again, and said after laughing: "Okay, this is a trivial matter, go to your new house to see, how is the layout?"
"That's it. My cousins and cousins are busy working, and Wu Mei's sister and a cousin are also helping out. I don't need to intervene."
Wang Jie didn't have any idea about the layout of the wedding room, so he changed the topic after talking about it, "Dongzi, let's eat something casually at noon, and how many students are coming over to have dinner together in the evening?"
"Which students?"
"Wang Xiang, Li Yuan, Huang Yutao...there are Yuan Xue and Chen Yue."
Li Dong was not too surprised that Yuan Xue came to attend Wang Jie's wedding. After all, Yuan Xue is fine now and had a good relationship with Wang Jie before. It is normal to attend his wedding.
But when it came to Chen Yue, Li Dong couldn't help but joked: "You are good enough, if you let your ex-girlfriend come to the wedding, you won't be afraid of making trouble?"
Wang Jie smiled wryly and said: "It's not that I asked her to come here. I posted a message in the high school group, saying that if you are free, you can come and have a meal. I thought she was going to school in the capital, and the distance is quite far. Now There was no holiday either, who knew she called me and said she would come too."
"I'll go, the one who asked to come here won't really make a scene, right?" Li Dong said hastily.
Wang Jie shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be so. Besides, she dumped me, and if I want to make trouble, I should make trouble. When will she make trouble at my wedding?"
"You have to be on guard. Don't make any troubles and everyone will be unhappy. I will go to dinner at night and try her reaction."
"Then I would like to thank you, old man."
The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the downstairs of Wang Jie's new house.
Cuiwei Community is not considered a new community. It has been built for about six or seven years. Wang Jie bought a second-hand house this time.
The house is a six-story low-rise without an elevator, and Wang Jie's house is on the third floor.
The two went upstairs, just as Wang Jie was about to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
The door was opened by a 27-year-old young woman. As soon as she saw Wang Jie, the young woman complained: "I said cousin husband, you are too picky. I just saw Xiyan. How many knots can a person make in a lifetime?" The second marriage, didn’t you say you bought Zhonghua? I saw it just now, why are they all Yuxi?”
Wang Jie remained silent with a livid face. Behind the young woman, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl hurriedly said, "Cousin, this was made by my sister, and my brother-in-law didn't know about it. It's all done. It's useless to talk about it now."
The young woman persisted and said: "Why is it useless? Yuxi has retired, go buy Zhonghua now! What do you know about movies, you little girl? Your sister marrying him is already shameful enough, and you have lost face. In the future Who can look down on your sister?"
Wang Jie, who was silent before, couldn't help humming at this moment: "Why is it embarrassing for Wu Mei to marry me?"
The young woman said unhappily: "It's not embarrassing enough to be pregnant before marriage? Marrying with a big belly, if I am my second aunt, I will definitely not agree to it!"
Wang Jie's face turned green and pale when he heard the words. The atmosphere here in Dongping is still relatively conservative, and it's really not good to get married with a big belly.
But Wu Mei's cousin is a little too exaggerated. In fact, Wu Mei is only three months pregnant now, and it is impossible to tell that she is pregnant without looking carefully.
Wu Mei's parents didn't have any objections, and it was her cousin's turn to speak.
Wang Jie wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, let it go, it's useless to make a fuss on a happy day.
Ignoring the other party, Wang Jie forced a smile to Li Dong and said, "Dongzi, don't you want to see my new house, go in and have a look."
But before Li Dong came in, Wu Mei's cousin spoke again, "Wang Jie, can you stop making trouble, the wedding room has just been furnished, and the floor is dragged..."
"Step aside!"
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Jie suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "This is the house I bought, it's your turn to decide?"
Wu Mei's cousin was taken aback, and then turned into anger from embarrassment: "Okay, I can't help you, right? You can, you can do it yourself, I don't bother to meddle in your business!"
