When he got close, he could hear the sound of the machine running. It was like knocking on people’s hearts. The white-haired old man skillfully controlled the shoes and the machine in his hands in perfect coordination. One look and you could tell that he was a veteran.

Not only were there frostbites and cracks on his big, dark hands, but there were also some thick calluses. This was a pair of hands that worked hard for the masses.

“Old Xue is busy. He’ll fix my shoes later. My shoes are open again.” The old lady was probably more active when she saw someone familiar, so she started to greet them from a few meters away.

“Alright, you can put it there. I only have one left. It’ll be done soon.” Old master Xue took the time to raise his head and glance at it, then lowered his head and continued to work.

“Hello, uncle Xue.” Yuan Zhou greeted him.

“Young man, do you want to repair your shoes?” Grandpa Xue finally stopped what he was doing when he heard Yuan Zhou’s voice. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhou with his eyes glistening.

“I’m here to accompany you, mother-in-law. ” Yuan Zhou shook his head.

When uncle Xue heard this, he replied with an “Oh” and continued to repair it.

“I have a pair of running shoes that need to be put online. I don’t know if you can make them here.” Yuan Zhou thought for a few seconds and then said.

“Let me take a look. I know that you young people like to save face, so I’m sure you’ll make it unremarkable. I definitely won’t be able to tell.” Old master Xue’s tone revealed his confidence.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, uncle Xue.” Yuan Zhou said.

“It’s not troublesome for young people to waste their shoes,” Old master Xue said.

On the topic, Grandpa Xue started to chat with Yuan Zhou while repairing his shoes. From time to time, he would burst into laughter. It was clear that he was quite talkative.

They shifted their attention to the Kong Liang tea house. They didn’t know what it had to do with the famous Kong Liang hotpot.

In the teahouse, Zheng Jiawei and director Xue were having a business discussion. They were mainly divided into two tables.

At one table were Zheng Jiawei in a delicate dress and President Xue in a Chinese tunic suit. At the other table were his Secretary and others.

“Then it’s settled. When the time comes for the auction at painting God Lodge, we’ll need the help of chief Xue.” Zheng Jiawei said.

“No problem, Mr. Zheng, you can rest assured and leave it to us. Eaves Wu’s business is my business, and I’m also one of the participants.” Director Xue’s adoration for Wu Hai was fully revealed.

“Then let’s sign the contract today.” Zheng Jiawei took out the documents from the brown folder and handed them to director Xue.

“Secretary li, please show Mr. Zheng our contract.” Director Xue called out to the young man at the small table.

“I’m here, President. ” “Okay!” Secretary li answered and took out two documents from the briefcase on the table. Within a few steps, he came to Zheng Jiawei and handed the documents to him with both hands.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

After Zheng Jiawei took over the document, he carefully read through it and found no problem with it. Then, he handed the document to the lawyer sitting at the table next to him.

When signing such a contract, a lawyer must be present. Zheng Jiawei wouldn’t think that he knew a little about the law and take charge of the contract. President Xue also brought the company’s lawyer.

“No problem, let’s sign it.” Zheng Jiawei said.

“I’m fine with it too. ” Director Xue said.

The collaboration this time was a win-win situation. On one hand, chief Xue’s company would provide publicity and logistics services, and on the other hand, chief Xue would be a participant in the auction.

“Mr. Zheng is eaves Wu’s best right-hand man. He’s really efficient.” As a fan of Wu Hai, director Xue kept talking about Wu Hai.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to sign the document. It was done in a few minutes. There were two copies of the document, and they exchanged one copy for each person’s safekeeping. The two business deals were thus closed.

Zheng Jiawei took a look at his watch and found it was almost 11:00. If he went there now, he might be able to have a good lunch and go there with director Xue, which could fulfill his wish of meeting Wu Hai.

Just when Zheng Jiawei was about to speak, director Xue spoke first. With a height of 1.8 meters, he felt a little embarrassed but still said,”Mr. Zheng saw that you’re wearing leather shoes, and the way you walk must be very tiring. Do you want to repair your shoes? if you want to repair them, I have a good recommendation. Their skills are quite good.”

After the first sentence, the second sentence was very smooth. From the fluency of his words, it was not difficult to tell that this was not the first time that director Xue had done this.

Zheng Jiawei, who was known as the ‘smooth and slick’, was a little dumbfounded. Wasn’t he just talking about business a moment ago? he was just thinking about lunch. How could he have jumped to repairing shoes? did he miss some key information?

“Repair shoes?”

Zheng Jiawei looked at director Xue hesitantly. If he remembered correctly, director Xue’s company was a cultural publicity company and was even involved in some cultural publishing. It shouldn’t have anything to do with shoes.

“It’s like this. My dad is old. He used to be in this line of work and he hasn’t given up yet. I’ve tried to persuade him many times, but old people can’t be persuaded. ”

Director Xue sighed. After all, he was a boss. It wouldn’t be good to tell others that his father was repairing shoes.

“There’s nothing we can do even if we can’t persuade him. The key is, how many people are there who need to repair shoes? He was unhappy that no one came to him to fix it, so I thought I should introduce him to some business. ” Director Xue said.

“I see. Is there any particular way to repair shoes? can you repair anything?” Zheng Jiawei asked.

Strictly speaking, this President Xue was really quite filial.

“Anything is fine. Leather shoes, cloth shoes, sandals, stitching, changing soles-my dad’s skills are superb. There’s absolutely no problem.” Director Xue introduced them with great familiarity.

“What’s the address? I’ll go and take a look if I need to.” Zheng Jiawei said thoughtfully.

“It’s next to No. 16 Jiayuan Road. It’s a small shed. It’s easy to find it there.” Director Xue said immediately.

“Jiayuan Road. It’s very close to here and Taoxi road.” Zheng Jiawei said.

“That’s right, it’s very close. ” “I guess the entire Chenghua District knows that my dad is fixing shoes,” director Xue replied.

Zheng Jiawei nodded his head and kept it in mind.

“Director Xue, do you have anything to do next? if you don ‘t, we can have lunch together.” Zheng Jiawei nodded and told him what he had thought.

“No problem. I’ll go visit my dad after dinner and buy him some food. Where are we going to eat?” Director Xue asked.

“It’s the master chef Restaurant on Taoxi road. You should know it, chief Xue. ” Zheng Jiawei said.

“Who in Chengdu doesn’t know head chef Yuan from Taoxi road? He turned an ordinary Street that was about to be demolished into a tourist attraction. He’s quite impressive. ” “And most importantly,” director Xue said,”head chef Yuan should be the only one who can be compared with eaves Wu in terms of artistic achievements.”

The main reason why director Xue knew about Yuan Zhou was because of eaves Wu. Of course, due to the location of his workplace and other problems, director Xue had never been to master chef Restaurant.

“Well, not only his artistic achievement, but also his craftsmanship is quite good. Little hai eats there every day.” Zheng Jiawei said.

When the die-hard fan Wu heard this, he immediately got up and ordered his Secretary to bring the documents back to the company. Then, CEO Xue said,””Then let’s not delay any further. Let’s go.”
