Back to 80s bride

Chapter 74 Acquaintances

The spring breeze of private ownership has just blown, but it has not blown all over the streets and alleys of Huaguo. Many people are still unaware of the importance of advertising on the radio at this time.Most people still hold the old-fashioned impression that only workers have the highest social status, and those who do business are poor people who can't afford food and have nowhere to go.As a result, radio advertisements did not receive much attention, and the director of the radio station was worried when he looked at the financial statements of the last quarter.

"Director, there are two young people who want to rent our advertising space." The director of the advertising department hurried into the director's office with a beaming face.

The head of the station swept away his sorrow, and immediately smiled, "This is a good thing, what are you doing looking for me, why don't you sign the contract quickly, don't let people run away in a while."

The joy on the director's face was gone, he looked at the director with a tangled look and said, "I would like to sign the contract with them immediately, but these two kids proposed to insert an advertisement in Yue Fei's biography during our evening prime time."

"What do you mean?" The director frowned slightly.

"It is to insert an advertisement of theirs in the middle of the storytelling, and then continue to talk about Yue Fei's biography."

It turns out that the advertisements at this moment are all played before and after the program, and there is no precedent for intervening in the middle.The request made by Chen Minghui was never encountered by the radio station, so for a while the director couldn't make the decision, so he came to ask the director to make the decision.

The director hesitated for a while, and finally his eyes fell on the contract, and he made a decision immediately, "Add money, [-] a month, if you agree, we will sign the contract."

"Yes." Chen Minghui nodded. This price is within his acceptable range. Don't look at it as a lot, but if the advertising effect is good and the brand is accepted by consumers, this advertising fee is basically a small amount of money.

"Then let's sign the contract now," the director tentatively said.

Chen Minghui nodded, Qian Yu took off the schoolbag he was carrying, and handed 3000 yuan to the director. After the director counted it, wrinkles appeared on his fat face.

"Comrade, we can offer a yearly contract here. If you make a yearly contract, it will be cheaper for you."

Chen Minghui really wanted to pay for a year, but he didn't have enough money. Besides, if he only pays for a month, he can see how effective the radio advertisements are in this era. Consider the yearly issue.

"Let's look at the advertising effect first."

"It should be, it should be." The director rolled his eyes and squinted. He didn't expect that although these two children were young, they were not easy to fool, and they had their own ideas in their hearts.

The prime-time spot is popular, and people come and ask.But because of the price, many people just ask, and the rest will only rent for a period of time, not all year round.So the radio station has always wanted a stable customer. It was not a coincidence that Chen Minghui was able to rent it, but because he was willing to take money and use the price to suppress other merchants.

After signing the contract, wait for the radio station's commercial break next month to see how it works.

In March, when Chen Minghui's advertisement was broadcast, Chen Minghui and Qian Yu put down their pens and papers early, stopped listening to English, and stayed in front of the radio to listen to storytelling.Storytelling often takes half an hour, and halfway through the story, an advertisement is suddenly inserted.

"You look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs. Mingyu Clothing Store, you who make the scenery!"

Although there are only a few words, it is concise and straightforward, and it is during the prime time. Soon this shortened advertisement became the advertisement that was sung in the streets and alleys, and many people also knew about Mingyu Clothing.

In just half a month, the income of the clothing store has tripled compared with the previous month.

"Boss." Seeing Chen Minghui and Qian Yu approaching, Zhu Xinlei put down the pen and paper in his hand, and he was drawing a new pattern. "I think we should separate our own clothing from other manufacturers' clothing from Haishi. Although we advertised clothing stores on the radio station, I think the boss means that he wants to create his own brand in the future. It’s better to separate our own brand from other brands of clothing now, our own brand can be slightly higher than other brands’ prices, and when our own brand has enough styles in the future, we won’t sell other brands at all.”

Chen Minghui and Qian Yu had considered this point before, so they advertised for clothing stores at first.Many consumers know their clothing store and come to buy clothes in their store.

"Yes, you will separate our brand from other brands in a while, and increase the price by [-] cents. When customers come over in the future, please introduce them clearly in advance." In this way, more and more people will gradually know them Brand, after the store has more clothing styles, it only sells its own brand.

