Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Why Don’t You Say I Can Fly to the Sky?

Ning Ziping brought Wang Hailan into the small diner opposite the supply and marketing cooperative. Upon entering, they were met with enthusiastic service. "What would the two of you like to eat?"

This was much more enthusiastic than the state-owned restaurants. Ning Ziping glanced at the menu posted on the wall, "One plate of shredded pork with hot peppers, one plate of home-style tofu, and two bowls of noodles with soy sauce gravy."

The waiter relayed the order to the kitchen and brought a pot of water for the couple, "Have some water first."

Wang Hailan felt some disdain but didn’t dare to be too picky. She used the water from the pot to rinse the cups and then poured two cups of water, handing one to Ning Ziping, "Ziping, where are we headed next?"

Ning Ziping took a sip of water, "We’ll head back to the village later to ask the village officials; they are bound to know something. I originally thought that since he was transferred from the agricultural machinery station, people here would definitely be clear about it, but it seems I was wrong.

"We’ll buy some things later and ask around in the village again. If they don’t know either, then we can only try our luck in the city."

On the other side, Luo Qiao lazily picked up the phone on the couch, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"President Luo, it’s me, Hu Dongxiong."

"Why are you calling? Is there something you need?"

"There is something I need to report to you."

"Go ahead."

"A few days ago, when I was out on business, the Suzhou Base urgently paged me three times. When I called back, the person in charge told me that Chang Qing’s daughter, Chang Wanyi, had come over, saying that a friend’s family was hosting a celebration and wanted to use Yipin’s vegetables, so I agreed.

"But to my surprise, after the vegetables were packed, Chang Wanyi didn’t mention paying at all and just got people to drive off. The staff stopped them and wouldn’t let them leave. She said that her dad helped us get land, so taking some vegetables should be considered compensation.

"When I received the call, I thought it was best not to escalate the situation, so I let them let her go, thinking that I would personally visit the Chang Family later and talk to Chang Qing about it. But I got delayed because of other matters.

"I didn’t expect that today Chang Wanyi would come again, this time driving a large double-cab truck. I’m not clear on what kind of relationship you want to maintain with them, so I didn’t dare to handle it rashly."

Luo Qiao sneered, "So they see me as an easy mark? Call Chang Qing and tell him to come over and settle the bill for the vegetables they took last time. Since when has Yipin ever given credit?"

Hu Dongxiong understood, "Got it. I’ll call right away."

Chang Qing, who was busy working, paused for a second when he got the call. When the person on the other line mentioned Yipin, he realized who it was, "What’s the matter with you calling?"

Hu Dongxiong briefly explained the situation, "We at Yipin have never given credit. Last time was out of respect for you. Today your daughter brought people with a large double-cab truck. I assume the money involved won’t be small. Do you think you could come over personally? Because if we record such a large amount, we’re afraid there will be trouble, and we hope for your understanding."

Chang Qing’s face darkened on the other end of the line, "I’ll be there right away. How much was the vegetable debt from last time?"

Hu Dongxiong looked at the slip in his hand, "Last time wasn’t much, a total of 332.7 yuan. Just make it an even 300."

Chang Qing, on the other end of the phone, if Chang Wanyi were in front of him, would definitely want to give her a talking-to.

After hanging up the phone and seeing he only had twelve yuan on him, he hurriedly borrowed from colleagues, but he still couldn’t raise enough.

With no other options, he went to the finance department, obtained an advance on his salary, and barely scraped together the 330 yuan. He figured that rounding down would be acceptable, but it would really be too embarrassing to ask them to discount over thirty yuan.

When he arrived at Yipin Base, flustered and exasperated, he saw his daughter berating someone, "My dad is her benefactor. She was only able to secure that suburban land with my dad’s help, and now what? Turning your back on us as soon as things go south? Such ingratitude."

She wanted to say more but was cut off by a slap from behind, "I really didn’t know I had such an ability, to help others get their land. Why don’t you say that I can ascend to heaven while you’re at it?"

Chang Wanyi, seeing clearly who had slapped her, widened her eyes in shock; she didn’t expect her own father to have arrived.