After saying this, Wu Mei's cousin didn't stop, and Li Dong, who pushed the door open, went straight downstairs.
Li Dong looked helpless, touched his nose and said nothing.
Wang Jie's face was not very good-looking, and he took a deep breath before saying to Li Dong: "Dongzi, let you see a joke."
Li Dong shook his head, and said softly: "It's okay, let's go in and talk about it."
After speaking, he dragged Wang Jie into the room together. There were still many people in the room, but at the moment, no one dared to speak, and everyone was busy and careful.
Wu Mei's younger sister glanced at Li Dong, then at Wang Jie, and finally said, "Brother-in-law, then I'll go back first, my sister still has something to do with me."
Wang Jie nodded and said: "Be careful on the road, and don't forget to tell your sister when you get back, just say that Li Dong is here."
"Well, I see." The little girl looked at Li Dong deliberately again, thinking that this person's brother-in-law's sudden anger should be related to this person, and she felt a little bit of resentment and curiosity at the same time.
But according to what my brother-in-law said, my sister should know Li Dong as well, so I'll know when I go back and ask.
The little girl didn't stay long, greeted the others, and went downstairs with her small bag.
...
Li Dong and Wang Jie walked around the wedding room.
Although the house is second-hand, it has been renovated and looks good.
Li Dong also saw a few big cardboard boxes on the side of the bedroom, which were filled with wedding candies and cigarettes. Just like what cousin Wu Mei said, the cigarettes are all from Yuxi.
Regardless of the underdeveloped economy here in Dongping, the ostentation of doing business is not small. Generally, people who are a little passable will definitely use Chinese to get married.
Now that Wang Jie is using Yuxi, it is obviously a bit of a loss.
Li Dong took a look and asked, "Finance is tight?"
Wang Jie shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just don't want to waste too much."
"I want to save face and suffer!"
Li Dong cursed with a smile, didn't say anything, took out his mobile phone and called Tan Yong.
After listening for a while, Wang Jie said helplessly: "You can buy it, but I will give you the money later. If I use your money for the wedding, it will be too useless."
"up to you."
Li Dong didn't care, and looked at it for a while before saying, "Is there any problem with Wu Mei? Her family objected?"
"That's not true. Her parents are very talkative, but her aunt and third uncle are not happy. But this is my life with Wu Mei, not with them. We can just do what we want, and we don't bother to talk to them."
"Did you tell me why you don't like you?"
"I don't have any money, what else can I do? Plus the Internet cafe is closed, and I have nothing to do recently. I have been planning to open an online store, and they think I don't have a serious job, and I am not worthy of Wu Mei."
Speaking of which, Wang Jie glanced at Li Dong resentfully and said, "You can't get away with this matter. I asked you to take care of Wu Mei, but when did I ask you to promote her? She only has a one-year and five-year system. Not long after entering Yuanfang, if you let her be the deputy financial manager, aren't you afraid that she will mess it up?"
"Deputy Financial Manager?"
Li Dong was stunned, and it took him a long time to say: "This has something to do with me, do you think I will specially say hello and promote her? Besides, I am so busy now, how can I have the time to care who the deputy financial manager of a branch is?" , maybe your Wu Mei is capable of doing it herself."
"Come on, this matter has something to do with you. Meizi told me that since she came back from the annual meeting, their store manager has given her a high look. It must be that you showed your feet during the annual meeting."
"Fuck you!" Li Dong scolded with a smile: "Don't care if it has something to do with me, there is something wrong with promoting your wife? You can have fun secretly, and you have the nerve to blame me."
Wang Jie said awkwardly: "The key point is that we are not married. She has a high status now, and there is a well-known big company in the distance. It is normal for her relatives to look down on me."
"Then work hard, big man, what are you afraid of." Li Dong continued: "Didn't you say that you are going to open an online store? Open it as soon as possible. If you don't seize the opportunity at this time, you will miss it if you miss it."