Chen Minghui and Qian Yu didn't sit on the wall relying on their status as bosses, but followed the waiters to clean up.In the end, their own brand was hung in the most prominent place in the middle, and other brands were hung in two foils.

"I would like to trouble everyone to work overtime today, so please don't leave. I will treat everyone to dinner." The business in the store has been very good recently, and these waiters are very busy. Although there are commissions to follow, these benefits are still there, so Only employees can really love the store like home.

"Thank you boss." The two waiters in the shop clapped their hands and laughed.

Zhu Xinlei was also happy, he didn't expect his first job to be so good, not to mention the benefits, the boss's character is really good.Not to mention working for individuals, even for state-owned units, temporary overtime work is also normal.

His own shop is a bit far away from here, and Aunt Zhou and the others are still busy in the past, so fortunately, they found a snack bar near the clothing store.

Chen Minghui has never been to this store, and he doesn't know the owner of the store, but obviously the owner knows him. When he saw Chen Minghui, he smiled and said: "This time, Boss Chen invites the employees of the store to eat."

Chen Minghui also asked the store owner how he knew him. They were all on the same street. Except that he needed to go to school and was not always in the store, the other owners followed the store, so it was not surprising to know him.

"Boss, what special dishes do you have here, please introduce them to us"

"The boiled fish in this shop is pretty good. If you guys like to eat fish, you can order one. There is just over four catties left in the back kitchen, and the others are all sold out. People who come to our house for dinner will usually order a fish."

"Okay, let's have one." Chen Minghui handed the menu to several other waiters, "Look at what you want to eat, and order one dish each."

The waiters were not from good families, and they had never eaten in a restaurant since they were so old. They were all confused when they were asked to order.

"Boss, you can order."

"It's okay, you can order whatever you like, or if you want to eat something you can't bear to eat, just order it, you are so polite to eat the boss." Chen Minghui.

Qian Yu then said: "Everyone orders a dish, if we can't eat it, let's pack it, so we are not afraid of wasting it."

The two bosses in charge expressed their views in this way, and the other employees would look hypocritical if they didn't order. One of the bold and beautiful girls ordered a dish first.

All meat dishes are expensive, and all vegetarian dishes are cheap. The girl was embarrassed to order the most expensive one, but she was unwilling to order the cheapest one as a treat for the boss. After thinking about it, she ordered a stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, which was half meat and half vegetarian, and the price was moderate.After ordering, he looked up at Chen Minghui and Qian Yu, and saw that the two bosses had no special expressions on their faces, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There are five children in their family. She is the middle one and a girl.Although I am working now, I have a salary every month, and I can occasionally buy something I want to eat, but it is impossible to eat this meat every day, and I have never ordered it from a restaurant. Just now I saw meat dishes that are half meat and half vegetarian. Distressed.This is only half meat and enough for their family's meat and vegetables.But at the same time, I was very greedy, and I was curious about the difference in taste between the meat dishes in this restaurant and the ones made at home, or why they are so expensive.

After that came another waitress, and finally Zhu Xinlei. After ordering, Zhu Xinlei found that Feng Na was the only one left besides the boss. He knew that the two waitresses didn't like Feng Na's temper very much, and they didn't like to take her with them when talking or playing. Squeezing her out for everything, Zhu Xinlei sighed secretly, and handed Feng Na the menu.

Sure enough, Feng Na frantically waved her hands and refused, "No, no, just order."

Zhu Xinlei, a gay man, was not good at pushing him back and forth, so he had to hand the menu back to Chen Minghui in the end.

As the boss, Chen Minghui could only ask again, "Feng Na, if there is anything you like to eat, just order it. Let's each order a dish. You can order whatever you like or what you don't usually eat."

Feng Na shook her head gratefully, and choked up for a while.Chen Minghui was so frightened that he quickly brought over the menu, not daring to continue to give way, for fear that the good atmosphere would be spoiled.

"Xiaoyu, here's a plate of your favorite braised pork." Chen Minghui pushed the menu between the two of them, and they studied it together.They don't realize how intimate this close quarter looks like.

No one paid attention to Feng Na, and immediately suppressed her touch.No one else noticed Feng Na's little emotion.

"Bosses, I remember you two have expressions on your face. You have such a good relationship." The waiter with the most cheerful personality said, "It's really enviable. In the end, your cousin is really happy."

