Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

When the skinny monkey heard this topic, he also became interested and squeezed next to Chen Yuan and winked: "Tell me, how many did you get?"

"It's really not much!" Chen Yuan sighed, "My brother brought 2,000 yuan with him, but now he has nothing left and hasn't received the goods yet. He sent these two watches back to you now."

"Brother Hu, do the math. One is worth a thousand. Do you still think you're at a disadvantage?"

"You are being cunning!" Hu Dabao nodded at Chen Yuan.

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Dabao coughed dryly and winked at Shouhou and Chen Yuan. They both stood up and followed Hu Dabao.

When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit. He looked very serious and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. There was a briefcase under his arm. Chen Yuan took a look and saw that it was made of real leather.

He smiled at Hu Dabao and glanced at Chen Yuan and Shouhou behind him: "Have you hired a new guy?"

Hu Dabao nodded and bowed to the middle-aged man: "Director Liu! This is my younger brother from my hometown. He can drive. Monkey was injured this time, so let him take over!"

When Director Liu heard that Chen Yuan could drive, his eyes lit up: "Not bad, you can drive!"

Hu Dabao sat on the sofa facing Director Liu. Director Liu looked straight ahead as if he didn't notice the two watches on the table. He was just worried about Skinny Monkey's injury.

Upon hearing that they had encountered oil thieves on the road, Director Liu sighed, "These people are just sitting there doing nothing. You drive cars all year round, and it's unbearable for you to keep running into something like this!"

Chen Yuan sat aside and observed Director Liu, who spoke in an old-fashioned way, without making any mistakes.

"Director Liu, I came here this time to ask you if you can approve the cigarette route for us." Hu Dabao rubbed his hands and asked embarrassedly.

"Dabao, I know you have ambition and ideas." Director Liu patted Hu Dabao on the shoulder. "Are you going to take the cigarettes or deliver them to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Under Director Liu's sharp gaze, Hu Dabao lowered his head. He thought for a moment and said, "Director Liu, although it's not allowed these days, it's really not easy for me to support my family with just my hands."

"Dabao, I told you before that speculation and profiteering are strictly prohibited!" Director Liu looked very serious, and Chen Yuan almost believed that he was a good official with strong principles.

Hu Dabao took two Rolexes and wanted to exchange them for a note, a note for a cigarette that was sold in a unified market. This was a good business with huge profits.

Cigarettes are always in short supply.

Even in later generations, if you want to sell cigarettes, you need a license.

Just to get the certificate, you have to go through a lot of connections and find a lot of people.

Hu Dabao is very ambitious. If he can take over the cigarette line, his black market business will be gone.

"Director Liu, I know. I will definitely not violate the regulations, nor will I embarrass you. I come to Xuzhou many times, and every time I go there, I transport goods. I'm involved in transportation."

Hu Dabao looked at Shouhou and said, "It's not that easy to get into a factory now. My brothers are all in the village. We definitely can't do without a way out in the future."

Director Liu nodded and said, "Big Bao, if you're willing, I can still be your driver. When you come to Xuzhou next time, I'll have someone deliver some seasonal vegetables and grains to you. This way, your trip won't be in vain."

"But I can't decide about the cigarettes." Director Liu shook his head firmly and refused Hu Dabao. "Dabao, I've known you for so many years. If I can help you, I will definitely help you, but I can't ask for things that I can't do."

Hu Dabao's face froze. "Is it Director Yao's place?"

"Although I can write the note, Director Yao is the decision-maker." Director Liu stood up. "Director Yao also has a nephew who wants to take this path. Who do you think is the right person to give it to?"

Director Liu shook his head: "Da Bao, I'm leaving first."

Seeing that Director Liu was about to leave, Hu Dabao quickly stuffed the two Rolexes on the table into Director Liu's open briefcase.

"Director Liu, I won't be able to wear two watches. One for you and your sister-in-law!" Hu Dabao's heart was bleeding, but his expression of flattery was just right. "We are in Xuzhou, thanks to you."

Director Liu declined several times, then accepted it and said to Hu Dabao, "Dabao, you always make it difficult for me like this!"

Hu Dabao lowered his head and escorted Director Liu out.

Chen Yuan looked at the skinny monkey who was sitting on the sofa in a depressed mood.

"Brother Hu came here just for this matter. Now the watch has been delivered, but the matter has not been completed!"

Skinny Monkey complained.

Hu Dabao came in from outside and looked at the skinny monkey who was complaining.

He was also feeling suffocated, but there was nothing he could do.

Director Liu was a connection he had finally managed to establish, and he happened to be in charge of material transportation. Originally, the cigarette transportation case could be taken down by dealing with Director Liu, but then Director Yao's nephew suddenly appeared...

"Brother Hu, is this guy trying to frame us?"

The skinny monkey didn't believe it. How could it be such a coincidence?

They had almost finished the negotiation with Director Liu, and for this, Hu Dabao sent a lot of good wine and gave Director Liu the highest commission. Otherwise, with Director Liu's fixed salary, they would not be able to maintain such high expenses for their family.

Hu Dabao had been Director Liu's blood bag for such a long time, but in the end he was fooled by Director Liu.

Hu Dabao clenched his fists and sat on the sofa, looking at Shouhou: "Monkey, Director Liu said so..."

"Brother Hu, why don't we go meet Director Yao?" Chen Yuan suggested. He was quite interested in the cigarette business. "Regardless of whether what Director Liu said is true or not, let's go to Director Yao and ask him. Maybe we can find a way."

"Director Yao? How can we just meet him when we say so?" The skinny monkey raised his voice. "Just for Director Liu, Brother Hu spent nearly half a year trying to hook up with him. How can we find Director Yao just by saying so?"

"Brother Hu, how will we know if we don't try?" Chen Yuan ignored Shouhou's frustration. He felt that Director Yao would at most reject them. This was not a loss, so why not give it a try?

Hu Dabao nodded. He had already given out his expensive gift, but he had no idea what to give Director Yao.

"Chen Yuan, let's go to Haizhou City with you to find your brother first. The cigarette issue can't be handled for the time being."

Hu Dabao got up and packed his luggage.

Since I can’t think of a solution for the time being when I stay in Xuzhou, I might as well go and save lives with Chen Yuan.

Skinny Monkey was quite enthusiastic about going to Haizhou City: "Chen Yuan, your business is more important."

Haizhou City is only a two-hour drive from Xuzhou. The three of them had a simple meal and arrived in Haizhou City in the afternoon.

Chen Yuan found the bungalow where Li Shanghai and his friends were temporarily staying according to the address on the letter.

This is a staff family compound.

It is a house allocated to employees of a nearby machinery factory.

Because they were an elderly couple and their children had all moved out, there was a storage room in the backyard that was just right for Li Shanghai and his family to live in.

When Chen Yuan knocked on the door, it was the old lady of the house who opened it. She was wearing a floral shirt and looked very energetic and neat.