"I'm preparing, and I'm short of money. When I get paid for this wedding, I'll have money to start working." Wang Jie said with a smile.
Li Dong was speechless for a while, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
The two chatted in the room for a while, and there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door outside.
Wang Jie's cousin opened the door, and saw a stranger standing at the door carrying a large cardboard box.
Wang Jie's cousin asked a little strangely, "Who are you looking for?"
Tan Yong smiled and said, "Mr. Wang lives here, right? I'm giving him wedding cigarettes."
As soon as he heard that it was a gift of happy cigarettes, cousin Wang Jie quickly took a look inside the box. He could tell what kind of cigarettes it was because of the bright red shell.
Thinking of what his cousin's cousin said just now, cousin Wang Jie thought he understood his cousin's thoughts, and quickly shouted to the inside: "Brother Jie, the cigarettes you want are here!"
Wang Jie, who was chatting with Li Dong, hurried out of the house when he heard it. When he saw Tan Yong, Wang Jie hurriedly said, "Thank you, please."
Tan Yong smiled, nodded to Li Dong, and then said: "Mr. Wang, if it's okay, I'll go down first."
"Sit down for a while and drink a glass of water..."
"It's really unnecessary, the car is still downstairs, no one is staring at me and I don't worry."
As soon as he heard Tan Yong talking about the car, Wang Jie didn't persuade him anymore. After all, the community is not very safe here. If some naughty child marks him a few times, it would be a big loss.
After sending Tan Yong downstairs and coming back, Wang Jie's cousin had already moved the cardboard box inside.
Seeing Wang Jie enter the door, Wang Jie's cousin immediately smiled and said, "Brother Jie, you've done a great job! Twenty Chinese, or soft Chinese, we've earned back all the face!"
One of Wang Jie's cousins said with distressed face: "Brother Jie, even if you want to slap the Wu family in the face, you don't need to spend so much money."
"Get out! Why is the Wu family not the Wu family? It's your sister-in-law's family. Why do you talk about it? Why should I slap the Wu family in the face? You know what the brat knows, so let's go!"
Wang Jie dismissed a few people impatiently, and said to Li Dong who was standing aside with a chuckle: "Don't stand there, go to eat first, and then you can tidy up yourself, didn't you agree to be my best man? It's all ready for you, see if it fits."
"It's just my clothes?" Li Dong raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Wang Jie glanced at it, finally nodded and said: "It's okay, you guys wear such good clothes, don't steal my limelight then."
"Do I have to rely on clothes to steal your limelight? I'm more handsome than you, and you asked me to be your best man because you were looking for abuse."
"Can you be thicker-skinned?"
"I'm not telling the truth?"
"The old ancestor was right. The richer you are, the thicker your skin will be."
"Which ancestor said this sentence, can you tell me?"
"..."
At noon, Li Dong and Wang Jie had a simple meal. In the afternoon, Wang Jie still had a lot of work to do, and he didn't have time to entertain Li Dong, so Li Dong went out for a walk by himself.
Dongping hasn't been back for a while, so the change is not too big.
Wang Jie's Jiejie Internet Cafe was demolished not long ago, and that area is currently under construction. It seems that the plan for the commercial street has begun to continue.
The only change from the previous life is probably that there is one less Feng family in Dongping, and one more distant supermarket.
Li Dong walked around the street for a while, but didn't meet anyone he knew, and finally lost interest, and found a teahouse to sit for half an afternoon.
After five o'clock, Wang Jie called him and said that all his classmates had arrived.
Now everyone is in the Cuiwei community, and we will go to the restaurant together later, and ask Li Dong whether to go directly to the restaurant or go back to the Cuiwei community.
Li Dong didn't go to Cuiwei's side, and hung up the phone when he said that he would go to the restaurant by himself.
Thinking that Yuan Xue would be there later, Li Dong didn't know what it was like for him, so he finally left the teahouse with a sigh.