Qian Yu was a little bit ashamed, but more happy.He knew how good Chen Minghui was to him, and other people's parents might not be able to do the same.Chen Minghui gave him all the love of his parents and his partner.

"Xiaoyu is different." Chen Minghui said with deep meaning: "Not every cousin I care about."

The others didn't know what Chen Minghui meant, they only thought that what he said was different, referring to the two personalities of Qian Yu and Qian Yu.It's not surprising that they have many brothers and sisters in their own family, and they don't treat everyone the same. They have favorites and dislikes.But Qian Yu knew what Chen Minghui meant. The names of their two cousins ​​were fake. If they were real cousins, they would have been thrown over the hill by Chen Minghui.

Qian Yu moved his butt to avoid suspicion, Chen Minghui glanced at him, Qian Yu immediately dared not move.

It just so happened that the food was ready at this moment. The shop owner and several waiters brought out the dishes one by one. The meat was fragrant, and they immediately forgot what they said before, and they all stretched their heads to look.

There were six of them in total, and the six dishes were all meat dishes, and there was no vegetarian dish, which was just for a few people with empty stomachs and no oil.

Seeing that the saliva was about to drip down, Chen Minghui didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

"Then we won't be polite." They picked up their chopsticks and started to eat, "This is delicious, and this is also delicious, no wonder it's so expensive, it's really not the same taste as my mother's, it's much more delicious than my mother's .”

For a while, there was only the sound of cups clinking, swords and swords were on the dining table, and no one paid attention to the image, just bowed their heads to eat.

Seeing them eating happily, Chen Minghui and Qian Yu were also happy, and smiled at each other.

After all, there were still three lesbians on the table, and there were still two dishes left, so Chen Minghui asked the waiter to pack them.

Several people were eagerly looking at the packaged dishes, and if they were put in later generations, they would probably dislike them and no one would want them.But in this meeting, as long as there is meat, it is a good thing, let alone it is made by a restaurant.

"In this way, you four rock-paper-scissors, the winner will take two of the dishes back. Don't worry about the remaining two, we will give the other two to the other two next time we have a dinner together."

As soon as Chen Minghui's words came out, several employees were overjoyed. Even Feng Na didn't say no, and hurriedly turned around to fight with several people in rock-paper-scissors.

In the end, Feng Na and Zhu Xinlei won. Zhu Xinlei displayed his gentlemanly demeanor and asked Feng Na to choose first. Feng Na chose an all-meat dish, and Zhu Xinlei took the remaining half-meat dish back.

Feng Na's house was far away, and Chen Minghui and Qian Yu wanted to send them off, but several ladies also stopped by their homes. Zhu Xinlei happened to send them down in a bunch. Chen Minghui was unwilling to give them away, so he quickly dragged Qian Yu away.

On the way, several people chatted while walking, and the girls envied: "Our Boss Chen is really kind to Boss Qian, but this is just a cousin, if you are a biological brother, you can't spoil him."

"That's right." The other said: "But our two bosses are really kind. They give benefits and red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. They never squeeze us. Today, they worked overtime for half an hour and invited us to dinner. My relatives I am a regular employee of a textile factory. During the Chinese New Year, I only gave out some rice flour oil and no red envelopes. After I said that we also gave out rice flour oil and red envelopes, he didn’t believe me and said I was lying. If my mother didn’t know I really can’t explain my monthly salary.”

"We are so lucky. The place where I worked before, the boss didn't give commissions or anything, and there were no benefits, and he wouldn't invite us to dinner. Usually he always asked us to do this and that, and he didn't want to do it after a while. What's more, we often help the boss with work at home."

"Boss Chen treats a cousin so well, and he will treat his partner better in the future. Being able to be his partner must be a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes."

"En." The girls blushed when they said this, but they knew clearly that no matter who Chen Minghui's other half was, it would definitely not be them.Chen Minghui studied in a key high school, and his grades were very good. In the future, his partner will definitely be a lesbian who studies, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be girls like them who can't even write their own names.

Mingyu clothing store became popular overnight, and many students in Chen Minghui's school were wearing Mingyu clothing.

A male student in Class [-] showed off to his good friend: "This is the new clothes my dad bought for me yesterday, isn't it good-looking? Yes, I bought them at the Mingyu clothing store on the radio. Don't you know, his clothes There are many brands, and other brands are cheap, only their own brand, also called Mingyu, is expensive, at least [-] cents more expensive."

As he spoke, the boy showed his deskmate the trademark on the slit of his collar.Sure enough, I saw the words Mingyu Clothing embroidered on it.

At this time, a group of good friends had already gathered around the boy, and they all looked at him enviously.Who doesn't like the clothes of Mingyu Clothing Store, which are fashionable and have brand effect, but the price is not cheap, not everyone can afford it.Now in school, anyone who can wear clothes from Mingyu Clothing Store will be envied by his classmates.

The deskmate who was showing off to the boy was flipping through the paper, thinking.The papers were from the monthly exam some time ago, and the first and second students were Qian Yu and Chen Minghui.These two names sound familiar to him, they are the names of his junior high school classmates.

It turned out that the boy who was flaunted by the same table was Qiming.His father helped Chen Minghui and Qian Yu get into the No. [-] Middle School of the city, and he was admitted to the Experimental High School by virtue of his strength.He had heard of Qian Yu and Chen Minghui during the joint entrance examination, and knew that these two students were transferred from City No. [-] High School. At that moment, he wondered if it was the Qian Yu and Chen Minghui he knew.Then I thought about it, it was possible for Qian Yu to be the first in the exam, but it was absolutely impossible for Chen Minghui.

He didn't believe that Chen Minghui could maintain good grades all the time. The so-called country is easy to change and nature is hard to change, so he never looked for Chen Minghui and Qian Yu.It wasn't until the test papers were issued that he realized that since Chen Minghui and Qian Yu transferred to this school, the two have always firmly occupied the No.2 position.

Qiming kept thinking about these things until after school.He didn't rent a house off-campus, but lived on-campus. As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he looked up and saw his dad sitting on his bed waiting for him.

Father Qi smiled and said, "I came over temporarily for a meeting. I came to see you and clean up. Dad will take you out for dinner. Call the classmates in your dormitory and let's go together."

There are only a few children in a dormitory, even half-children can eat, Qi's father is not short of this money, as long as he can get along well with his son, it is better than anything else.

The boys in the dormitory hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and they thanked Father Qi with a smile.

"Where do you want to eat, tell me a place, uncle invites you."

A few boys looked at me and I saw that you were too embarrassed to say it, and finally Qiming said: "Just tell me where you want to eat, it's okay, ask my dad to treat you."

A boy said: "Then let's go to Huiyu's box lunch. There are a few box lunches in our class at noon. When I opened it, it was so delicious that I almost drool."

Father Qi laughed and said, "Okay, if you want to go, then let's go to Huiyu box lunch."

There are not many people in the box restaurant at night, but even so, there are still three tables in his house. There is no box lunch at night, and a few people order small stir-fries.

Father Qi has been a petty official for these years, and there are always people treating guests to dinner, and he has been to many restaurants, but he has to admit that Huiyu box lunch is one of the best among these restaurants he has eaten.

"This store is really good, and the taste is very good."

A boy swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, you don't know how popular this restaurant is, not only our students like it, but many workers also like the food here. My aunt works in a textile factory, and she I'm hungry, so I'll order their food for lunch."

Father Qi nodded.

Another boy said: "Also, I heard that the bosses of this store are two students who are about the same age as us. My dad saw those two bosses and said I was here when he came back. They are the same age. With so much money, I still have to eat and drink from my father."

Qiming frowned slightly, not knowing why he always had an inexplicable and strange sense of familiarity, Huiyu box lunch, Huiyu—Chen Minghui Qian Yu.He remembered that the two of them had been doing business since they were in junior high school.But Chen Minghui's bastard, did he know anyone here, how could he make such a big deal.

Father Qi looked at his son in a trance and asked, "What's the matter, what are you thinking about?"

Qiming quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing."

"You wrote back last time and told me that I passed the monthly exam and passed No. 40 in the whole year. Your mother said to reward you. You can say whatever you want. I happened to be here and bought it for you."

"Uncle Qi, buy him some clothes. Our school now wears clothes from Mingyu Clothing Store. Before, Qiming was at the same table as him to show off."

"Really?" Qi's father asked Qiming, seeing his son nodding, he said, "Alright then, let's go buy it later."

He didn't want his son to be compared to others because of his clothes, so he led them to the clothing store after dinner.

He has also heard of Mingyu clothing store. There is no entertainment at the moment, and he also listens to the radio after get off work. There are only a few stations with storytelling, so he has naturally listened to it.

Before coming here, Qi's mother asked him to go to this Mingyu clothing store to have a look. If there is any good-looking clothes to bring back for him, we will go together.

The waiters in the store are very enthusiastic and thoughtful. Knowing that Qi's father buys clothes for his lover, several waiters enthusiastically introduced many styles.Qi's father chose a 180 yuan woolen coat, and also bought a suit for Qiming.

A few classmates envied: "Qiming, your family's conditions are really good, and you don't even blink if you spend hundreds of dollars."

Qiming just smiled and said nothing. At this moment, the door of the clothing store was pushed open, and two boys walked in from the outside.

"Boss." A waiter shouted respectfully when he saw the person coming.

"Is the store busy today?" Chen Minghui asked, turning his head, and saw Qi's father who was paying the money, and Qiming who was next to him now.

"Uncle Qi, Qiming." Chen Minghui took a step forward and introduced to Qian Yu: "Xiaoyu, this is Qiming's father, Uncle Qi. Uncle Qi helped me to go to No. [-] Middle School before."

Qian Yu hurriedly called out politely, "Uncle Qi."

Qi's father was very impressed with Chen Minghui, a child of the same age as his son, with a poor background, a tough personality, not afraid of life, and asked him to do things.

"It's the two of you. How are you studying now? City No. [-] Middle School is a key high school. You should study hard there. Did you take the monthly exam in City No. [-] Middle School? How many students did you pass?"

Qiming's face suddenly turned a little red, he thought of the results of the two of them, and he thought of himself, never thought that one day he would be compared by Chen Minghui.

"Xiaoyu and I have changed schools, not in City No. [-] Middle School, but transferred to the experiment."

The first thing Qi's father thought of right away was that Chen Minghui must have messed up something again and was kicked out of No. [-] High School.Otherwise, some students would transfer out from City No. [-] Middle School.Father Qi didn't continue to ask, and changed the subject with a smile: "You two also come to buy clothes."

This time, without waiting for Chen Minghui and Qian Yu to answer, the waiter at the side said first: "These two are our bosses."

"Ah." Father Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "What, you saw this store?"

"Yes." Chen Minghui agreed to pick up a card from the counter, "Uncle Qi, this is the membership card of our clothing store. With this card, you can get [-]% off when you come to buy things. And this is a member of Box Restaurant Card, that store is also open, and you can also get a discount with it.”

Qi's father looked down and saw that it was the restaurant where he took his children to eat before. He stared at Chen Minghui in shock, dumbfounded.

"Dad." Qiming tugged on his father's sleeve in embarrassment, and Qi's father recovered from the shock.Unbelievably asked: "You opened these two stores, and you opened them yourself"

"No, it was opened by Xiaoyu and I."

Only then did Father Qi breathe a sigh of relief, "Let me just say, how could you, a child, open such a big shop..."

"Dad, Xiaoyu is Qian Yu, and Chen Minghui is talking about Qian Yu."

Qi's father's eyes fell on Qian Yu, of course he knew that Qian Yu was from the same village, and he knew everything about Qian Yu clearly.It turned out that Chen Minghui really drove it by himself.

Until he left the store, Qi's father was still in a trance, "Xiao Ming, you are actually in the same school as the two of them, and you can keep in touch with them. This Chen Minghui should be a prodigal son, and he will be capable in the future. Don't just look at your grades when you make friends , but also look at others, such as Chen Minghui, his grades may not be good, but his future achievements will not be small."

Qiming pursed his lips, "Dad, do you remember the previous entrance exam, Qian Yu ranked first in the province, and Chen Minghui came in second. In this monthly exam, although each school did not have a joint entrance exam, Qian Yu and Chen Minghui are still No. 1 in our school. .2 and No.[-]."

The shock that he received that night was not small, and Qi's father had nothing to say.
